a law preparatory to holding an election
this fall. Yesterday Gov. Alcorn informed
a committee that he would order an cleo.
ton for all Offices to be filled under tn.
constitution, whether they enacted thu
laws or not.
He also informed the committee that he
would not occupy his Senatorial chair,
until, the election would be held in Novem
Der. By this bold stand the Governor has
shown his intention to work in the inter
est of the people, and not risk the State
| Cover nment in uncertain hands. This
course has made many staunch supporters,
of what a few weeks ago were his political
enemies.

The citizens assembled in large numbers
armed to assist the officers. The sheriff
ordered them to disarm the negroes. In
doing this several were killed. The total
killed, so far as positively known, was six
negroes and Judge Bramlette (white.)

who took Inc to a pcnsionne, or, as
we call it, a clearinghouse. When
we got there, a servant girl came to
the door, and the banker took oft
his hat, and bowed to the servant

as if she vas a lady. Now the
reason why the lower classes there

How OILS "EXPLODE."-The ex-
preston often used that oil is ex-
plosive conveys the wrong idea.
The oil does not explode. An oil
may even e%xtinguish a burning
