The Franklin County outrage.

If man is known by the company he keeps,

appoints and the tools he employs, no matter
what gOody outside seeming be puts on
Deputy Marshals Dayton and Davis are evil
IDENTIFY birds of the same feather, and the Mar
sbal must have understood his men through
sympathy or intuition, when he appointed them
to the special duty of "nigger catchers." The
details of the last exploit in Franklin county
are even more cruel and oppressive towards the
victim, the young school master Lincoln, than
related by our Oberlin correspondent. It seems
that Davis was one of the frightened kidnap-
pers at Wellington who let go his grasp of the
slave John, and begged for his life of the res
cuers. and that his ironing and other oppres-
sve acts toward Lincoln were moved by demo-
MAC revenge. Wb,n rIst by Davis and Lowe
into felon's cell in Columbus, young Lincoln
made an effort to communicate with personal
scquaintances in the city; but the greatest favor
he could obtain was the promise that letter
should be lodged IN the Post Office, to get thence
to its destination after he should be miles away.
a letter from Prof Peck to the State Journal
detailing some of the enonmities of the outrage,
thus concludes:
But, though in bonds, the eaptive-ssas hon-
ored uith company Two on etlsse men came
in evidently either to sound or taunt him. One
of the visitors was Dayton, Clerk of the House,

As he was 'in cahoot" with Lowe when that
worthy was man-hunting ir Lorain, it was pro-
per that he should be invited in to share the
officials triumph. Some of us wonder that he
did not think of making some recomPense for
the protection he enjoyed at our hands, when
his soul shivered before the popular rage which

TO do so or not, and telling him of the plight

Not to dwell on further particulars, / may
say that the prisoner was kept with no food till
the next morning at three O'Clock, whsn Lowe
started with him for Cleveland At Cleveland
the prisoner loas discharged on his olcn recogRiS-
ance, as soon SIS Judge Wilson could be found.
Now, if nanacIes and Imprisonment IN jail are
not singular treatment for a man who is on his
way TO be discharged on his own recognizances,
and whom the attending officer had reason to
suppose would be so discharged, then I am
altogether mistaken.
And am still more mistaken, if Davis and
Lowe do not find before they get through with
this matter, that kidnapping in Ohio and all its
sdjuncts are serious and expensive amusements.
promise you, sir, that the fire which this out
rage has kindled in Lorain, will not go out till an
effort has been made to teach these arbitrary
and insolent officials that freemen know what

The Revolution in HaytI

The telegraph report here gave but a meagre
account of the movements of the Revolutionists
in Hayti A passenger by the North Wind ar
rived at Boston, furnishes the following inte
resting details:
For some time it has been supposed at Con-
aives that political rising was intended.
On the afternoon of December %, four armed
individuals landed on the beach and entering
Gonaives gaIloped at once to La Plaza, the resi-
dence of the Governor. where Jeffard demanded
an entrance of the sentinel, and that the cry of
"Vive la RepubIique" should be raised, which
demands the sentinel refused to comply with.
Jeffard and his companions then frightened the
sentinel of the jail into a liberation of about
forty political prisoners, who Joined Jeffard.-
The whole party returning to the Governors
residence summoned him 10 a surrender to the
forces of liberty and the Republic. He acceded
to their demands and resigned. The strong
part of the town was now in possession of JEFF
fard who was joined by all the military and town
people. They then marched to a palace be-
longing to Soulouque, where deputation met
them and proclaimed the Republic of Hayti
with Jeffard as provisional bead.
On Thursday, Dec. %, the Republic was
publicly proclaimed in the Grand Square, and
Jeffard named Provisional President, which of
fee he accepted. Governor Bartholomew gave
iu his submission. and, after grand solemn
zation by the Church, the new Constitution
was signed by the late authorities of the prin
cipal cities.
The forces of Jeffard were augmented BY
citizens of Gonaives, and the fortified town o.
st. Mares was taken possession of without op
position. Here they we've to remain and recruit
until they were strong enough to meet tht
forces of Soulouque in the field, or assail hin
at Port au-Prince.
The insurrection was spreading north ant
south Various DEGREES had been issued, on,
of which revives and puts N force the Constitu
ton of 1916, and provides for the calling of
Legislature by President Jeffard.
DEGREES had also been promulgated releasing
all political prisoners; increasing the rations o
soldiers, and ordering the destruction of tht
Fort of Gonaives.
A decree had also been issued, headed "Tbt
Republic of Hayti," which, in the name of tbs
nation, deprives Soulouque of all power. Il
also characterizes his administration as nothing
but series of rObberies.
