That church is said to be the second
protestant church established in this

The Rev. Piiny II. White, of Coventry,
will deliver an address on the occa-
sion of the celebration, and the exer-
cises will have reference mainly to the
ecclesiastical concerns of that parish.
Mr.. White is the President of the Yer
mont Historical Society, and as is
well known is one of the most dill
gent and painstaking antiquanans
connected with that society Besides
this discourse, in which the history OF
the church with "reminiscences Of the

needful for such a celebration will b.
provided by the people of that OLE

Excellent as Mr.. Whites discourse
will undoubtedly be from the pecu
liar interest of the subject, and tn
known ability of the author, its goo'

Civil Rights In Kentucky.

Kentucky having fallen into the
hands of its rebel citizens, has become
the most lawless State in the Union.
In proof OF this, we have the annexed
statement by a Lexington corrcspon-
dent of the Cincinnati Gazette:
"At fair estimate two negroes per
day are beaten, outraged, manned,
burned or murdered Under the Civ
il rights law over fifty murders and
more than two hundred cases of out
rage upon black citizens have been re-
ported to the civil and military nu-
thorities. During the past year alone
five hundred murders and outrages
upon negroes have occurred IN Ken
lucky. This only includes such cases
ms were officially noticed by the Uni
ted States Commissioners, Civil
Courts or Agents of the Freedmen S
Bureau, and it is fair to presume that
one or two hundred more cases oc-
Cured which were never reported Mt
all or not acted on officially. But n
single Judge in the State Hon. Vim.
G. GooIloe, who has always been 10y
al, and was arraigned last winter by
the Legislature for his loyalty has
recognized the statutes passed by
Congress, and admitted negro testi-
mony into his courts. All the rest OF
the Judges have either ignored the
law or nulli6ed its effects.
Even in the United States Courts
where seventy-four outlaws and muir
derers have been arraigned, not {
single conviction has been obtained
only one case tried, and all but two
released on bond No wonder tina
the United States officers are sho
down by desperadoes, as was Colone
Rice at Nicholasvillc.

%. He found the Liberal Leader

He had laid the City of Mexico under

question of brief time.

Escohedo and Corana had Queretar'

Juarez said that if Escobedo captured

although coming from Mexico, is re
