NEWSPAPER WoRK.-A contributor to one OF
our best periodicals has written as follows OF
the burdens Of journalists, and II Is all true:
1T Is one Of the hardships of our profession
that its working wheel-blain and heart-are
not allowed To lag for sickness, or 10 stop for
calamity or sorrow. The judge may adjourn
court the school and work shop may close shut
tcrs, the mourner may veil his features and
turn friend and stranger from the door; but the
journalist must forget before To morrow tie sor-
rows Of to-day, must write gaily aud freshly,
as anewsmonges on the trliies OF The hour,
whatever burdens have been laid upon that
same hour by Providence, or ON his brains as
man.

An Atrocious Outrage.

On Monday afternoon last another Of those
atrocious crimes against defcnseless women
and girls which have become so alarmingly
frequent, occurred in Baltimore comfy, near
the Relay House, on the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad The victim, Miss Ida Schaelfer, 10
years Of age, while returning from st. Dennis
school 10 her homo on Sulphur-Spring road,
about half-past four O'Clock, was met by a
young negro, twenty years old, named James
r. Hawkins lie seized and dragged her into
the woods adjoining the road. The poor girl
struggled desperately to free herself from the
ruilian's grasp, but to no purpose, as she was
prevented from screaming by being choked by
her brutal assailant When Hawkins had
dragged her to safe distance he deliberately
bound her to fallen trunk with stout strap
he had with him. The brutality Of his treat
ment TO effect his horrible purpose is sickening
to relate. Not content with choking The help
less girl to render her incapable Of resistance,
he almost blinded her by splitting tobacco juice
into riace After accomplishing bis pun pose
he fed. Special detective Mitchell, of the
Thirteenth district, was informed of the out
rage, and 10 connection with two other officers
went in pursuit OF the wretch, who they sue
ceeoed in capturing in short time. The news
of the outrage spread like widfre, and soon a
large crowd Of indignant people had gathered
determined upon lynching Hawkins, which
purpose the officers prevented their carrying
into effect only with the greatest difficulty -
Hawkins was taken before Thomas J Eng
justice Of the peace for the Thirteenth district,
who committed him into the hands Of detective
Mitchell TO be taken 10 Towsontown iail to
wait the action of the Baltimore county grand

of Ohio
JEFFERSON Ono, April 9-To MIR. U. H.
Painter, Washington, d. C.-My Dear Sir !:
Yonr letter of the 9th was duly received
You ask whether remember what said in
favor of President Hayes in my endeavor to
procure his nomination at the Cincinnati con-
yention7 do remember it, after what has
since TRANSFERRED, with indignation and Bit
lerness Of soul that never felt before. You
know with what untiring zeal lahored for
the emancipation Of the slaves Of the South
and to procure justice for them before and
during the time WAS in Congress, and sup
posed Gov Hayes was in full accord with me
on this sui ject But / have been deceived,
betrayed and even humilated by the course he
has taken to a degree that have not language
to express.
Daring The first month Of his adminstra-
ton we find him closecd with two Of tbs
worst and most malignant enemies Of the
celored race that can be found ia all that
slave cursed region, and there consulting with
hose indicators how best he can put these
colored people under the iron heel of their
most bitter enemies, and reduce them TO
condition infinitely worse than before they
were made free. feel that to have emanci-
Pated these people and then TO leave them un=
protected would be a crime as Infamous as to
have reduced them to slavery when they were
free. And for Hayes 10 do this to the men
who had at the hazard Of their lives given him
the votes without which be never could have
had the power TO do this terrible Injustice
No doubt he meditates the destruction of the
party that elected him A contemplation of all
this fills me with amazement aud iuexpressi-
BILE indignation. Ny only consolation is that
history informs me TINT better men than
ever pretended to be have in like manner been
deceived. Some dave attempted TO excuse him
by saying that he ''means WE'LL but hell is
paved with just such good intentions.

