MEMPHIS, Aug. 1S.-Luke Paddon. who
killed Barr this morning. was committed to
Jail without DaIl. The Coroner's Jury gave
a verdict of wilful murder. There was
strong talk of lynching Padden.

living near Wittsburg. Ark, was found near
home last Tuesday, with her throat cut from
ear 10 ear, ana marks of having been out
ragged and then murdered.
From the Knoxvill Press and Herald, l6.
About two weeks since a negro committed
an outrage on a married woman. who was
in delicate health at the time. The assault
occurred in Greene county, a few miles
above Bulls Gap. The poor woman was so
terribly abused that abortion resulted. and
on Monday news was received that she had
died. The negro was arrested and lodged in
jail at Greenyille, where he is now awaiting
trial.
On Friday last, negro about nineteen
gears old. known as Tom" assailed a young
white lady, about eighteen years of age, in
the road, about one mile from Bulls Gap, in
Hamblen county the poor girl fought the
fiend as best she could with stones, and thus
managed to keep him of, while she ran,
screaming, towards her home. Fortunately
the girls mother heard her screams and
went TO her relief, arriving just in time TO
prevent the negro from effectng his purpose.
The fiend was afterwards arrested, and is
now in Jail at MorrIstown, Hamblen county,
where he awaits the punishment his crime
demands.

The Old Regime and the New.

Our people are so bedeviled
by the burden of Radical taxation in their
local government, that they have had but
little inclination to look outside of it.
Below we have given the cost of the ten
years administration ending with 1870.
1t will be seen that in 1860 and 81 before
the accession of the Radicals to power
the administration of the Federal govern
ment reached only one hundred and
thirty millions in the aggregate of two
years but the Mongrels as soon as they
commenced their hellish havoc ran the
expenses up to nearly thirteen hundred
millions for a single year. And it is es-
pecially noticeable that in the last three
years of peace, the taxpayers have had
to pay from two hundred and sixty-two
to three hundred and fifty-seven millions
per year:

Gov. Alcorn in his fernando speech
said that ''the Republican party invites
''the man of the South to come Ito its
''felds) with his brave deeds on the side
''of the rebellion. 1t invites him to
come on condition of forswearing his
principles his cause-and
defaming his own record. Even then his
offering is grudgingly accepted as a suf-
fcient atonement. There is a case in
point in the person of Confederate SOL
der, who by concessions of this kind has
secured clerkship in one of the depart
ments at Washington. Thereupon he is
assailed mercilessly as follows in the
mouth piece of the Administration:
The time for some united action has come
and it behooves all of us who fought in the
Union army to organize for our own pro-
lection, since the government we fought to
save has taken decided action against u.s.
To-day in the post office department of the
United States has been appointed Edward
r. ROx bury, rebel soldier, who served dur
ing the war against us, to the exclusion of
a number of good Union soldiers, who pass
ed just as good examination as the rebel did.
Thus are we insulted, and thus are rebels
rewarded. 1t is time that we should take
some measures to protect ourselves. Let US
join hands as we did in 81, and teach these
men, that although the government spared
their lives when they ought to have hanged
them, that they will not be fed on govern
ment pap when SO many OF our boys are
suffering. Let us hear from you, comrades,
on this point.

JUDGE RoBT. j. ALCoRN:
Dear Sir-Your favor of Doth July found

categorically.

Enlistment of new organ, which were
Substantially confirmed by Governor Alcorn
himself. As to the purport of that CONVEX
satiOn, refer you to Judge Morris.
l was not a party in the correspondence
eyentuating in my return to Mississippi, but
came in reference to a telegram based on
said correspondence. You will, in addition,
doubtless remember varions conversations
between you and myself in which the APP
pointment of Fisher as your associate was
freely discussed, and the distinct allegation
made by you concerning the intention of
the Governor that you and l should control
him (Fisher.) 1t has never been my habit
to publish or make public private cores
pondence to which / am a party directly or
indirectly, and in this matter l have made
no comment save those which the double
dealing OF the Governor (for l can call 1t
by no other name) rendered imperatively
necessary. l am no Radical, and at no time
was it my intention to participate in the
editorial conduct of a Radical journal.
Hence when Capt. Fisher altered the
Prospectus l had prepared, l checkmated

preierring to loose my head rather than
endorse the outrages perpetrated upon the
people of Mississippi by the Radical wing

EXPENDITURES.


