REscRIPTs HANDED DOWN
Supreme Court Gives Decisions it
Many Cases Heard in Worcester.

The supreme court has handed down
a number of rescripts in cases recently
heard before the full bench, at it's sit
ting in Worcester. In the divorce libel
of Julia E. Osborn VS.. Thomas S. Os-
born, the supreme court sustains the
decree of Judge Gaskill and the eX-
ceptions were oVerruled, the court hold
ing that the evidence did not require
the trial judge Ito find conformation a
matter of proof The decree nisi was
granted on the grounds of cruel and
abusive conduct. Blackmer e. Vaughn
appeared for the libellant, and j. B.
Scott for the libellee.
In the case of Frank II. Kelley VS..
William S. Barton, the bill was dis
missed, and the court holds that the
plaintiffs remedy was a petition for
abatement and not q bill in equity.
In the case of William j. Harnois VS..
George H. Cutting, brought in the
lower court to recover for personal I'M
juries, the exceptions are sustained,
there being no evidence of negligence on
the part of the defendant. Sheehan &
Cutting were for the plaintiff, and c. C.
Milton and Herbert Parker for the de-
PENDANT.
In the case of Clarence E. Anderson
VS.. Gustaf A. Berg, the exceptions are
overruled. The court holds that the un-
contradicted testimony showed that the
contract of July Is was ratified. There
was no question to be submitted to the
jury in this connection, and the court
could find that it was ratified. BY the
ratification, the statutory requirements
for lien of labor and material against
the owner were complied with" Wood
& Wood appeared for the plaintiff, and
H. s. Hasllill and M. NJ. Taylor for the
defendant.
In the case of Margaret McCauley VS..

A HORRIBLE CRIME.

Ir lie now asserted on the authority
of the Barnwell, s. O. SEKrISEL that .
colored man and his wife were the vie
tins of q NEST fiendish outrage in
Greenwood County, South Carolina.
After whipping him barbsrously
they raped bis wife in his presence.
This occurred about two weeks ago.
We have not as yet seen the flaming
headlines which tell Of this action of
demons.
No mobs are securing the country
for the lswless parties. No proclama-
ton has been issued by the Governor
of South Carolina, and no dissertation
upon the dspravily of the white race
has appeared in any Of the papers OF
the country.
The fiends have not been arrested
and the sheriff of Greenwood county
has made no effort to arrest the guilty
parties.
We are told that laws must be upheld
and the Iaw-breakers punished.
We have waited for of our contempt
raries who have been calling upon col
ored journals to condemn the crime
and the criminals to note what atti-
tude they will assume towards this
horrible crime.
Rape on the part of colored men lie
no worse than rape on the part of
white ones.
II colored men deserve the stak e,
white men deserve the stake. The
basis Of equality should not be dis
turbed either in the conrts of justice
or in the arena Of honor.

OOLoRED VOTERS KICKING.

THE colored Republicans OF Jackson,
Mississippi held a largely attended
meeting August 18th and denounced
all wbits line Republicans from Presi-
dent McKrSLEY down to the employees
of the jackson poss-ofice.
It seems that the Republican man
ayers secured the appointment of three
Democratic physicians as pension ex-
aminers although q colored Republi-
can was an applicant.
1t is stated that no colored men are
employed in the Federal offices there.
and that Democrats hold many OF the
best places there.
This is in keeping with the Presi-
dents policy OF pscificstion, superin-
duced by n desire to secure senatorial
votes in support OF bis Philippine poll
cy.
1t IS enough to make the Angel Ga
briel kick much less the earthly color
ed m an OF Mississippi.
The meeting also criticised She
Presidents attitude with reference to
lynchiDg in the South and called upon
the colored Republicans OF the North
to join with them in defeating him at
the polls next year unless he changes
his policy. Coz. GAMBLER Of Georgis
was commended for his recent attitude
in dealing with lYnching.
This is Independence with n VEN
geance. It seems that the colored
folks mesn business. II the Republi-
can leaders insist upon abandoning the
principles OF the party, the colored
voters will insist upon abandoning
them.
