The Kentucky riots excite some lnteres.
among the northern people. Those people
have maintained the air of almost criminal
indifference TO southern troubles. The Re-
prblicans always handle them TO their own
advantage just previous to an election, but
save for that purpose not much attention is
paid 10 southern disorders in the North. But
the Kentucky riots seem to lie looked upon
with more than ordinary attention. Those
riots are very singular in their history, and
are socially symptomatic to a degree that sets
many TO thinking.
There can be no intelligent opinion that
the white and black races can long live in
harmony upon footing of equality IN the
same community. Sooner or later they must
he separated. Each must live to itself. Col
lisious are inevitable, and, come when they
may, excuses Will be committed. The pro.
liabilities of trouble arc so general that there
must ever be pcrturbcd state Of anxiety in
all communities where the races live neigh
bors The Republicans draw upon their
fancy for southern outrages, and always re-
port them TO the disadvantage of the white
race. Time may come when such disorders
will be more abundant; but when that
comes we imugne the Republicans will be
ired of them, aud would rather prevent
hem than report them.

The Hanging of Two Nurderers in
Corpus Christi
oSB OF THEN MARRIED on THE NIGHT
HIS DEATH.


HIS DEATH.
From the Corpus Christi (Texas) Neuces Valley.
On Friday the second act in the tragedy OF
the PenescaI murderers closed, and two OF
the murderers paid the forfeit of their lives
to the laws Of the country. One Of the per-
sons clmcd to have taken no part in the
murder, but admitted be was present and
took u share of the stolen goods. The other
was active in the Outrage, and he has admit
ted to being engaged in several other muir
ders, among them those of Mr.. Murdock,
Hatch, and Crocker.
A strange ceremony, and one almost uu-
known in the annals of crime. was that Of
the marriage of Hypolito Tapia to his former
mistress while standing as it were with the
rope around his neck. The woman, Trini-
dad Baye>tero, has long been living with
Hypolito, and was the mother Of several Of
his children. To have them legitimatzed as
far as possible she induced Hypolito to con-
sent to marriage, which he readily did.
Soon Thursday evening large number of
bis relatives and friends, and those of the
woman, assembled at the Jail, and were adj
mitted to an interview with the condemned.
The priest soon came. Trinidad is an ordi-
nary. looking woman, with fve-months-old
child in her arms, and was dressed in COM
mon calico dress, with the never-absent black
shawl thrown about her shoulders.
The interview between her and Hypolito
affected both greatly. The Rev. Father G..
Juliet otficiated, amid surroundings in the
highest degree dramatic and solemn. Under
the sentence Of death for the commission OF
terrible murder, and within short twenty
four hours of his doom; within Jail, at one
portion of which stood the dread machinery
| that was 10 launch him into eternity; with
witnesses composed Of his sorroWing and
| weeping relatives and his companion In
crime, doomed at the same time to suffer
death with him; manacled and in chains
| this man stood to take unto himself thai
hollest of all things-a wife! Two Of the
great events Of lfe-marriage aud death
under such circumstances ..r5
| Hypolito, during the ceremony, preserved
calm, collected demeanor, and made al
necessary responses in clear, firm voice
Not so Trinidad, who barely preserved suf
ficient command Of herself to go through tht
ceremony. The marriage concluded, thu
parties present were told that the hour had
come to close the Jail for The night, and they
must part. .v3:t.i .&# /
On the scahold Tapia said: My friends
am here to-day to die by hanging. / have
killed no person, nor helped kill any one
The people forced the person who was guilt,
to swear against me; but it is all right
good bye.''
Davila had nothing to say. BE stood yerJ
still, with his eyes cast down, and evidentl J
communing with himself. IL
/ When the drop fell series Of heart-rend
| ing screams were raised in the crowd. Un
| known to Tapia, his family came to see the
hanging, and they were loud in their lament
ations and expressions of grief. ,.. ;
| The necks Of both men were broken an(
they died without a struggle. .l /;

Our friends of the Enquirer are in high
"crinkum crankum" because the Dispatch
accused the Democratic party of folies. We
shall not question their right to cut caper
10 the premises, but we firmly assert our own
right to complain. The Democratic party is
as much our ass as it is the Enq4irer'S, and
ne shall exercise our right to bit it thwack
whenever We please. We have great
grievance to lay at the door of the Demo
cratic party, and that is negro suffrage with
out delay and without probation. Had the
negro been placed upon probation his be-
coming voter at all would have been pro-
blematical. That is serious charge. The
folly involved in 1t is greater than all the
others; the wrong is stupendous. The De-
mocralic leaders and presses have committed
other follies which we need not particu-
larize, but which have seriously blocked the
way of conservatism.
Look now at some of the leading presses
whica are trying TO force an issue about
/" hard money" upon the party, and also to
force an issue with regard 10 free trade. The
