GEORGIA ATROCITY. Tho Hideous Outrage Near Jonesboro —Anothor Chapter in Shotgun His- tory, ATLASTA, Ga, July 81.—To the Editor of the Olncinnatt Commercial: Ono of the most horrible outrages ever committed upon ue- groes by the Southern whites has just been perpetrated near Jonesboro, twenty miles from Atlinta, No erinio of the Ku-Kiux era ever surpassed it in maliguity and atrocious brutality, And when we look back upon tho quondam methods of the Southern Democ- racy for vatablishing their au: prewacy, wemay {pstly call this the opening of tho }'realden- Jal campaign in the South. ‘To the negro aco this outrage seems the return of the ago of terror.

The whole affair ig not only a disgrace to the State of Georgia, but a travesty tipon the clv- {Nzation of the nineteenth century and the boasted freedom of our Republic. rh About a year ago Joe Thompson, an aged and decrepit negro, was, with his fumily, em- ployed in Fayette County, Georen, on the cotton plantation of Johu Gray, Thompson's son, a negro of 16 years, was necused by his employer of the theft of u plow, and Uray, disregarding the ordinary and_ slow forms 01 justice, one day administered a horrible whipping to Win tn the fields. Thompson hod Gray arrested on a charge of assault and battery, and so strong wus tho testimony against him and so conclusive tho evidence that tle young negro was Innocent of the theft, that Gray was found guilty, even be- forun Georgia Jury, anda fine of $100 was Imposed.upon this castigater. Gray now threatened Thompson and his familly with death, and the poor nogru was, with bfs fain- ily, foreed to leave his unharvested crop and tlee to an adjoining connty, ‘Ue settled on a plantation two iniles from Jonesboro, in Clay~ the county, and np to night before Tost fived there unmolested, winning for himself in the community a reputation for honesty and jn- dustry, Inthe above facts, an.outrage in theniselves, fs found the only cause for a sec- ond outrage, one of the most horrible of all those that have occurred in the South since the emanelpation. in a rude Jog cabin, about twelve feet square, night before last, Joe Thompson and his family—n wife, son, married daughter and her two children--huddled themselves together for o let's rest, Little did they dream Unt thelr troubles of a year uri were to return to them that night in @ horrible and hideous form.
