ATTEMPT TO BREAK JAIL. - Pat
Hurley, confined in the Ormsby
County Jail, charged with highway
robbery, and awaiting the action of
the Grand Jury now in session and
having his case under investigation,
made an attempt to break Jail night
before last. After being locked in his
cell for the night, at a later hour Dep
uty Sheriff Butler, under whose more
immediate charge he is. and who
knows from observation of, and eXpe-
rience in handling, his charge, the
willy character of Pat, made a personal
inspection of Hurley's cell, and not
withstanding the lock was all right,
Pat was absent. A lively investiga-
ton of the Jail premises discovered
Hurley in the Darkroom, where he
had made considerable progress in
an effort to get into the street. An
examination of the cell showed that
Hurley had effected his escape there
from by saving off the bars of iron
and removing portion of the door SO
as to make a space for exit about a
foot square.

Those who have read the testimony,
(the main parts of which, on both sides,
were published in THE CLARIoN) will
not be astOnished to learn that the grand
jury of Copiah county failed to find a
true bill against the citizens who in self
defence and in the absence of civil officers
were compelled to repel the assault of the
mob on the village. The consequence is
that they have been released from impris.
onment, though the partisan judge had
not been able to discover in the testimony
sufficient ground for granting them bail
Notwithstanding the requirement of the
Constitution which he was sworn to sup
port, that call persons shall, before con-
eviction, be bailable by sufficient sure
''ties, except for capital offences when
''the proof is evident or the presumption
''great."
To repel the charge of the et-bag-
gers organ that the young men who were
literally dragged into this affair were "a
set of outlaws" our correspondent "H."
has informed the public through this pa
per, who they are. By this publication
twill be seen that they are models of
industrious, honorable and peaceable eiti-
zens who would scorn to do an unworthy
act So far from meriting reproach, they
really deserve be commended for the
prudence, caution and firmness with
which they have acted throughout While
all just-minded men will applaud them
for their conduct, although regretting the
necessity under which they were compell-
ed to act, there is no measure to the con-
tempt in which their prosecutors, who

On the 28th of July, one week before

The announcement will be found else
where that the next Mississippi State Fair
will begin on Monday, oath October, and
will continue through the week. The
Directors have been very industrious in
preparing for it, and in due time all the
arrangements will be completed; and the
indications are that the next Fair will
prove to be what the Directory is ambi-
tious to make it-a State success. To
accomplish this, let all contribute some
home-raised or home-manufactureda article
for exhibition. The display of machine
~ will far surpass that of last year and
our planting friends who would see what
is new, novel, or useful as labor-savers,
should not miss this opportunity.
In this connection, may we not suggest
to our Warren county friends the pro-
priety of so changing the time for their
Fair as not to conflict with the State Fair
say a week earlier, or week later
The State Fair was originally fixed for
October 10th, but learning that it would
thereby conflict with the Tennessee State
Fair, the time was changed to the 9th.
We hope the Fairs will be so held as that
one will contribute to the success of the
other.

The Mississippi Central classes THE
CLARION among the opposers of the
Union Reform party of South Carolina,
of which Gen. j. B. Kershaw is an ar
dent advocate. THE CLARION is no such
thing. If THE CLARION were in South
Carolina it would doubtless favor the
movement. That ticket is the onlg one
in the field that opposes the Republican
nominees. THE CLARION is not OF those
that cannot see the difference between
tickets or parties. 1t usually knows upon
which side can be found the prin-
cipal leaders and the masses of the Re
publican party. Its friends are on the
opposite side. Its place is in the ranks
with its friends. 1t will never create cap
tious dissentions on account of name or
banner, and viii ever be found in its
place.
We see no reason for discussing South
Carolina politics; we are willing for our
friends there to conduct the campaign
against Republicanism as they think ex-
pedient; they will have hard time at
best, with 40, 900 negro majority against
them.
That Gen. Kershaw will ever be found
whatever will be for the best
interest of his native State, and her peo-
pie, we are assured; and that he will be
an avowed supporter of the Democratic
nominee in the Presidential campaign of
1872, we feel equally certain.

The Wnr.

The latest reports from the theatre of
the Freneh-Prussian war, have prepared
the public mind for intelligence of
great battle at METz, at which point the
French, closely pressed by the Prussians.
were preparing to make n stand. As
this point is destined TO become historic
the following sketch will not be without
interest:
Metz is the most important strategic point
in this part of France, aud. when the work.

tions, ineloses city OF more than 10000 in
habitants. and Is garrisoned 10y 10000 men.
The Notifications are irregular, but were
very strong even before the war of 1866.
and since then important works have been
laid out, and carried forward to an advanced
stage, on four commanding sites. These all

the destructive force of modern projectiles.
Two permanent bridges span the Moselle az
this point, where i also the confluence Of
the Seille. The Moselle itself sends ont an
arm which incloses part of the town, and
is called the navigate Mosselle, since the
principal stream is interrupted. In ease of
a scige, the water can be sufficiently in these
streams TO inundate the low ground on the
south and southwest side of the town. max

All i'm Consequence Of Looking
into his Face"

Among the defeated Republican can
didates for Congress in North Carolina,
we observe the name of James Harris,
colored man. Pending the canvass, he
issued a circular in which he reminded
his white associates that his election was
in their hands-that their professions
would be put to the test-and that ifthey
did not reciprocate the confidence which
blacks had reposed in them and come up
manfully to his support they were hypo-
critics and selfstultifers. He said:
"My election or defeat depends upon the
action of the white Republicans in this Dis
trict. If their professions are true, and
they make no distinction in regard To color,
and support me unanimously. my election
is sure. This case will be test one. and
the cOlored people of this district will look
on with interest TO see whether or not the
professions of White Republicans are car
ried out when they are brought to test"
But after this strong appeal in which
the aspiring darkey spoke right out and
did not put fine point on anything, he
was defeated. The whites on whom he
relied did not come to time. They were
not orthodox They violated the Alcorn
standard of faith and Cooked into his
face" and the indisconsolate blackamoor
is doomed to chew the cud of disappoint
ment and to realize that "white man is
mighty onsartin," unless he is a
thoroughbred like Morgan.
But he can have his revenge. lie

hand the destines Of the depraved whites

Religious Aspects Of the War.

An able protestant journal, the n. o.
Southwestern Presbyterian, thus disabu-
ses its readers minds of the impression
that the French-Prussian war is religi-
Gus one
THE idea has possessed the minds of some,
that the war is a religious one, representing
the antagonism of Professionalism and Ro-
manism. A moments reflection is sufficient
to expose the absurdity of this idea. The
German Empire includes several strongly
ROmish States, and Bismarck's avOwed poll
icy being to unite Germany under Prussia
by conciliating the different States, il is
easily seen that neither inclination nor in
terest makes Prussia champion Of Protest
antism. On the other hand it is, If possible.
more silly to suppose that Napoleon whose
course towards the Protestants In France.
has already been liberal who opposes the
discisions of Ecumenical Council, and who

French army from Rome-it is, if possible.
more silly to represent him as the champi-
on of Romanism. Let such twaddle cease :.
