Clfurcli, Loudon, Neb. London, April 17, 1873. Editor Nebraska AnvnitTiSEit. PiirBunnt to previous announce mpiit, n number of tho citizens of the community met at tho Al. E. Church to listen to a discussion upon tho sub ject of compulsory education. The house was called to order 05' Alex. IMcKenney, prayer by S. W. Kennedy, Mr. A. J. Skeen elected ohairman and on motion Geo. W. Ber lin elected secretary. The question for discussion read : Unsolved, That parents of Nebraska be compelled to send their children to school twelve weeks out of tho .year, and at least six out of the twelve be consecutive weeks, provided that thoy live within two miles of the school house. Speakers in the afllrmntivo were F. R. Sykes, G. S. MeGrew and Chas. Stull ; negative, S. W. Kennedy, Geo. Crow and E. B. Stevens. Mr. Sykes led in the afurmativeand made some brief remarks to compel pa -ents of Nebraska to send their chil dren to school, and that this law would not pive the teachers of Ne braska more power than befre; and that parents arc withholding for these children ; and that tho laws of Prus sia bre based upon the laws of d"ur country; and that more children would be educated if such a law was eilected. Mr. Kennedy, the affirmative, spoke of the teaching of morality more than science, and thinka the laws of Nebraska are good enough for the 6chools of our State, and that more children would bo educated without such a law than with it. Mr. Chas. Stull, negative, spoke t f the law of compulsory having no ef fect upon those that are trying t ed ucate their children ; that such a law would be a benefit to the State of Ne braska, and thinks of having other laws to enforce said law. Mr. Geo. Crow, nllirmative, made a few brief remarks upon moral suasion, thinking it the hest method of com pelling children to attend sohool.and hoping never to see such a law adopt ed under any consideration whatever. After the discussion, the following resolution was adopted by a majority of 32 for and 2 against said resolution: Urjofvcd, That the present free school system of Nebraska is sulll cient for the wants of the people, and we are opposed to a compulsory edu cation law. A. J. SKEEN, Ch'n. Geo. W. Beklin, Sec'y. Aflveiiturev ivitli a Pot of Paint. Old Mr. Watson, on Ntlson street, has got a nice little bill to pay. He sent a man down town for a pot of paint and a ladder. The man got the paint, and then went to a lumber yard after a ladder. Then he tied the paint pot on the end of the ladder and put the ladder on his shoulder. This, was a very smart arrantremeut, and the man himself admired it very tftuch. He started for home this way, am! didn't find any trouble getting along the first block, because people hail an impression that a long ladder with a pot of paint dangling on the end of it, wasn't exactly the thing to tritle with, so they balanced along on the curb-stone, or rubbed up against the buildings. Pretty soon the man shw somebody in a store he knew, and lie turned around to speak to him, and drove one end into a mil linery cae and knock the crown out of an ei hteen dollar bonnet. Then he backed oiF in allright, and knock ed down two sewing machine agents with the other end. Then he started to turn around, and an old gentle man, who was desperately endeavor ing to pull his wife out of danger, saw the peril and shouted out. "Hi. there!" But it wa too late. The pot struck against an awning post, tipped to one side, and the entire contents went over the aged couple. This so startled the man that he turned com pletely around, sma-hing in an entire store front, frightening a milk man's team, and knocked over some thirteen persons who were actively dodging about to get out of the wav." Then he dropped the ladder, and fled into the country, shouting "murder" ami "fire" at every jump. A regularly ordained painter i- now engaged on Mr. Watson's house. Danbury Xeirs.