TIE SOUTH FREE. an LAST

We sincerely congratulate the people Of Lon
isiana upon their happy release from the bond
age which has ensaved them for ten long
years. In 1865, emerging from disastrous
and ruinons war, with Der industries shattered
by the desoation which swept n fury over
her borders, she bowed her neck TO the yoke of
military supremacy. Like the flight of vul-
lures to their dscaying prey, northern merce-
naries,. with no principles outside Of their
pocket-books, swooped down upon the chained
and helpless State TO rob her of the little rem
nant which even war was generous enough
TO leave her. No pangs of conscience trou-
pled their avaricious hearts az they plundered
the homes Of poverty. No deep distress Of
stricken and miserable humanity could arouse
sufficient sympathy to stay their rapine.--
Greed Of gold was the ruling passion Of their
actions and without pity or remorse they
gave full rein to tho qualification of their
desires. The Administration of the federal
government looked on and appauded It sent
lis troops to protect and sustain them in their
course OF wholesale plumber and the peoples
soldier marched with fixed bayonet around
the luxuriant abodes OF enriched thieves to
defend them from en-aged victims when he
should have been patroling the corridors Of a
penitentiary to deny their escape But the
hour has at last departed when federal support
will be guaranteed to official robbers The
FIAT Of the people has been sounded through
the trump OF the ballot-box and the Executive
OF the nation dares no longer to brave their
anger
Free and untrammeled Louisiana for the first
time rises from the ashes OF civil war and
shakes off the corpse which has been hanging
TO her, eating into her flesh and rotting her
vitals with decaying consumption. Once more
her people are free to WELD the hand of agri-
culture and draw forth from her soil The rich
products which lay embosomed there. Again
the sails of commerce will bear the snowy
cotton and golden fruits away, bringing back
the wealth they purchase.
Now that allThe States are clothed with
their constitutional rights and are ruled over
by Governors selected by their own people,
we trust that return to government according
10 the laws Of the land will be the result.

PARTY ORGANIZATION

The plan for conventions and primary meet
iugs lately adopted by orr party in this county
is attracting the attention OF Democrats in va
rious portions of the State, and the press in
several localities has spoken in commendation
of the new mode of nominating candidates for
the various Offices. Below will be found ex-
tracts from leading journals on the subject -
"A convention has just been held ia Mont
gomery county, by The Democracy for the
purpose Of arranging for the holding of nom
mating conventions for the coming campaign
The Democracy of Montgomery has been united
and presented n solid front in every election.
and last wear saved the Congressional district
to Mr.. Walsh by rolling mp 500 majority. We
must credit this unity to the harmonious action
Of the Democrats and their thorough disci-
pine and organization in that county Where
so mnch good results, il is hut proper that the
Democracy generally should trace it to the
fountain head, and If found in n liberal con-
sirnctlon of the rights of individual members
and in free, full aud impartial expression OF

an.
1.-THE political reform movement undertaken
in Montgomery county yesterday we consider
TO be one Of the healthest signs of the times.
II was spontaneous sltempt on the part of the
Democrats TO purify the primary election sTs-
tenn, which is all must admit, the most vul-
nerable part Of our whole election machinery,
the one most liable to abnse and the one most
corrupted by bad influences. The mere fact OF
the recognition Of the source Of the disease and
its correct diagnosis implies great step for
ward towards its cure. The ''plan" itself may
not be perfect-'plans" seldom are-but the
fundamental principles upon which rests, the
requirement ola majority of all vo,ers to nomi-
nate, and the recognition of the rights of mi
norites, are certainly correct. The district
feature however, should be eliminated. The
county, and not the districts, is what ought to
be represented in the Legislature. This is n
small matter, and We cordially welcome the
Democrats Of Montgomery county TO The grow
Ing army Of reform.-Bilte. Egenng Bulletin.

himself before the people of this county by

The new plan is not entirely due to Medley's

should be represented, and that the district lines
should not be InterIered WITH and that the
people should vote for all of the candidates.
These three items Medley's is willing to pro-
