Horrible Outrages Observation-Disclosures
of the Northern Democrats.

NEW YORK, Nov. 29.-The Times prints the
following from New Orleans Nov. 2S:-'A
startling scene occurred before the returning
board today. Four witnesses were examined.
Republican principles Two were brought to
the city on cots. Their names are Ben James
Eaton Longwood, ii. w. Burrel and E liza
Pinkston. During the latter's pitlfui recital of
her wrongs, her husband emasculated and
then killed before her eyes, of her babe whose
throat was cut in her arms, of her own gashed
breast and limbs, and finally the outrage of her
person BY two white Democrats Ex-Governor
John M. Palmer of Illinois leaped
from his chair, and said, in wrath, If this
poor woman should be hanged; but if, as 1
firmly believe, 1t is true, the wretches who can
perpetrate such atrocities should be executed
without mercy. 1 will spend ten thousand
dollars to ferret out this case. 1t looks true.
This poor woman has certainly been cruelty
wronged The question is broader now than
President making. 1t is one of humanity. If
she has told the truth Gen. Sheridan should
come back at once and hold with grip of
iron people who can zee such infamy without
remonstrance, even in their public prints
Governor Palmer was greatly excited while
making these remarks, and astounded the
Louisiana Democrats, who tried in vain to paci-
fy him.
hibited much excitement, and turning upon the
local Democrats said, You have deceived u.s.
Subsequently Lyman Trumbull, who was alb
sent from the room during the woman's recital
fatty concurred with Gov. Palmer.
The demoraliza alton of the Democrats here is
complete, OF only because of the facts disclos-
ed, but because of the names of lea1ng Demo-
Gratis who are exposed in detail as murderers
and ravishers. Other witnesses, men and wo-
men, who have cruelty suffered, are yet to take
the stand.
Tonight the chief of police was compelled to
station force around the domicile within
which Mrs. Pinkston lies PROSTATE on bed. A
turbulent Democratic crowd is assembled, and
they are loud with menaces.
AT last it is evident that even Northern
Democrats cannot return home and sneer down
Democratic outrages as myths The testimony
which Hon. John Sherman, Gen. Garfield,

THE EASTERN QUESTION.

ST. PETERSBURG NoY 90 The following
semi-official statement is published: The
Marquis of Salisbury's conversations with
Count Andrassy and Prince Bismarck will
probably have convinced him that the intimate
relations between the three imperial courts re.
main unchanged and that Russia has been
hitherto restrained from taking extreme meas
ures by the consideration which is due to the
Emperors of Germany and Austria. Russia
will, at the conference, through her represen-
tative, declare that autonomy for the provinces
must be guaranteed and that occupation ap
pears to be the best means of rendering such
guarantee efficacious. Should the other DOW
ers be unwilling to participate in the occupa-
ton Russia will undertake occupation single
handed. The foregoing forms the general basis
of the Russian demands.
