The New YORK DEMOCRACY
Commenting upon the action of
the recent Democratic Convention
in New York, where Governor
Hoffman, and other State officers
we're re.nominated by acclamation,
the New York Herald utters the
following emphatic and compli,
mentary endorsement of the dis
tinguished Chief Magistrate Of the
Empire State. 1t says:
As far as the nominations go
everybody was prepared for them,
and probably the public generally,
outside Of the limits Of mere fac.
ton, are satisfied that Governor
Hoffman is to continue in all Office
which he has adorned, to the duties
Of which he has brought some
qualities which we have been accus,
toned to consider rare in a poll.
tician-inilexible integrity and an
honesty of purpose that recOg.
nizes neither political friend MOI
foe in the discharge of his official
duties. With this standard bearer
the Democracy can safely go be.
fore the State and claim a major.
ity of fifty or sixty thousand.
The Rochester Convention has
done its duty, with the result
which everybody expected. The
nominations were q foregOne con.
clusion. There can be very little
doubt that the votes of the State
will ratify the choice Of Governor
Hoffman and the whole ticket or
the 9Th Of next November.

A RlOodY Tradsgy-A Husband
Kills the DeeeiVeF 81 hAs Vile.
On Saturday, the 10th ult., Mr.. r. j..
Jennings, a well known and respec.
table citizen Of this county, killed q
man by the name Of Frank Will
liams, on the Sardis and Pecan Lake
road IN this county a few miles from
the lake. Williams was q foreigner
and worked from place TO place as a
hired laborer. Jennings went from
horne for the purpose Of procuring
arms, having none Mt home, and
was returning, when he met Will
liams in the road about one mile
from Jennings house. Williams
was in u buggy, which negro had
lei him drive to Como, Jennings
stopped him and after some alterca-
ton, shot him four times and then
STABBED him with a knife.
The cause of the difficulty we
learn, was about as follows: The
wife of Jennings is at times de-
ranged aud mnCios, the return Of a
former deceased husband, RObt. g.
Bass. jennings had hired vii.
liams as a laborer, and while at his
house, Mrs. Jennings took up an
idea that Williams was her former
husband, Bass. Williams took ad.
vantage ofthis deluslon, aud erea-
ted a criminal intimacy between
them, Jennings discovering this
intimacy, ordered Williams to leave
his place, Williams at length went,
but told cOlored man on the place
that he would 90, as he was sick
then, but that he would soon re-
turn and put Jennings out Of the
way, and take possession, that Mrs.
Jennings loved him better than
she did Jennings. These facts
were afterwards communicated 10
| Jennings. This was on Friday be.
fore the killing.
A fine gold watch, gold ring and
q picture Of Mrs. Jennings, all be.
: longing to Mrs. Jennings, were
, found on the corps Of Williams by
the jury Of inquest. One of the
balls, strange to say from the pistol
. Of Jennings, had passed through
, the center Of the picture. Jenningl
: Immediately reported what he had
/. done, to the nearest magistrate
who investigated the case and col

Jennings has the sympathy Of th'
community and all are satisfied

advantage ola woman so sOrely Of

KU KLUx

~ AMNAA 49,
If there is a bitter, uneomprO-
missing Radical paper in the State,
it is the Equal Rights, published
at Pontotoc, by Col. R. W. Flour
noy. 1t is a fact, noticed by every
reader of events, that the traitor
Is always more positive and unre.
in his luminosity than
the natural enemy. Col. Flour
noy is of that class; he is a
man who was once highly honored
and respected in the State, but for
the hope Of political preterment
and with an itching desire to han
die the spoils Of office he deserted
his State in her hour OF peril and
consortcd with her enemies, be-
coming one of her bitterest and
most unrclenting Of toes. Not
withstanding this, however, heis
ready, semi. occasionally to admit
undeniablc facts. An evidence Of
this fact We have before us. In
the issue Of the 2Slh ult., We find
an article headed, "lIurra for Lee
County A careful reading of
this article deyelOpes that the
cause for this expression Of graft
lcation and admiration is that the
officials Of that county have cap
tured "a dozen or more Ku Klux
and safely lodged them in Tupelo
Jail" But strange to say when
the masks were removed IRON the
faces Of these dread creatures tCO
Of them Were discovered 10 be ne
groeS. Can they have negro Dem.
ocrats in Lee county 7 for of course
none but Democrats are Ku Klux,
Col, Flournoy, in contemplating
this strange and unaccountablC
occurrence, is forced to say, This
proves what we before stated, that
politics has nothing to do with il
(Ku Kluxism at present. The
violators oflaw are low down, vag
abonds, white and black, banded
together to rob and murder"
"Politics has nothing to dc
with it at present." Ell! Colonel
Then, we are to presume, yoU
think politics will have something
to do with it before a great while
Well, as you of the Radical party
are ever ready to grasp and use any
kind of machinery and combina
ton which will secure politica
effects, we naturally think it viii
not be a great while before yoI
will have yoked in the Ku Klu2
and have it docilely drawing th,
Radical car. We are more inclined
TO think this from the fact that yol
say that these "violators of lay
are low down vagabonds, whit
and black, banded together to 70
and murder" That, you know i
a better description Of your part
than could be given by Charlie
Dickens, were he alive. Besides
you know you have already il

izations to the Ku Klux. BY a

Prcntiss fell, shot through the

dead, shot through the heart,
Prenliss possessed the great quail

he fired quicker than Gholson-
