The West Virginia Triple Murder.

On Wednesday of last week terri
BILE tragedy occurred near Littleton,
West Virginia, in which the wife and
child of George Wallace and young
lady named Church were brutally mur-
dered. They were all found with
their brains beaten out, with ham
mer or some other blunt instrument
John Wallace the brother of George
was suspicioned, arrested and after
wards made full confession. He says
that Mrs. Wallace had talked badly
about him and his wife, and that after
killing her the baby began to cry, and
he got angry at it, battered its head
against fence, and he then concluded
he would go and kill Miss Church. He
went back to the house and asked her
to get something to eat. As she passed
him he struck her with the hammer he
had used to kill Mrs. Wallace, and
when she had fallen continued to beat
her. He then went home and slept
soundly until morning, when he gave
the alarm in order to to screen himself.
He says his brother George is inno-
cent, but tried to implicate man
named Villars, whom he declared
offered him $50 to kill Mrs. Wallace.
This confession is believed to be only
partly true, as both Mrs. Wallace and
Miss Church are thought to have been
outraged. The coroner's jury brought
in verdict to the effect that the de-
ceased came to their deaths at the hand
of John Wallace.

THB MURDERER LYNCHRD.

WHEELING, W. VA, March 2.-This
morning at 1.25 o'clock party of about
twenty-five men, all disguised, demand
ed admittancs to Blacks Hotel, Little
ton, near this city, where John Wal
lace and George Wallace, alias Baker,
were in custody for the triple murder
on the 9th inst. As the masked men
went up stairs they knocked the lamp
chimney off the lamp and blew out the
light, and kept up continual shooting
and shouting, and on arrival at the
room where the prisoners were, they
forcibly entered. John Wallace jumped
behind one Of the guards for protection,
and cried out, "Oh my God. save me!'
They told Baker to keep his seat, and
then some of the mob knocked John
Wallace and the guard down, and put
a rope around Wallace's neck, trampled
the guard under foot, and told Wallace
that Miss Church wanted to see him,
and started, dragging him down stairs
head foremost out of the house on to
the railroad, with the rope around his
neck. The mob started up the railroad
with him. He was found q mile and a
half east of Barton at 6.15 A. M. dead,
hurg with rope to the limb Of an ap-
pie I ee, the rope passing under his
AMI behind the ears. His feet were
three feet from tho ground

represented, SO that they can manufac
ture their own articles and be indepen
dent, let each one occupy their owr
dwellings and each one live in their owr
house. Let them pay back as fast as
they can, the price Of the land.
The speaker dwelt at some length on
"Fashion." There were too many Of
the laboring class who wanted to be in the
fashion with the wife Of a millionire.
He spoke of men who in order to salts
fy their wives, purchased large houses
instead Of building a nice little house
Of 4 rooms. He never sawia man put
up house far beyond his means but
what the Sheriff came in and knocked
of the house to the lowest bidder. Our
! wanting somebody else has got, contin-
ually keeps us down to the grindstone.
Speaking of the Western countries,
he said, great many say they never
plowed, and said the speaker, can't
/ any ignoramus hold two plow handles;
can't he drive the teami Certainly he
can, its good to plow the sweet mother
earth. w %3 HF#
No man ever succeeded in driving a
nail without hitting his fingers. When,
you can drive a nail shove lack plane
and saw board straight; then you are
master of the situation. A country
that is growing up, that is the country
to go to. The only way is to 60 where
there is chance to develop, and that
is on the broad field and prairies of the
West. ,...
The aboring man thinks he can work
at only one thing He would rather
know how to do quite a number of
things. His advice was to pitch in and
you were pretty sure to succeed.
A man once came to the speaker and
asked him if he could make blinds. He
said he could. He never saw blind
made before in his life. Before he made
them lie went around and saw other
blinds. l made hinety-eight blinds,
hung them on the houses at one dollar
pair, and | got my money and spent
it for whiskey.
That is what makes the one great
difficulty with the laboring man. After
he earns his money he goes to the cigar
shop and whiskey shop, and spends it.
He should spend it for his dear home
or put it into some saving bank.
| should say to the people "Go out
West" You will never rise unless
you allow your brain to work, unless
we cultivate our minds. In the soul is
little mustard seed, a little leaven.
Develop the mustard seed and work
yourself up. Perseverance is the gold
en- key to success, and by and by you
will be worth your millions. There are
many whose education is superficial
and not practical. They are educated
in such way they canuot care for
their Door bodies. Study, work with
your hands and cultivate your brains.
What this country is, or what it may
be we owe it to the laboring man that
not only developed it with his hands,
but with h is brain.

