pD- Urbana, Champaign county, has
been the theatre Of mob violence. The
punishment inflicted was none too Sc
we're, but the method Of il cannot be
justified. A little girl dine years old
was returning from school on the 18th,
when she was enticed into the woods by
a man who ruthlessly violuted her per
son. The villain then built fire, evil
IDENTIFY intending to murder and cremate
the child, but y hunter coming along
surprised him, and he gave over the
deed and took the child part way home.
She was in such misery, ON reaching
home, she could not give an account OF
the affair, but next morning did, and
kilograms were sent everywhere. The
villain, who turned out to be G. w.
Ullery of Buchanan Michigan, was
arrested at Marysville, confessed the
crime, was returned to Urbana and con.
fined to Jail. The indignation among
the people grew intense, and an attempt
was made to take him from the Jail anc
hang him on the night of the 14th, but
failed. Sunday, however, the effort was
renewed and proved successful. The
guard was overcome and the crimina
brought out and hung to tree in from
of the court house. The little girl was
a daughter Of J. W. Morgan.

In another part of this paper will be
found the Presidents Message on Louis
lana affairs, in response to the resolution
calling for information. 1t is an able
document, and has in it the ring Of
the right spirit. He gives mar
ration of the events which have trans
pired in that State since the first efforts
to reconstruct it according to law; re-
cites the bloody riots Of 1866 and 1868,
as evidence of the evil disposition prev
alent in the State; refers to thc
conspiracy to carry. the election
in 1872, and pronounces it a gigan-
tic fraud. But the court having juris-
diction of the matter under the Fifteenth
Amendment decided Kellogg entitled to
the position of Governor, and recogniz-
ing its decision, wheu its process was
resisted, he could not do otherwise than
enforce its DEGREES. Then follows a re-
lation of the crimes and outrages perpe-
trated by the White Leaguers, refer
ence to the action of the Returning
Board, and an examination of the facts
ELECTED in regard to the opening of the
Legislature on the 4th inst, all of which
viii be found interesting, and should be
attentively read by every one.

Points from LOgan's Louisiana Speech

In his great Seneca speech, General
Logan is represented as wanting to
know what the resolutions introduced
into Che Virginia Legislature calling the
Governors Of the States to assemble
their Legislators in special session
meant. DO they propose to secede
He had seen such resolutions fourteen
yoars ago, and the result was a bloody
war They are told the North is tired
of this Republican rule, and is ready to
yield and stand by these lawless opera
tions in the South He warned them
not to be deceived by such false cries.
They had been deceived by them once.
"Do not fatter yourselves you can
usurp the power of the Government
and trample under foot the rights of the
people, white or black, without calling
forth from the Northern people that
same feeling which was once made SO
terribly manifest"
Referring to Senator Bayards remark
that Sheridan's dispatches showed him
to be unfit to breathe the air of Re
public, he said eff Sheridan, after
having done as much as any man to pre-
serve this Republic, was not fit to
breathe its air, where is the man who is
6t!" This called up Senator Bayard.
He did not detract from Sheridan's mil
itary services and renown. He re-
,,oots1 4bot 4bo MON who bpliava1 tba
sentiments contained in Sheridan's dis
patches is unfit to breathe the air of a
Republic "If he be, the rest of us,
are not. because we could become his
serfs." He believed the power of the
law and the liberties of the people were
more precious than the most brilliant
military reputation.
Senator Logan replied to this with
warmth and bitterness. This repetition
of the denunciation of Sheridan led
him to say what he had thought but did
not intend to utter, and that is that
Bayard's denunciation is an invocation
to the White Leaugue to murder Sheri-
dan. If lie is not fit to breathe the air
of a Republic, he is not fit to live. The
Democrats of the Senate had denounced
Sheridan more during this debate than
they had done JEFF Davis during the
existence of the rebellion. Senator
Logan continued discussing the condi-
ton of affairs and disputing the claims
of the opposition that peace exists in
the South. He did not conclude his
speech to-day, and has the floor again
tomorrow.

