dated October 18th, and printed in the
Cincinnati Times of Monday evening:
Letters received here from South Caro-
lima represent that the Democrats con-
tinue to refuse to allow Republican meet
ings to be held without dividing the
time with their opponents. At the same
time the Democrats absolutely refuse to
divide time at their meetings with the
Republicans. The Democrats enforce
their demand for division of time with
the Republicans by the aid of the State
militia companies, armed with guns fur.
nished by the United States Government
at the request of Wade Hampton and
Senator Butler.
All the accounts agree that the Demo
Gratis are trying to terrorize the Republi-
cans, and that Wade Hampton is doing
nothing to protect the latter in their
rights. In the District represented by
Congressman Small, the Democrats have
body of fifty armed men to ride to
every point where Republican meeting
is called, and demand division of time
and when this is refused, they boldly
break the meeting up.

Three or four cases have been recorded
within the past week or two. All that is
required is an accusation made by some
woman or child.
Here is case away up in Connecticut:
Soon after o'clock this morning Cas-

barn, and at about 3 presented himself
behind bull 'seye lantern and revolver
before the eyes of the frightened negro
"Is yonr name Edgar Freeman ?? asked
Castle.
1T is" meekly responded Freeman.
Then you are the man | want. Come
along with me.
That was sufficient. The negro rose
and, making hasty toilet, was taken to
the lookup, damp, dlngy room, under
meath one story brick structure, near
to his home, and this morning at O. clock
went back to the lookup to look after his
prisoner. When he reached there he
saw crowd gathering. and from the va
rious knots he could hear mutterings and
cursing and threats that portended a
storm. And he was not deceived for
soon after his arrival there came a crowd
of workmen from the Farrell Foundry and
Machine Company, where the father OF
the girl was employed, headed by one
Dave Sweden, burly fellow, who de-
manded that Freeman should be taken
| from his cell and hanged. This demand
met with favor from the crowd. and in
chorus they cried out, Hang him p
Hang him !"
| Grand Juror Sullivan, one of the custo-
dians of the keys of the lookup, was in
the crowd His presence was discovered,
and in the twinkling of an eye he was
knocked down by a terrific blow on the
right side of the head, which rendered
him insensible. His pockets were rifed,
the keys taken, and led by Dave Sweden

The door was thrown open, and just as
three of the party were pulling the negro
from his cell Constable Castle, Judge
Robert Peck, and William j. Clark, ci-
william, arrived They rushed into the
prison and attempted to rescue the negro,
who was so frightened that his raven
cheeks became pallid. Castle was knock
ed down with a club, and Judge Peck,
who demanded that the laws be respected,
and who threatened to call out the mill
tia unless the mob desisted, was felled by
stone thrown by one of the party. Mr..
Clark was trampled under foot and the
negro dragged out into the street. A

While the Republicans of Scioto are
feeling good over the election Of their
Sheriff, Davis Mackley and the Republi-
cans OF jackson county are filling the air
with their lamentations over the defeat
of their candidate Portsmouth Times.
The Times is slightly mistaken. The
Standard will get more Sheriff's printing
than it did before. The Democratic
Judge, Du Hallway, intimated that if
Sheriff Ewing did not advertise his chan
Gerry cases, such as sales on foreclosures
of mortgages, in the rebel paper, he, the
judge, would refer them to a Democratic
Master Commissioner, who would do So.
This gave more than half the Sheriff 5
sales to the rebel paper. We never OBJ
jected to this. 1t was right. The Judge,
or other officer, who fails to give the
printing which he controls to the paper
that supported him for office, is a scoun-
drel Now the case in this county is re-
versed We have Democratic Sheriff,
but a Republican Judge, and we expect
Judge Trip to follow the precedent es-
tablished by Judge Du Halfway, and the
name of Sheriff Jones, as Special Master,
will frequently adorn our columns or, if
he refuses, the name of some good Re-
publican Master will take his place

