Tuc Lare Teratste Lyncuixe Case 1N a mea | i {

Some eighteen months since a wealthy farmer of Kentucky, living near Campbellsville, was murdered and oy of | between $5000 and S60U0, by parties who entered his louse | at midaight, and accomplished the doable deed while he was | sound!y sleeping in his bed. Mr. Simpson was wealthy and highly respectable, and of course the cowardly murder caused & great excitement in his community. Soon after the guilty culprits were discovered and arrested, and an attempt was made by the populace to hang them. which was frustrated. Afterwards they were taken fromthe jail at Russeliville to that at Greensburg. Now the second and awful tragedy | opens, on the 1th, {Weduesday last,) as reported to the Louisvii’e Journal :

“This morning, according to a previous understanding, men from this and the adjoining counties commenced gatber- | ing at this place, and at an early hour took up their wareh | to Greensburg, meeting with accessions at different points | along the road until the crowd numbered two or three hun-| dred mew, including a considerable number of spectators. | The mob proceeded to the jail, which is built of stone and | very strong, and found the doors locked and the juilor gone. | A number of men immediately seized a large piece of heavy timber, and with several tremendous blows, burst the doors | from their hinges. An inner door was speedily broken with crow bars aud sledge hammers, and a portion of the mob, stood in the debtor’s room, fronting the eell in which the) miserable men were confined. The locks of the cell-doors | were soon broxen, and the doors pried open, when a most} horrid and sickening and revolting sight met the gaze of; those paesent.

One of the men, Elias Scaggs, a man weighing two hun-| dred pounds, was found weltering in a Jarge pool of blood in| the last agonies of death, the blood spurting in large jets| trom a ghastly and self-inflicted wound in the neck, having | with a razor cut his throat from ear to ear. His body, con- | vulsed in death, was dragged into the debtor’s room, and | from thence down a fight of steps on tothe street. The} remaining three men, viz: Bill Saul Thompson, Sican Des- pano and George Hunter, were then brought from the jail, bound and mounted bebind mea on horseback, when the crowd, in double file, amid throngs of spectators, took up their march to this place, a distance of some twe've miles, during which two of the miserable men displayed considerable firmness, asserting their innocence in the wost positive terms. Thompson wept and prayed audibly a good part of the way, calling on all to witness his innocence, The crowd having arrived at the place, determined to lynch Beno also, a negro, belonging t> the murdered man, who had been implicated by Scaggs as the real murderer,

At this juncture, amid the yellings and howlings of the crowd, the expostulations of the sheriff and our excelleut jailor, and “amid confusion worse coufounded,” Robert Colvin, Ksq., a prominent and influential citizen, having, succeeded i geining au elevated position and in catching the ear of the crowd, addressed it in a short speech, which, for point, appropriateness and good sense, | have hardiy ever heard excelled ; and it wasas effoctur) as it was sensible, for after an unsuecessful effort of ove or two inexperienced orators, the mob left the negro in jail and vonducte three men a short distance to an elu tree, and began making | preparations to hang them. At Thomp-on’s request, a prayer | was offered in their behalf, he praying and weeping aloud | during the time. He was then mounted on a horse, and | after again asserting bis innocence for the ast time, a rope | was put about his neck, the end thrown over a limb, the horse driven from under, and Thompson was launched into | eternity. Ile seemed to die easy—oue or two spasmodic | jerkings of the limbs, a shudder, and all was over.

Despano soon shared a similar fate, dying much harder. | At this stage Hunter gave evidence of making a clean breast, | which, after some delay, and a good deal of reluctance, he did, confessing to the guilt of Scaggs, Taompsov and Hunter, | and implicacing five others as being concerned in the murder. | Toeir names are as follows: [enry Seaggs, Jerry Seaggs, | Lioyd McDuniel, John Underwood, and a son-in-law of Simpson. ‘(he latter is under arrest, bat is, [ believe, gene- rally cousidered innocent. ‘he sheriff, with a posse, is out to-night to arrest the others.

INFORMATION FOR THE PEOPLE.

The following Review of some of the Acts and Measures of the Liberal Government of Prince Edward Island since the introduction of Responsible Government, has been pre-

pared under the direction of the Executive Committee of the

Central Liberal Society, and is now published for the Infor-

mation of the People.

| ‘The great exertions which are making to mislead the people of P. BE. Island, and to detach their minds from duly esti- mating the advantages which have accrued to them since the system of constitutional government, enjoyed elsewhere by ‘their fellow subjecte, has been extended to them, have ren- ‘dered it necessary that a review of the subject should be published, together with an account of those public events which have occurred, and an account to be given not only of those remedial messures which have been passed aud become law, under the auspices of the Liberal Government, but of those likewise which have been defeated, after having passed here, by proprietary influence at Home.

