Some two years ago the citizens of this county
were startled by the terrible details of muir
derous abortion in SciotovilIe. Facts elected
that a young girl had been adroitly influenced
to leave the home of her parents, by designing
into service in his family. While there he Sc
duced her, and when the period arrived which
would soon make public her shame, the wife
was sent away, and the girl locked up alone in
the Villains house, where, unknown to her
parents or any friend, she deliberately
butchered by her seducer and an accomplice
calling himself a physician, in the desperate at
girls life had been literally cut out of her and
secrecy could no longer be maintained, the
teTror-stricke en-, broken -hear1ed parents parents were
loved daughter, slaughtered in her youth and
beauty by fiends incarnate. A more inhuman,
soul-curdling murder was never perpetrated in
any community. There were the usual forms
of law carried out by arrest, taking bail, and
continuance from term to term, until now,
after the lapse of two years, the case is dropped
from the docket by 1aole prosequi. The State
The poor girl sleeps in her lonely grave
and her parents only look for peace when they
shall lie down beside her. Meantime the per-
petrators of this damning QUIT age go free.
We cannot resist the impression that there Is
a dark history to this whole affair that will one
day be dragged out to the light. We further be-
neve that extraordinary means in eXtraordfna-
ry quarters were .resorted to, to defeat justice
and shield parties from their doubly deserved
punishment. In saying this we do not wish to
be understood as rejecting upon any officer
We not prepared to say they have not done
the best they could under the very silent and
peculiar circumstances they had to contend
with. But that such fearful crime that would
put even the most barbarous savages to shame
should be committed in a Christian community
and go unpunished is a sad commentary upon
our so-calIed boasted civilization.
1t is such cases @ the above that causes
a resort to lynch law possible, and often
necessary. The administration of crimi
nal law in this country has long been 6
miserable farce. No man need fear pun
ishment if he has money That will
bring him friends, of the kind he needs
and with money and friends any rogue
can escape.

has held prominent place among the clergy of

his sentiments, whether likely to be acceptable

1t was expected that Mr.. CranSton would take
quite lately, but the church in Evansville,
which is one OF the largest and most influential

as a pastor and pulpit orator, several weeks
ago. without Mr.. c. IS knowledge, sent COM

ReS0tUed, That special recognition of Broth

to satisfactory conclusion without being q
burdensome debt on the church, is justly due
and that for this self-imposed and extra labor
he has our sincere gratitude.

Here is the conclusion of letter we
find in the Y. Y. Tribune:

believe i may safely assert that out of the
100000 Confederate troops who surrendered in
1865, there is not man who would seek to
raise his hand against the Federal Govern
ment; and here is where President Grant is
mistaken in the Southern people. The South
ern people are proud, Sir, OF the stand you have
taken in their behalf and they will not only
prove to you that they are no longer rebels
mean war of races; that they have been and
still willing to accord to the black man his
rights, but at the same time, as the people OF
the North would do under like circumstances,
they mean To maintain their own. The Civil
Rights bill, if passed by Congress, will be the
death knell of the South for the next fifty
years. 1t will lead to more frequent disturb
anceS between the whites and blacks, and ulti-
mately result in the eXJ1rpatlon OF the negro
race or his removal from this country. look
event. The unceasing internal connections
growing out of the negro question will force the
Federal Government to take some action with
him. The passage of the Civil Rights bill will
houses OF Congress and get the Presidents sigma
ture and the Federal Government will have to
support an army of 100000 men to enforce it;
WARD.
just such threats as the above make it
absolutely necessary that Congress
should pass the Civil Rights Bill at once.
Let caucus of the Republican members
be held the first night of the session,
and every Republican be requested to
vote for it, and woe to that Republican
who backs down. Let the law be en-
| forced if it take two millions of men to
do it.

Political Organization i'm this
-, - CITY. .
From the New Orleans Picayitne.

The committee of Seventy held Il
meeting at their rooms Oh Wednesday
evening, to consider the political situa-
ton and, determine on the action to
which they would commit themselves.
A resolution was introduced at this
meeting, bytMr. Edward Booth, in favor
of the support and Identification of the
committee with the Democratic primary
meetings to be heidi in the several wards.
This resolution was vigorously opposed
by several members, who denounced the
character and baneful influence of these
ward organizations, and deprecated any
utilization with a party which, SO far as
this State was concerned, could hardly
be considered as in existence, and was
certainly far from an effective and har-
moniOus organization, The majority
OF the committee were not willing to
narrow down their objects and move
ments to a strict partisan standard and
programme and to exclude all those
good and honest citizens who might de-
sire to cooperate in these purely local
and State reforms and measures. Nor
had they any idea of identifying them
selves with the notorious and offensive
spirit and character of ward clubs and
primary assemblages, which have gen

and ambitions of an obnoxious class of
office-seekers and small demagogues.
They would stand aloof from all such
entangling alliances. Whether the Ma
tional Democracy could aid them in
their State contest depended upon fu-
ture events. They must wait to see.
But for the present the urgent demand
was for the emancipation of our State
from the bfighting influence of the cor
rupt and incompetent persons who now
hold the Government. To that end
they invited and solicited a rally Of all
honest and patriotic citizens, without
regard to their antecedents, to names
or party designations. These views, on
d vote of the committee, proved to be
largely in the ascendency. The ward
meetings organizers were left in the
yocative. a<I" t.tyIA @at'"3-