Important Testimony Concerning th Colfax 31n.kiicre. Special Correspondence Cincinnati Times and Chroi.lc.Ie. New Okleans. La., April 28. I had an interview to-day with a gentleman from Rapides Parish, which adjoins Grant. He is a man of wealth and high social position, and well known throughout the State, and possessing great influence. Every word he sayd can be relied upon, and his statements are entitled to addi tional weight, when bespeaks favor ably for the Republicans of Colfax, from the fact that he is AN OLD SLAVEHOLDER, SECESSIONIST, AND A STRONG DEMOCRAT TO-DAY. Pie desires his name to bo withheld for the present, as he will soon be re required to give testimony in the in vestigation which is to ensue. His description of the condition of n flairs upon the Red River should be heard to be appreciated. I can give but a faint idea of what he so graphically described. Said he: "The Republican officers on that .side of the river are either ras cals or cowards. They refuse, either because they dare not, or, more often, because they will not, to execute war rants or serve writs. To my knowl edge there are over fifty warrants in the hands of tho officers of Rapides Pariah which they refuse to execute. Sotno of them are two years old. Any man can commit any crime with im punity. Tho law guards no man ; his own guard are his revolver and bowie. Wo have been twenty months without a court of any kind. The Judges, Sheriffs, fce., appointed by tho Republicans, are all of a piece. They refuse to bring an offender of any kind to trial. These are the ap pointees of Pinchback and Kellogg. Let them turn out these rascals, and send us men, black or white. Repub licans or Democrats, we care not, so long as they will enforce the laws and attend to their duties. By ap pointing and keeping in power such officers as these, the Republicans have done much to luing on the troubles in Grant. It has encouraged the com mission of all sorts of crime, and obiigetl well-disposed men to take up arms in self-defense and have recourse to violence. The Kellogg Sherilfof Rapides is a man against whom two or three indictments for hore-steal-ing are filed. The Conduct of Whit tier, the United States Tax Collector, is the most infamous of all. Ho has collected over $-10.tK', not one cent of which is legally due the United States. His salary is $1,800 per year, yet he lives in grand style with his wife and children, keeping carriages and ser vants, and gives cotIy wine-.-uppers He lives by systematic plunder and there is no appeal short of the Reve nue Department at Washington. Time and again we have sent on pu llers exposing his rascality and beg ging for assistance. No attention is ever paid to them. "In the first week in January the Fusionists took possession of tho offi ces in Grant Parish by force. The offense for which the Republicans were murdered at Colfax was in re taking them by the same means. Kel logg might have prevented all this blood-shed. He was warned weeks before the fatal Easter Sunday. T wrote him. myself, two weeks before, praying him. for God's sake,' to order on troops before it was too late; yet he never lifted a finger. He fa exas perating the opposition and alienating his friends. "After Nash and the other McEn ery oflleers had been dispossessed of their places, they set about to accom plish their levenge. Iniw, the Kel logg Sheriff, fearing trouble, enrolled a pone cnmiiaitiu, consisting, necessa rily, of negroe mostly, as tbvy form the majority of the population. Rut land. Hudn'ot, the Fusion meniher of the 1 louse from Grant Parish, and Nash raised a gang of men from Grant and other Parishes, and began to scour the country around Colfax, committing all sorts of depredations, murdering the negroes, burning their houses, and driving off their stock. Every day tho people flocked to 'he Court House at Colfax for protection, until nearly all the population was gathered there. The men as they came in were promptly ordered to join the posse, until it numbered be tween three and four hundred men. Armed men rode into tho town occa sionally, and several fights took pljice. Tho negroes threw up a breast. vork around the Court House, and prepar ed themselves for defense as best they could The negroes were all from Grant Parish alone. Those attacking them were gathered from a dozen dif ferent parishes, some coming from fiftv