SENTINEL & REPUBLICAN MIFFLINTOWN. ffedaesday, Dec'r 5, Itst. B. F. SCIIWEIEK, emtob asd raorairroa. Message of President Hayes. The extra session or Congress came to an Mid, and the ref otar session began on Hon day. President Hayes scot in a message, as is usual on such occasions. Ths massvge treats of affairs or the South, restates tbe President's course relative to South Carolina and Louisiana, and main tarns that he is right and Constitutional in all that he has done, and that tbe effect of his policy has been most beneflchtl, giving pesca and credit to the country. Tbe President believe in a gold and sil ver currency. He declares that peace exists between the United States and all other nations. Tbe placing of troops along the Mexican border is not a menace of war, but simply a mea sure to render life and property along the border sore secure. On the question of Civil Service he stands a before, quoting tbe Cincinnati platform and bis letter of acceptance. He does not desire to contend with Senators with what may be called their prerogatives. The Military, and Navy, and Post Office departments are mentioned approviugly. The District ot Columbia, Agriculture, the Washington Monument, and a few other points are dwelt on. It is a document to which little objection will be urged. Kellogg and Butler both in the United States Senate. At 2 o'clock co Saturday morning tbe United State Senate eame to a vote on tbe question of seating Kellogg from Louisiana, and Butler from South Carolina. Both were admitted to a rat During tbe consideration of the questions that seated Kellogg and But ler, Senator John J. Patterson deliver ed a speech, and as bis attitude on tbe question has awakened tbe attention of tbe whole country, we publish tbe fol lowing remarks from bis speech on Fri day afternoon, so that tbe people of bis native count j niaj know wbat be said : MR. rATTEHSON'B POSITION. Mr. Patterson (S. C.,) said : 1 bave already announced my intention of vot ing to seat M. C. Butler as Senator from South Carolina. 1 will vote as cheerfully to seat William Pitt Kel logg as SeBator from Louisiana. 1 bave resisted every motion to give tbe Kellogg case precedence, because, by a vote of tbe Senate, tbe case of Mr. Butler was brought before tbe Senate first. Had tbe case of Mr. Kellogg been brought before tbe Senate first 1 should bave voted a steadily against displacing it. In maintaining tbe title of Mr. Butler to a scat in this body I but recognise tbe logie of political vents. Those events were not tbe re sult of any act of mine. They were moulded by tbe band of anotoer. It is unnecessary for me to review in de. tail tbe causes tbat led to the assumed triumph of tbe Democrats in South Carolina at tbo last election. It was, in my judgment, tbe triumph of might over right. It was not won by any of tbe just and lawful method known to our eleotive system of government. To achieve it a free ballot was crumbed in the iron grasp of armed force. This was my judgment in February and Mareb last, based upn tbe testimony set forth in tbe memorial to Congress, signed by tbe Republican State officers and Senators and Representatives in the General Assembly. He referred to tbe boiror which went through tbe hearts of tbe Republicans when it be. came known that the President contem plated withdrawing tbe troops, and tby crowded tbe National Capital to make solemn protest and earnest appeals against an act which they were bound to bold as tbe foulest treachery and the most undeserved and untimely wrong of which tbe history of political parties furnishes any record. They were yet loyal to their party, and bad never be trayed their trust, and dil not expect to be themselves betrayed. Tbe Re publican officials who constituted the Board of State Canvassers guarded the integrity of the electoral vote with a fi delity which neither threats of personal violence nor the mandate of judicial authority could swerve from tbe path of duty. There was no hint triveu tbeni tbat upon tbe accession of Mr. Hayes to the i'resideucj be would remove the troops whose presence alone enabled these officers to exercise the functions of tbe offices to which they bad been fairly eleeted. Xo such coming event cast its dark shadows through tbe bars of their prison in December, 1876. Verily may the Republicans of South Carolina and of tbe entire South ex. claim, "I bave been wounded in the