Affairs at the south,

DO not care Tor myself, but do care for
the poor colored men of the South. The col.
ored mans fate will be worse than when he
was in slavery.-R. h. Hayes.
When the President uttered these pro-
phetio words his soul was in travail, and
they issued from the safety-valves of the
heart when too much pressure is laid on. ,
II was not clear which DANIEL would
come to judgment-himselr or the dreaded
TILDEN. The balance OF fate was poised
and the controlling power of to Z had NOT
been developed. With selfsacri6cinr q
spirit, worthy devotion to right under the
most trying ordeal, Mr.. HAYES, as he saw
ths Presidency dissolving into thin air a.
the mists of the morning disappear when
the sun climbs up the eastern sky, as.
sumed the role Of JEREMIAH, and his ewes
became fountain of tears over the i'm.
pending fate Of "the colored men of the
South" if fortune should decide in favor o
TILDEN. But II turned out that g out
weighs in the scale, ane Mr.. HAYES was in
augurated as President ofthe United States
A year Of his Presidential term has passed
by, and In that brief period, only twenty.
five per cent Of his full term, the colorcd
mans fate has become worse than when
he was in slavery"
As MOSES for the colored man President
HAYES has not proved a success. Instead
Of averting the calamities against which
his prophetic soul cried out in such agony
his policy has intensified them, until to-day
our advices from Mississippi and Georgia
are such as to make the heart sick in view
Of the expressions that are settling down
upon the prospects Of "the poor colored
men Of the South" over whose fate Mr.
HAY Es' heart was bowed down with griei
when he viewed their case through the
eyes Of Governor of a noble, liberty loving
State. The colored people of the South ar
physically and socially in n worse condition
to-day than when held in the bonds OF
slavery, and as citizens their badge of citi.
zenshtp u mockery and far more gallin,
than the chains which bound them in in
voluntary seryitude. The Constitution prom,
ises them protection in equal rights befor,
the law as citizens, but tine protecting arm
of the Federal power has been withdrawn
and the written law Is not worth the parch
ment on which 1t is inscribed. The guar
antees Of the Constitution are suspended
The rights of citizenship are baseles
dream. The heel of political oppression il
planted upon their citizenship with a powel
as ruthless as that which restrained thei
physical freedom as men. The Constitution
and its guarantees have become mer
sham, and the condition of the colored maj
could not have been more ,deplorable ha,
TILDES been declared President of tn
United States, the fear Of which converte,
Mr.. HAYES into prophet, and extracte,
from him a prophecy that he has aided ;
confirm in history.

New YORK Sprfnx Elections.

Many Of the cities and most of the towns
In the State of New York held their cleo
tions for municipal and town officers on
Tuesday last The results are gratifying to
the Republican interest. Notable Republi-
can victories and gains have been made In
Monroe, Orange, Ulster, Dutohess, and other
counties, while the Democrats have been
especially unfortunate in oil the contests
thus far heard from. The Greenback party
developes considerable strength In some To-
calitles, having carried the cities of Auburn,
Elmira, Utica, and Oswego. The Republi-
can party throughout the State gives token
of vitality which from this time forth will
put on strength, and which will in the next
Congressional election recover Its lost
ground. The people discover now that the
only hope Of peace and prosperity for the
country is to prevent its falling into the
hands of the late insurgents who control
the Democratic party, and if permitted to
do 80 will control the Federal power. They
begin to see and feel the deplorable conse-
quences that would inevitably follow the ac-
cession Of the Democratic party to power,
and tho coming summer and fall through
out the Northern and Western States will
be devoted to organization and work, with
view to presenting solid North
against solid South" and thus save the
nation from an impending calamity, worse,
If possible, than rebellion itself