Some good people think that accounts
of murders and other outrages should
not be published and such good people,
who only read the Bible, think that all
people in this country are Christians,
many of them "sanctifed." They are
very Jealous in their efforts to send
Christian civilization to the "heathen,"
whatever they may mean by that. How
would it appear to read of such an occur
renee in Africa or China as the following,
which occurred in the great metropolis
of the United States:
From the Hoffman House Mary Lyon
started early this morning for St. Fran
els Xavier Church, on Sixteenth street.
In Sixth avenue she met two female
friends, and as they walked toward the
church they noticed a short, heavy built
man, about forty years of age. His gaze
was so pointed that, although Mary
walked between her two companions,
they could see that it was she that was
engaging his attention. They hurried
forward and he quickened his pace. AS
they approached the church entrance he
was close upon them. One of Mary S
companions stepped aside at the entrance,
and with the other Mary ran down the
steps and into the basement, where mass
was being celebrated by Father Thyry.
Mary, feeling that she was closely pur-
sued, hastened half way up the middle
aisle near where most of the worshippers
were sitting. Discovering seat which
already contained four women, she
crowded past them and sat down in the
middle The settee was directly beneath
painting of Christ bearing the cross.
Hardly had she taken her seat when the
man was at the end of the settee. Plac-
ing one foot within the narrow space in
front of the settee, he brandished q
butchers knife and stabbed her in the
right side He had not said word. The
| blade of the knife is seven inches long
and the handle about five inches. The
stranger backed rapidly down and out of
the building, cutting the air in front of
him with the knife as a menace to his
pursuers.
On the sidewalk he threw away the
knife and ran. An officer arrested him.
The woman was taken out of the church
and the officer took the man before her
She instantly recognized him. The pris
oner stared at her a moment and then
said: Il made a mistake-l thought it
was my wife" His wife, Mary Carpen-
ter, was employed in Sixteenth street, by
dress maker and milliner, until Satur-
day last, when she gave up her position
and went away, because her husband had
found out where she worked and had
often threatened to kill her. The other
working girls speak of her as an amiable
and industrious woman, who has long
been in terror of her husbands attacks.
They say he was angry because she would
not give him money.

Cured near Troy, Miami county:
The town and surrounding country is
all excitement over the murder of a ne
gress by the name of Anna Mitchell, aged
50, on the Covington pike, about a mile
and a half from this place, at seven
o clock this morning. The circumstances,
as near as can be ascertained, are these:

The people of Lawrence county are

DUNCAN, and the Republicans want him

The following is dispatch sent from
Ironton to the Cincinnati Gazette the day
after the election:

over Emmitt. If Senator DUNCAN, OF
Jackson, had stopped with us few days
longer trying to capture the laboring g

have had no votes at all. We hope
DUNCAN will come and see US again. In

Many wise persons are accounting for
the success of the Republicans on the
State ticket in Ohio. Some give one rea-
son; some another. We see no difficulty
in accounting for it. One year ago $4,000
Republicans refused to vote, when that
vote was to be taken as an Endorsement
of the Hayes treachery; this year that
miserable abortion was ignored entirely,
and 10000 of these disgusted Republicans
went to the polls. Let the Republicans
men, and pass Republican resolutions
next fall and the party will carry the
State by 10000.

Irve DUNCAN is not quite so green as the
people in Lawrence county supposed him
to be. The Ironton Register says:
DECLINED Last week Senator DUNCAN,
an ambrosial Democrat from the Jackson
district, was down here on a stumping g
tour. Having been the man who intro
duced the scrip law, he was trotted among
the furnaces 1t was thought that a dis
cussion would be a good thing so Colonel
George n. Gray sent challenge to Sen
ator DUNCAN, inviting that gentleman to
debate the political issues at the various
furnaces. Colonel Gray. being a practi-
cal man, of good, hard sense and high
character, Senator DUNCAN wouldn't have
any excuse to back out; So at first he
hesitated, saying it was matter for the
Democratic Central Committee. Then
Senator DUNCAN was asked if that com
mittee assented, would he agree to meet
Colonel Gray in debate, and he. replied
that he wouldn't. The truth of the mat
ter is, Senator DUNCAN was highly
alarmed at the prospect of having sc
much decency, truth and argument al
one of his meetings. He couldn't stand
it
Irve knows as we'll as any one that his
scrip law is sham. No one here pays
any respect to his silly law.

Our noble looking Senator, Col. Dun
gan, gained quite a notorety in Lawrence
county, as he does wherever he goes.-
His noble bearing, long experience as a
laboring man, and his eminent success as
practical fnancier, will soon secure for
him a national reputation, only inferior to
that of Kearney and Cohen
The Ironton Register fires this squib at
the truly great man:
''Irve DUNCAN wouldn't accept Col
Gray's challenge to debate. Irve thought
he was having his own way with the ig-
norant voters. He may think less of
himself and a little more of the intelli-
gence of the voters after this"

The following in reference to the mur-
der of negroes in Indiana, is from the
Cincinnati Gazette of Monday:
There is little prospect that any of the
citizens engaged in the lynching will ever
be brought to trial. Of course, many of
them are known to each other, and, per-
haps, to the law officers but the senti-
ment of the people is so strong that their
lawlessness will never be made subject
of legal investigation"
OF course not. Who ever heard of a
person being punished, any where, for
the murder of negro?

issue of his paper, on Col. Vance. was un-
manly and totally uncalled for. or."-[Galli-

Several weeks ago we said that persons
who were we'll acquainted in Gallipolis,
declared that there was not a man, wo-
man or child in Gallipolis who believed
that Vance was insane, and we put the
question squarely to Mr.. Hebard, editor
OF the Ledger, and said that if he would
say that he believed Vance to be insane
we would believe him but he utterly re-
fused to give his opinion, thus admitting
that it was all sham. Why such a man
as Vance should be thus held up, is in
deed strange.