The Carpef-Baggers' Ultimaturn.
The Pilot, carpet-baggers' organ, as
serts as its ultimatum in the matter Of
the approaching Mongrel State Conven-
ton, that it must not endorse the ''Emi-
nent Man." saying
1t will be madness to attempt to pass any
such resolution, and we hope the good sense
of the Republican members of the Conven-
ton will prevent any such apple of discord
from ever entering the door of the Conven-
ton. Men who feel deeply aggrieyed at
Governor Alcorn's attempt to sell out the
party. will never consent that a State Con-
vention of Republicans shall endorse him.
On the contrary, the Leader, cross
between carpet-bagger and scalawag, with
the element largely preponderating-
said that the Convention must and shall
endorse his Eminency. In its impress
sion of 23d, although it hurls dictionary
of epithets at the head of the Pilot for
assuming the reverse, and argues that
the Convention ought to endorse him, it
nevertheless betrays decided weakness,
and says that ''his personal friends will
not insist upon it. Thus exhibiting
want of confidence In his standing in the
very party which, according to the Pilot,
he says is composed of myself, a few
carpet-baggers and the nigger."

NEWTON, August II, 1871.
Editors CEarioH:-My attention has been
called to the malicious attack on our county
by the Pilot. IL is astounding that the edit
or of the Pilot has become SO dead to every
sense OF justice. as TO make and utter, from
day to day, the foul insinuations that our
county il full of "desperadocs," "masked
assassins," "Ku Kux,'-those horrible OBJ
jects so frightening 70 the Radical tyrants.
whose "consciences have made towards of
them all -
/ know whereof speak, as 1 have been
reared in the county. and have been in IL
every year since the close Of the war; and
/ ~ ill assert that tine United States Grand
Jury may call before its searching foreman
five hundred men OF each color, and not one
of them will testify TO the fact that there
has been an outrage OF political nature
perpetrated in the county since the war.
True, in 1868 there was disturbance, but
politics had nothing to do with it. For
three years this county has presented ian
unbroken evidence of civil order and obedi-
ence." The late attempts TO saddle upon as
the crime of being "ku klux" has proved q
miserable failure; for indeed it could prove
! nothing, as there was nothing whatever on
which to base such proceedings. T. NJ
Seaman, the latest victim has been raised In
the county. and previous 10 his arrest and
| incarceration. was living among those white
and black. who had known him from the
cradle. Could the testimony Of one thou.
sand men in the county be taken nine hum
dred and ninety nine Of them would state
that they believed him totally incapable OF
aiding OF abetting any society that had for
it's object combined resistance TO the laws
OF the land.
BUTTON Seaman an outlaw! The thought
Is not only most outrageous TO his fellow
citizens here where he Is known but IL IL
sublimely ridiculous! The Pilot says he II
one of those 'terrible characters that have
contributed so much to keep up confusion
/ in the South For sooth!
Our community Is justly indignant at the
course pursued toward Mr.. Seaman; for
with the lights now before US, we can view

/ persecution and partizan scheming.
II Mr.. Scanlan had violated the laws OF
the land, not one here will be found To

From the Paducah Kentucl


We have the particulars of a murder
which, for brutality and horror, is unparai-
leled in the annals of crime. Near Fulton
Station, on the Paducah and Gulf railroad.
and at the dividing line between Tennessee
and kentucky, there resides a gentleman
named Esquire Thomas Bennett. One MEM

aged ten years. Saturday morning she was
missing. and search was instituted by the
family. They were assisted by a negro
man who formerly belonged to Mr.. Bennett
and who has been working for him since
the war. Several circumstances transpired
which caused them TO suspicion the negro
and he was arrested. He made his escape
but was shot and recaptured. Becoming
frightened, he confessed all. He had at
tempted TO commit rape on the poor little
child, but finding that she was too small,
choked her to death, and taking knife -
but the details are too sickening to write
and too horrible to be read. His purpose
accomplished, the inhuman fiend threw the
dead body into pond and returned to the
house. When our informant passed Fulton
Station yesterday, the negro, so deserving
of death, was still in the custody of the
citizen.
We are no advocates oflynch law. but we
will have no tears TO shed to-day when we
learn that the outraged people of the neigh
borhoOd have taken the law into their
hands, and sent the soul of the black fend
down to consort with the devils of hell.

The $4,000 Militia Squander---
Worse and Worse.

We represented that Maj. Gen. Stat
ford of the Mississippi Militia had stated
that $16, 900 had been expended in
organizing" the militia and thatit was an
expenditure of the public money which
he himself (good Radical authority had
demonstrated was wholly useless to the
public that there had been no return
for it. Brought to task by the Leader,
Gen. Stafford quotes from his published
letter an extract that the enrolment
alone was ordered at a cost of SIC, 900
which would have of course been part
of the organization if it had been accom-
plished AS much was not done, there
fore, as we inferred.
But this is not material. The matter
that concerns the taxpayers is that the
SIC, 900 were expended without an equiv
alent of public benefit.
The following is. the extract above
referred to as reproduced by Gen. Stat
ford himself:
