OBITUARY.
_Death of an Old Philadelphian.
The Cincinnati Chronicle announces the death
•of Mr. Charles Cist in these terms:
Another of our city's old and highly respected
citizens has departed, in the person of Mr.
Charles Chit. He is reinembered as having been
for a long time one of the most intelligent and
useful of Cincinnati's early business men.
Mr. Ciat was a native of Philadelphia, born on
.April 24, 1792. He married November 18, 1817,
and moved to Cincinnati in 1827. Until 1840 he
was engaged in mercantile pursuits, but having
acquired a taste forliterary labor and the publish
ing business in boyhood, from familiarity with
his father's printing office, he then turned his at
tention in this direction. While engaged in
191cing the general census in this district, he ac
•cumulated a vast amount of statistical infor
mation about the condition of the
city, and published a work entitled "Cincinnati
In 1841." After this he employed his time vari
ously until 1845, when he .began the publication
of a weekly newspaper; styled Ciet'e Advertiser.
In 1852 he was compelled to abandon it for want
of proper support. In 1851 and in 1859 he pub
lished two other volumes in the shape of Direc
tories of the city, similar to that issued in 1841.
He also published a volume of Cincinnati Miscel
lany, containing all the early reminiscences of
the city he could obtain.
Since 1853 Mr. Chit has resided on College Hill,
- where he has been quietly enjoying, with his
family, the serene comfort derived from reflec
tions on a life well spent.

POLITICAL.
The Georgia Outrage.
The New York Tribune, in discussing the ex
pulsion of the loyal members of the Georgia Le
gislature, sue: "A greater outrage has never been
perpetrated under a free Government. It adds
ingratitude to injustice. When the Legislature
first assembled there were some thirty Demo
cratic members who had served in the rebel army,
and who were, therefore, ineligibletooffice. The
negroes might have visited upon them the
merited pains of rebellion, by excluding them,
and insisting upon oaths or conditions of loyalty.
If they had been vindictive men; if they had been
moved by any dread of the future, or any ven
geance for the past, they had only to keep these
rebels from the House and demand the election of
loyal men. These Freedmen had received Suf
frage, and they replied by granting Amnesty.
By a magnanimous and solemn vote they de
creed that the rebel membermhould be admitted
to their seats with all, the rights and privileges of
loyal men. What use do they make of their
new power? A resolution was suddenly intro
duced that, under the new Constitution, men of
color were not permitted to be members of the
Assembly. It seems that under the old rebel law any
man who had more than one-eighth of negro blood
in his veins was ineligible to office. This law
was of no more force than the'laws of the
whipping-post and iron collar. It belongs to a
past era, and is as dead, in all respects, as Slavery
and Rebellion. It was made a precedent, how
ever, and after a little delay a resolution was
passed declaring that twenty-five men who were
supposed to have negro blood in their veins were
not members of the House. Upon this question
the negroee, as parties interested, were not al
lowed to vote. Four other men, who were sup
posed to have less than one-eighth of the negro
blood, were for the present permitted to remain.
"We might challenge this action upon many
grounds. In the first place, we find a law which
Is as dead as the law of primogeniture quietly
disinterred and made to serve an unjust purpose.
If this law isjastly interpreted, then there is no
reason why the Legislature may not remand the
,whole negro race into slavery, and find warrant
In the old State law of Georgia. In the second
place. we find a large body of drily elected legis
lators prevented from voting upon a question
vitally important to the country. Twenty-five
men are suddenly told that they are disfranchised,
and, although duly elected to office, they are re
moved without taking, in any sense, the wish of
the pecplo.
"Granting the Rebel reasons for this outrage
to be valid, twenty-five men might be expelled
from the same Legislature for the color of their
beards, or members of French descent might ex
clude those of Eqglish blood. Any clique of ,
partisans, on the most frivolous charges, might
east out all opposed to their designs, by not a!-
lowing them to vote, on the pretence that they
were interested in the point at issue. We pro
test against the whole proceeding in the name of
Justice, law, and order, and await the judgment
of Congress with a calm consciousness that the
provisions of the XIVEtt Amendment will be car
ried out to the letter, and that the voice of 80,000
, ree voters in Georgia will be respected in her
Legislature.
