KIDNAPPING AT CAIRo.-For some time
past rumors have been current that certain
parties at Cairo were in the habit of kid
mapping free negroes, taking them over to
Missouri and Kentucky and there selling
them. Their operations were conducted
with considerable caution, and however
strongly suspicious may have been excited,
there was no tangible evidence on which to
base proceedings against the suspected par
ties. Last week, however, one of their vic
Tins succeeded in getting back to Cairo,
and his revelations fully confirmed the pre-
viously entertained belief But the kidnap-
pers could not be dealt with upon his testi-
mony. They not only continued at large,
but on Saturday night last, along with their
own kidney, they attacked house in which
several colored persons were congregated,
breaking down the doors and windows and
shooting among them. Some injury to per-
son was done on both sides, but no one was
very seriously damaged.
Subsequently three Of the whites were
arrested under charge of riot and kidnap-
ping, taken before magistrate, and held to
bail. On Monday two arrests were made
under the black Laws of the State and fined,
one in the sum of $50, the other $40. The
fines were paid and the parties left town.
A panic then spread among the remaining
colored people, who preciptately left the
place, most of them taking refuge in Mound
City. We are sorry to have to record a
state Of facts so dsgraceful to that portion
of our State as the above. We trust the
miscreants who are in limbo may be proper
ly dealt with

THE STATE PRIsoS AT JoLIEr-The build
ing of the east wing and the kitchen depart.
ment Of the State Prison at Joliet have been
contracted to Messrs Sanger & Casey-oi
st. Louis and Alton-for Sl36, 600. They
are bound by their contract, however, to
complete the work only to the extent OF
$3.50, 900, this being the amount of the ap-
preparation by the State; but it is presumed
that some arrangement will be made for full
filling the whole contract. The State ap-
propriated 100000 in money, and the old
prison property at Alton, which the con-
tractors have taken at sec, 600. The con-
tract has been taken below the estimate of
the architects, Messrs Boyington Vince
lock. Bids were received for the whole pri-
son, but contracts were only made as above
stated.

BURDELL CASE AGAIN.-The excitement in
reference to the DR.. Burdell murder case, in
New York has been revived in new shape,
that borders on the lud icrous A New York
despatch of the 4th inst says:
Mrs. Cunningham was again arrested to.
day on a charge of felony. 1t appears that
at the trial before the Surrogate, Mrs. C.'s
counsel, limited that she was enciente by Dr.
Burdell. Suspicion was aroused and plan
formed to entrap her through her own ply
sician, DIR. Uhl. A marked child was Dor
rowed from the Bellevue Hospital, and last
night Mrs. Cunningham pretended to be de.
livered Of it. The arrest is at the instance
of Dist. Attorney Hall.

A Fearful Crime.

The Chicago papers during the week have
given large space to an investigation before
the Coroner referring to the cause of the
death of lady named Regnat Lawson, IN
der circumstances showing she had been the
victim of foul play. The outlines of the
case, as elected by this investigation, are
thus given by tine Press:
Early in week before last, Mr. Temple,
from Chillicothe, Bureau Co., in this State,
came to this city accompanied by young
woman named Regnate Lawson and physi-
clan named DIR. Swanzey. The girl, who
was about twenty-five years Of age, had been
adopted and brought up in the family of Mr..
Temple. BY him she had become enciente,
and the trip to this city was made it would
appear, for the express purpose Of procuring
an abortion. This was certainly the Inten-
ton with which the physician made one of
the party. They put up at the American
House in this city, and there on Wednesday
of week before last an abortion was per-
formed with instruments, to which the poor
girl who was bound by the wretches, was
forced to submit. Such were her suiferiDgs,
and so much was she injured, that the two
men fearing she would die on their hands,
and dreading exposure, had her conveyed by
night to the cottage of German woman on
State street, near the southern limits of the
! city, with whom she was left under the re-
! presentation that she was a stranger and
! taken i'll had suffered miscarriage.
The girl grew rapidly worse, and the
woman sent for DIR. Bevan, who at once was
put in possession of the facts, as also Coro-
ner Hansen, who had been summoned by the
woman, under the impression that he was
the Health Officer. On Friday night the
girl was taken in carriage by Temple and
Dr. Swazcy, and carried 10 Bulls Head and
either died on the way or soon after her ar
rival there. The man Temple then came to
the Undertaker's shop of Mr.. Jourdan, on
Clark street, to procure a coffin. 1t CHANGED
that Coroner Hansen, who had been in
search Of the man, was at the time sitting in
the coffin wareroom. lie Immediately pro-
preceded to Bulls Head and took possession Of
the remains of the girl, and caused Temple
to be arrested.
The result of the investigation before the
coroner was, that Temple and DR.. Swanzey,
both Of whom were men of wealth and the
" first respectability" about home, the for
mer being deacon in church, were commit
ted to stand their trial for murder.

