A HORRIBLE tragedy, born of religious
frenzy, was committed by c. ii. Freeman at
Pocassett, Mass, the other day. Actuated
by what he termed command from the
Lord, he plunged knife into young child
of his and offered her as a sacrifice. He
labored under the impression that the child
would rise again after three days. Freeman
and his wife are Second Adventists, and are
apparently completely deluded in religious
views. They are both in Jail and have been
charged with child murder. Freeman was
born in Highgate, Vt. He is said to have
the utmost confidence that the Lord will
justly him in his horrible deed. 1t is not
remarkable, however, that Mr.. Freeman
should have gone crazy over intense, long
continued and feverish religious excitement
Other, better and stronger men have made
mental shipwreck in the same way before
now. What is remarkable about the case is
that Mrs. Freeman thinks the bloody deed
was all right, and that band of his core
ligionists met at his house after the terrible
act was committed and, instead Of turning
the murderer over to the officers of the law
tried to hush up the affair. Admitting tha
Freeman and his wife are both as crazy a
raving lunatics, it is strange that the who'll
set should 60 mad at the same time over thu
same question. 1t is also strange, passing
strange, that the lunatic was permitted t,
drive every one from the house and arm
himself for more victims if any one dared ap
proach him. The authorities have arrested
several persons as accessories to this murder

Premature.

Many of our leading public journals are
as warmly engaged IN discussing the next
presidential election as if the question must
be decided within a month or two. 1t is
surprising that they are so eager to precipi
tate this necessarily distracting question
upon the country whole year before the
necessity arises. They do what they can to
keep the country in constant stir about
the "next presidency" They would make
the presidential canvass perpetual. Our pres
idential elections come quite often enough
too often in fact 1t would be much better
If those who do so much to make the excite
ment attending them continual disturb
ance would use their influence TO make the
interval of peace and quiet as long as posi-
BILE. It will be soon enough, a year hence,
to begin warm and eager discussion of
proposed candidates. Those who cannot
discuss any other topic, at the present time,
would do well to pass the next twelve months
in sleep, if possible. Their premature dis
cussion of candidates for the next presidency
can do no good, and it may do great deal
of mischief. 1t would be much wiser to
abstain from this discussion, watch the
movements of politics, and wait for the
proper time to begin canvass of candidates
for nomination. That time will come soon
enough; those engaged in mischievous at
tempts to hasten it can learn something by
waiting, and, meanwhile, save themselves
from embarrassing the question which must
necessarily be discussed next year.

And Still They Go.

Eastern gentlemen just returned from New
Orleans say that the continued emigration
of the blacks is causing great excitement in
the Gulf states and that new schemes are
on foot to check it by force. This method
of dealing with the difficulty will, of course,
increase the outflow instead of abating it.
The experience of Louisiana and Misss-
sippi already on that phase of the question
ought to lead to its prompt discontinuance.
The more bull-dozing there is on the planta-
tions now, the more certain will be the emf
grafton. 1t is too late to coerce the black
man into obeying the commands of the old
task-masters. The negroes will continue to
seek new homes in spite of threats and in
Limitations. Some have got taste of the
free air of the great West and more will
hunger and thirst until they enjoy the lux
ury. Moreover, the kindly sympathy which
is shown towards them all through the
North must urge them on. This manifesto
ton of good will and substantial aid must
be a very agreeable surprise to the emf
anus. lucy bOuit NV nave Ca PNNbOt
such thing, and all that is best in them will
be aroused to make fitting response to these
tokens. The dread of failure and the re-
gard for their kinsmen left behind will also
greatly tend to spur them up to their best
work.
In the meantime the great and important
field broadens in all directions. At first it
was thought the exodus was a purely local
affair, confined to few colored laborers liv-
ing near the steamboat landing along the
lower Mississippi. Now it is known to
have been suggested years ago as the best
solution of the mixed problem in the South.
1t also turns out that settlements Of blacks
on small scale in Kansas have been going
on for some time with encouraging success.
A large convention of these blacks in New
Orleans has voted unanimously to press for.
ward the emigration. One of the speakers
stated that the movement had now attained
such Roadway that it could not be stayed
until the decreased population in the South
and the consequent decreased representa-
ton in Congress would cost the democracy
its whole majority in that body. The lead
ing paper of the negroes in New Orleans
says the exodus began by the excessive renta
of lands-by merciless grinding from land
owners, by which the blacks did all the worl
and the whites got all the benefit.
The convention in Vicksburg this weel
will be watched with considerable interest
as it is expected to be very large and rep
resentative gathering. An attempt will b.
made at this meeting to convince the ne
sroAs that they are better off where they are
and that further emigration would be haz
ardous; but what the outcome of the meet
ing will be remains to be developed.

What Next2

After the unanswerable veto message Of
President Hayes the universal query is, what
next2 The democrats cannot of course ez-
pect the bill to pass in its present form over
the Presidents head. Nor with all their in
genuity can they so amend 1t as to obviate
his fundamental objections. They must
either drop their political legislation, and
pass the bill without it, or they must adopt
some temporary device which shall hold the
question open or they must refuse the APP
preparations altogether. II they back down
and pass the bill without their scheme, they
confess the folly and crime of their effort,
and proclaim that the only safety of the
country was their lack of complete power.
If they refuse to pass the bill, but continue
the current appropriations till January by
resolution, they simply throw the question
over TO the next session, keep the issue
open, and declare that they do not abandon
their purpose. If they adjourn without pro-
viding supplies at ALL they carry their at
tempted revolution to its extreme. With all
their desperate purpose, they dare not face
the popular storm which such mon
strous course would call down upon their
heads. There is no help for them-they must
suffer the humiliation and scorn of retreat.

NihiIism In Russia.

