While the Republican papers of the

went up to his room and he asked me to
bring him pitcher of beer. His wife was
ironing. I brought the bear and Mr.. San
ford poured out glass full. He offered it
to his wife, but she refused. Then he
pressed her to take it, but she again de-
clined. At this John seated himself by
the window and asked his wife to come
and kiss him. His wife laughed at her
husband, which provoked him, and he
took from his pocket the pistol. I've
had enough of this he said, and point
it at her fired. She fell to the floor and
I ran out into the street."

- The Secretary of State, Mr. Evarts,
says that the Republicans ought to carry
three or four Southern States in 1880, for
the reason that " the best class of South.
erners are sick of Bourbon rule, and
would like to ally themselves with the
party of intelligence, property and intiu-
ence." We can assure the honorable
Secretary that he is deceiving himself as
we'll as his friends. There never will be
a break in the Southern line so long as
the bloody-shirt champions are unrebuk-
ed in the North. The party of "intelli-
gence, property and influence in the
South is the Democratic party, and, al
though there is some difference of opinion
as to the men who should represent the
party in Congress and in the State gov
ernments, there is none as to the infamy
of the ISLANDERS heaped upon the Southern
people by the recognized Republican
leaders of the North. The South re-
members to her sorrow and indignation
the carpet-bag and negro thieves that
were kept over her for many long years,
and having emancipated herself from the
rule of such unprincipied and Ignorant
rascals she will see to it that they are
never restored to power. On this you
may implicitly depend, Mr.. Secretary.

The bill introduced in the House of
Representatives to prohibit the collection
of money from the office-holders for
campaign purposes was defeated by Re
publican filibustering. No action could
be had on the measure. What the party
has been doing for many years it is still
doing-the Presidents civil-service order
to the contrary Notwithstanding. The
Washington correspondent of the New
York Journal of Commerce writes as
follows: "Agents of the Republican Cam
paign Committee are exacting unusually
large contributions from Government
clerks. Last Friday, pay day, these fel.
lows were on hand, and as officials and
clerks were paid off they were asked to
turn over liberal amount fer the Ohio
and Maine elections. In the Third Au-
ditor's Office of the Treasury Department
alone 500 were thus raised. All the
clerks of the Second Controllers office ex-
cept one responded, and that ones name
and political record was asked for and
noted. This sort of thing is going on
throughout the departments, The
bleeding, process is being applied with
extraordinary yigor and success"

The following account of the treatment
of colored child in New York City, will
give our colored people correct idea of
the manner in which the northern peo.
pie carry out their professions of friend
ship when the colored. people 60 among
them:
The cries of child apparently IN great
terror coming from slaughter house at
No. 407 East Forty-seventh street, early
last evening, attracted the attention OF
passers-by and caused crowd to collect.
Among those who heard the child's cries
was George Mcknight, twenty-four years
old, of Seventy-fourth street. As the
cries continued Mcknight leaped from
his cart and entered the slaughter house,
where he saw two brawny butchers
laughing at the terror of a little colored
boy whom they had hoisted up to the
ceiling with the windlass used in slaugh-
tering cattle. The hook with which the
butchers had secured the boy to the
MINDLESS was fast tearing his garments,
and the child was in danger of falling to
the ground. Mcknight demonstrated
with the colored boys tormentors, and
one of them, known in the vicinity as
"Terry," became angry at his interference
and ordered him to leave the place. On
the refusal of McKnightto 60 until the
boy had been released from his danger
GUS position, "Terry" seized heavy
oak stak, bound at the ends with iron
rings, and struck Mcknight blow on
the head with it that felled him insensi.
BILE to the ground. He then fed, and
the police had Mcknight removed to
Bellevue Hospital, where his injuries
were pronounced by the physicians to be
of serious nature.

