The two negro brutes, who so fendishly NAL
treated a white woman on Sunday, fearfully ex-
plated their crime yesterday afternoon 4


Early yesterday morning crowd of excited
people commenced collecting around The court
house and jail, demanding that the prisoners
be delivered up to them. The demand was re-
fused, of course, and at noon the crowd disper-
sed. and twas hoped that better counsels would
prevail, and that the guilty wretches would be
left to the due course ofthe law.


But, after noon, the crowd rssembled again
and the excitement had evidently increased,
and continued to increase until about 81
o'clock, when the front door of the Jail building
was broken open with sledge hammer and
the crowd rushed into the Jail How they reach
ed the prisoners we did not learn, but they
were soon dragged forth into the streets, beaten
down with clubs and shot


After they were dead, they were taken up and
hanged to lamp post on the corner of the
street, where they were hanging at late hour
in the evening. They were ultimately, we learn,
taken down and buried


1t was the first scene of the kind ever enact
ed in Evansville, and, for the fair fame of the
city, we hope it will be the last.


Every one exeerates the abominable and bru-
tai crime committed by the negroes, but mob
law is dangerous remedy fer evils of this or
any kind, and all good citizens deplore to resort
to it; and we hope this fearful and summary
punishment will prove such warning that we
shall never again hear of such a crime in our
midst

The officers, who have been in pursuit of the
criminals, have just divulged the facts in a case
of most atrocious act Of villainy which was
perpetrated under the piers Of the Union Depot
last week Thursday. A young German widow,
living in Painesville, whose husband was killed
in the war, had been to Columbus and came TO
this city on the 2:i5 P. NJ. train on that day.
Being stranger in this city, and there being no
opportunity for going on to Painesvlle until
nine o'clock that evening she applied to per-
son whom she took for hack driver or hotel
runner to be taken to a hotel up town, where
she might remain till the evening traind This
wretch told her TO wait a moment while be
should speak to a friend. Re-appearing, he
asked her to go to his carriage near by. She
followed without suspicion, and was conducted
under the piers. ,


She quickly discovered his intent, and start
ed to return, when she was seized by the man
who palmed himself off as athaek driver, and
completely muzzled with handkerchief and
coat, so that she could utter no cry. Herper-
son was then violated by the scoundrel who had
enticed her there, as wen as by three other dew
lis. They left her utterly unconscious When
she came to, late in the evening, she managed 10
crawl out from under the piers, when her moan
ing was heard by several men, who kindly
placed her on board the train for Painesville at
nine o'clock. No arrests have yet been made.

We find the following in the Louisville Jour
nal F.sz,1--rS 80


"On Saturday We had quite a full conversation
with Captain Surgeon, now of St Louis, and
well remembered here as a most popular and
intelligent steamboat commander upon the
western waters. We inquired of him as to the
effect of slave emancipation in his state. He
answered; The effect has been like magic;
since it became certain that the slaves were
about to be emancipated, and especially sines
they were actually and formally emancipated,
lands throughout Missouri have more than doub-
led in value and all the counties of the State
are literally swarming with migrants seeking
homes-we never saw anything like it before


Captain Sturgeon added: If you adopt the
amendment you viii see the same result in Ken
lucky. And we have not doubt oft. Ken
lucky is richer in soil and finer in climate than
any other State contiguous to her, and let her
but wash the one black plague-spot from her
robes, and she viii inhale strength from every
gale and drink it from every stream and foun-
tain. The price of greatness and power IS pro-
fered to her to-day; it is held up within halt
an arms length of her, where she can grasp IL
if she wiII and if she lets the occasion pass un-
improved, soon and most bitterly will she rue
her own folly and perversity.'

Lay him low at set of sun
For his soldier work is done


Bear him on tE

Let its folds above him Fly
He was glad for it to die


Lift it high
Let the martial pipes repeat
Music that to him was sweet,
While the mulfled drum beat,


Slowly beat

Who their lives for others gave ;
Where the green trees grandly wave,


Make his grave
Not because of battle fought,
Not in any good he wrought,
Not in memory's proudest thought,


Trust we aught ;
But that he, in days long past,
On the lord his burden cast,
And the cross of Christ held fast


To the last.
Therefore Christ, whose sign he bore,
Opened wide tor him the door
Where he lives, to die no more,


Nevermore

Each mother is a historian. She writes
not the history of empires or of nations on
paper, but she writes her history on the
imperishable mind of her child. That tab
let and that history will remain indelible
when time shall be no more. That history
each mother will meet again, and read with
eternal Joy or unutterable grief in the far
coming ages of eternity. This thought
should weigh on the mind Of every mother,
and render her deeply circumspect, and
prayerful, an faithful in her solemn work of
training her children for heaven and inn
mortality.