bouse of my friends." Tbe arm tbat struck tbe fatal blow was nourished by their devoted and unsuspecting service. Whik tbe President was known to be meditating this act, which "let slip tbe deg of war" opon tbe Republicans of the South, some of the Republican Senators who Dow assail me with barsb criticism, because I vote according to tbe diotates of my judgment and my conscience upon questions which is in no ptoper sense a party question, were either coldly neutral or were actively giving aid and comfort to tbe Hampton overument 1 repudiate and disown the authority of such as these to pass judgment upon my fidelity to tbe Re. publican party. I remember, sir, the tremendous political crisis of last March whrn tbe fate not only of tbe Repub'i. ran party, but of this great nation seemed to hang in tbe trembling bal ance. Thero were "whispers of boly or unholy alliances' then, and it was spoken in tones louder than "whispers" that the distinguished Senator fiom New York, now tbe Republican Achilles of tbe Senate, would either join tbe war against bis Republican cocpeers r retire in moody wrath to bis tent, bearing no part in tbe battle tbat was big with tbe fate of bis party. Yet my voice, sir, did not swell tbe eurrent of false surmise that imputed meditated perfidy to tbe honorable Senator from New York. Mr. President, 1 cannot refrain from noticing briefly, and jus tir lo myself demands tbat I should notice it, the ferocious attack made up on me by tbe Seaator from Vermont j.Mr. Edmunds). Tbat Senator read opon the floor of the Senate on last .Monday a libelous artiole against me, written by some unknown person. Tbat artiels, false, scandalous and malicious was retailed to tbe country by the hon orable ?ea'rr, who virtually gave to it the weight and sanction of bin high an. thority by making it the declared ground of a resolution, submitted to the Seo. ate, to investigate eonduet whioh it most falsely imputed to me. and which I bad, from my place in the Senate, most solemnly denied engaging in. While the gentlemen was thus engaged in making tbis malignant attack upon mr be disclaimed all personal bostility to me, and expressed his regret that bis sense of duty compelled him tbus to move in vindication of "the honor of the Senate." The old Scotch poet, Ferguson, must bave gated with the eye of prophesy into the future when he wrote the verse : "In robes of sawming troth and trust Came slv dissimilation ; And underneath a gilded crust Larked dirty di tarnation." Tbe majority of tbe Senate, by their vote upon tbe motion of the Senator from Vermont, decided that "the hon or of the Senate" did not require that tbry should give their sanrtion to a proceeding in whijli an honorable Sen. a tor converted himself into a mere huckster of anonomous libels. KEAOT TO MEET THE INDICTMENT. Id regard to the indictment sgarusi me, I desire to say tbat I am ready to meet it bofore any impartial jury of my countrymen, but not in tbe tribunal in which tbat indictment has already fore stalled tbe judgment of the jury and denied tbe accused the privilege of an impartial bearing. He went on to say that tbe bill was found on the 30th ot August, and tbat two days before the Presidiug Judge addressed the grand jury to his detriment. This Judge counseled against the accused, and evoked the bate and passiou of civil war and political excitement against biui by branding hiui as "a creature of uiilitarp conquest." Mr. Patterson argued that M. C. Butler bad no connection with the Ham burg riot, that the Hampton Govern ment had been recognised by the Pres. ident and Supreme Court of South Caroliua. He commented on tbe ad ministration of Governor Chamberlain, and said at one time be was acceptable to tbe Democrats of South Carolina, and, again commenting on tbe policy of tbe admiuistratioo, said the reason the Hamburg rioters were not punished laid with tbe mau wboin we placed in tbe V bite House ; that's the mau who -backs the arm of justice tbat murder, ers may go free," aud yet Seuators talked to him about leaving tbe Repub lican patty. Tbe man at the other end n f flu. iinnni mm rofinnrmi hlo for Ihiwa . "-'I' Hamburg criminals ot beine punished.! He was ibe uiin who protected mur. derers but wanted thieves seut to tbe penitentiary. Other Senatois bad tbs right to vote agaiust Piuchback, and he had the same right to vote for But. ler. Freedom of opinion was