It is probable that they will be held for trial, but people say no jury can be impaneled In this state that will convict them, even when the testimony of the detectives who have been associated with them and heard these braggadocio confessions about those outrages is added. 1 have not met a single white man, outside of the Radical Club here, who does not sympathise with the prisoners, and declares their innoconco in the face of all this testimony. They say the "niggers" lie, and even if old man Doyle were to show his scarred back in court, they would say it was a political trick to create sympathy for the "nigger." Another correspondent of the Inter-Ocean, writing from York, says: Allen, an honest, outspoken citizen of Livingston, who served in the Confederate, army and had voted the Democratic ticket for forty years, was cruelly beaten because ho deplored the death of Bil lings, and soon after received a letter saying that "if he didn't keep his mouth shut about that Yankee Billings, ho would meet the same fate."

Zurich to Sevelin Four Days at Seve-lin Mountain Ranges Alpine Snows Social Reminiscences. Sevelin, Switzerland, Sept. 15. Editors State Journal: It stems to rue quite natural and proper that I do not neglect to mention my line of travel, for this seems to me an ilem of information that I would wish to receive, and think it will be desired by most of the persons who may read my letters. I left Zurich by a morning train, and most of the day -vas spent on the route to Sevelin, which is in the Canton of Saint Uallen.

The route traveled was through Winter har, Saint Gallen, and Korshach. The little town of Iiorshach is situated on the shore of the lake of Constance, and is the place from which passengers cross to Landau, whenever they go to Constantinople by way of Vienna, the Danube, and the Black Sea. I supposed that I had passed through the most wild and mountainous places that can be traversed by railroads, but find that I was mistaken. It was often a question as to how, or whether, we would pass ranges of mountains which arose before us; but I could trust to the fact that we were on a route that had often been traversed. The last part of the route was along the Rhine, above the lake of Constance, and where it is but a diminutive stream.

I made this visit to the little village of Sevelin, on account of a request that I do so, by our fellow citizen and my friend, Andrew Kkntzlek, Esq. This is the place of his nativity, and where he spent the years of his childhood and early youth, and where his ancestors are buried in the little churchyard. It was with some misgivings, and, perhaps, real embarrassment, that I concluded to visit this place, and indulge in a brief sojourn with families with whom I could not converse at all in my own language, and where I was fearful my most careful or considerate acts might not be well understood. But here, as in some other places, common sense, and a due appreciation of the fact that we were, in some unimportant matters, accustomed to some different usages, led to a most happy and comfortable visit. It seems strange, although true, that I have not often spent four as comfortable and haDDv davs in a stransro household.

It is also strange that with my limited knowledge of their language, I was able to understand and to be understood, to such an extent as to converse with regard to most matters that were, really necessary, after the first few hours. I will ever cherish a remembrance of this visit, with as much pleasure as though it had been at the mansion of a prince. I believe, however, that my ability to converse, to a limited extent, was more on account of the patient care taken by the family, and especially by the two intelligent daughters of the household, than on account of any merit of my own. During the fist few hours we had the kind aid of Fraulein (Miss) Bergner, who is a daughter of a deceased minister, and is a native of Ilerrman, Missouri, but returned to her native hills when but two years old. She is now an inmate ot the family of llev.

Sallzbekqen, pastor of the village church. And to this good pastor am I indebted for many pleasant recollections of my visit to Sevelin. I am left with the impression that there is more real intrinsic character and intelligence among these people than is true in many quarters of the globe. I was not prepared to find that the most humble of this people are able to read, and can write a good hand. The more substantial intelligence, or intrinsic knowledge, seems to be the order among them, rather than any thing like superfluous or superficial culture.

It is not strange that these people cherish a strong attachment to their native mountains. They are something magnificent to look at, and their ascent has cost many of them weary hours of toll. But when the question tf substantial comfort is taken into the account, it seems reasonable that they should leave their hill where severe toil brings such limited returns, and should improve their condition by emigrating to where they can purchase cheap lands in the United States, like those of Kansas. There are three old castles, or castle ruins, in the vicinity of Sevelin; one of which stands upon a narrow hill in the midst of the village. Another is along the same bank ot the Rhine, perhaps three or tour miles from the village, and is across the Rhine, and in the dominions of Prince Franz the Lichtenstein family.

