ROUssAEAU, THE RUFFIAN.

Last week Mr.. Grinnell, of Iowa,
madea speech in Congress, in which he
was very severe upon Gen. Rousseau, of
Kentucky After the House had ad-
journed, a few days after this speech,
Rousseau waylaid Gfinnell, and struck
him several blows with a cane, breaking
the cane. Grinnell offered no resist
ance, Rousseau is pro-slavery ruiliaH
of the Brooks style. Every rebel paper
is applauding the cowardly rufian.
The House has ordered an investigation,
and appointed committee of Ave, who
will make report in few days.
The Constitution of the United
States, Art. l, Sec. 6, provides that for
any speech or debate in either House,
the members shall not be questioned in
any other place. If the House does
not expel Rousseau for this violation of
the Constitution, and the privileges of
members of the House, we hope the
members of the House may be caned
and kicked into self respect.

LET us UNDERSTAND EACH
OTHER,

Whenan individual Or party reSortsto
Misrepresentation, it is an evidence that
it's cause is bad one, and cannot stand
the test of truth and sound argument.
We have always contended that the late
pro-slavery rebellion was the act of the
Democratic party. Many honest Dem
ocrats were and are still, bitterly opposed
to the rebellion, and claim that their par
ty is as loyal as the Union party, This
is their great mistake, The Cincinnati
Enquirer is perhaps one of the ablest
papers of the party in the United States.
In recent editorial it claimed that the
rebellion was justifable, and that JEFF
ierson Davis had committed no wrong.
We will publish this hereafter, and make
some comments thereon. We have
only room this week for the following,
which wo take from the same paper:
The tone Of the Northern press NJ east of that
portion Of the press which reflects the views of
| the committee, aud Of those by whom II was ap-
pointed, has been one Of unnlitlgated insoence +.
the lusolence OF ill-gotcn power and of unsatshed
hatred. II has not been able To forgive the South
for having the argument upon lis side and Its
manners have been those Of q rulilan whose sense
of the. fact that he hiss beaten his opponent Is
cmhlttbred by The recollection that the principle
against which he fought stands NJ hrny as ever.
There you have it, The South has
the argument on its side. That is, the
South was right Again the principle
against which the North fought stands
as firmly as ever That is, the prin-
ciple of slavery and secession is not des-
troyed, but stands as firmly as ever.
Much has been said about the South
being completely conquered, aud slavery
and secession being forever abandoned,
The Cincinnati Enquirer and the Dem
ocratic party do not think so, Only let
that party get the power, and slavery
will at once be re-established by law
and secession will be an accomplished
fact. There cannot be the least doubt
about this matter
What do our Democratic friends whC
are honestly opposed to secession thinl
oiathis matter7 Do we misrepresen
the principles of the party' If so, will

How MIR. Lincoln Signed Iho

The Rochester Express relates the followingas
the circumstances attending Mr. Llncons sigma
ture to the Emancipation Proclamation, and says
that II has not before been published. The large
roll containing that document was taken to Mr..
Lincoln at noon on the lst day of January, 1868,
BY Secretary Seward and his son Frederick. As 1t
lay unroed before him, Mr.. Lincoln took pen,
dipped 1t IN ink, moved his hand and dropped the
pen. After little hesitation he again took up
the pen and went thro' the same movement as be-
fore. Mr.. Lincoln then turned to Mr.. Seward
and said: ~ have been shaking hands since nine
o'clock this morning, and my right arm Is almost
paralyzed. II my name ever goes into history 1t
will be for this act and my whole soul Is In 1t. II

Especial Dispatch to the Chicago Times
ATLANTA, GA, May 20.
most outrageous rape was perpctratcd in
SumpW county, a short time ago. Mrs GeSham,
II highly respectable and intelligent lady, started TO
q neiphbOr's house. half mile distant, When
about half way, negro Of notoriousy bad char
acter, met her. and drawing u knife and pistol,
forced her to 20 several miles into dense swamp,
where she was detained for thirty lBurs, aud
brutay outraged. The particulars are horrible.
At the end Of two days and nights the frantic
woman was released by the negro, who threatened
her with death, If 1t were ten years hence, II she
exposed him. After wandering several hours In
the woods she came TO house, rvarly exhausted,
and her mind nearly gone. She was taken home,
and the ordeal through which she had passed re-
vealed 70 her husband. The whole neighberhood
was soon out in search Of the negro, but tailed to
find him, In a day or two, however, he returned
and was arrested and taken to Americus TOR trial.
The lady recognized him, aud the husband, unable
TO restrain himself rushed upon the sCoundre and
with three well directed shots was reveneed for
his wlies dlshonor. Strange 70 say, Mr.. Gresham
was Immediately arrested by the authorities, and
required TO give bonds In the sum Of $40 900 for
his appearance at the next term of the court.
Very strange indeed Here was
prisoner, in the hands of the law, most
foully murdered, by man who had no
evidence of his guilt except the story
told by his wife, which might have been
either true or false, "Strarge to say"
that the murderer should be arrested
and held to bail to answer for his crime.
White men have been rayisting color
ed women by the ten thousand for the
past fifty years in the South, and to per-
petuate this outrage million of traitors
had the nation by the throat for four
years, and yet the Democratic party
claims that these traitors were right, and
have tho argument on their side
When one poor negro, made brutal by
slavery, is accused of doing what tens OF
thousands Of white Democrats have
been doing every day and every night,
he is murdered while prisoner In the
hands of the law, and when his nur-
derer is held to- answer, the Democrats
think il strange, Our Democratic
friends should read the fable where q
certain lawyer and certain farmer had
a little talk about bull and an OK.
Then they could see the point in the
case.
