A BAD state of affairs exists in Newton
county, East Mississippi, and has extended
into the adjoining counties. Some time
since, there was an encounter between GER
tain negroes who were found out to be en-
gagged in robberies, one of whom special
officer was carrying to Jail, and that officer
and his relatives. in which the latter were
killed. Attempts were made to arrest the
murderers, and these were eluded through
the management of Bureau officer. The
negroes escaped at the time, but it is re-
ported that they were afterwards caught
and executed BY order of lynch law tribu-
nal. Gen. Gillem, it seems, has determined
to arrest both court, jury and executioner
in the latter case, and hunt is made for
them accordingly.

Jay Cooke is worth $15000,0O0. He
made this huge fortune in manipulating
the ''public blessing" the three thousand
million debt. Six millions of working men
are toiling and sweating to keep up the in
terest on the fifteen millions made in four
short years, and the interest on the balance
of the $3000,000000 other money-bloated
non-producers hold, in the shape of public
bonds. The mechanic works ten hours a
day; three hours day he tolls for the Jay
Cooke tribe, who quarterly expect theirin
terest. The working man pays for all he
or his family require double what he other
wise would have to pay had we none of the
Jay Cooke class OF public bondholders to
take care of. The Jay Cookies of the coun-
try live in luxury and have not an earthly
want ungratified, while starvation is
taking place in the ruined South, and hun
dreds of thousands in the North are ap-
preaching that condition. Oily tongues
and tacile pens are painting the blessings
of public debt, while penury and want
are spreading over the land. A corrupt
and profligate Congress is squabbling over
the spoils in Washington, while business is
PROSTATE and the country is trembling on
the verge of ruin. There is no hope of re-
lief from these evils except in a change OF

a fair trial, and have demonstrated their
incapacity to administer the Government

A GERMAN ASTRONOMER, Prof. Schwabe,
reports that he thinks he has discovered
signs of vegetation on the surface of the

extending across the slopes of the highest
mountains in the moon. These have been
variously explained, some regarding them
as the beds of dried up streams, others as
the channels left by torrents of lava, others
as being of different origin. Prof. Schwabe
claims to have discovered in these lines
greenish color which appears at certain
seasons, lasts few months, and then dis
appears. He therefore regards them as
belts of vegetation.

TO.day.

Make 1t a Point to Vote the Uyz-
scratched Democratic Ticket
To-day.
1t always happens that considerations of
local character enter into our Municipal
elections. Democrats, confident of the
strength of their party, in this city, deem
it unnecessary to turn out in full force at
the April election. They appear to think
that majority of few hundred for the
Mayor or Marshal. as the case may be, is
all that is necessary. Practically it is
An election is an election, whether it be by
majority of two hundred or of twelve
hundred; but in time like the present,
when the votes of Townships and Wards
and Cities are scanned with almost the
interest that attaches to the result of State
elections, it becomes important that all
Democrats should make it point to vote
at the Municipal election, and vote as
straight ticket as they consider it their
duty to vote in the fall.
| In the fall of 1866, the Democrats carried
this city by majority of 1,069; and be-
cause, "for auld acquaintance sake"

majority of the Democratic candidate was
cut down to 566, the Journal heralded it as
a tremendous gain to the Republican party
"a gain of 506. 1t represented that the
Democrats had made most persistent hSht
had long before organized their clubs in
the respective wards-had represented that
the issue was between Negro Suffrage and
its opposite-and that despite all this the
Republican gain was 506, and that this was
not transitory gain; but permanent gain,
as the result in the fall would show. This

