Judge Lynch in Alabama.

Nothing has been talked of here since
Friday but the foul assassination of
George Shoenberger, a butcher, and one
of our most prominent citizens, by two
negroes named Ben Evans and Eph
Hall, instigated by Mike White, white
man, and also a butcher. Peo-
pie came in from every direction in
droves. BY noon the streets of Hunts
vile, and especially in the neighborhood
of the Jail, were literally packed. All
was expectation and anxiety. Thou
sands of eyes were turned down Merid-
ianville road, In momentary expectation
of the small army known to be coming.
The excitement was no of the most in
tense character. At 1:30 the people
shouted, "They come |" This allusion
was made to large body of horsemen,
armed with double-barreled shot-guns.
They observed perfect order, and formed
around the Jail. There were hundreds
OF them. The thousands of citizens and
countrymen thronging the streets gave
place to the horssmen. A demand was
made for the keys, but they could not
be found, nor the Sheriff. Armed with
sledge-hammers and crowbars, the mob
broke through the fence into the jail
yard, and then into the cells occupied
by the trembling murderers, who were
led out, bound, mounted on wagon
and taken down Spring branch, half a
mile away, followed by the multitude.
Ropes were tied to the limb of tree
and adjusted about their necks. The
negroes reiterated the same tale they
had first told, but Mike White main
tanned his innocence. In the minds of
the people not a shadow of doubt exist
ed as to his guilt. The condemned men
were asked if they had anything to say.
White said he had nothing, except that
he was innocent and ready to meet his
God. Evans said 81 know have to
die. We were all in it. Hall shot the
gun, and I shot the pistol" Turning
to White, Evans said: "See, Mr..
White, what you have brought me to-"
Hall said: "I've nothing to say more
than what I've already stated" Just
before swinging off, White said: "God
be with my wife |" They were asked if
they would like to be prayed for. White
said ono" but the negroes requested
the Rev. Mr.. Gordon to pray for them,
which he did. The wagon was driven
from under them at $50, and the trio
pronounced dead at 3 :15 and their bodies
cut down.-Huntsvitte (Ala.) Cor. Chi

This is the only world know
IL Ia in this same world, no doubt,
An me but could love him 80,
IL could only md him out
The little boy dreamed about
This little boy who never takes
The prettiest orange he can see,
The reddest apple all the cakes
when there are twice enough for three
Where can the darling ever be?
He does not tease and storm and pout
To climb the roof In rain or sun,
Aud pull the pigeons feathers out
To see how IL viii look with none,
Or fight the hornet-one to one
He does not hide, and cut his hair,
And wind the watches wrong, and cry
To throw the kitten down the stair,
To see how often II can die
Otis strange that you can wonder why'd
He never wakes too late to know
A bird II singing near his bed;
He tells the tired morn: "Iou may go
To sleep yourself" He never said,
When told to do thing, +" Tell Fredw
II say ego" he viii not stay
To lose hat or break toy;
Then hurry like the wind away,
And whistle like the wind for JOY,
To please himself--this little boy.
Let any stranger come who can,
He will not say--if IL Is true
"Old lady" (or T" old gentleman W,

think my mamma wants you to !"
No, fairy land il far and dim;
He does not play in silver sand;
But If 1 could believe in him
could believe In fairy land,
Because-you do not understand.
Dead? Dead? Somehow, do not know,
The sweetest children die. We may
Miss some poor footprint from the snow,
That was his very own to-day
Goods will is what the Christians say.
Like you, or you, or You can be,
When you are good he looks, no doubt.
I'D give-the goldenest star see
In all the dark to find him out

The Famine In India.

There are still upward of 100000
people on Government relief in India,
either employed on public works or
oeing fed in camps and hospitals, and
the prospects of any speedy decline of
distress are getting more remote as the
season advances. Practically the eff
tects OF famine will press on the Govern
ment resources for at least another year.
With regard to the area of existing dis
tress In Southern India, certain parts Of
The Mysore state are undoubtedly the

men claimed four OF the seven members,

the new storm. The Council ordained

PASSAGE OF THE SILVER BILL.

The Silver bill passed the Senate by
more than II two-thirds vote, on Satur-
dav morning. a few amendments were
made which will require its return to the
House, where it will probably be passed
to-day under suspension of the rules.
Under the proper head on the first page
of this issue OF the REGISTER we print
the full text OF the bill as il passed the
Senate. This bill provides tor the coin
age of the old dollar Of the fathers, with
4l2B grains. II will be legal tender
for all debts and dues, public and
private, except where otherwise
expressly stipulated in the contract. The
Secretary OF the Treasury is required to
purchase and have coined into dollars
silver TO the vslue of not less than two
million dollars nor more than four mil
lions each month. Upon the passage o!
this bill the Chicago Tribune remarks:
"The passage of this bill over the COM
bined opposition of the money Interests
of the country, backed by the influence
of the Secretary of the Treasury and the
officers of the mint, is triumph for the
people that goes far to vindicate the
Justice OF popular government and the
silent power of public opinion. The
great fraud Of lS73-74 stands condemned
by the whole country. The dishonest
act of demoaotz stion is properly
and appropriately branded by the over
whelmisg votes of both Houses of Con.
rress. II was not in any sense party
question. Both parties came to the de-
tense Of the country, and united IN the
rescue Of the nation from the grasp OF
the Shylocks. All honor TO the men OF
tho Yves the South, the Middle States
OF the Pacific, who have forgotten sill
.cciionalism, and made common cause,
for the robbed, outraged and betrayed
people.
1--WE congratulate the country upon
the result-Dational, political and moral.
W. congratulate Congress upon its
triumphant victory over all the peculiar
in nuences that have SO long controlled
legislation. We congratulate the Sem
at,rs and Representatives who have so
long and bravely and ably deiied the
storm OF abuse and viliiGcation showered
upon them. We cor graduate the Secrc-
tsry of the Treasury that the American
people and the country have relieved
him of all further responsibility by
substituting the rational for his
personal viii m the matter OF ma
tionsl finances; ard We congratulate
tho President tina. the people have left
nothing open to doubt or uncertainty,
but have passed this bill by such aVo'e
thst nothing is left to him but 10 give
his assent 10 the legislation already de-
creed by Congress and the country at
large. AS we'll consider the expediency
of vetoing the whirlwind SIS 20 attempt
in this case to arrest or delay the eXecu-
ton of the national will on this measure
of national and universal interests.
"In view of the great popular victory,
we extend hearty forgiveness even to
the hardest-hesrted Shylocks, satisfied
that in due time even they will find it to
the general benefit that silver has been
restored to the money of the country"

THE nELLAIRE WAREHOUSE.

Our Columbus correspondent points
out, this morning, that the approprla-

warehouse building at Bellaire, failed to
receive the requisite two thirds vote,
and was, therefore, defeated. 1t seems
to us that the Legislature should yet re-
consider this action and make the sp-
preparation Yahd. Now that so much
has been expended, it would seem to be
tho part OF wisdom TO vote the little
more required 20 make the first effective.
