A. F. Monroe, in Coles County, Ill, Hung by Mob.

We regret to learn that Monroe, who murdered
his father-in-law, Ellington, in Coles county,
Ill, who was TO have been executed according;
to law last Friday, but who had been respited
by the Governor till the 18th of MAY, was hung
by mob the day first above mentioned.
We find the following particulars of the last
tragedy in the Missouri Republican of the 18th
ga large crowd, as is usual on such occasions
had assembled to witness the execution, and
when it was known that respite had been
received, a portion determined to hang him any
how. They broke into the jail where the pris-
oner was, by means of picks a.d other tRols
dragged him out, and hung him to tree.
a. The murder for which Monroe was convicted
murdered his father-in- law, whose name was
Ellington.
This murder has been the cause of much
excitement in Coles county, ever since it was
committed. AT the trial, there was some rea-
son to apprehend that the accused might escape
a conviction, and hundreds of citizens assembled
around the Court House, and gave unmistakeable
| signs of their intention to hang the murderer il
the jury should not do their duty They were
saved from this act of violence by his conviction
and the sentence of death being passed upon
him. An appeal was taken to the. Qapreme
Court, lately in session at Springfield, but there
| the motion for arrest of execution was denied
and the sentence permitted to take its course
| What followed, is briefly stated above. The
man, on hearing what was going on outside OF
the Jail. attempted to destroy himself by beat
ing his brains out against the wall of the prison.
and when taken out he was in an inscnsible
condition. Upon his restoration, the mob hanged
him. 1t is said that six eight of the leaders
in the affair have been arrested and are now
confined in jail to await an examination
zone Of the papers from Coles county, printed
last week, contained long speech which the
murderer intended to delrer at his trial but from
which he dissuaded by his counsel and
friends

The Graduation Law.

The following should have appeared in our
last issue, but by some means got mislaid:
Its very probable that more than one-half
the entries made under the Graduation Law are
liable to be contested. According to the Com
missioner, the contested cases are of the follow
ing classes.
L. Where the land entered was under settle
ment at the date of the law by party who
claims a superior right by virtue of such set
Element.
2. Where the entry was made for the use of
an adjoining farm, and the land entered does
not, with the farm, form compact body.
3. Where the entry was made for the use of
an adjoining farm and it is alleged the party
owned no such farm, and the entry was made
in fraud
4. Where the entry made for the use of an
adjoining farm but in which the tract is wild
unoccupied land, and not in fact farm within
the contemplation of the law.
5. Where the entry was made for actual set
Element and cultivation, and it is alleged the
party sold the land soon after it was entered, at
an advance price, and before any settlement had
been made thereon.
b. Where the entry was made by minor.
They viii be tried before the local land Off

The Republican papers talk about the
union of Southern Know Nothings with the
Democrats on the final ballot for Speaker II
Nothings chose to vote for one of them instead
of Mr.. Banks. The Democrats. be it remember
ed, did not vote for Know Nothing, as did the
Republicans IN Congress- Democrat.
If ait was no fault of Democrats that South
Know Nothings chose to vote for one of them
instead of Mr. Banks" what means the follow
ing statement of the Administration organ at
Washington-the Union 1t frankly says:
The Southern Know Nothings manifested a
determination against casting their votes for the
Democratic nominees not less persistent than
refusal to vote for Mr. Banks. On Friday hog-
eper propositions rere made By dnaorrats to pltieh
The Southern hno1v NotBiags indicated disposition
to Gccode-the one proposing Mr.. Oliver, an old
line Wing. aud the other Mr.. AIKEN, National
Democrat. fer Speaker"
The result Of the ballot shows that The. South
Know Nothirgs did .'accede to the prop
osition made by Democrats" and erery So,aher,.
haoac Nothing ia Congress roto3 for Mr. 4ike,,.-
1t appears that Mr.. Pierce too must have been
accessory TO these propositions made by DEM
ocrats, for he well knew that Mr.. Aiken could
not be elected without Know Nothing votes. and
so confident was he of that gentleman's success
under the plurality rule that, he took occasion to
congratulate him In advance upon the success
that awaited him. Who could have been in the
fault if Democrats were not?

For the Tribune.
RESOURCES OF R1cHLAND COUNTY.

Having lust made a short trip through part
of Richland county, / am more impressed with
its resources than ever before ! have no doubt
that ii viii become, at no distant day, one OF
the wealthiest and most important counties In
th. State 1t has an abundance OF the best
kind of hard timber and its soil is, for the most
rart of the richest kind. Crossing the river at
Richiand City, you find yourself ut the mouth
of Pine River Valley, which stretches up into
the county northward, averaging from one to
five miles III width, and affording some OF the
most productive and beautiful farms in the State
This valley is abundantly watered by numerous
springs gushing from the sides of the bluffs on
each side, and making their way to Pine river.
A person passing up this valley for the first
time, would be very much deceived In regard to
its width l could not persuade myself that it
was half as wide as it is, until l had driven
some two or three miles in crossing it, The
bluffs are beautiful, especially in summer. They
afford good timber, and much fine table land
their tops. They are finely adapted for
sheep raising" and no doubt the time is not
far distant when they will all be occupied for
that purpose.
RIcHLAND CENTER, the county seat is situated
some ten or twelve miles up this valley, and is
I. growing village. But little more than one
year since, it had only about 80 inhabitants /;
now it has some 800, with a prospect of great
increase during the next season. They have a
gaod water-power, partially improved with mills,
and more being put up 1t is located nearly at
the centre of the county, and altogether the best
place in the county for its seat. Some discon-
tented spirits, owning property at Richmond, a
south of the county, feeling especial interest in
the retdre Of the dear people of the county, now
striving to have the county seat removed to that
place, Any disinterested person would see at
once that Richland Center is the place and
only place for the county seat. There is quite
an Intelligent and inviting community there
They have weekly newspaper, ably conducted
by Mr.. Sanderson. A Methodist and Presby-
terrain church-the latter under the care of Rev.
Joseph Matthews-is expecting to build house
of worship this coming summer. There are fine
locations for farms to be had, within short dis
lance of the village, at reasonable rates. as 1 was
informed by DR.. Gray, land agent in the place
There several of these valleys making up
from the river towards the North, and rising
gradually until they spread out in beautiful
table land, well timbered, well watered and
very rich farming land. II.

sB- A terrible instance of suffering, caused
by post office mismanagement or robbery, SAYS
the Boston Post, happened recently at st. Louis.
A man who went thence TO Texas to return i'm
mediately, found some profitable business which
would detain him several months, and therefore
wrote to his wife, enclosing $50 for her present
wants. The letter never reached her, and be-
ing with her five children turned ont of her
home for non-payment of rent, and driven to
despair by the idea that her husband had de-
serted her, she drowned herself and Youngest
child in the Mississippi. The unhappy husband
and father, receiving no answer to his letter. re-
turned to St. Louis to md himself wldower,
and his children supported by public charity
The Postmaster wl,o stole that $3.50 will have
fearful account TO settle with a department the
Head of which it is impossible to cheat or de-
ceive