miles away, and it is asserted that there wore men from New Or leans in the ranks. "On the morning of Easter Sunday Iludont and Nash, at the head of their crowd, rode into Colfax and told Sh w he could have thirty minutes to get the women and children out of the wav. They were st.nt out, and the fight began. It lasted until near sundown. I know that many whites were killed and wounded. The ne groes stoutly contested the struggle, and old soldiers who were with Lee told me it was the hottest lighting they were ever in. At last Rutland's cannon was opened upon the negroes, and panic-stricken they fled to the Couit House. The beseigers forced a negro lo go up under their guns and set fire to the cypress-shingle roof, which could be easily reached from the oil side. As the tire burned down into the terror-stricken, struggling, shrieking crowd of negroeo, the half roasted wretches broke from the building, swinging handkerchiefs, pieces of their shirts, or anything of the kind they could lay hands on in token of surrender. The whites formed in front of the building and poured in a steady tire upon them as they came out. Hudnot sprang in front of his nien and shouted to them to stop, as the negroes had surrender ed. He fell dead shot by his own men. whether purposely or accident ally it cannof be determined. The negroes were not firing at the time. Men from his own gang tell me this la the true statement of the flag-of-truce story. Then the work went on. and in a few minutes a hundred and fifty of the negroes were killed. Thirty-seven were taken alive, marched down to the river, shot, one bj' one and thrown into the river. In the evening Shaw went to visit the house where Hudnot was lying. While thero n gang came to the door and said they 'wanted him.' He went out and never came back. The male population oColfax was almost annihilated. "Of the men who composed the at tacking party I have this to say: There was not a representative man ' among them, nardly any property- holders or tax-payers. All the in en j of any character or social position re fused to take any part in the affair. But two of the men who wont from Rapides Parish are upon the tax roll. Many of them were OLD KLU-KLUX MEN. They were idle, reckless scoundrels, or irrepressible, thoughtless young men just such men as are encour aged and sustained by the weakness and indecision of the Kellogg Gov ernment. The stories of the negro outrages are false; that one of their Intending to tike the white women for concubines, a silly one, trumped up to gain recruits. These poor blacks thought they could do what they had seen whites do so often, and had no idea of the fearful consequen ces of their mistake. In all this sec tion the negro is wronged, robbed, and ill-treate t past belief. A terrible persecction has been practiced against them ever since the war. "I believe there never was a race so abused, so swindeled, so defrauded by employers, and traders, and officers, and black men can get no justice. No one dare speak for him. He is nat urally patient, faithful and kind. One word to those negroes in the trenches at Colfax, and they would have laid down their arms. But our people were determined upon a bloody massacre, and wanted nocompromise. "For all these things the Republi can party is Indirectly responsible They have the power and the strong arm of the National Government to back them. Why do they not exer cise It? Give us courts and good offi cers and protect us. While Kellogg hesitates anil compromises, and ap points v unionists to oince, in tne en deavor to please both sides, this bloody revolutionary spirit is encour aged and strengthened. This State is not in r. condition to be ruled by a kid glove government. I know our people; by fear alone they nni3t be ruled, and when the iron hand is laid upon them they will be quiet, and such fiends as perpetrated tho Colfax horror will sink away to their holes. Our people refuse to understand their position ; that they have been subju gated ; that the negroes are free, and their political and social equals. They refuse to accept this situation and re concile themselves to It. We want force, wo want an iron military rule to bring them to their senses." STATEMENTS OF A NEGRO WOUNDED AT THE MASSACRE. A negro who was in tho Court House and was wounded in the mas sacre, told me tho followiug story, in his simple, pathetic