Deliberate Rape of a Little Girl at
UrbanR. Ohio.

URBANA, Ono, Jan. 17.-Last
Tuesday at noon daughter of j.
B. Morgan, of this city, aged nine
years, was enticed from the center
of the city by stranger, under
pretense of sending money to her
father. Arriving at the edge of
town he commenced to threaten
and force her along until they had
gone about four miles from where
they had started. In an unfre
quented woods he built fire and
then committed a rape upon her.
He then brought her back to the
suburbs, and she found her way
home. The next morning the
citizens turned out and made pur
suit, armed with very precise de-
scription of the clothing of the man,
and he was captured at Narysville,
twenty four miles distant. He con.
fessed the deed and in every par
ticuiar corroborated the statement
of the child, and as we'll of a man
who had seen them together in the
woods. Thursday morning he was
brought before Mayor Brand and
then again publicly confessed his
crime, and gave his name as
George W. Ullery, of Buchanan,
Be1rien county, Mich. So intense
was the indignation of the entire
population of the city, that it was
with difficulty the Sheriff and
posse of fifty men could return him
to the Jail. The people were
aroused, and Thursday night a
mob assaulted the jail and secured
the jailor, but the Sheriff, whose
courage is of the cool and determ-
ined sort, forced the mob to with
draw, and saved the wretch's life.
A determined spirit, however,
settled down over the people, and
a party organized which successfully
carried it's plans into execution.
This morning at 4 o clock about
400 men, fully disguised, went
quietly to the jail and battered
down the door. Fifteen or twenty
rushed in, one half securing the
guards, four in number, and the
others Immediately breaking the
lock to the double doors of the
cell, and of the cage inside where
Ullery was confined. They bound
him, took him to a tree in the
Court house yard and hanged him.
They performed their work in just
twelve minutes. The Coroner cut
him down, an inquest was held, a
large number of witnesses being
examined, and the verdict was,
death by hanging, at the hands of
a body of disguised men unknown
to the jury.-Indianapolis Journal.

cheaply that when men are killed on
account of their political opinions the
murderers are regarded rather as
heroes than af criminals in the locali-
ties where they reside, and by the
White League and their supporters.
An illustration of the ostracism
that prevails in the State may be
found in resolution of the White
League club in the parish of DeSota,
which states that they pledge them
selves under no circumstances after
the coming election to employ, rent
land to, or in any other manner give
aid, comfort or credit any man, white
or black, who votes against the nomi-
nees of the White man S party. Safety
for individuals who express their
opinion in isolated portions of this
State has existed only where that
opinion was IN favor of the principles
and party supported by the Kuklux
and White League organizations.

sas, and come to this city by way of
Memphis. He further states that
while his father was lying at the point
of death in the same village he was
unable to visit him for fear of assas-
sination, and yet he is a native of the
parish and prescribed for his political
sentiments only. 1t Is more than
probable that if bad government has
existed in this State it is the result of
the armed organizations which have
now crystalized into what is called the
White League. Instead of bad gov
ernment developing them they have,
by their terrorism, prevented to a con-
siderable extent, the collection of
taxes. the holding of courts, the pun
ishment of criminals and vitiated pub

the scenes above described. l am

for detailed report upon the above

Rresidenf,R Message.

Commencing on our first page and
concluded on second, is the message
of President Grant on the terrible sit
uation in Louisiana, he stands square
ly up to the position he has all along
maintained on the Louisiana question.
There is no shrinking from response
bility, no hesitancy in fixing the guilt
where it belongs, and no abated ex-
preston of his resolute determination
to discharge the duties imposed upon
him by law. After SO many lying ru
mors, it is gratifying to know that his
emphatic opinions and purposes are
fully sustained by every member of
his Cabinet lie will have a like
support from Republicans and law
abiding Democrats throughout the
nation.

Louisiana.

