From the Georgetown Times, 2Oth.l
We were forcibly reminded of the truth
of this old saying on reading the follow
ing in the Lexington Statesman of last
week
"REBELs RAMPANT.-We are informed
that at the celebration Of the Democratic
victories last week at Georgetown, the
young ladies of female school at that
place, who participated on the occasion,
were required to wear red, white and
red badge on their arm, and one lady,
who refused to do so, was threatened with
punishment for her refusal. We are glad
to know that she resisted, and finally tore
the badge from her arm, where it had
been forcibly placed, and threw it in the
fire. We are further informed that the
ladies were instructed that each of them
must have a Confederate flag by next
Thursday. Are these things true2 Are
Democratic victories at the polls to re-
suit in the resuscitation of the lost
cause and its flag 2"
We are sorry to spoil this pretty little
story, and rob our Radics.i friends of the
political capital they expected to derive
from it, but it is best that the cause of
truth be vindicated though the "trooly
loil suffer. 1t is true there was "cel-
ebration here, il we may allow the
term, of the Democratic victories; aside
from this statement there is not one word
Of truth in the entire notice. The young
ladies of female school did not appear
in red, white and red on this occasion,
either from compulsion or choice, nor
did any ladies participate in any way in
the demonstration. Diligent search has
been made for the heroine of the story,
who Indignantly tore the "rebel" en-
blem from her arm, but up to this time
she has not been found There were no
badges of any kind displayed, and no
flag Of the lost cause" resuscitated."
The school at which il is alleged these
rampant misses displayed their
rebel proclivities is not designated
but the principals of both schools owe il
to themselves and patrons to demand. the
author of this malicious information aud
hold him up to public contempt. It is
but just that the Statesman, that origin.
ally published the article, and the Gin
cinnati Commercial and other papers
that copied il, should make the correc-
ton.

bad is not by any means conclusively
proved. 1t is said she had been dis
charged from several places, owing to
her lack Of chastity, but the report comes
from no responsible source.
To be sure, some photographs Of nude
woman, bearing the likeness Of Isabella
Roy, were found in the suicides pocket,
but il is said that they were counterfeits
that is the face Of the murdered girl
had been pasted upon the nude portrait
of another woman; and it is further con-
jectured that the wretch made the coun-
terfeits that he might, through their
medium, poison young Vests mind
against his betrothed. Gregory, It is
known, had frequently, but unsuccess-
fully, tried to induce the young girl to
run away with him hence his object in
poisoning the lovers mind.
But it is all conjecture and surmise !;
the why and wherefore of the whole
tragedy will probably never see the light.

Suicide.

bulcldo.
The Gregory tragedy is still the theme
of conversation about the city. No facts
have yet transpired to throw light on the
case, as the cause Of the dreadful affair.
Mr.. Jennings, who keeps a gunshop in
the New England Block, states that
Gregory purchased revolver of him on
Thursday, saying that he was going into
the country with $l400 to make a pay
ment on a farm, and he wanted the
weapon to defend himself with, in case
he should be attacked by persons who
heard him speak of the money in a sa-
loon not long before.
The weapon found near Isabella Roy
has been identified by Jennings as the
revolver in question.
The theory is advanced by some, that
the girl killed Gregory; basing it on the
fact that the bodies were far apart, and
the pistol lay by the girls side, render
ing il impossible for Gregory to have
thrown it there, after be had shot himself; ;
but then, the pistol wound could not
have proved fatal; for, in that case, how
could he have cut his throat 1t seemed
evident, likewise, that the girl had been
dead longer than the man.
There were long hairs clinging to his
pants and vest, like the hair Of the girl,
showing that there had been a struggle
between them.
His object in killing the girl is sought
for in tho hypothesis that Gregory quar-
