A riot took place at Akron a few days
since caused by the forcible ejectment OF q
soldiers wife from 8 room rented for her
by her husband. A number of returned
soldiers cleaned out the landlord, who had
reoccupied the room, and broke in pieces
the entire furniture of the room. How
this proceeding afforded any assistance to
the ejscted woman we are at loss to discover.
On the other hand, it appears to lave been
a gross violation of the law, for which
there can be no excuse.

Tale Of Rebel CrueItv.


Washington Correspondents New York Tribune. ,
Among the visitors at the Freedmen,s
Bureau to day soliciting relief was a f~ootless
negro, who, tired and weary with shutting
over the dusty pavements under q broii1
ing sun, dragged his shorn limbs. up the
stone steps leading to the Office of Colonel
TsggSrt, where he sat patiently on his
knees waiting for an audience. The story
told by this unfortunate negro almost sur
passes belief, were it not that its authentic.
ity is established beyond q doubt by cor.
roborstive evidences. His story in substance
is as follows:
just previous TO the breaking out of tbs
war, he was employed by q DR.. Lee, liv-
ing near Washington, in Maryland, who
compensated him for his services, he being
q free man. In 1859 the negro who was
persuaded by the Doctor TO accompany
him to Georgia, from which State he sfter.
ward removed to Tennessee, where he kept
the Knoxville Hotel. In the town of that
name in 1853, this same DR.. Lee hired
the negro to q Captain N. Cannon, a
Qqsrtermsstsr in the Confederate States
Army at JOnesborougb. Here he wa en-
ployed for eight or ten months, when he
attempted TO escape to our lines, in doing
which he was spprehended snd returned
to Captain g. who Immediately took him
in person to q DR.. Williams, in charge of
the General hospital at that place, and or
dered him (Dr. W. to smputate the leg of
the I'D niger" to prevent him from
running away. In compliance with the
demand his Ices we're that night amputat-
ed just above the ankles, and his legs left
undressed by the surgeon. In the morn
ing, DIR. W. on visiting the hospital, found
the negro still alive, and after expressing
his surprise with an oath said he had in
tended to kill him. He then ordered the
negro to the house of an old slave woman,
where he was found recovering from the
amputstion on the entry Of our troops.
He will probably be sent to the Freed.
mems village at Arlington.

The anniversary Of the abolition of sla-
very in las West Indies has always been
celebrated by the free eolOred people of
the North as 8 day of jubilee and thanks
giving. The tbirty-6rst anniversary,
which transpired on Tuesday last, has call
ed forth q celebration eyen more general
than ever, because during the past year
the SUCCESS of the Union arms has carried
into practical effect the Emancipation
Proclamation of President Lincoln, and
given actual liberty to the slave. The day
has been celebrated throughout the coun-
try, and in New York with especial enth1-
siasm-snd ecLet. New York dAilies give
three column reports Of the proceedings,
which consisted of religious exercises at
LefFerts Park, Brooklyn, conducted by the
Rev. Mr.. Jones, Rev. Nh. Pennington, and
Rev. Mr.. Dixon, at which the Emancips
ton Proclamation was read, and addresses
made to an audience numbering two or
three thousand, and also of O picnic At
Myrtle Avenue Park, which was attended
very much more largely, and addressed
by Prof, William H. Day, and Fred.
Douglas. The speech of Mr.. Day, which
is reported in ful by the Herald, Times
and Tribune is an extended review of the
history of anti slavery movements in Great
Britain and America, and a refuLstion of
the charge that emancipation in the West
Indies has been harmful. We quote q
single stirring passage, reserving the
privilege of making further extracts at
q future times

The New York papers speak in san
guine terms of the grain and grass corps
IN that State, but give rather. a gloomy
account Of thei fruit crop. They assert
that genial a. the weather has been, the
fruit crop does not promise very wen. For
strawberries it was most fsvorabe-that
fruit was abundant and the berries uneon-
monty large. Tbs raspberries had a short
and not abundant season. OF cherries
there were very few. The plums are
dropping from the trees, pierced by the
wesvil, which seems to abound this season
to an extraordinary degree Pears are
few, and sre dropping unripened frem the
trees. In these the curcuho have been un-
commonly busy, and some kinds which DO
not often fail to be perfect in their form,
are this summer bHghted and cracking
open. Tbs apple orchards are less pro-
ductiEs than ususl and in some places to
the north show scarcely any.

Among English election terms, Hplump-
ing is one not readily understood here.
Ii was said that Baron Rothschild had
asked the Jewish vote to aplump" for him.
This is to vote for one candidate where
several are on a ticket, in order that the
candidate may come out with 8 large vote.
The Boston Traveller explains the use of
the word by the following r~eferencea to
one of she most celebrated of Parlismen-
tary contests-the Westminster election
of 1886. 1t says:
Westminster had two members, and the
ministerial candidates were Lord Hood and
Sir Cecil Wray, and Charles james Fox
was the candidate of the opposition.
Fox's only chance of success lay in the
hope that some of the voters would
"plump' for him, that is, would vote for
him alone, and 30 place him at least
second on the list. At first, snd until to-
ward the close of the electiOn-which
lasted almost seven Weeks-Hood stood at
the head of the poll, Wrsy second and
Fox last. The chief Nhig ladies then
took the field, and ~canvsssed SO effectuslly
in Fox's behalf that when the poll closed
he was 235 votes ahesd of Wrsy. The
Tory writers made the Duchess of De-
vonShire say that she had given ten kisses
for 8 plumper for Fox. Men voted for
Fox and for him alone, who had intended
TO vote for both the Tory candidates.
Not 5nly did they vote for him, but they
Hplumped for him." which was doing him
8 double favor. Had they voted for him
and Wrsy, their votes would have bal
snced themselves, and the relative position
of the two candidates have remained un-
changed; and by Withholding their votes
from Aoodthey didsOmething toward secur-
ing for Fox the chsDGsof coming in at the
brad of the poll, which would have been a
great thing for him at that time. persecu-
ted as he was by the Court and savsgely
attacked by the tories, who were aided by
the snobs of the middle class. Had a lew
hundred more "plumped" for Fox, be
would have got ahead of Lord Hood, and
his victory would have been complete.
The vote WIS: For Hood, 6 694; for Fox,
$3.50, and for Wrsy, &, 1898. Some persons
voted for both Fox and Hood.

tiers were excluded on the ground of hsving
lost their residence by reason of their alb.
sence as soldiers in the United States army

ceptions, all of the officers elected at said
municipal election have been prominent
and conspicuous in insugurating and sus-
tainingI the rebellion; and whereas the is
sue was distinctly made and openly avoWed
at said election, as between those men who
had aided and sbetied in the war against
the United States authority, and those. who
had, with their lives, defended the flag Of
our country: therefore, justice to the thous.