manner: "I warned our people not to go into tho Court House. I k unwed it would bo the end of 'em. But when the can non went off they were all skeered, and huddled into the building like a flock of sheep. Then the burning roof began to fall on us, and every one was praying and shrieking and singing, and calling on God to have mercy. The flesh of those furderest from the do' began to roast. I could smell it. Our clothes was all on firo, and we broke fo' the do'. The white men shot us down as we came out. Then wo rushed back, trampling each other down in the fire and smoke. The hair burnt off our heads, our clothes burning and skin roasting. But we had to make for the open air. Then Hud tint's men used their knives, revolvers, and gun stocks. Our people did not resist. It was RKOULAR BUTCHERY. One of the white men would grab a negro by the hai , jerk his head back, and another would cut his throat. They would shove their re volvers into our people's mouth's and fire them off. They smashed their heads with gun stocks ami revolver butts, anil stubbed right and left with their long knives. Iti a few minutes almost all our people were killed, ex C"t soiuf who were taken prisoners. They were marched ofT to the woods and shot." TESTIMONY OF ONE OF THE ASSAIL . ANTS. A man who was in the attacking party said to me: "Our fellers came from Grant, Kapides, Catahoula, Franklin, Natchitoches, Bossier, Cad do, Winn and Wmnsboro. We had about 2o0 to 3D0. The niggers fit us all day like the devil. Nigger'll nev er fight unless he is cornered. They stood musketry pretty well, but the howitzer was too much for them. When they first began to come out we used our guns, but when the whole crowd rushed out wo begun on 'em with our knives and revolvers. We worked lively, but snm got away. Most of these, however, was -picked up in the woods afterwards and dis posed of. I think wo did the bus! nes for about a hundred around the Court House, perhaps more." "You took fomu prisoners, did you not?" said I. "Yes, wo took thirty-seven. They came out so fust we couldn't dispose of them all." "What did you do with them?" "The boys took them down to the river and shot them, or cut their throats. Two of the boys would hold one up, another would give him the shooter between the eyes or draw his knife across his throat, and then they wouid pitch him into tho water and take another. While this was going on. some of the fellers hung up a few on the trees around there, just by way of vnriety." "What became of Shnw?'' "The men that took him handed him over to s tne of the Catahoula boys, and they took him on a little excursion to the woods. He got so scar't." continued my Informant, grinning, "as he was riding along, that he fell out of the wagon and broke his neck, which was a very sad accident." "How many negroes do you think were killed?" "Nigh on to three hundred, I reck on, was put where they'll do the most good, from beginning to end of the Grant -'crape. The job was well done. We sha'n't have no more trouble with niggers in Grant Parish. And when a- clean a job as that is done in every parish in the State we shall be gin to have some quiet, and niggers will know their place." "Very likely." said I, "considering that you killed nearly all the uegroe In the parish." "Yes, and that is tne only nope there is left for us." A BRUTAL HORROR. Let th.- reader, who has shuddered over the horrid massacres which his tory records iu times gone by, and thank Heaven that they were of a past age and impossible in the Chris tian enlightment of the present, con sider that history records no deed more brutal, more horrible than this one. perpetrated in our own day, in our own land, under our own govern ment, jxot one-half the dreadful de tails can ever be known. Think of that bloody butcheey before the Court House, of those burning, screaming, maddened wretches ; of that cold bloodhd, deliberate series of execu tions beside the river. Picture in your imagination the death of Shaw, an old man of nearly seventy. He steps out of the house at the sum mons, and no one ever saw his face again. There is the flash of a torch amid the pine trees; from the lonely depths of the forest comes the muf fled report of a musket; and the bleeding body of the old man is H ing alone in "the darkness, and the wretches who murdered him are slinking away in searoh of new vic tims.

