Gen. WOodford and MRS. Chisholm
I'm Route South.

NEW YORK, August Is. - United
States District Attorney Stewart l..
Woodford left this city to-day for De-
Kalb, Kemper county Mississippi, to
prosecute the alleged principals in the
massacre of Judge Chisholm, and his
son and daughter, in April 1877. Ac-
companying Mr.. Woodford 10 his
daughter, who will act as escort and
companion of Mrs. W. W. Chisholm,
who will join them at Harrisburg. Mir.
Woodford has volunteered his services
to Mrs. Chisholm, and promises to do
all in his power to punish the murder
ers. The trial begins in Ksmper county
at the opening of the court in Septem-
Der, and will probably continue some
weeks. Mr.. Woodford has already
gathered numerous facts about the
crime, and he goes to Kemper county
in advance to get further informed, and
to personally examine the witnesses of
the people. The widow of the late
Judge Chisholm feels very deeply the
loss of her husband, son and daughter,
and is bent upon seeing justice done to
their murderers.
They were killed in Kemper county
Jail, on Sunday, April %, 1878. On
the previous Thursday, John W. Gully,
q well.known citizen of the county,
was assassinated, and two colored men
of the county made affidavit that Benja-
min Pashe, q white man, had killed
him, and that Judge Chisholm, who
run for Congress on the Republican
ticket, in the Third Mississippi Dis
trict, snd his son and three white men
named Gilmer, Rosenbsum and Hoef-
fer, all Republicans, had instigated the
crime. Judge Chisholm and his son
wsre arrested and locked up in Kem-
per, and his wife and daughter, aged
eighteen, insisted on sharing his con-
finement. On the following Sunday,
Judge Chisholm sent to Coaba for Gil
mer, for whom warrant had been is
sued, and as soon as Gilmer arrived, he
was arrested, but as he reached the Jail
he was set upon by mob and killed.
The mob then oyerpowering the jsiler,
fell upon Judge Chisholm and his SOD,
and while they nortally wounded
the former, they killed the latter.
Miss Chisholm and her mother fred
upon their ASSISTANTS. The young lady
shot and killed Dr. KAISER, but she
was herself mo-tally wounded, and
subsequently died from her injuries.
Mrs. Chisholm severely wounded son
of Mr.. John w. Gully, who was assss-
sinated.
Mr.. woodford expects to encounter
az excited state of feelings in Kemper
county, a. the old feud which led to
the unfortunate affair il said to still ex-
ist. Assistant District Attorney Fl. r.
Ware, Of the Southern district of Mis-
sissippi, who 10 native Of that State,
is said to hare been threatened; but,
writing to hIrs. Chisholm, he says:
ssAs to your fears that my life may pay
the forfeit Of my action in this prosecu-
ton, think nothing Of this. Life to
me in the past had too many dangerous
ordesls to quail now before the hate of
this band OF men. A Republican who
proposes to be anything in the South
can not afford to fear anything Mr..
Woodford Is q snowy boy-in-blue ora
tor and will probably make Of the trial
all that is decent to make in the way Of

WIG NIuraer az laredo.


An exciting scene was enacted at the
ferry, on the NueYa Laredo side, Sun
day morning, which, for cold-blooded
audacity, has no parallel in the annals
of this city. One Rafael Flores, q
Mexican, and his wife, Hernsrdina
Tiierina, went to the ferryman and
tried to get HIM to put them across the
river, saying that they had no money
With them, but would pay at some fa-
ture time. Upon the fesfyman inform
ing them that bis orders were to credit
no one, Rafael said they would cross
tiff they had to swim it, and then,
taking eff his shoes, babe his wife to
do the same and follow bin into the
water. She told him that she could
not swim and would drown If she at
tempted to cross. He told her that
she must swim, and catching her by
the shoulders pushed her before him
into the water, when she, losing
foothold, began to sink. "Swim
hwimin exclaimed the villain. II can't
hWim. ehe replied. With that he drew
out large knife and plunged it to the
hilt into her left side, then into her
body under her right arm and finally
gave a slashing cut across the stomach.
The Rio GFande ran blood from where
the TWO stood scufliing in the water,
which was the first intimatioA those
on the bank had Of what was going
on. The ferryman and another Mex
lean leapcd into boat and pulling
out TO whore they were, seized and
fook them hack to the other side,
where the woman expired in few
minutes. They bound the man and
delivered him over to the Mexican
authorities. He was tried, convicted
and sentenced to serve term as q
regular in the Mexican army The
Tss5 Earci1s remarks that il criminals
OF the deepest dye are enrolled into
toe ranks Of the Mexican army, as
punishment for crimes committed, it Is
no wonder that their army is worth
less aud their government as unstable
as wktsr.

TTx Virginia City Chronicle has the
following in reference to the proposed
teachers examination In that place:
Superintendent Of Schools James
denies that he ordered the examination
Of teachers which was to take place on

pnned it. Tho examination was order
o by resolution OF tho Board of
School Trustees instructing tho Super
intendent to give publicity to the order.
Tho Board has postponed the exHminn-
ton. This news has caused great re-
joicing in tho ranks OF tho school
