The RAvIsHERs LYScHED.-We have an
nounced the horrid news of the violation of
an unfortunate young white girl by two
negroes near Front Royal, county town or
courthouse of Warren county. The young
lady's name was Alice Thompson, daughter
of Thomas J. Thompson, residing near Hap
Ply Creek Station, Orange, Alexandria and
Manassas railroad. The negroes-Charles
Brown and Jacob Berryman-werep promptly
arrested and committed to jail in Front
Royal. Under the apprehension that they
would be lynched the jail was guarded seve-
raj nights.
The committing magistrates sent the ac-
cused on for trial before the circuit court
on the 25th of August.
The Alexandria Gazette gives the follow
ing as the statement of the young lady:
She said that the arrested men were those
who had attacked her that she had first
noticed them standing by the fence on the
side of the road about half q mile from
Front Royal, and paid no attention to them,
but that after proceeding some distance fur
Their on she observed that they were coming
on behind her, and feeling little uneasy,
she fastened her steps, but found to her
great alarm that they were gaining upon
her. When she looked around again she
observed that only one was in sight. The
other had circlcd around in the woods, and
came out again in front of her just as she
approached deep cut in the railroad, and
selling her by the hand, dragged her into
the woods, pointing pistol at her head and
threatening her with instant death if she
offered any resistance.
When in the woods he caught her by the
throat and threw her to the ground. After
that she recollects nothing except that upon
rising from the ground and lettering to-
wards the road the same one who had thrown
her down again took hold of her and pushed
her towards the other, who was standing
near by, and though doing as he directed
her, she had strength enough to shrek
before he reached her, and that that shrek
attracted the attention Of man who was at
work in field near by, at whose approach
her assailants fed.
As may readily be imaged, the narration
of this incident occasioned the most intense
eGClLencUt III TIE uuluuo VI al WIZ bS"i "
it, and threats Of lynching the criminals
were so current in the neighborhood that
the jail for some days and nights was
guarded by strong force of armed men.
On Thursday the guard was removed,
and on that night they were lynched, as we
learn by telegraph. The Gazette says:
At O'Clock A. M. a body of disguised
men surrounded the Jail, one of whom
knocked at the door, which being opened,
the jailor had Colts pistol presented at
his head, and demand made for the keys
of the cell in which the prisoners were con-
fined. The demand could not, under the cir
cumstances, be resisted, and the key was
delivered. The jailor was then locked up
in his own room, and knows nothing more
of what TRANSFERRED. Nor can any more
facts be elected, except that the cell in
which the prisoners were locked up was
empty this morning, and that the mail-boy
from Luray passed about daylight this
morning, on the road to Front Royal, a
number of strange looking men.

FACTS TELL

FACTS TELL : Some good, well
meaning folks, who are not thoroughly
posted on the subject, are inclined to
doubt the necessity of the Fox and
Wisconsin Improvement, and also the
proftableness of the undertaking if it
should be completed. The principal
value of the improvement will doubtless
be for the through traffic from the
Mississippi to the Lakes, but there
seems to be reason to believe that the
way business alone would be of suf-
fcient Importance to make the enter
prise paying one. In support Of this
view we call attention to the facts con
tanned in the following paragraph
taken form the Portage City Register
Of the 10Th. The "Albaay" is a boat
which was put on the route between
that place and Sank City the present
season as a matter of experiment.
Business on the Wisconsin river con-
times lively. The owners of the
Albany, finding themselves entirely I'M
able to carry off the large amount of
wheat accommodating at Sank, are en-,
deavoring to procure other boats to as
sist them. We understand that a
couple of boats from the Fox will make
trip down to Sank next week to as
sist in taking away the surplus, and
the Portage IS expected from Green
Bay to assist the Granite State in
moving the wheat that has accumulated
in WENTWORTH elevator here.

THE DIVISION OF THE FIRST JUDI
CIAL CIRCUIr--The division of this
judicial circuit has become a necessi-
ty that can not in justice to the people
be much longer postponed, and it is
quite likely that an effort will be made
in the next Legislature to have a bill
passed providing for such division.
Judge Lyon is one Of the hardest
worked men on the bench in this State,
and has the faculty to dispatch bust
ness as promptly as any one, but he
finds it absolutely impossible to perform
the labor that is now required of him.
1t is proposed to take Jefferson county
from the Madison circuit-Wauk esha
from the Milwaukee circuit and throw
Naukesha, WalWorth, Racine and Ke-
nosha into one circuit, and Jefferson,
Rock and Green into the other. This
would make a division Of labor that
would greatly relieve the Madison and
Milwaukee circuits, and still be fair d.
vision of the population in the two
circuits most interested in it. At the
last presidential election the total vote
of the counties of Jefferson, Rock and
Green was 1874, anda that of Keno
sha, Racine, WalwoIth and Waukesha
was 10, 433, there being difference of
only 7l9 votes iu the two proposed
circuits. -JanesUiIEe Gazette

Our readers are familiar with the
details of the Portage and Xii ourn
City tragedies which have lately oc-
cupied 80 much Of the public attention.
These terrible occurrences have had
the effect Of reviying the old questions
In regard to the most suitable means
of pun ishing criminals convicted OF
wilful murder. There can be no doubt
that the local press of Sank and Col
umbia counties represents the senti-
ment of the people of that section IN
iustifying the act Of lynching Pat
Vildrick. Calm, unexcitable, law
abiding citizens speak fit as not on
ly warrantable deed, but also as one
which the duty and right Of selfd de
tense rendered necessary. Il cannot
be denied that their reasoning is plaus-
ible at least They had seen a des-
perate VILLAIN, notorious for his crimes,
go unpublished until he had become a
terror to the whole community. By
his midnight thievings and open rob
berries he had accumulated a large
amount of property, and was allowed
70 enjoy it undisturbed. He had
shown himself capable Of taking HUI
man life for the purpose of carrying
out his designs. Yet, ia view of all
this, he was allowed by the leniency
of the law and g officers to run at
large and continue his villainous prac-
tees upon the community. Despair
ing Of redress for the past or security
for the future the people who had 50
long suffered from his depredations,
resolved to put the desperate out of
existence, and so ensure themselves
against the possibility Of his continu
ing them further. 1t cannot be de-
MED that it is deep aud terrible dis
grace to any State to have such an act
as the lynching of Wildrick occur in
it, but it certainly is greater disgrace
that the code of criminal law in State
shou Id be such that peaceable and
law abiding comm unity should in any
case consider it necessary to resort to
such extreme means to obtain justice
and protection. We believe that
there cannot be any doubt in the
minds Of the people Of Wisconsin gen
orally that we need different and more
stringent regulations in regard to cap
ital offenders. The very least that can
be asked is that persons indicted for
wilful murder, shall not in any case
be admitted to bail, and, if proven
guilty by positive evidence, shall be
inn risonod for life and the pardoning
power of the Governor wholly restrict
cd as to their case. Where a man has
shown that he can deliberately take
the life of his fclIowmen, he should no
more be allowed to go at large than if
he were mad dog or Bengal tiger.
The principal object Of criminal pun
lshmcnt, as we understand it, is 10 pro-
tcct society through the prevention of
crime, and it is becoming a matter of
very general belief that this end is best
secured by means Of severe and una
voldable penalties, and, in extreme ca
scs by the infiction of capital punish
ment. Let men who premeditate muir
der hno'o that, if they are convicted of
the crime, their own lives will paw the
forfeit then if they choose to 20 on.
let them suffer the consequences of
their ofense according to the letter and
spirit Of the law.
