Lynching in Illinois.

A most desperate encounter with cut
Threats is described by Pekin, ILL.,, cor
respondent of the Chicago Times. A
gang at Circlevile have for sometime
kept the country round in continual
state of terror. One day last week they
paraded the streets of that place, declar
ing they had whipped the town, and
threatening or assaulting every man, wo-
man and child they met. A party OF
officers, from Circleville and Pekin, start
ed to arrest them, and while pursuing
them were fired on by one of the lesper-
ADDE'S, one of the officers being killed and
another wounded. They were subse
quently arrested and lodged in jail. We
quote the rest of the story from the cor
respondent alluded to above:
During the day Pekin was the scene
of intense excitement. Court street, from
one end to the other, was crowded with
friends of the murdered and wounded
men. Many of these were from the
neighborhood where the Berry's lived.
and had been the object of their hatred.
Many of the friends of the man Pepper,
murdered by VIM. Berry last year; and
many of the friends of the murdered man
Pratt. Toward evening the crowd had
swelled to hundreds. All around the
Jail were gathered men whose faces evinc-
ed determination to speedily bring to
justice the desperadoes. Mayor Edds.
fearing an outbreak, provided an extra
police to guard the Jail but when the
time came for the men to act thew were
as chaff before the wind. All night the
excitement increased, and eliminated at
3 o'clock in the arrival of 80 TO 100 des.

country, who marched in military order

with a knife in his hand made for the
door, but getting frightened, jumped
back. A man by the name of Brownlev

will of course be noexcitement over our
State election this year, beyond what
may arise in some localities on mere To-
cal issues, but all freeman who can
should give at least some attention to it,
and particularly in. the election of good
men to the legislature. As the vote will
be light it will be good year for the
democrats to count their "-gains," which
they have made annually in this State
now nearly y. thirty years.

Some of the, special duties of our hon
orable council of censors are to inquire
into the various departments of the State
Government, .whethertheaaws have been
, observed, particularly whether the legis-
Ilative and executive departments have
exceeded their powers, &c. We would
suggest that at, thenext meeting of the
council they have committee to inquire
, how many votes each member of the
council is entitled to, and whether each
member of the. council during their late
session cast all the Votes they were enti-
tied to.

There is need of missionary work
among the women of Warner, N. II.
Recently two hundred and sixty-seven of
them in that town sent remonstrance
toihe New Hampshire Legislature against
woman suffrage, saying they believed that
if the elective franchise be exercised by
women, "ttheir moral influence will be
diminished and the best interests of home
and society be endangered" Perhaps
our council of censors wilLattend to their
case.

Council of CensOrs.---What IL has
Done.

l
The Council of Censors adjourned on
Friday of last week. Its doings are
thus summed up by the Burlington Free
Press:
1t has voted to call Constitutional
Convention in February next, and to
submit to il articles of amendment to
the Constitution as follows;
Forbidding the chartering of Private
Corporations by special acts.
Providing for biennial sessions of the
Legislature and biennial elections of
State and County officers.
Changing the mode of appointing the
Judges of the Supreme Court from the
elective to the appointive system, with
term of six years.
Permitting women to vote, on the
same terms as men.
| Abolishing the Council, and providing
a new mode Of amending the Constitu-
| ton.
Some of these recommendations will
come with more weight than others
That in reference to the Judiciary sys-
tenn, for instance, was adopted unani-
mously; while that on woman suffrage,
if adopted at all, was adopted by a snap
game, majority of the Council being
in fact, opposed to it.
AS we understand the case, however,
that article of amendment was not
adopted by any rule of parliamentary
usage or of common sense. The facts
were as follows. The Council stood sew
en- to six upon the measure, the majority
being opposed to woman suffrage. Mr..
Redgeld, after making speech against
woman's voting, was called out of the
State, and left accordingly. Advantage
was taken of short absence of Mr.
Dewey another opponent to the meas
ure) from the room, to spring vote,
which accordingly stood six for, to five
against, the proposition to admit women
to vote-the Chairman, Mr.. Field, being
one of the five voting in the negative.
Mr.. Dewey returned and claimed the
right to vote, which after some pretty
sharp debate, was conceded, and the
vote, when his was recorded, stood six
to Ska tie. Not having secured a
majority, of course the measure was lost
But the chairman thereupon deemed il
necessary for him to throw casting
vote, and did so, this time voting aye, SC
as to neutralize his former vote; not see
ing his way clear, we suppose, to throw
two votes against the measure. But
this was clearly improper. As Censor
he was entitled one, and only one vote
he had no more right to vote twice than
any other memberohad. As we look al
it, it would have been. just as correct fol
him to vote twice for or against the mea'
sure, as to vote once as a member
against, aud once &C. as chairman for it.
IF this kind of decision of question
can hold water, we shall be very much
surprised.
On the question of abolishing the
Council, the Council stood, we believe
four for to nine against; but the MAORI.
ty rightly deemed it their duty to sub
NIT the matter to the Convention, and
an article was adopted accordingly, on
which and other matters connected there
with, we shall have more to say here
after.

SHARP CoLPoRTEUR.-A Hartford pa-
per tells story of a sharp colporteur
who lately made his appearance at the
residence of clergyman who officiates
in Connecticut village, and stated the
object of his visit, which was to secure
funds in aid of Western college. AZ
ter some conversation the agent said =
"What | want is this, that you will d.
rect me to people of wealth, who are Ell
Their in the last stages of consumption or
are hereditarily disposed to apoplexy. I
find this class of persons are more easily
reached than those who possess means
and are in possession of perfect health
In one western town l found gentle
man who had received two apoplectic
strokes, and he put our college in his
will for $4,000, and lady consumptiye-
ly inclined gave us $4,000. Neither is
dead yet, but you see the Importance of
getting such people on the right side."-
The clergyman, after listening to his
argument, said that the members of
his church were, so far as he knew. in
the enjoyment of good health, and il
would be impossible to select any who
gave promise of early death. i

The Southern Elections.

The election in Tennessee last week
resulted in an overwhelming victory for
the democrats, rebels, conservatives I"
and all sorts and conditieus-of opposition
to the Republicsns, rs everybody ex-

position, and latest reports indicate that
ut will elect Andrew johnson to the Sem
ate, "a dose not at all too strong for the
treacherous and pretended republicans
who have thus thrownthe State away.
On the other hand we have the highly
gratifying news that Alabama, where
the republicans were united, has gone re-
publican by some 10000 majority, a re-
publican gain Of some 1900 over Grants
majority there last year, and the repub-
4icans have also elected four of the six
congressman, which is in very pleasing
contrast with Tennessee and Virginia.
Kentucky held her election last week
for minor offices, and went overwhelm-
ingly democratic rebel as usual, though
by reduced majority as compared with
EAST year. The vote was light which
doubtless accounts for the reduced ma
jority- q
At Wilmington, N. G., an election
was held last week to gil vacancy in
