He Murders Three Women and "a Boy
and Is Afterwards Captured
From the Sanford Ky Banner. Dec. ;.
On Thursday night last, n young man
by the name Of Logsden was guilty Of a
very bloody deed IN FentreS county.
Tennessee, about fourteen miles rom,
Albany. Logsden went to the house Of
a woman who, it is supposed, had some
money-$S0 or Sl00-and, with an Ak,
killed the woman by splitting her head,
then attacked the grown daughter, who,
from the bruises upon her arms, seemed
to have attempted to defend herself
But he succeeded in killing her, then
killed a small girl, about six or
seven years old, and severely if
not mortality wounded a small boy
about ten years old, then robbed the
house and fled. The boy sufficiently re-
vived to make known the name of the
murderer TO the citizens, who imme-
diately gave pursuit by getting the
Sheriff from Fentress, and also Col. Nor
rison, the Sheriff Of Clinton, who pur-
sued Logsden, tracking him all the way
to Liberty, at which place they became

some Of the citizens of HustOnville

been in HustOnville to purchase a gun

on that day "wednesday sent woman

He had blood still on his shirt, and some

| 1t appears that the tactics ofthe South
4 ern wing of the white Mans Party u
have changed, and that the extermina-
| ting warfare hitherto declared upon
! "niggers " has been transferred to the
white Radicals. Honeyed phrases, music
aid good vituals are held out to the col.
! ored men as inducements to attend the
! Democratic NEE ings, and the bitter de-
nunciatiOns heretofore hurled at them so
| numerically a1e now addressed to the
white Republicans.
| Some days ago the Nashville RePubli-
can Banner, the organ of the Ku Klux
KIan, contained the following atrocious
sentiment:
"We advocate no quarter SOith l0ltite
| Radicals, who are the most dangerous
and treacherous enemies that ever cursed
q community. No effectual remedy can
be applied to them out social OstracisBs.
The only a0dy to deal aDith reptiles such as
/ they is by universal and uncedsing pro
scription. This is our remedy for the re-
moval of the political pestilence which
has infested this community for three
long and weary years, and which will
infest it for an eternity il we do not apply
a remedy at once decisive. practical, ef-
fective, and without delay.n
In another issue of the same villainous
sheet is the following:
".Sociat ostrdcisna for Radicals aohite
odUent,trers and piatnderers ! Patronage,
money, i0dges, help, kindness, sympathy.
and good tViU for anti Radicals, black or
,Dhite! That's the material element Of
success. Let 1t be applied and employed
vigorously, universally, and Icithout coar-
ing"
Such are the sentiments of the Ku
Klux Klan throughout that State; and
such is a foreshadowing of the fate which
awaits all Union men South, if the hopes
of these miscreants shall be realized in
the election of Seymour and Blair.

Speech of E1-secretary stanton.

The concluding portion of the speech
of Ex-Secretary Stanton, at Steuben-
vile, was as follows:
The war debt of the United States is
variously estimated at from two to three
thousand millions of dollars. 1t was a
debt created to place million of soldiers
in arms, the largest army that ever
marched upon this globe under one ban
ner, and the most formidable navy that
ever floated upon the waves Of the ocean.
and it represents a thousand achieve
ments that would render any nation
upon earth renowned in history to the
end of all time. Now the items of this
debt can be ascertained with certainty
in most cases and in others approximate
ed. and L ask you to say which of them
you will lop off. 1t is not a question
that affects Forrest or Beauregard orany
one beyond the rebel lines, because they
meanto pay no debt; but how much of
this war debt will you repudiate? repre-
senting, as it does, the great achieve
ments of our army and navy. Behold
the items: The report of the Paymaster
General shows that the largest sum of
these Eexpenses, namely, 81, ,O29 ,479, 900
was for the pay of the army; $3.50, 900
would cover the whole pay of the army
disbanded, and the pensions of widows,
orphatls and disabled soldiers.
The Quartermaster's which is the
next largest expense, is thus specified:
for the further supplies of clothing, tents
and camp equipage and other stores nec-
essary, two hundred millions would be
a reasonable estimate; for horses forage,
for cavalry, mules, and wagons and their
transportation, three hundred millions
more were required; for steam rams,
ships, railroads, building of steamers,
purchase of engines, iron and cars, four
hundred millions more for the susie
nance of the army and its medical sup
plies, 300imillions would be n liz raj es-
innate; for artillery, ordnance and am
munitiOn, 200 millions more would not
be unreasonable. The whole expense of
the navy for the years sof the war was
$50 millions, and can not exceed three
Hundred millions. These are the items
of thelwar debt. Now, as we had to
raise an army to maintain our existence,
where is t he man that would rob the
soldier of his pay? If there is such q
one let him vote against Grant. Where
is theman that would plumber the wild
ow or orphan, or the ybereayed parent
who sits helpless by the freside? Ifyou
have an army you must have tents and
clothing for them, for where is the man
that would have q soldier lie on the bare
ground i or 70 marching naked through
the rebel country? You must have
horses and forage and your cavalry must

The Democratic Programme.

The people are getting their eyes open
| to the meaning and effect of the iourtn
plank of the Democratic platform, which
| calls FOR equal taxation of "every species
| OF property, according 10 its real value,
| for the purpose of supporting the FEEDER
al Government.
Congress has removed taxation from
ten thousand articles Of dom este con-
sumption. In short, taxation has been
removed from pretty much everything
except liquors and tobacco, banks and
insurance companies, large incomes and
foreign goods. But the Democratic par
ty, under its doctrine of equal taxation
of everything, will restore all the prop
erty the Republicans have exempted,
including farms, lots, houses, live stock,
produce, furniture, etc The South Bend
Register thus sums up the Democratic
scheme of equal taxation: g.
If She Democratic party is successful
in the coming election, the sentiment of
the above resolution will be carried out
Equal tax will be levied on every species
OF property, and you will see Democratic
taX-gatherers in every street, lane high
way and by-way of the land, demanding
and collecting from you taxes upon
Your farm.
Your house and lot.
Your horses, cattle, sheep, hogs, pouI-
try, and other stock.
Your wheat, oats, corn and other grain
hay, fruit, vegetables, and whatever else
is raised upon your farm.
Rour reapers, mowers, plows, harrOws,
and all your agricultural implements.
Your wagons, carriages and sleighs,
dc.
Your tools, with which you prosecute
your trade, be you blacksmith, earpen-
ter, wagonmaker, or not.
The clothes Yourself and family wear.
The food you eat.
The tea and coffee you drink.
The pot in which it is boiled.
The cup out of which you drink it.
The sugar to sweeten it.
Every particle of food you eat.
The stove on which you cook it.
The wood and coal you use.
Your carpets, chairs, tables and other
furniture.
The bed you sleep on.
And lastly, the coffin and. shroud in
which you are buried, and harrassed to
death by Democratic taxgathers under
Democratic administration which tax
ed everything equal.
And for what?
Simply that the bonds may be taxed.
Yes, this Democratic equality would
place tax upon nearly seventeen bill
lions of dollars worth of property in
farms, live stock, houses, eatables, cloth
ing, etc., for the sake of having tax
upon five hundred millions of bonds
held by individuals in New York and
New England, all the rest of the bonds
being taxed as shares of stocks in banks,
insurance and other business, are out of
the country.
Do you want to pay this enormous
tax? sE I.t-
If you do vote the Democratic party
into power, and heavy as your taxes have
been i'll the past, they are nothing to
what you will have to pay under Demo-
cratic rule.
Remember that equal taxation, as ex-
pressed in the Democratic platform taxes.
