A Model Democrat.

we refer to Brick PoMERoY, or call
In question his views, for fear we will
receive another moral lecture from
his friend and champion, thesCowier,
But PoMEROY is representative
Democrat, and his paper, the La
| Crosse Democrat, is said to have a
larger circulation than any other
organ of that party IN this county.
He is, by all odds the most popular
of Democratic editors. IF the Courier

PoMERoY's gems in advance of it, we

The Frankfort Mob.

w e seriously offended our usually
amiable Courier, some days ago, by
stating that the negro who was muir
dered in frankfort, Kentucky, by a
mob, would have proved an alibt had
he been granted trial II very in
dignantly demanded our authority
for such statement, and seemed to
think it impossible that the negro
hung could have been innocent. We
find the facts in the case in the
Frankfort Commonwealth, from which
we make the following extract. Will
the Courier have the fairness to copy
it?
Mr.. John Henderson, a coal dealer
and man of reliability, states to us
that on the day on which the deed
was committed, he was engaged with
a number of hands, in hauling coal
from the river bank above the wood
en- bridge He had a boat anchored
in the river, some ten feet from the
wharf, to which single plank was
run out. The carts were backed up
to the edge of the wharf. and
the coal was brought In Jumps from
the boat along this plank and thrown
into the carts. During the early part
of the morning, he had two hands en-
ployed in carrying coal. Finding they
could not keep the carts going, he
hired the negro who was hung, Jim
Mackiin, who began work at IL
o'clocksA4 NJ. The negro was put in
the boat with the other tWo.ss Mr.,
Henderson stood at the end of the
plank, on theawhaff, from noon till
the whistle of the steam mill blew at
81 o'clock in the, evening. aver being
absent therefrom except from one TO.
two minutes, when he, with the three
hands, went to the fire on shore to
warms sand returned Immediately.
His presence was required at the end
of the. plank in order to prevent the
carts from backing into the river. He
never left his station for single mo.
ment save as above mentioned, and
during all this time the negro Jim was
at work in the boat and ,neyerr went
out of his sight. 80 {. 8 = .sasats
When the alarm was given that the
girl had fallen over the cliff. the ne
gro jim was in the boat When the
officers came to arrest him, he in ]
formed them that the negro was limo D
cent and had been with him during
the entire time when the offense was
alleged to have been committed. 8 To
the truth of these facts Mr.. Hendsr--
son states he is willing to make oath,
and that they are corroberated by his
son, Robert Henderson, and by Thos.
Bybee. Richard Chiles, John Shan
non, ana Richard Penlin-all white
men, and engaged In work at the
wharf-and by some seven negroes,
likewise employed at the wharf. MIR.
Henderson further states that when
he was informed the negro was to be
hung by the mob, he went to the
Catholic priest aud asked him to in
tercede with them and obtain a trial
for the negro. The priest did so, but
his efforts proved unavailiug.

The New York World is outraged
because the millionaires have declared
for GRANT; but it will have cause for
a more genuine rage when it discoV-
ers that not only the millionaires, but
the millions, demand his election to

THERE will be a grand GRANT
meeting in Union Square, New York,

number of distinguished speakers
have agreed to be present, and the
occasion will be the formal opening Of

THE Newark New Jersey Courier
thinks the candidate for Vice Presi-

presses its preference for CoLFAx,
because he would add more vitality
to the GRANT ticket than any other
