nesday night laet, in tho Methodist Episcopal
Church. at Letters Ford, Indiana, is regarded
by many people in that State rs direct
intcrposi,ion of Divine Providence for tho

five years OF ngc, and Robert King had been
disturbing tho meetings by making sport OF
.nosc who led tho services. On Wednesday
night about seventy-five persons were present.
During tho exercise Bidingor and King began
to crentc disturbance. Mr.. Jones' tho min,
stor, went to expostulatc with them, laid his
hand upon Bidinger's shoulder and urged him
to change his way of life. Bidingcr repliod
with an oath that he would mover change his
ways. a. few moments aftorward, while
Michael Shade, mombor Of the congroca.
ton, was leading in prayer, tightening
ilashod into tho church, extinguished all the
lights, killed Bidingcr and prostratcd King
upon'the floor. King, rs soon as he returned
to consciousness, called upon tho spectators
to pray for him, and declared himself con.
yertcd. Tho occurrence resulted in swelling

THE CHINESE WILL STAY.

Instead of needing the warnings of Kear-
ney and his followers, the Chinese have
come. They have come in force, fully ac-
credited from that child of the sun, the en-
peror, as the representatives of the fowery
kingdom to the youngest nation of the
world. Chen Lon Pin, decorated with the
peacock feather and wearing the button of
the second rank, is the envoy extraordinary,
and Young Wing, who weary the button but
not the peacock feather, is his assistant. We
have the word of the emperor of the celes-
tials for the statement that these are Just
and honorable men. OF this we are glad,
but regret that for the past few years the
ministers of the United States to China have
not been accredited with such character.
The sending of this mission to the United
States at the present time, taken in connec-
ton with the language of the credentials and
the speech of the envoy, is hint that the
Chinese shall not go from this country; that
they have come here and come to stay, and
will continue to come as long as they shall
choose. The envoy and his assistants have
come with the purpose of looking after the
interests Of the Chinese here, and may have
word to say in vindication of their rights
as men whenever an attempt shall be made
to abridge their rights by legislation or to
treat them as wild beasts, to be shot down
at sight as endangering the lives and prop
erty of citizens. They we're received by the
President and his cabinet in nreciselv tho
same manner as other foreign ministers are
received, and are therefore entitled to rank
in the diplomatic corps and to be respected
and treated with as much Difference and con-
sideration as the representatives of any
other second class nation in the world.
Let us suppose that the Congress of the
United States should undertake to impose
onerous burdens upon citizens of England,
France or Germany temporarily sojourning
or permanently residing in this country.

MYSTERIOUS MURDER.

Found Near Nt,' Home in OAio, Horri-
bfy MufiinteG.
Troy, o., Special (Scpt, 25) to Cincinnati En-
u,Irer.
One and ha't i:es from this point has
lived for the past twenty-five years a negro
family by the name of Coles. Several years
ago one of the daughters, Miss Anna Coles,
married man by the name of Geo Mitch
ell. This morning about half a mile from
her homo, near the residence of Mr.. Geo.
Peckham, was found the body of Anna bru-
tally murdered. The body was lying on its
face and was covered with blood The man
who first discovered the body, a negro by
| the naino of J sc Hail: Immediately gave the
alarm, when the news spread with rapidity,
and the body was soon surrounded by
crowd of 300 people. The Coroner" Dr.
RitzmlIer, VINO resides at Piqua, was teie-
graphed for, nlni soon put in appearance,
when the body was removed to town and an
inquest held
Upon examination Of the body fifteen to
twenty cuts wele found in tie head, neck,
and body. Even the hands and arms did
not escape, three fingers of the left hand be-
ing cut off Tic appearance of the body
axe, Ratchet, or corn-cutter, and were from
half an inch to six inches in length.
| She evidently tried to escape from her
murderer, as she could be traced down the
lane for over hundred ards by blood. and
her shawl was found in the fence corner,
some distance from her, cut with sharp
strument. Atte4 running this distance
some of hcr upaarcl0thing came down
around hel feet, wren she must have fallen
| and the mul daleI finished his bloody work.
Any one of five of the wounds would have
proved fatal, one OF them severing the YER
tebr;e of tie neck.
| Immediately npon the discovery of the
| body, officers began looking about to see who
would have 't,iT reason for committing such
a crime ut;uu this woman. Suspicion fas-
tened upon negro by the name of Cur
Hill, who, it is said, was lately heard making
threats against Annie, and upon her hus-
band, Geo. Mitchell, who she has not lived
with only at times for several years. He has
been heard to threaten her life and this
| morning was seen in the neighborhood with
corn cutter, such an instrument as the cuts
upon the body would indicate might have
been made With.
Hill was caught and pnt in Jail. When
| arrested he became very much confused, but
persons thli.k he had no hand in it, as he is
very near blind, and any one could get
| away from him If he did not succeed III his
! object the frst blow. The officers are after
Mitchell, but al, to this date have not sue
ceeded IN apprehending him, and no
doubt he wi: have to explain his presence
in the II. ichborhood where his
wife was found. Mr.. Geo. Peck
ham, near where the body was found, heard
screams, but paid attention them, as
the colored solks living in that ncighbor-
hood sometimes have fights among them
selves and make C, nsiderable noise. MIR.

