Kearney Pre.a.J The bodies, or rather what remain ef the bodiva, ot Mitchell and Kete hum have been brought to Kearney. They were fonnd. iu a .hallow rave only a vhort distance from the funer al pyre. We have no iutvation of attempting a description of tlieso re mains. The English language docs not contain words, and we have not command cl expres.ions, stiong enough to paint the scene whioh is illustrated by those charred and mu tilated bodies. Imports whioh hiive been received during the past week were sufficient to cause a cry ot in dignation t-; arise from every man in the commenity, bit: the reports are nothing ; s compared with the reality. Ti e two bodies lie upon the table in the undertaking establishment of F. J. Switz. They are burnod blacken ed bejond recognition, destituto of slothing, ears and arms gone, flush cut and gashed, mnscles coutracted, and a look ot horrible agony upon the face of each. The marks of the "loose ropes" are upon their necks, the marks of the hot irons are upon their wrists, and tbo marks of the lor turi g knife are upon their bodies. The kuite did net cut deep enough to kill, but only deep enough to cause the most excruciating torturo to the shrinking victim. Ii this a 3Ui r were without foundation iu fact and m- e ly the creation ef the most sensa tional novel-writer ot this country, it could not be pictured so horrible as it is. The bodies were saturated with oil belore tue match was applied. Tiiey were hung by their manacled wrists just high enough to keep them from gelling away from their barbar ous eaptors, and then they were mu tilated, cut and gashed, and tortured by flames burning the bare flesh from which the skin had been removed, until death, long prayed for, came to put a limit to their terrible sufferings. Such a crime as this has never been committed in this State belore and probably not in any other State dur ing the past twe-ity years. Tho only way to expiate the disgrace which has fallen on the State is to follow up tho criminals red handed and never cease until every oue of those cannibals is brought to the furthest limit which our inadequate laws permit. It this is done it will be all that can be asked. This State is liable like any other to have criminals within its borders who are capable of any crime. The crimes caunot always be prevented, but tho criminals can be hunted down and punished. If every man in Nebraska could but one minute's view of those vomuin now awailinir burial he would ieel as we do upon the question of punishment. It is not our purpose to express any bloodthirsty sentiments, but there is something in the knowl edge of "the skin slipping from the flesh and the flesh dropping from the bones" of any humaa being while that man Is yet alive which awakens pass ion in a man which he would if possi hln annnress. We have seen all the lienors of war, but have never before . ii :n,...,oi'..r. seen any signi bo wu wnni i, the devilish ingenuity ot infuriated men as this. Dew Hie Negro Senator Fccli. When a place on the Elaine Com mittee was offered Mr. Bruce of Mis sissippi, he replied that be really did ,m m how anv trood could result lrora the proposed investigation. I'er ha,,, he aaid. there had been some frauds. It would be strange if there had not been, but his people had just mado the second largest crop oi col inn aver crown in the South, and that circumstance furnished ample evidence, to lis mind, that they were auite as prosperous as tno laoonug ,.'.i.a North. This being the case the colored people ought not to be tirrd ud bv Dolitioal excitement, wl.ir-.h could do no cood, and mmht dr harm bv arousm' anew tue ieei ing ot suspicious dislike of the whites which was dying out wun uie prua ripritv oi the New South. These fen timeuts were f.-lt to be full of the good sense which Mr. Bruce has al ways shown in speaking of a. airs at feeling tbo South and his people. Wo herewith submit to our read ers the law relative to stamps on ci gar and tobacco boxes. "Sec. 3490. unenerer any siarnpeu uui vil laining cigars, cberootc, or cigarettes is emptied, it sbt.ll be the duty of the person in whose hands the same is to destroy utterly the stamps thereon. And any person who willfully neg lects or refuses so to do shall, for each such offense, be fined nt ex ceeding fifty dollars, and imprisonsd not I. se than ten davs nor more than six months. And any person who fraudulently cives away or aceepts trom another, or who sells, buys our uses for packing cigars, cheroots or rief-r.,tee. an inch StamDed box.

Uealt, and an ardent admirer of hie poetry, relates a atory told by him when the two spent a night in con versation, witticisms and recollections, so dear to men of his kind, over a cosy tire and warm decoctions. lie spoke of tho ni"ht before the battle at which Gen. V. S. Lylle fell. The two (Iiealf and Lytle) lay together in the general's tent. They were bolb given "to writing poetry at such limes, and each had an unfinished poem on band, and tbey read and criticised each other's humorously for some time, when Lytle said: "Reals, I shall never livo to iiuish that poem." "Nonsense," said I, "you will live to wtite volumes of such stuff." "A feeling has suddenly come over me," conlinuod the general solemly, "which is more startling than pro phecy, that I shall be killed in to morrow's fight. As I spoke to you I saw the green hills of the Ohio as if I stood among them. They began to recede from mo in a weird way, and as they disappeared the convic tion flalid through ma like lh lightning's shocu that I would never see tbem again." 4'1 rallied him for his superstition, but the bcliet had become strangely impressed upon his mind, and he sue ceeded in so far thrill me with his own unnatural fear, that I askod him to finish his poem ere he slept, that the tine work might not be lost to the world. 'In the small hours tho general awakened me from a slumber into which I had fallen; to read to me that eautitul poem, which must live as eng as our literature survives, begin ning "I am dyinj, lvjypt, . dying: Ebb. the crimson luu-blood fast, "My eves filled with tears as he read. He said not a word as he con cluded, but placed the manuscript ic his pocket and lay down to sieop. Before dawn came the call to inns. When I next saw poor Lytle bci?Ts cold in death among heaps of (skiti I thought ot the poem, and searsniug ihe pocket where I had seen him ul t. drew it lortn and it was xorwaru- ed. anion? other thiiiL's, to his lnends. lie Sure il'i yoar own Wife.

"Aw, Miss Y ," he said, "per mit me to greet you, I know you have have had a very pleassnt trip, abroad." "Yes," she answered, "very pleas ant indeed. I was all over the con tinent and through England, Scotland and Ireland." "Ah, in Ireland, and did you seo the Blarney Stone ?" "les I was there, "Ob, I should so delight to see it. It has always been been a desire of mine to kiss that celebiaied stone, but I have never had tho opportu nity. "Iudced, then you should go there."

In the United States during tho past year 96 murderers (all men) were hanged- -an inoreaso ot 13 over the records tor tho previous year. Of this number 41 were white, 62 ool ored, 2 Indians and 1 Chinaman, Five were hanged for outrage, 4 for wile murder aud 1 filicide. There were 7 double executions, 4 triple and 2 quadruple. Friday retaiaa the reputation of hangman's day, 70 executions having taken place ou that day, The largest number in anyone mouth was In March, 25 exe cutions having then o ured.

NewTkulGhantid. Tho Stand ard says that Whitney, tho man conviclod of tho murder of Hibert, near K'lverton. is granted a now trial b y tbe Supremo Court. This him one more chance for his gives life which may nsult more favorably to him next time.' Tho argument that he cannot e found guilty sec ond time of murder iu the first degreo on the ground that a man cannot bo tried twice tor his life is an error. It a man be convicted be can Do give a new trial, but if acquitted, cannot be triad tho second time for his life.
