should be done, and the object of it all was
to get the vote of Judge Young's county in
the senatorial convention, for the said Rob
inson Crus0e. II was simply bargain
between tho said Robinson Crusoe and tho
said Young, by which each agreed to
scratch the others back il was game of
"you tickle me and I'll tickle you, and the
people in convention assembled, poor
dupes, were made innocent parties to the
game. Robinson Crusoc Hogan "ticklcd'
Young ut Mound City, when he got the
congressional delegates instructed for
Young; Young "tickIed" Robinson Crusoe,
when he had the senatorial delegates from
his Williamson county instructed for
| Robinson Crusoe as senator from the Fifty
first district Thus it appears that the
instruction Of the Pulaski county con-
grcssional delegation for Judge Young
was not in accordance with, the
will Of the people, not with reference to
the best qualities of the opposing candi-
dates for congress, nor with reference to
the best interests of the people, but Was
the result of bargain between two ar
three men for their own personal benefit.
This is the inside history Of the Republican
political events in Pulaski county during
the last few weeks, and it il nearly as in
famous as that Of Alexander county is. 1t
proves beyond doubt that Republican
politics is u very, very filthy thing. 1t
proves that bold dishonesty, unhallowed
bargains, black intrigue, and consistent
effort to defeat the will of the people in
the interest of the few ring leaders, like a
filthy disease, terminates the whole Repub-
lcan carcas, from the head at Washington
and his cabinet, down TO the little chair
men of County Central committees and
their ward bummers. How long will the
honest people, the honest Republicans who
are largely in the majority, but who are
always the helpless victims Of the unscrupu-
lous few, submit to this baleful tyranny!

From gentleman who came down the
Ohio river from Elizabethtown yesterday
the particulars of a horrible crime which
was perpetrated in the little town named
Monday evening were obtained. Sunday
night young negro named John Tolly
sought to enter the window Of n house in
which Il newly married young couple,
named Howe, lived. He was partly through
the window, when Mrs Howe, who was
alone in the house, discovered him and
screamed for assistance, which scared the
negro and after striking at the young wo-
man as she rushed passed him, he left the
premises. A few minutes later the father
and brothers Of Mrs. Howe arrived, they
searched for the negro aud found a young
boy who they thought was the right one,
walking down the street, not far away from
from the house. They caught the boy and
took him back to the house for identified
ton Ivy Mrs. Howe but the lady was not
able to say positively that he was the right
one, However, the negro was taken to Jail
Owing to the threats made by the male
relatives Of Mrs, Howe and their friends,
the sheriff thought it best TO take the prs.
oner to GolConda for safe keeping. In
order to have him handy to the river, the
negro was taken to the court house, but
while the sheriff was trying TO get a skill,
the father and brothers of Mrs. Howe,
whose names are Belt, heard Of the shcrll's
Intention they and number Of others
went to the court house, took the negro out
and, after maltreating him in the most
shocking manner, hung him to a tree. On
the way, the negro protested that he was
innocent, and prayed most piteously for his
life, as also did the boys aged father.
After listening to them while, old man
Belt, turning suddenly upon the young
negro, demanded, ado you mean to call
me liar2" and when the poor negro merely
repeated that he was not the guilty one,
Belt struck him over the head with the but
Of his gun, knocking him senseless to the
ground When the negro revived a rope
was placed around his neck and he was
lead on; but before the party reached the
place Of execution old Belt struck the negro
down again and kicked in the face, and
when the poor wretch came to again
he was put out Of his
misery by being drawn up at the
end Of rope. And all this horrible outrage
occurred in the presence Of the victims
father and in the good old Republican"
state of Illinois. The people Of Elizabeth
town are, Of course, very much excited.
These are the facts OF the case AZ told by
the gentleman referred to, who claims TO
have been an eye witness Of the whole
