CRIME
Two Negro Girls Violated, Riddled
With Bullets, and their Bodies
Thrown into n Creek.

With Bullets, md their Bodies
Thrown into Greek.
A fr;ehtful tale of outrage and muir
der comes to us from the eastern por-
tion of this county, on the borders OF
Jefferson, Spencer and Bullitt. On Sat
urday night last gang of rutfians, con
sisting of two men by the name of
Watts, two by the name of Brumley,
two by the name of Hardin, and one
whose name is withheld, because he has
not yet been arrested, visited the farm
of John Mckinley, aud stealing twelve
of his hogs, drove them off. AS they
were leaving the place, they met two
negro girls and two negro lads, and,
pressing them inte service, made them
drive the hogs over into Spencer coun'
ty, distance of about q mile and a
quarter.
After reaching their destination, the
villains seized the colored girls, and
after grossly outraging their persons,
set them up fer targets, and shot their
bodies full of bullets, then threw the
corpses into Plum creek, where they
were found yesterday, horribly mutilat-
ed and pierced by no less than eleven
balls.
The negro boys, while the shooting
was going on, managed to escape, and
the news of what had been done was
quickly spread by them. The most in
tense excitement followed, and the
whole country was aroused. A large
party of men set out from the Mckinley
neig ghborhood in pursuit Of the murder
ers, and yesterday came up with them
at Mt. Washington, Bullitt county,
where the outlaws were surprised, and
all but one of them captured. The cap
tors took them TO Taylorsyille, Spencer
county, under the impression that they
would be tried there, and placed them
under q heavy guard, but yesterday
started on with them TO this city, where
they were expected to arrive last night
The hogs they had stolen were all re-
covered.
The gang who committed the depre-
dations is one which has long infested
that section, rObbing and plundcrlng
without stint, and almost miraculously
escaping the clutches of the law. They
are suspected of bring the parties who
broke into the house of Mr.. Joe Walker
and robbed him of 5000 in gold, about a
HOulu aSO. 1uSS nave sChOA1t ASS
devious on Dutchman's Greek, where q
number of degraded women have also
settled, and from this pestiferous COM
munity much of the violence asd out
rage which the people have been COM
PEELED to endure has come.
The Watts and Brumleys are from
Spencer county, and the Hardins came
from Washington county. The field OF
their operations is only about twenty
miles from this city, and heretofore
many Of the crimes they have commit
TED have beea charged upon thieves and
robbers supposed to have sailed out
from Louisville.
The names of the parties who made
/ the capture, SO far as we could learn,
were Abraham Former, Van Former,
John Mckinley, Robert Caruthers, Asa
Rincheloe, VIM. Jennings and Daniel
Mckinley. Others, whose names have
not come to us, aided in the capture.
The prisoners will probably be taken
before the United States Court.-Louis.

Hon. y. B. Smithers who addressed the meeting
in an elaborate and eloquent speech upon the
questions of reconstruction, debt and taxation.
He earnestly maintained that negro suffrage was
not one Of the issues Of this campaign, that it
was settled by the Chicago platform which left
every State free to act for itself but the only way
by which the seeding States could be reconstruc-
ted was by giving the ballot TO those who were
in favor and fought to maintain the Government
in its dark hour Of trial. He said the debt OF ON
country was large, but the perpetuity Of our free
government was worth ten times the debt aud
whatever debt was fastened upon the country was
done through the action of the Rebels and theii
friends, the Democratic party He showed thai
all the legislation of the Republican party was n
favor of the poor man, who had no Government
tax to pay unless he smoked cigars and drank
whisky.
Owing to the wet afternoon and the GOODNESS
OF the weather, the meeting was not held to d
late hour but in the evening the large parlors o
