THE KENTUCKY HORROR.
Bloody Engagement Bet,oeca Mob
and the State Military.
Killed and Wounded.

SAAUo 4seD O<AAoo CIV LAolietilNi, IN y
and vicinity since the brutal muir
der Of the Gibbons children by
Ellis, Neal and Craft, eliminated
last Wednesday in fatal collision
between a determined mob of the
citizens and the State military, in
which some five or six citizens
were killed and fatally wounded,
and some twenty-five or thirty
wounded more or less severely.
1t will be remembered that Ellis
was first tried for the murder and
sentenced to the penitentiary,
whereupon the mob took him from
Jail and hung him. ~
Craft and Neal were duly tried
and sentenced to Death, and upon
an appeal the Court below was re-
versed and new trial granted
and their cases coming on for trial
at Catlettsburg, a change of venue
was allowed to Carter county by
Judge Brown.
The authorities fearing the mob,
called on Governor Blackburn for
aid in protecting the prisoners,
and several companies were sent to
conduct them away in safety.
What followed is told in brief by
Major Allen, commanding the
troops, in his report to the Govern
or, which we give below. 1t is
proper to state that the Cincinna-
ii Dailies are full of contradictory
report. as to where the blame lies
for the sad loss of life, some insisting
that the provocation on the part of
the mob was not such as to warrant
the fatal firing by the soldiers, and
others claiming that only such
force was used as was necessary to
repel the persistent mob.
The report gives the main facts
in connection with the lamentable
affair, but must be taken as his
side of the story. The fact that
most of the killed and wounded
were in the crowd on the bank
gives color to the charge that the
sellers did either some very wild
or reckless shooting.
MAJOR ALIENS REPORT.
To Governor L. p. Blackburn.
At twelve o'clock, November 1,
our command marched to the river
front at Catlettsburg. to await the
arrival of the boat to carry US home.
We marched the prisoners, Neal
and Craft, with two companies as
guards, into the wharf boat, and
left the remaining companies at
the top of the hill, to repulse an
attack which we anticipated from
the Ashland mob A few minutes
after we took our position train
of cars consisting of one locomotive,
one passenger and five fiat cars
closely packed with a mob from
Ashland, KY, arrived a delegation
from the mob waited on me, and
demanded the. prisoners Neal and
Craft, threatening that if we did
not surrender them peaceably they
would use force. Their demand
was peremptorily refused. They
then informed US that they would
attack us as our boat passed Ash
land with force Of at least two
thousand men, supported by a
ferry-boat with a battery of four
pieces Of artillery. We then with
drew to our boat the Granite State,
and started up the river. The
mob at the same time took their
train and headed toward Ashland.
The train ran along the river bank
about mile at the same speed as
our boat, and just before leaving
the river opened fire on US. A
great number of the mob fired on US,

Mrs. Serey wounded severely in
the breast; recovery doubtful.
In our reports last night we were
in error as regards the death Of
Mcdonald, but he is shot through
and through with four bullets, one
being in the abdomen, and no hope
is entertained for his recovery.
Col. Reppert was shot through
the heart and never spoke.
George Keener received a ball
directly in the eye, penetrating
the brain and causing instant
death.
The coroners jury will view the
bodies tomorrow and render their
verdict.
Col. Reppert's and George Keen
er's funeral services will take place
at 10 o'clock, tomorrow morning,at
the Presbyterian Church. George
Keener leaves young wife and
one child. Col. Reppert leaves an
aged widow.
Sorrow is constantly being ex-
pressed that so many innocent peo-
pie have been killed and wounded
by the foolish action of few, who
seemed to escape only by miracle.
We noticed that in the impress
sive funeral services as announced
above, Rev. T. S. Wade, for
merly pastor in our city, and Rev.
S. E. Steele, also from West Vir-
ginia, took prominent part.
The papers give sad picture of
the gloom the sad affair has cast
over the entire community.

but our troops, with great coolness
and self restraint did not return
the fire, although the bullets of
the mob struck in the water all
about the boat. AS we got nearly
opposite Ashland ferryboat,
closely packed with armed men,
left the shore and headed toward
us. They hailed US, and signaled
for us to stop. AS we paid no at
tention to their signals they COM
menced firing on us with rapidity.
After they had fred two or three
volleys and had wounded two or
three of our men, the order was
given for our troops to fire, which
they did, and a very spirited en-
gagement ensued, in which the mob
was badly crippled. Though our
cannon was on deck, and finely
handled by Lieutenant Blygh and
his men, / did not deem it necessa-
ry to fire it, as our infantry was
sufficient ito lrepulse the attack.
We had five men wounded or hurt
in the engagement, but none Sc
riously. The troops acted with
admirable bravity, GOODNESS and
self-possessien. JOHN r. ALLEN.

An OutspOlSen Bourbon.

