Last Saturday the 18th lust. the Republicans
had meeting at Monticello Court House, Jas
per county, which was addressed by George
Wallace (colored), late State Senator from the
Twentieth Senat rial district; Thsmas NJ Allen
(colored), late State Representative from Jasper
county, and others. Tnat night wallace stopped
with Allen in the county. at his residence, aud
during the night a number OF the ku-hluX
Klap called them, and said that they were out
hunting opossums, that their torcal'gnt had
gone out. al d asked Allen to give them another.
Aliens brothorin-aw, coored nan, got up
promptly 10 give them light, attempting to
pass it out at window; but, at the mo.
ment when the window was opened, he was
pierced by two balls, which killed him instantly.
The murderers, as the Associated Press says,
ESCAPED without being recognized" Their
object evidently was to kill Allen, his ofense
being his political prominence with his own
people. They could have had no other cause,
as he is a man OF excellent moral character
and minister of the Gospel. But the man
whom they killed was not even politician
in any sense of the word but quiet, in
offensive person VITO did not meddle with
pohucs.
Charles Turner, of Henry county, Georgia, was
killed by unknown persons, and they too
Escaped without being recognized" Turner
was mul dered without the least provocation in
the world. The citizeus of Henry county after
wards held a public meetlng IN which they
passed resolutions pretending to denounce the
Outrage. but the resolutions are not worth the
paper they are written or printed on, SO long as
the al principles OF the Democratic party
in the South are the dirk, gun, and pistol.

In accordance with q resolu ion of the General
Assembly, passed July 80, 1863, Committee
was appointed to investigate 1.-The conduct of

recently made their report, which reveals
state of affairs unparalleled in any civilized
country, and disgraceful 10 the age IN winch we

tiOn that nave been lately Inflicted on both
white and coloIed men. These stat ements are
in many instances supported by athdavit-in
others they are confirmed by the officers in the
Free0men's Bureau-but IN many instances the
reign OF terrorism is absolute, and the very per-
sons injured, as well as the witnesses OF the
outIagee. were convinced that were they to
testify in that regard, their lives would surely
be taken.
The report contains list of 2o4 persons
killed within the past lew mcnlhs, aud OF oil

In Jefferson parish several cases of outrage
ard murder have been reported, but not spe-
cially definite as to character or number In
Carroll parish numerous murders of whites
and blacks are reported In Madison parish Rob
ert Curtis is killing black men, burning
houses and numbering Republicans. TIE
bodies of murdered negroes have been found in
various places in Bossler parish. Six addi-
tional outrages are reported at Natchitoches,
but the properly AUTHENTICATED details have not
vet come 10 hand. To Ca1do parish several
Colored men have been murdered aud hung at
Greenwood and other parts OF the parish. In
Morehouse the murder of negroes IS of daily
occurrence. The Hon. w. Jasper Blackburn,
M. c., a most honorable and Independent gen.
tleman, whose principles have always been
cons dered too conservative by the radical
party, ha his premises attacked in his absence
from home, and his press at Homer, Claiborne
parish, where he published the Homer Lidd,
utterly destroyed, and his type distributed in
tue roads.

Private Letter from n Citizen of Ar.
kansas.
The outcroppiug of the devilish spirit eugeu-
dered throughout the South by the bloody aud
revolutionary doctrines proclaimed in the De-
mociatc platform, is seen by you and felt by
us in the cold-blooded assassination OF DR.. J. NJ
JobnsoD, OF Mississippi county, the attempted
assassination of Senators Wheeler aud Barker
and the atroclous murder of thousands
OF good men, white and black, whose
only crime was too fearless devotion
to the principles of constitutional
liberty. The Rebel press throughout
the South, echoed by their Rebel allies at the
North, deny the fact OF so many hellish out
RACES being committed here. and charge that it
10 a mere system of radical lying 10 influence
your northern elections. The half has not been
told. Hnndreds-and had almost said thou
saDds-ot poor, unoHending blacks have been
tied to trees, whipped unme Icifully, and mur-
dered. The masses are threatened with robbery
OF the hard-earDed fruits OF their industry, and
col EeQuent starvation OF themselves, their
wives, and their little ones if they vote the radl
cal ticket.
