Another Horrible Case,

A startling tragedy has occurred
in Cleveland, Ohio, which must
necessarily revive again the ques-
ton whether, in peculiar cases,
even murder is not justifable.-
If the published narrative of q
Mrs. Galentine have any truth in
it, she was forcibly outraged in
her person by one DR.. Jones, who
subsequently tainted her with
her helplessness and disgrace
Her husband when informed of
the facts, killed the ravisher of
his wife, and we suppose that there
are few married men or women
who will not think, whatever
they may say, that the wretch
simply received the reward be
merited. Theoretically speaking,
no man has a right to take the
Aaw into his own hands; but il
will be difficult to convince Ben.
edick that he is not justified in
Staying the worse than assassin
who debases, by force, O virtuous
wife. 1t will be quite as difficult
to convince a modest woman
thus outraged, that her husband
and protector is not the proper
party to punish her wrongs. OF
course the majesty of the law
should be sustained. Of course
no man can legally be the judge
jury, and executioner in his Owl
case. Morality admits all this
And yet morality must look will
profound compassion upon the maj
phrenzied by an outrage commit
ted upon his wife, and will con
template with large allowance
any act he may perpetrate in sucl
a terrible condition.

IA As Mullins, the or

%- As Mullins, the great
mouthpiece Of Radicalism, claims
to be the especial champion of the
"man and brudder," we would
like to have him explain when
next he mounts the rostrum, by
what authority he, about the mid
die Of July last arrested Harry
Van Zant, q negro, and hung hina
ttco or three times, to make him tell
what he knew about some contra
band whiskey. Tell US, also,
Lilly of the Valley" how this
hanging scrape can be tortured
into evidence of the sincerity of
your obtrusively professed love
for the negro race. Particularly
as Van Zant, the negro, was no
doubt innocent Of knowledge of
q violation of the revenue law, no
information being obtained from
him. Tell us, too, Mullins, what
neces sity there was for the burn
ing OF g stable containing 8 or
900 bundles of oats, at the same
time, and at the same place, in
Franklin county, on Elk river,
about two miles below the mouth
of Short creek, and about the same
distance from Marble Hill. 1t is
true, we suppose, that some of
your squad assert that the stable
caught accidentally from a burn
ing distillery. But how could
that be true, when the stable was
about thirty yards or more away,
and the wind was in an opposite
direction, carrying the fire from
instead of to the stable. Tell us
all about it, Mullins; don't deny,
for we are promised an abundance
of proof, if necessary, and, besides,
the negro threatens to have you
arraigned before the court and
show your authority, or pay dam
ages, for trying to play the role of
hangman.

The Burning of Mullins
PrOpertv

Touching the burning of Null
Inns -four and grist mills and barn
on Sunday night, Oct. l6, the
Shelbyville Commercial says:
who the perpetrators of the
wanton deed are, we suppose is
unknown. 1t has been known
for sometime that there were some
distilleries burned in Franklin and
Lincoln counties, which created
animosity towards Col. Mullins
and all connected with the Reve-
nue. Bureau. Vague rumors are
in circulation attributing the fires
Sunday night to spirit of retalia-
ton. We know nothing of their
truth or falsity."
The Shelbyyille American Res
cue says
"Whether it was a Radical
move to get up sympathy for
their party, or the work of exas-
perated individuals who have suf-
fered confscation of property and
whisky, we are not prepared to
say. We are satisfied of one thing,
it was not the work of the politi-
cal enemies of Mr.. Mullins, as
has been alleged by some. The
Rebel Democrats had no hand in
this piece of outlawry. The State
elections are close at hand, and
Congress will soon be in session
again, and it is important that
something should be done to rouse
the ire of the Radical Republicans,
North, to get their sympathy and
aid in putting their reconstruction
measures through, in order, if
possible, to throw Tennessee again
under Radical military rule"

Ear The Midlleto,rn TRANSCRIPT.

