We do not know—have not the least idea, in fact—who took part ia last night’s bloody transaction at Lake City, but we do know that it should receive the unquali fied condemnation of all order-lov ing, law-abiding citizens. It is a brutal outrage, a black stain upon our fair civilization, and forces the query : Do we live in a Christian land, or do the foul fiends of hell hold sway over us ? We deeply deplore the crime, and would gladly welcome a report of its utter untruth, or even of its great exaggeration. Let us hope that a fuller account may relieve it of its heinousness.
