WHAT HON. JEREMIAH g. BLACK HAS TO
SAY ABOUT THE TITLE OF PREsI-
DENT HAYES.
Special Dispatch to the Cincinnati En-.
quirer
PHILADELPHIA, May 27.-Judge Jere.
miah S. Black was interviewed here
to-day on the investigation going on
ct Washington into the frauds Of 1875.
II was easy to cay that he was under
some restraint in this part of his chat,
arising, perhaps, out Of past or pres.
ent professional connection with the
subject, He said:
IL take no stock 10 the prospect OF
turning out Hayes by a quo warranto.
No doubt Hayes got the Presidency BY
means of fraud, but he got 1t and has
II. II was conceded 10 him by the
House of Representatives, which ought
to have withheld it from him. Pos.
session under such circumstances is Ii.
tie TO every legal intent and purpose.
Mr.. Hayes is President for four years,
unless bis term shall be abridged by
impeachment, resignation or death"
"Can be be impeached for the fraud
practiced to elect him"
Certainly not; but if there was q
fraud 10 which he consented or for
which he bargained beforehand, and
after be got into power be rewarded
the guilt Of the rascals by giving them
Offices, he is impeachable for that; 80,
also, is any subordinate officer who did
the same thing. That q fraud, stupen.
dOus, shocking and outrageous was
perpetrated Ia Louisiana aud Florida
is beyond denial. 1t has been already
proved many times, in thousand
ways and by clouds of witnesses. The
pending investigation can only bring
out some particulars showing by whom
il was inStigated and paid for hope
and believe that Mr.. Hayes had moth.
ing 10 do with It, but certain 'Visilin z
statesmen may have gone down there
and committed the crime, using the
State officers as mere instruments, who
did their corrupt work on a contract.
II one Of these men became Secretary
of the Treasury afterward, and carrie d
out the filthy bargain by rewarding the
criminals, then there is no law or jus.
tice either that can save them from i'm.
peachment. An example Is needed.

ground, Gnd moved to this objective

Terrible TRAGEDY,

ATTEMPTED MURDER OF AN ENTIRE FAM,

Ans HEAD CUT oFF-sUICIDE OF THE
MURDERER.
Special TO the Cincinnati EnQulrer.l
CHICAGO, May 27.-A special from
Arlington, ILL.,, to-day, gives full par
ticulars of the horrible tragedy which
occurred in that place last night. II
appears q man named Samuel Kearney
had been for some time waiting upon
Mrs. Elizabeth Shehan, daughter OF
James Cullenblne. She had not lived
with her husband for several years, but
resided with her parents, and maintain
ed her two boys by her own exertlons.
Kearney visited the place Saturday
night, and asked TO be allowed to re.
main Sll night, but was refused. He
returned again yesterday, and remain.
ed 10 dinner with the family. He
started up stairs to where Mrs. ShehAn
was sitting, and almost Immediately
the report Of pistol was heard, and
cries Of murder.
Mr.. Cullenbine, her father, started
for the stairway, and beheld his
daughter descending, covered with
blood, and Kearney trying to detain
her by holding to her hair. She disen-
gagged herself, however, and ran out
upon the porch, and fell, Kearuey fol.
lowing closely. Mr.. Cullenblne at
tempted to interfere, and was shot by
KeArney, the ball taking effect in bis
hip. The murderous villain then ap.
preached the PROSTATE form of Mrs
ShehAn, and with q butcher-knlfe cut
her tlr).t from ear TO ear, literally sew.

Cullenbine, the lady's mother, in at
tempting to draw him oil, received a
slight cut In the back OF the neck from
the knife.
Mr.. Caanberlin, a barber, living
near, appeared on the scene, and Kear,

and drew raZ)r from bis pocket and
cut a deep cash in his own throa', sev.

upon the porch, took oil his coat and
vest, and again applied the razor to his
throat. lie fell upon the porch and in
stautly expired. Kearney was 4 man
of about forty years, and had a bad
character.

ACCORDING to the glowing view Of

complete success and the peace Of
Europe now fairly is In train; all Of
which is not stated loosely or weakly,
but with positivism and dates. Yet In
despite Of this assurance, the temperate
utterances of the London Observer
probably come closer 10 the actual
truth and are entitled to much more Of
respectful consideration. Il 10 not
reasonable 10 suppose that Russia has
yielded 90 entirely as is stated In the,
Paris newspaper after holding out 80

ciple OF the terms already proposed.

ST. James, is base for future negotia.

peaceful relations between the rival
Powers. II this much has been &C.
complished, long Start has been
made toward final strengthening out
OF the existing tangle Of affairs; and Il
Is certainly far better TO confne ex.
pectation 10 this reasonable limit than
to permit II TO stray away into the doc

Memorial Celebration aG the
National Cemetery,


About elk hundred colored people
from this State aud Louisiana were
present yesterday on the beautiful
grounds Of our National Cemetery to
assist In the annual decoration Of Union
soldiers graves. At 1880 pm, Hon.
VIM. L. Murrell, of Madison parish,
took the Chair, and In q few SpprOpri-
ate remarks stated the object of the
meeting and proceeded to introduce
the first speaker, Hon. Jae. Hill, ex.
Secretary Of State Of Mississippi. Mr..
Hill's speech was decidedly liberal, un-
tinged by prejudice or pedsgogism, and
gave evidence OF careful thought,
good taste, and q commendable regard
for the opinions and feelings OF those
who espoused "the other side" Our
crowded space permits only few ex.
tracts. In his exordium he said: We
are here, to-day, fellow.citiz4ns, with
malice toward none and charity toward
all to commemorate the deaths and to
decorate the graves OF the brave men
who died in defense of the flag aud
maintenance OF lbe Government Of our
country" Arr summing up the re-
suits OF the la'e war upon his own race,
and alluding to the unfortunate strife
and acrimony of political parties
Immediately following the war,
and the Reconstruction measures pur-
sued in the Southern States, the or.
ator continued: "The condition Of
Southern communities as thus outlined,
suggestG 10 me duties TO both classes Of
our citizens the consideration Of which
are pertinent 10 the present hour.
There Is a duty mutual 10 the white
and colored citizens which with great
propriely may be indicated on this oC.
casiOn, and that Is the character Of
judgments that they may form Of each
other. Our community of interest Is
so substan ial and permanent that NJ
man, white or colored, upon any occa.
sion, or for any purpose, can be justi-
fed before the public opinion OF the
country in Oh attempt to use either the
prejudice or ignorance Of the races.'
Ex-Governor z. L. S. PinChback fol-
lowed in q speech OF an hour and a
half IN which he paid a glittering trib.
ute to the sacrifices Of the colored sol.
dier in American history. We give
one extract: "The first assault upon the
British soldiers In Bos on, Massachu.
setts, March 5, ITO, which was the first
act in the Revolutionary War, was led
by Crispus Attucks, a mulatto slave,
and he was the first 10 fall in the cause
Of American Independence" I'VE
would !. . 10 publish The entire
speech oil Governor Pinchback, as
also that tf Mr.. Hill, but the length
OF the speeches, and the crowded con.
dition OF our columns for the present
at least debars Us from indulging our
inclination. w. H. Goens, Esq, Of
Delta, and Rev. DR.. S.ringer, of Vicks-
burg, also delivered orAtions eulogis-
ing the dead, and advising the living.
After prayer by toe Rev. DR.. Green, Of
Vicksburg, the decoration of the graves
took place. The ceremonies through
out were decoEOus and impressive, and
were conducted with q dignity and
solemnity that was edifying, and re-.
Aected credit upon all the participants.
