feat of the negro suffrage amendment in
Ohio, by so large a majority. 1t says /:
The people of Ohio have pronounced
q libel upon their own intelligence by
their vote on this question. They have
said to the South, you need not enfran
chise the blacks. Ii the
people Of the North will not give suffrage
to the colored men, they concede to the
people of the South the justice and poll
cy of their position in relation to the
colored race
There is no doubt, whatever, that
Ohio, by voting down and refusing to ac-
cept negro suffrage for hcrsek, has form
ally condemned all the measures of Con
gress to force That measure upon the
Southern States. She can not be put in
the mean attitude OF wanting other States
to adopt that which she will not do. Our
members of Congress, if they have any
sense of decency or regard for the popu-
lar will Of their own State, will now
abandon this obnoxious proposition.
We would say to the Republican, how
ever, that Ohio has vindicated the intel
ligence Of the people by this decision, in
stead of " libelling' it.-EnQairer.

Lovely Young White Girl and AFTER
ward Tears her Tongue cut
from the Root


One Of the most shocking aul horrible
events ever known to history occurred
last week in Maryland, by which the
daughter Of one of the most prominent
and wealthy citizens OF Cumberland conn.
ty has been reduced to condition Il
thousand times worse than death.
Mr. Charles Deane, resident of Bra
dy's Mills, on the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad, gentleman of education, and
possessor of the large mill and other
property in the village, had an only
daughter, named Bessie, a young lady
not quite seventeen. possessed ol refine
mant and every virtue and accomplish
ment which nature could give or money
procure She had form of exquisite
symmetry and grace, and a rare voice
which cultivation had trained to produce
the most perfect harmony she was in
deed charming singer and belle Of the
country.
For some months past there has been
prowling around Brady's Mills, a most
ogrcish looking mulatto, supposed 10
have formerly been the slave Of a brother
of Mr.. Deane, living in Georgia.
This monster has lived in iilta hut at
the foot of Brady's Mountain, with an
old woman who seemed to be mistress,
mother and houSekeeper, all in one. No
one knew his name, but by the wags OF
ofthe town he was designated as Dan
Scrunch.
On Monday, the ID of September, Miss
Bessie being at home, having ielt school
at Baltimore, where she was attending,
Oh account Of the serious illness of her
mother, went, unaccompanied, to spend
the afternoon with a neighbor, some dis
tance away, and returning IN the early
evening around the mountain, a sudden
thunder shower came on, aud meeting
Dan, was induced by him to seek shelter
in the hut
Alas poor child; no sooner had the
door been shut, than the fendish demon
seized upon her, despite her piercing
screams and struggles, and in the pres
euce of the old witch woman, he commit
ted upon the chaste virgin the loulest
outrage Of which the human mind can
conceive or man is capable. lie then
dragged her insensible form out of the
hut The cool air revived her, and again
her lips uttered a shrll cry, when this
savage beast, in human shape, standing
upon her PROSTATE form, with the insane
idea of putting it out Of her power TO tell
of the crime, crushed open her mouth
with the heel of his boot, and with his
hyena claws he tore the poor girls tongue
from her throat A small boy, driving
the cows in the vicinity, hearing the
screams, gave the alarm; but before help
had arrived the fiend had fled, The eX-

Old of Arkansas county were brought to
this city under guard and placed in the
penitentiary. Their arrest was made on
the charge of whipping anegro who had
beaten to death horse belonging to Mr..
Mitchell, in whose employ he was. The
negro has stated since the parties were
arrested that he had no desire to prose-
cute them that he was willing to pay for
the horse he had killed, and be deserved
the treatment he had received but further
stated that the frccdmcns bureau would
not allow him to withdraw the charge.
The friends of Alr. Mitchell in the city
were persistent in their efforts to obtain
his release ON bad, offering to give a
bond for his appearance in any amount
required but the military authorities de-
clined TO admit him to bail On Monday
last he was arraigned for trial before u
military commission, and that same night
he was attacked in his cell with chol-
eraic disease, of which he died at s
o'clock Tuesday night, Weare informed
that he received from the keepers of the
.penitentiary all attention that was com
patiabe with his situation

