A Narrow Escape from Lynchlng

PETERSBURG. Va, October 24.-Walter
johnson. negro, aged twenty years,
was arrested near here Wednesday,
charged with having attempted, on the
29th Of September last, to assault Mrs.
Elizabeth Majors, daughter of promi-
nent citizen of Amelia county. Mrs.
Majors Is only nineteen years of age, and
was married last spring. Yesterday
Afternoon, after being taken before Ars.
Majors, johnson was identified by her.
Last night johnson made full con fession,
and implicated another negro named John
Jefferson, who il now IN North Carolina.
While johnson kept watch Jefferson
gagged Mrs. Majors by filling her mouth
with sticks and leaves, and then tied her
hands. johnson said he and Jefferson we're
guilty alike. After JObnson's confession
a rope was placed around his neck and
he was carried into the woods by party
of men. johnson begged piteously for
mercy. and asked to be given two days TO
pray and see his people. The mob yielded
to bis appeals. aud be was carried to
NottOwar county Jail, he feeling 10 very
bitter against Johnson. The impression
is that he will certainly be lynched.
LATER-Johnson has voluntarily made
full confession of his guilt. He says the
stories he told charging John Jefferson
with the crime are false, and that he
alone is guilty. He said he could not
sleep till he had made confession. The
confession was made to jsilOr Williams.

A great hu llabaloo is being raised over
the question Ts the Mckinley tariff law
invalidated by the omission of section 30
which relates to the rebate on the tax on
tobacco ~ The sensible answer, of course,
is that it is not. If the matter were to
come into court it is much more probable
that the decision would rest upon the
ssumption-growing from an examina-
ton of the whole history of this particular
legislatiOn-thst congress intended that
section to form part of tho bill and that
its omission was merely q clerical error,
than that the law, by reason Of this
accidental omission. has become null and
void. As matter Of fact, omissions Of this
sort have occurred time and time again
Even during the recent session OF congress
an error occurred in the engrossing Of the
river and harbor bill, by which a certain
item, intended to be $500, 900, appeared
in the approved bill as only $4,000
Nobody has set up the claim, OF course,
that this one clerical error could operate
as a constitutional defect against the
bill as a whole. Some years ago, il our
memory does not deceive US. the whole
clause making appropriation for the
impro, oihcnt of the Mississippi river was
unintentionally omitted from river and
harbor bill, but the validity OF the bill was
never questioned on that account. The
whole agitation shows, however, to
what length the free traders and importers
are disposed to go to serve partisan aud
selfish ends.-Inde1-A appeal.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent.

(From our Regular Correspondent.
WASHINGTON. D. c., Oct. 27.-The
new Treasury notes designed to be paid
out for silver bullion are being eagerly
looked for by business men, who want
paper money of small denomination. The
$40, 500, and 81, 900 Treasury notes are
already in circulation, and at the Bureau
of Engraving and Printing it is announced
that the 81 and S. bills will be delivered
to the Treasury Department by the first
of next month. The act establishing the
new paper currency was passed last July,
and work on it was at once begun by the
Bureau.
The rumor which gained vide circu-
lation throughout the country to the effSot
that Hon. Grover Cleveland dropped dead
in Washington lsst Thursday is totally
unfounded. Mr.. Cleveland arrived here
on morning train from New York and
proceeded directly to the Arlington hotel
where be is occupying suite of rooms.
Mr.. Cleveland having bis attention called
to the alarming rumor at noon said
"You may tell my friends that have
never felt better in my life than / do at
this time"
Major John NJ. Carson, clerk Of the
committee on ways and means, says the
published statements that the omission OF
tie tobacco drawback amendment from
the tariff bill was the fault of the confer
ence committee and not the fault Of the
enrolling clerk is incorrect. The error, he
says, was made by the enrolling clerks.
Major Carson does not take any stock in
the agitation made by importers about the
agitation made by importers about the
omission. For the last fifty years omissions
have occurred in the tariff bills passed
during that time and they have all been
corrected by congress. He thinks nothing
will result from the agitation and says
that congress will make the correction be-
fore January 1st next, when the omitted
paragraph was intended to 60 into effect.

the New York San
alt is an old country saying in New
England that winter comes when it's
springs are filled, and experience verifies
IL. In the opinion of the Connecticut
weather prophet all signs indicated an
early and notably rigorous winter. The
early appearance of the fall cricket and
katydid this season., the carly focking of
migratory birds, and especially the early,
deluging and prolonged September rains,
all presaged the early advent of winter
and a hard and snowy One."

BLAINE's PLEA FOR PROTECTION.

CANTON, OHIO, October 25. Hon. James
q. Blaine and party arrived in this city at
noon. Several excursion trains brought
strangers to the city to the number of
$1,000 frem all directions.
At 3 O'Clock this evening Mr.. Blaine
and Major Mckinley addressed tremen-
dous audience in the Tabernacle, while
Congressman Daizell addressed an over
flowing audience in the Opera House.
During Mr.. Blaine's speech seat in the
gallery broke down and its occupants were
pretty we'll shaken up, but were not
seriously hurt. The crash created intense
excitement and the utmost efforts were re-
quired to prevent a panic. One man,
whose name was not learned, jumped
from a second story window, receiving
painful injuries.
Mr. John c. Dueber, the millionaire
watch manufacturer, presided and intro
duced Mr.. Blaine who was received with
shouts OF enthusiasm. Mr.. Blaine began {:
"Mr. Chairman and Fellow Citizens Of
Ohio The contest that is now waging for
no membership in the next United States
congress is not properly a con test between
the republican and democratic parties.
IL is contest between protectiOnists and
free traders. 1t IS a root of the matter as
to the national property and on that issue
| think we can afford to forget party
lines while we settle the question in ia
vor OF home interests, good wages and
sound prosperity.
Mr.. Blaine referred to the speech of Mr..
Carl Schurz delivered in Boston last week
and pronounced it very able speech on
q n fraa tra1a oida oaxino, tfT lilo q II fran
traders Mr. Schurz goes back for the golden
era of American prosperity to the tariff of
1886" Answering Mr.. Schurz's assertions
Mr.. Blaine used the arguments that he
employed in the North american Revietc
controversy last January with Mr.. Glad
stone.
No one ever heard of protective tar
if breaking down and free trade tariff
coming to the people 3 relief. Five times
the people of the United States tried a
free trade tariff and five times 1t has been
failure. wecsnnot again dare TO ex-
pertinent or take the dreadful chances of
the effects of free trade on our industries
where there are millions of mouths to
be fed. An accident now would hazard
vast interests that would not put the
country where 1t stands again for ten
pentential years thereafter.
Mr.. Blaine concluded
Gentlemen II may suggest, 1T is to
elect protectionist to congress that is
your interest. That is the interest of every
manufacturing district in the country, and
| appeal to this district, not only on the
grounds of its interests, but the interest
of ' our doOrsill and freslde. appeal to
every man in Stark county and the three
other counties that make up the district.
| appeal both to your interest and to your
pride to send Major Mckinley back again,
that he may be useful, not merely to this
district, nor to his state alone, but to the
| United States.
Mr.. Blaine and his party left for Chi
csgo this evening.
