ATTACK ON REV. J. G. WHITE |
AT COLUMBUS, OHIO.
He is Stoned by q Mob!

Especial to the Cincinnati Gazette
COLUMBUS, Ohio, Feb. 4.
A dastardly outrage was committed
tonight, upon the Rev. j. O.. White,
of Illinois, who has been lecturing
during the past week upon the doc
trines and practices OF the Roman
Catholic Church. His lectures have
been listened to by the most respect
able people of the city, and have been
spoken of In high terms. 10 night
he delivered discourse at the Opera
House to males only, in which he
read from approved Catholic books to
show the practices and corruption of
the confessional. Threats have been
made toward him during the week,
and his bills have uniformly
been torn down and destroyed.
To- day some miserable wretches
were heard to threaten him with as
sassination, and the Mayor, antici-
pating trouble, detailed force of ten
policemen, with the Captain of Police
at their head, to go to the Opera
House, with instructions to project
Mr.. White and prevent riot. The
lecture passed off smoothly enough.
When Mr.. White left the building he
was taken in charge by the police,
who conducted him toward the Neil
House. They were followed by
crowd of between two and three hun
dred miscreants, generally armed and
with tilR;n pockets, TLI. III stones,
cursiDg, swearing and uttering the
most obscene language and threats.
| When opposite Clarke 4 Farmers
hat store several stones were thrown,
one of which struck Mr.. White on
the shoulder, another knocked off his
hat, and a third passed close to his
head and smashed large plate OF
| French glass In the window of the
hat store. As this was near the
Neil House, the police had but little
difficulty in hurrying Mr.. White with
in doors. The coWardly scoundrels
composing the mob howled around
| the doors for a time, and then dis
persed. Had Mr.. White been COM
pelled to traverse the distance of an
| other square, he would doubtless have
lost his life at the hands of the mob.
L have heretofore foreborne all
mention of Mr.. White in these dis
| patches, but / now express the uni
versal opinion of respectable people
here when say that l hope he will
/ continue his lectures as long as he
thinks best, and not suffer free speech
to be trampled under foot in the Cap
ital City of Ohio by the miserable
minions of the Pope of Rome.

THE last charge made against Gen.
GRANT by the Democratic papers is,
that he did not initiate the fummery
Of European Counts in his reception
of Prince ARTHUR, the son of Queen
VICTORIA. This complaint, of course,
is for the purp,se of Strengthening
the attachment of Irishmen to the
Democratic party. How could they
do otherwise than detest President
who did not show his admiration for
Royalty-especially that branch of it
lin the most obsequious manner.
This charge of want of respect for
En4ish Royalty also comes from the
same paper which have, heretofore,
charged Gen. Grant With dAsiqSs
against the Government and in favor
Of an Empire, with himself at the
head of it. BAIL

An EnterprIsing Town.

That Evansville is a town of con-
siderable commercial Importance, is
due. not to her favorable geographic
cal position, but to the indomitable
energy of her leading citizens and
business men. With advantages
superior to those of no locality on the
river below Louisville, and absolutely
inferior to those of Cairo and points
below Cairo, she has built up a cotton
market scarcely second to that of any
in the Northwest, and tobacco mar
ket of first class pretensions-all
within a period of two or three years.

result is there is scarcely a retail

mouths of her hired takers, all about
Evansville, her Wholesale houses, her
manufacturing establishments, and
her ability to do this and that and
everything else that any other city
may attempt to do. The result of all
this is seen in a steady, prosperous
trade, lively. thriving town.
Without such agencies Evansville
would be a second Henderson, for In
no particular are her natural advan-
tages and surroundings superior. May
we not, then, learn wisdom from the
example here furnished. The same
effort expended in behalf of Cairo
would soon build up here the Leading

MEssRs. SINKER & Co., of Indian

engineer was badly injured, and three
or four employees slightly hurt The
escape Of the employees was most re-
markable, as the building in which
they were at work was badly shat

in every direction. The entire estab-
lishment will be closed for some little
time for repairs. In the meantime,
about one hundred and twenty men
are without employment, The loss of
the proprietors is estimated at from
four to five thousand dollars.

THE Saline County (IlI.) Register

says:
The Evansville Weekly JOURNAL
is upon our table. The city of its

the products of this section Of coun-
try, and approaching this fact we
have been for some time seeking an
exchange therefrom for the sake of
its market reports. We did not try

ing Though only the weekly is evil
dence that at least one of its papers
appreciates that Evansville draws
much of its support from Egypt, and
that if it can become more thoroughly
known to her people through the
medium of a few exchanges the
outlay is we'll made. The JOURNAL
is Radical in politics, but that does
not vitiate its news or market reports
and we welcome it to our \ list.
Our merchants are thoroughly
awake to the value Of the Saline
County trade, and hope that not
many months will pass away before
they will have railroad facilities for
its transportation.

