ELOPEMENT OF A WHITE " OMAN WITH
A NEGRo.-On Monday night, the , / i3lst-.
SAYS the Somerset Oei10cFat. a daughter OF
Mr. William Griffith. of Jenner township, in
this county, aged about II years, elopet:
with a full blooded negro. black as Erebus.
Some time after night Miss Griffith slipped
out from her fathers house, met the negro
on the road, according to previous arrange
ment, and the same night walkel t. JOHNS
town. IS miles distant, with ii view OF TAX
ing the morning train for Harrisburg, where
they were to be married. Mr.. Griffith, dis
covering the absence of the parties, and sus
pecting their intentions, proceeded forthwith
to Stovstown, the nearest telegraph oiicc,
and there tclegraphed to the police at Johns
town to arrest them on their arrival. which
was accordingly done. Miss Griffith was
taken to her rfiather's house and the negro was,
on the 4th inst, committed to the Jail of this
county to await his trial at court which Will
amount simply to nothing, as 1t IS no legal
offence, but purely a matter of taste and
smell. This negro has been in the employ of
Mr. Griffith for some time During the last
winter he frequently took this daughter and
Mrs Griffith and other female members OF
the family sleigh-riding. He was on a per-
feet equality with the family-ate at the same
table, slept under the same roof, and enjoyed
all the ri .thts and privileges that A[r. Grtiths
children did.
Mr.. Griffith is one of the original aboli-
tionists of the country, has voted that ticket
for the last % years to our certain knowledge
and has advocated the cause of negro equal
ity in Jealous manner. He often said be-
fore his family that negro was plenty good
enough for poor white girl and similar ex-
pressions showing the bias of bis mind. The
daughter, having confidence in her father.
imbibed his teachings, and concluded to act
upon them. She was perfectly innocent, and
no blame should be attached to her.
