Outrageous.


On Monday night last, an Indian,
accompanied by three squaws, were
procuring refreshments at ono of the
stands on the dock at the foot of Con
esee street, when party of ruifians
came up and offered one of the sqaws
humorous and gross insults. The In
dian in very respectful manner re-
quested them not TO modest her, when
for no other provocation, the whole
party pitched into him, knocked him
down, kicked him and otherwise NAL
treated him, leaving him, as they
thought, dead. Fortunately, however,
he revived, but two Of his ribs were
broken and his face cut in most
brutal manner. The dastardly viii
lains attempted to make their escape,
but three of them were finally arrest
cd by two persons claiming to be Of
ficers, who took them into saloon,
and, I'VE are told, fixed the matter up.
What was paid we do not know, but
If such outrages are to be perpetrated
in our streets at midday with impuni-
ty, it behoves every man to carry his
revolver ready for use. 1t would also
be a very fitting thing for our city
fatEhrs to ascertain who these men
are Who profess to act as policemen,
and further to ascertain by what au-
thority such desperate characters are
allowed to be released from arrest
without enquiry or trial. We are in
formed that this is no new practice,
and that for months the jail has been
as much under the control of police
men as Of the city.
We learn since writing the above,
that the Indian has died from the eff
fects of the injuries received. 1t now
remains to be seen whether murder
can be permitted in our public streets
and the murderers go unshipt Of JUS
tice.

Robbery.

The house of Mr.. Miller, near London
derry station, was entered about nine o'clock
one night, about week ago, by four men
representing themselves as Government
detectives, who said they had been sent to
arrest Miller and his two SONS, on the charge
of aiding and abetting the rebellion. They
placed the three men in room, stationed
one of their number in the door, pistol in
hand. to guard them, and then proceeded to
search the house, as they said, for treason
able letters and documents, Confederate
money and other evidence in support of the
charge upon which they had made the pre-
tended arrest. In this search they found
between five and six hundred dollars in
greenbacks, of which they took possession
in the name of the Government of the
United States, giving receipt for the
amount, signed "Capt. Walker" and stat
ing that il would be returned to Mr.. Miller
after his trial if he should not be found
guilty of the charges against him, but il he
should, of course the money would be con-
fiscated. They then stated that they did
not wish to disturb the family or deprive
them OF their nights rest, and would
retire and station guard around the
house until morning, cautioning the family
that if any one attempted to leave before
morning they would be shot, and directing
the arrested men 10 he ready 10 leave 1Or
Washington City by the first train next day.
They then took their departure, and, Of
course, have not since been seen in that re-
gion.
We notice by our exchanges that several
| other robberies have been committed in the
same way in different parts of the country
-ohe at London, Madison county, last
week. 1t would be well for people to be
prepared for such visitors and let them
know that arrests can be made by Others as
well as robbers.-Chillcothc Gazette.

Hon. Manning Stiers, who emigrated from
Hooking county to Missouri, few weeks
ago, met with a tragical death on the Sth
inst He was staying with some friends at
Warrensburg, John county, until he could
locate, and while walking along the public
road, two and half miles from that place,
in broad day light, two of those murderous
outlaws, which infest that war-ravaged
country. approached him on horseback, one
of whom shot him through the breast with
a revolver, killing him instantly, and then
robbed him of watch and small sum OF
money, and rode away. Two negroes who
were working in field near by saw the
deed committed, took the body out of the
road and conveyed it to Warrensburg,
where it was identified.
Mr.. Stiers was born in Guernsey county,
Ohio, April 18th, 1927, enligrated to Hook
ing county in 1887. He was elected Repre-
sentative from Hooking county in the Ohio
Legislature in 1853, and reelected in
1861, and was a useful and influential
member. He was strong Democrat,
and possessed more than an ordinary
share of intelligence. He was much re-
spected for his nigh moral character, regu-
lar habits, aud strict integrity. He was by
occupation farmer.
In the spring of 1868, Mr.. Stiers was mar
ried to Miss Minerva Fleming, an excellent
lady, of this county, who died in about a
year thereafter. His remains were brought
here. and on Tuesday last inferred by the
side of his wife in Forest Cemetery.-Circle-