AS the truth comes out about
the troubles in Louisiana, Northern
Democratic politicians will be able
to see, that in their haste to manu-
facture party capital out of the
affair, they have exhibited good
deal more zeal than sense. And
whether the politicians see it or
not, the great mass of honest peo
pie, who while they may be par
tisans, are nevertheless just, do
recognize the palpable fact, that
this gushing sympathy expressed
over the miseries and expressions
of ''sister State is all in behalf
of the domineering: proscriptive,
armed White Leaguers of that
State. No tears are shed, no reso-
lutions passed nor no sympathy
expressed for the three or four
thousand murders that have been
committed there in the last three
or four years. Members of the
Legislature can be kidnapped in
open day, and held for days in
durance vile, in order that set of
desperate revOlutlOn1sts may by
force and fraud get possession of
the organization of the popular
branch of the Legislature; but no
word of remonstrance is heard
from our Democratic patriots who
are writing messages and passing
resolutions over the crushed
liberties of a sister State When
honest men call to mind the terrible
scenes of blood enacted in New
Orleans in 1868 at the meeting of
the Constitutional Convention, the
overthrow of the State authorities
in last September and the lawless
violence by which the man, Wilt,
and his crew got possession of the
organization of the House on the
4th inst, they will want to know
more of the facts than our Demo
Gratis have, before they tear their
clothes over the presence of q few
soldiers in that city of violence
and revolution.-Eaton Register.

The recent speech of Senator
Morton on the Louisiana question,
in reply to that of Schurz, though
evidently impromptu, was in his
best and strongest style. After Civ
ing an admirably condensed review
of Louisiana politics during the last
eight or nine years, he passed to
and intolerance practiced by the
Democrats toward all Republicans,
white and black. He showed con-
clusively that it is the fixed purpose
of the White Leaguers toroot out
the Republican party in the State
and to practically extinguish the
doctrine of equal rights. The crow
ded state of our columns prevents
us from giving the speech in full,
but the following ringing extract
is respectfully commended to the
White League sympathizers:
"Why, Mr.. President has not
Northern man the right to go to
Louisiana and hold Office if the peo
pie choose 10 elect him? Is that
crime? Do they not go from the
East to the Western States and
become candidates for Office, and
become Governors and members
of Congress7 Any man can go to the
State of Indiana. and if his talents
ard his character will induce the
people of that State to elect him
to Office, there is no political enemy
to stand up there and talk about
lis being a carpet Dagger. There
is no man who denies his right be
cause he was born in Massachusetts
or in South Carolina,sto go to In
diana or any Northern State and
hold office; and yet the fact that
Northern men hold Office in the
South is put forward as a crime;
they are denounced as adventures
and carpet-baggers. Many OF these
men have remained there with their
lives 10 their hands, submitted to
every species of contumely and dis
grace, driven from society, driven
from business, open compacts and
leagues made not to trade with
them, not to do business with them,
and resort to all the machinery of
business and society to drive them
out. A man is talked about as an
intruder because he went there
from Indiana or some other North
ern State Thank God, Louisiana is
q part of my country, and the PEG
pie from Indiana have as much
right to go there as to any North
ern State, and if they can obtain
the confidence of the negroes or of
the white men, or of a majority of
the voters in any county or coun-
ties, to be elected to Office, it is
their right.
''Mr. President, all that we ask |
on behalf of the South, and of ev
cry other State, is fair play, secur-
ity for life, security for liberty, the
of equal rights. We
ask that, and we will be content
with nothing else. We shall not |
be put off by these howlings |
against carpet baggers. Blood Is
thicker than water, and protection |
to the lives of men is the highest ;
political consideration for govern
ment. The highest duty OF Gov j
in this or any other
country, is to protect the lives of
the people; and wherever govern
ment fails to do that, it comes short
Of discharging its highest func
tions."- Journal