'• Finally, we protest against this whole pro
ceeding in the name of Justice and Liberty. We
ree nothing but madness in the course of these
Southern people. There can be no motive for
Ibis disfranchisement but the bitterness and
senge of a rebel sentiment, which, unable to
destroy the Union, reeks its petty spite upon
a weaker class. There is grave, ironical dignity
in the 'remark of these colored men in their
protest, that they remained at home to protect
the families of white men while they were en
gaged in lighting to destroy the Union. If these
men were criminals, if they were without in
telligence, if they were unworthy to represent their
constituencies, if they proposed to pass extreme
measures of confiscation, or banishment, or any
revengeful legislation, we could excuse any ex
pressions of temper or passion. But they have
been wise, patient, gentle, most magnanimous,
seeking no advantage from their strength, claim
ing no exclusive privilege, but showing magna
nimity, kindness, nay, even deference to
those who formerly were their masters.
They were men suddenly called to
sew responsibilitit:,, ant, their only crime is
their color. These colored men, driven from the
Georgia Legislature by a base, most infamous,
and most degrading obedience to prejudice,
merely carry their question to a higher court.
They appeal from a company of unwhipped and
stiff-necked Rebels, eager to exercise their petty
power, to the great American people.
Good will come from this temporary
ostracism. • The day for such injustice
passel away when the flag that reormented
Slavery and Rebellion was folded in the valleys
of lower Virginia. Let our friends be patient;
their time is coming swiftly, the protest of At
lanta will soon find a lusty response in Maine,
Pennsylvania and New York, and this will be
the coming of the time when manhood will be
the test of citizenshipand no rebel will dare to
say that , because Gool'has covered a man with the
skin of Asia or Africa or•Earope, he is to receive
anything but equal justice and liberty and the
fullest rights of an American citizen."
The Augusta (Ga.) Republican has the follow
ing :
• • Our despatches state that the colored mem
bers of the House were ousted yesterday. Tills
will take no one by surprise. We were prepared
for It. Indeed, since the keynote of revolution
was sounded by Frank Blair, and re-echoed by
Cobb, Toombs and Hill, we have been prepared
tor any act of treason to the State or resolution
against the government. It will not suffice for
gentlemen to say that negroes ought not to be
permitted to hold office. The negro is confessedly
a citizen, and the constitution of Georgia makes
him eligible to hold office. There
fore we deliberately assert that every member of
the House—not a natural noodle—that voted to
deprive members of seats to which they had
i , cen legally elected, because they had black
skins, was recreant to his duty as a representa
tive, and violated - the obligations which he as
sumed when he took an oath to support the new
Constitution. It only remains for the Legislature
to consummate its record of infamy by legislating
twenty-three Democrats, defeated before the
people, into the seats which rightfully belong to
men with whiter principles,if they do have blacker
skins."
The same paper says:
"Before the ratification of the new constitu
tion the following men said that it gave the black
man the right to hold office; viz.. Ben. Hill,
Judge Reese, Judge Cabiness, Judge Lochrane,E.
H. Pottle, Bob Toombs, Carey Styles, Thomas
Hardeman, Dr. Ridley, P. W. Alexander, P. M.B.
Young, R. J. Moses, Howell Cobb, the Lamers,
Judge Irwin, together with every Democratic
newspaper and every little Democrat in the State
—including Ranse Wright."
WHY THE MEMBERS WERE EXPELLED.
The correspondent of the New York Tribune,
writing from Atlanta concerning the recent oat-
rage, says :
Yesterday was enacted in this city ono of the
most remarkable scenes which has been exhibited
In the strange, eventful drama of reconstruction
in Georgia. The chosen and elected Representa
tives of onehalf the legal voters of Georgia were
ignominiously ejected from their seats in the
lower House of the General Assembly, by the
Representatives of the other half. All
but four of the colored members of the
House were found guilty of having negro blood
in their veins, and for this crime were punished.
