Brutal Murder by Negroes

Upon the night of the 2Sth ult., a
tragedy, more horrible in its details
than ever occurred in this vicinity,
was enacted at Howell Station, in
Rankin county, seven miles east of
this place. The details as we learn
them are as follows: After dark,
upon the night above named, as
negroes belonging to the Howell
Station (V. Il NJ. r. r. section
gang, were loafing around the depot
at that place, there came to the
crowd an aged colored man, who
had recently been employed on one
of the adjoining plantations, but
was then idle, and expressed him
self as looking for work. In his
conversation with the hands he re-
marked that he could cure the bite
of a snake and had antidOteS for
poison. The cry was raised by the
negroes, he is n voodOO conjuror,"
" search him" % search HIM" This
was speedily done. They found a
few harmless roots in the old mans
pocket, which confirmed their sus
picions, and they took this old man
of eighty years, tied him hard and
fast to the railroad track, and be-
gan beating him. Kill him.'
'.I<ill him. cried the Internal crowd,
and the lash came harder and tas-
ter; he screamed with agony and
making last desperate effort with
ed himself almost out of the bonds
aud into the fire of pine knots lying
by the track, but that effort WAS his
last, for the fire burnt his SHIRT and
scorched his skin and he made no
noise. See! he Is Il CO.: Juror"
they said, and again the lash came
down they continued this for some
time longer, and left him. The next
morning he was found twenty yards
from the track stone dead. Whe-
Their he was able to drag himself to
the spot or was dragged there by
his murdcrerS is not known, but the
presumption is the latter. The muir
dererS have been arrested and con
fined i'll jail at clarion.

The San Francisco Chronicle has
received through private sources a
letter written by Miss Nellie Grant
to Queen Victoria, previous to her
recent visit to Windsor Palace. Its
charming simplicity and thorough
good sense, if it be authentic, put
beyond question all doubt as to the
nature OF the visit and the feeling

The Treaty..
The Court Of Arbitration Regularly
at the Work Of Investigating the
Actual Damages by the Confcder-
ate Cruisers.

NEW YORK, July IA special
dispatch from Geneva says the mode
of the proceedings on the direct
claims has not been ascertained, but
it seems probable that the court
will consider, se,iotim, the charac
ter of the Confederate cruisers
Accordingly, as they determine that
character aGiudged, England is re-
sponsible or not for the depreda
lions Of all these ships. The char
acter of the ships being thus deter
mined, the arbitrator will next
consider the award of damages. On
this point they will confer freely
with the other side. Should the
views of these not toe widely differ
as to the amount of the indemnity,
the court may name the gross
amount between the two estimates.
If there should be no hope of recon-
Cling the conflicting estimates the
court will refer the award of dam
ages to the assessors provided for
by the treaty, and so conclude their
labors. Now that the arbitration
goes on at Geneva, it will likewise
continue on the San Juan question.
At Berlin, Prince Bismark will
appoint a distinguished inteTnation
al lawyer to decide the question.

having Won the place at the start.
The first quarter of q mile was run in
2Gi seconds. Coming up the home
stretch, Longtellow's jockey was
pulling the horse with al his might,
while Harry BasSe:t seemed to be
running ID free rein. They passed
the stand with their heads parallel,
making he haif-nlile in oh seconds.
The inside position gave Il half
length advantage to BaSsett, but
when they were at the quarter pole
there was no apparent difference
between them. Tie time to this

Leaving there, the race was kept
up, and they ratified around the
lower turn head and head, Lon@tel-
low being being pulled hard all the
time by Harper's darkey. They
reached the three-Quarter so evenly
together it was impossible to distin-
guish the slightest difference be-
tween them. The mile and quar-
ter had been run in 2:1O4; and as
the horses dashed up the home
stretch the race seemed to be con-
siderably accelerated. When near

was length in front of Bassett, and

as was never heard before in Mon
mouth county. The time of the
mile and a half, 2:37a.
Leaving here, Rowe, the jockey of
Bassett, discovering that the rOguish
blood of all Boston and his descend
ants was beginning to show itself,
applied the whip to force the horse
along, when the william sulked badly
and fell behind. The race was ROW
practically over. LOngtellow open

Kentucky's champion had nothing
afterward to do but gallop leisurely
home, which he did to the great de
light of all his hackers, and particu,
larly to the Kentuckians who had
followed LOngtellOw here and had
bet their bottom dollar on his win
ming the race. The two miles and
quarter was made in 4:O6!, and
Longfellow cantered home nearly
two hundred yards ahead of Bass

Pistols VS.. Bayonets.

The whangdoodles that call them
selves Radicals, are forever talking
through their newspaper press
about the necessity of bayonets,
with soldiers behind them, to pre-
serve the purity of the ballot box
and fairness of elections. One of
the chief reasons assigned by these
virtuous and truthful sheets for the
maintenance and continuance Of a
a course of conduct, threatening to
liberty and insulting to high-mind-
ed men of all classes, is, that the
people of the South arc Overawing
them and their friends by wearing
and use of pistols. A more fragrant
untruth has never been uttered, as
witness every office holder under
the Federal and State government,
the majority of whom carry pistols
and openly draw them on the slight
est provocation. AT Baton Rouge,
in Louisiana, when the Convention
of the God and Morality party met,
some few of them went into the
penitentiary, and IN accordance with
the rule then prevalent, gave up
their weapons, and such an extern
Give assortment of arms was not to
be seen outside of the arsenal.
Again, it is a notorious fact, that
one burly mulatto was to be seen
with a revolver handle sticking out
at each breeches pocket. Now, we
do not say that all Radicals do
these things, we have some in our
minds-eye, who in department will
compare favorably with any other
class of our citizens, but We do say
that the Radicals are, as a party,
just as much addicted to wearing
pistols as any other class of men !;
they are in the majority in this
State, they affect to be able to fight
alongside of any other class of men,
why then all this advocacy of the
presence of soldiers. The boys in
blue do not, we earnestly believe,
desire to be used in this manner, to
crush out freedom in the land, and
the time is coming, even in the much
abused and long suffering South,
when carpet-baggers, who advocate
this policy, will be driven out OF
State. Driven out. not by violence,
not by abuse, but by being left sew
erely alone, by being fairly beaten
for Office by some decent colored OF
white man, and being then left with
no alternative but to 90 to work o,
leave the country for the country's
good, which last they Will take
since they will not work. Theil
clothes are the finest, and their airs
the grandest of all our people, ant
they will not descend from this loft,
pinnacle of self assurance and worl
like other citizens.
