The Milwaukee Daily Sentinel Of the
9th, contains the following. We omit the
large letter heading:
One Of the most attrocious crimes that
has taken place in our city for many years
occurred at the house of Levi Tate, in the
Fourth Ward, on Monday night. 1t seems
that white girl, nearly I5 years of age,
was wandering about the city on Monday
last with neither friends or home to 60 to-.
She happened to attract the notice Of a ne
gro named Levi Tate, resident of the
Fourth Ward, who invited her to come to
his home and stay over night. she accept
ed the invitation with thanks. In the
course of the evening q negro man named
William Wylie, l9 years Of age, who has
been in the employ of S. L. Hooker, ESQ.,,
for the past four years, came in. and pro-
posed to remain at the house during the
night. Shortly after the girl had retired
to rest he went to her bed, and by persist
ent attempts succeeded in outraging her
person. She screamed loudly and endea-
vored with all her strength to repel the
wretch, but although Tate and his wife
must have heard her cries. they offered no
interference. A knowledge of these facts
coming to the police, complaint was
made and Wylie was arrested for the crime
and Tate and his wife Mary, as accessory
to it. If the facts are as stated, of which
there seems to be no reasonable doubt.
we trust the severest punishment that can
be inflicted under the statute, will be Wis
tied upon the fellow and his accomplices.
The local editor of the Sentinel evinces
proper indignation at this forced, unnat-
ural connection. Rape is iendship in
the same colors, but doubly fiendship when
Africans violate the person of an innocent
white girl. S. T. Hooker, gray-haired.
old Abolitionist, for whom Mister Wylic
worked four years, doubtless taught the
young black that all are now on an "equa.
lity before the law" Verify the hatched-
out colorcd chickens are coming home to
roost. Mr.. Hooker is a prominent citizen
Of Milwaukee, and, though innocent of
this sin, yet his teachings led in the direc-
ton of freedom which in that race,
leads to RIGHTEOUSNESS.

WHOLE No. $50.
For Pendleton.

For Pend1eton.
The Chicago Times, a paper that reioic-
ed when Lincoln was murdered by one of
its party, has pronounced in favor Of Gro.
H. Pendleton, for President.
We clip the above from radical paper.
1t is not true that the Chicago Times re-
joiced at the murder Of Lincoln. The ed
itor who penned the above unjust fling at
the Times, and the party which, in gen.
eral way, it represents, may have heard it
so often as to believe it, but we defy the
most Industrious and weasel-eyed radical
to show anything Of the kind in the Times
during the "rejoicing' or mourning peri
cd. Preachers rejoiced publicly, and in
pords, actually ascribcd the removal Of
Lincoln to wise Providence who design
ed to place in position one who would not
be so charitable to the defeated rebels
Do you recollect most reverend gentle
men, and you We ultra loyal chaps, how
impossible it was to disguise y Cur inl
piness at the anticipated succession of
one who was going to "punish traitors 7'
You were not rejoicing" then, were you,
at the substitution of an apostate demo-
crat supposed to be armed with cruelty
enough to satiate your demand for blood,
for one whose leniency, whose kindness
towards the southern people had actually
begun to knit together the broken frag-
ments of that Union which you seem to
have determined never shall be united
The democratic party en- masse, brutal ex-
ceptions we admit, deplored the death of
one so influential with his party, and who
evinced, months prior to his taking of"
so much interest in harmonizing sectional
feeling: they were as suspicious of johnson
as the radicals were confident Of his kill
ing qualities. Why, even Pomeroy, Of
La Crosse, the worst man of all whose
sympathies were supposed to be identified
with our party to certain extent, wrote
most beautiful, touching, and as we be-
lieve, sincere record Of sympathy at the
tine.
Go slow, Messrs. RAIDS, on your are.
joicing' stories. Your political divincs
and your editors said in effect Thank
God for the removal of Mr.. Lincoln! lie
was too easy. In the person of MIR. john
son we will have President who will use
the prison and the rope instead of sympa-
thy and forgiveness" Didn't you?
a party that can sustain itself only by
the baldest Misrepresentation is not long
for this world. The knell Of disintegra.
ton has already rung for it few more
convulsions such as last falls elections
gave it will witness the burial of the great
est mass of political putridity that ever
disgusted free people. When that time
comes, and come it 1cill, soon too, we will
"rejoice'' openly, that corruption, though
fancying itself well fixed in power, has
been driven from places it disgraced, by
the honest ballots Of the American people.