That this was the sole cause of their expulsion is
proved by the reasons given for excepting the
four who were retained. Thlv were excepted
rfor the pita:UV—because the Democrats choose
to assume they bad less than one-eighth Afri
can blood, while the twenty-fiver expelled were
alleged to have more. No proof was offered of
either assertion. The twenty-five wore acknow
ledged to have as good title to their seats as the
four, but the latter were of somewhat lighter com
plexion than the twenty-five, and the Democrats,
sitting as a jury, decided by inspection that the
twenty-five were guilty and the four were inno
cent of being negroes. Why they , should have
spared the four when they could just as easily
have expelled them is inexplicable, unless upon
the theory that they might thereby gain some
credit for magnanimity, or that they cared not to
expel more than was necessary to give them an
assured majority of two-thirds. Those excepted
were as much Republicans as those who were ex
pelled,yet it was more because they were Republi
cans than because they were negroes that the latter
suffered. But the four favored ones are only re
prieved—they have only the poor privilege of
being the last to be destroyed. A resolution has
been Introduced to inquire into the quantity of
negro blood in their veins, and their late is pre
determined—yet one of these men proved to the
satisfaction of one of a previous committee that
be was a Frenchman born in Paris, that he was
brought to South Carolina at arkearly age by his
parents who soon ' after, died. and to gain
possession of some little property be was
heir to, the managers of his father's estate
sold him he a slave in Georgia. He has not for
gotten his native language, but speaks very pure
Parisian French. Another of these four was a
captain In the Federal army commaned white
troops, fought in many of 'the most importsnt
battles in Virginia, was with Sherman in his fa
mous march to the somas dangerously wounded,
and twice a prisoner of war. Neither of these
men could be taken for colored men if met on
Broadway, but they have pleaded guilty of being
of African blood, and they will be punished for
it. Such are the beauties of Southern Democ
racy.
ISOIITII CAROLINA.
Eloquent Address of the Negroes to the
Native Whites.
The negroes of South Carolina have issued an
address to their white fellow-citizens of that
State, the principal points of which are these:
711 E REASON FOR TUE ADDRESS.
"F'ellow-citizens: We, the colored citizens of
Charleston, address you, in answer to two very
remarkable addresses which you have of late
issued in this city respecting us and our race in
this city and State. Yon have first addressed
a communication to the white people of
this city and State, and in fact to the whole
world, In which you have been pleased to
allude to our race in such a manner and In such
terms as to place us in a false light before all
mankind, attributing to us motives and designs,
aims and determinations of revenge, rapine, ar
eon. murder, pillage and violence such as we
never entertained for a moment, nor had any rea
bon to perform or attempt; you have in that spe
cial address to the whiten of this State, and to
the whole country, charged us with seeking to
destroy your property, to bring on a war of
races, and thus inaugurate a reign of terror, each
of 3 did prevail here during the late unhappy war,
which charge we emphatically deny as ground
ices.
-In your last address to the colored voters,
sanctioned by authority of the Democratic party,
ou have assumed to direct us in the exercise of
our rights as freemen; you have claimed in the
iiret paragraph to be 'our best friends,' that 'we
are naturally your friends, and yon are naturally
our friends; any other relations between us are
unnatural and injurious to both; Your protest --
;ions of friendship certainly demand of us a proper
and respectful recognition and acknowledgment;
we should be devoid of that high characteristic
which has been the redeeming feature in our na
tional character, under the most cruel and un
christian treatment ever inflicted by a civilized
nation upon their 'friends.' We do at all times .
and in all places appreciate kindness bestowed,'
and we are ready at all times to concede to our
friends whatever demands they may make upon
us, when such demands do not involve the sur
•encler of our manhood and the degradation of
our wives and children. You have been very
kind in laying down a line of conduct for us in
the political arena.
"It may be that our 'ignorance and unciviliza
tion,' our inc tpacity' to comprehend the true
meaning of English words and the position of
the parties now contending for the supremacy in
the government of this country, is a saffictent
reason why we do not understand or 'see it' in
the same light with you.
* * "You find fault with us because we
cave, by our political action, elevated Northern
white men to offices of remuneration and trust,
because we have not put intelligent colored men
into position. To this we can but reply, that
von were all arrayed against the measures of re
construction—your intelligent white men would
cot take part in the politics of the State, you
opposed every measure which Congress offered
to this and the other States lately in rebellion:
our best men, your newspapers and orators, all
urged your race not to take part in the recon
struction of the State under the acts of Congress.
THE BLACK CODE."
"You acted on that advice, you did nothing to
encourage us, you derided the idea of granting us
the right to vote; when your legislature met in
1865-66; you passed that infamous Black Code,
a hick is a disgrace to civilization; in that you
denied us all rights in common with all other peo
ple in the State; you by these acts denied our
children the school house; you imposed penalties
on us which were not imposed on white men:
there were crimes which, if committed by a white
man he was imprisoned, but if committed by a
clack man he was hung. We submit to you
whether that course was not enough to make us
disbelieve every protestation of love you make.