All England and Scotland have been ex-
cited by domestic tragedy somewhat in the
way this country was six months ago by
the Burdell tragedy in New York The
case in Scotland was that Of Miss Madelaine
Smith. who was tried at Edinburgh, on the
charge of having poisoned her lover, .
Freuchman named L'Angelier. Miss Smith
was a lady of education, Of good family,
handsome, and young, having been raised
under the most rigid system Of seclusion
from the concentrating influences of "the
world" While her parents imagined her
carefully pursuing her studies at boarding
school, however, she was secretly receiving
the addresses of L'Anselier, young man
without family or prospects, whose only
means of support were his scanty wages as
an employee about Glasgow warehouse.
His visits to Miss Smith having been forbid
den by her parents, she had stolen inter
views with him, and these went SO far that
he would pass whole nights with her in her
bedroom, until at last by her own confession,
she was seduced by him. After two or
three years thus spent, however, Miss Smith
seemed to tire of her lover, and finally yield
cd to the addresses Of a man more suitable
to her position and prospects. But now
came the difficulty of disposing Of her old
lover A long correspondence between the
two takes place, in which L'Angelier appears
not to insist on marrying the lady himself,
but will not allow her to marry another.
Finally series Of interviews are arranged
between the parties At the first, the lover
drinks some chocolate handed him by the
lady, and goes home with bad cholic. Al
the next he drinks coffee, and is similarly
affected. The last interview, which lasted
several hours, takes place, and few hours
afterwards the lover is found at his own door
dead, and on post naorten examination, he
is pronounced by the physicians to have
been poisoned with arsenic. Suspicion rests
on Miss Smith, she is found to have pur
chased arsenic Of several druggists short
time before each interview-she is arrested
and put on trial for her life. After patient
investigation Of nine days, the jury return q
verdict, that the various counts in the indict
mcnt are not proren. This is a peculiarly
Of the mode Of jury trial in Scotland, ant
while it amounts to temporary acquittal, i
does not insure the culprit against subse
quent arraignment for the same offense
should new evidence come to light. As
would have been the case in this country
so in Scotland, the sympathy Of the immense
throng of spectators that attended the tria
| from its commencement to the close, was
with the fair but frail culprit. When the
verdict was announced, there was a vehe
ment burst Ct cheering from the audience
which was again and again renewed, as th'
efforts of the judges and officers Of the cour
were redoubled to suppress it. As for th'
lady, she went through the whole trial will
astonishing GOODNESS and sang .froid, and OF
the announcement of the verdict, manifested
no other emotion than slightly to drop he
head, while her face frightened into some
what a.itated smile.

<sThe White Man First"

On the great niger question, the Chicago
Press takes its stand on this plank. 1t says
" Let Douglas Co. continue to taunt the
Republicans with being the special lovers of
negroes, if they think it wise to do so. We
trust that none Of them are the enemies Of
that unfortunate race, but when called upon
to choose, they are compelled to say with
Major Rollins, 1--WE go for the white man
first" Waging no war upon slavery where
it is, content to leave its fate to be deter
mined by providental agencies, they are
determined that so far as in them lies an
oligarchy of stockholders shall not be per-
mitted to monopolize the finest portion Of
the national domain to the exclusion Of the
multitude of white freemen whose inherit
ance it justly is. Let us, then, hold Douglas
& Co. to this issue. We cannot in candor
retort upon them that they love the negro
race, but their acts have shown that series
of big plantations is to them a more grateful
sight than prosperous community Of white
freemen."
We call the attention Of the old abolition
portion of the Republican party of La Sale
county to this extract. The Chicago Press
is the exponent Of the views Of such men as
Lincoln, Browning, Peck, &C., who go for
purging the Republican party Of its radical
abolitionism. They arc opposed to waging
war upon slavery where it is" ard are
willing to trust to "providential agencies
for its extinction. The sum and Substance
Of their anti-slavery pretensions is, that they
are willing to avail themselves of that gene
raj feeling of adherence of slavery which
the labors of the abolitionists have succeeded
/ in infusing in the whole northern mind, so
| far as to make it instrumental in securing
votes against the democratic party by giving
emphasis to Kansas shrieking; but when il
comes to the practical test Of doing some
thing to free negro, they fold their arms,
and say, "wc make no war on slavery where
it is" Are the genuine abolitionists, who
compose at least half of the Republican
party in this county, willing to bring all
their preaching, and labors and groans in
the cause Of " breaking the shackles of the
oppressed" to this lame and impotent con,
clusion? Freedom in Kansas" forsootAi
Is slave in Louisiana any the less saS
because his master cannot carry him il,
Kansas. If our old abolitionists are ~ .iins
to labor for and help into Office and power
men who will thus ignore and stultiify all
their principles, we shall regard them as tine
most hollow and hypocritical politicians the
history of the world gives an example of.