Something for lrishnnen and Cath
Olics--A Radical Legislator Says
Won are Not Half so Good as Mig.
gers.
OF all the abuse ever heaped upon Irish
men, and Catholics in general, in a legisla-
tive body, the worst was perpetrated on
Thursday by lunatic called Hickman, a
Radical member of the Pennsylvania House
OF Representatives. and which was appar-
emily indorsed by the Speaker of the House,
who ruled that Hickman was in order, and
allowed him to proceed with his foul
mouthed TRADE. In few days we hope to
print his speech in full, but for the present
must content ourselves with the following
abstract from yesterdays Ctronicle-good
Republican authority-which, by the way,
is enough for Irishmen to read and ponder
over. Here it is:
"While Mr.. Hickman was making a
speech on the registration bill, in the
House. this morning, he bitterly denounced
the Catholics, saying that an intelligent ne
gro was better than an ignorant Irish Cath
olic.''
"Mr. Brennan Oemocrat), of Luzerne,
Indignantly denleu the asserIioh, anu ue-
nounced Mr.. Hickman in strong terms for
using such words. A general sparring
match all round followed, creating quite
an excitemett t. On Mr.. Hickman
resuming, Mr.. Armstrong, (Republi-
CAM, of Lancaster, moved the pre-
vious question, but it was not sus-
tanned. Hickman continued in an earn
est strain, lauding the negro and repeating that
he toas better than an Iristnaae. This brought
several Republican members to their feet,
and the previous question was again called
but not sustained, and Mr.. Hickman pro-
ceeded. Armstrong, (Republican,) of Ian
caster, raised a point of order but the
Speaker ru,ed it out and again Mr.. Hick-
man went on. There was much confusion
and feeling throughout. Mr.. Hickman
charged the Republican members with
counting the Irish vote instead of defend
ing the negro"

GEORGE T. Brow
Carrying Out the Decision of the
People of Ohio at the Ballot

The people of Ohio at the last election,
decided by an overwhelming majority not
to admit negroes to the privileges of the
ballot box or break down the distinctions
of race which had heretofore been recog-
nized. In conformity with this decision,
the House of Representatives at Columbus,
has passed an amendment to the Election
law declaring that no officer of election
shall be liable'to punishment for refusing
to receive the votes of persons having a
visible admiXture of African blood. The
same body on Monday, passed an act to
provide for regular enumeration by as
SCISSORS OF all negroes and colored persons
in their respective wards and townships

Vote for Greenbacks.

The present condition of business in this
city, and, indeed, elsewhere, is the strongest
sort of evidence that we need more Green
backs than are now in circulation. A vote
in. favor of the Democratic ticket will be
regarded as an expression of our people in
favor of Mr.. PENDLEToN's Greenback prop
osition. A vote for the Republican candi-
dates will be looked upon as opposition to
it. Vote the Democratic ticket, then.

IT may interest the Brown family, OF
whom we believe one or two reside in this
neighborhood, to know that the Browns
are to meet at st. Johnsbury, Vermont,
this week, to devise means to secure prop
erty of untold value in England, which
ought to belong to them. A Boston news
paper, which evidently does not number
many Browns among its readers. says OF
this matter, that every Brown who goes to
st. Johnsbury ought at once to have his
name changed to Green.

Why Should There be Party In
This Matter?

The Republican State Convention, by its
make-believe resolution on the subject,
lends its testimony in an indirect way, that
Greenbacks are good thing. The Journal
however, has been telling its readers the
reverse. The Democratic candidates are
in favor of this proposition. A good,
strong vote in their favor would show
that both parties here are in favor of it
would make the Republicans come up
squarely in favor of it. This is the way to
bring them to time. Vote the unscratched
Democratic ticket to-day.

The journal Glasses N Man who
will not Vote the Regular Ticket

with DeserIers.
On Saturday morning, the Ohio State
journal calls the attention of the Republi-
cans to the election to-day, and urges its
Importance. In conclusion it says:
a man aUho deserts an army, or deserts has
party a1hen defeat is threatened, is no man al
all. So let each Union voter fall in and
march to the polls"
This classes all men who shall fail to vote
the regular ticket with deserters from an
army. If Republican can not vote for a
Democratic candidate without incurring
reproach equal to that deserter from
an army would incur, can Democrat re-
concile it to his sense of propriety to vote
against the regularly nominated Demo
cratic ticket?
