Remarkable Story Concerning an Attempted
Lynching at Winchester.

Remarkable Story Concerning an Attempted
Lynching at Winchester.
JACKSONVILLE, Oct. 21.-News has reached
here from Winchester that Fred Hollar confined
in the county jail at that place for an assault on
June % last upon Mrs. Mclaughlin and Mrs.
Taylor, who lived alone on a farm five miles
west of Winchester was very dangerously and
probably mortally wounded by mob which
attempted to take his life yesterday morning.
The Jail was surrounded by about fifty masked
and armed men. They compelled the deputy
sheriff to surrender the keys and conduct them
to Hollar's cell. They would have shot their
victim to death had not the jaier prevailed
upon them to do their bloody work outside the
walls. They dragged the prisoner out
and he at once made a desperate rush for
liberty. Forty men fired at him as
he ran, but only one pall hit him. 1t penetrated
his abdomen. He managed to elude his pursuers
and at last returned to the jail Here he was
again shot at by the men left there on guard,
and again he ran. This time he met the city
marshal, who concealed him and summoned sur
gical aid. The mob, after thorough search,
dispersed. Holar's recovery is despaired of. The
assault he is accused of, most brutal one.
The two women were defenseless, and were cut
and hacked without mercy narrowly escaping
death.

No Hope for Vincent.

Special to Courier-Journal.
1t is next to certain that Chief justice Vincent,
of New Mexico, will not be restored to the bench.
His friends may be able to free his name from
all suspicion of crime and crookedness, but the
fact that he is deficient in Judgment, and there
fore unfit for the place he has held has been
amply demonstrated. Judge Vincent is only
twenty eight years of age, and while bright
man, is without much experience in his profess
ion. 1t is probable that, had the President
known this, the appointment would not have
been made. The testimonials of Mr. Springer
and others to Judge Vincent were somewhat
sloppy, and were based upon their admiration
for young man who was pushing his way to
the front, but who, as it turns out lacked
every quality that should shine conspicuous in a

JOHNSON AND GRANT.
Col Moore Thinks Gen. Grant Misappre-
hended the Intentions of the President.

NEW YORK. Oct 21.-A Washington special
to the Post says: 1.-THE statement of MIR.
Chauncey NJ. Depew as to the relations between
General Grant and President johnson, has been
read with the greatest interest by Colonel Moore,
Andrew Johnson's stenographic secretary, who is
now the cashier of the Metropolitan National Bank
of this city. Colonel Moore says that in his
opinion, General Grant rested under a radical
misapprehension as to the essential points in
Mr.. Depew's statement-frst, the trip to Mexico
and second, Johnson's relation to the
Southern aristocracy. AS to the trip
to Mexico, Colonel Moore turned
to stenographic notes, now in his possession, OF
the correspondence between President johnson
and General Grant upon that subject ard he
says that these notes show that johnson, in
rendering this mission to Mexico, whatever it
was, to General Grant, stated that the latter
would not be required to be absent from Wash
lngton longer than the meeting of Congress
This, Colonel Moore thinks effsctually dsposes
of that part of the story AS to the charge of
Johnson's association with the Southern aris-
tocracy, Colonel Moore says that from his per-
sonal observation man could be freer from
such an accusation: that he was emphatically a
man of the people, and that his whole course in
the White House refuted this charge
private secretary of President johnson. being
questioned on the subject. said that he was in
cned to think that Mr.. Depew had uEintention-
ally given color to the statements made to him by
General Grant. There is no question that Mr.
johnson said that treason should be made
odious, but do not believe Mr.. johnson wanted
to go far this statement of Mr. Depew
would indicate was his intention. Mr.. johnson,
In his younger DAYS, was much opposed to the
aristocracy of the South, but l think that his
maturer views changed in this particular"
Only the Herald and World editorially com
ment upon the Grant-Johnson story. The
World says: '"This is the story that has been
repeatedly limited at, and now that it is all out
everybody will feel better. 1t is a marked trib
ute to the loyalty and steadfastness Of General
Grant. and it adds another shade to the dark
ened memory of Andrew Johnson"
The Herald says: This correspondence is, of
course, only the prelude to further revelations
concerning one of the most perilous episodes in
our national history. Among the disclosures
that are to come. we wait with special interest a
sufficient explanation why the reasonable prop
ositions of President johnson, which General
Grant related to Mr.. Depew, and which Colonel
Grant certi6es that he has letters and documents
to attest, omitted from the articles of i'm
parchment presented against the President by
the House of Representatives in 1863"
