Murder at Lake Station.

We have a statement from Many Sub

that on Sunday last Mr.. T. W. Lacey,
Of Smith county, was brutality murdered
near Lake Station by freedman, named
Mark Bnrnes, formerly the slave of Mat

particulars, as we gather them, it appears
that this black seoundrel, some time
since, violated the person Of white wo-
man, fed the county, and went 10 KEN
per, where he was lately arrested by La
cey and Burnes, with view TO handing
him over 10 the civil authorities for trial
When near Lake Station, however, he
found an opportunity for attacking his
capiors, and in 4 short time dispatched
Mr. Lacey by breaking in his skull
with a large cudgel, and after inAict-
ing several severe blows upon young
Burnes, effected his escape, and IL still

TO WHOM DIsL0YAL

The Cincinnati Enquirer, though al
times led to imprudencies that rather
niurs than benefit the cause of recon-
citation, is the most pointed of all the
public journals. For example, it says
The people of the South are disloyal.
To whom are they disloyal? Are they
disloyal to themselves 7 There is no APP
pearance Of e Disloyal to each other 7
BY no means. Disloyal to their own in
stitdtions The proof of such disloyalty
is entirely wanting. Disloyal to the
General Government? Since the con-
flict of arms came to an end, there are
no acts to justify such superstition;
Disloyal in sentiment Why should
they be loyal in sentiment to a
Government which is over, but not
of them whose manifestations in
their sight are those of power at once
arbitrary and irresponsible !? If the peo-
pie of the South were disposed to acts Of
disloyalty to the Government, they would
have no inclination to become a part OF
it. The people of the South proiessed a
desire TO separate themselves from those
of the North in the matter of government;
and if we did not before believe they were
sincere, we have reason TO believe 1t
now. They will be slow to cherish aiiec-
ton for those who thwarted them in their
wishes and the absence of this affection
is counted as disloyaity
And this, in reference to the report of
the Reconstru3on Committee
The committee treat the conquest as
conclusive of questions of right. We con-
quered the people Of the South; there
fore, our right 10 govern them according
to our own will is absolute. Had the
people of the thirteen colonies been over
come BY the arms of Great Britain, this
according to the doctrines Of the com
mittee-wonld have sanctioned all past,
and justified all future misrule. 1t
would have extinguished the native right
of free agency in the people, not only in
respect to their National relations, but
to the domestic policy, and lett them in
the condlion of human entities, per-
haps, but of political nOn-entities.

A LITTLE QUARREL.

A city Of Mexico letter says: =" 1t is
rumored that MAX and the amiable CAR
LoTTA have had a little quarrel 1t
seems that Max, after dinner one day,
took CARLorTA aside, and, after telling
her she was just the kindest little wo-
man in the world, asked her to lend him
a trihing amount Of two or three hun
dred thousand dollars out of her own
purse This delicate insinuaiion the
dear little CARLoTTA listened to with
great good humor, and then, patting
MAX on the cheek, said, No you don't,
and she did not lend it to him. Then
MAX, taking umbrage, and friend or
two, went to Cuernavaca This little
piece Of scandal is going the rounds, and
for effect, as we can plainly see. :"
