The Republican papers seem to
have tacit understanding that they
will say no harm of the Democratic
candidate for President; yet it is but
proper that the truth should be told.
The following, from the Washington
correspondent of the n. Y. Tribune,
If true, should be known by the peo-
pie:
The Northern Democratic newspapers of to-day
achevements during the rebellion. Not Word is
said, however about General Hancocks last active
military campaign-the only one too, in which he
ever had an opportunity as an independent command

incidents of that famous campaign:

teen miles distant On General Hancocks invitation
the chief and warriors to Fort Larned a
ference. General Hancock asked them where their
women and children were- and why they also had not
come in. He was told that among the women and
children many who had escaped from the Chiv-
ingtOn massacre at Sand Creek and they afraid
to the soldiers. General Hancock Insisted
that the and children should brought the
Fort. The warriors returned their village and,
taking their women and children, fed from the vi
cinity The village was then attacked by the troops
its only occupants being an old man and dcmented
girl who had been forgotten by the Indians in their
hasty fight. These two Indians murdered, but
not until after the girl had been assaulted. The viii
age burned, except about fifty of the finest epees
which reserved for officers of the expedition
IAN active campaign against the Indians was then
begun said General Tappan ut lasted until some
time in July, when General Hancock sent to Wash
ington for more men and money. He had spent about
$90000O0 and the lives of about three hundred sold
iers and settlers had been sacrificed. Congress decd
ed that $500. 900 for killing Indian much
and the Peace Commission was appointed.
| General Hancock was examined as witness before
the Commission early in August, and he made very
p1table exhibition of himself in trying to his
| blunders. The commission met the Cheyennes il
September and readily concluded treaty with them
General Hancock's campaign was unnecessary a
well as an expensive one and its management from
beginning to end reflected no credit upon the com
| mander.''

We merely mentioned last week that
three young men, or rather boys, had
been hung at Canton, Stark county,
on the Friday preceding. One was IL
years of age, one Is, and the other 49,
Two Of them were hung for the muir
der and robbery Of an old man, with
whom they were travelling. They got
acquainted with the old man out west,
and all were tramping east. The old
man had little money, and he very
literally paid their little expenses.
The boys concluded that they would
rob their companion, and when they
had got into Stark county, Ohio, they
struck him with a piece of iron, and
robbed him, getting only about five
dollars, and an old watch. The old
man recovered sufficiently to talk a
few words, and then died.
The other murder, committed by the
other boy, was equally as atrocious.
He, with another boy, were passing a
grocery, when the murderer broke in
and stole box Of cigars. The burg
lar desired his companion to swear a
lie, and thus clear him. This the boy
refused to do, and the criminal asked
him to take walk with him. When
he got him out he shot and killed him.
The arch fend, and devilish enemy
of the human race-tobacco, figured
prominently in leading these young
criminals to the gallows. One of them
had been a cigar maker, one Of them
was led to commit murder in conse-
quence of having stolen cigars, and al
Of them were engaged in smoking
while under the gallows, the morning
Of the day they were hung.
The great mistake made by the peo-
pie in this, and similar cases, was the
sympathy manifested for the crimi,
mails by the people Of the community
in which the crimes were committed
Men and women, and especially the
women, were lavish Of their attentions
to these young outlaws. One silly
girl, daughter of the Judge who sen
fenced them, must really have been il
love with one of the scoundrels. Sht
made great efforts to secure a commu
tation Of his sentence, and staid will
him until the last.
This kind of sympathy for great
criminals is a great mistake, and peo
pie Of sense should discourage it.
All praise to Gov. Foster for refus
ing to interfere in such cases.

SOME twelve to fifteen years ago,
Raysville had great notoriety in this,
and Vinton counties. Those were the
days when Samuel Pickens and VIII
liam Paul Anderson fourished.
On the first day of term of the
court, Pickens and Anderson were
promptly on hand, as usual, ready for
the fray. Laird, in his dry way, re-
marked to them: Il see that you are
ON hand, promptly, as usual. Now if
Judge Plyley were here, we could hold
court"
1t seems from the following, which
we find in the Chillicothe Advertiser,
that the same old spirit exists, to some
extent, in Raysvllle:

THE Portsmouth Blade copies our
article about the Congressional Con-
vention, and makes some comments,
in the course Of which it says:
Portsmouth. and not jackson, Gallipolis Ironton
is the proper place to hold the convention. Here
have the hall to hold the convention in and the hotel
to accommodate the delegates, which neither of
the other places mentioned have.
We have attended several conven-
tions in Portsmouth, which were held
in the Court House. Now, the Court
Room in our Court House is hund-
red per cent better room than that in
the Portsmouth Court House, and the
delegates can be well accommodated
in jackson. Let US have the Conven-
ton. Give us fair count.

MISS IDA PETTY was young wo-
man 19 years of age, and subject to
fits. She lived with Mrs. Paine, near
Hamden. Last Friday week she did
not leave her room in the morning,
and the family did not suspect any
thing the matter until near noon,
when forcing the door open she was
found lying on her face, dead. She
perhaps had a fit, and smothered to
death.

SOME two or three weeks ago there
was serious trouble at Leadville, Col
orado. The n. Y. Tribune, at the
time. had this to say about the trouble:

The news from Leadville recalls the days of the
Vigilance Committee in San Francisco. Yesterday
the quarrel of the strikers and the lawabding citi
zens assumed the proportions Of a miniature civil
AS special dispatches state, than 1000
citizens formed themselves into military companies
and business entirely suspended. There was one
collision between the strikers and the military, in
which the former fired shot. The cavalry did not
fire in return, but eYelng their carbneS at the crowd
drove them off the ground. There another rally
however and one George DAILY, who seems to be the
kearney of these evil spirits led the strikers. The
two parties armed to the teeth contented themselves
with watching each other for time Martial law has
since been declared. The immediate prOvOcation of
all this disturbance to have been attempt to
read proclamation guaranteeing safely to working
miners. The disgraceful proceedings of the strikers
will probably have effect upon which they have
not counted-that of drawing to Leadville men who
willing work at the paid and who will be-
have themselves into the bargain. No doubt many
such there already. But increase in their
number will add to the trouble the strikers have
brought upon themselves.

The village of Sharonville, in Pike
county, has been notorious for drunk
enness. The women went into one of
the doggeries and smashed tie con-
Germ. A drunk man named Milton
Pancake insulted and blackguarded
the women. Another drunk man,
named John French, took the women's S
part. A fight was the result, when
Pancake shot French, and he will
probably die.

passing through this place.

The Portsmouth Tribune gets con-
siderably out of the way, in an article
against Mr.. Neal, and says:

report is going aronnd that in 1867 Mr. Neal voted
in the Constitutional Convention against striking
word 'white'' from the Constitution, and wrote
member of Congress that he was giving altogether
that they already had all the rights they deserved
The colored vote holds the balance of power in this
district.
Now the fact is, the Constitutional
Convention did not meet until the
year 1878. If the Tribune had said
that this action of MI. Neal had taken
place in the Ohio Legislature, it would
have hit the mark.
Lawrence. county Republicans near
ly all scare to death as it were, when
there is talk Of giving the colored
man his rights. We believe that be-
tween the years 1866 and 1861, there
was a change in the vote from Repub-
lican to Democratic, in Lawrence
county, of about $500. The PROPOSE
ton to permit colored men to vote is
what wrought the change. MIR. Neal
was only representing his constituents
when he voted, and spoke, and wrote
against giving colored men their
rights.
