One of the most diabolical and black-hear-
ted outrages has recently been committed
upon two respectable citizens of Memphis
No., Mr.. w. TuLL and son. at Fairfield
Iowa, by parcel of Black Republicans
The facts, as we learn them from highly
respectable sources, are substantially as
follows: A year or two ago negro woman
belonging TO Mr. T., was abduoated by some
nigger-thieves, and taken to Iowa; Recent
ly he was informal she was IN Fairfield,
and Mr.. T., and his son went there for the
purpose of ascertaining il such was the fact
and if SO TO bring he- away. Arriving in
Fairfield, Mr.. T.. in order 10 identify the
oman, ordered her to bare her arm, so he
could sec if there was certain mark upon
it. The freedom shriekers couldn't stand
that! They arrested the gentlemen upon q
charge Of being kidnappsrs, and held them
TO bail in the sum Of Sc 1000, in default Of
which they were committed to Jail. The
citizens Of iowa have need 10 blush with
shame for this dastardly and uncalled for
act of injustice ON the part of portion Of
their people. Two. men go quietly into O
place in search Of stolen property, and their
SET upon by body of lawless scoundrels,
and thrown into Jail, regardless of law and
common Justice. But this is only one of
the natural fruits of that rampant Black
Republican which has reared its head
among us. A man, if he happens 10 belong
