Kentucky's Stand.

The Committee on Federal Relations OF
the Kentucky Senate, to whom was refer
red a resolution of the House, protesting
against the Military Reconstruction act,
have reported a substitute, declaring that
the people of Kentucky are for a Union OF
the States, and for maintaining and uphold
ing the Constitution as the fathers made it.
They hold that, Notwithstanding the late
civil war, the seeded States are States OF
the Union, and entitled to all their rights
and privileges as such. They regard the
Reconstruction law as a gross violation OF
the Constitution, a bold strike at, if not de-
struction of, civil liberty, against which
they solemnly protest.

her brother, who held Il revolver against
.Scorr's head, she stopped him in the street,
dashed a bottle of vitriol in his face, prob
ably destroying his sight, and then cow
hidcd him severely. The public sympathy
generally sides with Mr.. SCOTT, the assault
being regarded As brutal in the extreme,
while It is thought that the victim is limo

Terrible Accidental Man Thrown
Eighty Feet into the Air.

The Appleton Crescent gives an account
of the killing of fChristhn Trhssell, in the
woods, in Dale, 0utagamie County, by a
most singular and terrific accident as fol-
lows:
1t appears that a party of men were in
the woods with him cutting a fallow. and
where they were chopping Two trees had
been felled, one across the other, the one
on top balancing nearly. The man who
was Killed wa choppiug near these trees,
and another party havinga large tree about
ready to CONF down, hailed him to lock
out-when he ran and stood on the top of
the balancing tree to see the other come
down. The men then brought the tree to
the ground, which struck the other end OF
the tree on which Trussell was standing ;
and the tremendous weight of it coming
upon the spring lever, threw him like a
shot into the air upward of eighty feet! In
coming down, one his legs from his knee
to his hip was shattered TO atoms, and the
back of his head was stove in. He came
down head first. He was taken up with
some life in him, but soon expired. He
