THERE is a sad state of affairs in
Mississippi. The lawless negroes are
riotiDg, plundaring and numbering at
their own sweet will, and there is no
one ito modest or make them afraid.
The Courts being in the hands of
mean blacks and meancr white scala
wags, law is virtually suspended, and
there is no protection for life or prop
erty. Assassination is rife, and negro
juries acquit negro murderers and
turn them loose uron the helpless
community to-. repeat their hellish
crimes. And when the people, exas-
perated by the immunity enjoyed by
these rufians, and hopeless of legal
protection, take the law in their own
hands and hang murder or two,
United States troops are sent to over
awe them and addthe terrors of martial
law to the already distressful situa-
ton. These are some of the beauties
of negro rule in unhappy Mississippi.

blob at Los Angeles.

A few days ago feaIful riot oc-
CURED at Los Angeles, California
An officer attempted to arrest a Chi
naman for shooting another. The
Chinese from both sides of the street
opened fire on the officer and his as
sistants. One man was shot through
the breast and died. The officer was
shot through the shoulder, but made
his escape. A mob, mainly native
Californians, then attacked the whole
Chinese quarters, firing from the roofs
of the houses, and killing one woman
and two men. Fifteen hundred armed
men prevented any of the Chinese
from escaping, sixteen of whom were
hanged by the mob, one child only
eight or nine. years old. They were
frightfully beaten and maltreated be-
fore being hanged. Only one OF those
hanged had been identified as engaged
in shooting at the officers.
Isn't this such state of affairs as
demands some notice at the hands of
the President? If it had occurred in
one of the Southern States no time
would have been lost in sending regi-
ments of soldiers to the scene of the
disturbance.

Death of General Robert Anderson.

a despatch was received in Cincin-
natl on Friday morning from from a
son of Larz Anderson, who has been
travelling with his uncle, announcing
the death of General Robert Ander-
son, the hero of Fort Sumpter, at
Nice, France, On Thursday last. -
General Anderson was born in
Kentucky in the year 1905, and entered
the army from West Polntin 1926. He
served with distinction in, the cams
paigns against the Sac and Semiole
Indians, and as Captain in the Third
Artillery did good service'in our war
with Mexico. He received a wound
in the battle of Molino del Rey, which
was the source of much of his after
ill-health.
On the breaking out of the war with
the Southern States, Major Anderson
had command of the defenses of
Charlestown harbor, and held Fort
Sumpter as long as it was capable of
defense, marching out with the honors
of war. He was afterward promoted
to the rank of Brigadier-General, and
had command of the Departments of
Kentucky and Cumberland, but was
compelled by his ill-health to retire
from active duty. In 1868 he was re-
tired with the rank and pay of Briga-
dier-General.
In1S65 he was breveted to the rauk
of Major-General for his services at
Fort Sumpter.
General Anderson had translated
from the French, two works, :'Instruc-
tions in Field Artillery" 1910, and
" Evolutions of Field Batteries 1869,
which were adopted for the service of
the United States.
General Anderson had gone abroad
in the hope of improving his health,
which had been much impaired by his
wound and arduous duties in the

Death of Hon. Thomas Ewing.

The venerable statesman and jurist,
Thomas Ewing, sen., died at his resi-
dence in Lancaster, Ohio, at half past
three O'Clock on the afternoon of
Thursday last, in the eighty-second
year of his age. All his sons and
daughters were with him, and he re-
tained his faculties almost to the last
moment.
The deceased was born in Ohio
county, Virginia, December 2Sth, 1889.
After the close of the Revolutionary
War, his father, who had taken an
active part in the struggle, removed
with his family to the Valley of the
Muskingum, in Ohio, and in 1892
he repaired to a frontier settlement,
now known as Athens County. In
this wild region young Thomas
spent his boyhood, and at the age OF
twenty he went to work in the Kama
wa salt mandatory, where he labor
ed two or three years. He was taught
to read by an older sister, and gave
early indications of remarkable intel
lectual activity. By prudence and
economy he saved enough from his
scanty earnings to purchase farm for
his father, and with the meager sur
plus he entered the Ohio University
and pursued his studies with OCCASION
al interruptions till 1915, when he
graduated, receiving the degree of A.
B., the first ever issued by that insti-
tution. He stndied law in Lancaster,
and was admitted to practice in 1916,
and rapidly acquired wealth and dis
tinction in the profession. In 1881 he
was elected to the United States SEN
ate by the Wings, and took leading
pasition in that body, an became the
friend and colleague of Clay and Web
ster. Upon the expiration of his SEN
atorial term he returned to Lancaster
and resumed the practice of the law.
Upon the election of General Harri-
son to the Presidency. Mr.. Ewing, who
had been warm supporter, was ap-
pointed Secretary of the Treasury, the
duties of which responsible position
he continued to discharge under Pres
ident Tyler. Upon the differences
which arose between the President
and his Cabinet on the question of the
vetoing the United States Bank bill,
Mr.. Ewing. with all the rest of the
Cabinet, encept Mr.. Webster, resign
ed. The Office of Secretary of the In
terror having been created under Cen
eral Taylor, Mr.. Ewing accepted the
position and organized the Depart
ment, and during his term recon-
mended several amendments of pub
lie importance in his reports. When
MIR. Fillmore came into Office, the diff
ferences upon the subject of Congress
sional legislation on.the question of
slavery, induced him to resign, and
Thomas Corwin was appointed his
successor. and he was appointed by
the Governor to serve the uncxpired
ter of Mr.. Corwin in the Senate. In
1851 he again returned to Lancaster,
his old home, and resumed the prac-
tice of the law, and was engaged in
many important litigations requiring
the highest order of talent, and al
ways acquitted himself with distin-
guished credit. He will ever be re-
as one of great men of the
State and nation.
The funeral of Mr.. Ewing took place
onSaturday forenoon at eleven o'clock.

