What our Netx hbOrs Say.

On Saturday Delaware furn!s !shed the
world with another spectacle of her
barbar arous practice of the pillory sys
TEN. Periodically this three. counted
State brings itself into general notorie-
ty by public exhibition Of cruel tor
ture to its unfortunate victims. in
which they are inhumanly subjected
to the writhing agonies Of the knottrd
lash, urged on by h-artless crowd, ,
who stand around the brutal scene with
as much gusto as that relished by spec,
tators in the amphi theatre on the occa.
sion of Il Spanish bull fight. 1t is a
disgrace to this nineteenth century to
witness this relic of the bar barous ages,
worthy only th.days of the stocks and
bastinado.
Such is the undoubted conclusion We
are forced to, upon reading the plain,
matter of fact account given by the re-
porter, an eyewitness, in another col
unn. The commission Of these afro
cities in these days of Christian civil
ization is simply without parallel in a
country whose claims equal ours. We're
it in China, Afghan, Dahomey or even
Mexico, there would be seeming extern
uating circumstances, but in Delaware,
only q short distance from the National
Capitol, and that too ia this era Of hu-
manitarian reforms, is enough to make
an American hide his face with shame.
1t is one Of tn. "estigcs Of slavery, and
the little state which tolerates so infas
nous stigma upon its record does not
hesitate to send as its Representativ"
to Congress man who can only hold
the place because the accidental Presi-
dent Andrew Johnson, by pardon, re-
moved the disabilities of q rebel. May
It not be hoped that tn. Delawarean
State will soon expunge the foul stain
from her escutchron and rise up out of
this barbarity into the full sunlight of
christian civilization.- West Chester Re-
publican Dec. 2.

due Mr.. Myers to say that he knew Of

than what he lad done in connection

still hal some funny things to publish
in connection with his life
Mr.. Editor, ask in the name of
Heaven and this community, what priv
ileges? what power is delegated to
you as Journalist; have you the right
to blast and traduce a mans character
and then, when called upon to give the
crimes of which he is guilty, for you to
answer, well know some funny Incl.
dents in connection with his history.
How long will this people suffer these
indignities. have heard it said that
there is no law to reach this editor be-
cause he owns nothing. If this be so
then this community should rise up in
their might and say that any editor
that would so prostitute his position
could not live in our midst by With
drawing all patronage from him. Who

OF those that are as dear to you as life
Itself.

How Rev. u. r. White was Killed.

1t is not known that Rev. Mr..
White, recently reported assassinated
by mistake in Sumter, 5. c., was real
ly the victim of singular accident.
He was killed by II year old son of
Mr.. Spencer Davis, who was hunting
for hawks in the woods near the road.
The rife used was Remington, and
the heavy ball, missing its aim and
probably glancing downward from con-
tact with atwig, sped through the
forest to the road, two hundred yards
distant, and struck Mr.. White with
instantaneous'y fatal effect. The little
fellow was too much Mortified and
frightened when the body was taken
to his fathers house to tell how the
killing occurred. Investigation point.
cd 10 him, however, and having now
made full statement the colored man
Coleman, who was arrested, has been

A Fight with u MOnstrOus wildcat
IN Toledo,


IN Toledo.
The Toledo Blade, in a recent issu'
says;
The men employed about the Wa
bash and Lake Shore elevators wer,
treated to quite q time this morning
having the pleasure Of hunting anc
killing large wildcat. For some tim,
past the farmers on the east side hav'
been complaining Of .he depreciation,
OF some fierce animal, aud on severa
occasions some of them have shot at q,
object that would be Seen disappearing
with a chicken or fat turkey. All
efforts, however, to kill the brute proved
unavailing, and apparently they were
doomed 10 suilsr on.
At an early hour this morning two
men employed in Wabash Elevator, No.
4, obser ed an animal walking across
the Pennsylvania bridge, near the e!e
eator. they had heard Of thu my teri,
GUS visitor on the east side, and rightly
supposing that this was the cause of all
the CONSERVATION, they notified all the
men around the elevator, and they
turned out en- mdsse to effect its capture
or death. Procuring half inch rope
they made a slip knot, and placing it
so that the wildcat would step into it
as she walked across the bridge, they
secreted themselves and awaited devel
opments
The cat, evidently intent upon some
object on this side, walked along and
stepped into what was intended to be a
fatal trap. As soon az her foot vas in
the moose, the men at the other end Of
the rope gav" a vigorous pull, and her
catship was caught by the hind leg.
tn. men thought they had her sure
But she merely turned around, snapped
her teeth once on the rope. and sped
away, barring a part OF it on her hind
foot, making directly for the swaiI near
the elevator.
Then there was sport. About forty
men armed with clubs and revolvers
rushed after her trying to kill her. A
number Of dogs were brought into re-
QUESTION, but they dared not approach
nearer then seven or eight feet to the
brute, for sIe uttered an ominous
screech, that warned them to keep out
of the way. At length pussy took
another fight, ensconsing herself this
time under the docks at the elevator.
Here she was safe from the attacks Of
the dogs, and her glaring eyes kept
most of the men at respectful distance.
But one OF them, George West, inspec-
tor in No. 4, going cautiously to crew.
ice in the dock, took deliberate aim
with his revolver, and shot the wildcat
through the breast, making a centre
shot, and killing her instantly.
Then there was a cheer and the car
cass was dragged out and measured
the body being two feet and eight
inches long. She was very poor. but
weighed thirty-one pounds. Her teeth
were formidable objects, over an inch
long. 1t is probable that the skin will

