An AMENDMENT OF THE LAW DEMANDED.
Theexcitement in the northea stern section
Of the city on account of the outrage commit
ted on Friday night las; on the person of Miss
Eva Wilson, may be said To be- somewhat
abated. although every clue which il Is sup
posed VIII lead 10 the detection of the perpe-
traitor Is carefully followed up. The general
sentiment directly after the occurrence was
that the guilty party should be promptly hung
and II i probable that had the police arrested
him, and Miss Wilson positively identified him.
he Would have been lynehed on the spot, even
at the cost OF many lives in doing il. Through
out that section of the city there are but few
who believe that Cephas Jones. who was tried

weeks since land IN whose ease the jury fail

charge. and the result Of the trial, followed so
soon by another similar outrage, very natural

the law which preScTibes the punishment for
rape al Imprisonment in the penitentiary at
from Toto 80 years should bc amended, and the
death nalty restored, and that for such eases
provision should be made for giving the party
charged his right under the constitution of 4
speedy tTial-aUjhOrity to he vested in the
court To summons a special grand Jury, and To

THE VILLAIN AND HIS VICTIM.
y To this time there have been about a
dozen arrests, hut none Of the prisoners were
Identified. and thus have been released The
description Miss Wilson gives of the man is
shdt he i NeiN TAN ana udTk wore dark piIta-
looms. bTawn coat and a large SlOuch hat
drawn over his eyes. The physicians are conf
dent the brute did not fully accomplish his
purpose: but Miss Wilson received terrible
treatment. She was bruised by the blow
which knocked her SenSeleSS. and WAS
scratched and bitten by her assailant.

The Outrage Cases.

Mr.. EditOr:-THE STAR Of last evening. i'm
speaking of the outrages recently perpetrated
in the northeastern portion of the city, says
that Lynch law must not be thought OF for

of the city. We have asked for protection.
courts one whom a majority of the residents
believe guilty OF the horrible crime OF rape.
The evidence, direct and convincing To an
unprcjudiced mind, failed To procure a yer
dict of guilty. We believe the color line was
drawn in the jury room. We also believe that
To these facts we are indebted for this last
outrage. We do not believe the authorities
can or will protect us as long as matters remain
ia their present condition in the Capitol. Re
trenchment has put il beyond the power of the
Police Commissioners TO protect rs. There
fore, as in duty bound. we must protect our
selves. We cannot sit idly by and see our
insulted on the streets: and If. in the course
of our plain duty rs their projectors. We are
compelled to exact ian eye for an eye" the
pubic must place the stigma, if any attaching
thereto, where il belongs-upon the gentlemen
who. coming from distant sections OF the cOun-
try. care more for the chance OF telling their
constituents how much they have saved in
public expenditures than they do for the lives
of the residents of this DStrict-than they do
for the purity of those whom We hold near
and dear. A few thousands added to the
appropriation for police purposes would have
prevented many of the yillaineS which have
come 10 light in this District. Now we ask
YOU in ali fairness. if we are expected tO sit
down and fold our hands, let these outrages
go on and as each fresh one comes To light
simply roll up our eyes, clasp our hands. and