New York can beat the world on mys-
terious and villainous murders. Close
upon the murder of Mrs. Hull comes one
of an aged gentleman which is given by
the Herald, from which we make the fol-
lowing synopsis:
The mystery surrounding the death Of
Mr.. John F. Seymour at about midnight
on July 8 has not been lightened in any
degree, although the police have actively
investigated the circumstances as far as
they have been able to do so. Concern
ing his death they are still in the dark,
and frankly admit that there is little
probability of their ever reaching solu-
ton of the mystery.
Mr.. Seymour was sixty-one years of age,
large and finely built, and weighing about
two hundred and twenty-five pounds. He
had been a crockery merchant, and was
at one time in very prosperous circum-
stances. Half dozen years ago he fail
ed, and has not since been engaged in
business, but with his wife has lived with
her brother, Bishop Seymour, the recent
ly elected Bishop of Illinois. On Thurs
day evening ne told his wife that he would
90 out to the grounds around the house
for walk, and accordingly passed out of
the house. A little while after Bishop
Seymour came in, and being told by his
sister that her husband was outside, he
left the door unbolted. Mrs. Seymour
fell asleep, but soon awakening she missed
her husband, and, arousing her brother,
they went in search of him. They found
him lying on the grass dead from bull
let wound.
The coroner's inquest rendered ver-
dict of accidental death from a pistol
shot, fired by person unknown. The
circumstances were puzzling and the jury
thought this the shortest way road out of
the case. 1t is, however, little strange
that no clue has been found as to who
fired the accidental shot. The occurrence
happened in New York, however, and
according to the Herald, Times and Ti-
bune's logic, this is sufficient guarantee
that it was in q thoroughly civilized
manner.

The United States Courts.

A Washington despatch of July 18th
gives the following in regard to the
effects of the new laws in relation to Ju
ries and Marshals:
To prevent delay in convening the
District Court of Charleston, S. c., the
Attorney General forwarded by telegraph
to the Judge of that district copy Of
the new law making provision for the
judicial expenses of the government and
prescribing the mode of drawing juries
The Jurors had been selected under the
provisions of the old law, but upon re-
ceipt of the new act they were dismissed
and a commissioner appointed under
the existing law to act in conjunction
with the Clerk of the Court in drawing
Jurors from new list. This Court will
be the first to proceed with business un-
der the new law.
The Attorney General has issued a
circular to the United States marshals
calling attention to the fact that the ju-
dicial bill for the fiscal year ending June
80, 1880, is apportioned into specific ap-
preparations and cannot be devoted to
other expenses under any circumstances.
Blanks for requisitions also accompany
the circular, and marshals are directed
to use money only for "fees of jurors,
"fees of witnesses" "for support of Uni
ted States prisoners" and miscellaneous
expenses" Marshals are especially di-
rected by the accompanying blanks to
observe "that the specific sum which is
advanced from one appropriation must
be expended for the purposes of such
appropriation alone;" and as each divis-
ion of expenses has its peculiar appro-
prialion the accounts of each appropria-
ton must be kept distinct and separate
from the accounts of other appropriations,
and further requiring them to keep their
books so that they will show how much
has been advanced to them from each
appropriation and how much is to its
daily credit.

LYNCH LAW.

The following report is given in the
Greenville papers Of Judge Aldrich's
remarks in his charge to the Grand Jury
upon the lynching of John J. Moore in
Spartanburg County;
I am not one to excuse Lynch taw,
nor will you. It is always dangerous
and generally wrong, for the people to
pass by temple of justice and tnfilct
summary punishment. But sometimes
human nature will, and must assert its
dignity and defend the virtue ard chasti-
ty Of woman. Outraged humanity will
not and cannot wait for the slow and un-
Certain process of the laws delay. it too
often happens, that 1y ingenious use of
the instrumentalities that hedge arouttd
the accused, he escapes the just punish
ment of his crime, 1t sometimes occurs
that ever, when juries are brought to the
point cf conviction, the appeal tribunals
on some technical quibble, not affecting
| the merits of the case in the slightest
degree, balk Justice and send the culprit
back for new trial. Hence, society be-
comes impatient, and now and then man
ifests this irnpatience by taking the law
in It's own hands. say, this Is always
! dangerous. It is nlanitestly wrong When
done it secret when the self-constituted
avengers of The law band themselves to-
gether in oath-bound societies and ad-
minister, what they call justice, but is
simple vengeance, not in the light of day,
but in the darkness of the night, conceal
ing their persons in frightful DISCUSSES
We had enough of that in the ku Klux
reign, condemned by good men every
where, and which, trust, will never be
enacted again in this State. "But when
Dishonor stalks to our. hearths, Law
ceases and Murder takes the Angel shape
of Justice.H And so it. was when Moore
paid the penalty Of his double crlme, rape
and murdef. Every father, husband and
brother was aroused to frenzy by the
brutal outrage on that poor, innocent
unprotected girl. Instantly, with nc
masks on their faces, but openly, in the
broad light of day, Gods sun shining ir
their eyes, these fathers, husbands and
brothers brought this cruel monster tc
the very spot where he had ravished her
and there, while her desecrated person
