There had been Kn-klux outrages in various

from hostility to the Federal Government, bnt
the natural outbreak of men who had no re
dress throughout the forms and administration
of law. The government of the State is de
fective in capacity in all its departments and
had increased the debt eleven millions without
constructing a mile of railroad, a foot of canal,
or school house. When candidate for Governor
last year, he visited every county in the State
bnt one, and never heard any man utter a word
against the Federal Government. Tho oppo
sition was to the corrupt and maladministration
of State government. Members of |the Loyal
League committed outrages, such as murders and
bnming gin-honses before there was Ku-klux
organizations. The people sibmitted quietly
for two years until they found they had no re
dress through elections or forms of law. The
Ku-klux was composed of men of the highest
respectability, organized for iedress and pro

organization. Carpenter testified that the col

Proclamation of Pardon
Ulyses 8. Grant, President of the United
/States—To all whom it may concern, these
presents shall come, greeting :
Whereas, on the 13th day of Jnno, 187T, in
the Snpreme Court of the District of Columbia,
holding a crimisal term, ono O. 0. Bowen was
convicted of bigamy and sentenced to be im
prisoned two years and to pay $250 fine ; and
whereas, it is represented that he was innocent
of liny violation of tho law; that he acted in
good faith, believing his former wife to be
dead, and it appears that he rendered good
service to tho cause of the Union during the re
bellion, and since its termination has endeavored
to lead an honest and upright life, and for these
reasons 11 of the jurors who found tho verdict
against him and many other citizens of the
highest consideration and weight, urge his
pardon, and as tho United States Attorney,
Fisher, wonld bo gratified by tho exercise of
executive clemency, now. therefore, Be
Known, that I, U. S. Grant, President of the
United States of America, in consideration of
the premises, and divers other good and suf
ficient reasons to me thereunto moving, do
hereby grant to tho said C. C. Bowen a full and
unconditional pardon.
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto signed
my name, ond causod the seal of the United
States to bo affixed. Done at the city of Wash
ington this 1st day of July, A. D., 1871, and ot
tho independence of the United States, the

Chicago, July 8.—Tho coroner’s inquest over
the lynched man elicited the following: Mary
Mera, mother of the child, testified as follows
My husband, Martin Mera, whipped my son,
Martin, aged ten years, two weeks ago on Tues
day night. My babe was bom on that day, and
I did not see the whipping. It was done in an
other room. I heard the blows, and heard the
child beg for meroy. The child went to bed
about 10 o’clock. The next morning the child
came to my bedroom followed by his f ather, who
was whipping him very hard with a black snake
horsewhip. The child dodged aronnd the room
to avoid the blows and begged for mercy. The
child was completely naked, his father having
compelled him to strip himself. His face was
swollen from the whipping he received the
night before. His father whipped him very
hard for ten or fifteen minntes. At last he
stopped and told the child to put on his shirt.
He made an effort to do so and fainted. His
father repeated the order, when the boy said,
“ I can’t see, I can’t see.” “ You can’t see it?’
responded his father. “ No, father, I can’t see
you; I can’t see you; I feel like I am dying."
The father rubbed the boy with spirits and
forced some down his throat. The child raised
his hands, moved his lips and expired. Mera
then took the body and put it under the bed
where the sick mother was laying, and it re
mained there until evening, when he buried it.
The testimony of the boy’s sister is still more
horrible.

Chicago, July 8 —Sarah Mera, daughter of
the murderer, aged 14, testified that her father,
after he whipped her brother very severely
with a horsewhip, Tuesday, two weeks ago, he
brought my brother in and said ho had not
worked, nnd whipped and knocked him down
twice. Father continued to whip him, and said
he wonld whip him till he conld not stand np—
he would whip the life out of him. Two or three
times he would Bay this, and brother would
plead with father: “Father, don’t whip me any
more; oh, don’t whip me any more.” I liked
him. Brother went to bed abont 10 o’clook. He
said he did not know why father whipped
him so. He never told stories only when
father made him. Father would say if he didn’t
own up he had done so and so, he would whip
him; and to avoid it brother would own to
things he never did. Wednesday I got up and got
breakfast ready. Father rose when breakfast was
ready, and brother got up. but felt so badly he
went back to bed. Father made him get np
and go out and feed the stock, and when he
came back father whipped him and sent him to
the field. He went for him and brought him
and made him take off his clothes and then whip
ped him and then picked np and laid him on the
stove. Tho stove was hot enough to heat
an iron. I was baking biscuits. Father put him
on the stove twice—brother pleading all the
while, “ Father, don’t burn me.” He screamed
very lond, and his skin stuck to the stove. His
skin came off his back and his feet and stack to
the stove. It seemed so. I opened the door
and father immediately shut it. While brother
was pleading, father said he wonld bum him
till he worked. I havo seen father strike mother
with his fists. Many times he knocked brother
down, several times with the butt-end of a
horse-whip. I never saw my brother after he
went into mother’s room.
Synopsis of Weather Statement.
War Dep’t, Office Chief Signal Officer,)
Washington, D. 0., July 8, 7:40 p. m. )
The barometer has fallen on the California
coast. It has risen to-day rapidly at the Rocky
Mountain Stations. The lowest pressure which
was last Friday evening west of Iowa appa-
rantly has moved north and northeast over Lake
Superior. The barometer still remains quite
low west of Michigan and Illinois, having fallen
since Friday in that region. The area of high
pressure in tho Gnlf has removed westward,
and, with high rains and cloudy weather, ex
tends into Alabama. The temperature has risen
decidedly at most points in the interior of the
country, especially in Wisconsin and Michigan.
Southwesterly winds have continued on tho
South Atlantio coast and now prevail in the
Ohio and Mississippi Valley and on the Lakes.
Threatening and rainy weather has prevailed in
the Northwest to-day, as also on the ooast from
Louisiana to Florida. Severe local storms now
prevail in Southern Michigan and Ohio.
Probabilities: The conditions are favorable
for local storms from Missonri to Lake Ontario
to-night. Threatening weather will probably
extend north of this line. Falling barometer,
with increased clondines3 and local storms, are
probable for Sunday in the Middle and Eastern
States. Southerly winds, with threatening
weather, are probable from Louisiana to South
Carolina.

so-called, are springing np every day. and adver
tised to ephemeral notoriety, die away, these, with
out extravagant puffing, and without promising
more for them than experience would warrant,

nity, until their sale is not now limited to this Con
tinent, and where once introduced as the household
remedy are very seldom if ever discarded. Dr.
