operation few weeks ago. and when
IL was known that he was a victim Of

ton Of time. He wa. born in 1925 in
Chester county. Pa. At the age OF II
he went into printing Office. In his
twentieth year he made a tour OF

man probably ever did. The put IL
cation OF his Views Aioot "or Europe

brought him into notice and also

He has written some very fine poems.
and as traveller and author ranked
among the first OF his time. He
was thoroughly coAversant with

Southern Senators, during the de-
bate on Blaine's resolution, declared
that witnesses were as free from
danger in South Carolina and Louisi-
ana as i'm Maine, yet two colored wit
nesses were assassinated near Shreve-
port, La, a few days ago, while on
their way to New Orleans to testify
before the grand jury as to the clec-
ton frauds; and the District Attor-
ney has information which leads him
TO believe that the entire Red River
country is almost in a state Of rebel
lion, and that no witness will be al
lowed to live who will testify as to
the frauds committed in that section
at the recent election. Whether Pres
ident Hayes has the courage to do
anything to vindicate the rights OF
citizens or not, we cannot tell; but
justice will not always sleep. and the
