The above Is a correct statement q! an
outrage perpelrated upon a quiet and re-
spectacle ciiiien, for the purpose either Of
humiliating or melting him TO breach OF
the law, II their real purpose had been "a
arrest thu above mentioned fugitiyes, why
did they .conhne their search 10 Col. a..
house alonef They certainly had The
same right to search every other house IN
the urighboehood. On the contrary, they
passed wl,hinit my yarislof the house
where little jim Gslhiags lived, without
oven making an inquiry for him. Col
Galhings and his friends, ms we'll MS the
whole commuu ty in which they live, are
loyal, order-loving, law abiding citizens
who fully rcgcognise, respect and suom u
TO ihe law-men who would ut any time
mid the Sheriff or other properly accredited
officer in making any arrests or in sustain
ing the law. AS for the parties who com
milied The murder at Cliiten, tieS have nc
sympathy with them. But they hf5e new,
or yet forgotten that the Constitution Of
The United States, as well NJ the lews 81
Texas, clrlhct' every citizen with the in-
aliennble and inestimablc right oil protect
ing from trcspass and desocraiion, his
threshold, his family, and his iireside. And
new that civil law has regaincd its wonted
states and renssoricd its supremacy, they
expect ioappeal to civil tribunals TO re-
dress their grievances.
