took place on election day was as novel as
Il was gratifying.
The democratic tickets used on
Thursday were gotten up by Dalton q
Price, and were really a triumph in their
way. They are the first tickets used by
opponents of radicalism, since the war,
that were not cOunterfeited. Much credit
is due to these gentlemen, not only for
their skill in executing the order, but
for their secresy and prOmptness.

day that Dol. NJ. Msgevney, jr., W. r.
GRlbreath, A. Naccaro n Frank Tenny,
ofthis city, now in Europe, had been Con-
scripted and sent TO the front by the
French government. Mr.. GalbreRth
telegraphed to a w~ell-known Union street
firm TO send him 3 substitute, but having
been appointed 8 cOmmissary, he has
Withdrawn the order.
We learn from gentlemen from the
neighborhOod Of Cube, that there was no
ground for the rumOr mentioned by us
yesterday morning to the effect that the
Democratic candidate for Magistrate in
that district had been killed in a row, on
election day. The only disturbance that
occurred at Cuba hat day, was a sort of
fist and skull, free and easy, knock down
and drag out fight, in which no weapons
were used.
Our Special dispatch from Boliver, in
HandemRn county, tells of the brutal
nTmrlar Of nanfnn DrfCn a nnIf,apaan h.
James Graham, a noted desperate and
villain, who has fled, and is now at large,
no doubt in this city.
The cases of the gentlemen arrested
by u. S. Marshal Eaton, on Thursday,
underline Franchise law, were Yesterday
set for hearing on Monday, before u. S.
Commissioner Canning Smith. This
action on the part of Col. Eaton, gives
general satisfaction, and shows that our
suggestions as to his probable course of
conduct were not far wrong.
The Sheriff of Tunica county. Miss.
Colonel Belcher, passed through the CITY
yesterday, en- route for home, having in
custody the young man Charles Back,
accused of the murder of the Goode fam
lily, On Favorite Island, some months ago.,
A detailed account of the manner of the
discovery of the murderer, and his arrest,
was given in h APPEAL a few days ago,
The culprit does not deny his completely
in the horrid crime of which b. stands
accused, but claims hat he was not the
actual perpetrstor of the deed. We hope
he may swing for it, and if there is any
law in the land he most assuredly will do
SO.
The Humboldt Headlight has gone
out, and in its place we have received a
neat and handsome paper entitled the
Humboldt WeeSIV Iader. The stock.

has been transferred to the new paper,
which is edited and owned by Messrs. T.
II. Baker (lste of the Columbus, Miss,
IRder) and J. L.. Ferguson. The Under Is
thoroughly Democratic, and if we NAV
judge from the number now before us,
will be edited and managed with signal
ability. The salutatory is able, modest
and digni6ed, and rings of the true metal,
as will be seen from the following ex-
tract: /" II may not be amiss to say to the
old patrons of the paper that, under the
present management, its politics will not
be materially changed. AS q Douglas
We shared, in common with our
old Wing friends, a certain amount of
prejudice against what is known as the
old secession Democracy; but when we
saw that proud old party buckle on her
armor and take her place in the serried
ranks of war, shoulder to shoulder with
old Wings; sacrifice everything save
honor for principles that they deemed
correct, and since the war, work with I'M
firing zeal for a restoration of the Gov
eminent to the principles of its founders,
we freely forgot n forgave all past diff
.ferences, and stand ready, to-day and for
ever, to rally with them in any contest
that looks to b utter political annihila-
ton Of the Radical party as a party-the 1
.upheaving, root and branch, of the fungus
ideas that have been grated into our body
We have no compromise to make
with Radicslism in any way, shape or
who is affected by the foul smell of
mOngrelism-nO political chameleon that
takes hue from every surrounding voter"
