An Abolition Element.

The PhiladelphiaPress indorses VIM Lloyd
Garrison for supporting Abraham Lincoln as
the next candidate for the Presidency, and
declares that Garrison is man of "clear fore
sight" 1t quotes the following from Garris-
on's letter with appreciation:
81 am persuaded that the rejection of Abra
ham Lincoln would b, injurious to abroad
among the friends of freedom; and | fear that
it would bring the pro slavery Democratic
party into power. I see that my friend Til.
ton of the New York Independent is inclined
to go for Chase, and that, Greedy, iu the last
number of the same paper, openly repudiatcs
can house is in danger of fatal division.

Everybody for Lincoln.

1t is amusing to see accounts of meetings of
little Office holders and official pap suckers,
too lazy or Incorporate to obtain living by
honest labor, endorsing Lincoln and spouting
much patriotism on street corners. Their in
tense love of the President as SO earnestly ex-
hibited reminds US of little story, as Old Abe
says.

How it Works.

We clip the following from the Newark,
Ohio, AdUocate of Friday:
Within the last two weeks fifty thousand
dollars have been Withdrawn from the tax du-
plicate of Licking county by ten or dozen
of our citizens who have started one of Chase's
banks at Granville. In order to escape State
county, town and township taxation on your
porperty, all you have to do is to invest your
means in Government bonds. That's what
these bankers have DONE They are paid in
terest in gold (equal to ten per cent, and yet
are made a privileged class free from taxes!-
Voters, how do you like it?

a Wise Juryman.

The District Court in one of our Western
Counties was in session last summer, and after
the first days business was over, lawyers and
others were sitting out before the hotel, when
a lank, unsophisticated eountryman came up,
and unceremoniously made himself one of 'em,
and remarked:

Brutal Murder.
From the Madison (Ind )Courier ]


Thomas Morgan and two of his brothers.
all three members of Capt. Geo. Mitchell'S
cavalry company, were at mudlick, in this
county, recently, on a-spree While splur-
ging about the burg, quiet, unoffendng Ger
man, named William Grochier, came along the
road with his team. The Morgans halted him
and told him (falsely of course) that they were
under order to impress all horses for govern
ment service. He demonstrated but they re-
fused to listen. One Of them proceeded TO
unhitch the animals from the vehicle, but
Grochier picked up club and drove him off,
Another then tried and was similarly prevent
ed The ethird-Thomas-the undertook it
at the same time drawing his revolver and
threatening if Grochier resisted to kill him.
Grochier made at him with the club, and sure
enough the william fired. The shot falling
short Morgan fred a second time which PEN
etrated the bowels of the unfortunate man
near the navel.
Mr. Grochier was not dead late Sunday af-
ternoon, but our informant states that no
hopes can be had of his recovery and indeed
the probability is that he is dead by this time

course of the next two days, not only Smith,
but the representatives of dozen other stores
which had been robbed, were there. Smith
found nearly all of his lost silks, many othe;s
identified the whole or part of theirs, while
much remained that was not claimed by any
one.
There were more than dozen taken at the
saloon, most of whom were known to the DO
lice; the matter was vigorously prosecuted,
and believe more than half were duly con-
victed and sentenced in New York.
But what become of my twin brother joe,
who had unconscio1sly got these, his particu-
lar friends, into trouble
The conclusion eff the yslSole matter can be
told brifiy.
Joe was induced to accompany me so far as
Buffalo my return home, where l intro
duced him to my friend Deputy Crane, who
Immediately escorted him to the "City Hotel,'
with which [ had once made slight acquaint-
ance. Smith and the clerks recognized him
at once, volunteered to see that he had justice.
Deputy Crane, Smith, Jones and all my per-
sistent acquaintance month before, begged
a thousand pardons for their stupidity in think
ing l resem5led thief But more acceptable
was Smiths check for the promised reward,
and 1 was more than willing to forgive Depu-
ty Crane for it was owing to his bluud der that
much valuable property was returned to tie
rightful owners, many rascals made to suffer
the penalty of their crimes, and one honest
man handsomely paid for looking like rogue.

AChinese Crucifction.

The following account OF recent cruchc-
tion in China, interesting because of its re-
semblance to those mentioned in the Scripture
is by Mr.. Jones, of Annoy who Witnessed the
execution on the 2Sth Of October:
The victim was well known theft, whose
principle offence was that of stealing young
girls and selling them for prostitutes.
The cross was of the Latin form, the foot
being inserted in stout plank, and the Grim
inal, standing on the board, had nails driven
through his feet. his hands stretched and
amp nailed to the crossbeam. His legs were
fastened to the cross with an ircn chain and
his arms bouLd with cords and on the cord
round his waist, was inserted piece of wood
on which was written his name and offence;
a similar piece on his right arm contained his
sentence-namely to remain on the cross day
and night until he died; another on his left
arm had the name of the judge with his titles
and officers. The criminal was nailed to the
cross inside the Yamun in the presence of
the magistrate, and then carried by four cool
les TO one of the prime pie thoroughfares lead
ing from the city, where he was left during
the dag, but removed at night inside the pris-
an for faar of some attempting to rescue him,
and again carried forth at daylight in charge
of two soldiers. II was crucifed at noon on
Wednesday, and Mr.. Jones conversed with
him at five in the evening. He complained
of pain in the chest and thirst. On Thurs
day he slept for some hours, when the cross
WIS lain down within the goal compound No
one was allowed to supply him with food
drink, and during the day there was quite a.
fair in front of the cross, people being attract
e ] from distance and the sweetmeat vend-
ers driving large trade. On Saturday he
was stirafve when the Taotal was appealed to by
a oreighner to put end to the wretches suffer
ings and he Immediately gave orders that vim
egar should be admin tered, which he ex-
pected would produce immediate death; but
the result was otherwise, and at sunset, when
the cross was taken within the goal, two sol
diers with stout bamboos, broke both his legs
and then strangled him.
