A Child StramgIed by it's Father.

From the Des Moines Iowa) Register.
We learned yesterday the particu-
lars of a revolving act of internal
fcruelty, perpetrated at Sai1dyyille, in
Warren county, by father upon his
own child--an act which a devil
would blush to commit The man s
name is Reeves, and the act was com
mitted on the cold Tuesday night
which everybody remembers with a
shudder. The man has been married
for eighteen months, and the little
one which he strangled to death was
only four or five months old. He had
always positively refused to permit the
child to be taken into the bed with
him and his wife, but compelled her to
put it in cradle by the bedside. On
the cold night referred to, the little
one kept up constant crying, and its
mother insisted and finally did take it
in the bed with her. The next morn
ing the child was found dead, and it
was at first thought that it
had been smothered to death,
but it met it's fate at the
hands of its demoniac parent and the
coroner's inquest being held, the jury
returned verdict "that the child came
to its death by strangulation.' The
throat of the little one showed in
death the terrible finger-prints of the
unfeling hand that crushed its young
life out. That man was arrested and
taken to Indianola for examination,
but we understand the trial was post
poned for a week or two, to allow him
to prepare himself, or to procure
witnesses, or on some other pretext.

We have, however, compiled table,
showing the number of votes cast by
each Southern State at the Presidential
election Of 1860, and the estimated
number of voters at the present time,
white and black, based upon the cal
culation that the proportion of voters
to the male population remains the
same as it was in 1860. BY votes in
this connection are meant all males

Hon. Henry T. Elicit, "a Judge 0
the Supreme Court Of Mississippi, ant
one of her most gifted and enlightened
statesmen, has published letter in th,
Port Gibson Standard, on the present
condition of public affairs in the South
in answer TO one of inquiry addressed
to him by Mr.. Green and other citi-
zens of this town. 1t is characterized
by the ability and logic, which distin-
guish all his productions and abounds
with wholesome advice to the people
of our State, Not approving, as none
of our people debut decidedly dis
approving the Military bills, he re-
CARDS reconstruction in some form or
other under them, as a foregone con-
clusion, and demonstrates that it is the
imperative duty of every citizen, who
is not disfranchised, to vote. To quote
his own language cit was always
cone of the first duties of every citi-
"zen entitled to vote to do so and
"it is doubly his duty now. The Con-
"vention will be a most important
"body. The negro suffrage question
sis not the only one that will be agi-
stated there. The whole subject of
prescription, among other things, will
"come up. The radical opinions that
care rampant in Tennessee and Mis-
"souri will be represented.
On the subject of negro suffrage, he
suggests that "after all, Objectionable
"as it is, it may prove to be by no
"means an Intolerable evil. All forms
"of calamity diminish in magnitude,
"and terror as we approach and Crap
''ple with it. So it will probably be with
this" He argues THAI it is the duty of
patriotic and good men to enlighten
and instruct patiently and kindly the
new sufragans for the responsibilities
which have devolved upon them, and
TO evince willingness to accord to
hem all the political, and civil rights to
which the laws. entitle them, stating
with truth that cit is not the negroes
we have to fear, but unprincipled white
men who will seek to use them for
selfish and wicked ends. Against
this influence Che says) we can only
'be effectually guarded by convincing
them that we are their best and truest
(

,als will keep faith with the South, |

supremacy in her local government; |
point upon which the most sanguinc q
f our people can not be entirely sat
fled. Like everything else in the fu- @
Ire, this result is uncertain. But we d
ave reason to hope that the Conser- n
alive Republicans of the Sherman
,hool, with the aid of their allies n
ON other quarters, will be able to a
)ntrol the future destinies fthe coun-
y. The people of the South can but a
} their duty in the perilous emergen-
=; and leave the rest to other hands. s.
t all events, as Judge Elicit conclu-
vely demonstrates, there is but one a
purse which can be pursued consis- G
ntly with wisdom and patriotism. u

MARRYISG IN HASTE AND REPEST1Sa

story, which possesses a local interest.

went from Wheeling to the county seat
of County, northern Ohio, for the
purpose Of completing his EDUCATION.
Before he had been there long be bo
came euamored OF a beautiful young
lady and the attachment proving mns

When they had returned from tbeI,
bridal tour, he bid his wife a re.
luctant adieu and went avay r.
engage in business, leaving tbs
fair bride at her home until he should
return. His absence was prolonged
many months, and he did not retarn
until last March. Meanwhile thelonu
separation seemed to have wrought 4
mutual arrangement. They finally
both came to the conclusion that 4 liie
Of single hlesseGlneSa would be the hap.
piPst for each, and they applied for q
divorce to the Court or Common Pleas,
then in session, and the separation was
granted Immediately after, and
before he could leave town the young
was taken very i'll, and kept his bed
nearly four weeks. During all this
time he was attended and most tenderly
nursed by the young lady who had 90
recently been his wife, and when he
was well enough to travel, she accom-
panied him to the railroad depot, where
they bid each other a final farewell and
he returned to his home in this city.