This castle has been so far restored as to be occupied but it is so high up the mountain side, that I cannot conceive Proposals for Furnishing tho Stato with Paper. EALED PROPOSALS WILL be received at the office of the Secretary of State or the State of isconsin, until October 15th, 1874. at 12 furnishing and delivering at the Capitol, In of all charges, or before December 10th, 1874, the paper, hereinafter described, for the use of said state, and which is to be purchased in accordance with th provisions ol chapter 230, of the laws of Wisconsin for 1874.

Address HOWA RD ASSOCIATION 419 South Ninth street, Philadelphia, -am Institution having a high reputation for lionor able conduct and professional skill. Killing and Whipping Voters- Republican On the 6th in Mobile, the examination of the prisoners brought there from Sumter county, Alabama, charged with Kuklux outrages and violations of the enforcement act, began before United States Commissioner Gillette, and was attended by a large crowd, nearly a dozen attorneys appearing for the prisoners, who had been visited in their confinement by many of the first people of the place, and supplied with comforts and delicacies. From a dispatch to tho Chicago Inter-Ocean we take the following report of the testimony Tho first charge taken up was the murder of Billings, the white Republican, who was killed near York, early in September. He was formerly from Brooklyn, N.

and owned a large plantation near there. He probably carried more influence than any Republican in the county, and as a gentleman at Meridian informed me, "the colored people all swore by him." On the day he was killed ho had addressed a Republican meeting some fifteen miles from his residence, and his body was found dead in the toad, lying partly under his horse, which was also shot. Judge Greatla, Billings' law partner, testified to technicalities, to the fact that he was dead, and that his body was found on Sunday morning by the roadside. Richard Wright, was then called, and a mulatto boy about 18 years of age came to tlit stand, lie Identified l.ullock and Ren fro. saying he had known them for more than five years.

On the Saturday evening that Billings was killed ho was walking along the road toward the lat-ter's house, going to a public dinner, when he met an old man named Nelson Doyle, who asked him where he could stay all night. This opened the conversation. The witness learned that the in-ner was over, and started back to his father's house with Doyle. Soon they saw Billings riding through a narrow road, and hen fif ty yards or more from them Ren fro sprang out from tho bushes with a revolver, saying: "Halt, you damn Yankee sou of a and was followed bv five or six men, till of whom tired at Billings. The horse fell first.

Billings jumped from him and started to run, but fell dead. Renlro saw witness and Doyle, and, coming to the latter, said: "Did you see what we did down there, old man If you did, God damn 3ou, get out of this country, or I'll kill vim." The old man put for the bushes. Then Renfro said to witness: "Dick, did you see Witness said, "1 did." "Here," said he, handing him 20, "take that and get out of this country, if you don't want to be shot." "Hold on!" ho interrupted. "Come to my house to-morrow morning." Witness went home, packed up his clothes, and went to Meridian without telling any one where he was going, and he did not say anything about the murder till his father found him in Meridian two weeks after. There were twenty-five or thirty persons with Renfro, ho thought, among whom he knew Bullock, Sledge, Clay, Fitzpatrick, and Mar tin.

After leaving him they looked at Billings' body to see tliat ho was dead, and then went off again into the woods. Nelson Doyle, the old man to whom the last witness referred, repeated the story of the murder, and said that he told about it when he stopped at a colored man's house that night. A few weeks after, he was sitting in the cabin of a man named Ford, one night, when Ford told him there were white men outside who wanted him. lie went out, and they seized and tied him, put a rope around his neck, mounted tneir norses, and dragtred nim along as fast as their horses could go. Hillman was one of the number.

He was working for Hillman at tne time. They took him up a hill, and when they reached a spot where there was underbrush, they asked him whether he would rather be shot or be hung, or bo whipped 1,700 lashes. He prayed them to let him go, but if the Lord had commanded that His servant should suffer for righteousness' sake, he would rather be whipped. They stripped him, made him lay flat on the ground, and four men, two on a side, began to beat him with whips six or eight feet long. They stopped, and a man named Tutt said, "Lift him up," and he was lifted up.

