EDITOR OF HERALD: found on

burg, and "the Republican Club Of
Warren county," asking parlicipa-
tion In the hOspitalities Of the city,
and in the celebration Of the l5th
amendment on the 18th inst, in
common with the members Of the
Legislature, whose visit here at
that time will be made, as l UNDER
stand, in response to an invitation
extended to them some time ago
by the citizens of Vlcksburg.-
Among those Of the committee

honor OF q visit, and in doing so
shall feel that | am simply testify
ing q due respect for one of the CO.
ordinate branches of the immedi-
ate government under which we
live. Yet, when, as conceive is
the case in this instance, such an
occasion, originally designed and
set apart for u manifestation of

zens OF ViCksburg towards the

tion with il and 10 shy that my
name appears to the invitation re-
ferred to without any authority
whatever from me. | am satisfied
that there is neither occasion for,
nor propriety in such a celebration.
For the freedmen Of Mississippi
there is nothing in the 10th
Amendment calling for such q
manifestation on their part
for 1t secures no right that was moi
fully guaranteed to them by means
wrought out long before thai

For the white citizens OF the State
there is nothing in 1t calling fol
such q manifestation on their part
because in its matter aud manner

OUR readers will remember the
account published recently in the
HERALD of an attempt at robbery
and q shooting affair at the planta-
tion of Mrs. Brooks, in this coun-
ty, on the Goth ult. The man shot,
who gave his name as Riley, was
brought to this city and placed in
custody. Yesterday evening he
died ofhis wounds, and confessed
that his name was Owen Moran.
1t also appears that he has before
been in custody in our jail for
grand larceny, and it is believed
also that he was an escaped con-
vict, having been sentenced to the
Penitentiary from Nalchez. His
sad end is the just and inevitable re-
suits of crime.

Mr.. EDITOR: You were in error

charged by Judge Leas, he (the

The facts are these: A new afR-

discharged, or he would then and