Radical Rasca1ity in Texas.

The recent election in Texas resulted
in the defeat of the Radical party in
that State and the election of the en-
tire Democratic candidates to Congress
in spite of all the repeating, ballot-box
stuffing and military tyranny employ
ed to secure a Radical victory. The
telegraph now announces that the
Court at Austin has taken the matter
in hand, andin order to defeat the
clearly expressed will of the people,
have thrown out the votes of enough
Democratic counties to give the State
to the Radicals, and that Of all the
Democratic candidates elected but one
will receive the certificate. The fraud
is so alarming that one of the Radicals
whom they thus endeavor to count in
refused to receive the certificate, al
leging that his competitor received the
majority of votes.

Murder Near New Phi1adelphia.

On Friday afternoon last this COM
munity was startled by the report
that murder had just been perpetra-
ted in Fairfield township, about four
miles from New Philadelphia. A
man named Yrs Biddicoffer, renter
on the lands of Fred. Aegeter seems
to have had some misunderstanding
with the latter about the crops, and
also about daughter of Biddieoffer
whom Aegeter wished to marry.
Aegeter, as the story goes, was forbid
den to come about Biddicoffer's house
where he had frequently visited. On
Friday forenoon, above stated, Aege-
ter went upon the premises. where he
was met by Biddicoffer, and between
the two an alteration soon arose,
which led to a personal collision.
Biddicoffer seized a hoe handle, and
with it knocked Aegeter down, fol-
lowing up with several violent blows
upon the fallen mans head, crushing
in his skull and leaving him dead
upon the ground. Biddicofer then
came to New Philadelphia, and told
one or more persons of the difficulty,
but that he didn't know whether he
had killed him or not. He, then went
to the County Infirmary, told about
the same story there, and again leav-
ing that place he eluded the search of
officers until the latter part of Friday
night, when he was arrested and lodg-
ed in Jail. Biddicoffer has heretofore
been adjudged non eompos mentis by
the Probate Court, and was an inmate
ofthe InfirInary, only having left that
institution few days before the COM
mission of the deed above stated.
Aegeter was mere dwarf of a man,
physically, and badly crippled by hav-
ing one hand off, and but two or
three fingers on the other. The case
will likely be disposed of at the ap-
preaching term of court this month.

AFTER all the CANNON about the
Philadelphia election riots, says the
Pittsburg Post, it turns, out that they
were caused by Radical negroes beat
ing men of their own race from the
polls because they propose to vote the
Democratic ticket. This is only fol-
lowing the advice of the sanity Jen-
kins in his speech at Steubenville,
Ohio. " Hang every negro who does
not vote the Radical ticket" to the
tune of
Praise God from whom all blessings how.''

The latest advices from Spartans-

lima, confirm the previous reports that
the United States officials, backed by
the soldiery, have instituted reign
of terror. Innocent citizens are drag
ged from their homes in the night and
thrown into Jail with common felons
Instances are given where men were
torn from their families without being
allowed to make any preparation for
their journey, and were forced to ride
ten, twenty and thirty miles and then
confined in leathsome dungeons.
. Up to Tuesday eighty-fve persons
in York had been put in Jail, and other
arrests are being made. AT one point
in Union county the soldiers went to
a gentleman's house to arrest him. He
was absent, and they invaded every
room in his house and carried away
his private arms. He was licensed
distiller, and after helping themselves
freely they poured the residue of the
liquor on the ground.
The GreenvilIe passenger train was
stopped while on its way to Columbia
on Tuesday by a detachment of
United States soldiers in search of
so-called Ku. Klux. The officers passed
through the train and inspected the
occupants, but made no arrests.
