Mrs. M. E. Gilmer, whose husband was
murdered by Democratic mob in Missis-
sippi some two years ago for being a Re-
publican, has been paying q visit to our
worthy townsman, David 0laypoole, Esq.
| Mrs. Gilmer holds position in the War De-
partment, but Secretary McCrary granted
her leave of absence for thirty days in
order that she might visit friends in Cedar
vile and have her husbands body inferred
there. She has selected lot in the Old
Stone Church graveyard in which she in
tends burying her dead during the coming
Fall. Mrs. Gilmer is an amiable lady, and
much in need of the sympathies of the peo-
pie. Her sufferings have indeed been great,
and the story that she tells of the wrongs
perpetrated by the Southern mob on her
family and the family of Judge Chisholm
merely because they were Republicans, is
| terrible in the extreme. Such wrongs de-
mand speedy retributiop, and it is one of
the crying evils of the time that the General
| Government does not interfere in this mat
ter and bring the guilty parties to Justice
If the State Of Mississippi is so lost to
sense of Justice as to allow red-handed
murderers to stalk through her borders
merely because they are Democrats and the
victims Republicans, then the Armies OF the
Union should be set in motion. The damna-
BILE doctrine of State Rights should not be
allowed to come between the innocent and
the guilty. Mr. Claypoole who has been
kindly entertaining Mrs. Gilmer at his resi-
OcuCc, IlhO DLO oSN, PesoAAOoiSt
gentleman that he is, has sought in every
possible way to assist the lady in her efforts
to bring the remains of her husband to a
final resting place in the North.
