 TIE telegraph for several day: past has tecn burdened with the ac- counts of terrible riot in Cincin- natl and the later ones confirm s previous report that numb Der oi persons have been killed and wound ed and the courthouse in Cincinnati burned to the ground.
 Tie primary cause of the whole terrible disaster Nss the failure ot the courts to execute cold flooded murderer. o.e Wm Rerner had been sentenced to the penitentiary for the term of twenty years for a murder, the story of which is as fol- lows:
 Wm. H. Kirk, was murdered in his stable last February ly Berner who stood behind the door and, when his victim entered smashed his head with hammer, robbed him of $40O, put the b. .dy iuto the wagon o the murdered man, hauled it off and dumped it into Mill creek. where it was discovered two days later. Joe Palmer and Wm. Berner confessed that they did the murder and rob bery. On the trial, Berner testified that Pulmer did the actual murder while he only looked on 10 get share of the money. On V ednesday morning Berner was found guilty of manslaughter.
 The jury that found the verdict were hooted in the streets and final " suggestion was made to break into the jail and lynch Berner. The suggestion gained strength tlll final ly an immense crowd attacked the jail and courthouse and the police of the city and the militia were called out to protect the property and Ber> ner. This only enraged the crowd and, though Berner was secretly taken from the jail and started for the penitcntiary at Columbus, the riot grew in magnitude and finally resulted in the burning of the large aud elegant courthouse aad the death of some thirty or forty citi- zens.
 Berner was taken from the train at town before reaching Colum bus and hanged.
 So much for the failure of law to protect the people through the nachinations of tricksters at laH., and money. The incident is a terrible warning to those whom the people expect to uphold the integrity of their institu- tions If the Cincinnati mob had hanged the jury that had thus per jurcd themselves and disgraced and humlliaied justice ard betrayed the safeguard of the people, they would l have perhaps doae the country an immense bereft. Time and again it has been pointed out that there is a higher law than that Of our courts, 1 which, when awak ened, is terrible in it's vengeance. and in this case we have an instance.
 Of course the occasion was taken 1 advantage or by the hoodlum andthe l professional law-breaker to further their desires; but Tn the primary 1 move the people felt that their courts had become mockery; and they were right--moreover, they were right when they took It upon them selves to correct the abuses their in stitutions had suffered, however ter rible the result of such move may 1 have been. If there is no check to the outrages upon justice; we can ex> pect no further protection to the life and property of the citizen.

The Southern Negroes Dog.

When YOU come to study the matter
you will find Just as much difference
between the ) outhern negro's dog and
the white mans dog, as there IS be-
tween canine owned by negro and
one which comes when Senator snaps
his fingers
The Southern colored man who is too
poor to have mule, OK, pig, fowls,
doors, windows, or fire place in his
cabin, has a dog sonnet mes four or
five. When he comes to town at least
one follows him. When you pass his
home the whole family OF CANNES bark
at you from distance, or silently gaze
at you from the doorstep.
The negroes dog is a SLOUGH. He is
built on wrong principles to begin with.
1t would seem as if half of him had
been on earth for year or two before
the other half was hitched on. He seems
to realize that he isn't purity" and he
BEHAVE accordingly. He is almost in
variably of dun-color. He sides
along where other dogs trot, and if he
isn't stump tailed he is lucky canine.
He follows along in a humble manner,
as if begging pardon for being on earth,
and the smallest whiffet can scare him
until his eyes hang out like peeled
onions.
You never see one misbehaye in town.
He sits under The wagon. if there i.
one; if not, he follows his ma ter's
heels up and down and around in abject
humility. ready to run at the slightest
alarm ready to return as soon as dan.
ger has passed. Step on him and he
will not show tooth; speak to him
and he skips out with his tail dragging
The master may be everso Independent,
but the dog has no business on earth.
He is an interloper. He feels this, and
he sinks end slouches. and if per
chance he ha pens TO utter bark as {
stranger rides up he is at once seIzet
with the most dreadful remorse, anC
away he goes or the swamps to do pen
ance and convince himself that it wa