In order that the public may form a just estimate of the advantages that they now enjoy, it is necessary to point out | their position before the introduction of Responsible Govern- ment. At that time there existed, as nt present, a Lieutenant Governor, an Executive Council, a Legislative Council, and a House of Assembly; but the powers of the Lieutenant Go- yerner were under no constitutioual control, except that of the Colonial Minister. That Minister, therefore, bad it in his power, for good or for evil, at his own discretion, or under | proprietary influence, to interfere largely with Colonial affairs, in a degree indeeed which is now greatly diminished by the substitution of a constitutional system. :

At that time, too, likewise, the Executive Council was neither in practice nor in name responsible in any way to the people, through their representatives. Provided the supplies

CUARLOTTETOWN, P. E. T, DECEMBER 6, 1858,

| members of both branches of the Legislature who concur with ‘the majority of the peopic’s representatives, Through the people then, inasmuch as the Licut. Governor cannot as for- imerly act independently of their chosen representatives, a ‘direct influence is always excrcised over the Representative lof the Crown.

We now come to the Executive Council. That body, in whose hands are placed not only the responsibility of executing the laws faithfully, but that of enacting new ones and pro- posing measures suited to the ever varying and progressing wants of the people; but likewise it is now necessary that they shall be members of the Legislature, for the two-fold purpose of keeping together a party sufficiently numerous to carry out necessary measures, and besides to be present at all times in their places in the Legislature to be responsible for the acts, good or bad, of their Government, and this iu both branches.

The Legislative Council is now selected, not, as formerly, solely by the will of the Liecat. Governor for subservient qualities, but by their connection with the Government and their fellows in the Assembly. They too may be reached by popular influence. As they are, however, less subject to this influence in its direct application, they oceupy the position which the constitution has assigned them as a medium power 'to preserve the true balance between the royal and popular interests; but as they cannot vote money supplies when these are wanting, their functions become virtually suspended. Their power is, however, sometimes called into exercise in

that it was exhibited in its true legal adaptation when it addressed Lieut. Governor Sir Alexander Bannerman, pray- ing him to dissolve a House of Assembly because it had not ihe confidence of the people. To that independent act the Liberals stand greatly indebted ; it was the crisis not only of the party but of public liberty.

Let us now come to the Assembly. We scarcely need re- capitulate the necessity of the salaried officers of the Goyern- ment being members of the Legislature,—we have before reinarked that there is no other method of preserving popular control. ployed against the increase of members in the House of Assembly ; but nothing is plainer than the fact that if too much influence were previously in the hands of the Govern-

'meat when the members of the Assembly were twenty-four, | , ; - seeing that a large proportion might hold office, that influence

must be greatly lessened when the members were increased to thirty. ‘This out-ery against the Liberals cao ouly impose on the igaorant. Again an advantage in increasing members is derived from the larger field aflurded for the selection of competent otlicers.

With regard to departmental officers havipg seats in the Legislature, we think we have given sufficient reasons for the practice, and will merely add that the want of this system is considered by all intelligent reflecting men in the United States to be a great defect in the constitution of that Republic. The increase of the members of the House of Assembly, and the withdrawal of the Collector of Imposts from that body, indicate the Liberal party's desire to govera by the truost

by a Lieut. Governor's Message; but whether they were or were not taken up depended solety on individual eaprice; and

In a few words, the official officers could maintain their places | whether they satisied she people, or whether they did not; | and when the change was proposed, they mination to maintain the mouopoly they e&joyed,—in this, | however, they happily failed. There was thea tio occasion | for any party connection between the t Legislature ; the Lieut.

The House of Assembly was chosen by a limited consti- | tueucy. Personal predilections or local ties, rather than | fituess for a more enlarged and liberal system of legislation, |

‘guided that constituency in its selection; and no one who!|

held an office bad the slightest feeling of responsibility to the |

people, or ouly so far as concerned money votes for loca) | purposes.

Besides this impure state of the Houses of Legislation, the | members of which must, if they desired office, conuciliate, not | the people, but the Lieut. Governor, who, owing to his short |

A multitude of offices were held by one persoa, which had the effect of rendering it near to impossible that the knowledge of public | business should be attainable except by a very few; and all country residents were virtually excluded alike from the cares, the knowledge or the profits of office, and nothing was dis- tributed aceording to fituess, but to the claimants of family connection and aflivity. A good clerk was a desideratum, bat any popular or higher description of talent was not re- quired. 1t was a matter of indifference whether the oficial could or could not command attention in the Legislature.

Phe inciease of the constituency is likewise another liberal |

franchized, which gave them a power which they most | tyrannically exercised. But in proportion as the Hlective} Vraochise is extended toa greater number, so knowledge will | be diffused, and such results will be the Jess attainable.

We now come to the acts and deeds of the Liberal Govern-

in which they have failed. The subject mest prominent in interest here for many years |

the condition of the latter, never losing sight of the fact that | all of them have received the unvaried and strenuous oppo- | .< ° . ‘ : ! sition, sometimes too successful, of those very partics to whom |

again entrast ‘he management of their affairs.

