Deliberate Rape of n Little Girl At
Urbana. Ohio.

URBANA, Ono. Jan 17.-Last
Tuesday at noon a 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 a 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 Marvsville.

fessed the deed and in every par.
ticular 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 a
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. bat the Sheriff. whose
courage is of the cool and determ-

carried its plans into execution.

They performed their work In just
twelve minutes. The Coroner cut
him down. an inquest was held, a

lamation of the 10Th of September,
1874, was issued. This served to re-
instate Governor kellogg to his posi-
ton nominally, but il 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 cowmanders, 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
instructions. l repeat. that task as
samed by the troops is not a pleasant
one to them. The army is not COM
posed of lawyers, capable of judging
at a 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 we're bound to
act upon the Judgment of their com
handing officers upon such sudden
contingencies as arise with out 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.

Kellogg Government | reported the
fact, with the grounds of the reeogni-
ton, to Congress, aud asked that body

has been taken by that body, and |
have maintained the position marked
out. If error has been committed by
the army in these matters 1t has al
ways been on the side of the preser-
walton of good order, the maintenance
of law, and the protection of lite, and
reflects credit upon the soldiers. and
if wrong has resulted the blame il
with the turbulent clements surround
ing them.
/ now earnestly ask that such action
be taken by Congress as to leave my

The recent speech of Senator
Morton on the Louisiana question,
in reply to that of Schurz, though
evidently impromptu- was IN nus
best and strongest styl e- Alter CIV
ing an admirably condensed review
of Louisiana politics during the iaat
eight or nine years, he passed TO
consider the terrorism. ostrseism,
and intolerance praehced by the
Democrats toward all Republicans,
white and black. He showed con-
clusively that it is the fixed purpose
of the White Leaguers toroot ont
the Republican party IN the State
and to practically e1tinguish 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 sympatlizers:
"Why. Mr.. President, has not a
Northern man the right TO go to
Louisiana AMI hold Office if the peo-
pie choose 10 elect hims Is that =
crimet Do they not go from the
East to the Western States and
become candidates for Office. and
become Governors and members
of Congress- Any man can so to the
State of Indiana, and If his talents
and his character viii induce the
people of that State to elect hmm
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 vet the fact that
Northern men hold Office IN the
South is put forward as crime;
they are denounced as adventurers
and carpet -baggers. Many of these
men have remained there with their
lives in their hands, submitted to
every species of eontumely and dis
grace, driven from society, driven
from business, open compacts ana
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 rs an
intruder because he went there
from Indiana or some other North
ern State. Thank God, Louisiana is
part of nay 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 q majority OF
the voters in any county or coun-
ties, to be elected to Office, it is
their right.
s.Mr. President, all that we ask
on behalf of the South. and of ev-
cry other State, is far play, secur-
ity for life, security for liberty, the
enjoyment of equal rights We
ask that, and we will be content
with nothing else. We shall not
! be put off by these howhngs
against carpet baggers. Blood ls
thicker than water, and protection
to the lives of men is the highest
political consideration for govern
ment. The highest duty OF Gov
eminent, in this on 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 tunc
| tons. Journal

Another Report from GEN. Sheridan.
NEW ORLEANS, Jan Is.

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. Is.
TO the Hon. w. w. Belknap, Sec. o: War.
A report has just been received
form Major Merrill, at Shreveport,
which is too long for telegraphie
transmission, but will be sent by
mail The following epitome is
almost in Major Merrills 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
viii gradually drift together, and
the white people are not slow, as
the past has shown, to set afoat
infiammatory 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

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 ont OF the
affair, they have exhibited good
deal more zeal than sense. And
whether the politicians see 1t or
not, the great mass of honest PEG
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 a set OF
desperate revolutionists may 10y
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 sister st ttes' When
honest men call to mind the terrible
scenes OF blood enacted in New
Orleans in 1865 at the meeting of
the Constitutional Convention, the
overthrow of the State authorities
in last September and tire lawless
violence by which the ulau, Witt,
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