Tutt continued: "Now, old man, tell what you have said about our killing Billings." He told them all he could remember that he had said. Then Tutt said, "Get down, God damn you. We'll pay you for that." And they whipped him again. They wore out six or eight heavy whips. Hillman did not do the whipping, but cut the sticks.

As often as the beaters would tire they would jerk him up by the rope that was around his neck, and throw him down again to keep him from fainting. At one interval they lifted him up and asked if he would kill Bob Reed. He said, "I don't know him." "We will show you where he the reply. "I will kill him, if he don't kill me first, if you don't whip me any more," witness answered; but they threw him down again, and Jim Meyers put both feet on his neck and jounced him, yelling, "Beat him, boys; God damn the nigger son of a beat nim." After a while somebody suggested to kill him, and the witness said he didn't know any more after that; he was scared to death, but the Lord kept him and woke him the next morning, when the devil and his angels were gone. Durjgg the whipping Hillman told them not to kill him.

"I love him for that," said the witness. "It was the good Lord that put i. into his heart." Witness de scribed his wounds in a fervid manner, and said he crawled down the hill to the road in the morning, and Uncle Daniel found him and took him to his house. Witness recognized several men who assisted at the whipping, who were present at the murder of Billings, and named them. Neither Renfro nor Bullock were there.

As the old man told the story of his torture his eyes dilated, his voice trembled, his hands were clenched, and his appeals to heaven to attest his truth were frequent and fervent. When ho said the Lord saved him from the persecution of the devil and gave him strength, a suppressed titter ran across the Democrats of the court room the only exhibition of any sort of emotion that was shown during the day. The scene would have been dramatic in a Northern court-room; but here, where negro persecutton has been a common thing for nearly two centuries, people regard it only as "one more story of "nigger" whipping, and its moral fell During the cross-examination the witness became somewhat puzzeled, particularly when he was questioned in regard to the operations of his own mind, and the effect of his testimony was weakened by this difficulty under which he labored of expressing himself. He knew Hillman, and he saw him in the crowd the day Billings was killed, but he did not know why he did not recognize him the next time they met. When he told how Hillman cut switches for the rent to whip him, he approached the prisoner and pointed direct-ty at him.

Hillman's lace flushed to a deep red. Renfro sat through the trial without showing the least sign of emotion, or even intersst. Bullock drew his head down between his shoulders like a turtle, and sat stolidly. The defense brought forward a large number of witnesses, chiefly to prove an alibi for Renfro, but their testimony was conflicting, and established the startling fact that can De in several localities at the same time. One witness saw him at his home about the time Billings was murdered, tations of his subjects, are in plain view from Sevelin.

Tho width of that portion of his domains that ate ot any value, are thus described, being about one mile wide, but he is said to own as much of the rocky and snow capped hills above.as he may desire to climb over. At each end of the bridge which crosses the Rhine near Sevelin, is a small house for the collection of customs, one for the dominions, and the other for the canton of St. Gallen. There is still another castle ruin at Dueh, which was more exteusive than either of those that have been referred to. Bueh is about lour miles from Sevelin.

Although there were but two persons in Sevelin who could speak English at all. (Miss Beronek, before referred to, and a man I casually met), 1 have a singular feeling of sympathy with the place. It was at once observed that a stranger was in their midst, and from a far off country, but there was not the slightest manifestation of any thing like rudeness, even by any child in the village. I could not but suspect that some of our own young Americans might derive some useful lessons from them. I have inclined to give some items with regard to the differences of customs from our own, but I have some apprehension that what I would impart as information would be, by some persons, construed as criticism.

The matter of peculiarity in tho customs of different countries, seems to me to be the least worthy of criticism. Each has an undoubted right to praise the common employments, and social departments of life in their own way. These differen-enees are to me, as a traveler, matters of peculiar interest, which is not associated with any tendency to criticise those matters that differ from our own. I duly appreciate, that in some matters we might improve, by engrafting some of the customs of other countries. I have not referred to those Alpine ranges upon either side of the Rhine, in the immediate vicinity of the village.

