A Case of Brutality.

Clark County, Ill.,, is lca,d in deunci-
;ztions of a great crime committed
within its borders, particulars of
which are given in a special to the
Chicago papers. A man named John
Cottrell, some time last fall married a
widow Melrose. who had two children,
both boys, aged and 10 respectively.
Ever since the marriage the stepfather
has behaved toward the children in
the most brutal manner; frequently
driving them away from home in the
dead Of night, when they usually took
refuge with some the neighbors, and
compelling them to go without shoes
Oh their feet. and really without cloth
ing upon their backs. A few nights
ago he got one Of his freaks on and
drove them out. They were almost
without clothing, and started for their
uncle's, i'll Crawford county, When
ten miles below their home, in Clark
county, the younger Of the two boys
gave out. His brother succeeded in
getting him upon a piece of ground
free from ice and SNOW; and, leaving
him, went on to the house of a gentle
man by the name of James Hand,
where he was taken in. His STEP
father had been in the habit of beat
ing him and his brother whenever
they told anything of his mistreat-
ment, and it was some time before he
would consent to tell Of his own and
his brothers sufferings. About this
time Mr.. Sackrider came up having
found the younger brother dead where
the elder had left him. An inquest was
held, and the jury returned verdict
that the child came to his death
through the brutal treatment of his
stepfather. With difficulty the COM
munity were restrained from lynching
the stepfather, who is under arrest.

The National Campaign.

The Pennsylvania Republican con.

ult., and platform adopted of resolutions ar
raigning the Democratic party for subservi-
ency shown to leaders of the late confetleracy.
and charging the southern Democracy with
conspiracy to coerce voters. The platform
says the remedy for the present depression of
our industries is in higher tariff, and pre-
sents the name of Gov. Hartranft to the con-
sideration of the national convention for nom-
inatien to the Presidency. The delegates
were instructed to give Gov. H. their constant
and united support
The Ohio Republican convention was
largely attended. Gen. Lee, of Toledo, made
a speech in which he warmly urged united
action to secure the nomination of Gov. Hayes
for President. NJ. NJ Barnes was nominated
for secretary of state, and w. w. Boynton
for supreme Judge. A platform was adopted
renewing the pledge to the Republican party
and favoring retrenchment and reform: also
declaring gold the true standard Of value, and
advocating such continuance Of that policy of
finance as shall equalize the value of coin an,l
paper money as can be done without injury
to business or trade. The platform expresses
full confidence in the honesty and ability of
Gov. Rutherford B Hayes, and presents his
name to the national convention for the nomi-
nation for President
The Republicans Of Vermont met at
Burlington and selected delegates to the ma
tional convention. The platform adopted re-
hearses the usual form of allegiance to party,
supports the laws opposesa division of school
money, favors a return to specie payments
and opposes any step backward, repeats the
declaration "let no guilty man escape" and
demands that the national candidates of the
party be men of tried integitry who will carry
out the policy of reform and preserve invio-
late the great results of the war

Clymer Finds Something that Turns Ont to
70 81 be Nothing.

Astounding developments were made
before the Clymer Investigating COM
mlttee, on the Both ult. A detective
named C. L. Bell, special agent of the
interior department, testified that he
was instructed by Mr.. Luckey, present
secretary of the President, to 20 to St.
LOUIS and spy out the evidence in the
prosecuting attorneys hands against
! ueh. baDcock. He said he obtained
Ine evidence desired in the month of
November and communicated it to
tuckey. He obtained it tsurreptitiously.
from what he learned he said he be-
heved the attempt to implicate Bah.
cock IN the frauds was for the purpose
OF lnJurlng the President, for whom he
mad served as scout during the war,
and for whom he had a strong regard.
| After investigating the evidence Bell
said he believed Babcock was guilty..
and he so informed the President. He
dld so because the President told him
That II Babcock was guilty he wished
to know 1t. He wanted nothing con-
cealed, but if guilty wanted him pun
lshed. But it seems that Luckey and
Babcock connived to induce him, Bell.
to abstract the documentary evidence
from the prosecuting attorneys office
and deliver it to them that they might
destroy it. The witness returned to
Washington, and under the renewed
belief that it was Il political move he
permitted propositions to be made bv
Babcock and his attorney, Storrs, to
abstract the evidence-all of it. as a
part, Babcock said, would be worse
than none. He again changed his opin-
ION regarding the cause OF the prose-
cutlon. and went to the President, who
gave him a card to the attorney gen.
eral, asking for an appointment that
would enable him to get at the bottom
facts. In giving him the card the
President told him to ascertain if there
were reasonable grounds for believing
Babcock guilty, and he was to report
to the attorney general. He said that
as long as hethought R;,bcock innocent
he wished to help him, but as soon as
he believed him guilty he s:threw up
the SPONGE He went to the White
House on several occasions to communi-
cate the facts to the President but was
unable to see him. and he had them
published in the New York Herald and
sent a marked copy to him. He was
soon after discharged from the service.
MIR. Bell also testified that when nego-
tiations were in progress for :sbstracting
the evidence from COL Dyer's office he
was induced to believe, from Babcock' s
I and Luckey's assertions that the whole
affair was an effort of Bristow to in
jure the President.
Gen. Belknap, Mr.. Luckey and Mr..
A. G. Bradley pronounce the statement
OF detective Bell as being a tissue of
t:1sehoods from beginning to end.
They denounce Bell as utterly unworthy
ct belief. and say they have been
aware for sometime that Bell has been
trying to dispose of this same story to
any one who would become a pur-
kehaser.

statement before the Emma Mine committee

no obstacle to his return.
The Supreme Court of the United
States has rendered two very important de-
cisions; one declaring the "Force bill" to
prevent frauds in elections in the South, to be
unconstitutional because it's provisions extend
outside the limits authorized by the 18th
| amendment. The other is affirming the de-
| cision of the lower courts discharging the
Grant county Ku Klux, because Congress has
not provided appropriate legislation for the
punishment of otfenses charged in the indict-
ment. esessssazsss1a.,r@s ioa@aS'as'ass "s'sa*aa