An editorial under this caption Will be
found In THE STATESMAN this morning, re-
produced from The Neto York Tribune OF
the 18th inst, for which we ask an atten-
tive perusal. The point that should chal-
lenge special attention is the suggestion,
that If JEFF. DAVIS is tried on an indict-
ment for treason, he be so tried as to give
us positive adjudication of the assumed
right of State or States to withdraw from
the Union at pleasure, as also on their al
legged power to absolve their citizens from
their allegiance to the Federal Constitu-
tion." The question Of Secession has not
been definitely settled by any competent
judicial tribunal, and now that JEFF. DAVIS
furnishes the opportunity for such decision,
it should be embraced. The trial should be
the most searching possible--prosecuted
and defended alike by the ablest lawyers
in the country, before civil court whose
judgment will be received by the country
as entitled to weight by reason of its ability
and impartiality. 1fs rf .as.fg
So far as the question can be decided by
the military power, it has been settled that
Secession is impossible; but yet that has not
decided the right of Secession pro or
con, and despite the triumph Of our
arms the same contrariety of opin-
ion exists to-day as existed at the COM
mencement of the Rebellion, and it will
continue to exist until it receive the seal
of authoritative decision by competent,
impartial judicial tribunal. Had JEFF,
DAVIS succeeded in establishing Southern
Confederacy, that circumstance would not
of itself have vindicated the right OF Seces-
sion. 1t would have shown that, in con-
sequence ur skillful generalship, endurance
and other causes, he succeeded; and the
question of Secession would have remained
as much an open question as it had ever
been. Newspapers and political stumpers
have settled the matter to their own salts
faction, and, doubtless, to the satisfaction
OF their readers and their auditors, and
they may have settled it rightly; but the
great mass of Southern people were edu-
Gated to believe in the right of Secession,
and up to this hour there has not been rem
dered conclusive judicial decision, show
ing that that education is erroneous. The
Constitution very plainly states what treas
on is; but in this statement the term Seces-
sion is not embraced. The Court may de-
eide Secession to be treason-prcbably
will. The country, however, is entitled to
a clear decision on the subject. 1t is abso-
lutely necessary as the finishing stroke of
the Rebellion.

Judge Van Trump.

We notice in The Ohio Eagle, of last week,
a detailed report of the proceedings had in
the attempted impeachment of the Hon.
Judge Van Trump, Of this Judicial Dis
trict, who was so unceremoniously sum-
moned to appear before select committee
composed of members from both branches
of the Legislature, last month, while in the
midst of long term of court. We are
happy to state that the Judge came out like
sgold tried by the retiner's fire." and the
creature who sought his overthrow will
fall back into the regions of despair. He
doubtless thought that if he could success
fully impeach the Judge, he would forever
immortalize himself. The report contained
in The Eagle does not only annihilate the
prosecuting witness, but places his counsel,

WE understand that the recent decision
of Attorney General Speed, in regard to
paroled rebel soldiers returning to their
homes where they are in loyal States, has
been so far modified as to permit them to
return to States the rebel Legislatures of
which passed secession rdMances.-Chat-
tanoogd Gazette. at.a
Why on earth and all the rest Of the plan
cts and the asteroids are the families OF the
States whose Legislatures passed secession
ordinances permitted to receive their erring
ones home again, and the families of the
ever loyal States denied that privilege? ?
Are people to be punished for belonging to
loyal States ana rewarded for belonging to
disloyal ones? And is it the theory of the
Administration or the theory of the At6or-
ney-General that a secession ordinance,
passed by State Legislature, is aught else
than mere nonentity? If such an Ordi-
nance is simple nothing, why endow that
nothing with the power Of authorizing pa
rolled rebel prisoners to return to, the State

The Editor of The Ohio Farmer was in
our city few days ago and in his issue of
the 10th gives an account of it. To the sub
ject of politics he has devoted pai agraph
in which this occurs:
'The politicians at the Capital, whose
business it is to save the State once a
year, are just now busy discussing the ques-
tion of the next Governorship. Among
the Democracy the weight of testimony
appears to be in favor of Judge Thurman,
the author, we believe, of the celebrated
two hundred thousand send greeting
resolutions-on the Union side the race is a
mixed one. Gov. Brough, perhaps, has the
inside track-but various gentlemen, each
with star on his shoulder-(no bars, nor
leaves, nor eagles, have yet been named
nothing less than brigadier)-are urged
by their friends. In this list may be named
Major General Cox, Major General Steed-
man, Brigadier- General Leggett, Brigadier-
General Hayes"
The resolution, to which the editor of
The Farmer refers in the foregoing, does
not owe its paternity to Judge THURMAN.
We heard it spoken by Judge CARTER, of
Cincinnati, the night before the Conven-
tion met by which it was adopted, and saw
Hon. WIN. D. MORGAN put iton paper at the
request of several gentlemen present. and
Judge THURMAN was not among the num-
Der present.
