Brutal outrage 10 a Boy.

HARTwELL, O., September 13.-The deni-
zens of this place are much incensed over
an outrage committed by a man named
Zerbe, who in a fit of passion, on Friday last,
perpetrated an act that came near resulting
in the death of little boy. The tarring and
feathering of Zerbe was seriously talked OF,
and the excitement in the community has
not yet subsidized. Mr.. J. Burgess, who is a
government storekeeper, and resides at Ma
plewood, has little son about seven years
old. The lad has been a playmate of a son
of the man Zerbe. On Friday last the two
boys were playing together, and during the
afternoon they found their way into Zerbe's
carriagehouse, where they discovered a
pot OF mixed paint 1t occurred to
the youngsters that it would be
grand sport to paint something, and
one,of the wheels of Zerbe's buggy was soon
pretty thoroughly smeared. The wheel was
covered with a cost OF an entirely different
color from that OF the other three. When
Mr.. Zerbe became aware of the transforma-
ton, he flew into terrible rage and pro-
ceeded to mete out such punishment, as, in
his opinion, was commensurate with the
enormity of the offense. Catching the little
Burgess boy, he stripped him of his clothing
and painted him from head to foot with the
same mixture thai had been used in daubing
the buggy wheel. The poor bsy's hair was fill
ed with the stuff, and his body completely COW
cred with it. The paint closed up the pores
of the skin and came near killing the
lad before he reached home, and it
was removed with great difficulty. The
shock to the boys nervous system was
nearly fatal, and the danger line has not yet
| been passed. Mr.. Burgess, the father of the
painted boy, went over TO Mr.. Zsrbe's with
the righteous intention OF whipping him Tor
the outrage. Unfortunately he depended
upon his fists for weapons, and, being a small
M an, and Zerbe big fellow, Mr.. Burgess got
much the worst of the encounter. Sunday
night an effort was made to organize a crowd
to tar and feather Zerbe, but the matter was
! postponed in order TO give Mr.. Burgess a
| further opportunity of meeting Zerbe on
more equal terms.

After Mr.. Emerson had on one occasion
delivered literary address from a pulpit, a
clergyman was asked to make prayer, and
in the prayer came these words: "We be-
seech Thee, o Lord, TO deliver us from hear

az we have Just listened to from this sacred
desk" And Mr.. Emerson simply remarked,
upon learning his name, that "he seemed q
very conscientious, plain-spoken man."

understood, with the handsome residence
upon it, cost Governor Sprsgue S25O,OOO. AT
the recent sale it wss bough BY Mr.. Francis
Moulton-who, it will be remembered, was
the principal witness in the Tilton- Beecher
irial-for 100000. Knowing that the sale
was to take place, the course 10 be pursued sp-
pears to have been N srked out by General But
Ter, as the counsel of Governor Sprague, Mr..
Moulton acting as the friend OF both. Alter
the sale was made, Mr.. Chsfee found that
owing to the guards stationed at the gates
and the armed position OF Governor
Sprague at the door OF the mansion,
he could not deliver the property to
the purchaser. There wss, however,
an uninclosed strip of beach to
which Mr.. Chaffeee took Mr.. Moulton and
rendered As establishing delivery. This
Moulton refused TO recognize, and suit has
since been brought by Chsffee to force Moul-
ton to comply with his contract. Aoulton,
in reply, expresses his readiness to do so II
Chaffee makes good his title. The stu stion,
therefore, is this: All other means OF testing
the validity of the trust deed having appar-
emily been diseipated, because the statute OF
limitations debarred the creditors of the
estate from suing the trustees, Mr. Moulton
and Governor Sprague, by the advice OF Gen.
eral Butler, have played a shrewd game, and
have got the trustee in a position where he
must defend his title and prove that he has
the right to dispose of the trust estate.

Du.y INSTRUMENTATION.