Your laws provided for taking and binding out
uur children-and subjecting us to all manner of
disabilities; we could not pursue any trade or
calling in this State without a written permission
from some white man ; we could not sell any
article of barter without the consent first ob
tained from some magistrate; with all these facts
before us, and your Negro Code before us, and
the penitentiary filled with our race, as the re
sults of your ;legislation and the acts of your
judges and lawyers, do you not see why we have
been constrained to trust to strangers rather than
to those who claim that they are our natural
friends?
"We cannot surrender the great palladium of
our liberties—the ballot-box—for any considera
tion whatever. And lf we are to be massacred
because we refuse to vete the Democratic ticket:
if we are to be murdered in cold blood because
we will not sell our manhood, then let it come
—we can die but once ; and if, as you state
thirty millions of white men are going to fail
upon four millions •because they are black
and will not vote for Horatio Seymour
and F. P. Blair for President and Vice-
President of the United States, both of whom
have declared that the negroes have no right to
vote, then we are prepared to die, but not to vote
to be killed. With a strong faith in God and
eternal justice we wait the decision of high
Heaven. If our cause be just, God will not suffer
us to fall; with a firm faith in the right we ask
nothing at the hands of our fellow-man but a
fair chance In the race of life, and equal oppor
tunities for ourselves, our wives anu our children.
We ask no more."
F. P. Blair, Jr., ou General Grant.
After the fall of Vicksburg, General F. P. Blair
made a speech at St. Louis, in which he
said:
"You will permit me, I know, coming back
from Vicksburg—the scene of our recent conquest
—to say what ought to be said and what now
dwells in the heart of every officer and soldier in
Grant's army, that to Major-General Ulysses S.
Grant is due the great and chief honor of those
great achievements which have been per
formed by his army. And when any ambitions
and vainglorious chieftain,. comes back and
attempts to claim for himself the great
deeds which have immortalized, and ought to
immortalize, fgreneral Grant, the whole army of
Grant, the whole army engaged in that expedi
tion,
will repel the idea; and we ;will , proclaim
everywhere that the leading spirit, the great chief
and leader of the expedition'was General Grant.
"We claim for ourselves only that we sought
OUR WHOLE COUNTRY.
with cordiality and cheerfulness, with such cour
age as we possessed, with such endurance as we
were endowed with, to carry out hisplarm; and we
did so successfully."
The "vainglorious chieftain" that Blair re
ferred to was General Jehn A. MeCiernand, now
the head and front of the Democracy of Illinois.
Contrast the words of Lee's letter with the
words of the Southern orators who caught at the
nomination of Seymour and Blair as the begin
ning of a new hope for the "lost cause." Lee
and his associates say :
"Whatever opinions may have prevailed in the
past in regard to African slavery, or the right of
a State to secede from the Union, we believe we
express the almost unanimous judgment of the
Southern people, when we declare that they con
sider that those questions were decided by the war,
and that it ht their intention In good faith to abide
by that decision. At the close of the war the
Southern people laid down their arms, and sought
to resume their former relations with the United
States Government. Through their State Con
ventions they abolished slavery, and annulled
their ordinances of secession; and they returned
to their peaceful pursuits with a sincere purpose
to fulfil all their dutlea under the Constitution of
the United States, which they had sworn to
support."
Wise jumps to his feet In Richmond and says,
"secession is more alive than ever." Vance says
"the South will gain all It fought for in the re
bellion." Semmes says he fought the war on the
principles of Democracy, and. how the "grand
old Democratic party has risen from its long
slumber." Albert Pike says, "Swear eternal
hatred to your oppressors. Swear that no
Northern man shall cross the Susquehanna and
the Ohio and live. Slaybach says, "By the elec
tion of Seymour and Blair the South
gains what they had fought for."
Judge Jones thinks "State Rights" will be
re-established by the Democratic party. Law
ton says " the great principles for which we
fought may be achieved." The Memphis Appeal
says : " The day will come when the South will
be independent.' Wade Hampton says:' "Never
shall I admit that the cause itself failed, and that
the principles which gave It life were wrong."
We could multiply quotations ad infinitum.
But enough have been given to show that the
Southern people do not concur with Lee and his
friends in saying that the secession question was
"decided by the war."—N. 1. Commercial.
Characteristic Letter from floury
'Baird Beecher.
Henry Ward Beecher has sent the following
letter to the Printers' Grant and Colfax Club in
Washington:
PEEKSK ILL, N. V., Sept 4, 1868.—Mr. G. IV.
