walls very extensively among North
ern Republican editors. Their moral
vision is distorted in such sort that
even when they see the truth they
scorn to tell it. if, by so doing, JUS
tice would be done the South. They
even put themselves out of the way
to asperse the motives and belle the
conduct of Southern men and when
compelled to recognize the existence
Of lawle5sness 10 the other sections
of the country, it is done 10 such sort
as to extenuate is presence there
by representing a much worse state
of affairs as existing at the South. -
Here is a specimen paragr ph from
the pous and noble New York Tri
bune
THE capture of the two Iowa despera-
does, the Barber brothers, illustrates the
difference between Western and Southern
methods. Although five men were engaged
in the capture, and one was killed and the
others injured, no harm was done to the
two criminals and they have been carefully
protected from violence. In more than one
Southern State they would have been killed
at sight
There you have it. 'Lord, we
thank Thee that we are not as other
men are--and especially as those
barbarous Sou'herners. 1t was nee,
essary to ADMIT that the BARRIERS
were great scoundrels, even though
they we're not Southern men but
the Tribune couldn't be content at
that. Iowa is q Republican State,
and "barbaro methods" are not to
lie admitted as prevailing there
Behold the triumphs of civilized
methods, where "the grand old party
bears rule !" cries the Tribune, 10
effect. Although they were great
scoundrels and killed and wounded
several of their captOrs, "they have
been carefully protected from vio'
ence." And then warming, up to
the demands of the opportunity, the
noble Tribune adds: "In more than
one Southern State they would pro
baby have been killed at sight.
That is, affairs may be pretty bad in
Iowa, but they are much worse down
among the "barbarous Southerners."
The calm, heroic, iberty-loviug,
law abiding saints of Iowa, on the one
hand, are set over against the wild,
reckIt IS, Iawless sinners of the South,
on the other. 1t is sort OF picture
that 40 editor-godly after the sort
of the Puritans, might we'll be cx>
pected to draw, and then retire with
in himself to smile at his success.
But go to. This is strange
world. Even out in Iowa men have
passions, and violence sometimes
seems to ride upon the very air.
The noble picture of the Tribune
was drawn upon the Sth inst and

WAvERLY, Iowa, June 9th.-The
Barber brothers we're taken from jail
by a mob at 1870 las. night and
hung to a tree half mile east of the
Jail. The mob was composed of men
from Fayette county, led by a
brother of Deputy Sheriff Sheppard,
who was kilIed nv the Barber broth
ers lest fall at West Union. The
sheriff refused to give up the keys
of the jill, whereupon the mob bat
tered down the doors with a sledge
hammer. After a short delay inside,
the lynchers brought the criminals
out with ropes tied around their
necks, but neither of them flinched
particle, and they did not even
plead for mercy at any stage OF the
proceedings.
