extract, headed Judge Black ON

fair report Of an interview Of this
distinguished Pennsylvania Demo,

Washington Capital. The report

in letter to the editors of tho
York Gazette he thus sets himself

From the Chicago Times
The Necessity of the Opposition

1t is fact admitting of no de.
nal that in order to defeat thG
corrupt party whose dcspcrato
leaders arc now using all the pow
ers and all tho vast revenues of tho
Federal Government to continue
their rotten regime, the opposition
must act unitcdIy. This is tho ono
over ruling necessity of the propo.
sition to change the Federal Ad
ministration. There is no visible
way Of escape from it. There is no
probable way to defeat the military
corruptionist who is likely to be tho
Presidential candidate Of that cor
rupt party, bat that which will
unite in ono harmonious body all
the opponents of tho Administra-
tion, whatever their previous polt-
al associations.
The initial attempt to create suclf
u political union has failed. Tho
Republican opponents oftho Admin
istration who gathered ut Cincin-
matt threw away tho grand oppor.
tunity which was offered them by
the nomination of II man who, in.
stead Of uniting the opposition,
has, in tho space of hardly more
than three weeks, hopelcssly di-
vidcd it. There are tens of thou
sands of Republicans who will not
vote for Mr.. Grant. Hardly any
of them have indicated willing
ness to vote for Mr.. Greeley, and it
is fact well known that the major
ity of thcm are unuttcrably against
him. They will not vote for tho
distinctive champion of the patcr-
nal government even TO defeat tho
military administrator of that sys
tenn. As Il Presidential candidate,
Mr.. Greeley has no positive
strength among Republicans, and
is a cause of fatal division and dis
cord among Democrats.

OUTRAGE AND MURDER.

Last Wednesday evening most das~
tardly outrage was committed near Aus
tin, Mississippi, the particulars Of which
we learn from police headquarters, as
follows: About q week ago an aged
German lady named Wise went down to
Austin, fifty miles below here, in search
of her son. She rented little log house
about mile from town, and was living
there alone. Wednesday evening a negro
man, who answers to the name of Henry,
and who had been employed at Austin by
Mr.. Nesbit, went to the house of Mrs.
Wise-Or as she was called there Mother
Wise-and seizing her by the throat
compelled her to submit to his brutal de-
mands Having succeeded in outraging
her person, he deliberately murdered her
by choking her to death. Having done
this he proceeded 10 rob the house, taxi
ing q small sum of money which the old
lady was known to have, and all the
articles of furniture he could convenient
" carry-even taking the shoes from the
dead woman's feet lie then went back
to Austin, where he sold the shoes to a
negro girl named Anna Reid, and said he
was going down the river on the Phil
Allen, which was then due. Instead of
the country. The next morning a gentle~
man riding into town discovered the
body living Just inside the door of the
cabin, and, Increasing his speed, conveyed
the news of what he had seen to the
Austin authorities. The sheriff Of the
county. Mr.. Calvin Perkins, Immediately
started in pursuit of the negro Rend, be
ing Joined by about half dozen colored
men, who volunteered their assistance.
Yesterday morning they got on the trail
I of the black scOundrel, and followed him
| to McCIanahan's Church, ten miles from
| fernando, and twenty five to Austin.
| Perkins was riding in front of the posse
when they came in full view of the ne
| gro, and he dashed forward to capture
| him, but the negro made a leap into a
! dense thicket and effected his escape be-
! fore they could possibly get up with him.
! This wis about four O'clock yesterday
! afternoon, aud up to dark the search was
| vigorously prosecuted, Lut without avail
| it being an easy IN tier for the fugitive
to hide himself away in the dense thicket
by which he was surrounded This
morning Mr.. Perkins came to the city
and left information Of the affair at police
headquarters. Mr.. Nesbit also came M
! this morning on the Phil Allen, stopping
at all Of the landings and putting every
body on the lookout for the fendish
murderer Mr. Perkins says the whole
neighborhood is aroused, and that no ef,
fort will be left untried for the scoun.