These are so high that snow is likely to fall upon them whenever it rains below. THere are considerable fields of snow in view, and not very far away. These frequent falls of snow upon the mountains and its gradual waste, has a useful influence iu the work of irrigration of the plains below. And from this source the waters of the Rhine are being constantly replenished at all seasons during the absence of a cold winter. C.

li. C. THE SITUATION IN MILWAUKEE. Rindskopf vs. Ludington Minor Items.

Milwaukee, Oct. C. Editors Journal: It is pretty gener-erally conceded that, in case Mayor LuDTNf.TON consents to be a candidate for Member of Congress from this district, he will be elected. To Mr. Ludington it may be a matter of sacrifice of business obligations; but the interests of decency demand that some man of recognized moral character and principle should come forward and stem the tide of corrup tion which has been inaugurated.

It is not necessary to recite the evidences of the general confidence reposed iu Mr. Ludinton, which the earnest solicitations to him of many prominent men of all parties establishes. As for Sam Rinds-kopf, whatever may have been his private character, he certainly cannot claim that he is entitled to any consideration for public or political morality. It may be that he will claim his limited experience as an excuse. Well, it has a bad showing for a beginner, and in a Reform party and certainly Democrats will not go back on the political cry which they have once in a while had occasion to utter, (and which is too true) that in Congress a man's morals are not improved.

As a specimen of the class of men supporting Rinds-Korp, is the fact that in the convention which nominated him were no less than ten persons whom Judge Mallort (a rival to Rindskopf for the nomination) either sent to the House of Correction or fined for some petty offense. We were going to say something of Sam's great abilities especially his massive intellect but, come to think, the Reformers are very desirous that that subject should not enter into the campaign. They want to discuss something broad, you know. It is a matter of congratulation to the Republican voters of this State, when they consider the unexceptionably good men placed in nomination for Congress by the several Republican District Conventions. Among the new candidates, Magoon and Caswell are particularly good men, and the renominated have made a record which will unquestionably be by large majorities.

A new paper will be started sustained in a short time in Milwaukee, under the direction and editorship of Mr. A. M. Thom son, formerly editor of the Sentinel so says rumor. The printing material of the Milwaukee Daily Guide, defunct, has been purchased for the new enterprize.

It Is said that it will be issued only during the campaign, but if Thomson takes hold of it it will not die easily. A number of substantial business blocks are in course of construction in the city, and one or two quite extensive blocks are being planned. The postofflce building is being repaired to the extent of $40,000, voted last winter. It was needed. Notice how solicitous the editor of the New is over the condition of the State Treasury.

Are there any more back printing contracts to be raked up? Cer ainly the people will be glad to learn that there is money in the treasury after he has had his hands in. Mug. Think ok Ihese Things. The Hud son star and 1 tinea sets up the Wisconsin Reform candidate for United States Senator in this style: "And now this man Mitchell is the great railroad king of Wis consin the man who has done more than all others to oppress the people; the man wno was the nrst to declare that his com pany, the Milwaukee St. Paul, would not obey the Potter law.

How do the Reformers of St. Croix, who are working to secure relief from what they believe to be the oppression of railroads, like the idea of seeing Mr. Mitchell sent to the Senate? They should think of these things before voting a Reform ticket." A G. Cook's War Record- I From tho Watertown Democrat. The Columbus Democrat, in its zeal to serve an anxious candidate, states with apparent candor that Mr.

Cook was a strong Union man during the war, The assertion is intended to convey the impression that he sustained the government in its efforts to suppress the rebellion and save the Union, and for this reason invites criticism of his war record, which otherwise might have been unnecessary. We are not so far from Col ambus but that we know something of this record during the war, and we should feel guilty of base injustice to our soldiers as well as to those who were in fact strong Union men" if we should allow the above statement to go unanswered. Mr. Cook was a "strong union man" in precisely the same sense that Sat. Clark was a "strong uuion man, aim iu uo other.

Although not so conspicuous as Clark, he occupied exactly the same atti tude towards the Government. His sym pathies were all against, and not on the side of, the Government. He denounced Mr. Lincoln, and found fault with every measure employed by him to save the country. He opposed the law allowing soldiers to vote, and never, during the whole struggle, as we ever heard, opened his mouth at a public meeting called to aid in recruiting the army, of iu strengthening the patriotic sentiments of the people and sending words of cheer to the bovs at the front.