The New York Star (Dem.) says the
scheme to sell Thousands Of Land League
votes to Cameron, in Pennsylvania, has now
been 90 thoroughly exposed that il mus,
stand among the monumental rzscslities OF
that corrupt and unscrUpulous dynasty. 1t il
not strange that, in 1000, 600 or 5000, 900
of Irish-Americans, there should be few I'M
mitigated scamps, who would sacrifice the
party that has been their protection and de-
tense, and even the country that has well
coined and adopted them, for their own per-
sonal profit Judas belonged to big tribe
and Edward 0Meagher Condor has all its
scurvy fruits. An Irish American scslawag
il no worse than any other. But every honest
Irish-Americzn, every honorable Land Leas-
uer ought TO denounce this and all similar
efforts, wherever they may originate, to sell
Irish or Land League votes 10 any party for
any confederation. The one thing sacred az
a mau's own honor Is his vote Aud no
American citizen with true national spirit
in him, and the proper dignity Of man
would think Of selling his vote any sooner
than of selling the honor of his vile. The
Pennsylvania conspiracy is a crime against
the good name, the loyalty, the honor Of all
Irish-Americans. This base attempt to sell
their votes in lump, like so much mer.
chandise, treating them like cattle on the
hoof, demands rebuke.

Colonel w. NJ. Coleman, was joined in wed

say that the affair was managed in regula-

wss a happy one, and more than ample
Justice was done to the excellent and bountl-

true Southern hospitality which none know

THE STAR-ROUTERS
Still ON the Ragged Edge-Argument on
the Motion for a New Trial for
the Convicted Thieves.
RumOrs that Attorney-General Brewster
is TO be Observation-Disclosures
Last Lie.

WAsHIsGToS, September 13.-The Crimi-
nal Court met this morning, Judge Wylie
presiding, for the purpose of hearing argu-
ments on the motions entered on Monday
last for an arrest of judgment In regard 10
Miner and Rerdell and to increase the
bonds of the defendants az to whom the jury
failed 10 agree. Brady, Vale and j. w.
Dorsey were present, and as soon as the
court was.called to order, Rerdell and Miner
entered, escorted By two sheriff. The Court
said the matter of bonds would be taken up
first He held that the subsisting bonds
would continue in force as far ss the defend
ants ss to whom the jury failed to agree were
concerned, and in this view Merrick con-
CURED. Merrick, however, insisted that
Vaile's bond should be increased, and the
Court increased il from $1,000 to $4,000, l..
P. Willismson, of Independence, Mo-, be-
coming surety.
As 10 the question of setting aside the YER
dict, Henkle argued that the verdict was in
consistent with the scheme of the indictment.
The Court told the jury this was case
of conspiracy against several persons, and
that it was necessary TO ind a verdict
against two at least. They have found two
guilty, and acquitted one (Turner), who was
not really prosecuted, and one who was dead
and not tried, and have not been able to
agree as TO the others. II is one OF the mys-
teries of the jury-room the course which the
Jury travelled in reaching the verdict which
they did render, but still 1t was a verdict
which the jury had the power to render I'M
der the instructions OF the Court. Though In
this conspiracy there were some more promi-
nent than others, who may be called tools,
acting under the command of their leaders,
yet all are members of the conspiracy,
whether acting superior or inferior part, il
found guilty by the jury, are equally liable
AS to the superintendent of punishment, the
Court, of course, will use its discretion, and
may make difference between the leaders
and the led.
Henkle-Your honor said it takes two 10
make conspiracy, but your honor said dur
ing the progress of the trial that Brady was
the key 10 the conspiracy, ne was at the
head of the arch.
The Court-Did not agree that Brady was
an essential part OF the conspiracy, but
thought the verdict was consistent with the
theory of the Indictment. He would be glad
however, to have Henkle present at some
future time, with argument in support OF his
motion 10 set aside the verdict, and to sup.
port his argument by sfidavis.
Henkle proposed to do SO, and then pro
coed to argue that until the motion fer new
trial was disposed OF, the convicted defend
ants should be released on bail.
At the conclusion of Henkle's argument
the Court decided to take up the motion fol
new trial Friday. When this motion il
disposed of, the Court will consider the ques
ton OF releasing the prisoners on bail.

