An Innocent Man l.ynched.

A few days ago the Times published a
brief Geographic dispatch from Dodge
City, Kan, announcing that band OF
gigtidntes had hung two men near Fort
Dodge for stealing horses, in Sumner
County, Kan. Subsequent. inquiries, made
by the grict-stricken father of one of the
men hung-a young man named Gala
han, son of a preacher in Topeka-proved
beyond doubt that Callahan was guiltlcss
of any connection with the crime He
was engaged in gathering buffalo bones
ON the plains, and had been hauling some
from his "dug-out' TO the railroad, when
one OF the horse. thieves came to his place
He gave him shelter While he was there
the ufgtiantes from Sumner County came
in and arrested both parties, and notwtb-
standing Calahan's protestations and his
endeavor to show that he lived there and
had not been to Sumner County, took him
with the guilty man and hung him then
and there. The Rev Mr.. Callahan states
that his murdered son was in no way i'm
plicated in this crime; that he had re-
ceived moral and religious education,
and from letters he was constantly in the
habit OF receiving from him he feels sure
that he was innocent Of crime, and that
his boy was murdered. This is a sad re-
Election for Sewellyn and his party of
lynchers. 1t recalls the too-sudden con
clusion arrived at by some half-drunken
oigtlonters at Ellsworth, Kan, who hung
poor George c., whose aged parents,
now residing in this city, 10 this day
mourn his murder. George c. was rs
innocent Of the crime imputed to him as
babe unborn, but still he was sacrificed
to the mob spirit Here is another case
equally as atrocious. How long shall this
terrible custom be tolerated ?--Kaasds

through all these years. She has regular
ly visited him, and, for the past few
years, has made constant efforts to pro-
cure his release; but the Executive has
turned deaf ear to her entreaties, until, a
short time ago, she appealed to Gov
Kirkwood with such devoted zeal that he
granted her request, and, with the pardon
In her possession, she FASTENED 10 The Pen

The Presidents reply to Mr.. Black.
burns resolution Of inquiry was a keen
| and welldeserved rcbuke to piece OF
| partisan impertinence. Mr.. Blackburn
did not allude to the President bv name
but no one could misunderstood the drift
! of his question. He did not explain his
purpose in offering the resolution; but
there was nothing to be gained by it ex-
cept little cheap and vulgar partisan sen
sation 1t is indecent to use official cor
respondence between the Legislative and
Executive branches of the Government for
any such petty ends, and when member
OF Congress attempts TO do it he not only
dlsgraceS himSelf-which is a compare.
lively unimpOrtant matter, even when it
is not supertluOus-bu he brings the
country into disrepue. We think there.
fore that the indignant answer of the
President was entirely appropriate. Per-
haps it was not strictly in accordance with
official etiquette for Gen. Grant to read be
tween the lines of the inquiry, and give it
an application to himself which was not
expressed in the text; but we cannot re.
greet that he allowed himself little liberty
under such aggravating circumstances
and took the opportunity to rebuke with
stern dignity political assembly which
is very much in need of castgation. We
hope the House OF Representatives en-
joyed it.
The incident has served good purpose
also in bringing out a brief, spirited, and
satisfactory answer from the President to
the gable in which some blackguar
newspapers have INDUCED in for several
years with respect to his summer holidays
at Long Branch. 1t was out of the ques-
ton to notice these criticisms if they are
to be dignified by such term) until they
came from quasi-respectable source AS
soon as they were taken up in Congress
Gen. Grant answered and we think put an
end to them. Frequent and prolonged
absence from the capital may be an abuse !;

Government is mere absurdity.-N. Y.
