TuURSDAY, MAY 8, 1879.
A NOTE.
Rewardtlay Crime.

Arkansas, and our neighbor says that y
We would stigmatize every Democrat c
and then it calls our attention to wha' 9
q calls a true statement published else !
where, in r,ferenc, to the case. we r
vould say that we have no desire to t
,,;srepresent facts, but We intend to
nnblish what we conceive to be the
truth about the matter whether 1t stg-
mat;ses all the Democrats or Republi-
oans either for that matter in the South.
The news of the murder for that is
what it s, was first published in the
"Christian Advocate" afterwards ~
the Philadelphia "Evening Bulletin
and rom thence we copiel it into the
REPUBLICAN. II it is 3 story, it is
none Of our making, but to satisfy the
"Gazette," We to-day publish the other
side Of the story which it says is the
true one, but while we do so, we would
ng,e,t that fairness would r.quier the
"Gazette" to publish the affair as found
reported in the "Chvistian Advocate
and az it is anxious to save Democrats
from stigma it will Of course do SO. We
would now ask careful reading of the
article elsewhere published, giving the
other side of this murder, and then III
there is an intelligent reader that can
not discover the attempt to deceive the
p1blic. We will say no more about it.
The coating is too thin even though
applied by wha. is called "Reverend"
and published in the methodist"
Our neighbor seems to have the
greatest objection to what it calls our
unfairness in charging the crime
against the Democrats. We dii not do
this; we only said tlat in all proha-
b,lity the murderer who shot the
preacher will turn up as a Democratic
Congressman some day as areward to'
his chivalry and bravery, and looking
at the way that such rufiians are re-
warded in the South, we still say that
We were justified in making such re-
mark and the " Every EVENING" and
"Gazette," and such like papers that
have always Alade it a special poin' I,
suppress the truth about certain G.; g.
Of murderers il the South, may call j
waving the blocdy shjr;," or by
whatever other name they'pt-aEe.
In proof Of the position We have as
sImed, We have only to point out two
three cases where Southern rutfiaI.
aui DULLES have cen rewarded with
otfi:p. The most notable case, and one
which the " Gazette " never refers TO-
is that OF the murderer of the Chisholm
family, in kemper County, Mississippi
Tnis man who went by the suggestive
name Of Gully, killed Judge Chisholm
after he had been put in confn, men
in the County jail, killed his beautifu
daughter tho few to her fathers res
cue, and then assassnated the little
boy who wanted to save his fathers life
The story is long and blo"dy one
which thu people Of Wilmington ne, el
saw published in the Democratic pa
il, ~ NJ har vn1; t;o,J l.
scripts that fraudulently uses the nam
OF " Ini-p-ndsnt," as acoating for GOV
.rirfg up the most intense Demo craft
partisan views.
Such news was all carefully SUI
pressed and the only reference to tn
affair by such papers was simply to sa
that the thing was all "Republica
lie," as the Gazette now denominate
oar report Of the mlId.r of the Metht
dist minister. In proof of what "
have said about the Chisholm famil
assassination the widow of the murder
ed Judge still lives and is a clerk in on
Of the Dtpitments at Washington
broken hearted GA account Of the mul
der of husband, a daughter and a so
all within Il few minutes. The rinl
leader who with his own hand ASSASSIN
ated the judge, was aft wards electe
by the Democrats, Sheriff of Kemp
county, ard for aught we know sti
holds that office. No efor; was ever mac
to have him brought to hiaI, thoue
Governor Stone who at the time of Il
assassination was appealed to, in Il
nam" of huma> ity md outraged JUST
to try to at Least h -" the forms of la
gole tuo ugh wit !. Tn- ilnbecile Go
ern0r paid no att 'ntion to III" appe;
and the Democrats sine unanimous
reelected him Governor, up'n the saI
principle of rev rIin- crime, need it
thought strange that Gully the ASA
sin may yet turn up in congress AZ
