rlENDIsH OUTRAGE IN ALABAMA
The Ku.Klux and ThsiY War CFy-Th
Torch - Tell the Tale.

From the Alabama State Journal, October 5.
On yesterday evening Hon. r. N. Barr the
very worthy and distinguished member from
Monroe, received . letter from his wife,
stating that on Friday night last some per.
sons unknown set ere to his fine lumber mill
and all ofahis outhonses Ut the Same time,
and they we're all burned to ashea
DR.. Il N. Barr Was Ut one time Surgeon
General of the State Of Ohio, and after the
war settled in Alabama, bought him fine
plantation in Monroe county, and engaged in
the planting Of cotton. He lost i'm mediatelv
ia this investment, but still battled on against
the adverse fortunes that fate was throwing
upon him. In February last he was elected
State Senator from Monroe county, and dur
ing his occupancy of bis seat has been noted
for his prudent views, his harmonizicg policy
and strict integrity.
Some time since he WAS threatened With
the torch, if he didn't mind Last Friday
night the dastardly and 6endish threat was
carried into execution, and an American
citizen property has been burned because
he dared to stand true and firm TO the flag
OF his country.
Republicans Of Alabama, The time TO try
your stern devotion TO principle, and to test
your integrity has come. STAND TRUE TO THE
TEACHINGS OF PKACE. Bear up yeta little
while longer under the terrible oppression
that is upon you. Be prudent. Do NOT retail
ate. Suffer almost anything, re ,cant no .car.
STAND TRUE TO THE FLAG OF THE
UNION; AND IL WILL BE TRUE TO
YOU. The eyes Of loyal North are upon u.s.
They plead with us to forbear. Let US do Il.
and in its own good time power will rise
up 70 crush rebellion and reward loyalty.

ALMANACs FOR 1909.

A glance over the Almanacs lying on Lows
rvs counter, At tho News Depot, will DO suf-
6cient to satisfy any person that there has
been quite as much progress in that depart
nav. &c literature and art, during the last
half century, as IN any utnrr.
Our contemporaries cannot fail to remem-
Der, in the days Of their boyhood, the inev-
table stereo,yped Almanac, with the from
tisrece illustration OF the man with the many
signs Of the Zodiac, pointing At the shame
faced body Of naked human being, as the
principal illustrative design, followed rossi-
bly, by four bupgling wood cuts representing
The seasons printed on soft and dingy pa
per, in the blacklist black ink, and with the
narrowest practical margins.
In the place Of these Anticipated and sober
that might be expected, we find splendid
Animals on the incest ated paper, with the
most perfect steel, mezzotint and colored en-
cravings. And some Of these have enter,
tanning and instructive reading sufficient to
occupy the leisure hours ef the winter even
ings.
Amongst those which have already come
to hand we note:
Frank Leslie's Lady's Illustrated Al
manac,
Demorests Illustrated Parlor Almanac,
Appleton's Illustrated Almanac,
which makes . specially Of Game Birds
and their haunts for every month ofthe year.
The Atlantic Almanac, by Donald g..
Mitchell, is larger and finer than any Of
these. with apt and handsome illustrations OF
the seasons, and Fine Art illustrations for
each month in the year, and many articles in
prose and verse from the pens of our most
popular literary characters.
The Almanac is much more attractive in
stitution now than in days Of yore.

DEATH or cEsEaAL mArTHIEs

his with feelings Of most painful regret
We learn, from the Burlington papers, that
General G. L. Matthies, Of Burlington, 10
dead.
He died last Friday, after a sickness Of A
couple Of weeks, from congestion OF the
liver and bowels.
General Matthies WAS kind hearted, gen.
,al, generous man and warm friend.
The Hark- Eye has this brief biographical
notice of the General:
Charles Leopold Mstthie. was Russian BY
birth, having been born in Bromberg on the 3lst
Of May, 1924. His father. an sftiuent fsrmer'
rent him to the University at Halle, where he 70
ceived thorough military education. AT the age
OF twenty he entered the Russian army, hut re,
signed hi CON isslon in 1913, and came to this
country, arriving in New York ID the spring Of
ls49, aod soon after settled In this city. About
the tiusof the breaking out Of the rebellion, he

ter part Of July, he wss commissioned Lieutenant
Colonel Of the 9Th lows iAflatry, and after the
death Of Colonel Worthington was promoted TO
the Colonelcy Of that regiment In April, 1869.
he was made Brigadier General In the volunteer
| service.
We cannot here 90 into the particulars Of Gen.
| Mathies' patriotic and faithful military services.
We believe il 10 be the testimony Of 81 his COM
! rades that no better soldier, more generous
hearted man, and no truer patriot drew his sword
or shouldercd his musket in defense Of his native
| or his adopted land than Charles l.. Matthic'. |,
is not too much TO say, that he sincerely loved
by his own men and by his brother officers. Brave
and true, and generous almost to fault, he crap
| pled his friends to him with hooks of steel.
Two years ago he was taken up BY the Repuh
Iicans Of this county for the State Senate, being
| nominated without opposition and elected in the
same way, and held the office ut the time of biz
death. This people, not only Of this city and
county, but Of large part of the State where b.
was known, delighted to recognize his sterling
qualities Of head and heart. He was true dem
ocrat, in the best sense Of that word, and warm
friend Of freedom and equal rights. He WAS es-
pscialy solicitous that the amsndmen.s TO oul
State Constitution, giving the ballot to the negro
should be adopted, and while his health permitted
did effective work in the canvasa.

TIE Democratic party il sadly demoralized.
The leaders in New York on the reception
Of the news of the result Of the October
elections got into quite muss, and por-
lion Of them were very anxious to change
platform aud candidates in a desperate effort
to retrieve the Lost Cause of the Democratic
politicians. This movement was opposed,
and finally squelched by the sympathzers
and Rebel leaders, who are now in the al,
cendant in the management of the party, re-
fused to change the programme. And so the
party will hold together, not without much
pickering and serious disintegration till after
the election. Then it will 90 into bankrupt-
cy aud be closed out.
The present attitude Of the party is pitia,
bly, ridiculous, and thousands upon thousands
will curse it and quit it during the next fort
night.

THE Democratic leaders don't seem to care
much what kind Of Platform Of principles
they have, or Who their candidates, only so
they can elect them.
