Eggleston the Radical nominee for
Governor, under the Menagerie abor-
ton of constitution, has not denied
our charge, that he went to Washing
ton, after the nomination of Governor
Humphreys, and returned with an or
der for his removal. Would any hon
orable competitor have been guilty of
such an act of underhand warfare :?
No wonder Mr.. Lewis, of Ohio
who according to the Columbus Index,
had employed Eggleston to superin-
tend his plantation and discharged him
as unworthy of the trust, stated that if
he had known that the people of Mis-
sissippi were so hard pressed for a
Governor as to take that man, he would
have sent them a worthier one.

Outrageous Attempt
ofIoyal Ieaguers to
hti1llidate V OterS-
INTERFERENCE WITH ELEC-
TION THREATENED BY
AN ARMED MOB!

This morning at day-break from
seventy-five to one hundred Loyal
League negroes of this place formed
a procession, and with fife and
drum, and in military order, under the
lead of the negro Rolla Williams,
marched to Brandon, the county seat
of Rankin, with the object of infuen-
cling the election in that county. When
advised Of this military movement on
the part of the Leaguers a deputation
of our citizens waited on Gen. Biddle
to request that a force be despatched
at once to preserve order and to pro-
tect the citizens of Rankin, white and
colored, from this lawless attempt to
interfere with the freedom of the elect
i've franchise. That officer replied
that upon information previously re-
ceived, force amply sufficient to
preserve the peace had been already
sent over. .s.g
The people of Rankin are amply
able to protect themselves from any
outside interference of lawless bands
but they do not wish to be driven to
the necessity of taking the law into
their own hands.
The authors of this most audacious
and law-defying attempt to violate the
purity of the ballot box, will doubtless
be brought to speedy account by the
military authorities.

" No election in Rankin - "No
election in Simpson, exclaims the
Radical Pilot onshearing the news of
the deluge of votes, white and black,
against the Mongrel Constitution in
those counties. That is rather cool
way Of setting aside elections, The
self-complacency of the Radical organ
is only equaled by the custom related
of the Chief of the Natchez tribe of In
dams. Every morning, stalking out
Of his hut, it was his habit to give the
sun nod, bid it smoke its pipe, and
with his finger indicate the course it
should take. Will the Pilot condescend
to tell the good people of the counties
which are rejecting the Convention in
iquity, what it calls an election" and
when they will be permitted to vote
No "election" indeed Wait till the
thunders coming rolling up from the
Democratic strongholds, and you will
be struck so dumb that you will not
hear the sound, nor know what sen

outrageous Violence BY L0yal

The Loysl League conspirators, In
spired by base white men, have organ
lied, in many portions of the State
where they have dared to do it, q reign
ofzterror, for the punishment and in
timidation of the freedmen who have
come out from their Ubiquitous asso-
citation and joined the Democratic
party. An example of the many out
stances which these, demented and
knavish wretches are practising for
the purpose of preventing the free
exercise of the right of thought and
action, is furnished in the following
statement, which we find in the last
Columbus sentinel. But for these dis
plays of savage vengeance, by the de-
luded negroes, under the lead of bad
white men, who counsel these acts of
violence, but take care to keep their
own vile earcasses out of harms way,
the majority in this State against the
Mongrel Constitution, would not have
been less than 100000:
OUTRAGE UPON A DEMOCRATIC FREED
MAN.-Frank Blake and Geo, Young,
two Demo cratic freedmen, had made
speeches at Starkville on Friday. Re
turning homeward on Saturday, Frank
continued his journey to this place,
but George remained at Artesia.-
When night came, he obtained permits
sion from Mr.. Jackson to sleep on the
upper gallery Of his Hotel. "A lot of
Loyal Leaguers, learning that George
was at the Hotel, at late hour of the
night, repaired thither, and demanded
that he should be turned out of the
house. With timidity that we have
heard highly censured, the proprietor
| at once yielded to their demands, and
made George leave the premisis. No
sooner had he descended the. steps,
than he was seized by the mob, con
sisting of sir unarmed negroes, hnr-
ried off to distance Of mile or two,
on the branch road, where he was bru-
tally beaten by the black demons who
had him in charge, and who evidently
intended to murder him, but their vic
tim making sudden dash, succeed
in escaping from their clutches. ,1h
| George arrived in town on Saturday.
and yesterday made the necessary aft
dayits to secure the apprehension Of
the ringleaders, whom he identified
and the necessary writs have been is
sued. We trust the guilty parties will
be arrested, and receive such punish
ment as their dastardly conduct merits