Another Report from Gen. Sheridan.
New ORLEANS. Jan. 49,

New ORLEANS, Jan. 49,
TO the Hon. w. w. Belknap, Sec O: War
A report has just been received
folm Major Merrill, at Shreveport.
which is too long for telegraphic
transmission, but will be, sent by
mail. The following epitome is
almost in Major Merrilrs own
words: The threats made before
the election to drive from the com
munity all that voted the radical
ticket are being carried out. Com
binations among the whites are
forming, and recruiting, by every
form of pressure, by which all the
negroes who voted the radical
ticket are to be refused work or
leases. All the whites not belong
ing to the combination are to be
ostracised. Already more than
five hundred families, including at
least two thousand people of all
ages and sexes, are wanderers,
without means to go elsewhere, and
powerless to find other homes.
They are on the verge of starvation
in midwinter. Theft and other
crimes may result, and it is feared
that the bitter feeling naturally
resulting from the sense of injustice
received may run into one of re-
venge. These homeless people
will gradually drift together, and
the white people are not slow, as
the past has shown, to set afioat
infammatory rumors of intentions
of organized violence on the part
OF the negroes. Where the revolv
er and mob law are the common
resort in such cases, as they usually
have been here, disorders more or
less extensive are the result if
some preventive is not found for
such state of things.

not receiving only a small fraction
above the $1,000 awarded that otlcer
by the Telegram-taking Mr.. John
sons pay as an average of Mr.. Park
er's.
Mr.. Johnson's clerk hire was only
about $500 per year, whereas, Mr.. T.
is about S2,OO0-he has two clerks
constantly employed, and, occasional
ly has extra help-besides being con-
stantly worker himself.
By doing much of the work himself,
and having it done in his family-by
strict economy and careful manage
ment of his funds, Mr.. johnson was
fortunate enough to have about S, 600
when his official term expired, and
when the Irvington enterprise pre-
scented itself, he took hold of it, and
his capital thus fortunately invested
has yielded him ten fold. This is the
secret of Mr.. Us success-it was not
owing to exhorbitant fees received
and the immense income from them;
it was his economy and saving and
judicious use of his means, that has
placed him in his present. prosperous
condition-had he done otherwise. he
might have come out of the Office with
next to nothing, as many of the off,
GERS of our county have done. So
much for Mr.. johnson.
Suppose the aggregate during Mr..
Parker's eight years, is the same as
Mr.. Us. He pays about $1,000 per
year deputy hire, which would make
his salary 81, 192-only 1882 more
than the Telegram fixes it. But the
business Of this Office is increasing
every year as our population increases;
hence the clerk help, it is fair to in
fer, would have to increase also to
keep it in prompt working order. In
this view-would the Telegram still
insist that $1,000 was ample salary"
considering his increased expenses
for help? It is very easy to talk about
"exhorbitant and demoralizing sal
aries" but these facts and figures We
have given do not look like either.

lamation Of the 10Th of September,
1874, was issued This served to re :
lnstate Governor kellogg to his posi-
ton nominally, but it cannot be claim
ed that the insurgents have to this
day surrendered to the State authori-
ties the arms belonging to the State,
or that they have In any sense disarm-
ed. On the contrary, it is known that
the armed organization that existed
on the 18th Of September, in opposi-
ton to the recognized State govern
ment, still retain their organization,
equipments and commanders, and can
be called out at any hour to resist the
State government. Under these cir
cumstances the United States military
force has been continued in Louisi-
ana, as it was sent there under the
first call and under the same general
III tructlons. | repeat, that task as
sumed by the troops is not a pleasant
one to them. The army is not COM
posed of lawyers, capable of judging
at moments notice of just how far
they can go In matters of law and or
der, and it was impossible to give
specific instructions providing for all
possible contingencies that might
arise. Yet the troops were bound to
act upon the judgment of their COM
handing officers upon such sudden
contingencies as arise without instruc-
tons, which could only reach them
after the threatened wrongs had been
committed which they were called on
to prevent. 1t will be recollected,
too, that upon my recognition of the
Kellogg Government | reported the
fact, with the grounds of the recogni-
ton. to Congress, and asked that body
to take action in the matter; other
wise l should regard their silence as
acquiescing in the course. No action
has been taken by that body, and [
have maintained the position marked
out. If error has been committed by
the army in these matters it has al
ways been on the side of the preser-
walton of good order, the maintenance
OF law, and the protection of life, and
reflects credit upon the soldiers, and
if wrong has resulted the blame is
with the turbulent elements surround
ing them.
l now earnestly ask that such action
be taken by Congress as to leave my
duties perfectly clear in dealing with
the affairs of Louisiana, giving assur-
ance at the same time that whatever
may be done by that body in the prem
ises will be executed according to the
spirit without fear or favor.