JUDGE MCKINNEY, of our ad-
joining Tenn. District, is to be
charged with murder. So says DR..
Sewer, of the Jonesboro JOURNAL.
This is rich and are in a day of
type and telegraph, of thought and
literature. The JOURNAL says the
only thing that can cause a doubt
as to the high tone and honor CT
Judge Mckinney is the fact thai
the HERALD & TRIBUNE has &C
knowled time and again that he is
a gentleman of the highest honor.
The JOURNAL also says
We are informed that the Proprietor
of the Herald q Tribune has in his
possession some affidavits prepared in
Hancock county. which charge Judge
Mckinney with murder and other
high crimes. We suppose the object
is to give them publication on the v
of the election.
We further learn that they are beiEg
shown around by him privately to
persons of the Democratic party. We
ask that journal to publish these docu-
ments, if he desires to do so.
Again, we say if this is to be a cam
vass made upon personal matters, we
gladly and willingly place the moral
character and official conduct OF Judge
Mckinney in the balances with that
of Capt. Hacker. and we have ample
material to show as dark facts against
him rs the venom of the Herald and
Tribune could wish to show against
Judge Mckinney.
In this last article the DR.. may
be abiding to the organization Of
the parties who, in 1866 visited
certain persons by night and
Withheld them nearly to DEATH
We look on at all this, and would
say to DR.. Sewer that his position
when he stood like apillar of grano
tie amid the horrors OF cholera
was not more unpleasant than his
present one among tile assailants
of Judge Mckinney, who, if he
committed such crimes while he
was Judge, ought to have been but
was not impeached by the H. & T.,
and who, if he committed them
before being made Judge, has had
those crimes endorsed or condoned
by the people of the First Dis
trict. Bring out that ample ma
Doctor !

EhU Action Of the Berlin Con
OEeSS.


Dispatches from Berlin say that tl,e
Congress has decided 10 elect a Prince
for Bulgaria itself. The Turks an
%nounced their assent to the Austrian
occupation of BOsnia and IerZego-
vina, Austria having disclaimed any
intention to me those provinces
The New York Tribune on comment
ing on the situation says The Ber-
lin Congress has nearly completed the
new map of European Turkey. IG-
NATIEFF'S Bulgaria has been divided.
Bosnia aud Herzegovina have virtu
ally been cedpd to Austria the indie
pendence of Montenegro, Servia, and
ROumania has been recognized, the
strip of Bessarabia which Russia lost
i'm 1856 has been restored { o her, the
DObrudj / has been annexed to ROu-
mania and the frontiers of Montene-
gro and SeTvia have been readjusted,
We do not yet know what is to be the
precise fate Of Eastern R0umania, and
are still disposed to regard the separa-
ton OF the Balkan provinces as an
ill-adviSed compromise
The London Jctegr0ph'S Vienna
dispatch states that the Austrians
have arranged to enter the Turkish
provinces at two points simultaneous
ly, advancing slowly, go as to give the
Turks time TO retire.
The Herald of Saturday says that
Prince Bismark, in a conversation
with the correspondent of the Lon
don Times, said he saw that England
would 60 to war Oh the question of
Bulgaria, and so when negotiations
between England and Russia broke
down, he got them to renew them on
the basis of the Rumelian frontier as
a dividing line. Prince Bismark sees
no reason to insist on giving any
large share 10 Greece, and he thinks
England ought not to insist that
Russia shall abandon her claims to
Batoum. We presume this will set
tie the question of Batoum in Rus
sia's favor, on her promise never to
fOrtify it. The Greek question has
since been settled, by recommending
to Greece and Turkey a dividing line
from the Valley of Sllambria, on the
Argean Sea, to the WaIla Kalamazoo
river opposite Corfu.
Thus have nearly all the grave
questions been disposed of by the
Congress. OF Turkey and Europe
there is left only a trace. Russia
certainly gains much. She gets back
what the allies-France ard England
took from her after the fall of Sebas-
tOpOl in l856-Bessarabia, thus mak>
ing the Pruth once more her frontier.
She gets the splendid porte of Blto,
