DiFFERENcE OF OPISIoS.-James Par
ton, the biogrnpher, has come 10 the
rescue of Mrs Stowe in the matter OF
the Byron scandal. la New York
paper recently he endeavors to vim
dictate Mrs. Stoves action, and asserts
that Byron's poetry has done much to
encourage vice in all countries. He
thinks that We should not oIbear 10
discourse upon the faults of George Ill
because Queen Victoria is his grand
daughter, nor upon the treason OF Ben
edlct Arnold because his defendants
may be very worthy people. AS 10 the
moral propriety of Mrs Stoves action,
he links much Difference 10 due 10 the
deliberate judgement ofea lady who is
as superior 10 the average OF mankind
in character ms she IS Ia genius. She
del beratelt concluded the publication
of the Byron article right and proper,
and who, says Mr., Parton, is entitled to
pronounce her wrong? He closes his

BROoKsvILLE, Miss, August >, 1869.
The meteor whose glare startled the
people Of Paducah, swept over Cor
inth. The APPEAL adVerts to the
phenomenon, and its recital of the
splendors Of the exhibition causes me
to recur to incidents of last week.
Corinth was then all agOg with tie
discussion Of q question whose ,decis-
ion illustrates the multiplied evils in
cident TO the political condition of
Mississippi. The County Court was
in session, and Judge Stevens sat
upon the bench. Lawyers were
gathered in the Courtroom, and C6un-
trymen by the score. The Court had
selected as its Attorney the District
Attorney of the United States. He
alone, OF all his gOwned brethren,
could take the Oaths of office. The
question was whether he could hold
two offices. The Constitution of Mis-
sissippi contained an express prohibi-
ton, and yet the Court must have an
Attorney. The Federal office holder
said that he would assume Obliga-
tions required, if the Court and bar
approved, and give the perquisites
and business to some disfranchised
barrister. There is no end to the in
genuity of lawyers. Messrs. Inge,
Maughs, Whitfield and others, dis
cussed the question and finally salts
fed the Court that the County Attor-
ney is not an "officer;" that he is
simDlv the retained counsel of the
Court; that he is not required TO take
oaths imposed by EeConstrHction acts,
and thus was obviated a difficulty
which has sorely perpleXed magis-
trates in many counties in Mississippi.
If this decision were anpHlled, the

Spinner a United States ten dollar
note, pronounced there a counterfeit.
The experts at the Department are
however, divided in opinion, some
contending that the note is a spurious
one, and others holding that it was
one of the last printed on the plate,
which was so much worn down that
it blurred the note in printing. If it
Is counterfeit, the engraving Is, to
say the least, very correct.
The Marion Crescent of the 2Sth
ult. says: We are highly gratified to
say that we had on Monday night a
good rain. The rain has, we learn,
been pretty general, and although it
has come too late for many fields, it
will do immense good to the crops.
The Early County (Ga.) Ne1Cs of
last week says: We heard of farmer
at seventy-tfve cents per bushel-he
said he would have several hundred
bushels to dispose of. We look for it
to be down to and plentiful at fifty
cents about gathering time.
From cur Augusta (Ga.) ex-
changes we learn that bad state of
affairs exists in Edgefield District
South Carolina, which lies next to tie
Georgia line. The militia have been
ordered out and a number of Illegal
and unwarranted arrests of citizens
have taken place, and the militia Off
GERS are represented to be carrying
things with high hand.
Old Boston and the Boston made
of late years by filling in and build

did blocks, and Mansard roofs. And

MOBILE, ALA.
Fearful Riot, which was Begun by Radical
Neuroes and their Write Leaders.

Fearful Riot. which was Begun by Radical
negroes and their White Leaders.
MOBILE, August G.-Last night a
serious riot occurred here, beginning
in an out door Radical meeting to
celebrate the triumph of the Radical
candidate for Congress in this district.
The meeting was large and composed
exclusively OF negroes except a few
white leaders. During the whole Of
Yesterday rumOTS were circulated that
the negroes were very much excited,
defiant and threatening to burn the
Democratic candidates for Congress
in effigy. Several citizens called on
the Mayor, and some Of their leaders
advised them that it would be better
TO postpone the meeting. for if the
threatening to burn the cHigy was
carried out the whites could not be
restrained from an attempt to resent
the indignity by force. 1t was thought
that these representations had
had the desired effect, and
that there would be no meeting. At
S O'Clock however the tar barrels were
lighted of, and the negroes began to
flock in until they sWelied into
crowd Of 1000 or 1900. Many came
With guns and most all with con-
cealed arms, pistols, knives and raZOrS.
Nothing occurred except the infiama-
tory talk Of the speakers until about
10 o'clock, when a fierce dispute arose
between two citizen on a subject
entirely foreign to politics or the
meeting, which attracted some atten-
ton, and in passing UP to see'N hat it
d ~ ~ fol I1a-
trOd on a negrO's foot, and Just as the
alteration about this was
settled, a pistol shot was heard,
which was the signal for
general firing, and the whole crowd
dispersed Immediately. The firing
vas continued a few minutes as the
crowd scattered, and in ten minutes a
dead quiet Teigned, broken only by
the tread Of a white patrol.
A detachment Of United States
troOus was stationed at the guardhOUse
by request Of the Mayor in anticipa-
tion Of trouble. They took no part in
the fray except TO march up town and
put a stop to the firing. 1t is not
known who fired the frat ShOt.
Ihe casualties are small considering
the number Of shots fred. Three ne
eroes were killed and five wounded.
Four policemen and three other white
men were wounded.
The Register this morning comments
on the riot as follows:
Last nights work, done after our
editorial of this morning was in print,
is a sharp and quick commentary on
the dangers we forecast. From the
present aspect Of affairs it is a burning
shame that the community should be
exposed TO outrage like this, and the
community owe it as q duty to itself
80 prevents repetition. IS to where
The blame Iies there is no room for a
Question. These deeds are the direct
outbreaks of the malignant passions
of the negroes Influenced and lashed
into fury by base partisans.
1t is a question for the public to de-
eide how long these incendiaries shall
be allowed to expose the peace Ct sc
1iety sua the safety Of the women and
children. We hope public meeting
will be held TO answer this question: y
The First Congressional District Is
uncertain, and it will require the
official count to decide it.
