MOST BRUTAL MURDER.

We learn from the ST. Louis Times OF the
14th instant, the following particulars Of the
brutal murder, bya mob, of THOMAS W. LIT
TIE son Of the late Mr.. John II. Little, for
morly Of jefferson County, Virginia;
..Tbomas w Little and Fred. Meyers were
o,-se,ed IN ST. Louis on their way South, on
the 99tb day of May, 1867, charged with CON-
nlcity with the late bank robbery and out
Iare at Richmond, in Ray County. They were
taken without warrant, on the order of Gov.
Fletcher, communicated BY telegraph, and sent,
not TO Ray County, but TO Johnson County,
and placed in the hands of mob calling them
selves a vigilance committee. We have the
statement Of Mr. George Washington that LAT
tie and Movers were in the hands Of this mob,
and By them confined in the county jail at
Warrcnsburg, on Monday, 81 inst. The Jail
was closely guarded, and Mr. Washington, in
company with the mother and sister Of Little,
was permitted 70 communicate with him thro
the grating Of the window Upon obtaining
from the prisoner the names Of persons residing
in Dover. Lafayette County, who would testify
that at the time Of the Richmond outrage he
was in Dover, and could not have participated
I'm that act. with the assurance from Titles
iailors .hat he would be held till his friends
could return from Dover with the necessary
proofs, and that as soon as the testimony of
one responsible person should establish bis in
nocence he should be released, Mr.. Washing
ton, accompanied by the brother Of Little, rode
over 10 Dover and returned after having tra-
veled abo1t one hundred miles, about midnight
on the 4th, with the alidayits Of several per-
soGs Of well atteSted character and standing, to
the effect that both Little and Meyers were in
Dover and not in Richmond on the day of the
outrage Mr. Washington was assured he
would be heard in the morning on behalf Of
his friend, and retired 70 rest.
about FIVE o'clock in the morning Little
was taken ont of the jail and hanged Just in
the edge Of Warrensburg. lie had on his per-
son at the time his parole as q confederate SOL
der and prisoner of war, which guaranteed him
protection both in person and property.
Little was likewise charged with the rob-
berry of M Fitzgerald, bur on being con-
/ frOnted with Mr.. Fitzgerald the latter stated
he was not the person
Mr. Washington produced a number Of adi-
dayits procured in Dover in support of Little:
innocence. The Times comments with serve
rity upon Gov. Fletcher for placing Little In
| the hands Of an excited mob and says:
/ d" Nothing can excuse the Warrensburg mob
nothing can excuse Governor Fletcher for COM
plicity, nor any amount Of roparation wipe out
the wrong. An innocent man has been foully
and muTderously deprived Of liie--aud by mer
who axe the sworn administrators Of the law
The documents which we publish elsewhere
are the indisputable proofs Of foul crime Of
| which Governor Fletcher cannot wholly wash
/ his hands"

4 Suggestive Comparison.

treatment at Mobile, with the le'iy INDUCED

wear to Indianapolis, when he was insulted by
a Radical mob. This is but another Of the
thousand Illustrations afforded by the Radicals
Of what they mean by free speech, and who arc
free 70 exercise the right and enjoy it. Not
even is the President a privileged character ii
his speech is offensive to Radicalism, while any
blackcuari has tie right to be insulting and
abusive, if he only conform to Radical notions

mo Attorney Generals OPINION.

Tho opinion of Attorney General Stanbery
upon the powers and duties Of the military
commanders in the ten jisfranchiscd Southern
States has been approved By the President and
Cabinet. Il sets forth the terms and meaning
Of the two reconstruction acts. with great abi.i-
". and totally denies the authority Of the mill
tary to displaco Governors and other officers Of
States and appoint otbcrsin their stead. There
is no provision in the law 10 authorize the Gen
cral in command 10 establish courts or tIibu-
mails Tor the trial Of civil cases. The province
Of the military government Is only " to protect
al persons in their rights Of person and proper
t.. to suppress instruction, disorder and y'o-
lence. and 70 punish, OF cause 70 be puniS'el'
al disturbcrs Of the public peace and eT''n'-
nails :. in other words. that these military com
naple-s are nothing moge nor less than con-
SENATORS Of the public peace and the officers
authorized to see that every citizen entitled TO
-,,, or the new constitutions Of any one Of
these 5islrancLiscd States IS allowed to exercise
Bis privilege.
This expedition IS SO plain that no impartial
man can dissent from its logical conclusions,
vet the Radical press and politicians are down
upon it before allowing the people to form an
unbiased opinion upon it.
And the great agitator, Stevens, is out with
another letter, dated 18th instant, urging a
session Of Congress IN July TO denounce the
opinions Of the Attorney GeneTa,-deeming 1t
an usurpaton % act upon the question at ell,
and stating that these opinions require some
explanatory or supplemental acts.
Il is understood that, as the time for re-as-
eeuJ&rg Congress is near at hand, the Presi-
dent viii take no action upon the usHrpations
Of Sheridan and others, but viii submit the IN
viacible argument Of Mr.. S;anbery to tia;

publish the opinion In our columns.