Ho endorsed the Ryan Address, which was as thoroughly hostile to the cause of the Union, in language and spirit, as anything ever uttered by Jefl. Davis. Ho denounced the emancipation proclamation. He indorsed, if lie did not help pass, the resolution of the Democratic state convention in 1803, sympathising with Yallandingliam who had at that time been sent across our lines for giving aid and comfort to the enemy. He was a delegate, if we remember rfjfhtly, to the Democratic convention which met in Chicago in 18(14, aud joined iu the disgraceful and bitterly hostile denunciations of everything and everybody except rebels, which transpired in that convention, and eutsidc of it, in the streets of Chicago.

He then declared in the most solemn manner "that the war to suppress the rebellion is a failure," and demanded a cessation of hostilities, in order that negotiations might be opened with traitors in arms; and this within six or eight months prior to the overthrow of the rebellion. These things are all so notorious that we wonder the Democrat should challenge their production. The people of this part of the State understand tho position of Mr. Cook on war issues as well as that of Mr. Clark or anyr oiher so-called Copperhead.

It was not equivocal. It was outspoken and understood by all. He teas on the other side all through the irar. Not only was this so, but such was the feeling among the soldiers and others that in 1SG4, after the McClellan campaign, the boys burned him in effigy in the village of Columbus as a part of the jubilation on election evening. If the Democrat has forgotten this, we have not, and others have not.

They were talked about hero as they were in Columbia county, freely and often, and we are sure we are not mistaken in the representation of his position above given. Wo even heard that he refused to join or take any part in the demonstrations of rejoicing which followed the surrender of Lee's army and the fall of Richmond. We cannot vouch for the truth of this, but are sure we heard so more than once. If this is being a "strong union man" we rejoice that this class were not more numerous-Thai sort of union men were not the kind we longed for in 1 8(3 3 4. was not our Union they aided.

It was not our cause they sustained. They never rejoiced over our victories, nor did they shed any tears over our defeats. It is yet too early to play them in the role the Democrat has attempted; and so.it will bo when the votes are counted iu November. "Anti-Monopoly." It is amusing to watch the organization that assumes to itself the name of "anti-monopoly," and see some of the nominations made, and notice the parties that are so prominent in its affairs. In our neighboring Congressional district, Maj.

Fulton is the nominee for Congress; in the Second district, A. G. Cook, of Columbus; in the Fourth Sam Rindskopf; and in the First, N. D. Fratt.

Fulton is a pleasant, agreeable, talented gentleman, who has made about $75,000 out of the mercantile business, and now purchases tax certificates, mortgages, with his surplus capital. Cook is an attorney, and a good share of his receipts comes from the Milwaukee St. Paul Railway, in whose employ he has been for years. Fratt has been president of a bank in Racine lor years; his money was largely made in that way. Gabo Bouck, who is running for Congress in the Sixth District, is a lawyer, and one ot the largest stockholders in the Oshkosli First National Bank.

He has also been the attorney of the Northwestern Railroad for a number of years. Alex. Mitchell, the Congressman for the First District, is President of the St. Paul Road, owns a bank, and is worth eleven millions of dollars. Now, we don't want it understood that these constitute any legitimate, reasonable, or proper objections to a man making a good Congressman.

Not at all. We do think, with this array of names before them, the "anti-monopolists" would cease making so many objections to Hon. L. B. Caswell, the Republican nominee for Congress in the Madison district, because he is a lawyer and a banker.

Yrou see it don't look consistent to make such a fnss over Caswell, with Mitchell, Cook, Bouck, and the others in a far worse boat. Chippewa Herald. English Election Riot. At Northampton, England, Tuesday Evening1, after the declaration of the vote, a mob ot Bradlaugh's supporters attacked with stones the hotel of Fowler, the Liberal candidate. The police were unable to quell the disturbance, and the riot act was read, the military called out, and other assistance summoned.

In the struggle which followed man' persons were injured. The India Famine Districts.
