already noticed the arrival Of Matt
Ward and brother ut Cannelton, Ind
They had been in the town buta short
time before, as we learn from the
Huntsville Eagle, q committee of citi-
zens waited upon them and desired
them to leave the place. Thereupon
they went 10 Judge Huntington's,
some distance in the country: and af.
forwards took passage in the Eclipse
fer Arkansas. When the steamer
reached Henderson, large crowd
collected on the wharf and ordered the
captain to be of with his boat and car.

"A wanderer and vagabond shalt
thou be on the Earth" He finds no
rest, no abiding place, no refuge, no
continuing city. wherever he goes ven.
geance pursues him. His case is not
like that Of Prometheus. bound to III G

by the Furies.

THE TRIAL OF MATT. WARD.

Ing gu. against the Ubiquitous proceed
ings Of the court and jury that set the
cold-blooded murderer. Ward, out upon
an unprotected community. Even the
Lo uisvillc Journal has been compelled
to condemn,in part, the course pursued.
The Louisville Democrat, has, from the
FIRST, spoken out feorlesly; Ia a late
number II says
We nave been denounced Tor the mil.
dcst notice OF this case heretofore. We
were told to wait Tor the regular course
of justice. Well, we have had the reg.
uar course OF justice-we have had law
and order; and what has law and order
eonel God deliver us from law and or.
der, II these are their fruits. We know
that the popular mind and heart are right
on this subject. Public sentiment did
not do the deed II seeks no vengeance
but justice; justice is outragedi one of
our purest, and nobIest, and most useful
citizens has been slaughtered IN our
midst. Law and order says he was killed
in self defence. We care not what 9th.
ers may think; nor do we wish to wound
the feelings q the innocent; but we shall
write and publish what we please In the
name Of insulted justice-in the name
OF the Insulted memory OF the righteous
dead, most wickedly assaulted by this very
act. There remains but one tribunal
this side OF tie grave. where Butler
sleep; that 10 the tribunal OF public opin-
ion. There are some men seeking pub.
lie favor of the peoplein this region who
have made themselves very oficlous In
this business. They shall have the at
tention they need. Theiwholo case and
the testimony will be laid before the pub.
lie, as we'll as the testimony excluded by
tho court. The court would admit no
testimony about the whipping In school
but II was indirectly brought in by the
defence, and cut figure in the speeches.
The prosecution was ready to have ami
hilatcd all that could DO said on that
psint by overwhelming proof, but Il was
shut out. The deceased was not to be
assailed-a pledge promptly given. but
not redeemed. The friends OF the de.

rKMPERANcE LAWS IN OHIO.

detail and can not tell how MANI week
places they may have, that will nuhiy
them. But. If the laws are we'll guar
ded in those elections that relate TO
enforcement. Ohio may be said to have
adopted the MAINE Law. twill be
seen that seizure and destruction stand
outagnins, adulterGted liquors. which,
as every body knows. include nearly
oil that is sold as a beverage.
We predicted this result la'i fall,
even while the rummies were growing
over the defeat Of the Maine Law men,
We had learned from reliable source.
that very large majority of the leg
islature was pledged to 70 wholesome
law, restricting the sale of liquors as
n beverage. We hope this law may
prove TO be such.
We learn that already the tsvems
and groceries in the country have gen.
orally taken down their bars. In the
larger places the liquor sellers will
combine to resist the law by testing its
consliIutionality and by buying up the
officers.

OF the important change:

Lieutenant Governor Willard and Mr..

have only taken the start of them. and
as we cannot support the iniquitous Ne
braska bill, have stepped nut TO prevent
being thrown out along with the masses
of the voters OF the party. When hon.
est councils prevail among the leaders
we will step In again with the mass Of
the voters. We are a democrat, and the

ciple, and we have only to stand still
until the Democratic voters shake or