granted them, but with hiui a different course bad been pursued aod be bad been de nounced and vilified. Distinguished I Cabinet officers could leave tie ranks ; and vote for the nominees of the Balti- more Convention, and on tbeir return bive the farted calf killed, lo bis (oo how diffUrntil' U hen HiH the nnoa tion ol high privilege ol admitting a Senator on the floor become partisan .' It was one of law and justice, aod be wis actuated by no other motive. Con. tionU'g, be said : 1 shall not permit myself to be drawn iuto any turther discussion of the efifjct here or rise where I tba!I bear in silence, with such philosophy as I may command, tbe sneers of euemies. th vituperation of blackguards and tbe criticinm of friends. One thing may as well be an il ers too J. i am, ana sball remain as long a life lasts, in heart, soul aod ac tion, a Republican, true to its tradi tions and principles, and all tbe labor employed to drive mr out of its organ ization or make me falter iu its devo tion to buinan principles will be utterly thrown away. AN ATTACK ON THE SOCTHEHN POLICT. Mr Patterson then referred to the habit of sneering at people who moved South for any purpose whatever, and took up the President's Southern pol icy, which be said was damagiog to tbe to tbe Republican party. It meant tbe abandonment of political friends to conciliate political foes. It luvolved, so he understood, tbe resurrection of tbe old Whig party; but this was im posible. W batever tbe p-dicy in the ory it was certaiuly 09 protectioc for the Republicans in the Southern States. It was built in a broken political trust and its corner stone was laid in black ingratitude. But tbe Republicans were not dead tbey were ouly sleeping, and time would avenge tbis great wrong. He believed Hampton was an honor able man, but benign as were his pur poses there was a power behind tbe throne strooger than the tbrooe itself, and be sat silent and inactive while tbe State was terrorised and Republicans were crowded into the jail at Columbia through a flagment pjlitioal conspiracy prosecuted by Democratic officials against them under tbe forms of law. Patterson voted for Butler aud for Kellogg. " A HUXDBED lashes is a forfeiture winch can be taken with more pre cision than Sbjlock'a pound of flesh. A negro living near Warrenton, Oa., recently asked a white neighbor to lend him some money. The capital ist declined, on the ground that there was no chance of his getting it back. The applicant voluntarily offered to pay the penalty of a hundred lnslies if he failed to meet his obligation at the appointed time. The money was not repaid, and on Monday a week the creditor proceeded to take the debt ont of the negro s hide. When he had got fifty dollars' worth, "White told Black that he could go on the farm and work out the remainder, but the latter insisted that the debt should be cancelled with the lash, according to the bond, and it was done." Tbe loss of property by floods bas raised the question in city papers why there is no insurance against such looses. The National Grange at Cincinnati on the 27th nit., adopted a resolution declaring tbeir disapprobation of laws demonetising silver and committing the government arbitrarily to anv nxec day in tbe future for tbe resumption of specie payments, and expressing sym pathy with tbe effort now being made in Congress for tbe repeal of these mea sures.

She positively identified Roper as the man who endea-vord to outrage her, after which he was taken to the court house and hanged from the third story window, in the presence of about 2,000 persons. PBOMTXEXT CITIZENS, WEARING KO MASK3, COMPOSE THE EXECTTTIONXBS A HOB BIBLE SCENE. The following particulars are giV en of the hanging of the negro Ro per, alias McGhee, at Columbia, Ten nessee, for an infamous assault upon Miss Betty, daughter of Rev. A. Templeton, a few days previous. Notwithstanding an agreement to let him rest till morning large crowds lingered all night on the streets. By daybreak fully twenty-five hundred men were gathered in the square, clamoring angrily for the negro scoun dreL Mayor Williamson made a long address, imploring them to reflect, and leave Roier to the law. Other prominent citizens followed in a like j strain, but without avail. The crowd increased, and as a last resort the Mayor appointed a committee of twenty-five, on which were two ne groes, to take Roper from