from Virginia to Texas. The Alabama
klan drove him from the polls. The
midnight raiders OF Louisiana hung
him TO the rafters OF his cabin. The
first citizens OF Kemper county shot
him down in the presence OF his wife
and children. New Orleans, Coushat-
IA and Copiah all told story which
the world read with horror. All this
time the oolored man has kept on and
plies pillow and hoe. Now what he
wants is education. This amendment
would secure it for him, which the
bill, as it stood, would moi. IL the
amendment failed his (Mr. Hale's)
course was clear. He would stand
or fill" with the amendment.
Senator Allison defended his amend
ment. He asked the Southern Ssna-
tors whether they thought the people
OF this country would assent that out
Of S5S 10000 which the bill would
give the South, S40,000,000 should 20
to the education OF the whites while
only $lS,000,00O was 10 go for the edu-
cation of the colored, Notwithstanding
the fact that the illiterscy OF the
Southern whites was but little more
than that prevailing in the Northern
States. Did they suppose this bill,
without this amendment, would ELL
dure the just criticism Of Northern
people with such an equitable appica-
ton OF the money. Senator Allison
had belief that this vicious PROPOSE
ton for the distribution OF money
within the States bad been made to
secure for the bill votes from Senators
from which they could not otherwise
be secured. His amendment could
not, however, be "whistled down the
wind"
Senator Logan submitted as amend
ments the substance OF a measure
heretofors introduced by him, one
providing an appropriation Of $40, 0O0,-
coo for the first year, 100000 the
second year, $4,000, 900 the third

four miles west OF this place, was the
scene of one OF the boldest robberies

hands and feet, and one OF them stood
on hor breast and tIamped her face.
Her eyes are bloodshot and her face
discolored from the outrages. The
flesh is partly torn from her hands
where the ropes were tied. They
then took feather bed and covered
her head, and she remained in this
unconscious condition three hours,
during which they rAnsacked the
house, Not finding anything of value
they demanded money, and in case Of
noncompliance they threatened Ia
apply the torch. All they received
