~ The paroled rel 81 prisoner

sg The paroled relel prisoners
at Memphis, came near being MUIR
dered by the colored soldiers on duty.
A plot for this purpose was discov-
cred just in time to prevent one of
those scenes of carnage, which appal
the stronge't heart. The negroes, in
their infuriated efforts to obtain ac-
cess to the rebels, lost some 20 killed
and wounded. 1t was designed to
take wholesale revenge for the Fort
Pillow massacre, in which Forrest
treated the colored soldiers with
great cruelty.

SHERIDAN GOING TO TEXAS

General Sheridan has been as
signed to the command of all the
forces west of the Mississippi. A
force will be Immediately sent tc
Texas, to clear out the debris of the
rebellion in that section.
A portion of his Staff passed Gal
lipolis on board the Sherman on
Monday last en-route for Texas. A
detachment of his men were on board
the Ohio No. 8, on Tuesday. We
are of opinion Kirby Smith will hear
thunder in that direction shortly.

Hung.

We published in our last issue, ss &C.
count of several robberies committed rs.
Gently near Council Bluffs; all supposed
to have been the work Of a man giving
his name IS William Lacy. He was Or.
rested, as we stated. and has since been
very summsrily disposed of by the good
people of Council Bluffs. as we learn from
the Nonpareil of this morning. /. says:
The highwayman, of whom we gave
an account the other day. was hung on
last Saturday from q willow tree, on The
bank of the little Indian Creek, in the
upper part of town. His name was
William Lacy. He committed both the
high way robberies we mentioned last
week-which were fully proved, and
which he acknowledged. The execution
ers claim to have acted under Adjutsn.
General Bakers order concerning gusr-
rillas. Lacy had long been in bis occu:
patton Of thief and robber in Utah and
other Western Territories. lie was sbou!
thirty years old. His body was left hang.
ing till near noon of yesterday. He is
reported to have met death like Stole
without much concern. We do not
approve of this mode of punishment; bu!
the State Courts are responsible, they
have made justice a lie. and have ceased
to punish felonies and high miseemsan.
ors, with an occasional exception. We
do not see the wisdom offurther comment,
at the present time. The remains Of Lacy
were decently buried in the city cemetery.

The following extracts from the 'esti'

AN agent Of the Treasury Department

them that the Government will puchase

10 the Union. He held that true wisdom
demanded suffrage for the negro. The
citizsns maintained that as the blacks
outnumbered the whites. they would elect
negro Governors. Mayors, aud so on
Mr.. Chase replied by citing the remarks
of Tacitus. that when the plebeians have
power. they always elect patricians to re-
present them, and argued that in Demo
cratic cohntry. the ballot-box should be
open to all. This does not sound like
an unauthorized exposition. .

NEGRO SuFFRAGE.-If the future rela-
tions of the Southern States are to be de-
cided by the ballot-box. Government
will. in self-defense, be compelled to make
some tests for voters. And it will hard
ly be the part of wisdom to put vote in
the hands of subiugsted traitor. whose
efforts have been directed to the over
throw of the Union. who has tonight in
the ranks of its enemies, and who only
submitted when compelled by the last
arguments Of force, while denying the
same prerogative to an intelligent patriot,
who was faithful to our cause in its hours
of bitterest trial, and at the hazard ol
his own life, stood forth in its defense
Parson Brownlow. OF Tennessee. has
never been considered a negro worship
per; but be says in recent letter, that be
"would rather trust the poorest black
now in Tennessee with vote, than q
miserable, canting hypocrite of rebel,
who has sneaked back into the Union
without taking time to wash the stain Ol
loyal blood off his hands," Gov. Brown.
low is intimate with the views of Presi.
dent johnson. and probably to some ex'
tent reflects them. The President is un.
derstood to maintain that this whole
question must finally be left for settlement
by the States, after their position has beer
determined. We must learn to look al
these matters as they will probably pre-.
sent themselves for future decision. and
discuss them without bitterness.

us. It generally gets here about ten days
after date, rather worse for wear, and
with the wrapper written over with such
stuff as the following: "Send this to
Kansas :" "This belongs to Kansas :"
{" Let me go to Kansas" "Don't send
this back any more" Why don't You
let this 60 on through to Kansas ?" and
much more of the same sort, with atten-

corner between Missouri and Iowa, in
each Of which States they have White

to escape from the charmed region.
