A public journalist We are called upon
u chronicle dastardly outrage perpetrated
BY the "Hm." Levi Hensel, late member Of
the State Legislature, and at present Deputy
United States Marshall of Nemaha county,
upon the person Of the wife of respectable
German farmer living in this county. The
husband Of the outraged woman fur
nished us with the following state
ment, in relation to the case 1t seems
that one day last week, Hensel, in his official
capacity rs census taker of Nemaha county,
called at the house of Mr. Hanna, living on
Four Mile Creek, and finding the wife Of Mr..
Hanna alone and unprotected, and taking
advantage of the husbands absence, at
tempted to defile the woman by force. She
resis;ed. with: all the strength she possessed,
and was successful in foiling him in his hell
ish designs, though in doing 80, she was 20
exhausted us to bring ON premature pains Of
child birth, she being within few weeks Of
confinement. On last Monday the husband
of the outraged woman came to town, and
made affidavit to the above facts, and paPers
were at once put in the hands Of the officers
for the arres, of Hensel, who being brough,
before Esq. Lanham, waived an examination
and gave bonds in the enormous sum of five
hundred dollars for his appearance at the
next term Of the District Court.
The Policy er the CIarke-langslon.
SPeer Paper.
from the Lawrence Journal.
What, then, il the Tri6wne's line of policy
Their are certainly none Sd blind that they
cannot see 1t il to blacken, brow-bcat, and,
il possible, intimidate any man who dares To
oppose or expose the infamous ring Of cor
rulsionists that have so long controlled the
Republican party Of Kansas.
Passing over their course towards the con-
ductors Of the Jou.pad, let us examine their
treatment If the editor Of the Leavenworth
TIMES. lie opened his paper to a eommuni-
cation from 4 citizen Of Lawrence, giving
come new and important revelations of the
Speer defalc,tion. Did the Tribune attempt
to answer the charges? Not hit Of it.
BIT ii opened foul, personal assault
u,Un Mr.. Wilder, the editor Of the
TIMES. 1t exhausted the dialect of Billings
gate in an attempt To injure his character.
We need not To- undertake 4 defence Of Web.
Wilder He is able to take care of himself.
! But what sort Of an answer was this? Did
it prove the charges Of the TINES untrue?
No: il was the admission Of their truth-the
admission Of utter inability to answer. II
was the effort of brag and i blackgiard to
frishten Wilder from his attempts to expose
them. Those who know him need not he
told that the effort failed.
Take another illustration: Mr.. Thad,le',s
Walker was in the city few days since.
The Tribune published an editorial concern
ing him, headed "A Gambler in Town"
We give prominence to this brutal assault,
for we believe that, just 80 far as it is known,
it will secure votes against this brutal gang OF
plunderers. Mr.. Walker is gentleman,
gentleman Of education, culture, and
blan,cle.sS character. He has no
office, and asks for none. -
He runs ND newspaper, and asks FOR N" de
fence. His crime il, that he thinks the Re-
publican party ought TO purge itself Of the
venal vampires who are sucking ont Its life $
blood. Ills offence hath this extent, no
more. Ycs, little more. The Iribsae
charges that he wears good clothes, and is a
''pretty man." This may Ike an offence in
the estimation Of a man who wipe, his noe
on his coat-sleeve, and is almost as much OF
a physical as moral blotch on the commu-
nifty; lsrt II will le hardly considered suffi-
cicnt grounds for the indecent assaults Of the
Tribune
There l. NJ man in the State who has a
better record-who, in his sphere, has done
more for its development, or who would
more creditably represent ii. than Jacob
S,otlcr. But no sooner was his name men,
toned "a possible SUCCESSOR Of Clarke, than
Clarke's own paper commenced like indie
cent war upon him.
