their rights decided in the courts in con
sequence Of such decisions.
Mr.. Ingalls, said that aid had been
granted toprobably one hundred railroad
companies The laws which had hereto.
fore been construed in favor Of settlers
within the past two or three years had
been reversed and were now just the OBJ
poSite, and they had been the opposite
since Columbus Delano was Secretary oil
the Interior and Willis Drummond, Com.
missioner Of the General Land Office
There was no appeal from the decisions
of the late Secretary Of the Interior II the
cases complained Of were erroneous. He
desired to protect the settlers as much as
possible, and thought the bill should be
made more explicit.
Pending the discussion Mr.. Hamlin
moved that the Senate proceed 10 the con-
sideration Of executive business.
Mr.. Cameron presented a petition Of
citizens of Wisconsin asking an amend
ment to the Constitution OF the United
States for the abolition Of the Senate and
the transfer Of the powers Of that body to
the House Of Representatives. Referred
10 the Judiciary Committee.

High Times in the KanaWha.

And SO, at last, the cold.blOoded mur'
derers Of Lee nave met their fate. They
were taken out Of Jail last night, carried
of to the woods, and no doubt hung up
by their necks until they were very dead.
This fate they richly deserved, dcplOre as
we NAV the mob law by which it was
me,cd out to them. Crime has been ram
papt in the Kanawha region OF late, and
the PEOPLE have become desperate. Only
this day one week ago a most hideous
murder was committed in Cabell county,
by n man and woman. The man was
taken out Of Jail on Sunday night and
hung, but the woman was spared for her
sex sake. The fact that no man could be
found to put rope around her neck
shows that the mob was not wanting in
character and self.respect, and from all
We have read OF the mob that last night
revisited Charleston and avenged the
death Of Lee, il was OF the same character.
From these two uprislngs we may as
well take solemn warning. That warn
ing is that when the law Of heland ceases
to adequately protect life, the law OF self.
protection, the first law of nature, is al
most sure to be invoked. 1t is because
the Courts, through the subteriuges OF in.
genious lawyers, do not protect society
that large numbers Of people, otherwise
law.abiding, are moved to take the law
into their own hands.
Truly. We have fallen upon deplorable
times when this is the case.

ly comment on the ridiculous and sacri-
legious declaration OF Williams, the
Cubell county, W. Va, murderer, who
was hung down there Saturday night last
by mob, and who, after numbering the
man he had wronged, and after lying
about 1t to the preacher until the rope
began to draw around mis- neck, at last
caved, became converted, and announced
that he had "happily started on his way
to heaven" This is the way the worst
class Of criminals who are hung these
days have of expressing themselves.
They try to save their worthless lives up
to the last by lying, and then try at the
final moment to save their worthless
souls by profession of religion.
