WHAT THE PAPERS SAY
About the Burton LynchiEg OF the
Fiend, John Wallace.
New York Herald.
MOB LAW.

Outrsges of the kind committed on
Sunday in West Virginia are unfortun-
stely not uncommon In some parts of the
country, though In this case there were de-
tails OF tendishness and mslignity from
which even the summary vengeance OF
vigilance committees is ordinarily free.
But where the operation of the law is set
aside there is generally some fact that
stands as psllistion. In new Terri
tories or new States, in spsrsely settled
districts, where either the mach
inery OF justice does not exist, or
where it exists in terror of the classes
with whom it is appointed to deal, it is
only the sudden and awful retribution
visited upon murderer by a gathering
OF enraged citizens that keeps the crini.
nal classes under any restraint whatever.
In such places Lynch law has an almost
recognized existence as substitute,
however bsrbarous, for the more regular
system that the wild men who inflct it
desire. But the application OF this plan
in West Virginia is not of the
same nature. There can be no
pretence that the ssnctity Of life
requires it, or that the ordi-
nary machinery of justice is not equal to
all occasions. For the killing of Wal
lace, therefore, there is not shadow of
any sort OF psliistioo. 1t was murder
IS gross and as horrible as the one that
tnst led to it. 1t was, indeed, an ia.
6nitely more omlnous crime. In every
community in the world, however refined
and civilized, there are found to be in
dividuals-sceidentally horrible speci-
mems of humsnity-cspsble of any ex-
trsvagant act OF butchery; but the demon
s.ration that any considerable part of q
community is of this accidentally hor-
rible sort is fact of quite diff
ferent significance. let that is what is
demonstrated in this case. It is shown
that Wallace WAS Of a feather with
many OF his neghbors. Brutal, fero-
cious, cowsrdly murder seem to have
come as natural and easy to very large
number of them rs it came to him. This
crime is a stain upon the honor o. the
people of that State that can only be
lighlened by the punishment OF the nur-
derers, and if the State cannot punish
them 1t should give up the pretense to the
exercise of sovereign authority and go
into bankruptcy.

NOUNDsvILLE MENTION.

The rolling mill resumed operation
Monday morning last.
Circuit Court, Judge Melvin, is IN ses-
sion here.
Richard Shsddock, Esq.. Is putting in
the drain pipe from the water closets OF
the Jail. The terminus of the drain has
been changed from the "bssin," as was
frst intended, to the little creek, owing
to the owner of the basis withdrawing his
consent to have the pipe end there. Mr..
Shsddcck is to get, | understand, five
hundred dollars for doing the work,
the county furnishing the pipe.

agent there to make some purchases tor
him.
The second concert given by Miss
Cans and pupils was not as well attend
ed as its merits deserved. Those who
were present speak very highly of the
entertainment.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
finale of the Burton horror was about

still! the announcement by telegraph on
Sunday caused thrill OF horror In the
breasts of almost every one. The uni
verssl verdict here is, that the inhumsn
monster got exactly what he deserved.
Yet portion of the people deplore the
necessity which seems to require the Cit
izens 10 take the law in their own hands.
The REGISTER management is highly
commented here for the energy and en-
terprise displayed in furnishing the pub
lie with the full and reliable accounts
from day to day, of this horrible tragedy.
James Hemlick, white, and John
Brown, colored, were discharged from

deared herself to sll OF her schoolmstes,
by whom she was universally beloved.
She does not leave 8 single enemy in the

An Opinion So TO the lmpraeticabl
ity OF fRcIumpiion.

WASHINGTON, March 16.-MessrS
Ewing and Chittenden, the sub coumIt-
tee who went 10 New York TO witness
the weighing OF specie in the sub-Tress'
ury, have reported to the House Banking
and Currency ComnIttee that the re-
count established the correctness OF Sec.
retary Shermau's report. They stated
th.. they consulted large number
of Leading New York bankers IN
regard 10 resumption, and almost
unanimously the bankers declared Sec
retary Sherman cannot resume with the
amount OF specie he expects TO have on
hand next January. The bankers re-
ferred 10 Shermsn's recent statement to
the Senate Finance Committee, and ssld
il resumption is attempted on that bssis'
the banks will drain the Treasury IN
few DAYS. The committee sent sn invi-
tstlon TO Secretary Sherman to appear
before them srd meet the statements OF
the New York bankers. The Secretary
will probably GO before the committee
next Tuesdsy. The New York ban kers,
however, co not aIl think as these bank
ers seem TO have done.

Large Confederation OF Hostile In.
dIans in the Vicinity of Fort
Walsh

CHICAGO, March 27.-Unotiicisl but
trustworthy information from Fort
Walsh, confirms the recent story OF g
large confederation of hostile Indians in
that vicinity. Sitting Bull and Spotted
Eagle have been reinforced by lodges
from the Missouri river agencies, incIud-
ing Red Cloud, and it is now estimated
that there are from 5000 10 100 war
riors within hundred miles Of Fort
Walsh. Some OF these bands were seen
by Miles scouts. The ssvsges are very
restless and sre under the constant sur
vellisIce OF the too Limited force OF Cans

At a council held the last week in

the buffalo law, and Sitting Bull coun.
selled moderation toward tbs Can sdisn,,
but breathed defiance sgsins! the Amer.

The force is well armed snd splendidly
equipped, and could probably be aug
