Mrs. CHISHOLM, the widow of the man
and the mother of the children who were so
brutally murdered by the chivalrous Sons Of
Mississippi, in Kcmpcr county, has written
letter in which she gives n pathetic and
hcartrending account Of the terrible affair.
The more one read of that assassination
the higher rises the spirit of Indignation.
The murdcrcrs pursued, shot down and
manglcd the little band, male and female,
~ if each victim was wild beast
1t WAS mob against family. Mrs. CHS
HOLM declares that her husband was killed
because he was Union Republican. Tho
Democratic pcpcrs insist that it was the re-
suit of mere ieud between neighbors. That
will do for political effect, but the country
will not be satisfied until after there shall
have been thorough investigation and the
responsibility shall have been fixed where
il properly belongs

GENERAL GRANT IN ENGLAND.

Whatever may have been the opinion of
a portion of the people of the United States
oil General GRANT while he was President
OF the United States, the people of Great
Britain regard him rs O great man and re-
ceive him as the hero of the hour, and his
arrival on their shores has been made by
them an event of international importance.
During his brief stay in Liverpool he had n
perfect round of festivities and he has been
received Mt Manchester with 10 less enthu-
siasm and distinguished consideration. The
telegraph now announces a programme
which includes receptions by her Majesty
the Queen, his Royal Higness the Prince of
Wales, and by the most prominent of the
British officials upon his arrival in London
While these hOnOrs to the ex-President
will be gratefully appreciated by the imme-
diate recipient, the whole body of the
American people will not fail to regard them
Us u compliment to the nation of which he
is the unofficial representative. His services
to his country in the tented field, and later
in the Presidential chair, gave him Il world
wide name and fame. But the fame was
not his alone. In carving niche for him
self he hOnOred his native land and her free
institutions, and 50 now every honor paid
to GRANT abroad is an honor conferred upon
this whole country.

TiMlflNY RULE ~ THE DISTRICT.

NJ faN INN bi'
The more We consider the action of the
District Commissioners, in their awards of
the recent paving contracts, the more i'm
pressed we become with the cnormity of
the outrigc-we eau think Of no mildcr ex-
preston by which to characterize the deed
they have perpctntcd upon the taxpayers
of Washington. And We venture the asscr-
ton, and speak advisedly when we declare
that even in the palmiest days of that band
of public plunderers, known as the Tam
many Ring, do we find such barcfaced
and shameless swindlc recorded among the
imposing array of their countless r,is-
calitics. TWEED, with all his effrontcry
and unscrupulousncss never dared to rob
the taxpayers of New York in such das-
tardly manner. We hope that our public
spirited citizens will not permit themselves
to be skinned out uf $4,000 by gang of
without a fight in the courts,
Enough has already been developed to faint
the whole proceeding with fraud, and upon
a proper presentation of the facts We are
sure that no judge would refuse to issue an
order prohibiting further work upon the
awards until full judicial investigation OF
all the facts could be had

THE Democracy of Ohio have the op-
portunity Of making brilliant stroke
by selecting Hon. George Hoadly as
their candidate for Governor next fall.
A man of eminent ability and the high
est standing at home, he has just added
to his reputation as lawyer and states
man that which would give his nomina-
lion a national interest and awaken an
enthusiasm all over the State that could
be aroused by no other name. Ohio is
now one of the very closest States in
the Union, and will be carried at the
next election by the party that is most
fortunate in selecting the head of its
ticket. No one of the men who are now
laying ropes for the nomination could
hope for success against a passably far
nominee on the. other side. Convince
Judge Hoadly that he ought to make the
race, and nominate him by acclamation,
and it will be safe to count Hamilton
County for him by at least five thousand
majority, and the State by fully twenty
thousand.

| But the coal mines do not monopblize
these child victims, by any means. We
will find them by scores trooping out OF
our large factories at close OF day, with
stopped bodies and aged faces, and
hands worn hard with toll.
The British Parliament has at last
awakened to a sense of the oppression
of this class, which is too feeble to raise
a voice in its own behalf. An act was
recently passed which prohibits the pro-
prietors Of factories from employing
children under nine years of age, the act
having gone into effect on the 1st of j an
uary just passed. 1t furthermore makes
it incumbent on all children to attend
school half of every day, or all of each
alternate day, during the term.
1t would not, perhaps, be amiss for our
own lawmakers to turn their attention
awhile from the Protection Of Fish and
Game, or the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals, and consider the mute appeals
of these little sufferers OF their own
kind. ...-..-...

schools and an abundance of them, il
those children of poverty who have
greatest need of them can not profit
thereby.
