not been hanged, but taken to Fort Russell,
where he was put through a burlesque court
martial by the soldiers, and fined two dollars
and fifty cents. After the enforcement Of
this fine, he was tired again, and sentenced
to receive thirty blows from a "paddle,"
which sentence was also carried into effect.
"A third time was he tried, and this time
sentenced to be hanged, which sentence was
only prevented from being executed by the
officers, who here interfered, and placed the
man under guard. Facts developed during
the trial, show that only one child is dead,
while the other is still living, though in a
very precarious condition. The body of the
dead child has been exhumed and examined,
bat no traces of violence has been discov-
cred, and it is thought it came to its death
by neglect. 1t is thought the result of the
trial will be the discharge of the prisoner.
Cheyenne now boasts of a comfortable
school house, the building of which cost be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000. The entire sum
was raised by private subscription. 1t was
dedicated, last Sunday evening, to the cause
of free education, on which occasion some
fine addresses were delivered, choice singing
performed, and pleasant time had gener,
ally. The building of this school house by
the infant city of Cheyenne is exceedingly
creditable, and reflects the character of the
controlling class of the community, and JUS
titles the hope that an element exists in the
city which will some day redeem it from the
crime that now covers it like pail.

NEGRO AND CHINESE SUFFRAGE


We have San Francisco journals to Dec Q
containing the inaugural message of the
new Gov. Haight. The Governor says:
"The propriety of admitting the blacks &c
suffrage belongs TO each State to determine
for itself. Had Congress been able to con
troll this subject, both negro and Chinese
suffrage would probably have been forced
upon the people of California against the
will of the majority. Ignorance of the eff
ects of such legislation would have inflicted
upon US evils actually intolerable. So far
as California is concerned, the people of this
state have expressed their opposition both
to negro and Chinese suffrage. II is ques
ton not Of inahenable right, but simply Of
expediency. The question is, whether il
will be of the greatest good to the greatest
number to contine the elective franchise to
the whites, or to extend it 10 the negroes and
Chinese2
"a portion of those persons in this state
who favor negro suffrage hesitate to advo-
cate Chinese suffrage, but the Congressional
policy makes no distinction. On the con-
'rary, that policy proposes to ignore all dis
elimination in political privileges founded
on race or color: indeed, there is no line
that can be drawn, snless suffrage is con-
fined to the white population.
If 1t is question of Justice, as some as
sert, and justice requires the ballot to be
given to the negro, then it equally requires
the ballot to be given to the Chinaman
"lf the negro requires the ballot to pro-
tect himself, as the others assert; then the
Asiatic needs it TO protect himself There
is, however, no truth in either statement
No principle of justice is involved any more
than In the case of females, or minors, or
fore igners not NATURALIZATION does the ne
gro need the ballot 10 protect himself any
more than either of the other classes referred
to, On the contrary, il is for the good of
both those races that the elective franchise
should be confined to the whites The aid
OF Africans or Aslatics would be an evil and
not q benefit. 1t would introduce the antip.
athy Of race into our political contests and
lead to strife and blou1shed. The opposi-
ton to giving the negro and Asiatic the
ballot is not based upon prejudice or ill-wiIl
against those races, but upon a conviction of
the evils which wonld result to the whole
country from corrupting the source of polit-
ical power with elements so impure.
"Those inferior races have their rights. as
all good men desire they should have. They
can sue and be sued in the courts, acquire
and possess property; they have entire free
dom of person, and pursue any lawful occu
patton for livelihood, but they will never,
with the consent of the people of this state,
either vote or hold office"

ence, than we expected, less than we :deslr
ed to witness-yet there was enough to sho"
marked approval. Ole Bull was enthusiast
ically received, each of his efforts we'll ap
Dlauded. and his last-Recitative and Carni
val of Venice, composed by him, was SO en-
Enthusiastically encored that he could not re
fuse to favor the audience with another NOR
ceau not set down in the programme.
Mr.. Edward Hoffman, pianist, and Mad
anne Varian and Signor Ignatz Pollack, 70
calists, are first class artists, and received
well merited plaudits. The "Paraphrase de
Concert" of Mr.. Hoffman, was fine thing,
calling forth hearty applause. Madame Va
rian, in the "French Laughing Song, was
decidedly charming. She has sweet voice,
full of clearness and fexibility, which she
knows we'll how to control. She at once be,
came a favorite with the audience. Signor
Pollack, the baritone, possesses good voice
not powerful, but smooth and pleasing.
He sang the barcarola ''Il Marinaro" with
fine effect, and was loudly encored.
Ole Bull, with his troupe, is still at the
Rodman House, but they leave at AS this ev'
ening, by the Western Union road, for Free
port. Wherever he goes may he meet q
hearty welcome, due alike to the man OF
soul and genius, and the thorough artist who
is master of all the varied resources of that
most difficult and expressive of instruments
the violin.
We should not forget to say that the sue,
cess of Ole Bulls concerts is largely due
to Mr.. F. Widows, whose liberal and intelli
gent management places no stumbling
blocks in the road, but clears the way for a
success wherever he goes.
We have been requested to express the
grateful thanks of the manager to Mr.
Hutchins, of the Rodman House, for the
loan of his elegant piano for the concert
last evening,-and also for the unwearied
pains of all connected with the Rodman to
make their stay in this city as agreeable as
possible.

