An Election in Alabama


A lady in Kingston, Alabama,
has written an appeal to the Chris
tian women of the North, from
which the following is extracted !:
"We will give a slight sketch of
one scene only among the hundreds
that Southern women have to en-
counter. Our recent elections
have been awful. Always hereto
fore, the white men had voted at
eight or ten precincts in each
county but our military monarch
ordered that all should vote at the
courthouse, thereby, in some
counties, collecting together sew
eral thousand negroes, to create
riots with the whites. May God
forgive us if we judge him wrong
fully, but we can see no reason for
this order. Our courthouse is
situated in sparsely settled Sec
tion only four or five families in
the village, mostly women and
children, more than twenty-five
miles from military post. Well,
the night before the election, be-
tween one aud two thousand ne
groes commenced coming in. All
armed with guns, pistols and bowie
knives, they were yelling and fir
ing guns, and tearing around as if
all the demons from the lower re-
gions had been turned loose on earth
to walk to and fro. The din con-
tinued three days, and we did not
see dozen white men during the
time. The military order was for
all groceries to be closed: it was
done here, but whiskey was hand
ed out at back windows as much
as wanted. During the time. one
white man attempted to vote; a
negro guard knocked him down; he
had spirit to fire at him; he made
his escape, and no one was hurt.
But language cannot portray the
uproar of a thousand half drunk
en- negroes in pursuit. The firing,
screeching, swearing and obscene
language were horrible. None
that witnessed that scene can for
get it while life lasts. We
thought then, and think yet, it
would have been a deed of mercy
if Congress had sent old Brownlow
with his torch and turpeRtine, to
exterminate the women and chill
dren South, if he would have laid
our bodies beneath our bloody soil,
with our loved ones gone before.
The most of us have been reduc-
ed from afiiuence to poverty; but
we do not ask aid and are willing
to toll for our living Our young
sons work manfully tosupport their
aged parents, and hundreds of wo-
men in Alabama work daily in
the fields to support their children.
Then the lazy, proving negroes
rob our fields at night Oh! the
iron heel of oppression is truly on
our necks, and is o curse to many
at the South today. But this is
only the beginning of the drama.
God alone knows the sequel"

In the trial of the negro Lea

In the trial of the negro Lea,

der, a negro witness confessed that
each negro, on joining the League,
binds himself by an oath never to
reveal anything that passed, on
pain Of having his head cut of.

The OPERA.-At the Opera House the week
closed as brilliantly as it had opened. Through
out the week, despite the rain and the cold

better appreciate Mr.. Cslabresi's company. What
could be more desirable, in fact than the per

A woMAN's WORK.

We have now before us copy of the Lib
ert , Advocate, published in Liberty, Amite
county, Miss, by Miss Piney Woods For
sythe. The Advocate was established many
years ago by A. W. Forsythe, the present
publisher, who, deeming rightly that no work
that's honest can be anything else than hon
ofable, brought up his daughter in knowl-
edge of all connected with printing house.
Lately his health and energy have failed him,
and now his daughter, well repaying the tut
ton given her, herself assumes the direction
of the paper, and takes upon herself the three
fold duties of manager of the ed torial, me-
clinical and business departments Of the
journal. This is an instance unparalleled so
r1r, we believe, in the South, and we are glad
70 tell of it. For years past the youth of the
South, both men and women, have been ava
kening to the fact that the title of laborer is
one to be worn as a crown of honor by its
lossessor that the right to work is the no.
blest right mankind can claim and here is

have cause to regret the step which she
has taken in the path of progress. We
say God speed the woman who, facing the
gorgon stare with which conventionalism
would petrify those who dare to run counter
10 its dictates, has taken upon herself duties
never before undertaken by woman in the
South, but which she has proved herself
amply able to discharge, and which there is
no reason why she should not perform.
Here is what Miss Forsythe says for herself
in her salutatory:
In assuming the position Of publisher Of

sion thstSt may be asserted by some of my friends
that am passing beyond the legitimate sphere

The Photographic Magazine, published in
New Orleans by Messrs. Manley Il Nixon, is
one of the most creditable emanations we
have ever met with from the Southern press,
or indeed from any press in America The
young men who started the enterprise started
it under discoursging circumstances. The
science of photography had few proselytes in
New Orleans when the Photographic Maya
zine began its career. From all parts of
Louisiana and States adjoining, the editors
now find subscribers and correspondents ask
ing for further information. Young men
about town, who have been slumbering in
stores and counting-houses on salaries of $50
or SEQ month, and who find demand for
photographers, are anxious to learn an art
which can be easily acquired, and which,
when once acquired affords certain return
of ten to twenty dollars per day, according to
the intelligence and industry of the writer.
Young men, better yourselves, and call at
"a Camp street, NIanley & Nixon will satisfy
all inquiries.
