of age, with the design to outrage
herperson. Her father, an aged man,
came TO her assistance, when these
fiends seized bin, and threatened lis

a revolver pointed at bis head, ne

of their vilIsinous purpose upon the

Let The People Read.

The following is the section OF h,
act Of Congress Of 1895, which
President Lincoln is using for the
su5version Of our free Institutions:
SEC. 2 find be it further enacted,
That whenever the laws OF the Uni
led States shall be opposed or the
execution thereof be obstfucted in
any Stale by combinations too power
iul 10 be suppressed by the ordinary
course Of judicial proceedings, or by
the powers vested in the Marshal by
this act, it shall be lawful for the
President of the United States 20
call forth the militia of such State,
or any other State or States, AS may
be necessary TO suppress such combl
nations. aud to cause the laws to be
duly executed, and the use Of nil
tin to be Called forth may be eontin
d, if necessary, until the expira
Non OF thirty days after the CON
Ihencement of tie then next session
Vi Congress"
Now, is it not lpabls plain, ask
the Petersburg Express, that th'
power conferred by this section 0
the law upon the Government, vas #
be exercised only through the Fed
crak Courts and civil officers? Il
certainly did not contemplate a cas-
in which there we're no such court
and officers in the State wherein th
.'obs ructions" aud combinations
existed. Could usurpation be NOR
gross for purpose more fagran
than this assumption of aathorit
by President Lincoln, under the pre-
text OF the above section of the Law
for the purpose Of establishing Mi
itary tyranny over the land.