that the dar!sies were having some trouble

tons feel it incumbent upon them to protest
against such outrages, and in case of their
protests being of no avail would they not APP
peal to their home government for an army
and navy to redress the wrongs; and would
not the plenipotentaries of all other nations
unite with them2 Can any different course
be adopted by the Chinese ENJOYS? Its
manifest that by receiving the representa-
tives of nation at court this government,
by implication if not in express terms, guar
antees that the rights Of citizens of that ma
ton shall be respected and defended, and
any attempt to perpetrate injustice would be
in extreme bad faith and bring our govern
ment into universal disrepute abroad. fit
was intended to impose in1ignities upon the
Chinese people. and if Postmaster General
Key, in his Sacramento speech, spoke by
authority, it would have been in far better
faith for Mr.. Hayes to have refused to re-
ceive the credentials of the ENJOYS. AS he
has chosen to recognize them, he has bound
the nation to a just regard for the rights of
the people they represent.
The recognition of the Chinese embas-
say has considerable significance. It
shows that the emperor of China
is not unaware of the eff
forts in progress to drive his subjects from
this country, and has determined to do
whatever lies in his power to protect their
interests. It shows, moreover, that the
Chinese have come to stay, and instead of
being checked, emigration has just been be-
gun, and will continue to increase. The
fact may suggest to our political communists
the policy of deyising a policy which shall
turn this coming population to good ac-
count. They must be brought under the in
fuence of our civilization, induced to con-
form to our laws and modes of life-in
short, transformed into American citizens.
The problem has already arisen, and it must
be met. Whether it will be turned to good
or to evil account will depend upon the wis
dom of those who are to frame our laws and
dictate our policy.

Correspondence of the Pioneer Press.l
L1roHFIELD, Sept. 25.-Being known here
as your special reporter and being accused of
sending you report in to-day's paper in re-
gard to the greenback convention held yes
terday, wish to say that said report is false
in every particular except that convention
was held. Donnelly had large audience for
this place, and his speech was we'll received
and the audience we'll behaved. The strong
probability is that Mr.. Washburn will not oct

for him to know the truth. The Republicans
of Meeker county can afford to be fair, and
such reports will do them no good.

upon other railroads, in his capacity as Pres

A CORRESPONDENT of the Chicago Tribune,
from Wisconsin, alleges that G. G. Washburn
refuses to surrender his citizenship in that
State. He will probably continue to refuse
until after the legislature shall have disposed
of the United States senatorship. Then, if
he fails to secure the prize, he will come to
Minnesota to attend to his milling business.
But a Washburn will never neglect even the
rennotest chance of slipping into a public

The Minneapolis Tribune declares that
Washburn paid his laboring men cash in
full before he took that pleasure trip to Eu-
rope, shortly after his failure. We trust this
is true, but why does not the Tribune pub
lish the schedule of payments showing how
Washburn settled with his creditors It
claims he came out with three hundred
Thousand dollars, but it don't say anything
about making creditors take pine lands at
ten times their value. Dare the Tribune
publish the schedule?