The course of lectures delivered this
week in the Town Hall, by the Rev. DR..
J. G. McCabe, have doubtless demon
strated the fact that that species of enter
tainment and instruction can be sustained
in our community The first lecture, al
though the evening was unlikely, and the
roads bad, drew very large and appre-
eiative audience-the second brought to-
gether a still lerger one, and none went
away dissatisfied, except, perhaps, some
one or two in favor of the strong minded
movement, who, as the lectures were on
''Woman's Worth and Woman's Work, ="
"Woman's Rights Il Woman's Wrongs" i"
felt the force of his satire and his facts.
The appreciation of the company, howev-
er, by repeated instances of approval, sug-
gestcd the old and apt quotation from
Hamlet
" Let the CALLED jade vince, our withcrs are
unwrung."
During his first lecture, he illustrated
the spontaneous chivalry of man, every
where, in regard to the sex, by the almost
universal reprobation, throughout this
country, and in foreign lands, of the cele-
brated New Orleans order by the officer
commanding there at that time in regard
to the manner of treating certain offending
females. The Doctor, having learned that
some friends who were present, were un,
der the impression that this reference was
somewhat political in its bearing, took oc-
cosion the next evening, before commence
ing his lecture, to disavow most emphati.
cally, and having stated in the frankest
manner his regret that he should have
been misunderstood, gave outsiders to un-
stand pretty plainly that their praise OIL
blame, was, with him, a matter of perfect
Indifference, closing his explanation by
quoting from General Buffers recent re.
ply to Hon. Mr.. Cox, of n. Y.
''Shoo fly, don't bodder me.'

A WOMAN SHooTs HER FAIrHLEss LOVER
IN .CHURcH.-While the congregation of
st. Mary's Roman Catholic Church in
Piqua, Ohio, were engaged in worship
Sunday morning, young woman namtd
Mary Maher entered the church. After
being seated few moments she deliberat-
ely took pistol from her pocket and
shot young man named Thomas Wise,
who occupied seat Immediately in front
of her. Wise, after being shot, arose
and started toward the entry. The wo-
man pursued him, endeavoring to shoot
him the second time, but was prevented
by policeman, who arrested her. 1t ap-
pears that Wise promised to marry her,
but had since engaged himself to another,
which engagement was announced in
church the same morning. Wise's con-
dition is rather critical.

A New INK.-The Chestertown Tran
script says General r. Clay Crawford
of our town, has discovered, while making
some chemical experiments, black writ
ing ink, which is likely to supercede all
inks now in use. 1t is black, flows freely
from the pen, which it does not corrode,
can be sold cheaper than inks now on the
market, and is perfectly indellible. The
strongest acids applied to this ink will on
ly turn it red color, while the ordinary
oxalic acid of the shops will completely
efface other inks. For all legal instru-
nents this ink is invaluable. For cancel
ling stamps it is perfectly eifcctual, it be-
ing impossible to remove the ink An
other valuable property it possesses is,
that freezing does not impair it. The diff.
ference between this and other inks is this
that where other inks are a chemica
combination, this is mechanical comb
nation, and is consequently affected Meth
er by cold nor heat. General Crawford
is now largely engaged in its manufac
ture, and it will soon be introduced in thu
large cities of the country. 1t is already
generally used in our town.

Paris officials are anxious to make the
people believe there is no truth in the ru.

yet the fact is too apparent to admit of a
doubt. The people have determined tc

THE FIFTEENTH AMENDMENT The Fif-

cept that it has not yet been officially pro-
claimed by the President, an act which
will probably be deferred till the 22d Of
February, to give it eclat. a bill was
introduced in the Senate on Monday by
Mr.. Morton, looking to the enforcement
of the Fifteenth Amendment. 1t pro
vides that all citizens of the United States,
without distinction of race, color or pre-
yious condition of servitude, who are
otherwise qualified by law to vote, shall
be entitled to vote at all elections fol
President and for members of Congress,
and at all State, county, township and
municipal elections held under the au-
thority Of the United States, or of any
State. In cases where the assessment OF
payment of any tax is qualification of ar
elector, the refusal or wilful neglect t.
assess or collect such tax is made punish
able by fine not less than five hundred
dollars and imprisonment one month, anC
forfeiture of FIVE hundred dollars additiona
for each offence. Judges of election Wit
shall refuse to receive the votes of sucl
persons are to be punished to the sam
extent. The Circuit and District Court
of tho United States are given jurisdic
ton over all proceedings under abov
provisions. That this or some simila
measure will be adopted is absolutel
certain. And it is equally certain tha
this amendment will be treated, some day
rs though it had never besn.
