This will be great work, long work.
one that will test our patience, our
and our genuine regard for
the colored man as our brother; and
before it is we'll done, we suppose it
may test our faith in the equality OF
the human races, and the virtue OF
man.
Through the providence of God the
time has come when we can do all
our hearts move US to do, for those so
long held in bondage, with no laws,
and no Interpretation OF the laws by
the courts, to modest us, or to make
us afraid. We have looked for this
time and prayed for it and it has come,
though not altogether as we were ex-
pecting. Proclamations or laws or
Constitutions can do little more
These can never make the Freedmen
intelligent, virtuous, and happy citi-
| zens. The work that shall raise them
must be done by themselves, aided by
the kind hands of those that truly love
them. The results of the war hav'
. taken away the obstacles to this. Leg

ATRoCIoUs MURDER.-THe Victim
Burned to Ashes. A terrible murder,
accompanied by circumstances pecu-
liarly similar to those which were as
ISOLATED with a celebrated case in
Massachusetts, took place in Loneville,
Wayne County, Ohio, toward the close
Of last month. A local paper de-
scribes it as follows:
at appears that German by the
name of George klider, living about
three fourths of a mile from the above
named place, on farm belonging to
Mr.. T. HI. P. Duncan of Ottumwa has
been missing since the night of Feb
rua. Y %. Mr.. X. was a single man,
about thirty years of age, and lived
alone, the house in which he lived be-
ing about half mile back from the
road, and about the same distance
from any other dwelling. From the
subsequent conduct and contradictory
statements of a German neighbor by
the name of VIM. Hoogman, the peo-
Pile here were led to suppose that
Kider had met with foul play and ar
rested Hoogman as the murderer
Upon being questioned as to the
whereabouts of the missing man, the
prisoner tainted, but upon recovering.
stated that Kider had gone to Trcn-
ton, Mo-, and left his property in his
(Hoogman's) charge until his return.
The arresting party then proceeded
to examine Klider's house. Large
spots of blood were found on the floor
and walls of his room, the whole pre-
misses emitting the most sickening
odor; large bodies of human bones
were found in the smouldering ashes
of the fire place. The lower jaw was
but little disfgured. Large pieces Of
the skull, together with pieces of hui
man flesh, were dug out of the ashes
IL pOI tlOll vi tuC III iHCI SuOWCd oil III
cision as if the body had been chop
ped in pieces with an ak, preparatory
to burning. The most of the bones
however, had been pounded to pieces
Portions of the murdered mans sad
die were found in the ashes, burned
probably to substantiatc the story that
he had gone away on horseback.
The murderer must have been en-
gagged in his devilish work of burning
the remains during the entire night o.
February %. 1t was with the utmost
difficulty that the citizens could be re
strained from wreaking summary ven
geance on the prisoner. He is a large
muscular man, about thirty-ive years
old, with brutal countenance, which
you can scan in vain for single indi
cation of the finer feelings Of human
ity. He is now in Jail in Princeton
Mo-, awaiting trial. The only motive
for the hellish act appears to have
been that of gain"

ANOTHER ATTEMPT TO Rob THE BANK.

ANOTHER ATTEMPT TO Rob THE BANK.
very poor attempt to rob
the Bank in this place was made on
Wednesday night. The burglars ca
silly gained admission to the counting
room, 10y prying open the outside door,
and then commenced operations on
the door to the vault, by trying to
blow it open with powder, but they
did not even get the outside door
open and only succeeded in so far in
juring the lock that it could not be
opened with the key. Had they sue
ceeded in forcing open this door they
would still have had another and
stronger door to force before getting
into the vault, and once in the vault
they would have had to make still
greater efforts to break into the large
iron safe, so that their chances for
plumber were decidedly remote. They
left a canister of powder, piece OF
fuse and a cold chisel as tokens of their
labor. They shut the blinds to the
bank, and the night was very favor.
able one for their operations, being
very dark, muddy and foggy.-Bellosrs

UNPLEASANT EvIDENCE--The New
York World complains that the Re
construction Committee are taking
the evidence of all sorts of people and
reporting at length, while they give
"the two days, testimony of General
Robert E. Lee, worthy of all accep-
tation, in ten lines
The World accordingly delares
that it "will insult its readers with
none of this trash"
A part of the 'trash" thus rejected
is the evidence of Major General Geo.
ID. Thomas, and of Mr.. Patterson
Senator elect from Tennessee, and
son-in-law of the President. Both
witnesses, as it happens, give some
rather strong evidence as to the late
companions of that General Robert
E. Lee" who is declared "worthy of all
acceptation, and both are accord
ingly thrown over.-Bostom advertiser.

The Rebels who, upon the downfall Of the "Con.
tederate" cause, emlgrated to Mexico are having
a rough time OF it. They espoused the cause Of
MAXIMILIAN and made considerable parade OF
the kind reception afforded them by the Govern
ment of the Empire. They settled upon the con-
tscated church plantations and we remember
TO have read some very glowing accounts from
them oil the Nrility of the soil, geniality of the
climate, etc. But there are two parties ia
Mexico and IN becoming the friends OF MAXI
MILAN our ex-Rebel wanderers have incurred
the hostility OF the Libesals. Several of them
have lately been captured Wy the Liberals, who

Hen. N. F. ODELL.-In The death of the Hon.
NJ. F. ODELL the country has lost one of its most
conscientious servants. Mr.. ODELL was elected
to Congress for the Brooklyn District at the very
crisis of oar national fate, and at a time when
no one but leader among the Democrats could
ee chosen. He was elected while at the capital
as consistent War Democrat. and voted with
the Union party on every question growing out
OF the war. A thorough loyalist, he was one
of the General DIX school, and while still hol l.
ing party principles. sacrificed them 10 the COM
mon good. On his retirement from the House
he received the appointment of United States
Naval officer at New York, which he held at
the time of his death. 1t will be difficult for
the Government to find successor at once so
able, so patriotic, and so devoted to the duties
OF his post.