Senator BRowNs speech in the Senate
yesterday very correctly represents the views
of ninety mine per cent. of the bourbons of
the nation on civil-service reform. He is
"agin" any measure for tho reform and
publication of the civil service that does not
contemplate the removal of 100000 Repub-
lican office holders and the appointment
of 100, 900 raw democrats to take their places
the moment the key to the white house
is turned over to the keeping of the bOurbons.
Reform that does not admit of a clean sweep
describable grief to think that the Republi-
cans have held the offices for vast twenty
two years, and his appetite is ravenous now
that he is, as he thinks, in sight
OF the green pastures, So long as they had
no estate to administer upon the bourbons, of
whom Senator BROWN is a glorious specimen,
were perfectly willing to be honest and fair
and truly good. Now that they have con-
tingent INTEREST," in prospective dividends they
forget all about past professions, and declare,
or at least Senator BROWN declares and he is
their MOSES, that it will be time enough
to prate about reforming the civil service
of the government when democrats shall
have been in power twenty-five years.
The system whic h has been denounced
by democrats Of every grade and degree for a
generation as corrupt and rotten to the core
under republican rule will be purity itself in
democratic hands for twenty-five years.
Then will there be time enough for the work
of publication to begin. Reform that does
not carry with it one hundred thousand
federal offices for instant distribution among
one hundred thousand democratic strikers,
big and little, fails to meet the appreciation of
the sham bourbon reformers who are kept so
busily employed searching for dirt on their
neighbor's front-door step that they have no
time to clean the accumulated mud Of CEN
tury from their own domi ell.
The hollowness and iasincerity of demo-
cratic stock civil-sorvice reform professions
has seldom been more thoroughly exposed
than in the speech of the senator from Georgia.
Ia the language of the street, he gives him
self away" and in the gratuitous contribution
of his purse he "gives his party away" Any
attempt from the democrats to soften the i'm
prudent uttcranccs of the distinguished
Georgian will be merely confirmation of the
mockcry, and will satisfy the people of the
shallowness of the sham party they are asked
| to elevate to power.
National Republican., 1882-12-15

got little way and waited for the wagon.
Word was sent to HALLEcK Of the utter dcs-
tiution Of tho army in respect TO baggage
wagons, and though he sent back word that
there were some at Alexandria-poor credu-
lous old man-and that some one had seen
them, MAC stuck TO it they were missing, and
FRANKLIN was without transportation.
While things were in this condition of
positive inertia before the town of Alexandria,
through the want of the baggagc-wagon, there
was another general few miles further down
under instructions to move, and as eager as
MCCLELLAN to move, but unable in conse-
quence of too much baggage-wagon. in his
case the crop Of wagon was largely in excess
Tho road was full. There was wagon to the
right of 'em, wagon to the left of 'em, and
wagons down the middle-nothing but wagons,
and the road was blocked. You couldn't go
by them nor around them, nor move them out
of the way. They were obstinate wagons,
they were impenetrable wagons, un-
accountable in number, mysterious in
build and whether going toward Gen.
Pore or going the other way, whether they
were very near the inactive wing Of the army
or remote, they were equally an obstruction,
and ingenuity could not get them out of the
way. Their strange disappearance from the
rear of MCCLELLAN to the vicinity of PORE
has never been accounted for, whether they
were going toward him or from him when
seen and what finally became of them are
conundrums no man has been found com
petent to answer. They could not have been
captured by the enemy, for the enemy never
had force enough to rope in so many, and if
they had, and the wagons were loaded all the
reports of scarcity of provisions in the con-
fcderacy after August, 1862, must have been
without foundation, and due to, the unfortu-
nate habit Of JEFF. DAVIS to steer obliquely
in reporting the condition Of his people.
Gen. POPE has been accused of great fer
tility of invention but we remember no case
in which he reported any matter at all COM
parable to this marvellous history of the
wagon. 1t greatly impressed the fighting
general. He seemed to rely as confidently
upon it as an excuse for not moving as he did
upon the fact that LoNGsTREET, with $4,000
picked men, was in his path. There have
been many generals who have quailcd before
$4,000 men, but we do not remember one
prior to this time who was paralyzed
by baggage-wagons, and surely no dis
tinguished fighter ever before alleged the
dangers of baggage as an excuse for dis
obedience, when he could plead with much
more telling effect that if he moved the enemy
might hit him. II is true that men like Ma
POLEoN and SHERIDAN do not like to assume
as foregone conclusion, that if they move to-
ward the enemy they will certainly be
whipped, and in this case, at the time the
affair was fresh, the certificate of the confod-
crate general that he would have eaten the
union commander had he vcntured to move
would not have been accounted very valuable
testimony by such men as EDWIN NJ STAN
TOM but no secretary could put down the
baggage-wagon when it was clearly shown
that one general could not move without it,
and another could not because of it.