THE LAND-LEAGUE SELL.
The Proof OF Edward O'MesSher Con-
dOn's Attempt TO Sell the
Votes OF
Thirty Thousand Land Leaguers 10 Boss
Commemorative am Irish Paper I'm
New:YOrk Says About Ii.

The attempt of Edward OMeagher Con
| don to sell out 10000 Land League vote
continues to be the theme in Pennsylvanis
Papers Of all grades of political faith con
denim il.
The Philsdelphia Press (Rep.) says that
| the trade is said to have been made by De
laney with Edward O'Meagher Condor, who
| claims to control the Land League and who
holds place in the Treasury Department
The alleged confederation was the recall o.
| Minister Lowell, which was to give Condor 4
lever with the Irish voters, and good round
cash cum, which was the lever with Condor
himself. 1t il asserted that Delaney and Con
| don held an interview with Senator Cameron
| at which the details were arranged. These
allegations are declared TO rest on sworn re
ports from parties to whom the information
was communicated, though the names of the
| iuformants and the sworn statements are
| withheld. Subsequently, on the application
| of Mr.. Cameron, Condor was detailed fol
"duty" in Pennsylvania.
The letters of Delaney, which constitute
the second chapter of the case, do not recite
| the transaction, but they contain allnsieDs
which furnish strong confirmation. Delaney
writes that Cameron had Condor rent here;
that "Condon will have dollars aud cents "a
| the paramount interest,"" that the charge
| that 1--WE were bargaining for the Land
League vote"-cousideration, money and
Lowells withdrawal-"was bringing il pretty
close" So far as Delaney is concerned, the
Indictment is sustained. His own letters
convict him. So far as his associates are
concerned, strong presumption is estab-
lished. Unless Delaney has clear and
satisfactory explanation, which puts differ
emit construction on his words than their
obvious meaning, he must stand condemned
And If those involved with him have any
answer that removes them from his plain
implications, the sooner they make it the
better.
There is but one verdict 10 pronounce on
the performance as i. now appears, and that
is one of unqualified reprobstion. IL the
scheme was what is represented it was cor
rupt, demoralizing and iniquitous. The Re-
publican party repudiates and denounces
such false appliances. II cannot succeed,
and cannot afford to socceed, by such means.
The proceeding is equally fragrant in morals
and impolitic IN practice. The management
which brings the party into peril and then
resorts to such desperate agencies TO save 1t
il ruinous. If the scheme were not indefen-
sible, it would be futile, for no considerable
body of votes could be transferred by such
huckstering. The traders may bargain, but
they could not deliver the goods. The Re-
publican psrfy must win by different sort
OF campaign.

Landscape-lover, lord of language

Thou that singest wheat and woodland;

CHALMERS THEN AND NOW-IN 1851
AND IH ISS2.

AS General Chalmers insists that he stands
now where he has always stood, and that the
Democratic party has deserted its principles
it may be well enough to refer to what he
said only last year on this head. General
Chalmers is, or was, one OF the owners of the
Vicksburg Daily Commercial, and for some
three months in the spring and summer OF
1881 he was its editor. During the remain
der of the year it was conducted by gen
tleman employed by him, and the paper
was universally recognized al. not only an
exponent of his views, but as his personal
organ and mouth-piece.
THE SOLID SOUTH.
In the Commercial of May 5, 1881, the gem
eral thus expressed his views in regard to
the solid South:
We have had six years experience of the solid
South The events of the Democratic years viii

THE CHANGE AND IT'S BENEFIT.
September IA, 1881, Editor Chalmers gave
his views as to the beneficial results flowing
out of the change from Radical TO Demo
cratic rule in Mississippi. Hesaid:
