Interested himself in making inquiries

represented and maligned. Northern
men Of capital and industry ore heartily
velooned there, while the citizens them
selves are more interested in procuring
hountiful crops than aught else. There

ers object to settling among them-tbe
mere adventures from the North, many of
whom 20 there to escape punishment for

through the votes Of the delHded psgroes
and LY resson OF the iaet that nearly all
tho Intelligent whites Of the South are
disfrsnchise 4, are elevated to Office and
over them g. rulers and law makers. It
is against this outrage that the Southern
people have most protested, aud from
which they have plead most to be re-
leased. Vet, Notwithstanding the fact,
their wishes in this respect have in no
wise been needed, they have horne their
ills With remarkable resignation, the list
of crimes perpetratsd there being but
little If any in excess Of those OF the
North. Il is only just preceding an
election that We hear of the "Ku-Klux
and other dire organic atoms. s
In the way Of crops the South promises

cotton has been planted, which presents
at the present time a magnificent appear
anee and will afford large yield. Learn
ing wisdom by past and bitter experience,
people have likewise planted
quite largely in corn and other cereals,
that they may not be rendered dependent

Of life, Thus, all things taken
bountiful harvest and couse-
quently full pockets are promised the
people Of the South at the end Of the pre-
sent season.

Murder at Oakland, Miss

A young lawyer of tweniy-six, named
Derrick Barnes, was shot four times and
instantly killed at Oakland, on the Mis-
sssippi aud Tennessee railroad, by DR..
Lott, of that town, last Monday evening.
The two men we're good friends pre-
viously, as far as known, and DR.. Lott had
been sharing Mr.. Barnes Office for some
time. At six o'clock on Monday evening
DR.. Lott entered the Office, apparently in
good humor, and in few minutes
was heard to denounce Barnes, and de-
mand a retraction. Barnes was heard to
ask time to explain, bat it was not given.
He commenced firing on Barnes, who
was sitting in chair, and put four balls
in his victims body. Lott then mounted
bis horse, near by, and escaped before the
spectators could realize the situation.
Barnes fell forward and expired. He
was not married. During the war he
was Sergeant in the gallant Fifteenth
Mississippi Regiment. The neighbour
hood was intensely shocked by his death,
and bis father offers reverb of $500 for
the apprehension OF the murderer.

rhe indicted Aldermen.

The three Aldermen, who have been
clamoring for trial ever siace their
indictment, showed their sincerity in the
Criminal Court, yesterday, by interpreting
every possible technicality. and endeavor'
ing to have said indictments quaShed on
the ground of some slight informally.
Alderman Marshalls case was called
first. he 8 the member Of the Board
who was so anxious, at a meeting since
his indictment. to throw fat bone in
the way of a certain morning paper in
the shape Of some city printing.
His counsel moved to quash
the indictment, which showed how
anxious he WAS for q speedy trial.
Owing to a defect in the Indictment 1t
was recommitted to the Grand Jury, and
in few minutes was returned with the
names of T. E. Brown and - Langdon
inserted as the persons who bribed
said ALDERMEN. Colonel Morgan, for the
city, announced that he was ready to
proceed with the trial. Defendant moved
again, on some other ground. to quash
the indictment, which showed how ex-
tremely anxious he was for an early trial.
This motion was overruled. Whereupon
the defendant fled an affidavit asking for
a continuance until the October term,
which established beyond cavil or
doubt that he was itching for an imme.
date trial. The affidavit was adjudged
sufficient, and the cause continued until
the October term. The cases against
Alderman Vincent were then taken up,
and about the same motions made as in
the case of Marshall. They were both
continued to the October term. In the
meantime let it not be forgotten that the
defendants were over anxious for
trial--of technicslities-at the present
term of the court.

alarm and excitement prevailed, and two
or three gentlemen jumped from the

however, until slnosi the whole Of her

Mile Schneider has escaped without the
