THE WHITE LEAGUE MURDERS IN ALA
BAMA.-Government detectives Hester and
Beach, who have been made so prominent by
their operations for the last three months in
Alabama, returned to Washington yesterday.
Their report, which is very volumiuous and de-
tailed, confirms the reports of Gen. Mcdowell
and Capt, Mills, and the official and private
information of the President and Attorney
General 1t reveals a widespread terrorism
caused by the WhteLeague, and shows that the
cOOred race are unprotected and will long have
reason at the polls to forget aud forgive nothing
The policy of the White League was to kill all
the Republican leaders, and they would have
carried it out to the fullest extent but for the
timely arrival of United States troops, and
they now oprnly declare that when the troops
are withdrawn they will make the woods stink
with dead niggerr and will fill the rivers with
their bodies. Within the last week colored
boy, 10 years of age, was kidnapped from his
parents, William and Martha Davidson, by
Thaddeus May. white man, who was intend
ing to take him to Texas. The mother in her
distress came to Livingstone and applied to the
Trott and Thos. d. Cobbs, for warrant for
Mays arrest, and both refused to grant it, and
it was only by the efforts of the United States
authorities that the child was rescued and re-
turned to its mother.
The colored people dare not make their suf-
assured that they are in the presence of friends
that they ever venture to speak of their wrongs.
The white Republicans live in constant fear,
and since the election the number of threaten
ing letters which they have been accustomed to
receive has been increasing. The following Is
copy of one recently received by Judge James
Abrahams:
"MoBILE, Nov. 8, 1874.
Judge A6rdhdnes and others Dear sirs.-
Sumter county has gone Radical; you and
Hayes & Co., are reinstated in Office. Now,
will tell you what 1 know. Renfrow and
others will be at liberty before Jan. 1st, ana
there are other determined men in Sumter
sworn and banded together to kill you, Abra-
hams, Wayne and Hayes, as they say to have
brought all this trouble on the county. As for
Detective Hester, he cannot escape being
killed, even if should leave the United States
They are sworn to follow him to the end of the
earth and take his life, aud fear there are
many otherslwho will go likewise when Renfrow
is again at liberty. So look out for yourselves.

Putnam vs. Goodwin.

10 the Editor OF the Press:
KrrTERY, Nov 10Th, 1874.
Mr. Goodwin has testified and, in replication,
beg leave to put in the following evidence:

The above recommendation was made by the
advice and consent of the commandant of the

ing carried out the following osder was sent:

have no personal feeling against the Mr..
Goodwin and considered him a gentleman up-
til he called me liar, or words TO that effect
He is too fortunate for me, in having such now
erful friends before, and behind the tbrope NV
letter was not written for political effect. I
have yainly tried every other proper means TO
obtain justice and appeal to printers ink as a
last resort.
To the best of my knowledge and belief, I
was appointed writer through the efforts of
Commodore Pennock and Captain Fairfax. af-
ter vainly trying for taoo years to obtain gov.
ernment position through massachusetts and
New Hampshire influence" Including thar af
the present Vice-President of the United
States.
Mr. Goodwin says that to his certain kuowl-
edge, never held clerkship in the Navy
Yard. What is a writer bur clerk? The
point is a dull one.
In relation to his fling about my shirking NV
political duties, have to say thar, only ONCE
last March-have l failed to vote the straight
borough county, N. FL.
Last year moved to Kittery. Twas doubt
ful whether should be allowed to vote at hons

October, while l absent at Washington TO try

tIrely matter of money with me. 1t is the in

THE PORTLAND MONTREAL LINE-The cap

Railroad say that 1900 men are at work along
the line Of the new Portland and Montreal
Railroad, which it is expected win be com
pleted and open for business in September,
1875 The force is larger than is engaged on
any similar enterprise in the country, aud will
be fully maintained-possibly increased-dur-
ing the winter. On the White Mountain
division of eleven miles, nearly 1000 men are
employed. The work on this section has been
found lighter and less expensive than was ex-
pected, the rock below the surface formation

to complete the roadbed On the Vermont
division the grading Is almost completed aud
next month, the rails will be laid and the road
opened to johnson. six miles further down the
Lamoille Valley than Hyde Park, the present
terminus On the Canada end of the line be-
tween 300 and 400 men have been at work, aud
in months time can finish the grading
The funds for prosecuting the work on the
northern division have been secured in Canada
and England. 1t is expected that the force
now at work in the White Mountains will so
far complete that section of the line that 1t
Will be open for business in time for the sum
mer travel of next year Passengers will then
reach the principal White Mountain hotels
without staging, and to accomplish the round
trip from Saratoga and through the mountains

shorter than any other possible between Port
