Lynch Law in Virginia.

A dispatch from Richmond, Va, TO the New
York Herald, gives the particulars of the sum
mary execution of q colored woman IN Rock
ingham county, Va, by lynch law, on Friday
night last. On Tuesday last a colored boy,
named James Arbegast, was arrested on the
charge of burning the barn of Henry E. Sipe,
in the eastern portion of Rockingham county,
near the scene of the celebrated Lawson muir
der. The boy confessed the crime and de-
clared that he had been nstigated 10 its
commission by colored woman named Char
lotte Harriss, who is said to have some grudge
against the Sipe family. The woman was ar
rested on Friday in Albermarle county,
brought back to the vicinity where the fire
occurred, and examined oy a magistrate
over one hundred persons attended the exami-
nation, and the testimony being very strong,
the commitment of the woman to ial was
ordered. At the conclusion of the examina-
ton, the hour being late, the woman was
placed under guard, to keep her safe and
and secure until the following morning, when
she was to be taken to the county Jail at HAIR
| rissonburg. This guard was composed of
-four persons.
The utmost quiet prevailed until about IL
P. NJ, when suddenly two men, who in color
were black, made their appearance in front of
| the building iu which the prisoner was con-
| fined. They then rushed into the house with
drawn and cooked revolvers and demanded
the peacable surrender of the woman. They
informed the guard in determined manner
that if they gave her into their hands it would
be well for them, but il not the result would
be serious and bad. While this parey was
going on and before the guard were allowed
time TO make any resistance, there was rush
of armed men, all blackened, into the build.

SATISFACTORY VERDICT. public gem
orally will be glad to learn that on Saturday
last after being out for twenty-four hours,
the jury of the Criminal Court OF the District
of Columbia brought in verdict of guilty in
the case of Edward Ray, alias f. II. Curtis
indicted for vile criminal assault at the Ma
tional Hotel, Washington, in March of last
year, upon the person of the Young orphan
girl, Ella Tydings, of Baltimore. The offense
was greatly aggravated by the fact that the
girl was taken from Baltimore BY Curtis on
the false preiense that she was to enter the
service Of his sister as nurse to her children
and that an orphan was preferred The maxi
mum penalty for the crime of which Curtis
has been convicted, under the District law
is Imprisonment for thirty years in the peni-
tertiary, aud il is understood that Judge
Wvlie, before whom Curtis was tried, IL dis

law. Sentence, however. has not vet been

PULPIT AND POLITICS.

OF late years there has not transpired po-
hlical event o: any magnitude that n large
portion Of the pulpit of this country did not
either advocate or oppose. Ministers begin to
think that il is part of their vocation to
preach politics as well as Christ. During the
late financial fight it was no unfrequent oc-
currence for convocation of ministers TO be
called to protest agains, The passage of the
silver bill. and il was only lately that n depu-
tation made It's pilgrimage from Baltimore 10
the holy presence Of Hayes TO ask for the APP
pointment of certain person TO office. In
the Acts Of the Apostles they went about to-
gether dong good, healing the sick and open
ing the eyes OF the biad and preaching the
gospel, but we fail 10 find where they ever
asked an office for anybody. Christ had just
left them and his instructions were still fresh
10 their minds, but, alasl The full import Of
those instructions were lief. for the iheologi-
cal wisdom of this age TO comprehend, and
their connection with political affairs are now
thorpughly understood. The command as now
eompfehended was not TO preach Christ alone,
but also politics. and we'll DOES the pulpit Of
the prssen, day respond. We do not exactly
agree With them. We ,biik the Church aud
