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.

Pittsburg Leader.
A gentleman acquainted with Col.
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."

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

and when bIio relumed, about the
first porson to congratulate her on
her sate return was It , a young
blood of the city, whoso dollars ex
ceeded bis good sense in tho ratio of
a million to one.
"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."
"I know, but I have not done so,
but why should 1 not kiss it y
proxy? You have been thore and
kissed it, why should I not take the
influence of Blarney from your lira"
and the smart Also stepped ior

from the Dalles whither he went to

The condemned man was kept
