ASSASSINATION OF W. G. WYNN.

The murder of w. G. Wynn,
Esq, in Arkansas last week, has
caused shock in this community
where he studied law, at Howard
University, and graduated with we'll
won honors. He adds another to
the list of martyrs who have fallen
in the terrible struggle in behalf of
liberty going on in this land of
boosted civilization and enlighten-
ment. A land peopled in a large
portion of it by bands of savage
men as barbarous as the inhabitants
Of the cannibal islands, who have
no difficulty in finding gentlemen
Of high legal ability to defend them
in the courts of justice and apollo
gizers in our Legislative halls Muir
dered for his opinions and prin-
ciples, and those opinions and prin-
ciples in strict accord with the
Declaration Of Independence and
the fundamental law of the land.
Vast sums of money are annually
expended in sending missionaries
to heather lands for the conversion
Of their inhabitants to Christianity
and civilization, while here at home
Christianity and civilization sends
her ablest lawyers to defend the
murderers and barbarians who are
striking down those who are striving
to raise higher the standard of
Progress.
The enlightened Democrats of
this country are responsible for
every murder in the South. From
their Representatives in Congress
the barbarous hordes of the South
receive their chief encouragement.
Their "new departures" and passive
policy" are only to give them a
stronger hold on the threats of the
colored people of the South. How
necessary, then, is that colored
people should stand shoulder to
shoulder in support of those colored
men who are best calculated by their
ability and learning to lead them.
This striking down of Wynn was for
the purpose of getting out of the
way a man who understood the
situation, and who was able to ex-
pose the tricks resorted to by "new
departurists" and "passive policy"
advocates to induce the colored
voters of the South to vote into
power their bitter enemies.-Ne,v

The consumption Of rats and
other similar creatures as articles OF
human food is no new thing in the
history OF mankind. It is recorded
of the Chinese that when hard
pressed for animal food they make
no scruple about eating dogs, liz
ards, toads, grubs, cats, rats, and
mice. These unwholesome dishes.
however, are generally disguised by
. oonooction Of gelatinous gravy.
