LYNCH LAw.-Ths Louisville Journal

says:
The negro who murdered the German
shoemaker and his wife, the other day, near
Herculaneum, Missouri, was hung by the
sovereign people on Tuesday last, accord
ing to the code Of Judge Lynch. There is
no sense in such proceedings. The laws
would have hung him, and they did nothing
more. The murder was so deliberate, cold.
blooded, demoniacal, the only wonder is, that
some other and more terrible mode of exscu-
had not been resorted to Better, far
better, TO let the laws take their course.
