BURLINGTON, Iowa, January ga
Bohemian living in johnson county was
arrested last night 10 answer to an
indictment for a murder said 70 have
been committed in this county fifteen
years ago. The particulars, as far as
ascertained, were to the effect that the
prisoner married a widow with four
children, two Of whom were little girls
! and 9 years old. These little girls
were sent out on an errand and returned
without accomplishing their mission,
which so enraged their stepfather that
he took a club and with it beat th e
youngest girl till life was extinct. He
threatened the mother and other
children with like fate il they revealed
to the public the fearful crime. Thus,
by threats and intimidation he succeeded
in suppressiDg Tor fifteen years the par
ticulars OF this tragedy. 1t was not
until the girl who had accompanied
her sister on that mission had grown
to womanhood and felt safe under the
protecting arm OF her husband that che
appeared before the Grand Jury TO make
oath to the terrible scene she witnessed
when a child.

CINCINNATI.
The Land Grantx-Au Exposure.


CINCINNATI, January 22.-The fol-
lowing is special to the Tfmss and
Chronicle this evening, dated Washing
ton, %: An exposure was made before
the House Judiciary committee on Sat.
urday, which, if correctly stated, will
cause a sensation throughout the coun.
try, and especially in financial circles.
The story, as told by member OF
the committee, is this The st. Joseph
and Denver City Railroad Company
have issued land grant bonds 10 the ex'
tent Of g .0O0,00o, which are covered.
as they allege, by grant Of lands in
Kansas amounting 10 one million five
hundred acres. A letter Of the Com.
missioner OF the General Land Office
was read, stating that this company
is entitled 10 less than 100000 acres OF
land under existing laws, and that
lands which they claimed in their cir.
cular and advertisements for the sale OF
lands as belonging to them, were
granted TO other companies previous
to the passage of the act creating their
company. Ii was therefore charged
that this company has been for some
time practicing gross deception upon
the public in order to dispose of their
bonds. 4 member OF the committee
says the matter is regarded as very
serious, and it is probable that all the
facts in the case will be presented 10
the House for such action as they deem
proper.

Hooster and the Railroad.

On last Saturday evening, the 18th
inst, a number Of the business men OF
Wooster met for the purpose of soliciting
citizens to procure a new railroad
through Wooster, from the fact that
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad has
suspended action in regard to Wooster
for one year, and hence is regarded as
failure. The Democrat says that
among the propositions were the Wheel,
ing and Lake Erie road; the North
and South Road from Coshocton to
some point on Lake Erie by way of
Killbuch Valley, with an open point at
Grafton. Other minor roads and
branches were mentioned and their
merits and obstacles argued. The
Coshocton project is probably the one
the Millersburg Republican refers to,
when it says there is actually a north
and south railroad fever for a line
from the north, intersecting the Cleve-
land, Mt. Vernon and Delaware rail-
road at Millersburg. and from thence
to Dresden, the northern terminus OF
the GAINESVILLE, or Muskingum Valley
route.

a bad government. What could men
expect where intelligence and honesty
were excluded, and the Legislature was
put in the hands OF men, three-fourths
of whom could not read or write, and
who were manipulated by shameless
and incorruptible adventures from
Northern States. Millions of dollars
were voted out OF the security Of respon'
sible people, already ground to the
earth with taxation by the Legislature,
who did not even pay their
poll tax. The State debt OF Louisiana
had, since the reconstruction, increased
from almost nothing to over SAC, O,OOO,'
COO, and the debt Of the other recon
structed States had been increased in the
same way over 100000 900, and the
whole South, except Virginia, was
bankrupt from North Carolina TO the
Rio Grande. The gentlemen from the
South might seek to hide it but the
Southern States are now dependent
upon the indulgence Of their creditors.
This, Republicans, is your work. After
six years of experience you realize that
you built wrongly.
Mr.. Voorhees, speech was quite
lengthy, and was listened to with pro-
found attention.
Mr.. ShelIabarger briefly replied
arraigning Voorhees, for having BY
implication denounced the Fourteenth
and Fifteenth Amendments. Recon
struction was based an act Of justice
and suffrage for land that was what
Democrats would now reverse if they
had the power.
Mr.. Beck denied that the people oi
the South were equal before the law,
and large proportion of the Southern
people representing the intelligence and
thrift OF that section, were disfranchlsed.
Pending speech by Mr.. Stevenson,
in which he argued that the wealth OF
the Southern States had increased
800, 100000 under reconstruction, Mr..
Kerr read a telegram which had just
been received from New Orleans setting
forth the fearful condition OF affairs
there, praying the committee to come
in, and saying that martial law would
be gladly hailed.
The resolution was passed, and at
$50 the House adjourned.
