in Chicago, Illinois. The mails to hand supply
some additional particulars, showing how the
''provisions of the Constitution are executed in
the State where the President elect resides. We
quote from the Chicago Democrat, Republican
journal:
Last evening" at about seven o'clock, the citizens

were alarmed by the cries of a woman-proceedng
from young colored woman, who was struggling
in the grasp of two athletic men, who were endea-

the spot, and the woman was quickly extricated
from the grasp OF her captors.
Under these circumstances, the police thought it
best to convey both parties to the lock up and they
were accordingly taken to the armorv, followed by
a constantly increasing crowd. The news seemed
to spread like wildfre. Runners proceeded rapidly
through the streets where colored people most do
live, crying "Kidnappers Kidnappers! Kidnap-

armed with bludgeons pistols and knives, and
rushed to the armory. When our reporter arrived
there, he found about thousand colored people,
men and women, and few white folks scattered
through the crowd.

they reached the street. when she made the outcries
which resulted as above detailed.
In the meantime the excitement at the armory
increased rapidly. 1t was supposed that the Mayor,
who was out of town, would return at nine o'clock,
and until then the crowd waited very patiently, APP
