until midnight, when they surrounded the
premises occupied by the alleged murderers, in
the piney woods, and arrested them, NO resist

out with a double. barreled shot gun, but AS
soon as he saw the superior numbers against
them he yielded without attem pting To raise

reputation OF being pretty desperate characters
and hence large squad OF military was em (.
ployed to capture them. The murders occurred
six or seven weeks ego in the piny woods. some
alleged murderers, and the acts were
committed under horrible circumstances.
One colored woman and two colored men
were hung, and one colored man was

The Registry LAW.


The Supreme Court, by majority of one voice
Judges Thompson, Strong, and shsrswood
against Judges Read and Agnew-decided the
Registry Law to be opposed to the Constitu-
tion. The decision we published yesterday.
We cannot express surprise at the result
although it causes regret. The objects of the
law were most commendable. All good citi-
zens Join together in wishing that some plan
could be devised which will secure fairly the
rule of the majority, without fraud of any
kind. The Court was emphatically in favor of
a registry law of some kind. But any one
who has read the present draft cannot doubt
that it was unconstitutional in many of its
provisions. 1t added qualifications not re-
quired by the Constitution. The fault lay
with the author. He made series Of stupid
mistakes. He made residence Of nineteen
instead of ten days necessary, and gave a
vague and indefinite power to the Aldermen
and canvassers. If these defects could be
remedied, as we wish they could, we think
that law at once just stern, and legal could
be secured. The refusal to confirm it, while
to be regretted, is, we repeat, no ground for
surprise.

A RAILROAD from st. Louis to Texas is con.
sidered desirable. A Texan, writing to the ST.
Louis Republican, urging the construction OF
railroad from St. Louis to Texas, says:--"Be-
tween the Neuces and Rio Grande rivers there
are 200, 600 head of horned cattle, and 100000
head of horses and mules. The trade of San
Antonio with Mexico amounts to 900 an I.
nually. 1t would take. railroad fifty years to
carry all the cattle in Western t exas to St
Louis. Cattle In that country are being killed
for their hides alone He says such railroad
would not only make ST. Louis the STOCK mar.
ket OF America but would develop tue finest
copper coal, and silver mines in the world -

DISGRACEFUL BARTER.
A Mother Sells her Daughter for Two
ThOuRaRd Il Dollars.

The Winona tMinn.) Republican of the 25th
ult. says:-
agitated and excited over an elopement affair
which occurred there last week, tue particulars
of which were received from gentleman VINO
came in on the train yesterday.
AT Owatonna reSioed a mllliner, Mrs. My
rick, who was the mother of young and fasci-
mating daughter of about sixteen. A very re.
spectacle young man, named Otel, had been
paying the laughter attention for some time,
and 1t was currently reported and believed that
they were engaged. Matters stood thus when q
man from Chicago, or some city further east, to
whom Mrs Myrick was Indebted in the sum of
$1,000, came 10 Owatonna, and made the
acquaintance of Miss Myrick. He no sooner
saw her than he determined to possess her.
and being a man INSCRIPTIONS as to what
means he employed. he offered Mrs. Myrick
TO release her from her obligation of $1,000 if she
would give him her daughter. Whether
she required much urging or not is not
known, but she finally acceded to the PROPOSE
ton.
There was another party to be consulted, how.
ever. The young and Innocent girl snruuk from
the idea OF being sold-bartered Tor price-and

bic partner in the disgraceful bargain, mock
trial was had and Odell was held in custody at
her request until she got started home with her
daughter. But instead of going to Owatonna
the party took the eastward bound train. Tue
young girl was almost frantic, and, 1t is said,
attempted to leap from the train. 1t is also
reported that she attempted to jump overheard
at Prairie du Chen. The young man returned
to Owatonna with his father. The Whereabouts
of Mrs. Myrick her daughter, and the man who
sought to have possession of her, are not no "
known.
Mrs. Myricks milliner shop is closed up, and
the public opinion is very much against her

who would deliberately sell her daughter in that

CONGRESS yesterday had under consideration
the present system of reporting debates in the
Congressional Globe at the public expense by
paid reporters, and agreed to continue it. The
chief argument made in defense of this custom
was that, as everything is reported, members
are held to strict responsibility for their
sentiments as we'll as their votes. On the
other hand, the temptation to talk or rather
to write or have written a multitude Of essays
on political subjects is greatly increased by
the natural desire OF every member to have
his own name spread frequently upon the volu-
minous pages OF the ofii3ial journal. The real
debate of Congress forms but small portion
of the matter printed as such. There are an
abundance of members who without uttering
a single thought calculated to influence the
deliberations of their associates, or to convey
an iota of information, still insist upon deli
vering or having printed speeches, which no
body reads. These "Bunkum' efforts are, in
most instances, totally useless, for they have
ceased to deceive enlightened rural constituent
cies, and they should be abolished.

The proposition of the Hopse is to deduct ten

else. The wrong thus done is palpable. We

of the committee and assign the proposed
reputation to legislative grave.

There is no sin the constant practice of
which so blackens and demoralizes the whole
Intellectual man as lying. A man that habit
ually and deliberately resorts to falsehood in
political or social strife discloses weakness
of brain and wickedness of heart that make
him one of the most hopeless of all the cases
OF moral disease with which philanthropists
and reformers have to deal. These reflections
are suggested by the constant receipt of re-
quests, written and verbal, like the following;
Will you please refute the falsehood in the
Argus of this morning in regard to what is
known as the "Colfax Circular" purporting
to give sixteen reasons why Grant should not
be President?" 1t is well known that the doc
ument is Democratic fabrication, all knowl-
edge of which on the part of Colfax and his
friends was denied months ago. CIvIs
No, good "Civis," we can't afford the space.
We prefer to let the Argus go at large with
the load we have already placed on its back
the reputation of lying habitually and con-
stantly. 1t may be assumed as general rule
from which there are trivial and unimportant
exceptions that whatever of a political nature
appears in the columns of our neighbor is
false rcfutation complete and final in our
columns only results in reiteration on the
part OF our neighbor or profound silence
just look at this case: The Argus of the
9th inst. printed paragraph in which it was
asserted that all of the Maine Radicals in
Congress voted for bill to increase the duty
on copper, and they were denounced in no
measured terms for doing SO. On the 9TH we
showed that not one Of them vot ed for the bill
while t,oo uoted against 1t, the others, who were
absent, being opposed to it, to our certain
knowledge. On the 18th we again published
refutation. Profound silence on the part of
the Argus was the only result
Here is another: The Argus has stated that
the cost of the impeachment trial was one
hundred million dollars. The appropriation
for all the expenses of the impeachment trial
was sixteen thousand dollars, and all of that has
not been used. ae iHI 9ti H-As
Still another, in order to make out an ex
penditure of $5O0,OOO,0OO for the last fiscal
year, includes the month of july NTH the
t,oelUe months preceding and otherwise doctors
and muddles official figures with conjecture
and falsehood. We cannot undertake to an
swer such fabrications with argument. Tt
does not call for argument or notice Let it
be understood now, as OF old, that the false is
the rule and the truth the exception in the
columns of the Argus. a f it1

Political NQfeA.

The Boston Transcript asks this question:
How can the Reconstruction Acts of Con-
gress be unconstitutional, revolutionary and
void when the Supreme Court has recognized
legislation based on these acts, and the Execu-

State, the organization of which was made by
virtue of them? We rather think many lead

A private letter from California, referring to
the revival of political interest as the Presi-
