Two things are noticeable about the at
tempted assassination, one of which has
been noticed-that the South is very hearty
in its sympathy with the victim and its
adherence of the miserable murderer.
The other is the general and hearty ex-
pressions of bishops, archbishops, and
Wears general to the same effect. We do
not bit believe in the non sense of some
vaporing Protestant privateersmen that
Catholic allegiance to Rome makes patriot
ism with them an impossible virtue. We
have not noticed any lack Of laudable love
of country among our Catholic fellOw-citi-

Cal Emory Lynched.

Information was received here last Friday from Dover, of an unsuccessful
 attempt that morning about o'clock
 to lynch Cal Emory, the murderer, who is confined ill jail at that place. The action of the governor in committing the death sentence of Emory to twenty one years in the penitentiary is geners ally condemed and the attempt above
 mentioned was not wholly unexpected
 here where the details Of the fearful crime with which he IS charged are so
 well known. The public, so far as our information extends, is of one opinion, and that unfavorable to the governor, for his utter disregard of the verdict of courts and juries as evidenced by his wholesale clemency to criminals or every class. Should this continue peo- pie will be forced, in self defence, to take the law into their own hands and such occurrences as was attempted at Dover last Friday night may be ex. pected to become frequent in all parts of the state.
 LATER.-Since the above was put in type the determined band of lynchers, after two intellectual attempts, made the third one and succeeded in their designs. On Monday night about I2 o'clock the jail was forced open and the guards overpowered. One of the lynchers attempted to descend into the cell where Emory was confined, but was beaten back by the prisoner who was rendered frantic with fright. Emory was then shot through the head and a fellow prisoner made to adjust moose about his neck by which he was drawn up through the aperture and taken from the jail and hanged to gallows. It is thought he was more dead than alive when hanged. The lynchers left the body hanging where it remained until the arrival of the coroner which was late Tuesday even ing. The lynchers were from Frank, lin county and came to avenge the death of the woman murdered by Emory.
