A M onstef M ass Meeting
OF THE
DEMOCRACY OF HINDS
Torch Light Procession, Speeches, dc.


The Mass Meeting of the white and
colored Democracy of Kinds and
Rankin in this city last night was the
grandest affair ever witnessed in this
State. The independent voters of the
two counties, as distinguished from
the Leaguers, having been thrown into
the same Senatorial District and
therefore especially connected in their
political interests by the Mongrel
Convention, determined to have joint
ly grand jubilee in honor Of the tri-
umph which the Democratic hosts are
winning in this State and in token Of
their resolve to save the District from
the Radical spoilers. In the forenoon
a deputation of several hundred col
ored citizens accompanied by General
Robt. Lowry, Messrs. Mayors, Ware,
Reynolds, Cooper, Sears and others
reached the city and were escorted to
the Capitol Grounds where's collation.
was prepared. Before night had fair
ly set in, an immense procession I'M
der the guidance of Capt. Thomas
Green, and his efficient assistants, and
which was equally composed Of
whites and blacks, was in mo-
ton, with torches, music, ban
ners, transparencies, which moved
through the principal streets with
great cheering and rejoicing, in mag
nificent style. Hating in front of the
Capitol, at half-past 10 clock, elo-
quent and stirring speeches were de
livered by Messrs. Thos. j. Wharton,
Col. A. g. Mayors, Gen. Robt. Lowry,
Hon. r. Cooper and Capts. Ware and
McCaskill, and by Messrs. Norman.
Saunders and Mosely, colored orators.
At late hour the meeting adjourn
ed, after listening to an inspiring adj
dress from Gen. Freeman, "Our Great
Organizer" as he was appropriately
styled on one of the numerous appro-
pirate transparencies that were borne
in the procession. ''Three cheers"
were proposed, and given with hearty
good will, by the assembled Democ-
racy of Kinds, and we repeat the sen
timent for the response of the whole
| State

The division of Texas is one of the
schemes which the Radical Rump pro
poses in order to accomplish its parti-
zan ends Even Gov. Pease, the Rad
ical Governor of that State, by mill
tary appointment, opposes it. He
says that the population of Texas
does not exceed 100000, and in the
present impoverished condition of
the people, and that they could i'll af-
ford to bear the expenses which the
new governments would entail, The
burden would diminish their ability to
support a proper system of public
education and develop the resources
Of the State. The Governor con-
cludes his remarks on the subject with
the observation that " should such a
division hereafter be desired by our
people, it can be more readily inau-
gurated and carried out after we shall
have been restored to the Union than
it can be while we are without repre-
sentation in Congress"

OUTRAGEOUS ASSAULT OF LEAGUERs
ON A CoLoRED DEMoCRAT.-An act of
unprovoked violence was perpetrated
by one of Rolla Williams Leaguers
this morning on colored Democrat
Of Rankin. He was struck over the
head, and badly though we hope not
fatally injured. 1t is proper to state
that our Rankin colored friends came
without arms by invitation Of their
Democratic brethren of Kinds, and
have deported themselves in manner
becoming peaceful, patriotic and law

UNFORTUNATE SHOOTING AFFAIR
AN OLD CITIZEN KILLED-It is our
painful duty to record the death of Mr..
Laurence Genella, one of the oldest
citizens of Vi-ksburg, and one who
though in comparatively humble sta
ton, was very generally respected.
We give the following particulars as
related to us by the sons of the de-
ceased. At late hour yesterday af-
ternoon, Mr. Genella, who is proprie-
tor of bar-room on China street, be-
tween Washington and Walnut, OBJ
served Mr. Walker Cowan lying in an
alley adjoining his saloon, in what lie
supposed to be state of stupefied in
toxication He Immediately pro
ceeded to awaken Cowan, and advised
him to seek quarters elsewhere. Cow
an arose and attempted to follow Mr.
Genella, insisting on having drink
of whisky. This was refused, how
ever, and the door was about to be
closed against him, when he drew a
revolver, and fired four shots, two of
which took effect in Mr.. Genella's
head, the remaining two in his legs
The victim dropped to the floor, and
lived but few moments after receiv-
ing his wounds. At the time of his
death, he was sixty years of age,
forty of which had been passed in
this city.
In addition to the above account,
we have heard that Mr.. Genella struck
Cowan in the face previous to the
shooting. but we could trace this
statement to no responsible source.
The affair created intense excite
ment on the streets, and had not the
prisoner been conveyed to the Jail at
once, it is more than probable that a
scene of violence would have been i'm
mediately enacted. Vicksburg Times.

1t is hardly necessary to add that l am in

In order to fully appreciate General Dx,s
patriotism, 1t shouid be known that he intends
returningato this country in the spring, no mat
ter now the election results; his advocacy of
Deberal Grant, therefore, originates in no desire
to retain his position abroad. His family have
already returned.
What, perhaps, is still more to the credit of
the illustrious patriot who has served the coun-
Try so long in affairs of state as well as in the
field, is that In January last, when his own
name was prominently mentioned in connection
with the Democratic nomination, and when the
ground that the Democratic Convention would
take was still uncertain, General Dix wrote