REMOVING DISABILITIES FROM Ex-
REBELs.-Two bills, containing the
names of some twelve hundred ex-reb-
els who desire their political disabili-
ties removed by act of Congress, were
before the House of Representatives
yesterday. They caused quite an an
mated debate, the democrats opposing
them, though favoring a sweeping
measure of the same kind. Several
radicals also opposed relieving these
ex-rebels, who have gone over to their
party principally with the hope of
being allowed to hold office. The
vote being seventy eight in favor to
fifty-fve against the bills, and as two
thirds of the members present and
voting are required to pass all such
measures, the Speaker declared the
conference report rejected. Suisse
quently, however, the vote was recon
sidered and the subject postponed
until Monday next. During the debate
on the motion for reconsideration
Mr.. Farnsworth Radical) declared
that s'if Congress did not remove po-
litical disabilities from white men in
the Southern States the consequence
would be that there would be white
mans party and a black mans party
there, and the black mans party would

stand by Your Country.

Hon. Alexander Fl. Stephens, in
recent communication, advises the
young men of the South to stay at
home. The voice of patriotism APP
peals to them to stay at home. The
voice of Reason urges them to stay at
home. Do not abandon your native
land. Do not desert your bleeding
country. "Don't give up the ship
Your poor oppressed, desolated South
cannot spare you. She wants the aid
of all her sons. Their stodt hearts and
strong arms are needed here. The
conservative people of the North are
striving to restore the country to
peace and prosperity again and they
want all the assistance and encourage
ment that we can give them. 1t is
true it may not be great but remem-
Der how often one vote has turned the
tide of political victory or the scale Of
political contest Remember the value
of one vote. Stay, then, and give that
vote to your country to the Constitp-
ton, and to liberty. 1t is vote, not
for yourself alone, but for your wives
and children, for your friends, and for
your posterity, for a cause that should
be dear to every advocate of Constitu
tional freedom.
Remember too, that there is q soil
to cultivate, ruined fortunes to retrieve,
commercial and mechanical prosperity
to build up. Remember, in short, that
the South wants you in hundred
ways-she cannot spare you-she has
right to demand your presence and
your services.
She is your Mother-your fond,
loving Mother; and though she can
give you nothing but poverty and po--
ftical humiliation now; yet she will
cling to you with true affection, and IN
her day of peace and prosperity will
not forget you for your filial devotion
and patriotic adherence to her rights
and interests, Stand by your Coun-
try, then, young men-stand by the
South; and abandon all idea of seek
ing fortune and political peace IN
foreign lands. God has given you

Brutal and COwardIy Murder of
f-.-- w. B. Turner, Jr.

With feelings of poignant grief. the
depth of which it were impossible to
describe, we are called upon to chron-
icle the preparation of one of the
most brutal and cowardly murders
ever committed in this Or any State
We allude to the murder of W. B.
Turner Jr, in this town, on last Tues
day evening, by Samuel Sanders. The
circumstances as detailed by those
who witnessed it, are as follows: Tur-
ner, at the usual hour in the evening,
started from his place of business for
his home. When he got near San
ders' place of business, the said
Sanders approached him, and began a
quarrel with him. Turner told him to
stop, not to advance on him. Sanders,
finding that Turner had a pistol, while
he had two, became alarmed. and said
to Turner ~ am not armed" Turner
said "well, Mr.. Sanders, want no
advantage of you, and indeed desire
no difficulty and threw his pistol be-
hind him in the scabbard- Sanders
asked him if he would fight him with
pistols. Turner responded that he
would. Sanders said ''hold on min
ute, then," and went into his house,
Turner supposing he had gone for
pistol. Sanders passed out at his back
door, entered another house, where he
had doubled barrel shot gun prepared
and awaiting to perform its deadly
office. He came out of the house with
the gun, and without giving any warn
ing to Turner. shot-the whole load
entering Turner's body, who walked
say eighty yards, and fell dead, his on
ly words being to a friend clay me
down, am shot all to pieces" San
ders had premeditated this murder, as
every circumstance plainly indicates,
and selected a time when few people
were on the street. He made his es-
cape, and has not yet been taken. The
death of w. B. Turner, in such way;
naturally produces gloom in tue
community. He was much liked by
all who knew him. He was brave,
noble hearted, generous man, who
scorned to take advantage. He was
fine publisher, and has long been
connected in that capacity with the
press. He was buried with the hon
ors of Odd Fellowship, of which order
he was popular and worthy member,
and his remains were followed to the
grave by large concourse of friends
and acquaintance.
