ANOTHER BRUTAL BUTCHERY.
MURDERERs LyNCHED.
[From the Charleston, w. Va, Journal,
Jan. Goth.

FROM the charleston, w. Va, Journal,
Jan. Goth.
About half-past five O'Clock yes
terday afternoon, Thomas Hines, q
journeyman tailor, who formerly
worked for Herbert d Co., but who
has been loafing for some time
past, started from the corner of Sum-
mers and Kanawha streets down the
latter, exclaiming as he went that he
was 'going down and kill that d--d
son-of abb of a Bill Dooley." He
was drunk, and no one paid any at
tention to his threat. He went di-
rectly to Dooley's shoe-shop on AL
derson street, and walked in; Dooley
asked him what he wanted? He re-
piled that he wanted him, Dooley, to
sew up ripped place in his boot; at
the same time reaching his foot out.
Dooley on attempting to arise from
his bench was struck with knife in
the hands of Hines taking effect un-
der the right ear and extending
around to the collar bone on the other
side of his body, inflicting a cash
about eight inches long and probably
three or four inches deep. The blood
gushed out in tremendous stream,
and Dooley exclaimed to Richard
Parker, who was sitting by: "Dick,
my throat is cut" and at the same
time grabbed boot tree and struck
Hines over the head with it. Hines
fell, and Dooley kept repeating the
blows while the blood from hisown
wound was pouring out upon the
body of Hines. Parties seeing the
difficulty, rushed in and saved the life
of Hines by takingthe boot tree from
the hands of Dooley.
Drs. Mayer, Comstock and Hamil-
ton were called in and pronounced
the wound fatal, and declined to ap-
ply any remedies, but remained with
him until he died, which was within
twenty minutes.
John William Dooley was a peace
able, inoffensive colored citizen; has
resided in Charleston for a number
of years; was man who always at
tended to his own business, and was
a first-class mechanic. We have
known him well for ten years at least,
and never heard of his being in any
difficulty before.
The trouble lies in this: Hines has
been too intimate with Dooley's wife.
and Dooley has, on several occasions,
ordered him away from his house,
but the parties never came to blows
before the occasion that resulted in
Dooley's death. Hines is a drunken
tramp, who maintains no rank in so
ciety, and who has, more times than
one been found in places where he
should not have been, and where, had
justice been done him, he would have
been placed where knives are not
handled and where the wicked cease
from perpetrating wicked deeds
against their fellow man.
Hines was arrested by officer Stain
aker, and lodged in Jail.

The following resolutions were
unanimously adopted by the Farmers
and Mechanics Club of Addison, O.,
at their regular meeting Jan. 18th,
1876:
WHEREAS; The citizens of this vi
cinity feel sorely aggrieved over the
proceedings of our County Commis-
sioners at their regular meeting in
Dec, 1875, concerning the proposed
alteration in the State road between
Gallipolis, Ohio, and Point Pleasant,
W. Va.
The said proposed alteration was
one of great Importance to the peo-
pie in the northern part of this coun-
ty, as we'll as the travelling public, and
was asked a1d prayed for by large
majority of the citizens of this vicin-
ity, and it ought to have been estab-
lished, as the present road is upon
the edge of the river bank for dis
tance of four or five hundred yards
with scarcely room for one track in
places, and upon the edge of per-
pendicular bank twenty feet high,
which makes it unsafe for people to
travel.
WHEREAS; Something must be done,
and the sooner the better, as the coun-
ty is liable for all damages that may
occur, it would have been economy
for the county if our Commission
ers had not allowed private and selfish
interests to override the just demands
of the people, and had established
the proposed alteration as viewed and
surveyed, off of the river bank, and
had faithfully performed their duties
as public servants.
We earnestly protest against using
the peoples money in buying river
bank for road, simply to crafty
private and selfish interests of q few
individuals, the same being detri-
mental to the interests of the public
at large.
We sincerely condemn and censure
such deeds and actions; and earnest
ly recommend that our public officers
or servants carefully consider and
weigh the demands and interests of
the public before they act, and there
by avoid such gross errors as the one
alluded to above.
Public officers or servants once so
grossly betraying the confidence of
the people, and paying SO little re-
gard to the just demands of the pub
lie. should be carefully recollected in
the future by the voters.
We earnestly protest against spend
ing the peoples money in cutting
down hills IN some obscure corner of
this county for the benefit of an ad-
joining county.
Resolred, That the county papers
be requested TO publish the foregoing

VintOu Stuffiu'.