We are eratified to observe that the
Republicans of Kentucky are organ
izing their forces for the approaching
campaign. The Fifteenth Amend
ment will add largely to their strength
in votes. to say nothing Of the effect
its ratification will have upon the
timid men who have heretofore taken
no part in politics, because they felt
that the majority against them was so
great nothing could be accomplished
by going to the polls. The following
card, which We clip from the Owens
boro Monitor, is significant of the
spirit that animates many Republi-
cans. Mr.. PETERS is man of social
position, influence, and means. His
pluck will inspire other Republicans
to emulate his example. Candidates
should be nominated in every county,
and the full strength Of the party
rallied to their support. This
can easily be done if men will only
have the moral courage to speak
their belief with the frankness
and fearlessness that characterizes the
utterances of Mr.. PETERS. The same
boldness in meeting the issue, the
same plainness of speech in every
county in the State, Joined with
emphatic action, will change the pc.
litical face of Kentucky:

This society whose mysterious title,-I. H. l.

ception in the large hall of the Wesleyan Female
College, on Thursday evening. Miss Mary
NIyer is President of the Society, and Miss Jen-
ME Shemmell Secretary. President Wilson, of
the College, presided over the exercises, which
were closely attended to by large and appreci-
ative audience. The exercises opened with an
Anthem - o be joyful in the Lord" by the Glee

literary exercises were az follows -

York, in which ii was shown how much more
frequently misfortunes are attributable to
thoughtlessness than to malicious intention, and
the readiness to ascrihe malice was deprecated.

articles which were of a character to show that

preston of many widely differing views as to
what is really womans greatest charm. ques-
ton, of course difficult to settle since tho charms
of woman differ more widely even than the
opinions expressed in this colloquy.
The literary exercises were interspersed with
instrumental and vocal music, which was all so
good that we cannot particularize, and which
added, of course, greatly to the pleasure of the
entertainment, which, like all others given by
the I.R. Is, was very attractive. With SO many

WESTERN C0NGREssMEN AND THE SHIP
PING INTERESTS.

Plain people are beginning to remark the i'll
consistency of many Western members of
Congress- on general measures of national
economy. They asked heavy subsidy Of land,
in aid of the Northern Pacific Railroad, voted for
| it, and got it, properly enough as we think,
because, in order to open to settlement the
immense section through which the proposed
line will pass, railroad was imperatively neces-
sary, and tho whole people were rightly called
upon to ad to the extent of portion of the
public lands the efforts of the capitalists and
settlers to build the road But scarcely had these
Western gentlemen turned around from granting
this subsidy to their own immediate constituents,
before they were ready to denounce the drawback
and bounty proposed to be given to the ship
building and commercial interests Gen. Logan
voted for the land grant, but thought this aid to
commerce was taxing the people to support
few men, General Garfield said "the subsidy
feature in this scheme was one which no repre-
sentative of All inland constituency could vote
for and sustain himself before his constituents"
MIR. Allison opposed it on similar grounds. Mr.
Farnsworth protested that it was taxing his
people in order to build and sail vessels for the
benefit of class with whom his people had no
common interests
These Western mon must begin to reflect
little on their own position, Not only to the
Northern Pacific, but to dozen other railroads,
whose construction benefits their constituents,
first and most, have the Eastern and Middle
States members voted liberal grants out of the
public possessions. Not only this, but the West
is continually asking appropriations for its in
teinal improvements, the development of its
rivers and harbors, and what not, for which our
conscientious friends, Messrs. Logan, Garfield,
Allison, Farnsworth Il Co., regularly vote, with
out word of objection, but, if necessary, with
long and earnest affirmative arguments. We do
not object to this; generally it has been wise
liberality; but let us have some equality and
some justice in return for it. AS the Boston
Advertiser remarks, in reference to this matter,
the country has given lands and money to the
builders of railroads with unsparing hands, and,
within reasonable limits, the people of every
section of the country, whether they were to be
benefited directly by them or not, have bade
them God speed. Are the interests of the nation
so much more exacting on the land than on the
sea that principles can be laid aside 80 con-
veniently
-" The Great West" is carrying empire and
control with her growth, away from our seaboard.
and seating it in the Great Interior. Let the
gentlemen who are leaders in this magnificent
development OF natural forces, develop also their
own culture, and stand forth as prominent for
liberality and breadth of view, as they are for
energy and enterprise.

TERRIBLE sToRM-EuMERors WRECKS on THE
DELAWARE BAY.
The storm of Friday and Friday night was one
of the most fearful that has visited our coast for
years, and wrought widespread destruction.
Along the Delaware Bay it caused numerous
wrecks the details of which are inst beginning
to reach lis.
On the beach opposite Dover an Eastern
schooner was blown ashore and soon bilged
filed with water and sunk. The Captain and
crew escaped to the rigging from which they
were rescued after being subjected for twenty
four hours to the pitiless peting of the storm.
Just north of the Milford creek, the Ai,aie
May, schooner of about 400 tons, owned by
Capt. Henry May, of philapelphia, and parties
in Delaware, was blown ashore, losing her an
chors but not sustaining any severe damages.
South of AIilfordicreek, another large schooner,
owned by the same parties and laden with coal,
was driven ashore, and bilged and sank, the cap
tain and crew being in the rigging for "a hours,
whence they were rescued by Capt. Mason, of
Milton.
AT Lewes five vessels were wrecked three being
blown ashore and two foundering at their an
chors at the break water and sinking.
