A negro on the Gibraltar plantation,
aided by woman, seized little boy, and
cut his body and drank the blood then
cut off his upper lip, which was roasted
and eaten. They did these harbarous
acts, Indifferent to the child's cries, which
were finally heard by a man in the neigh
borhood, who rescued the boy. The lit
tie fellow retained his senses and lived
long enough, Notwithstanding the entrails
protruded, to give the particulars of how
he was treated. Intense excitement
prevailed in consequence of the terrible
act

After the shock had passed and subsid-

situation, she found herself standing near
a man, who had nothing on but his shirt.
In az agony of shame she elutched at

and wrapping it around her waist, rushed
into the house, leaving the man as en-
tirely naked as a moment before she had
been herself"

QUITE A DIFFERENCE.

While the democratic party OF New
York has nominated the Tammany rob-
hers upon the State ticket. and will sus-
tain them at the election next Tuesday
the administration at Washington has re-
moved ex-Congressman Stokes OF Iennes'
see from the office of'Supervisor OF Inter
nal Revenue for that State, and will pros
ecute him for fraudulent transactions while
a member of Congress. The difference
between the course of the two parties in
these cases is not more striking than in
others. The one tries to shield the rob-
bers from the consequence. of their crimes
and lift them into responsibility by party
endorsement; the other leads the offender
when discovered to the courts to suffer the
punishment which justice demands. 1t
requires no prophet to foretell which OF
these parties will retain the confidence OF
the public and go on from victory to vic
tory. The party which upheld rebellion
and now upholds kU-kluxism, robbery and
fraudulent voting, is as surely on the swift
road to destruction, as in 1864 and 1868,
and the honest men of the party know and
confess it, and even advise the party to
make no nomination for President in 1872

INITIATED CURRENCY

The Treasury Department is about to re-
woke the regulations which have SO long vexed
the holders of mutilated currency. Under
these regulations holders of mutilated notes
are subjected to loss proportional to the
part missing, unless the owner makes affida-
Wit that the missing parts are, to his knowl-
edge, totally destroyed. Under this rule near
ly quarter of million of dollars has been
lost to holders, and gone into the Treasury
Mr.. Secretary Boutwell,, in his last sum-
mer's Western trip, was brought face to face
with the dilapidated condition Of the Govern
ment currency, and was soon convinced that
1t was proper and just to adopt new rule on
the subject. The regulations proposed in lieu
of those abolished are easy of comprehension
and application, and will be entirely just in
their operations to both the Government and
the people. They consist simply of a provi-
sion that fragments of notes larger than half
shall be redeemed in full, and that fragments
less than half shall not be redeemed at all,
lions have been destroyed.
Inc loss on mutilated notes is often severe
one to the holders, many of whom are labor
ing and poor men. Tradesmen and sharp
dealers usually get rid of mutilated notes and
they pass from hand to hand until at last the
poor and ignorant are the recipients, and
they must either submit to the deductions
made by the Treasury or TO a much create,
shave by the brokers who deal in such stuff
To them, especially, the abolition of tn,
present oppressive system will be benefcen
measure.
