Justice always falls on somebody in
China. A barber in Hankow threatened
his assistant with prosecution on the
charge of stealing twenty-sevcn cents,
whereupon the accused man took opium.
An official investigation was ordered,
but the barber bought up the mandarin,
who acquitted him, but, as it was nee
essary to make an example of somc-
body, ordered the policeman in whose

A Horrible Recital

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, April 2S.--A Topeka,
kas., special says: Last Saturday the wife
Of Jacob Freimuth, a homesteader in Seward
county, was cruelty murdered and outraged
by Fii!z Rupin, half witted German, who
was dragged to death later Rupin had
been for some time enjoying the hospitality
OF the Freimuth'5. He was homeless and
without friends, and they had taken him in
until he could find work. On the day men
toned, during the temporary absence Of
Mr.. Freimuth, Rupin overpowered his hen.
cfactor's wife, and brutality outraged her
person. NOT content with this, he bound
the lady hand and foot, and cut her throat
from ear to ear. The brute then secured
an old rusty hoe, and while the woman was
yet writhiIg in The death struggle, he dis
embowelled her with the blunt instrument
Mrs. Frsimuth was cncicntc and when dis.
covered the unborn bade lay few feet
Mr.. Freimuth returned Sunday, and when
he discovered the muilated body ofhis wifi,
he became a raving maniac, and shortly
afterward blew his brains out with Il shot
gun. Upon tho terrible story being noised
around posse Of neighbors started in search
of Rupin, whom they soon found and after
tying him hand and foot, fastened heavy
rope around his neck, and attached one end
to the pommel of the saddle which had been
placed upon spirited horse. The animal
was started at break-neck gallop, and did
not stop until compelled TO do so from sheer
exhaustion. Rupin was, Of course, killed
and his body mangled terribly.

Mr.. Riddeberger is reported as saddling
the responsibility for non free bridge legis-
lation upon Mr.. Barbour. 1t is pertinent
for MIR. Barbours friends to ask the Sena.
tor, why does he not sanction measure
which will compel the building of bridge
across the Potomac, by giving the Secretary
of War full discretion to erect a bridge
wherever public interest is best subseryei?
Instead of this course, both the Senate and
House bills now before Mr.. Barbour's COM
mittee con6ne the site to the Three Sisters
Islands, at which point the cost of new
roads to the already highly taxed county of
Alexandria involves an expenditure of from
$40, 900 to $4,000. Again, why does not
the Senator give the Government power to
condemn aud acquire property on which to
erect piers and abubments? Instead of that,
the only means given are through the au
thorization to expend $I5 900 for contingent
cies. Already citizen of Georgetown has

A. Splendid Welcome

Hon. Jefferson Davis left bis home at
Beauvoir, Miss, yesterday morning, accom-
panied by his youngest daughter They
were in a special car, in charge of COM
mittee of citizens of Montgomery, headed
by Mayor Reese, who went to escort them
The arrival at every station wss the signal
for a demonstration by the people At The
stopping places between Montgomery and
Mobile great crowds gathered, tho local
military companies fired salutes, children
waved their hankerchiefs and shouted, aud
all pressed to the car to shake the hand Of
the man who led the cause OF the South
during the war. Many one-leggcd and one.
armed soldiers were waiting to see him. and
all had shouts Of welcome. Mr.. Davis
stood or sat at the rear Of the car. He was
too feeble to speak, but gave . hearty hand
shake to all. The train reached Montgomery
at S o'clock at night. The scene has never
been equaled there. and ec!ipsed the inau-
gural reception Of 1861. Houses were illum-
mated, firewoik frightened the heavens,
artillery doomed, and dozen bands played,
while the shouts of thousands mingled with
the roar and added to It's volume. The 10.
cal military companies ard Gov. O'Ncal
and staff were at the depot TO receive Mr..
Davis. 1t was difficult for tho carriage in
which he sat, which Was drawn by four
white horses, to make its way through the

ion was tie grandest Of his life. The dec

WEDNESDAY EVENING, APRIL %.

Tue INNATE weakness of large secret
organizations lies in the natural cruelty OF
human nature. Knowing their power, ana
their immunity in its use, they exercise IL
ruthlessly, and thereby necessarily provoke
the antaponism of all who do not belong 10
them, The know nothings not only pro-
scribed foreigners and Catholics for ONCE
but boycotted them in their business AFFAIRS
The knights of labor, worse than the know
nothings, not only do all that the kno"
nothiugs did in the way of political pro-
scription, but push their boycotts to much
greater extent, and don't hesitate to resort
to murder and incendiarism in their wild
and reckless attempts to gaiu their ends
The assault upon and assassination of men
who take the place Of strikers, the derali'
ment of moving trains and the consequent
murder Of the men upon them and the burn
ing of property by these out on strlkes,h nave
very naturally, rs the cruel prescriptions
attempted by the know nothings did before
excited the opposition of all the light think
ing men of the country who do not belong
to the knights, and even of many ofthe better
men in that organization, and their down
fall lust az sure, and will BIO just as speedy
as was that of the know nothings-that is
provided they don't steer clear of politics
and don't obey the instructions of thell
chief, Mr. Powderly, to let strikes and boy

and assist them. severely alone

UNTIL THE recent strike OH tho Missouri
Pacific railroad, and the outrages attendant
upon it, the people Of the country had any
thing else than good opinion of Mr.. Jay
Gould but the outrages referred to, the
ruthless obstruction of life and property,
the reckless disregard of the business inter-
ests Of the whole country, the loss Of en-
ployment by those who wanted to work land
the increased cost of living to those who
could least afford to stand it, all the conse.
auences of that strike, have materially
changed that opinion, and most people are
now disposed to think that Mr.. Gould is
not half 80 ugly as he has been painted and
as thew had been led to believe.

MEXICO, THE land of silver, has become
so hampered by the deprecated value of
the coin made of that metal, that her house
of deputies has passed a bill creating two
commissions, one to come to Washington
and the other to go to Europe, to study the
means of preventing further evils to herself
from the continued use of such coin. The
one that comes to Washington will be made
sick by the sight of the millions Of the stan
dard dollars that crowd the Treasu-
ry vaults to their utmost capacity, because
nobody will have them except as gifts, and
tho Government can not give them away.

they could not meet the demand. This
strike is the outcome Of one in their factory
at Cincinnati. This morning there was no
disorder, the men for the most part staying
away from the vicinity of the factory.

cllssion of the nature of tho unions demand
and its probable effect upon their business,
it was agreed that the demand should not
be acceded to. The shoe manufacturers of
this city yesterday refused to accede to the

The FACT that out of all the nominations
the President has made only six or seven
have been rejected, shows pretty conclusive.
ly that though the Senate and the President
are nominally political enemies. the favors
done by the former to individual members
of the latter in the way of retaining repub
Leans in appointing them to office and have
not been forgotten, and have been recipro-
Gated whenever there was opportunity to
do co
