A Murder in 1869,
The jackson Pilot says:

The jackson PttOt says:
The murder of Richard Greer, colored. by
Boss Clardy, in 1869, although the prisoner
already had one trial on the charge, had
been almost forgotten by the citizens of
jackson, until the circuit court commenced
its present session. After a hearing of all
the testimony and able speeches on the part
of the defense by Messrs. Robb and Smythe,
and for the prosecution by Messrs Lea and
Fitzgerald, the matter was given to the jury
by Judge Brown at about eight o'clock last
evening. There being no apartment to
which the jury could retire for consultation,
the audience, which was large and deeply
interested one, was dispersed. and the
twelve jurors left by themselves in the court
room. They were not long in deciding upon
a verdict OF Guilty, as charged In the in
dictment."
The prisoner now has to suffer one of two
punishments, execution by hanging, or i'm
prisOnment for life, should the Governor be
induced to commute the life penalty to con-
fnement.
The circumstances attending this murder
are briefly about as follows: Boss Clardy
lived near the fair grounds, in 1869, and
was surrounded by twenty or thirty col
Ored families. Greer, the victim, also re-
sided near by. 1t seems that Greer had
lost hog, which he accused Clardy of
shooting. This was some days before
jue IdJdl metllHS. OH the nlglt OF the
murder Clardy had been up to the city,
and was returning to his home, when he
heard Greer muttering and talking, the
latter being also en- route for his home
After Greer had got within his house, and
while his wife was assisting him to pull off
his shOes-Greer being intoxicated-Bo
Clardy shouted for him to come out, saving
that he CGreer) talked very big now, and
accusing him of not speaking so the night
before.
Greer said to his wife that he would 90
out and see what Clardy wanted. His wife
insisted that he should retire. But Greer
got away. went through the yard, where
his ak was, took it up and then put it down
again at his wife's demand and, saying he
"wanted no weapons" walked id Clardy's
direction. When near Clardy, Greer said:
''Now boss, what do you want to kill me
for ?" He had his hand extended. gesticu-
lating, but not in a menacing style, and
Greer's wife had kept crying out for him to
keep away from Clardy, as he would surely
kill him. Soon after repeating the above
words, Clardy fired upon him, hitting him in
the body and killing him in short time.

One night when Carlotta Patti was il
Brooklyn she sang with Ferranti. Just as
the buffo singer was leading her out the
door to the platform some one in the room
behind him cried out that his coat had
burst at the seam of the back. 1t was toe
late to recede, for the audience had seen
him, and the two singers advanced to the
footlights. But the knowledge of his mis-
hap took all the humOr out of Ferranti
and the duet (which was sung in Italian
was so dolefully devoid of the usual humor
that Patti noticed it before they were halt
through, and, dropping the text of the
song, she fitted the following words to it in
Italian:
"What is the matter with you tonight! |
don't understand your nervousness. No
body laughs at you
Whlreupon Ferranti, in mellifuOus bari
tone and equally mellifuous Italian, re-
sponded:

off"

correspondent of the New York Herald
has had conversation with Governor Cald,
well, of North Carolina, about the Ku-
Klux. The Governor told him that the
published accounts of the Ku-Klux out
RACES were by no means exaggerated; that
the eastern counties were pretty quiet, but
that many of the western ones were in a
dreadful condition. He received letters al
most every day from some point or other
telling him of this man whipped or that
man shot or hanged. The Democrats visited
by the same correspondent acknowledged
the outrages of the Ku-Klux, but said that
if negro got twelve lashes he exaggerated
the number to two hundred.

their pictures: "a short time ago a very

Two days afterward her brother found it on

From the New York Tribune. I

Answer the Senate's Questions, and
How the Tribune Means TO Punish
Them.
From the New York Tribune.l
The honorable Senators whose solemn
discussion as. to whether the public should
be permitted to know the details of the most
important State document we have had in
recent times was cut short by the Tribunes
publication of the document in full, have
been laboring over the problem of how the
Tribune did it. They were yesterday
promptly and cheerfully informed that no
Senator or officer of the Senate had commu-
nicated it, and at that precise point their
information stopped. They consulted and
threatened, but got nothing more. We can
impart to them secret. They rW get
nothing more. They may attempt the alb
surdity of extorting answers concerning
points involving neither any Senator nor
any officer of the Senate, but they will be
steadfastly met with point-blank refusal to
answer. They can imprison our CORE
spondents in Washington. in which case we
shall simply double their salaries during
the term OF imprisonment, and fill their
places with others at least as active.
The Senate may as we'll learn one thing
without further making itself ridiculous by
impOtent fault finding about publication
which the whole country approves. 1t is not
eminent, but to publish the news. If the
government can't keep it's own secrets, we
do not propose to undertake for it the con-
tract. There does not live in Washington
the officer, high or low, who can honestly
say the Tribune ever received from him in
confidence any document or verbal or
written statement of any sort which it be-
trayed; and no man better knows this fact
than the head of the department most af-
fected by our publication of the treaty of
Washington. But when news comes to us,
and no public interest seems imperiled, we
print it. If public officers or others can
not keep their secrets from becoming news,
we are very likely to be the first to print
what every newspaper in the United States
is clutehing to get, and every Senator and
department officer as eager to buy. The
Senate has it in its power still further to adj
vertise this propensity of Ours-that is all.
And so. gentlemen, we wish you JOY of your
task
