An investigation of the Copiah county
outrage was begtm yesterday at New
Orleans by n subcommittee of the COM
mittee appointed for that purpose by
the Senate, on the resolution of John
Sherman. The testimony OF Leon Mat
tkews. brother of Print Matthews, the man
who was shot dead at the polls,
was very direct, and so far has
been corroborated by other witnesses. His
story is one that no man can read without
= feeling OF shame that IN a free country
and in this nineteenth century SO brutal
and rutiianly a spirit-one so illiberal and
uaiust-should, under any preteXt OF po-
Gtical stress, be permitted to assert itself
He tells OF other outrages besides that OF the
murder OF his brother, which was at the
time condemned by the APPEAL and
majority OF the Democratic ipapers of
Mississippi. Oi these we have never
heard before. but that which is the cause
Of the Congressional inquiry was abso-
iItely confessed to by the cold blooded
resol lutions adopted, rs we believe,
by few men in the name
of the Democrats of Copiah coun-
~. To take human life is an awful
crime. and one that sooner OF later over
takes the perpetrator, unless it is justified
in the plainest way by the plea of self
defense. To take a life because man
differs with another politically, and like
free man dsres TO make that difference
known at the ballot-box, is TO commit IA
do o.uble crime, the most dreadful in the
esIeEdar. The Democrats of the South
have condemned this double crime at
Haxlehurst and denounced the criminal,
his aiders and abettors. The ascendency
OF the party just now the hope OF the
country is not TO be promoted in that way.
1t is the party OF freedom, of individual
freedom. and it has no lot or part with
any man or body of men who commit
crime. 9ts methods are legal and just,
open and frank, and it Insists that those
who attempt TO degrade it to the depths of
an awful crime shall take the consequences
OF Their folly and he alone responsible forit.

WAsHINGToN, February 15.-Secretary
Lincoln was before the House Committee
on Appropriations this morning while that
committee was preparing the joint resolu-
ton, which subsequently passed both
houses, making an additional appropria-
ton of $500, 600 Tor the relief of sufferers
by the foods. Secretary Lincoln said he
thought the appropriation asked for to-
day, making a total of 100000, would be
sufficient for several days. He has ordered
boat with supplies to be sent from Park
ersburg, w. Va. There will then be seven
boats on the river between Pittsburg and
Cairo distributing clothingand provisions.
Gen. Saxton, United States army, tele-
graphs from Louisville that the relief
steamer Matte Hays left there this morn
ing with 5000 rations for points below.
She will proceed as far as Shawneetown.
Gen. Saxton also says he is informed that
there is great distress in small towns
above Louisville on both sides of the
river, and asks authority to charter
steamer and purchase supplies for their
relief. The Secretary telegraphed author
ity for him to proceed as suggested.
A telegram from Capt Gushing, United
States army, at Pittsburg, says he engaged
the steamer Kate Stockdale, and loaded
her with provisions and clothing and
started out to afford relief wherever neces-
sary. He says he has already expended
$4,000, and aas about $4,000 left. He re-
ports the greatest distress prevailing at
Ironton, Catlettsburg and Gallipolis.
e Gen. Saxton, at Louisville, in supple
mental telegram, says it is impossible at
present to estimate the extent of the dis
tress prevailing in that vicinity, but as
many thousands OF families have been
thrown out of employment, it will be
necessary to afford relief for many weeks
to come.
The Secretary telegraphed authority for
the expenditure of additional sums OF
money as follows: Maysville, KY, $1,000;
vanceburg, Ky, $500; Milton, Ind, $500;
