Hon. SENATOR AMEs, Senate Chamber:

The Meridian riot seems, from informa
ton by most reliable persons. to have been
the result of combined effort of the whites
to overthrow the city and county govern
ment. Result is eight or more colored per-
sons killed. Bramlette, white man. killed
by accidental shot. Ser ators Gleed and
Henderson. members, arrived byNtrain from
Meridian this D. m, report colored men ly
ing out hidden in the woods, whites patrol
ling the streets, trains and surrounding
country armed. Large Republican caucus
earnestly urge on Congress the necessity of
prompt and thorough measures to suppress
outrage and violence in all parts of the
State.

This is the testimony which Gov. AL
corn gave on his "honor as a man,
three months ago. Nor could he now
plead want of informationi IN reference to
the matters whereof he spoke. BY means
of. the Secret Service money, he had his
well-paid spies and detectives at work in
various parts of the State busily plying
their infamous vocation.
1t will be remembered that these docu-
ments were published when Gov. Alcorn
was pursued by the carpet-bag spoilsmen
with view to his destruction, and when
he relied for support upon the Conserva-
tive phalanx in the Legislature. With
the assistance of these true-hearted Mis-
sissippians who trusted to his remaining
steadfast in the exercise of his official po-
sition for the vindication of the people of
the State from the assaults Of their ma

He has dismissed from the editorship
of his personal organ, TIE LEADER, Col.
Manlove, because he denounced the said
prosecution as Fan outrage" which he
declared he could never sanction and
would not fail to denounce,
His said organ has committed itself I'm.
equivocally to the support of the Grant
Administration which is the author and
responsible agent of these crimes against
the Liberties of the people, and especially
does it justify the law itself and the ty-
ranny of its execution.
1t is for the people to decide at the
coming election whether they are willing
to continue in power these conspirators
against their lives and Liberties. Wheth-
er they will elect Legislature whose
chief business will be to invoke the
sword of federal vengeance on their
heads and load them with letters; or a
Legislature which will alleviate their
burdens and turn away the wrath of their
oppressors.

disclatmed any knowledge Of Col. Reynolds

A Few CONVINCING FACTs.-That lightning
rods are a sure protection against the ravages
Of that subtle fluid is much an accepted and
indisputabe fact as that the Munson Copper
Tubular Lightning Rod is the very best that
is known to the people of this country. No
better evidence of these truisms could be given
or need be given than that so many people are
having them erected on their dwellings and
barns and that Messrs. Joues & King, agents
for the Munson Rod, are kept constantly en-
ployed in putting up these unsurpassablo safe
guards against lightning. They have already
rodded some two hundred buildings this season
and their summers work is scarcely more than
half accomplished. These are facts that need
no comment, for they certainly forcible
enough to convince all property holders of the
great Importance of having lightning rods on
their buildings, and, above all, the paramount
Importance of getting only the best, which is
unquestionably the celebrated Munson rod.
Hence we say let Messrs. Jones King be the
men of pour choice. Their work is perfect.

SUPPOSED INFANTIcIDE.-The authorities OF
Carrolltown borough are just now, or were the
early part of the week. engaged in the effort to
discover the Whereabouts of the illegitimate
child of widow woman of bad repute in that
place, and of which it is known that she was
delivered some two months ago. On Monday
they cleaned out the well on her premises, and
since then other localities have been searched
but thus far, we believe, the missing infant has
not been found. 1t may be that the child has
been disposed of in some other way, but the
general impression seems to be that the little
unfortunate has met with a violent death. The
arrest of the woman Oh suspicion is talked of.
Further investigation may throw more light On
the subject.

BURNED TO DEATH.-A four year old son of
Mr.. Michdsi Toohey, Of Conemaugh borough,
was burned to death on " ednesday morning
last, during the absence of his parents. who
were attending the forty hours devotion then
in progress at the Catholic church. The child
haG been left in charge OF the older children Of
Mr. Ioohey, but child like they soon forgot
their trust, and leaving the little fellow in the
hou.e by himself, went in pursuit of amuse-
ment elsewhere. During their absence the
helpless child possessed himself of some match
es. and, as might be expected, set fire to his
clothes, and the terrible result stated above
was the consequence, n 0 person was near at
the time to suUdue the flames, and if we are
rightly informed, nothing was known of the
shocking affair until the Innocent little victim
had beeh literally roasted alive. What a ter
rible lesson does this sad and lameutable ca
tastrophe convey to the parents of young and
helpless children, and how unremitting in tlI cir
watchiulness should all be who have little ones
under their care or control This is indeed a
sad warning, but it is to be hoped that it will
not be without some good results.
