The White Slave

The Omaha Daily RcpajlicaA, Of the
% inst. has the follwing to say of 'he
celebrated play
The time of the picc" is before the
abolition of slavery 1t therefore intro
duces us to the sunny South while their
unfortunate land was under the demonical
tyranny of the slave holder. OF this in
dividual and his hell hounds, Mr.. Campbell
has given us, if not an original al least a
very forcible and abhorreut specimen.
He is not simply the master of blacks, but
aims to be lord over whites, and Of these
he is not content with their bodies, but
strives also to gain an aSCendcncy over
their souls AS such, the character re
Ceives more touches from Mr. Campbell
than he has from even more able hands
in the domain of literature. For this Mr.
Campbell must be congratulated. He has
shown how vivid a picture may be drawn
and displayed on the stage; he has shown
how strongly the stage may be made a
reflex of times and mOrtals that have gone,
and he has further shown how hideous a
character may be of this type which has
become familiar to us from long intimacy
with the brutes of Mrs Stoves drawing
With all its Objectionable features, just
when verging upon some of Its uglier
traits, Mr.. Campbells skill enables him to
display some very brutal instincts, with
out, however, offending the sense Of the
fastidous.
Incidental to the piece are a number of
fairly well sung solos and quartettes and
choIuscs which, in connection with other
plantation features, irresistahly call to
mind those antebellum days, the recolIec-
ton of which, even as painted 5y writers
of those days, seem the more. romantic the
farther they are left behind.

in the streets in the vicinity of the conflict
and safe estimate of the killed is from
fifty to seventy five. Only small portion
of them have been identified or names
preserved The rumor about the killing
of Col Hunt and Lieut.. 0 Meara is found
to be false. There were three or four
slight causallies in the jail. The Colonel
of the 4th Regiment is not yet able to col

A WARNING TO WICKED CHARACTERS.
CINCINNATI, March 29.-The following
handbill was gwen wide circulation
through the city to-day:
Public safety demands immediate
action. Organize vigilance committees in
every ward. Heal sores by purifying the
body; and serve notice to criminals Grim.
inal lawyers, gamblers, and prostitutes to
leave Hamilton County within three days,
and remain away forever, or suffer the
penalty. AS long as the present clique
OF criminal lawyers that infest the city are
permitted to remain and corrupt juries,
outrage justice, and shield criminals, Just
that long will our citizense be murdered,
our property DESTROYED, and protection
by the law be denied Make one clean
sweep while we are at it. A vigilance
committee of 300 in each ward, composed
of the best citizens, can, by earnest work,
cleanse the moral atmosphere in three days.
Organize at once, and serve notice to all
disreputable characters in the ward to
leave and never return. The reputation
of this city demands a change, or wicked
ness will regin supreme"

NO ORGANIZATION.

The scenes during this memorable night
have been 1ndescribable. No mob could
have been less equipped by organization
or leadership than this one, nor does it
seem that the military and police have had
any good plan OF leadership. The prep
.arations for defence during the day were
all against an attack from Sycamore street.
Main street was left exposed. and wit
nesses say almost no opposition was made
to firing the treasurer's office. The troops
all gathered in the Jail The fire depart

no further. They obeyed. While hand
to-hand fight was in progress, the police
now and then made rush for the crowd
and arrested number of rioters, taking
them into the Jail. They refused to give
their names in every instance. Many of
them were well dressed and good looking
men.

IA. M,-By an unaccountable motive,
the mob stands in the streets in range of
the soldiers guns, apparently courting
death. There is no method, no purpose
apparent. 1t is typical mod of mad
men. Just now a man who ycntured
near the scene saw volley fired and a
man named Ed Gallagher whom the man
happened to know, fall dead. Several
others were wounded. At this hour there
is no cessation of the firing; indeed, it
has grown heavier and is accounted for by
the statement that the mob have procured
a cannon.
Col Harper's order to the Fourth regi,
ment has just been given. 1t directs the
colonel to march his men quietly up
Fourth street to Sycamore, thence up
Sycamore to the Jail, to disperse whatever
mob may be in the way but at all events
to Join the other troops now in the jail
1t tells him the troops there will be look
ing for him. 1t will be nearly an hour
before this order can be carried into eject.
Meantime the firing continues. There is
possibility the Fourth regiment may reach
the scene without encountering much re-
sistance The mob at this time seems to
be gathered principally at the corner of
Main and Ninth streets under cover.

TIE RESOLUTIONS

Following are the resolutions adopted
at the Music hall meeting Friday night
WHEREAS jury composed of citizens
of the county of Hamilton, having heard
the testimony in the case of VIM. Berner
who had been guilty of participation in
The murder Of Wm. Kirk. which was one
OF the most atrocious and cold blocded
murders ever committed, and whose guilt
was clearly established, have returned a
verdict of guilty of manslaughter only;
and
WHEREAS we have assembled to give
expression of our views concerning this
transaction; therefore
ReS0lGed, that the law abiding people of
Hamilton county look with Indignation
and alarm upon the frequency with which
the crime of homicide is committed in the
county, and the immunity which is afford
ed to red handed murderers by the man
ner in which the laws are administered .
Resolced, that the recent conviction of
William Berner of manSlaughtcr in the
face of the plain facts which he had so
frequently admitted, verbally and IN
writing, and which was sufficiently proved
by the testimony of witnesses independent
Of lis confession, is an alarming event,
and one which should command the at
tention of the people.
ReSOlged, that the jurors who acquitted
BerEer of murder in the first degree arc
unfit to live in civilized community and
that they should, one and all, receive scorn
and contempt of their fellow citizens to
such an extent that they will be glad to
leave the country and seek homes else
where during the remainder of their un-
worthy lives.
Res0lced that we are opposed to illcga
methods of Furnishing crime, and that We
will exert ourselves to secure more vi
gorous and speedy administration of the
| criminal laws, and call upon all our fcl
| lew citizens to aid in the endeavor to the
end that the people may be spared the
necessity of taking extra judicial means
to obtain security for life and property
in our county.
ResoIced, that we demand such change:
in the laws of the state as will secure {
more speedy and effective administration
of the criminal law, and to this end WI
request the president of this meeting t
| appoint committee of fifty persons Il
consider and report at future mass meet
ing of the people what changes in tht
statutes of the state Will be necessary Il
promote this end, especially with refer
| epCe to the jurV system

This must not be permitted to con-

disaster to the anti. Mormon cause.
The Mormon Democrats are actively
at work, charging various crimes and
no end of wrong-do'ng and sinister

A new freight steamboat for the Providence &
Stonington Steamship Company has been
launched. She is intended to run between Ston.
ington and New York, in connection with the
New York, Providence & Boston railroad The
boat is 800 feet long, and will have the Morgan
feathering paddle-wheels. The popularity Of
the boat will be that, instead of the beam engine
SO generally used on side-wheel steamboats, in
Eastern waters, she will have compound oscil
ating direct-acting engines. The high pressure
cylinder will be forty-two inches in diameter,
and the low-pressure cylinder seventy eight
inches, both being ten feet six inches stroke.

reason therefor becomes of interest. 1t seems
that the Westinghouse Air4brake Company pre-

that these orders were pending was based upon
the action Of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe,

important lines. who bought immense quantities
after the most exhaustive tests The orders
amounting to 81 500, 600, would have been placed

Of this action on the part Of the railroad com
