Mark Valentines address TO the Voters

On accountof the forcble manner in which

like the Indians gun, costing more than they
come to. He acknowledges the receipt Of
State Warrants to the amount of $4,000, pay
able out of the surplus revenue, and then sets
out to demonstrate that he has disposed of the
same, in the most sklful, as well as the most
economical manner In this we think he has
most signally failed--per example, take his own

We publish in todays paper communi-
cation signed Hogan, on account of the
high regard and esteem which we hold for
the author-and also we entertain the same
views as he does of the Briscoe bill, and
think it should be the watch.word and
rallying cry in the election Of members Of
the Legislature, land even Judges. But
at the same time we cannot lend our aid
in defeating Jefferson Davis, on accoun: of
his oposilion to the Briscoe bill. The con-
vention which nominated him knew Lis
views OH that question, and we aided in
procuring his nomination, which nomina-
ton was hailed by the convention and the
people, as triumph over Choctaw. aud
ChickaSaw frauds.
We know of no means by which this
question could reach the Hallsof Congress.
But it will reach the Legislature of the |
State, and the courts of the country,
therefore, in the election of members TO
Congress, it should have nothing TO do, |
but in the election of members TO the Leg
islaturc, and of Judges, il you please, it
should be made a question.

UNFORTUNATE OCCURRENCE.-Earl
on Monday morning last, DIR. William b.
Dozer attempted TO chaSlise a negro man
named Landy, whom he had hired, for
using insolent and threatening language
towards him. The negro resisted, and
made an assault on the DIR. who managed
10 get out Of his way-the negro then at
tempted 10 geta weapon, with which
no doubt, he intended TO despatch the DIR.
and while in the act Of graspng the wea-.
pom, the DIR. shot him. The negro died
IN a few minutes.
Dr. Dozier Immediately surrendered to
the proper authorities, and the case under
went thorough and patient investigation
before Justice Edmonson yesterday, which
resulted in an honorable acquittal Of Doct.
Dozier-the court being fully satisfied that
the Dr. acted solely IN defence OF himself
and family. However much the circum-
stance is 10 be regretted, public sentiment.
after full knowledge Of the affair, cannot
but justify the Doctors course on this try
ing occasion. The facts Of the case will
be submitted to an impartial public in our

ALABAMA ELECTION.

The whole Democratic ticket was car
ried in Mobile county. Martin received
small majority over Terry. Bargains
majority is large over Dunn, the wing can
didate for Congress. Seawell is elected TO
the State Senate. Smith, Austill, and
Brown, all democrats, are elected to the
Legislature. Books elected Circuit Clerk,
and Rust, County Clerk.
Paine, DEM, is elected by large majo-
rity over Erwin, wing, TO Congress.
We are fearful that Martin, the indepen.
dent candidate for Governor, is elected
over Terry, the Democratic nominee. Re-
port says, that in Sumter, Martins MAORI
ty is 200; in Greene, $50; Pickens, 1900.
If this is correct, we look on Martins cleo
ton as certain. The democratic legisla.
tive ticket is elected in Sumter.
