THE proceedings at Catlettsburg,
Kentucky, are sad commentary upon
our institutions.
A couple of years or so ago, prom
inent citizen Of Kentucky had law
suit in one Of the courts of the State,
and the Judge decided against him.
He went out and procured shotgun
and murdered the Judge. The MUIR
derer was tried pronounced to have
been insane when he committed the
murder, and was acquitted.
Two girls and a boy were murdered
at Ashland. The girls had been out
ragged. Dlligent search was made for
the murderers, but without success.
Finally, a man named Ellis made a
confession, and said that two men,
named Neal and Craft, did the deed,
and compelled him to take part They
We're arrested. At once the mob spir-
it was manifested. and the prisoners
were taken to Maysville for safety.
A bowling mob pursued the officers
and prisoners, on another boat. The
Legislature, in obedience to the de-
mands of the mob, passed an act for a
special term of Court, and the trial O.
is now in progress at Catlettsburg.
The prisoners were brought up from
Maysville guarded by the militia, and
the soldiers are still on guard.
We have grave doubts whether there
is word of truth in the story of Ell
lis; but it makes no difference. Ii the
prisoners are not hanged under the
forms Of law. a mob will hang them.
The people of Kentucky are not SO
much to blame. They know that if
the men are guilty, ten chances to

Thomas and demanded permit to cross the bridge

that the lady should want to ride ahead of the Union
troops, especially she had been riding for some
time within his lines.
The enemy being in full retreat could gain nothing
from any information the lady might be able to give
them, yet the General told her politely but firmly
that she could not She rode few PAGES away,
and in short time again asked permission to cross,
which was again denied her.

THE trial of Guiteau is drawing to
close, and next week we will probably
be able to give the result. Last week
Scoville spoke five days for the de-
fense, closing on Friday. On Satur-
day Guiteau was permitted to read to
the jury his blasphemous harangue.
1t consisted mainly of his assertion
that it was Deity who fired the cow
ardly shot into the back of President
Garfield, and that he, Guiteau, was
only His instrument.
Judge Porter was to commence the

The simple mention of the murders,
outrages and accidents in the United
States, would fill the STANDARD every
week. We believe the murders alone
amount to from three to five each day.
A short time ago the Cincinnati Ga
sette stated that very large proper
ton Of crime is caused by intoxicat-
ing liquors, when correspondent
wanted to know upon what facts this
statement was based. Another cor
respondent looked the matter up in
the criminal courts of Cincinnati, and
found that 81 per cent Of the crime
in the city is caused by strong drink.

one they would be acquitted, like the
murderer who killed the Judge, and
for self-protection they must take the
law into their own hands.
We still believe that mobs-or,
rather the people, make one mistake.
Let them give public notice that the
next Judge and jury that acquit a
murderer who is clearly guilty, must
swing upon the nearest tree. Then
we will not hear so much about emo.

THERE appears to be a disposition
in the Ohio Legislature to do some
thing upon the liquor question. The
city papers, that want the liquo,
curse encouraged, favor the Pond bill
This bill proposes to tax the saloon
keeper. If taxed, he would be licensed
1t would throw the business into the
hands Of the wealthy. and thus give
it respectability, and the cripple, and
the widow, who desire to do some
thing to keep out of the poor house
will have to quit.
Let US suggest few amendments
to the present laws. We have been a
careful observer Of the workings OF
the liquor laws ever since their pass
age, in the year 1854. The first de-
feet is the exception Of ale and beer,
where sold to be drunk at the place
where sold. More drunkenness has
been caused by beer during the past
ten years than was caused by whisky
in the preceding fifty years. Repeal
the ale and beer exception.
Make the liquor-seller responsible
when he sells to minors and drunk
ards, in all cases, throwing the guilty
knowledge upon him, at his peril.
