Mob Law in Evansville Indiana.

The two negro brutes, who so fendishly NAL
treated a white woman on Sunday, fearfully ex-
plated their crime yesterday afternoon 4
Early yesterday morning crowd of excited
people commenced collecting around The court
house and jail, demanding that the prisoners
be delivered up to them. The demand was re-
fused, of course, and at noon the crowd disper-
sed. and twas hoped that better counsels would
prevail, and that the guilty wretches would be
left to the due course ofthe law.
But, after noon, the crowd rssembled again
and the excitement had evidently increased,
and continued to increase until about 81
o'clock, when the front door of the Jail building
was broken open with sledge hammer and
the crowd rushed into the Jail How they reach
ed the prisoners we did not learn, but they
were soon dragged forth into the streets, beaten
down with clubs and shot
After they were dead, they were taken up and
hanged to lamp post on the corner of the
street, where they were hanging at late hour
in the evening. They were ultimately, we learn,
taken down and buried
1t was the first scene of the kind ever enact
ed in Evansville, and, for the fair fame of the
city, we hope it will be the last.
Every one exeerates the abominable and bru-
tai crime committed by the negroes, but mob
law is dangerous remedy fer evils of this or
any kind, and all good citizens deplore to resort
to it; and we hope this fearful and summary
punishment will prove such warning that we
shall never again hear of such a crime in our
midst

UNFULFILLeD EXPECTATIONS.

The sympathizers with assassination, who
howl over the execution of Mrs Surratt, have
had much to say about our mourning the rep
probation of the whole civilized world by the
execution of a woman, and that woman con-
demned by a military tribunal. The report
of the fate of the conspirators has reached Eu-
rope, and the sentiments of the European press
on the subject begin to come back to u.s. So
far the admirers of modern Thugism find but
little consolation from this source. The London
1EmeS which is not overburdened with love
for cur Government, says: .- .-.-.f
1t was hardly doubted, we believe, by any
competent person in America, that the charge
Of conspiracy had been brought home to all the
prisoners; the question was rather as to the var
rious degree of their guilt and the proper ap-
portionment Of punishment. 1t appears that
the court with the Presidents approval, has di-
vided them into three classes. Payne Harreld,
Atzeroth, and Mrs. Surratt have been placed in
the first of these, and were to be hung at Wash
ington on the 7th inst DR.. Mudd, Arnold, and
O'Laughlin constituted the second class and
were to be imprisoned for life with hard labor;
while Spangler was to be imprisoned for six
years, with hard labor, in Albany Penitentiary
Against the severity of these sentences not word
can be said. The lives of Booth and his fellow
conspirators were most Justly forfeited. Hu-
man Judges can recognize no excuse for assas-
sinatiOn. If the tyrannicide can ever be lusti-
fed as an appeal to higher law, it must be
justified before higher tribunal than any
earthly Judgment seat

A WORD TO DEMOCRArs.

4
| A political campaign for State and county Of
ficers is about opening, and we ask intelligent
men to look at the record of the "Copperhead"
party and after careful examination of it, then
to decide whether anything but blind, stubborn
prejudice or assinine willingness to be led
by political demagogues, can induce them to
again support the candidates they have OF may
nominate.
| party that can show only broken promises
and false prophecies in the past must have a
cheek Of brass 10 ask the people to intrust the
affairs of Government in its hands The Cop
perhead stands exactly in this position. What
have been the prophecies? Look at the record
| They prOphesied-
lst. Thatthe South never could be conquered
| The South is conquered.
| 3D. That the Emancipation Proclamation
would prolong the war, and make the triumph
of the South certain
| Without it the war would not now be ended
aud Southern men acknowledge that il was the
severest blow their cause received
Sd. That the arming of negroes would be ia
tai to our success.
The addition of 100000 negroes to the militia
ry power Of the Government turned the scale in
our favor, and allowed 300 00U whten1en to stay
at home.
4th That the negroes would not fight.
On every battle field they displayed good sol
dierly qualities and fought bravely for coun-
try that has always oppressed them.
5th That Greenbacks would be so entirely
worthless, that the boys would not pick them
off the streets.
They will now buy anything any leading cop
perhead owns.E'principles' and all,-and
are sought after with great eagerness by that
class. -ei
9th That the reelection of Abraham Lincoln
would prolong the war four years
1t closed IT in six months.
7th That the high toned Southern Chvalry
would never submit to Federal rule.
They are crawling like whipped dogs at the
feet Of Federal authorities, begging for pardon.
And so forth. The only prophecy they ever
made that was fulfilled was that Abraham Lin
coin would not live out his second four years
they probably knew whereof they spoke in that
matter. rsE
Can any honest man follow an organization
whose leaders have been deliberately, purpose
ly systematically and persistently misleading
the people for their own selfish ends? If their
advice had been followed, the Confederacy
would have conquered US, and their prophecies
would have come true-we would have been ru-
ined. Fortunately, they have been miserable
minority for four years-they will continue to
be foreyermore. s-... - rs..