A Clerical Gent in Trouble at Usage.

Well authenticated reports from Usage in
Mitchell county, have done great damage to
the character of Rev. A. T. Loring, former
ly pastor of the congregational church in
this place. The substance of the report is,
that deacon in the church of winch he late
ly had charge at Usage, had for several months
suspected Mr.. LOring of being too intimate with
his (the deacon's) wife, but having no tan.
gible proof he did nothing in the matter
Lately, having occasion to leave his house,
he saw Loring coming toward the house with
the evident intention of calling. The dea-
con kept on his course long enough to salts
fy Mr. Loring that the coast was clear. He
returned to watch, however, as soon as Mr.. Lo-
ring entered the house. Going to the window,
the deacon saw the pastor in amiable CONVEX
satlon with the wife of the former, with the
latter arm around the woman's waist. The
deacon OF course thought it best to wait a
little longer, as 1t was a matter that needed
investigation. "When the cats AWAY. the
mice, etc, thought the deacon. The pair
then got up and walked into the bed room
adjoining the parlor, upon which the deacon
burst into the room, to the great consterna-
ton of the minister and deacon's wife. He
threatened to shoot them both unless thew
would confess, and his wife tremblinply ad-
mitted that Mr.. Loring had been very famil-
lar with her at different times, but that moth.
ing of criminality existed between them.
his was all he could extort from her or Lo-
ring. he did not stop at this. He obliged
Loring to resign the pastorate of the church,
and agree to leave town. Loring gave up
ms charge, and by the efforts of part of his
congregation obtained letter of withdrawal
IN good standing. But, as he still remained
IN the place, the deacon gave out that he
ih'enoed to commence legal proceedings
against Loring, upon which he left for Min
nesota. various stories have since been
set afioat. both at Usage and in Manchester.
OF his partiality for female socicety. but moth,
ing very definite. Mr.. Loring had warm
friends In this place, and was regarded as a
most exemplary man. The news of his sad
fall has shocked many here who formerly
thought very highly of him as a citizen and
as christian. 1t is matter of profound
egret that man that stood so high should
tall so low.-Manchester (Iowa) Union.

Springfield, Jan. sth, 1858.

Springfield, Jan. Sth, 1855 =
The democratic state central comm1ttee ~ e.
Springfield on this date, pursuant to car rom .
the executive committee. A full rePi osen'ae,on
from every portion of the state being present. the
no,;t;.o, s;,nat;on and rational future was the
sub;ect of earnest and careful consideration. The
faots which this CON sideration brought to the
t.a of the committee were, that the entire people
Of tba frnited states are laboring under burden
of federsl, state and local taxation such rs has
never been laid upon any people before. The
financial policy of the dominant party is such
that these burdens must inevitably increase if
the power of that party is continued. The OBJ
vious effect of this policy is to create q monied
aristrocracy. In addition to this general system
of oppression, large portion of the sovereign
states of the Union are not permitted to enjoy a
republican form of government, but are crushed
into the condition of dependent colonies by miil-
tary rule. This system of government is pursued
by the dominant party for the purpose OF thrust
ing upon the country the sufrages OF ia'e.S
emancipated slaves. The entire policy q 'he
dominant party is therefore confined to an enort
to retain the patronage of the goVernmen. oy
means of negro suffrage, and the influence OF the
influential corporations OF fhe country. lhese
facts being papable and undlsputed, the central
committee directed their executive committee to
call convention of the democracy of the state of
Illinois, to be held at Springfield, Illinois, on
Wednesday, April 18th, 1868, at IAN.
The democracy OF each county are therefore
notified to send delegates to said convention for
the purpose of declaring the principles which
shall actuate the democratic party in the next
presidential canvass; for the purpose of appoint
ing delegates to the national democratic eonven-
ton nominating electors for the state of Illinois;
for the nomination of candidates for state officers,
and for tie transaction of such other business
may come before the convention.
Each county will be allowed one delegate for
every three hundred 5000 votes cast for George
B. Mcclellan for president in 1854, and one dele
gate for fraction of l50 and over of said vote.