Creek has been S'out on a tear"
Breadstuffs at a low ebb in conse-
quence.
Teamsters report the Vinton and
Gallipolis mud pike in execrable con-
dition. Gallia is one of the few
counties in the State enjoying the un-
enviable reputation of not having
single mile of macadamized road.
The creek has made such extens-
i've encroachments upon the road in
fronto of Col. Carter's property, that
it is becoming dangerous to the un-
wary. Too much benzine, helped by
the narrowness of the way, may,
some dark night precipitate a catas-
trophe. A small sum expended, now,
by the Commissioners, will certainly
save the county many dollars in the
future.
On Thursday last, Judge Drake
and jury of twelve, wrestled with
veXed question. between a Wilkes
vile harness maker and a Huntington
farmer. 1t was drawn game.
Vinton has peculiar charms for the
Wilkesville gullet. And, by present
indications Judging, Wilkesville
maidens have a subtle influence over
the Vintonian heart.

While Vinton has thus become the
home of deviltry, and Satan roams

work of regeneration goes bravcly on

Extensive revivals are in progress at

Let the good work go on, and let it

GUYAN TP., GALLIA COUNTY, o.
Mr.. EDIToR:-By your permis-
sion, we would like to reply to a com
munication we noticed in the CALI
polls Bulletin, January 18th, headed
Ohio Township, and signed "Paul
Pry." 1t seems there had been a
communication in the JOURNAL some
weeks since at which paul had a,
pick in particular. He first COM
menced about the roads being next
to impossible, when Regulator" had
said they were in good condition
for travelling. We say yet the roads
at that time were in a good condition
for man to travel, being used to
rough roads. But from his writing,
we judge him to have been used to
none other than turnpikes, plank
roads, etc. Paul next proceeds to
tell us how he was led into saying
there were three dozen Lodges of
Regulators in Ohio Township, by ia
king each gathering as a Lodge.
Now, PAUL. tell us something next
time that you are better acquainted
with, as we have no such gatherings
as you have represented. He then
takes the word 'Desperado," which
Regulator" had used, and giving
Webster's definition, thinking he had
sold him on that. We admit despera-
does mean desperate men, and that
is the sense in which we used it as
the family referred to consisted of
desperate men and women, and they
were not all away at the time spoken
of. 1t seems that the old man is
grieving considerably over the alb
sence of the family. Now, 'Paul,"
we have in days past, believed you to
be straightforward and upright
man; but we are afraid we will have
to change our opinion, seeing you adj
here to that which is wrong, and set
aside that which is right. AS for
G-g, we can't hold light to you,
for you have about forty years the
knock under on the ne sd6JEgdjtt NA JEjt Of 1heye Ee
You ask us to tell you how things |
went off the other night on the
south side of the Trace. AS you
seem to be better acquainted on the
south side of the Trace, we will
leave the question for you to answer.
Now, Friend "Paul," we must
thank you for your good advice, as
we expect to advocate and uphold
that which is right and honorable,
rs that is the principle which our
Order is based upon; but before we
part, we have one request to make:
We hope that You will not talk so the
next time, as it might hurt our feel
ngs. l still remain
Yours truly,
A REGULATOR.

are getting no better fast.

Mr.. Elijah Darst died at his home
in this township, on the 21st, aged
81 years. His disease was chronic

Mr.. Peter Swisher is still in feeble

rels of potatoes to New Orleans last
Friday. Potatoes are plenty here, al
most every farmer has several hun
dred bushels on hand yet.
Thieves have been showing their
handiwork. One night last week Mr..
James Eblin's hen-roost was robbed
of about twenty Brahmas, and a GER
tain meat house of some meat, one
piece of which was found in field
Tin the direction of Vinton). The
chap undoubtedly had more than he
could "tote."
An important (?) jury trial before
Squire Jenkins tomorrow Tues
day.. "That good old man, Samuel
Mills" is the defendant. He has
only eighteen witnesses.
The new Sheriff, Mr.. Stuart, has
been here, on business, several times.
We find him to be a very clever gen.
tleman.
We'll be as bad as Cheshire soon,"
says your Vinton correspondent.
Well, we always give a stranger the
benefit of the doubts; therefore, we
will take it for granted that he did
not wish to misrepresent, and make
the readers of the JOURNAL believe
that Cheshire is worse than Vinton.
We presame he meant that Cheshire |
is bad, and Vinton worse, and that
they are endeavoring to reform, in
order to elevate themselves and get
on level with us. If this be true,
we will send few missionaries out.
but we will state, for their benefit,
that Cheshire is not bad, and that
they will have to lose more lawyers
and gain more preachers if they ever
Inhale any of the moral atmosphere,
such as surrounds Cheshire.
John N. Rothgeb and Miss Alice
Wilson went to Gallipolis, last

John and his wife returned the same
evening on the Salt Valley. Wehope
heir journey through life will be
more pleasant than it was from the
Salt Valley home. John robbed
Cheshire of one of her best young
aides.
The way some of our young men
ook this Monday morning, one
would be led to suppose that they
