Democratic papers in Mississippi assert that
the State Democratic Executive Committee
stand divided-eleven to nine-upon the pro-
priety of supporting the National Union Repub-
licans.
How must Northern Democrats feel when
they hear such fre-eater as the Memphis A0d-
ld1che crying out:-"For Gods sake, and the
sake of decency, let the poor negro alone for
he is a citizen with all the rights of freeman,
will never be shorn of them, and is irrevocaby
free"
The New York Commercial says the num-
Der of beggars in that city is increasing, and
that they swarm about the hotels, depots, and
ferries. So long as they form n part of the
voting population, the authorities will not adopt
very strong measures to drive them away

Governor Hayes said that the last Democratic
Legislature had doubled the expenses of govern

increased the local powers of creating indebted
ness: and yet they had thrown out bill to au-
thorize a home for soldiers orphans, to be sup
ported by private munifcence, although there
are 1900 of them in the State needing aid, and
200 in the poor house.

GENERALITIES.


The Monongahela Valley Republican denies the
correctness OF the statement made concerning the
finding OF the body Of an unknown man in clump
of underwood on the bank of Maple creek, near
Monongahela City. 1t says:-"rhere are no doubt
good grounds for supposng that there has been foul
play or at least something which ought be cleared
up, but as yet no murdered man. with his throat
cut from 'ear to ear, has been found. On Thurs
day, large crowd OF persons turned out to
attempt TO ferret out the facts in the case.
Going to the carcass Of the horse, they
traced his tracks through two corn-heds and
one oats hed-between branches OF Maple creek
at which point they found the tracks Of two horses,
the places where they had been hitched, and also
where the rider or riders had dug and roasted some
potatoes. This brought the searchers to public
road where they lost all traces. The fences between
the enclosures crossed had been laid 0own and
fully rebuilt, except the Cne nearest the carcass,
which was partially rebuilt. Owing to the advanced
stage of decomposition Of the horse, it supposed
to have died two or three weeks since. The animal
was a bay with three white feet Thus far there
has been nothing developed to indicate where the
horse came from or who brought IT,

LANCASTER, Pa, Sept 5.-An outbreak took
place this A. M. at six O'clock at the Lancaster
County Prison, which resulted in a fight and the

also opened his cell door, and the two men, armed
with shoemakers' knives, attacked the watch

they then took the keys from his pocket and
opened closet where pistols were kept, and
also opened the cells OF three white convicts.
Levi Sensing, the keeper of the prison, and hil

DERANGED.-Manyo of our readers re-
member the trial, conviction and sem
tence to death of Charles Younger for
the murder of his wife, about three
years ago in one of the Counties in the
southwestern section OF this State.
Before the day fixed for his execution
arrived, Governor Boreman respited
him on the application OF those who
werc conversant with the particulars
Of the case. His sentence was ulti-
mately committed to Imprisonment in
the penitentiary for eighteen years.
About one month ago Younger began
to show signs of mental arrangement,
which have increased until he is now
raving maniac. So violent has no be-
come that it requires the strength of
several men to control him, and a con-
slant watch has to be maintained over
MIN lest he should injure himself or
sohe OF his fellow convicts. Superin-
tenuent McFadden informs us that the
unfortunate man gives him more
trouble IMAM all the other inmates OF
.ne PRISON 1t Is almost impossible to
pima MIN securely, even with stout
chains. On several occasions he has
broken heavy iron wristlets ma il nine
stems, and has torn out the iron and
oak Innings of his cell as il made of
paper. Application has been made to
have him removed to the Asylum, at
Weston, but the authorities report that
institution completely filled.
His longer continuance in the peni.
Tertiary endangers the lives of all who
are about him. Not long since he got
hold of a stout iron bar and made an
assault on the boss carpenter, who
hardly escaped with his life. Not long
afterwards he wrenched from their
fastenings the heavy oak plank form.
ing the partition between the cell in
| which he was confined and the one ad
joining, and continued his operations
until he had forced his way through
four or five rooms, carrying terror to
their inmates.
If it be possible something should be
done to meet this terrible case. We
feel confident that both the State and
prison authorities will leave nothing
untried that will mitigate the suffer-
iings Of this object of the deepest pity.
