At the late term of the District Court
in Colorado county, Texas, white man,
named ". H. De Warren, for horse
stealing, was sentenced to the Peniten-
tiary for twelve years, and Thornton
Miller, freedman, for the like offence,
was sentenced to FIVE years in the Peni-
tentiary. Even this can hardly be the
equality before the law that Sumner
and Phillips and their followers claim
for the freedman. Anyhow, we trust
that the New York Tribune and Forney's
Press will make note Of it.
|. Some time during last winter, the
Office at the railroad depot, Russellville,
Kentucky, was entered by party Of five
men, who presentedspistols at the head
of the agent, and demanded the money
in the safe. Thus constrained, he handr
ed over several hundred dollars-all
that was in it. There was snow on the
ground at the time, and after the vii
lains left, the alarm WAS given, and
they were tracked to various portions
of the town, hut could not be caught.
The affair was apparently forgotten.
Among the money stolen was counter
f.;t note, one corner of which had been
torn off and the piece kept. A few days
aoo the original counterfeit was pre-
sented at the depot by a jew, who is
merchandising in the place, was imme-
diately recognized, and the piece fitted
10 the torn corner. The Jew was re-
ouired to explain. Said he had received
il of a negro, one Bill Lewis, well known
in Russellville. Lewis was arrested,
together with another negro, who was
also implicated. Thus, by means of the
counterfeit note, the robbers are about
to be brought to justice.-Nashrifle Die