The spread Of the socialistic society called
nihilists--or nothingists-in Russia has as
sumed such alarming proportions as to
threaten the very existence of the present
government, and to render insecure the lives
of the more prominent government officials.
The recent attempts upon the life of the
Gar have been supplemented by printed
notices posted through the principal cities
of the kingdom, warning government Of
ficers that their life was in danger, and that
they would be assassinated unless they de-
sisted from their present despotic course
against the people. For number of years
the most arbitrary measures have been pur-
sued toward the liberal element of the Rus
sian population by the government. Thou
sands upon thousands Of subjects have been
immured in dungeons or banished to the
inhospitable wastes of Siberia, without even
the form or semblance Of trial, upon the
barest suspicion that they were unfriendly
to the ruling power. So severe and inhu-
man has been the treatment of this class of
citizens that we wonder little that they have
organized and propose milder form of gov
eminent, or government where some of
the rights Of the citizen will be respected.
Russian citizens expatriated from their
home for such fancied offenses and scattered
throughout the world are now busily organ
izing To return to their native country and
take an active hand in recognizing the
government upon basis more liberal in its
provisions. What the outcome of this
movement will be can only be conjectured
but we trust it will end in amelioratng the
wretched condition of the vast number Of
Russians who have fallen under the ban Of
the government, and protect the right o.
free thought and free speech throughout thu
realm.

THAT TEST SUIT.-The suit arranged be-
tween Mr.. Chittenden and General Butler to
test the validity of the reissue of United
States legal tender notes in time of peace
has been initiated. The plaintiff is Angus
tus ID. Julliard of New York and the de-
PENDANT Thomas S. Greenman of Connect
cut, and the suit is brought in the United
States Circuit Court for the southern dis.
trict of this state. The cause of action is
to recover the sum of $500, balance due on
the purchase of one hundred bales of cotton
The defense admits the purchase and alleges
the tender of the amount in greenbacks OF
the issue Of last year, which the plaintiff de
clined to receive. The preliminary paper:
have been served, and the case will probably
come on for trial within a month. What
ever the decision of Judge Biatchford, al
appeal will be taken to the Supreme Court
General Butler will be one of the attorney,
for the defendant, and Senator Edmund,
will aid William Allen Butler in conducting
the case for the plaintiff, and arguing agains
the right to issue legal tenders in time o
peace. The progress Of the case will b,
watched with general interest. al banl

CmcAGos PERIL.-The Protestant ele-
ment in Chicago seems to be thoroughly
united in new movement toward enforcing
an observance of sunday, and an equally
strong opposition is manifesting itself The
latter has the advantage, because there are
no laws on the subject, and legislation would
be necessary in order to stop Sunday bust
ness and pleasure. The theatres are always
open on Sunday evening, except McVicker's,
and he has announced that he will follow
the custom next season. There is no
hindrance TO the sale of liquors, and many
kinds of stores are open every day in the
week. Six years ago the question of Sun.
day closing was made the issue in a city
election, and the affirmative candidates were
buried under large majority. Since then
the politicians have kept on the safe side.

LEGAL LIABILITY.-A man cut his hand
with the glass of broken window on a
Massachusetts, railroad train, and had the
wound dressed by physician at the next
station. The injury deprived him perma-
nently of the use of his arm, through i'm
proper treatment as he claims. The weight
of the expert testimony was that, although
great skill would have effected cure, the
country doctor did all that he knew how to
do. The judge told the jury that "a ply
stefan is responsible for that reasonable de-
gree of care, diligence and skill which are
properly expected from all persons employed
to render skilled service, but is not respon-
sible for failure, unless failure clearly pro-
ceeds from want of such care and skill"
lie also held that a physician in a small
town cannot reasonably be expected to pos
sess the skill of city surgeon. The verdict
was for the defendant

Our AT LAsT.-The Memphis (Tenn.)
Avalanche, though democratic paper. has
sense and courage enough to give the true
reasons for the negro exodus in the following
paragraph; "The incendiary teaching of
the Bourbon press and politicians have
furnished in great part the material now
feeding the emigration movement that so
alarms the planters of the Mississippi Valley.
These presses and politicians have taught
only bitterness. They marked for social
prescription all who refused to submit with
out question to their partisan guidance
This became the partisan creed. The brunt
of their denunciation fell on the colored
people. The lawless classes were but toe
ready to begin the dastardy work of prose
cution. They found it certain means OF
suppressing the ballot They inaugurated
reigns of terror, shot and killed where shoot
ing became necessary, and so preyed on the
fears of the unprotected blacks as TO practi
cally disfranchise them in every locality
where the bull-dozing programme was
adopted. And the Bourbon presses and
publications, instead of demanding protec
ton for all classes under the laws, pro
nounced all charges falsehoods, and at leas
indirectly encouraged the dastards to furthe
deeds of violence. This is the truth, anC
the truth should be told"

A BOLD but unsuccessful attempt was made on
the 3Oth ult., to rob the Workingmens Savings
Bank at Allegheny, Penn. The book-keeper had
gone to dinner, leaving the cashier, George l..
Walter, alone, Two men entered the bank, and
one, advancing TO near the counter, asked silver
for a dollar bill, and when the cashier advanced
with the change he was confronted with cooked
revolver and told to make no noise or he would be
shot. Dropping the silver, Walter seized the re-
volyer, and succeeded in wrenching 1t from his
assailant, who then clambered up and got inside,
and was reaching for the money on the counter,
when Walter opened fire on him, firing two shots
at him and also two at the other robber, who in
the meantime had climbed over the front counter
and was advancing To the rear OF the room. The
strangers, dismayed by their reception, turned
toward the door and fled, and have not yet
been arrested. They carried OIL about 81, 600.