against its action in the matter Of reso-
lutons Of censure in the alleged inter
ference Of the General Government in
Louisiana affairs. We base our obiec-
tons on the following considerations,
viz.
That the facts in the case, as ascertain
ed by the dispatches of Lieutenant Cen
eral Sheridan, and by the official message
of the President Of the United States to
the Senate, do not warrant any such res
oluton or condemnation.
That in our opinion the President OF
the United States, in his interference in
Louisiana affairs, was actuated wholly
by desire to promote the welfare Of
the citizens of that State, and to dis
charge the solemn obligations resting
upon him to enforce the requirements ot
the Federal Constitution, as is estab-
lished by his own words in said message,
| viz:
'I have no desire to have United
States troops interfere in the domestic
concerns of Louisiana or any Other
State. 1 have deplored the necessity
which seems to make it my duty under
the constitution and the laws to necessi
tate such interference. l have always
refused, except where it seemed TO be al
/ imperative duty to act in such manner
under the constitution and laws of the
! United States.
1 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 assurance, al
the same time, that whatever may be
done by that body will be executed tC
the spirit and letter of the laws without
fear or favor"
And we furthermore enter our earn
est protest against the manner in which
the majority of this body secured the
passage of their resolutions Of censure
by the suspension of the rules of legiti-
mnte business of the body, by demanding
the previous question, and using theii
numerical majority to silence discussion
restrain freedom of debate, and stife the
voice of the people of Ohio, in their own
Legislative hall, thus committing a fla.
grant outrage upon the rights of the mi
nority of the House, and Interfering
with the usefulness of representative go
vernment
| We therefore do selemnly protest in
this manner, and ask that this expression
of objection may be entered upon the
journal of this House
Signed by Thos. j. McLain, jr., and
forty-two other Republican members Of
the House of Representatives.

on the spot, and the flames were soon
under sobiection. The scene Of the
contiagration was a grocery store and
a milliner shop Just above the hotel,
and the loss was not very great, about
81, 900 probably,partly covered by insur-
ance.
Mr. Ford, the courteous proprietor Of
the Ball House, threw open his doors
for the reception of the goods Of the
young milliuer, who was absent from
town, and to his kindness she was saveC
from quite a deplorable loss. Aside
from this evidence of his generosity
Mr.. Ford and his genial son-in-law have
made the Ball House one of the pleas
ATTEST hotels in the country.

BG- When schurz made his speech
about the proceedings Of the Louisiana
Legislative, he said:
"A legal quorum answered TO their
names. While the result was being an
nounced, motion was made by mem
Der to appoint l.. A. Wilt temporary
Speaker. The motion was put and de
clared carried-not, however, by the
clerk"
The law having provided that the clerk
alone shall put such motion and declare
the result, the motion, Of course was put
unlawfully, and the mot, however, by
the clerk" as used by schurz was an
evasion Of the truth. However, all his
syeophaney did not secure him vote
from the Democratic members of the
Missouri Legislature, for Senator, and
he can now ''chew tine bitter eud Of dis
appointment"

Bar When the Fort Wayne Gazette

IA When the Fort Wayne Gazette
makes as good a point as the following,
it deserves general circulation.
The power of the Government has
again been invoked to quell rebellion,
instituted by the eonvicts of the Nebras-
kn penitentiary. The only difference be
tween this and the Louisiana case is the
fact that the Nebraska conspiritors are
actually in the penitentiary, while the
Louisiana conspirators although not in
prison, richly deserve to be.

Cleveland Leader was visiting in this
locality last week, and the following Is
what he reports from
FREMONT:
On Saturday morning 1 reached this
thriving town, OF six or seven thousand
population, and here 1 had one OF those
pleasant surprises so often experienced
I by those whose lives has been spent for
the most part in travelling. This was a
meeting with two gentlemen, old citi-
zens Of the Forest City, with whom !
had been pleasantly associated years
ago during my service upon the western
seas Mr.. David Jnne and Mr.. Brayton.
THE ENueRANT PROPELLER.
Thirty odd years ago / aided in fitting
out this vessel, owned by Messrs. Pease
| & Allen of Cleveland. She was the first
propeller that sailed to the upper lakes.
and her engines we're built at the Cuya-
hoga Works, under the supervision of
Mr.. Brayton, while David June, then
a young lad, was attached to the engine
/ department. Mr.. June, some ten OF
twelve years go, established a large
soundry and machine shop at Fremont,
and he associated with him Mr.. Brayton,
1.-THE former expert of the Cuyahoga
Works, now a venerable gentleman OF
seventy-five years of age, and mcchan-
ic of acknowledged ability and skill.
With these two old Cleveland associates
had some pleasant "reminiscences of
the olden time, and Of many acquaint.
ances who have long since laid them
down TO rest.

The threats made before the election,
to drive from the community all that

are forming, and recruiting by every

who voted the Radical ticket are to be
refused work or leases. All whites not
belonging to the combination are to be
ostracised. Already more thau 500 fam.

other crimes may result, and it is feared
that the bitter feeling naturally resulting
from q sense Of injustice received may
run into one of revenge. These home
