UNION STOCKYARDS, INDIANAPOLIS,
July 2O.-Cattle-Receipts, 800; shipments
none The receipts of cattle this week show
an increase Of nearly 400 over last week,
2, 200 over the same week a year ago and
ZOO over the corresponding week two
years ago. Thus far this year the re-
ceipts are nearly 1900 larger than the
same period last year. The market the
first half of the week was characterized by
very liberal receipts of common stock and
a limited demand. 1t was very difficult to
effect sales and on Tuesday and Wednes-
day the lowest prices of the season thus far
prevailed. More favorable weather condi-
tons and an Increased demand for meat
caused a rally in the market the last half
of the week and l5Q i0c of the loss in prices
recently was regained. AT the close of the
week the market was in a comparatively
satisfactory condition and no doubt a
larger supply of choice stock could have
been sold at current prices. The receipts
to-day were larger than usual at this time
in the week and different grades were very
we'll represented. The market opened with
a steady demand from local dealers and
the supply was sold in good season at

Opposed to State Pensions.
Editor of The Times:

Editor OF The IlnleS:
Sir,-yNilI you kindly permit a word in
defense of the Senate? We have been
surprised to see the obtuseness of the
Virginia press as exhibited in its crit
cism of the Senates proposition to loot
the treasury for pensions. Nothing IS
palmer than that our solons meant SIM
ply to give the Constitutional Convention
an object lesson. showing the evil of leav-
ing the General Assembly the power to
vote away the peoples money for senti-
mental and political purposes; to show
the possibility. however remote Of cor
porate interests combining with dema-
gogues to kill two birds with one stone
Such being the motive, we shall extend
It a, vote of thanks. Nothing is more
conductive to sound principles than the
practical application of those which are
unsound.
Since the convention had not been suf1i-
GENTLY impressed by the malodorous ma
tional pension system to engraft in our
organic law a provision for5dding the
General Assembly to enact such laws
let us hope that the Senate's wise and pa
triotic demonstration may serve a good
ctl,,posc and bring the convention to
recognize that the evil of pensions Is
not in the imperfecton of pension laws
nor in mob administration, but is found
in the principle itself. There is no right
way to do wrong thing. Realizing this,
we trust the convention may deny the
General Assembly the power to rob the
taxpayers for pensions. The local au-
thorities make ample provision for the
INDECENT poor Why should a. Confed-
crate pauper be made a separate class 10
receive better attention than other paul
pers who may be equally deserving? we

God can foresee the extent to which the
evil will be carried. This is. indeed, a

oil (colored) was taken from the North
ampton county Jail, at Jackson, last night
by a mob and hanged to a tree IN the
Courthouse yard. He was arrested day
O. so ago for a criminal assault upon
Mrs. Lucndy Hill, a highly esteemed
l.dy, living near Garysburg. The crime
was most brutal. The lady was stxty-fve
years old, yet she struggled with her as
sailant desperately, and the brute broke
one Of her arms in the struggle and her
head was cut in three places. he then
choked her into insensibility. He then
fled, but was arrested soon after and
placed in Jail.
THE LYNCHING.
Last night a body Of determined men
appeared at the Jail and demanded the
keys There was no undue excitement
nor drunken mob, but in the dim moon
light the scene was weird in the extreme.
The jailer saw that resistance was use
less so he gave up the keys to the outer
door, but refused to open the cell door.
The men cut the hinges and the wretch
was dragged out into the yard. He plead
Ell his innocence but the evidence against
him was conclusive, he having been seen
by a well known citizen leaving hurrledly
from the spot where Mrs. Hill was soon
afterwards found.
QUICK WORK.
It was but the work of a minute to
place the rope around MitchelIs neck.
and then he was swung up to the nearest
limb. where his body was found swinging
in the early morning breeze.
The crowd quietly dispersed after the
negro was pronounced dead. In fact, SO
clock-lke were the movements of the
lynchers. that the slumbers Of those who
were near by were not disturbed.
The people of Northampton are conser-
vative and law-abiding. and only the
most aggravated case could have induced
them to resort to mob law. The fiend in
human shape was raised on the planta-
ton OF the woman he assaulted, and had
been known by her from his infancy.
THE LYNCHING DEPLORED.
In talking with Captain Thomas w
Mason. of Northampton. to-day. he said
the people of his county were wholly op-
posed to mob law. and that speedy trial
had been asked for Mitchell In order to
carry out the prompt execution of the
law; but. said he, the case was most hor-
rible and brutal and there was a great
provocation. but still he thought it would
have been much better to have allowed
the law to take its course.
