FROM OXFORD.
THE DISTURBANCE IN THE
FEDERAL COURT ROOM
A CORRECT VERSION OF THE
AFFAIR.
RADICAL ISLANDERS NAILED
AGAIN.


Special Telegram 10 The Clarion.
OXFORD. Miss, June %, 1871.
The Radical account of the difficulty in
the Federal Courtroom here is grossly false.
Col. Lamar asked the Judge of the United
States District Courtto put a man. who was
a witness for the United States in the Ku
Klux cases under bonds to keep the peace.
upon the ground that he was threatening
peaceable citizens. Whilst Col. Lamar was
stating the facts 20 the court, the man arose
and advanced towards him in very threat
ening manner, with one hand under his coat
as # about to draw his pistol. Col. Lamar
asked the court to require the man to take
his seat until he finished his remarks the
man without waiting for the Interference
of the court, continued to advance, and Col.
Lamar drew a chair upon him; the man
then fell back and took his seat.
Great excitement, and cries of the District
Attorney and others for the arrest of Col.
Lamar, and for the soldiers to come into the
bar, ensued. Col. Lamar said, l have COM
mitted no disorder; i have done nothing to
justify my arrest. just then the Marshal,
with others following him, approached Col.
Lamar, and as he was about to lay his hands
upon him, Col. Lamar struck him with his
fist. The Judge was all the while endeavor-
ing to restore order, and very soon order
was restored when rything became quiet.
Col. Lamar apOlogized in very hand
some and ample manner to the court for
striking the Marshal, the Marshal having
declared that he did not approach him for
the purpose of arresting him. The Judge
accepted the apology, and the Marshal de-
clared himself satisfied.
Public opinion here and the entire bar are
in full sympathy with Col. Lamar.

From the Corinth New 5.
Observation-Disclosures.

We are glad to see such Bourbon Missis-
sippi journals as THE CLARION, and Others
accepting the situation and acknowledging
the adoption of the 18th, 18th, 18th amend
ments as accomplished facts.-Avalanche
The Avalanche does THE CLARION gross
injustice in the above paragraph. We are
well posted as to the political course of THE
CLARION. While we have, at times, since
1867, differed in part, with THE CLARION,
yet, we bear testimony to the fact that it
advocated the acceptance Ofthe situation"
by our people, and the boldly grasping of
the facts and realities of the present by the
South, at large. and the fighting of RADICAL
ism, not upon the issues settled by the war,
nor upon negro suffrage, nor upon the
amendments, but upon their usurpation of
power-their prOfiigacy-their corruption
and petty tyranny to fallen foe. The
course pursued by THE CLARION bro't upon
it's devoted head the anathemas of many
who will learn nothing by experience. and
who thought it brave, and that it bespoke
manhood to refuse to yield to the terms
of settlement as proposed by the Govern
meut ofthe United States. Time has pro-
ven, beyond doubt had it's course been fol-
lowed by the people of Mississippi, and the
South at large, long since peace and tran
guilty would have reigned throughout the
South, and instead of appointees filling the
offices In the State, men selected by the free
and untrammeIcd choice of the people would
have been administering the laws from the
highest TO the lowest office in the State.
We have differed with The CLARION, at
times, yet we cheerfully bear witness that
its wisdom, has been fully demonstrated.
The CLARION may have erred in many
things, but its political sagacity upon this
most vital question to the whole country
cannot be brought into question by such
journals as the Avalanche and Missouri
Republican.

Rich WITHOUT NEY.-Many a
man is rich without money. Thousands
Of men with nothing in their pockets are
rich. A man born with a good heart
and good limbs and pretty good head
piece, il rich. Good bones are better
than gold,- tough muscles than silver
and nerves that fash fire and carry ener-
gy to every function, are better than
houses and land. 1t is better than land
ed estate to have had the right kind of
father and mother. Good breeds and
bad breeds exist among men as really as
among herds and horses. Education
may do much to check the evil tenden-

good thing to inherit the right proportion
of faculties to start with.

The death Of Major Andrew jackson
Donelson. which occurred at the Peabody
Hotel in Memphis, Monday morning, re-
moves one ofthe links which connected the
past with the present. Major Donelson,
was the nephew of Mrs. Jackson, and was
christened. Andrew, after her distinguished
and iron-willed husband. When Gen. jack
son, went to Washington in 1923, as Presi-
dent elect of the United States. he took
young Donelson with him as his private
secretary. From that time until the death
of the hero of N. O.. Major Donelson con-
tinued TO be a member OF his family. Maj
ID. was graduate of West Point of the class
of 1822, and though not man of any great
ability, was generous and kindhearted, and
possessed many warm friends. He was at
one time editor of the Washington Union,
but his editorial career was was not particu-
iarly brilliant, nor were his editorials mark
ed by any great degree of vigor or force.
His most notable politWN venture was the
leading of a foFlorn hope, as a candidate for
the Vice. Presidency on the Know-Nothing
ticket with Milliard Fillmore in 1885,