The minds of her children are very sus-
ceptible and easily impressed. A word,
look, frown, may engrave an Impression
on the mind Of child which no lapse OF
time can efface or wash out. You walk
along the sea shore when the tide is out,
and you form characters, or write words,
or names in the smooth, white sand, which
is spread out so clear and beautiful at your
feet, according as your fancy may dictate :
but the returning tide shall in few hours
wash out and efface forever all that you
have written. Not so the lines and char
acters of truth or error, which your con-
duct imprints on the mind of your child
There you write impressions for the ever
lasting good or i'll Of your child, which nei-
ther the foods nor the storms Of the earth
can wash out, nor Deaths cold fingers
erase, nor the slow moving ages ofeternity
obliterate. How careful, then, should
each mother be of her treatment of her
child. How prayerful, and how serious
and how earnest to write on the mind those
truths which shall be his guide and teacher
when her voice shall be silent in death,
and her lips no longer move in his behalf,
in commencing her dear child to her cove

ALTHoUGIr the President gives par
don freely to those excepted in the gem
eral amnesty, unless there are special
personal reasons for refusing it, south
ern capitalists are not satisfied, and are
about to ask him to cancel the $50, 600
exception. A committee at Richmond
has prepared memorial ON the subject,
in which they not only urge that n man
worth that amount is not necessarily
more guilty in respect to the rebellion,
but state that tho exception is having
the effect to paralyze business by the
feeling of uncertainty caused among
capitalists. They say that orders re-
calling capital from Europe have been
revoked, Improvements begun have
been suspended, and n general paralysis
has fallen upon business, and that in
consequence the poor suffer much more
than the rich. If the President, shall
make any change in answer to the pc
titions of these $4,000 men, it will
probably be only to facilitate the pro-
curing of additional pardons, which
will very soon accomplish the purpose
sought; while at the the same time it

THE New York Herald advises the
loyal whites of the South to give the
negroes the suffrage. under certain re-

1t will be great thing if the South an-

occur.

"remove many false Impressions and
unfounded prejudiccs." 1t can't be
done, and:the northern opinions on the
subject are not unfounded. The horri-
bic facts are httested by too manyliving
witnesses all overthe country, and ami
mostly toward the South is deeper on
this than any other matter. We can
forgive their causeless rebellion and the
many crimes committed in its behalf:
but the slow murder of prisoners of war
by starvation, nakedness and exposure
it is not easy to forgive, and it is i'm
possible to feel any emotions but indig-
nation and adherence toward those
guilty of such diabolical crimes. But
the whole South is not to held account
able. No doubt most southern men
condemn and deplore these outrages as
heartilyas we do. If it is impossible
to bring to punishment those who are
guilty, there should at least be n full
investigation, that the whole world
may know who they are; that the brand
of tnfamy may be fixed upon them and
the innocent be relieved of blame.

The following is the conclusion Of Mr. Mont
gomcry Blair's speech, delivered last week, an
abstract of which has been published in The
Republic; and which has created quite SEN
sation for its attacks upon Secretaries Seward
and Stanton:


"The war is over. There is no slavery to
make new one. The passions connected with
it are subsiding. We have great career before
us. Our struggle, bloody and expensive as It
has been, will impart new life to the country
and new impetus to industry. Let us set the
example of inaugurating an era of good feeling.
If have seemed in the reflections have made
in this address upon the distinguished men l
have named, to be animated by different spirit,
let me assure you | have animadverted On
their acts only because they are the represen-
tative men of the unrelenting party, and want
TO show them that their heroes have also need Of
amnesty. am willing that they should have
il. But. on the other hand, should like Judge
Campbell and Mr. Stephens, and others who
have erred, to be -forgiven-that our people
have real peace and share in the Government
their fathers founded and which they have To
maintain And ask this not out OF any feel
ing that the section was born IN Is more my
country than any other. ask it for the sake
of the whole country. Free government cannot
last long in either section with practical dis
memberent of the Union, or with the assertion
by the General Government of greater power
over any one State than the Constitution allows,
or is claimed or would be tolerated in smother.
The military subjection of one section entails in
the end arbitrary government upon BOTH Our
eagle must expand both its wings. Our
National Republic must poise itself ON both
sections if it would move safely ON its glorious
mission"
