There is no law, no police, no justice bore. Oat poll-books speak nut the voice s of:the people, but the dictates of a mob. We never beard cf - such scenes, much less have . seen theta anywhere. Nor have such ever been witnessed in this -country. This sort of proce.edings was anticipated. It came -fully—up to all that had been threatened, awl surpassed anything anticipated,-onscrupulons, as we know the secret party. If the election io . Louisville -yesterday - was legal and is to stand, then the right of suffrage in Kentucky is a mockery. -There is no fleedotts here and no law. Scoundrolism is-triumphant.

As Meyer came up, Debar dealt him a blow just as his !Wad appeared above the trap door, which Trostrated him to' the cellar's bottom. Mrs. Meyer, seeing her husband thus struck, ran for the woods to call a neighbor. The murderer chased her, aruted with a knife, and - overtaking her, aimed a stab at her neck, cut ting her head half off: A small boy set up a cry. but Debar rendered him senseless-with a blow, and then rifled the house and fired it. In the meantime, Meyer, having recovered from the elfecta - olThe blow, came out of the cellar and ran. for assistance, while 'Debar was trying to throw the boy into the flames. On the arrival of assistance the murderer was gone. Mrs. Meyer had been able to crawl to the building, and the boy was drawn from the tire in a shockingly burned condition. The woman has since died, and the boy is in a dy ing condition. Mr. Meyer's wound was not so serious us to rause apprehensions.
