Hape by a Negro-rhe Negro Hung.

CINCINNATI, Jan. 30.-In Frankfort, KY,
yesterday a negro committed a rape on an
Irish girl Is years of age, and afterwards
threw her over an embankment, at the
railroad tunnel, breaking her shoulder
blade and otherwise injuring her. The
negro was arrested and lodged in Jail. To-
night crowd of infuriated citizens assem-
bled, forced the Jail, taking the negro and
hung him to tree on top of the precipice
where the young lady was thrown over.
Several shots were fired into his body while
hanging. The Governor knew nothing of
the object of the mob until they had taken
the prisoner from the Jail, when he ordered
the Adjutant General and his assistants to
rescue the prisoner, but without effect.

ON DraNrrY.--Digulty is dreadful when
Il stands on-dignity. Your lady who
prides herself on her great dignity is gem
orally nothing but chaff and shell-there is
no heart, conscience or real womanliness
about her. Your gentleman who does tn e
same thing is a big old muff- creature of
bulk without substance, of pretence with
out basis. Dignity is well enough as q
grace and accomplishment, but when men
and women petrify into it, it is worse than
no dignity at all. - ,ss'isas - .,z:

RENTs.-We notice that in other. cities
and towns landlords are reducing the price
of rents, and the same result must follow
here. Rents are above all other things.
Merchants are compelled to reduce the
price of goods, dry goods, groceries and
provisions, and in fact all kinds of goods
are lower than they were six months ago,
and therefore they cannot pay as high
rents as they did previously, when times
were better. The same must be the case
with tenement houses If men cannot get
high wages, they cannot pay big rents
and landlords must sooner or later learn
this fact, and conform to the new order of
things. s'e &

iDUPREz & BENEDIcr's MINsTRELs LAST
NIGHT.-The Opera House last night was
filled ram-jam full to listen to the superb
melodies and excrutiatingly funny jokes
and sayings of Duprez s. Benedict's Min
strels. Not seat could be obtained any
where. and even standing room was at a
premium. We put it to any one who was
present, and we do it with the tears still
standing in our eyes, was there ever any
thing funnier as burlesque on the P. r.
than the set-to between Coburn and Nc
Coole? We haven't quit laughing
at it yet. It was capital en-
tertainment, but certainly no better than
we might expect from this, the best troupe
now travelling. To-night's programme is
If possible, better than last nights. That
side-splitting effort, .'The Managers
Troubles" which nearly killed US last
spring, amongst other capital acts, will be
presented. We advise all those who intend
to visit the Opera House Tonight, to get
an extra stitch taken in every button on
their clothes, for Lew Benedict and Billy
West will make them fly sure, if they are
any way loose. Go early il you would Sc
cure a seat, for the house will be filed,
there's no doubt about that. .. "a

tB The Seneca Advertiser tells the fol-
lowing: The pastor OF a certain church
not a thousand miles from this place. few
Sabbaths age, when about to baptise child
reproved in the following fashion: "My
dear people. feel that you are negecting
parental duties. as this is only the sec
Ond child presented for baptism during my

(Sensation among the crinoline. e.)-States-
man.
The Seneca Advertiser never said any such
thing, Mr.. STATESMAN. With over three
hundred weddings in the county last year,
the result would not merit the reproof of
any pastor. Please remember that Seneca
is a Democratic county, and that her peo-
pie always do their duty in all cases and sit
uatiOns. The above is gross SANDER, and
we hope the STATESMAN will correct it,

We take it all back, then. Anything for
peace in the family. But don't the ADDER
tiser take wrong view of the matter !?
What We meant to have understood was
that the folks there were slow about hav-
ing their children baptised, that's all. AS
a county that adds her quota to the census
with great regularity, Seneca is a success.

THE Posr OEFIcE.-There is agreat deal
OF dissatisfaction at the change lately made
Il the postoH7ce in this city. People claim
that they bayeto walk too far; that it takes
too long to go for q letter, althought it is
on record that lady went to the postoffice
all the way on foot. and got back the same
day. A friend, curious In such matters,
has made the following estimate: The dis
tance in and out is, say: eight rods. There
are In the city $4,000 people. Now sup
posing it devolved on one man to go to the
postofice for. all these people, he would
have to walk 750 miles. Thirty miles be-
ing an average days walking, it would take
Is days to make the distance. The cost OF
getting the letters would be: One pair
boots at s15; time, at % per day, $75 total
SS7; of, allowing three minutes to make
the trip for each individual, it would oc-
cnpy 626 days time. This, it is claimed, is
asking little too much, and Uncle Samuel
should make q more accommodating ar

n The OLD FoGY.-Old fogies have their
uses in the world. Some people think
they have not, which shows that "some"
are mistaken. Why, the old fogy is really
a blessing. He. is brake which breaks
many folly, before it breaks good man
and woman. Whose voice, like the watch
man on the tower, sounds the alarm of
danger SD soon as his? Who tells the
spendthrifts SO surely and quickly what will
be the result of his recklessness aud folly?
Who warns the young womanso accurately
of the sins that beset her in the form of
young men who go about devouring whom
they may? The old fogy, it is true, is lit
tie gifted with ancient ideas of things, and
is won't to indulge in prosody and muffi-
ness, and thinks the world would go much
better if it drew all the counsel from him.
But setting all these drawback aside, the
old fogy has his attitudes of merit. his
junks OF wisdom, which it would be well
to heed. There are '.sermons in stones and
good in everything" and why not a good
deal OF good in the old fogy? AT least let
Us do him justice, whether in breeches or
petticoats. f.t

Mr.. EGGLESTON presented ajoint res
olution of the Ohio Legislature withdraw
ing its ratification of the constitutional
amendment, and requesting the return to
the Governor of the official papers on file
in Washington, giving the assent of Ohio
to the said amendment. He said it was
doubtful whether the persons called on for
such papers had the right to return them
to the Governor of Ohio. He also desired
to say that the Legislature of Ohio, in pass
ing such a joint resolution, had gone
against the wishes of the people of that
State; that there had been recently an
election in one of the Congressional dis
tricts where that iniquity. had been pre-
sented before the people, aud the result of
that election was probably owing to the
actiDn of the Legislature.
The resolution was referred to the Ju-
dietary committee, who was instructed to
report whether State has the right to
withdraw its assent.

inquiry was ordered, as to the eXpediency

tinue the Freedmen's Bureau. Ordered
printed and recommitted.
The first section provides for the contin-
uance of the Bureau for one year alter the
July 16, 1868.
The second section directs the Secretary
of War to withdraw the Bureau from
States represented in Congress, unless at
ter consultation with the Commissioner,
and upon his own examination, he is salts
fled it should be continued, provided, that
the educational provision shall not be at
fected until suitable provision is made
within the State for the education OF the
children of freedmen.
The Sd section permits the Commission
er to employ uneXpended balances, not re-
auired for the due execution of law, for
educational purposes, to be subject to the
provisions of the law applicable thereto.
The 4th section permits officers of the
veteran reserve corps or volunteer service,
on duty under the Commissiener,e who
have been or may be mustered .out,of SER
vice, to be returned when required Tor
proper execution of law, with the same
compensation and authority as now con-
ferred by law on officers of the bureau of
the same grade.
The House proceeded to the considera-
tion of the Kentucky contested election
case of Brown and Smith.
During the debate Mr.. ALLISON report
ed from the Conference committee on the
cotton tax bill, and after animated discus
sion it was agreed TO.
Without coming to vote on the Ken
lucky election case the House adjourned.
