An Awful crime.

We have this morning to record one
of the most terrible Oulrages ever
committed, crime which. for tendlsh
atrocity is almost unequalled, and Tor
which. If the perpetrators are not
hung. it will certain y be time for
change In the administration of our
laws. On last Saturday night party
Of five men went 10 the house of
wood chopper, about a mile and a half
from Taylorsville, Bartholomew Coun-
ty, whose name we could not learn,
and two of them persOnating officers,
called him out. Answering their sum-
mons he was seized and tied in an out
house: the men then went into the
house and all outraged his wife, who
had been married but few months
and was pregnant.
On Sunday night, the same party
and two other young men, went to the
house of man named BallOu, whose
wife was far gone in pregnancy, and,
after tieing him, violated her person.
| Night before last, the first woman,
who was the daughter of Mrs. Rich
| ardson, Of Franklin, died, and Mrs.
/ Balou, when last heard from, had
suffered a miscarriage, and was not
expected to live As soon as the in
telligeuce spread abroad, the citizens
turued out to arrest the perpetrators,
one of whom they secured, but the
rest had fed. Yesterday morning,
another one, named j. McEvernu,
who had been traced to this city, was
arrested by policemen Duvall and
| Stevens, at the home of his brother
in,law, on Bright Street. He was
sent down to Taylorsville. The leader
of the gang is said to be schoo
teacher, named l.. Schooler, who has
hitherto stood very high. Some weeks
since, the people Of Taylorsville re-
qucsted him to take the school there
but he refused, giving as a reason
tha the old teacher had family, anC
he did not wish to supplant him. Witt
ali his generosity, he seems to hav
been as great villain as ever wen
uuhung. State Sentinel, 18th.

Jsmes Howasd, ct Jejfa4s aavilta,
nas received the oont tract for ndilding
a magnificent steamer for the Louis
Vile and Cincinnati Mail lime, to
take the place of the ill -fated] Amer
lea. The new boat is to be 260 feet
long, SO feet beam, 81 feet hold, and
is to be a model of beauty and speed.
In at least four counties the law
recently passed, authorizing the re-
moval of county seats, will be taken
advantage of. In Wayne it is pro-
posed to move the county seat from
Centerville to Richmond; in Clark,
from Charleston to Jeffersonville; in
Jackson, from Brownsville to Sey
mour, and in Clay, from Bowling
Green to Brazil.
The Newcastle Courier records the
following instance of a stinging con-
science. It is a good thing that eve
rybody is not so tender, or we might
be better off: Thirteen years age a
countryman bought set of harness
of a harness maker then doing busi-
ness in Newcastle, and gave in pay
ment So on a broken bank. But ii
appears that conscience caused him
many a sleepless night. Unable to
bear its goadings any longer, be
determined to find the man he had
wronged, and make restitution. Last
week he came to town for that pur-
pose, found his man, and made the
matter all right"
The Evansville journal., 1869-03-16
Not Satisfied.

We notice that some dissatisfaction
is being manifested by the Democrats
of Warrick County at the conduct of
Mr.. BENoNI FULLER, their seeding
Representative. The Warrick Demo
Gratis don't like secession any better
than the Clark County Democrats.
We learn from the Warrick Herald
that Mr.. F. w. RATCLIFF has an
nouneed himself candidate for Rep
resentative in opposition to Mr.. Full
LER. The Herald comments on the
announcement as follows:
Mr.. r. has assured US that if elect
ed to that office, although he will be-
long 10 the minority, he should stand
up to the work and do his whole duty.
and let the responsibility of unjust
and bad legislation rest upon the ma
jority. He distinctly Condemns +ba
policy Of breaking up the IepisIo +,,ro
because the minority cannot rnIa -
He would vote against the Snff,oo1o'
Amendment, and defeat Its passags
if possible, fairly.
Mr.. r. is one of the stiffest kinds
of Democrats, and between him and
Mr.. Fuller, on that score. Republi-
cans could have little choice; yet. as
we shall probably have DO candidate.
and Mr.. r. has pledged himself to do
his duty. fairly and honestly, without
resorting to the revolutionary tactics
adopted by Mr.. Fuller and his coad

The New Albany Ledger accuses
Gov. BAKER OF bad faith with refer
enee to the Constitutional Amend
ment. 1t quotes the following para
graph from the Governors speech at
Peru, Indiana. last summer, in his
debate with Senator HENDRICKS:
"The interests of loyalty demanded
negro suffrage in the rebelliOus States.
The whites of the South having re-
belled against the Government, were
disqualified from exercising the duties
of citizens, and Lstruchng the
rebel State governments, and hence
it becomes necessary for Con
gress to seek out loyal ele-
ment In the South to build up
those State governments. My
friend has talked about plantation
negroes. | say to him that would a
tbousapd times rather trust a loyal
black in the South than a white rebel.
BIZ, az the North I belieUe this ques
tion of negro suffrage belongs to the
.States, each iSt1ts to determine FIR
itself. That IS lChGt the platform

And then adds the following com