How TO Pay THE NATIONAL DEBT. THE
Detroit Free Press recommends the fol
lowing as the best way to pay the nation
al debt, and bring about restoration and
peace to the whole country:
Put the thieves out Of Office and put
honest men in. Retrench the eXpendi-
lures Of the government to one hundred
millions. Cut the Freedman's Bureau
swindle from the Treasury and thus save
millions to the people. If the negroes
are fit to vote, they are competent to sus-
tain themselves. Take the military forces
from the South and muster them out of
service, and leave the people there to
reconstruct" themselves, as they were
doing before Congress interfered and
put them further from the Union than
ever before Cut off the myriads of par
asites now hanging upon the Treasury.
Retrench expenditures until the income
largely exceeds the outgo. Apply the
surplus to the payment of the national
debt, and the whole "question' will be
answered.

How THEY KEEP Their PLEDGES -
Hon d. w. Voorhies, in one of his elo-
quent speeches before an Ohio audience
during the late canvass, uttered the fol-
lowing concerning the broken pledges
of the Republican party
"Why, they have broken their own
plighted faith thousand times over since
the war. | have shown you that not one
pledge have they kept. The Crittenden
resolutions they broke; their laws in
every form recognizing these Southern
States as States, they have broken. They
have repudiated principle; they have re-
pudiated their own record made during
the war; they have repudiated their
promises made to the soldier. Repudi-
alton has been their daily work, and by it
they have blasted and withered the fruits
which the war should have brought to
the people" This is the party that has
been rebuked in Ohio, Pennsylvania,
California and Connecticut. And the
voters of New York are getting ready to
give the finishing blow.-AJony Argus.

hAhO hAhAAeS Va 'hAsSRSSARPAs
The Ladies of Jackson appeal to their sis
tiers throughout the State, in behalf Of the
destitute,-and they know the appeal will
not be made in vain.
Information is received, almost every day.
that great restitution prevails in different
parts of the State. We cannot shut our ears
to the cry for bread {; and feel that prompt
and efficient efforts should at once be made
to afford relief. These efforts, to be success
full, must not depend upon the single action
ofindividuals, but should be the organized
and associated work of the community. Our
people are all ready to assist in this good
work. But their charities must be properly
directed, in order to be useful and efficient.
The Ladies of Jackson feeling the neces-
sity Of organized and associated action, have
formed here the Estate Benevolent Society,
Its object is to obtain information, from
every part of the State, of those who need
assistance and relief; and to solicit money
and provisions for distribution among them
They urgently appeal to their sisters in
every county, to assistitkem in this work, by
forming auxiliary Societies in furtherance of
these objects Our whole people have suf-
fered greatly in every way during the past
five years but the burden has fallen much
heavier on some than others The deficient
harvests of last year have been felt most Sc
verely by the poor, who have neither money
nor bread; and we feel certain, that every
one will use little selfdenial and curtail
some useless expense, in order to relieve their
fellow-beings-to save helpless women and |
little children from starvation. 1t is only |
necessary to properly direct the charity of
individuals to relieve the present temporary
distress
Man has his stern duties to perform in the |
battle of life. The true mission of woman.
is mercy and charity. In relieving sorrow---
in feeding the hungry, and clothing the ma
tHed-she always follows the instincts Of
her nature. The Divine Master declared,
that "the poor we have among We always
and the example of his whole life taught the
lesson-that through all time, it should be
the duty of Christians, to minister to the
wants and relieve the sufferings of the poor
We have made Mr.. Willis w. Langley, of
this place, our Treasurer. He will receive
and distribute such contributions as the be-
neyolent may send. We ask for money and
provisions. Let those who cannot give
much, give little but let every one give
something however small The occasion is
urgent. Let not the cry for bread be made
to any one in vain.

undersigned will receive due attention.
