Tho Jsld gcship.

Tho Judgcship.
Our radical contemporaries are consider
ably mixed up, scoldy toward one another
and almost bitter on the question of the
Judgeship. The Journal, the Nens, the
Register, the Record, the Republican, the
Leader are all pitching in. The Leader is
disposed to he as lively as bag Of Aeas
toward its exchanges; the very pretty
irony which it indulgcs in toward the
TINES is appreciated as q sample of
Georges fine writing. We thought Milo
was good lawyer and an honest man, and,
so thinking, we commended him, but if his
political friends keep working at his char
acter it is doubtful if he has any left by
the time the convention comes off; twould
seem there is SO little character among the
Republican leaders of the District that a
confederate movement is making by them
to rob Miro of his, in order, probably, for
distribution among themselves or for the
purpose Of reducing him to their own
nude state in that regard. 1t is not our

Murder.

AVA uANVIs
We learn from railroad men WHO came
from Medina, this morning, that there was
great excitement in that village arising
from report that Presbyterian clergy
man, named Lindsey, residing d mile
south of the village, yesterday whipped his
son, three years old, so severely that he
died two hours subsequently, because he
would not say his prayers. Report adds
that the child's fingers were broken by the
blows administered. We did not tt first
believe the story, but we have since learn
ed by telegraph that the minister was two
hours whipping the child with heavy rod
and that the child died from the injunes-
Lindsey had not been arrested when we
received the dispatch, but an officer from
Albion has gone to take him into custody
For the sake of common humanity we hopc
the story is exaggerated, ana it may be
possible that it is.
Since writing the above we have receiv-
ed by special telegraph, the statement Of
Mr.. Linsley, the father of the child, made
to a jury summoned by Coroner Chambes-
lain: On the 18th of June the child disc
beyed his step-mother, and l commenced
correcting him, using shinglc for the pur-
pose, and continued to chastise him for
more than t,ro hours, when the child com
menced to show signs of debility, and L
ceased to punish him and laid him on a
couch, and called my wife. When she
saw the child she said he was dying, and
before II o'cloc!, he was dead.
The coroner's jury returned verdict
yesterday ''that death resulted from chas-
tisement by the father"
| 1t will be seen that the whipping was
given on the 18th inst, instead of yestel-
day, and that common report did not in
this instance ovcrstate the facts in the case.
A child three years old whipped to death
| by its father because it would not or could
not say its prayers! Is it possible, and OF
all other persons, that clergyman should
be guilty of such a piece Of inhumanhy p
What should be his punishment? Tho
condemnation of the public is not enough.
The law should take firm hold of hin and
deal out justice to him with an unsrarinc
hand. A cold blooded murder---it can be
called nothing less-should not 60 ulpun.

either. The Baptists, children, teachers
and parents, directed by Supt BARRON,
marshalled by Bass and escorted Ivy the

sher' made brief address the children
had fun rambling over hills and among
groves there was plenty to eat, pure
spring water to drink, and at an early hour
most of the happy participants were at
home. This was on Friday.
On Saturday, the Methodist people did
the same thing, except that they took a
different direction. The Ferry Steamer
-1lamatee was literally rendered to them
by Capt. Bisbee for trip up the river, 4
miles, to Wirt's Landing. At 10, the pro-
cession marshalled by G. S. c. Scott, aided
by hosts Of others and preceded by the
Cornet Band took passage. The boat was
well tagged; the band played some beau
tiful airs the precious freight left our
shores; the landing was reached Supt.
Hoisington, awake to the joys of children,
turned all hands loose in the groves, bluffs
and coulces of this grand old river; the
children and their parents grew tired; din
ner was announced and after '!more fun
the boat recalled and conveyed all to their
homes. No accident in either expedition
occurred. A very grateful sense of obi
cation is felt by the participants toward
the Band the Bus owners and the Ferry
owners
