Southern Violence.

a lady In Ohio tells us the follow
ing tale, illustrating the spirit of
bloody violence which still prevails to
an alarming extent at the South
Three years ago last spring my
husband purchased beautiful planta-
ton on the Arkansas river, forty miles
above Napoleon, and engaged in the
cultivation of cotton. He took negro
IabOrers with him from Cincinnati.
and settled them in neat cabins on the
plantation, each having a piece of
ground attached sufficient for a gar
den, etc. This, in addition to liberal
wages, placed them in better condition
than many of their white neighbors.
This was sore trial to the "ehivalry'
of altered fortunes. By avoiding all'
discussions of a political nature, and
attending strictly to the business of
his plantation, my husband managed
to live rather peacably with all classes
for more than two years. But that
secret Southern organization, so hos
tile to Northern civilization and true
liberty, had marked him for its victim
Accordingly, on the night of the 24th
of March, 1868, about 8 o'clock, while
seated at his desk writing letter,
coWardly assassin stole in front of the
window, and shot him through the
head, killing him instantly. Evidence
sufficient has been obtained to con-
vince US that the murder was commit
ted by resident of the place (Red
Fork who had sworn that mo North
ern man shall live in this community
who treats niggers like white folks. !"
And, true to that oath, they have sue
ceeded in either killing or driving
away every loyal Northern man from
that vicinity. And now their fair land
is left unto them desolate for they
have not capital sufficient to cultivate
their plantations, and the negroes have
no faith in the promises of their form
er masters, and consequently will not
work on the credit system. God only
knows what Is to become of this
wretched people, whose code of morals
| is symbolized in Whiskey, bowie
knives, and reYolvers, and who live in
open violation of all law, human and
| divine. During the war my husband
took an active part In all measures to
sustain the Government and put down
the rebellion, by giving freely Of his
means and by personal service. His
| fearless avoWal of and devotion to
principle not unfrequently called down
upon him the anathemas of Kentucky
rebels, who twice warned him to leave
! Covington, where we then resided,
| within twenty four hours, on peril of
his life. But it was reserved for trea-
son in another form to take his life.
[ hope, Mr.. editor, you will pardon me
for addressing you at length. My apoI-
ogy is that I thought you would be in
! teFested in knowing something of the
subscribers, who, though personally a
stranger, loved you as a brother for
the truths sake. .'-Nea0 York indie

The General Committee for the
management of the unofficial inaugural
ceremonies, have received the follow
ing letter
HEADo'Rs ARMY OF THE UNITED STATES,
WAsHINGToN, D. c.. January 20, 1869.
Thomas L. 4TEJock, Esq, Secretary DC.
Dear misunderstanding that the
Committee, of which you are Secretary
meet this evening, for the purpose of
arranging for the Inaugural Ball, I
venture to drop you line to say that
if any choice is left to me, | would be
pleased to see it dispensed with. I do
not wish to disarrange plans made by
my friends in the matter of ceremon-
les attending the Inauguration, but in
this matter it will be agreeable to me
if you committee should urge that the
ball is unnecessary.
With great respect,
Your obedient servant,

Remarkable Works of Human
Labor.

Nineveh was fourteen miles long,
eight wide, and forty miles round,
with a wall 100 feet high, and thick
enough for three ehariots abreast.
Babylon was fifty miles within the
walls, which were seventy-fve feet
thick and 100 high, with 100 brazen
gates. The temple ofDiana at Ephe-
sus, was 420 feet to the support of the
roof It was a hundred years in build.
ing. The largest of the pyramids is
481 feet high, and 653 on the sides
its base covers eleven acres. The
stones are about sixty feet in length,
and the layers are 20S. Il employed
$4,000 men in building. The Laby-
rinth in Egypt contains 100000 cham
bers and 12 halls. Thebes, in Egypt,
presents ruins twenty-seven miles
round. Athens was twenty five miles
round, and contained $4,000 citizens
and 400 slaves. The temple of De-
lphos was so rich in donations that it
was plunderad of fifty millions of dol
lars, and Nero carried from it two
hundred statues. The walls Of Rome
were thirteen miles round.

A woman's horticultural school, at
which the fair sex may be taught prac-
tical gardening in the summer and in
structed in the natural sciences during
the winter, will probably be started in
Massachusetts,. The plan is an excell-
ent one. The few departments of la
Dor to which women can now devote
themselves are greatly overstocked !;
hence, any project for extending the
field of their exertions should be en-
oouraged.

The Indiana Senatorial contest has
resulted in the withdrawal of Mr.. Cum
back and the election Of Hon. Daniel D.
Pratt, Of Logansport, to succeed Hen
dricks. The virtuous war made upon
Mr.. Cumback is novelty in politics,
and indicates a higher standard Of NOR
ality among Indiana politicians than
we would have given them credit for.
It is TO be hoped the boilers and their
friends Will hereafter practice them
selves the political virtues they have
exacted from others. Mr.. Pratt is said
to be an able and good man.

When two Southern gentlemen" af-
ter getting drunk, proceed to shoot or
stab each other, the local papers call il
"a difficulty" When a freedman is
lynched for any offense, the fact is
chronicled under some such head as
"Crime and RetributiOn-A Black
Fiend meets his Doom" When loyal
white is massacred, the fact is refer
red to as the melting out of public indig
nation against q scalaWag. When,
however, efforts are made to suppress

A convict in the Ohio Penitentiary
attempted to murder one OF the guards
named W. H. Penne1I on Wednesday
of last week. The convict, who was
desperate character, threw hatchet at
Mr.. Pennell, striking him in the head
and carrying off a portion of his skull.
The motive for the deed seems to have
been fancied provocation, or rather,
mere caprice. The injured man is like

The State of Ohio seems to be un-
fortunately situated in respect to the
relations which its Legislature bears
to the United States Senatorship from
that State,-that body being Demo-
cratic, while the two sitting Senators
are Republican, The result is that
the Legislature remained in session
last year about two months longer than
usual, awaiting the issue of the i'm
parchment trial, with the intention,
in the event of Mr.. Wade being ele-
vated to the Presidency of sending a
Democrat in his place. Their expec-
tation is again excited In the same di-
reetion by the rumors that Mr.. Sher-
man is to be invited to place in Presi-
dent Grants Cabinent, an the pFoba-
bility Is that both houses will SIT until
after the 4th of March to catch this
plum in case it should fall. In the
meantime, it is said, Mr.. Sherman's
special fitness for the Secretaryship Of
the Treasury was never so generally
understood and conceded among his
political opponents as now. But as
the cost Of the Legislature to the
State is governed by the length Of its
sessions, this waiting for dead mems
shoes is a little rough on tax payers.
