eral interference in the affairs Of the loyal
city OF Cincinnati. Col. VIM. Travis, a
colorcd gentleman, who sings graceful
razor, digs out a corn OF bunion with
nealness and dispatch, and is, withal, no
slouch III military affairs, saw fit in the
exercise of his rights and privileges as a
freeman, to vote for Democrat. On
Monday night, while peacefully sitting
on his door step smoking a segar and
revolving various schemes for the re-
demption and regeneration of his race,
Mr.. Travis was "yanlsed' into the street
by a body of cclored Ku Klllx, and most
foully and inhumanly maulcd. The mid
night assassins smote him in the ribs,
barked his shins, punched his head,
tweakcd as much of his nose as they
could get hold of, and put mice under his
eyes. In the meantime the police watch
ed the proceedings from neighboring
corner, and turned deaf ear to poor
Travis roars of anguish. We call upon
Congress to do something for Cincinnati
and for Travis. OF what benefit is the
privilege Of suffrage TO an African ifhe
cannot vote for whom he pleases?

horse thief managed to enter the prem
ises of Robert Butler, Esq, who lives in
Edgefeld county, S. c., a few miles from

making his escape with the animal unde-
tected. Soon after daylight, however, the
theft was discovered, and Mr.. Butler and
his son started in pursuit. The trail was
soon discovered and was followed with such
rapidity, that at ten o'clock in the morn
ing the thief, mounted on the horse, was
overtaken in Barnwell county, thirty miles

thief, colored man, named James Clay,

Fashion Notes.

The large wads Of false hair worn down
the neck is fashion rapidly dying out.
Entire suits of white material will be
worn this season by fashionable young
ladies.
Black silk suits continue in favor this
spring, and are trimmed deliberately with
lace, fringe, and jet.
Nilsson collars and cufts-a recent wrin-
kle-are cut round, edged with narrow
lace, and should be worn with q light
colored bow.
1t is understood that a white flannel
suit, wide-brimned straw hat, with deep
black band, will be the correct costume
for the jeuneSse dorce. at the places of
fashionable resort this summer.
Large white umbrellas, scolloped round
the edge, are again in vogue, and are des-
tined to regain their former popularity.

were Of the party that visited his premi-
ses at the time stated. The accused were
arrested and recognized to appear on Sat
urday last for preliminary examination.
Upon this examination the prosecutor
stated that no personal violence was inflicted
upon himself or family-that he could not
swear positively, but only as to belief, and
that his impression was based upon cir
curnstances that led him to suspect the
parties above named A portion Of the
testimony introduced by the accused was
that of colored persons. Upon the con-
clusion of the testimony the Trial Justice
decided that the complaint was not sus-
tanned, and ordered the discharge of the
parties. The State was represented by l.
D. Witherspoon, Esq, and the accused by

will recognize the necessity of discoura-