the jail to Miss Templeton's house for identifi cation. The committee did so, fol lowed by an immense crowd. When the negro was brought in the pres ence of the lady she said, fiercely : "You are the wretch 1" Meanwhile the crowd in the square had thrown from the Court House window a ban ner, with the inscription in black : "The Will of the People." Under neath were a skull and cross-bones. A tackle block had been attached to the window of the third story, on the south side, from which a long rope, each end touching the ground. When Miss Templeton had identified him, Roper was snatched from the officers surrounded by a hundred men, with cocked pistols, and soon brought to the square. The committee called the crowd to order, and they unani mously gave a verdict that Roper should die immediately. The rope was placed round his neck and he was hoisted slowly up thirty feet or so. Some of his clothes soon drop ped of He was lowered to the ground, and, his raiment being pin ned on, he was pulled up again. The body writhed in frightful contortions the hands grasping at the air. The face was entirely uncovereiL the mus cles contracted, the eyes and tongue protruded, making a most horrible spectacle. After hanging forty-five minutes, the body 'was lowered. The mob wore no masks, and was com posed of the most prominent citi zens of the community. The officers of the law were completely power less. There is no doubt of Kper's guilt. There was blood on his shirt, and two buttons torn off during the struggle coincided with those on his vest Some time ago he committed a similar crime in Mobile, and for his capt-ire $1,000 reward is standing. tu u,,,;.,, ,.t i, ... . .. thing had been suspended entirely for three days. the culprit's cbive. A special from Columbia says : Nothing for years has created so much excitement in this place as Ro per's attempt to ravish Miss Temple ton. She is in her nineteenth year, very pretty, and a general favorite in the community. About seven o'clock hist Saturday morning she had ocra sion to go into the yard. When she was about fifty yards from the house sne encountered liper, wno was skulking around. She asked him what business he had there. With but replying the negro sprung at her throat choked her severely, and forc ed her to the ground A terrible struggle ensued, during which Miss Templeton's clothes were torn, and her neck and other portions of her body bruised. For five or ten min utes the struggle lasted, Roper bran dishing a knife above her head, and threatened to cut her throat if she did not yield. Finally finding his strength was not sufficient to accom-1 plish his hellish purpose, he ceased, ! and threatened her with immediate death if she did not swear not to be tray him. Believing it was the only way to save her life and honor, she consented, and he made her place her left hand on her heart raise her right to heaven, and call on God as a wit ness that she would not tell on him. Roper then fied by the back way. Miss Templeton returned to the house. The famiiv noticing her pal lor and nervousness, saw something was wrong and began to question her. Deeming the pledge she had given Roper sacred and binding, she refused to tell, and it was fifteen or twenty minutes before she could be persuaded to reveal all. Her father, finding his daughter had suffered no material harm, thought at first of keeping the matter secret but on ma ture deliberation concluded to make it public. The news acted like a fire brand. The Public Square was al most crowded in an hour after the alarm. Threats to lynch were made on all sides, and that seemed the un animous sentiment The Criminal Court was adjourned, business en tirely suspended, and squads of twen ty to fifty men on horses were soen scouring the country in every direc tion. Roper had over an hour's start and made good use of it All efforts that day failed. So intense was the excitement that crowds lingered around the square and telegraph of fice all night hoping men would come in with the negro. The search was renewed Sunday. A suspicious ne gro, as before reported, passed through Prospect The next heard was his capture at Athens, Ala., sixty-two miles south, by two gentle men from Columbia. Roper has giv en bis name at different times as Frank McGhee, West Gibbs and George Roper. He was a desperate negro, very black, and an escared convict from the Alabama Peniten tiary.
