Senator for Kinds county. Caldwell
got on board at Bolton to go to Clin-
ton. When his fare was demanded he
refused to give it, stating that being
a member of the Legislature he was
not required to pay for travel over the
road, vet he could exhibit no pass.

should pay, at which Caldwell became
angry, and, drawing a knife, cut
Clingan across the cheek. The train
was instantly stopped, and the train
hands coming to Clingan's relief, Cald-

The Columbus Ilder says that
negro woman, crazed with religious
excitement, was going home a few
nights ago from one of the cOlored
churches, clapping her hands, knock
ing out her heels, and ducking her
head like mad. All at once thought
struck her, and giving another one Of
those peculiar sWOOps to the ground
which marks those midnight orgies,
she yelled out at the top of her voice:
''Thank God, don't have to cook any
supper tonight! Blessed Jesus! /
love him all overt" One of the
women that held her up, became dis
gusted, and remarked that ''religiOn
don't make a Niger as big a fool as
you is"
The Water Valley Eagle says that
Col. Sam. Tate, for some cause not
fully explained, declined reelection
and that Mr.. H. S. McCombs, the
principal stakeholder in tine Associa-

effect this change in the Presidency
will have in the general management
of the road, we are not advised, but
we shall very much regret to lose the
superior talent and ability, and the
great railroad experience of Col. Tate
on this road. We regard him as the
greatest railroad man of the South,
and whatever line of roads secures the
benefit of his energy, skill and great
experience, must succeed.
Highgate Morgan, the Mississippi
State Senator who married the col
| Ored girl at Jackson, was never a
Colonel, as has been alleged, in the
United States army. He was pri-
vate for short time in Company A,
| Second Wisconsin Regiment. He be-
came a recruiting lieutenant, and at
the close of the war went to Hinds
county, where blacks do most abound.
he is a dirty, stupid fellow, and in his
| tastes and instincts a fit associate OF
the stupidest negroes. These facts are
gathered from the Wisconsin Argus.
There are excellent gentlemen here,
ex- soldiers, from Wisconsin and from
Michigan. They assert that there was
no such "Colonel" from Michigan or
Wisconsin, and that Morgan Is an un-
mixed fraud in fact, as he is brutal in
all his debased instincts.
