A Serious Indictment.
open to inspection.

Discussing the recent atrocious
murder of Charles Fitzgerald, the
Vicksburg Herald brings this singing
indictment against the people of Gin
ton, where the crime was COM
mitted:
That this noble hearted man whose
many virtues and engaging personality
had endeared him to a legion of
friends, should have been murdered by
a wretched thief, whom in the line Of
duty Inspector Fitzgerald had detected
in his crime, is a thing sad to con-
template. That the murder was COM
mitted in the presence of a crowd and
not a hand raised to stay the crime,
and his deliberate get away, is scan
dial on the state and shame to the
manhood of Clinton, stains that can
only be lifted by the capture and pun
ishment of the murderer Sorsby. Sure
ly this is one case so fiagrantly wicked
where technicalities of law and tricks
of lawyers will not cheat justice"
For the cowardly assassin who took
the life of a good and true man with
out warning, depriving a beautiful
home and a loving family Of his sue.

We are now told that Republicans
