a Brutal Outrage,

BALTIMORE, June - On Saturday,
near Odenton, Il negro outraged Miss
jackson young lady of eighteen, most
respectfully connected and greatly beloved
in the neighborhood. Her parents were
absent when she went to the spring n
short distance from the house for water,
and while returning was met by Il negro
who seized her by the throat and dragged
her to the bushes, holding loaded gun
in his hand and threatening to kill her
if she resisted. Her clothing was torn
in shrcds and her face and neck terribly
cut and bruised The negro was captur-
ed this morning in Il swamp and con-
tcssed the crime. Several attempts were
made to lynch him, but his captors got
him on the train for Annapolis.

PorTsvILLE, June 27.-The majority
of the collicres in the Mahoning region
resumed work this morning. Much un-
casiness prevails ut Shamokin, owing TO
the withdrawal of the troops. The citi-
lcns have a petition in circulation pray
ing that the troops be returned. Not
withstanding the prevailing quiet and
peace in the region, many business men
are -f the opinion that an attempt will

tween Mt. Carmel and Shamollin, where
the men show disposition to work.

AnImportant Fact for Bcechcr.

The counsel for plaintiff denied the
advantages from what he expected 10
prove out of the interviews with Tracy
OF Beccher's completely in the policy OF
silence, and Tracy's suggestion Of lying.
Tracy did no. represent Bcccher and
might have been brcugh, rs witness
against Tilton and Mou.ton, bat the
counsel do not desire to give testimony
in causes in which they are engaged, but
the plaintiff produced evidence Of these
conferences and that led to the release of
of Tracy from anv constraint OF feeling
from coming into court with hI-
proof. and on the evidence, ac-
cording the plaintiff, the question at these
conferences WAS what publication should
be made denying the scandal AMI then
the testimony showed that Tracy insist
ed that there should be publication
branding it as falsehood. They assured
him that that would be Il sort o. lying
unless the whole matter Wa, published,
and Tracy argued with them, II the false
charge was made, the other party was at
liberty to deny the SANDER without dis
closing all his private complaints, but II
that was lying he would take the respo!-
siblity. An important fact was that
Moulton got permission from Beeaher to
tell Tracy the truth, and they did tell
him the truth, and now they must either
say they were telling Tracy a series Of
lie. about the facts, or they must stand

4 -ai.OOO.OOO LEAK.

From the Reading Eagle.
The Republicans in Congress, many
Of whom have relatives holding sine
cure positions in the regular army, arc
not only bitterly opposed to the pro-
posed reduction of the army, but they
actually wish to increase the number
of paymasters, when there are already
one paymaster and clerk for every
500 men. The army now numbers 40
regiments, besides battalion of en-
gineers and the ordnance corps, the
whole costing about $40, 900, 900 annu-
ally. Not more then half the force is
in actual service-the cities arc full of
officers on "fancy duty" or no duty at
all, such men as Babcock, major OF
engineers-and more than half of the
privates in many of the companies are
employed, contrary to regulation, as
officers servants, mechanics and Ia
borers, on extra pay, in this manner
throwing SO much military duty upon
the real soldiers that they desert by
dozens. There are ten times as many
officers as are needed, all drawing high
salaries, and if all the enlisted men
we're on actual military duty, 10, 600 or
Is, 600 of them would be as effective as
the 26, 600 now are, and the taxpayers
would save at least $25, 600, eco year.
1t is to. be hoped that the Democratic
House Of Representative will apply
the pruning knife vigorously to that
very extensive nursery OF iale aristoc-
racy. the staff department, and also
cut down the numI'er Of generals,
while it is a question worthy of con.
sideration whether the entire army
could not be disbanded without detri
ment to the interests o. the country al
large.
