THE IOWA PATRICIDE, MORM OF THE AUDUBON MURDER. Des Moisus, Iowa, April 20—There are no now developments in the Jeflerson murder case at Audubon. The father and brother of Wilson, one of the accus- ed, visited him in his cell to-day, and a very affeoting scene oocurred. The father is an old man, 72 years of age, and was perfeotly wild with grief. He knelt down, and prayed fervently, embraced and kissod the prisoner, and between his sobs said: *‘O, my son, why did you do this terrible thing? Why did you do i It will KILL YOnR POOR OLD MOTHRR, and it will kill me. I expect to find your mother dead when I get home.” The prisoner tried to protest his innocence and expected that all will yet be well, but the old man paid buc little heed to it. The interview lasted perhaps 30 minutes. Jeremiah Smyth, the fathor of anoth- er of the t¢:ueed, also called but it was a for difforent affair. He appeared to talk fndiffereutly almost to rudeness, and talked entirely about his son’s busi- ®9sa mattorain an unconcerned manner. THE WIVES of both Smyth and Wilson came to the jail, and chatted ghibly with them through the grating. They also visited theic brother Cicero, and tried to have him say they did not do it, but he replied, “Yes, we did, Minnfe.” The defense waved examination as far as Wilson and Smyth wero concorned, and they were remanded to jail until the August term of court, without bail. -New links in the chain of testimony are added hourly, and thers seems wo shadow of bonbt but that all are guilty.

V1cksBURG, Miss,,April 20, A special from Skipwiths, about eighty miles above this city, give the following par- ticulars of a lynching that occurred on Rustic plantation on Washington bayou, owned bv Col. Ed. Richardson. Samuel T, Wilson (whito maz), was acting as gaard over a number of convicts who were hauling lumber to a flatboat where a negro named McDaniel was fishing. Wil- son and McDanicl had some words and according to the testimony of two negro witnesses, Wilson made his con- victs take McDaniel aboard his boat and beat him until he was unconscious, and then ordered them to throw him in the river, which was done. Wilson was arrested and taken before Adam Jeunkins, a negro justice of the peaco by whom ho was committec to await the action of the grand jury. There were about 300 negrocs present du- ring the tria',and threats of lynching Wilson were made but by the efforts of a duputy sherifi and others they became apparently quiot, and expersed their willingness to let the law take its course. Lawson, witn three guards, started to town with the prisoner, but had not proceeded more than a mile befcre they were surrouaded by a large number of negroes, who disarmed the deputy sheriff and guards, and took the prisoner, declaring their intention to hang him, and proceeded to carry their threat into exzecution. Wilson is now hanging to a limb in a bayou swamp. WEST VIRGINIA DEVILTRY, CrarrestoN, W.

We are measurably hampered and handi- capped by a class of self constituted lender wuo can see no cause for alarm so long as they are well provided for. Lot the sun shine brightly on their side of the streot, it makes no_ differonce how hard rain may beat on the pathway of othera. 1 regret the necessity of giving un open robuke to these. A few colored oftice-hclders have been bending their energies to weaken the influence of this meeting.” He said the time had come for the colored people to organize amongst themselves to secure their common rights as oitizens, He eaid: I do not speak of organization in the relation to political parties, but with ref- erence to those interests which directly concern us. Time after time have we been told that we must take care of our- selves, It is true we are poorly equipped either for a long or dmagerous voyage. The supremo court stripped us of one of our sails when it threw overboard the civil rights bill. Still we have ono oar and ballast, & vote and the balance of power. With this in an organized etate we can measureably come up to the task of ‘takiug care of ourselver,” He said colored people must domand that their children have the same opportunities for education as whites, and *‘the people cannot atford to allow custom and condi- tion, the offspring of mere prejudice, to give birth to a cluss of shiftloss and reck- less youths. 1 tremble for the peace and future of this nation when Iam brought to reflect on the unfavorable environ- ment of the young colored men of this country 8o eusily inclining them in cuse of a conflict between labor and capital to unite with cemmunistic and eocialist'c eloments and exert their energies to make destruction more destructive,” P flice Changoes.
