JOHN P.

ALTQBLD, Governor. Early tnis morning Gov. Altgeld telegraphed Isaac R. Mills, State's Attorney or Macon Connty, inquiring the particu- ara of the lynching ot Bush, the colored avieher. Mr.

Mills replied that he would take the Bret tram tor Springfield md personally present the matter to the Governor. He arrived at 5 o'olock this afternoon, accompanied by W. W. Mason, City Marshal of Decatnr, and W. H.

Jtarr, a prominent citizen ot that place, had an extended 'conference with Governor. Mr. Mills related the circumstances in detail, and assured him jhat he proposed to prosecute the cases with the ntrnoet vigor. At the conclusion of the conference Gov. Altgeld prepared the foregoing proclamation.

State's Attorney Mills returned to Pe- catar to-night. He said before hie departure: "The Grand Jury meets Monday and beyond doubt the leaders of the mob will be indicted. So for as I am. concerned I shall use all the resources at my command to secure their conviction. 'Do yon anticipate as much trouble in getting evidence ae they have ia Arkansas and elsewhere in the Booth?" "No, I think there will be plenty of evidence.

I judge that about a dozen persons are implicated as the actual perpetrators of the crime. They intimidated end overpowered the officers, tore down the jail doors, took oat the prisoner and hanged him. Oul of that number, I feel confident that there will be no difficulty in establishing the identity and guilt of at least tonr or five. The leaders of the the mob were well-known citizens, and they made no attempt at disguise. Ut course there were others, probably a hundred or more whoytlledand cheered ng every man in army to be tnw and not only, bat to regard even an enemy a brother, doing justice under the nepired troth that was bora on Calvary.

All honor to Gov. Altgsld for his noble, berate, manly position ia this damnable affair, willing to sustain, it not otherwise provided for, the cost out of hit own re- eouroes necessary to bring the guilty parties to justice. May he receive the commendation and rapport ot every intelli- tent citizen who believea in maintaining ho noble integrity of our commonwealth. Her. B.

H. Oneal preached at H. E. church Sunday evening to a large congregation. In the morning there wn no sermon, the time being devoted entirely to the celebration ot the Lord's 3apper and the administration ot baptism.

In his sermon in the evening, the theme of which waa "Submission to tbe Constitutional Powers," or the powers that be, he referred in very strong terme to the lynching which took place Satnr- day morning, denouncing it as a plain defiance of law and constitutional righto, which no citizen can afford to be a party to and which no community can afford to allow to pass without challenging the right to thus interfere with ite good name. "Lynch law," he said, "was a defiance of the powers ot the state and ita laws, and in that eenae the spirit which inspires it and the impulses which carry it into effect are spirits ot anarchy and cannot be condoned." He held that no natter what the crime of the offender may be, no man can undertake to execute what be thinks the law ought to be without injury to himself and the morals ot tbe community. He commended the coarse ot the governor ia taking np the matter in tbe interest ot the good name of the state of Illinois and in the interest of causing respect for the laws of the state. but did not actually participate in the killing I do not there would have been LIT "How to Obtain vmn in tho U.

ng any trouble had not the Mount Zion men come in and led the not. Late in the evening I inquired of a prominent citizen of Mount Zion if he anticipated trouble. He said no. Only a few hours ater he returned as leader of the mob. The action of the governor in the effort to apprehend the leaders end all who had anything to do with the killing of Bush, is generally commended; but there is donbt in the minds of many that any Macau county jury will ever bnng in a verdict of guilty, no matter what the evidence may be.

On tbe other hand it is stated that on the criminating evidence that is said to be at hand, the jury will be compelled to bring in a verdict of guilty. The penalty will be that provided in the statutes for murder or manslaughter. The lynching and the governor's action were the chief topics of conversatin ion the city on Sunday, and to-day there is considerable speculation as to what the coroner's jury and the grand jury will do. UIHICTEBa ON IBB IOTOHINO. Sunday evening, at the First Congregational Church, Rev.

W. C. Miller, the pastor, in the course of bis sermon on 'The Nature of Liberty," touched upon the lynching in no uncertain taims. He said in substance: That man is free who recognizes the laws that surround him, and the laws that govern him, and who submits to those laws. For every law presupposes a truth and the truth creates liberty.

A man is free as he woiks upward; he is in bondage as he worasdownward. The man bush, who committed those terrible acts, violating every principle ot morality, acd manhood, was in bondage; tailing to recognize the laws around him-- be was held by the slavery of hie paaaione. The men who ccnrdaied him were in equal bondage, failing to recognize the law of justice by which our government should oe controlled, hence the unlawful that belongs lo injustice.

The first news of the proclamation is- ened by Governor Ahgeld reached Mt. Zion Sunday afternoon at about 3 o'clock. A Ueoatnr paper was brought over from Long Greek township by a clergyman, and it was read through to the end by th? crowd.

The governor's action was made the sabjact ot pointed comments. Quite a number of people visited the county jail on Sunday to see what damage the lynohers had done. Sheriff Perl was in charge ae tbe host and everybody who came was admitted. The eheriff said that probably 8100 would cover the damage. The first newa the sheriff had of the threatened mob violence was a telegram from Decatnr he read on the first page of the Chicago Tribune Satur-' day morning.

He started at once tor the first train and reached Decatnr at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. At Forrest he got a Decatnr paper which gave the particulars ot the lynching. He said he was glad that nobody had been killed. On the point of providing better protection for the negro he said he could not say what he would have done had he been here. He would have been influenced by the state of things, whatever they were.

The sheriff added that it seemed to be bis luck to miss all of the big things that happened. Ha was tbe principal figure in the judicial hanging ot Crawford, but everything else he has miesed by the chance of absence. A number of colored men called npon the sheriff Sunday afternoon and had an interview with him in tbe corridor of the jail. The spokesman of the party wanted to know if any warrants had been issued for tbe alleged leaders of the mob. The sheriff said no.

Then the gentlemen asked if the sheriff had power to deputize anybody to aEsist in the arrest. An affirmative answer WBB given. Then the oalored man asked that be and one or two other negroes be named to go out to Mt. Zion with the sheriff or his deputy to assist in the arrest. It WBB suggested that that might be a dangerous or foolhardy move.

"I'm not afraid," said one; "I'll go," and he eaid jt with a great deal ot feeling. He said he did not approve in any sense of what Bush had done, but he said the man ought to have had a trial under the laws of the etate. The committee was referred to tbe state's attorney. Samuel D. Smith, of Mt.

Zion, las been drawn to serve on the grand jury, which will convene for business this afternoon. Ha ie in a very embarrassing position. Knowing that he was to serve on the grand jury, he has avoided all persona! knowledge of the affair. He was in Decatnr all day Friday, and that night at 10 o'clock he took the train for his home. Possibly Judge Vail may excuse him from service.

State's Attorney Mills got two telegrams Saturday from Gov. Altgeld. The first asked for particulars of killing of Bush, and the second was a request that Mr. Mills come to Springfield at once. He did so, returning on the 10 o'clock train nt nubt Deaiti at Denver.