First of all comes the One-ninth Bill. Up to the passing of this Act, every tenant holding a lease or agreement, ex- pressed so that he was liable to pay one shilling sterliag per ucre, was legaily understood to bave undertaken a rent of; one shilling and six-penee currency. The new Bill deter-| mines that such a person shall pay only one shilling currency, with the addition of one-niath, the original value of one shil- ling sterling. Noy it has been said that the rents have not often been otherwise exacted; but there was the power, and} that power involved the entire ruia of the independence of | the tenant, inasmuch as it always hung over him as a thing at any time which might drive him into compliance to give | up his farm, to compromise his political principles, in short, | to render him a slave by the threat of exacting arrears eal. | culated on that rate of currency.

Secondly came the Tenant Compensation Act,—a measure | about which there has been more falsehood and misrepresen- | tation than any other. This was sent Home, but defeated | there by proprietary influence, on the alleged ground that | it was an unjust measure, intended to transfer the property | of the landlord to the tenaut. Now nothing can be farther

support of popular rights aud feelings; nor let it be forgotten |

Much clamour and misrepresentation bas been em- |

from the circulation of money io the district where it is ob. tained. These things being so, the Land Purchase Bil] Wag determined on and carried through. It is an Act which hag these perticular reoommendations: it is just to all parties, j¢ leaves the proprietor nothing to complain of, and to the tenant it gives the power of becoming a freeholder on termge wo where else to be equalled. £30,000 was the sum autho. vised by this Legislature to be laid out in the purchase of lands; but many, very many of the teuants desired the ex. tension of its benefits to be provided for themselves,

these the most forward were Lord Selkirk’s tenants: a petitioned Lis Lordsbip, with success, to’se!l his estatertothy Government, that they might be retailed to them,—yet thesy very men, we trust not all of them, were so base as to retarg as their representatives Col. Gray aud Mr. Douse; the latter actually, at the very time, being employed in London om-the errand of defeating this measure, if possible—thereby they eviueed the bondage in which they are held, and thatt have not the manliness to throw it off. Now, partly on their account, it had become necessary to apply more than £30,009 to the purchase of lands. <A Bill, therefore, authorising g loan of £100,000 passed the Legislature, in spite of Messrs, Douse and Co.; but to borrow the sum of £100,000 it was necessary to procure the guarantee of the British Parliament embodied in an Act. This was undertakeo by Mr. Labou. chere, the late Colonial Secretary, who, when he left office was succeeded by Lord Stanley, who entered fully into the views of this Liberal Government, explaiuing to the House of Commons that it was an act of justice which he claimed for us; and when he left cffice, the necessary Bill wasin the order book for the second reading. There could be no doabt

the Judian department, and his office was taken by the present incumbent, Sir Kdward Lytton Bulwer, with whom it appears. proprietary influence has been at work. Apparently the back-stairs entrance of the Colonial Office has been onee more made accessible to the Island's enemies; and the proprietors, sooner than not gain a victory over the constitutional Liberals, have caused that measure to be, for the time at least, defeated. (To be concluded in our next.)

There existed formerly no audit of accounts, as there is| now every quarter; and who can tell what was the state of any of the public offices at that time? True, however, it,

until his dishonesty is proved.

The system of which we have givra this brief notice was, entirely astray from that ua ler which the British Constitution intended we should live; and bad as the description we have given demonstrates its theory to be, in all the subordinate practises to which it gave rise it was ten times worse ; suffice it to say that it was a hateful! and seifisu monopoly no longer to be endured by an enlightened people.

Things were in this state whea the Liberal party sprung | up. We have yet amongst us those by whom it was formed, | whilst they were eagerly followed, and all associated to esta- |

t '

i blish that tree and noble coustitution which is the birth-right So

of every British subject, and the main-spring of which is Responsible Government.

We shall bye-and-bye come to the acts and deeds of the Liberal party, arising out of the power conferred on them ; but we will first explain the principle of Respsnsible Govern- ment; how it is maintained, and in what it consists.

Virst!y, it is a system under which it is impossible to govern in contradiction to the popalar will. Now this is ensured by

to the great variety of leasehold tenures.

‘4 course which under Responsible Government would have) desire to re-let at a higher rate than claimed from the to be_ ejected occupant, it appointed tribunals before whom, in ease |

of reference, an award was to be made, as well protecting the | landiord from unjust demands a3 the tenant from absolute | ruin. As to its principle, it is one which now, in ibis very _

We now come to that measure which ought to have been | the crowning measure for the relief of the tenantry, and which | exlibits the desire of the Liberal party to bring to a satis-! factory conclusion that deep-seated agitation and real mischief which arises out of the uasetiled state of the land tenures.

It has been truly said that there might be great difficuliies | in escheating the proprietary lands of this Island—that |