IIANGING-A WOMAN. The Details of the Kxeentlon of Susan berltrt at Preston, G. "From tho Louisville Courier-Journal. Preston, Webster Co., Ga., May 2. To-day was tho saddest ever wit nessed iu Georgia. Susan Eberhart, aged nineteen, was hanged. She was convicted on the 20th of May last as the accomplice of Enoch F. Spanu in the murder of his wife on tho 4th of May, 1S72. At her request a statement of what she did in connection with the mur der was written yesterday and will bo published. In it she says .lbs did nothing except being present and h aiding Spanu a handkerchief when ho called for it to fill his wife's mouth. SJie states that she arose from a bed and accompanied him, being held by the hand, tit his command and com pulsion, and through fear, and that she begged and entreated him not to kill his wife. Ho said he would if ho were hanged five minutes after, and he forced her to do what she did. Ho also forced her to go off with him. She begged him with tears to leave her, but he said : "If you don't go I will pick you up and toto you ofl." And all the journey she beg ged him to let her go back home. She says she made no such confession as her captors swear to ; and she be lieves that If only tho actual truth had been giveu iu the testimony, whatever might have been her pun ishment, she would uot be hanged. But, considering her condition, sho thought it was nest for her to die now. She was perfectly willing; she did uot fear death. She believed that she would be bet ter off, and that it would bo better for her kindred. When alio was first brought to jail, she determined to seek earnestly God's forgiveness and salvation. Sotno six mouths ago she found peace ; now regards death as a deliverance to bo denired rather than dreaded. This morning the pastor of the Bap tist (Mm rch visited the jail, at S o'clock, and prayed with aud con versed with her. He found her com posed, cheerful, confident aud perfect ly willing to dio.

She told the Sheriff as she went that she was not the least shocked, and was, no doubt, less troubled than any other present. She had on a white, small-figured, cambric-finished dress, neatly ar ranged and trimmed at the expense of the Sheriff. He hair was plainly combed in two long braids, one on each side, the ends tied together at the back. She wore a calico sun-bonnet At the gallows the Sheriff assisted her to alight, and she took a seat on the steps. The minister read the 88th and 130th Psalms, and spoke a few words of encouragement. He said ho had great confidence in the genuine ness of her professions of conversion and faith. Then followed an earn est prayer, after which she took leave of her "friends. She spoke composed ly, and said in a firm voice that she had free 1 3' forgiven all and lovod them, and was ready to die. Then the Sheriff said, "Susan, are 3'ou read" ?" Sho said, "Yes, I'm ready," and walked firmly to the steps, taking a stand on the platform. The Sheriff placed the black cap on her iiead, and adjusted the rope. She said, "Mr. Matthews, that's too tight; I don't want to be choked to death." The Sheriff slackened tho ropo a little and asked, "Is thataboutright?" She said "Yes." The Sheriff said, "Susan, place 3'our hands behind -ou." She did so, and he tied them. Then he said again, "Are you ready?" She replied, 'Yes ready willing.' Then the pint form dropped at pro eisely half-past 11.

"Wilms DruUmond. Commlsioner. Adventure of Miner In India. A German mining engineer named Bredemyer, has been tolling a San Francisco reporter a strange atory about his mining operations in India, and his crucifixion in Burmah. Ho was graduated at several schools- of mines in Europe, and as may bo sup posed has a thorough mining educa tion. He then wont to the East to practice his piofesslou as au engineer, and took charge of the tin mines in Dutch India, under thegovernmeutof Holland. After this he went Into other sections aud entered into tho service of the local heathen govern ments to conduct their mining opera tions. Ho became a great favorite, aud was growing iu wealth and pow er, when tho natives became sudden ly jealous of him and feared that ho, would report the richness of their mines to foreign governments. They did not believe In the diffusion of this kind of knowledge. In Burmah they came upon him without any warniug, to the uumber of three or tour hundred, as afterward appeared, by tho order of the King of Burmah, in Juue, lbb'J His retainers aud servants left him vrithont a word, as if by some preconcerted signal, and joined the three hundred, armed with bamboes, knives and spears. The servant, fortunately, left his arms, consisting of eight guns and two re volvers, and he had some ammuuitlou He was surrounded in his bungalow, and fought the heathen army for three days and two nights, killing many of them, and he was obliged to surrender. Then they scourged him, and cried, "Crucify him ; crucify him, as he saS's his God was crucified. Hung him on a cross." And they crucified him that Is, they tied him with throngs upon a cross and left him there until ho was unconscious. After that the3i took him down and when consciusness returned they puC him on the wildest one of his five hor ses, which no one else conld, ride, and journeyed with him tovrd thee pa-aee of the king.
