Anderson.

New ORLEANS, March 49,
The Supreme Court this morning was
crowded with members of the bar, pol
iticians and other persons anxious to
hear the decision in the case of the
State as. Thomas G.. Anderson, con-
victed IN the Superior Criminal Court
for publishing as true forged and coun-
terfeit election returns from the parish
of Vernon. Chief-Justice Manning read
a very lengthy opinion in the case.
After reviewing the charge, the ver-
dict and sentence, the court took up
two of the exceptions as being the only
ones necessary to consider in rendering
Judgment These were that there
had been no preliminary examination
and that il is no: the practice to prose-
cute by information. Both exceptions
were dismissed, the first on the ground
that preliminary examination is not
essential and the second that prosecu-
ton by information has been COM
mon rule in criminal prosecutions
for many years. The exception to
the drawing of the jury was also
dismissed on the ground that a Vio'
lation of the spirit of the law
is not pretended. If every cOnsoli'
dated return were forged and the Return.
ing Board complied with the law and
made their statement from the Commits
sioners' returns no injury could result
Ii does not appear that any paper ha'
been forged that is calculated, with
compliance with the law, To change th'
result. 1t is the essence of the crime
that it should he committed by a public
officer and ON "a document which woul'
change the result of an election. Thi
was not done.

The Horrors of War.

What the Pail Mall Gazette ironically
calls incidents of the holy war of the
nineteenth century" are vividly de-
scribed by a correspondent of the Lon
don Daity NeUS who accompanied the
Russian army from Philippopolis to
Hermanli. He saw the bodies of Bull
garian peasants with terrible wounds in
the head and neck, sometimes mutilated
and disfgured; women and infants,
children and old men, both Turkish
and Bulgarian, fallen in the field by
the roadside, half buried in the snow,
or lying in the pools of water. 1t
seemed TO have been one long battle be-
tween the peasants of both races, in
which the dead were counted equally
for each; but while many of the bodies
bore marks of violence and showed
ghastly wounds, the greater proportion
of the women and children were evil
dently frozen to death, for they lay on
the snow as if asleep, with the flush OF
life still on their faces, and the pink
skin of their feet and hands still un'
blanched. Side by side with these,
many corpses of old men, full of dig
nity even in death, lay stark by the
roadside, their white boards clotted
with blood, and their helpless hands
fallen upon their breasts. From the
muddy waters of the bitches tiny hands
and feet stretched out, and baby faces
half covered with snow looked out in
nocently and peacefully, with scarcely
sign of suffering on their features
Frozen at their mothers breasts, they
were thrown down into the snow t.
tighten the burden of the poor Great
ures who were struggling along il
mortal terror.

Lynching a Woman.

An atrocious deed was perpetrated in
the eastern portion of Rockingham
County on Wednesday night, and not
Lawson murder. 1t appears that on
Tuesday last a negro boy named Jim
Arbegast was committed to the Jail of
Rockingham County upon the charge
of having burned the barn of Henry L.
Sipe on the 2Sth ult. By the destruc-
ton of the barn Sipe lost two horses,
two head of cattle, and all the agricult-
ural implements on the farm. lnvesti-
CATION disclosed the fact that the torch
was applied at the instigation of col
ored woman named Charlotte Harris,
who is said to have had some grudge
against the Sipe family. A warrant
was procured for the arrest of the
woman, and on Wednesday evening
last n. II. and j. M. Talb and John
Sipe, who had gone in pursuit of Char
lotte Harris, arrested her and returned
with her in custody. They overlook
her as she was attempting to escape at
the house of Henry Bank, colored,
about two miles east of Earlysville, in AL
bemarle County. She was at once taken
before Magistrates Shipp, Maiden and
Argenwright, who gave the case pre-
liminary examination, and, the evil
dence being very strong against the ac-
cused, her committal to Jail was or
dered.
AT the conclusion of the examination,
the hour being late, the woman was
placed under a strong guard, Okeep her
safe and secure until the following morn
ing, when she was to have been taken
to the County Jail at Harrisburg. The
guard was composed of four persons.
The utmost quiet prevailed until about
| the hour of eleven p. m, when sudden
! ly two men, who in color were black,
made their appearance in front of the
building in which the prisoner was
confined. They then rushed into the
house with drawn and cooked revoly-
ers, and demanded the peaceable sur
render of the woman. They informed
the guards in determined manner
that if they gave her into their hands
quietly it would be we'll for them, but
il not, the result would be serious and
bad. While this parley was going on
and before the guards were allowed
time to make any resistance, there was
rush of armed men, all blackened
into the building.
After effecting an entrance they
seized the woman Charlotte Harris, anC
at once dragged her outside and up thu
road toward Gilmore's, distance o
about 400 yards. Here a peculiar sor
of tree, known rs black jack, becaus
of its toughness, was bent and u rop
attached thereto. The tree was held il
