Some time ago, in Monroe county.
Miss. negro was hired, as he confess
ed, to kill white man. He did the
deed, was tried and acquitted by negro
jury. Later, negro jury in the ssame
county acquitted Gewen and Moore, who
killed young man named Hill. The
community pronounced the murderers
in this case as assassins. The jury that
released them consisted Of ten negroes
and two whites. The expression pre-
walls in this region that no murderer
can be punished by the courts constitut-
ed. Three or four days ago, fcrryman
was assassinated at Carmargo by anc-
gro. The negro was arrested. taken be-
fore loyal magistrate, who released
him ifhe would give bond. In this the
negro failed lie was put in charge of
two white men named Lagrove to be
committed to prison. From their charge
he was taken by persons unknown, and
"lost"
The country is much excited by these
facts. United States troops have appear
ed and arrested the Lagroves, who have
been brought to Corinth for trial. While
there can be no apology for hanging
men by mo5s, disguised ornot, such is
the facility with which juries in this
country are now bribed that crime must
so unWhipped of justice.

South CarOlina---Akcrman.

The following from Washington shows
the Attorney Generals views of the sit
uation in South Carolina:
Attornoy-General Akcrman having
just returned from the martial-law dis
trict in South Carolina, detailed his OBJ
servations, and expressed his opinion
with regard to the existence Of the Ku-
kluX in that State. lie says that he has
ascertained that it does exist under such
names as the Invisible Empire of the
South, White Brotherhood, ETC, and
that a majority of the entire white men
of that section were in its membership
or under its control that its objects, EN-
bodied in its oath, were the defense OF
the Constitution as it was, resistance to
Radical invasion, and the protection OF
widows and orphans; and the penalty
of treachery provided by said oath is
death. He further claims that ten MUIR
ders have been committed, twenty COL
ored school houses burned and five hun
drcd minor outrages committed in York
county by the KukluX in the last year,
and that between one hundred and two
hundred men have recently fled the
country to escape punishment. The
Attorney-General thinks that most OF
these outragcs were committed last
March, and there have not been many
very recently. Many that belonged to
the organizations have surrendered
themselves and confessed on the ground,
he supposee. of receiving amnesty
When he left Yorkville, ninety men had
been arrested on a summary process and
confined in the York Jail without a hear
ing and without bail.

The Public Debt.

The Washington Patriot says: "Mr.
Boutwell,, in his speech at Cincinnati,
stated that the public debt on the lst OF
March, 1866, was S2,530, 7G3. $3.50, and
on the lst ofJuly last he published it in
his monthly debt statement as $2,4Gi,-
500, ,4O5.5l. BY deducting the amount of
the debt July |, 1871, from what it was
March l, 1866, it will be seen that, ac-
cording to the Secretary of the Trca-
sury, it has been reduced in five years
and four months precisely S65,95S, ,4S4. 80.
This being an average Of thirteen mil
lions q year, we will, therefore, be able
to pay off the entire debt in just one
h"ndred and eighty-niae gears and Sic
months, provided the present rate OF
taxation is kept up. Last years receipts
were 1881 ,39S, ,4Sl .52-one-third of the
entire debt. This is why the Republi-
cans are complmenting Mr.. Boutwell,
for his rapid eXtinguishment Of the pub
lie debt"

GOrged With Plunder.
(From Frank Blair's Montgomery Speech


/ know it is very common thing,
nowadays, for the Radicals, whenever
they are in q tight place, when this
accusation of using public money is
brought home TO them, to point to Tam
many in New York. just here, my fell
low-citizens. / have word to say the
corruptions in New York grew out of
legislation by Radical Legislature, ex-F
actly similar to the Congressional Leg
islation for the South. 1t was the deni-
al by the Radical Legislature of New
ork to allow the city of New York to
govern its own affairs. the deprivation
of local self government; the construc-
tion of Boards and Commissioners to be
appointed by a Republican Governor to
take charge of the affairs of the people
of the city of New York. precisely as
Congress has done in all the States of
the South ;and the result which has fol-
lowed them. Of the plunder and corrup-
tions by mixed commissions of Radicals
and Democrats, is precisely what has
occurred here in the plunder and rob-
berries of your people by Legislature
forced upon you at the point ofthe bay
onet. Why, my fellow-citizens, the first

Fraudulent Claims.

administration, says, 'the facts develop.
ed in the case of cX-Congressman Wm
B. Stokes, charged with defrauding the
government III obtaining pay and boun-
ty for men who never performed mill
tary service, show how easily even the
most infamous jobs can be pushed
through Congress. SO plainly fraudu-
lent was the claim upon which Stokes
procured his funds that Washington
agents would have nothing to DO with
it; still, with q little skilful engineering
it was made to evade the scrutiny of the
military committees Of both houses OF
Congress, and the bill for its payment
passed without much opposition

The Georgia Legislature.

The Georgia Legislature met on the
1st. Hon. L. N. Trammcl was elected
President of the Senate; Mr.. Hill, OF
Atlanta, Secretary. Hon. j. NJ, Smith
was elected Speaker of the House oil
Representatives, and j. D. Waddell,
Clerk. The True Georgiaa says:
At the very lowest calculation, there
are one thousand persons seeking posi-
tions at the State House. Nine dollars
q day is a good incentive. Six dollars
would reduce the number of applicants
fifty per cent, and an offer to serve for
glory would, without doubt, send the
one thousand aspirants back to their
vines and fig trees.

The Rise in Coffee,

The recent extraordinary rise in the
price of coffee has produced much dis
cussion at the leading commercial cell
tcrs. 1t is stated that there are at present
but forty odd thousand bags Of coffee in
first hands in the United States, and
some of the large dealers are ordering
cargoes from Europe. When the tariff
was reduced on coffee, tea and sugar, a
ycarago, there was an almost Immediate
demand in the price of those articles
but the short crop of coffee has inhu.
enced the present rise in that "neces.
sity."

Beason & Blinn, lawyers, shot Henry II
