Mr.. EDITOR Our town is again the
scene of carnage and death, ere the tragedy
OF few days since has ceased to agtate
our community, we are shocked with an
other scene of death more terrible than the
former, all fom tho use of Intoxicating
drinks. The solemn cry comes from ali
quarters, "who killed the man 7" who gave
the man license TO do itr 1t is time the
authorities Of Bristol were looking after the
suppression of these dens Of infamy and
death, which are producing such demorali-
zllion in our town.

A Terrible Fate,

The Memphis Appeal says the partic-
ulars Of the death of Wash. Henly, a
colored man who eloped with a white
girl from Bartlett, in that State, have
been received When Henly was seized
from the Nu Klux he was taken to the
woods and after being most horribly
mutilated, rope put around his neck
by which he was raised few inches from
the ground; turpensine was then poured
over him and torch applied. After burn
ing in this manner a few moments the
rope was severed by the fire and Henly,
half roasted, was suffered to escape for a
short distance when he was shot to death
as he ran. This horrible affair caused
the most intense excitement, and was
openly denounced by the most violent
rebels. The Appeal is 'oud in its denun-
citation of the act, as one of the most
barbarous ever known. 1T calls upon
the officers Of the law to ferret out and
bring those connected with the affair to a
speedy trial.

: The Manitowoc TYLy,

The Manitowoc Tribune is probing
county affairs to the bottom 1t has de-
veloped great rascality in the adminstra-
ton of the poor funds, and finds that the
county board have run the county into
debt fearfuly. The amount of outstand-
ing orders is over $4,000, and Colonel
Baetz, the County Treasurer, estimates
that the county will be in debt $22, 600 at
the close of the year.-.Stote Journal
Taking into consideration the amount
Of taxes raised in this county during the
PAST two or three years, we should have
money in the Treasury, if the county had
been economically governed, as it is, prob
ably, the end Of the.year will find us, as
stated, $22,00 in debt But large as it
is tn is not so enormous as at first sight
it n ght appear. 1t is 500, 900 of course,
but the idea we wish to convey is, this is
a very large, wealthy county. We have
about 5000 inhabitants and if the peo-
pie so will it the debt can all be paid quite
readily in few years by purging the
County Board of thieves, and putting in
their places honest capable men who will
manage our affairs with some regard for
the rights of the taxpayers.
