females were subjected before they
murdered are too sickening to relate.
Every cruelty" says the cores
pondent- which it was possible for Il e
most savage barbarians to conceive OF,
was practiced upon these defenseless
Christian ladies and native Chris
tians. The priests who attempted to
guard the doors were seized and torn
limb from limb. Nine sisters who
were collected in large school room
were beaten with sticks. their clothes
torn from their bodies, and then
placed on their heads and cut
with knives in the most savage
manner and outraged. Yet alive. they
were ranged side by side along the
room. their cheeks were gashed, lips
and noses cut, eyes scooped from
their heads, their breasts cut off and
abdomens ripped open with large
cleavers; their limbs were cut and
broken, and In ten minutes naught
remained but their disfgur, d bodies.
When there was no more to do, fire
was applied, and the buildings burn
ed. Sixty or seventy children, who
had sought refuge from the mob In
the cellar, were burned TO a cruel
death. The Cathedral, Consulate
Hospital, and buildings of all foreign
ers were sacked aud burned.

From the Rockport Democrat
Laird's Speech.

We listened on Monday evening to
one of the most remarkable speeches
ever delivered In Rockport, or any
other port. It was principally re-
markable for loW-hung blackboard
ism and stale pot-house abuse of the
Democracy. Laird, the speaker, had
not q word to offer In defense of the
principles of his party, but from the
word 20, gave the Democracy the
crushing weight of his mighty and
splendid intellect. He first touched
on the question of banks, and said
the Democracy were the exclusive
friends of shin-plaster banks. This
IS falsehood, and Laird knew it.
The free bank system received about
the same proportion of Wing votes in
the Legislature; In fact, the whole
system was engineered through the
Legislature by Leading Wings.
Lard took good care to say not a
word about the Infamous and outrage
Gus bank law fastened upon our State
by the Know Nothing drunkards who
had a majority In the Winter of
1915. This law for which every
Know Nothing member who voted for
it ought ia. receive sixty lashes of
COW hide across his bare back, we'll

lars in shinplasters for every dollars
worth of deposits made in old hats,
old clothes, breastpins, finger rings
and brass jsWelry generally.
This is the kind of a law which

JOINT CANVASS IN PIKE COUNTY.

August 10, 1870.
Editors Journal:
On yesterday. Captain Gooding and
Judge Niblack opened the joint can
vass at this place. Both reflected
credit on the parties they represented
by the honorable. upright manner in
which they conducted themselves. I
think, however, l but utter the CON-
yiction Of three-fourths of the audi
ence, whether Democrat or Republi-
can, whenI say that Gooding was an
over match for Judge Niblack. Nib
lack admitted that our State finances
had been we'll managed under Repub-
lican rule, and that the statements of
Secretary Boutwell, In relation to the
reduction of the public debt are cor
rect, but came out square against the
Fifteenth Amendment, and said he
would vote for its repeal, only accept
ing it now because compelled to do so.
Capt. Go0ding pressed every ques-
ton home on the Judge, showing up
some of Ms votes against reducing
the taxes. etc., which were not ex-
planned by Niblack, to the entire sat
isfaction Of his friends. Captain
Gooding is everywhere spoken of as
an able man on the stump, and has
won laurels in Pike County by his
honorable, upright course and manly
bearing among US. Our friends need
have no fears about the Joint canvass,
as far as Gooding is concerned, and
both parties NAV turn ont and neither
be abused or mistreated by either of
the speakers. Yours, etc.,

Horrible Massacre or Christians In
ChIBa-FuIl Details - 6ickenIng
Atrocities PeFpetrated on Females,
Etc.
NEW York, August PA special
correspondent gives details of the
atrocious Chinese massacre of French
and Russian residents at Tien Tsin,
China. 1t appears that the RESPONSE.
bility Of the horrible butchery rests
entirely with the Chinese authorities.
That the mob were not only incited
By the Chinese Governor of the Prov.
ince, but were frequently urged to
commit the atrocities. Their igno.
rance and superstition were worked
upon by most remarkable means, and
official publications taught them to
believe that foreigners were in Tien
Tsin to kidnap women aud children
with the design of killing them and
converting their bodies into drugs.
A mob held possession of the
French settlement, maltreatiDg all for
eigners abroad for two days before any
blood was shed, and the government
not only did not restrain or dispense
it, but even permitted its soldiers
10 aid and encourage it. It was not
until the riot was three days old, that
the French Consul was killed in
the Governors palace and wholesale
slaughter began.
The following are the only names Of
the victims that could be obtained. A
number OF Americans and English
men are missing. and can only be ac-
counted for by the belief that they
suffered the same fate as the others,
and that their bodies foated away in
the river:
Henri Fontanier, Consul of France;
Mr.. Simon, Secretary to Consul; M.
Thomassen and wife, Pere Cherrier,
a Catholic Priest; Mr.. Pratopapeff,
a Prusslan officer, and wife; Mr.. Bas-
coH, Sisters Louisa, (Frencb), Mary,
Victoria, Theresa, Josephine, Vim
centa, Orelia, Ouzeneie and Catherine;
Mons. and Madame ChlaWsizoD, in
all twenty.
The Rev. Mr.. Stansie and family, of
Cincinnati, occupied one of the Mis-
sions, but as he CHANGED to be absent.
Mrs. Stansie and Miss Thompson
found refuge on board the steamship
Monchu, and thus doubtless escaped
terrible fate.
~ - GoScIh6Q that over LWO nun
dred Chinese prelates of the priests
were massacred by the mob.
1t is charged that Chung How, the
Mandarin or Governor of the prov
lnce, stood by and witnessed the mas
saere without attempting to prevent
1t; and also that j. o. T. Meadows,
American Consul at Tien Tsin, was in
company with Chung How all the
time, and did nothing to prevent the
terrible outrage, although he is an Of
tcer of the Chinese government. and
had enough power and influence to
prevent it.
The Emperor of China appointed
Chung How Special Minister to Par

reference to this outrage. and has ap-

THE 90 called Reformers Of Indian
apolis must be nice lot Of "fellers"
if the following is fair sample Of the
entire batch. We clip from the In
dianapolis Journal of Saturday:
Mr.. Parker, another star in the
brilliant constellation of reformers,
severely denounced the county officers
as a pack of graceless corruptionists
The county offices have furnished US
one or two facts in Dir. Parker's
short life, "since the close of the war,
as the Sentinel would say, that indi-
cate great need of reform on his part
at least. He instituted bsstardy pro-
ceedings for a poor colored girl. He eff
ffected compromise with the seducer
By which he paid $50. OF this the Re-
former took $50, and gave the woman
ten dollars aud let her keep the baby.
It was very kind of him not to take
lien on the baby for the balance of
his fee.
Another case. A little German
girl was killed by the pony engine of
the Terre Haute Railroad Company.
The Reformer brought suit for the
father and recovered a judgment Of
1925. He took 1925 for his fee and
gave the father $500. This wasn't
quite as bad divide as the first. The
friends of this German family don't
take much stock in such reformers.
The Reformer in hie State House
speech said the taxes were not very
heavy. His are extremely light, in
deed, as we are informed that he has
not paid a cent into the County Urea
sury for two years.
Who will doubt that Parker needs
reform? Let him be reformed by all
means.