Scheirer.—DEAß SIR: I received duly the notice
of my election as an honorary member of the
Printers' Grant and Colfax Club. of Washington
city. I accept the honor with pleasure, and
shall co-operate with you in every just measure
for the victory of those fundamental principles
of moral and good government of which Grant
and Colfax are the expositors. Revolutions do
not go backwards, and I have every confidence
that the conscience and intelligence which
led this great nation to resist slavery
sad to defeat it will now refuse to
put the government into the very hands
which either were raised against it or
which refused to help in its defence. The new
adhesion of impatient Southern men to the very
worst type of democratic doctrine ever enuncia
ted since the party went into alliance with slavery
cannot but be as disastrous for the South a., was
its league with the same party before the war.
The democratic party seems fated to lead the
South into desperate steps, and then to be utterly
unable to help those whom it has deluded. It
will be so again. Utterly lost to all moderation, the
t'anrfntion in \eu' York boss laid down a platforlic
which will briny civil war to the South again, unless
it is prevented by Me victory °lac Republictin party,
I um very truly yours,

Addres% of the Republican State Coin
tuattee of Delaware.
Tu the Republicans of Delaware: Comrades in
tr a Good Cause:—Success rewards our efforts.
Shall we pause? Our opponents were confident
of carrying Wilmington. Never before were
they so well organized at a city election. Yet
we have largely increased our Republican ma
jority. They hoped to reduce our majority i n
Vermont, but thousands are added to it.
These are but the advancing surges of
the great tide of Republican victory.
All over the nation the people are alive
with enthusiasm for Grant and Colfax, the
frienda-kifvertce, the opponents of new wars and
new revolutions. Upon this tide every Northern
State will carry them triumphantly into their
high placts. Our friends in other States say to
the Republicans of Delaware:—"Will you turn
back in this great work ? Will you not stand by
your sister States in November ?" Is this appeal
in vain ? Shall we not hear and respond ? Wil
mington will do better yet in November. New
castle county acknowledges no "family" domi
nation. With these to start on, and the glorious
prestige of national success to aid us, shall we
not work, work, worn: ?
A Memphis correspondent of the New York
thune speaks as follows of the outrages prac
ticed by the rebels in that section :
In the county immediately opposite itlemi,thif ) ,,
Ku-Klux organizations rule the community as
they please, in defiance of all law. No loyalist,
black or white, is safe for an hour, and in some
localities Union men congregate together in
small squads at night and barricade the doors
and windows ere they dare go to sleep. The
old Rebel element are all armed; and apparently,
at least, all banded together.
In our own county of Shelby, too, not ten
miles from Memphis, it is a common thing to
hear of Ku-Klux gangs visiting the negro cabins
iu search of arms, and intimidating the blacks by
threats in case they fail to vote for Seymour and
Blair.
Ae' , calorie of our rebel press to the contrary,
few Union men believe that outside of a few of
the Eastern counties of the State, and Memphis
and Nashville, it would be possible to-day to hold
an election under the franchise law save by mili
tary protection. "
The seemingly most plausible theory of those
Union men wile carefully . scan appearances about
them seems to be that the whole is a well-con
certed and systematic effort to control the whole
of the Southern States for Seymour and Blair by
the same system of tactics so successfully inaugu
rated in Mississippi in defeating the constitution
there.
Thus the whole of the Southern States are to
be reconstructed again and.placed in control of
the old rebel element; the immense sacrifices of
the loyal North in the Rebellion come to naught;
carpet-baggers leave for more congenial climes;
the "nigger" is kicked into his proper sphere,and
the Rebels accomplish through the ballot what
they lost through the ballet.

LERO,7I NEW YOBS.
I Corregpondenee of the Phila. Evening Bullettal
NEW Your:, Sept. 8, 1868.—We are now having
clear weather again, for which some of us are
deeply grateful. The last heavy rain, which began
on Thuriday and did not hold up one minute in
thirty hours, was the cause of great consterna
tion among those who do not watch the almanac;
and as a matter of course, it was set down as one
of the most remarkable of rains on record. Yon
and I have seen a hundred just like it.
Next to the great shower, the Rosecrans (=n
en down in Virginia, the arrival of the great
French billiard player, and the last match be
tween the Atlanties and Athletics, yesterday,
nothing occupies much of the public mind more
than the coming gubernatorial election. Hoff
man's friends are confident that he will receive
the heaviest vote ever polled in the State for
a Democratic candidate, and the backers of
Griswold are equally sanguine on the other side.
