Democratic Horrors in Texas.

Frederick w. Sumner formerly well
known mechanic in New York city, emlgrat-
IA 10 Taxas whence. in 1861, he was driven
Inv the rebels for his Union principles,
barely escaping with his life. After the
war he re.urned TO his old home in Texas,
and was chosen a member of the Constitu-
tional convention now sitting at Austin. He
also is probably counted among the ''car-
pet-baggers. A..
Mr.. Sumner has lately written to friend
in New York about the situation IN that
territory, and says; -,
ssIn my opinion, 1t matters little what sort
of a constitution we make. as the rebels
are determined to defeat 1T at all hazards,
and the failure to convict Andrew Johnson
has encouraged them to come out boldly,
and murder Union men IN open daylight.
Since / left my home, there have been
no less than twelve loyal men shot by reb-
els in nv vicinity; and of that number eight
were killed on the spot. Several OF them
were nv friends What are we to do ?
We have become so used to hearing OF our
friends and neignbors being murdered in
cold blood that il almost ceases to create
any sensation. NV brother-in-law at Sher-
man. in writing me a few days ago, stated
ironically that times had become quite
peaceabie. as no one had been killed in
the last two days
| assure Won that an awful state of things
exists in this state. Could you be in our
Committeeman, and listen to people Civ
ing their testimony on oath, you would
be made hear sick and faint by the the
dreadful accounts of murders and other
outrages that are daily committed in
Texas.
think most of the loyal people have
lived in hope till now, when we have come
to the conclusion that there is no peace,
no protection, and no hope. Often when
we hear of friends having been murdered,
we are consoled by the reflection that the
poor fellow is now released from his
troubles.
Mr. Comstock, a loyal member of this
Convention, has had his family driven out
by the Rebels since he came to the capital.
4 few days since, the following notice
was posted on five different houses at Pilot
Grove, eighteen miles from Sherman):
Look out The devils den and bloody
moon. All Union Leaguers have dew time
TO leave the county. Ifthey don't--for
this is n White Mans County, and they will
IooI it. -
''Dr Cole, bundle up and bee off, quick.
X. X. X.
''If this is taken down in ten days, this
house will be responsible"
am informed by Mrs. Cole that there
was not man who dared to take one of
those notices down. Nor would the men
on whose houses notices were stuck permit |
them to be taken down, fearing that their
houses would be burned and themselves
assassinated if they did. In my opinion,
several of the members of this Convention
will be IN great danger of assassination
while returning to their homes.

Another Radical Murder.

At eleven o'clock last night police officer
Michael Butler was stabbed while in the
performance of his duties, at the corner of
Adele and New Levee streets. DIR. ID.
Mackay was promptly i'll attendance, and
rendered every service, but pronounced
the case hopeless, as the knife had entered
the lung. and the patient was dying from
internal hemorrhege. The deceased was q
quiet and peaceable man, but outspoken in
his political views. He leaves wife and
three children to mourn his untimely end.
Lieutenant Madden has arrested Thomas
J.. Barlow and Owen Duffy, but James
jackson, the actual perpetrator of the muir
der, has not yet been found.
1t appears that policeman Butler, while
on his beat, heard pistol shots in the coffee
house of Barlow, and went in there to
make an arrest. He arrested Barlow,
around whom, when they got into the
street, a crowd gathered TO rescue the pris-
oner.
Jackson, tall, powerful man, police
officer under the Monroe administration,
Joined in the crowd and inflicted the fatal
wound upon Butler. Another police officer
who was assisting Butler, finding himself
to be powerless, was compelled to release
the prisoner Barlow has the unenviable
reputation of having killed police officer
several years ago.-N o. Republican.

people. The house was surrounded by
cavalry after the Innocents had gone away
and the inmates were arrested by the po-
lice.
About the time this shot was heard, a
rush was made upon man named Edward
Malone, who was shockingly cut with
knives and hit with pistol shots. 1t is
thought that his assailants mistoek him for
police officer or a colored man, His body
was taken to the main station.
One of the Innoeents riding in car this
morning was heard to say, alluding to the
man killed at the corner of Delord and
Dryades street, 1--WE made big mistake in
killing the wrong man; we though he was
a niger and riddled him." This proves
the theory advanced in this report.