The excitement has not fairly commenced yet,
and it would not be sinful, f hope, to pray that it
might never commence; for New York in elec
tion times is like unto a suburb of Pandemonium,
and not like the godly city which the Knicker
bockers reclaimed from savagery and bequeathed
to civilization.
The match between the Athletics, of Philadel-
phia, and the Atlantics, of Brooklyn, was played
yesterday in the latter city, and resulted in
another victor for the Quakers—the second
within a week. The first match was played in
Philadelphia. Since 1856 the Atlantics have been
looked upon as the masters of the game of base
ball, but they must uow acknowledge their in
feriority to the Philadelphians. whose play can
not be equalled. Although not a professional
player, I am sufficiently a judge of the game to
know that the Athletics are splendid fly-catchers,
and as batters, are like a regiment of ancient
rums, such as was used in bringing down the
enemies' walls in the olden time. In their field
ing they are glorious, as if born and
brought up on the Champ de Mars.
Where they learned to throw balls it
would be hard to guess. Perhaps from the story
told in Sam..XXVI, wherein it is related that Saul
was hunting for David in the hill of Hachilah,
N 9 bleb is before Jeshimon, and that when ho lay
in the trench " the people pitched round about
him." For the Athletics can pitch round about
anybody. They fire balls around corners, and
through things of a tough nature, with a certainty
and vim truly astonishing. These Athletics bathe
in oil, and arc much like eels in their adeptibility
to circumstances. They play base ball a great
deal, and when they rise from their sleep they
play more. They are always fly-catching, field
ing, pitching and batting. They lunch on muf
fins, but never dine, because they have not time
lor it. Is it any wonder that they beat everybody
they play with
Rudolph, the French billiard player, is about
as expert with the Ivory spheres as the Athletics
are with their leathern ones. He has beaten
everybody thus far except young Foster, and
him be cannot beat. Rudolph plays with right
or left band, with two cues at once, with bridge,
mace or finger, and astonishes all who watch
mm. He throws a ball into the middle of the
table, and after spinning there awhile, it comes
to his hand as unerringly as if it were moved by
instinct. He plays on two tables at the same
time, caroms on bails in the air, and, in short,
does anything which it is possible for a man to
do with billiard balls. I may mention here that
Rudolph is about to give exhibitions, and 'that
Foster and Deery are about to play a match for
t 250, at Cooper Institute.

TRAGEDY IN KENEUORY.
!Murder of a Whole Family!
The Louisville Courier of Sept. t; furnishes the
following particulars of a terrible murder :
One of the most appalling tragedies that ever
occurred in this section of the country was en
acted on last Thursday afternoon, in a lonely
spot in the dense forest leading from Randolph
station, on the Louisville and Nashville railroad,
some ten miles south of this city. The point at
which it transpired is known as Lost Island, or
Pond Island, and is in the midst of the forest,
with no human being nearer than two miles, the
distance to Randolph station.
It appears that an industrious German, known
as Charcoal John,occupled with his family,a little
log house. The family consisted of his wife,an in
fant child. and a little daughter live years of
age.
Yesterday morning some itinerant passing near
the house was horrified at discovering the body
of John lying not far distant in a pool of clotted
blood, his skull broken in and brain oozing from
the .frightful wound, which had evidently been
made with an axe. A portion of one of the mur
dered man's ears had been hewn off, and his face
was coated with stagnant blood, an unrecogniz
able mass of human gore. About sixty yards
from the father was another horrible spectacle.
Here lay the dead bodies of the mother and her
infant child. Her skull had also been broken, and
there was a fearful gash in her throat, probably
from a blow intended to sever her head. The
head of the child was also broken, and both
were covered with blood. Still further on was a
spectacle even more ghastly, if that were pos
sible. This was the little daughter, only five
years of age. She lay stone dead, her right
shoulder literally cleft from its place,and a fright
ful gash descending deep into the body, the blow
evidently having been struck while the poor child
was endeavoring to escape the clutches of the
murderer of her parents and her sister.
It is not positively known who the fiendish per
petrator of this bloody butchery is.
The bed in the house wasfound to be torn open.
and the money gone, showing conclusively that
the object of the atrocious crime was solely
plunder.
