SENATOR ALCORN.
Who will the Senator SuppOrt-General
Grant or Horace Greeley!

EDITORS APPEAL-A correspondent
in your Sundays issue states that
"thOughtful men, who evince an inter-
est in public affairs, are nov much on
cerned to be assured of the course which
the Mississippi Senator will pursue in
the pending Presidential contest 1t
occurs to me that it would be but an act
of charity and mercy to relieve the deep
'~scOnceTnr in which these "thOughtful
men, are plunged, even at the risk of
being the bearer of evil tidings. "Know
all men whom it may concern, y then,
that Senator Alcorn, in public speech
in Jackson last January, and in fire.
quent conversations since that time, has
avowed his unreserved determination to
support General Grant. Inasmuch,
however, as his declarations to this eff
feet have generally beenaccompanied 10y
the statement that Grants election, by
an overwhelming majority, was absO-
lutely certain, it may be that the deep
"cOncern" of the thoughtful men" has
grown out of the idea that when the
Senator from Mississippi discovers that
the popular breeze is blowing in another
direction, he may trim his sails accord
ingly. In this view, his future action
may be important as showing the drift
of the popular current. 1 can conceive
Of no other aspect in which it is a mat
ter of the least concern. He owes his
present position solely TO the fact that
he, alone of all Mississippi's distinguish
ed sons, lent his influence and his talent
to the party which gave us Ames and
Revels for United States Senators, and
filled our Legislature with negroes and
'~'thieving caTpet-baggers." However
much disguised he may have become
with his W allies, he will find, when
ever he attempts TO draw off from them,
that he will carry off an army composed
of himself alone. Not one of his dusky
brethren will follow. There are a few
hundred Southern-born white men in
the State who followed him into the
Radical party. Such of them as obtained
Office by doing so will stay there. Those
who failed will generally vote for
Greeley, without waiting to hear from
AlcOTn. The Radical party of Missis-
sippi is composed of negroes and led by
carpet-baggers. Every carpet-bagger
will vote for Grant and the negroes will
follow them, nor could Alcorn stop them
if he were to write Greeley letters and
make Greeley speeches from now till
the election. My impression is that the
State will vote for Grant, as will every
other State where the negro vote pre-
ponderates. Certainly, there is no man
who has less power to prevent this re-
suit than Senator AlcoTn. / do not be-
that he could carry the negroes on
his own plantation against the carpet
bag influence.

A PRETTY TOUGH STORY.
A Munchausenism from the Red River
COuntry-Beats the Spiritualists.

The following incident will prove in
teresting to the lovers of the marvellous
A day or two since, while the steamer
Waccamaw was engaged in towing the
Rebecca Clyde up to this city, a rather
remarkable incident occurred. A light
house boat, containing six men, was at
tached to the stern Of the Clyde for the
purpose of being lowed up, and when of
against Big Island, a few miles below
the city, q United States mail-boat, con-
tanning two men, came up alongside
with the intention of securing like as
sistance inreaching the city. Owing TO
the speed with which the vessel was
going, however, the line which was
thrown was not caught by those OF
the CLYDE, and the boat in conse-
duence drifted astern of the vessel, and
in between her and the Lighthouse
boat, when, by some sudden impelling
force, unaccountable to all who witness
ed the same freak, the latter boat, with
the six men on her, was jerked clear of
the water and passed entirely over the
mail boat and alighted on the other side;
and, stranger still, while the lighthouse
boat wasmakingthis flying apthrough
space, one Of the two men in the other
boat thinking she would sure
~ be sunk, made a sudden spring for
life and landed safely in the boat at
tachedto the Clyde, lesyinghis compan-
Ion to make the best of his way 10 the
city by himself. Neither Of the boats
were injured by the circumstance, and
the boat that leaped so gingerly over the
other actually shipped no water. We
get these particulars from persons who
were on the Waccamaw at the time,
and say they witnessed the remarkable
incident related.

OUTRAGE.
LaWless Negroes Playing Vigilance Com
mittee in Arkansas.

From the Shreveport Southwestern.l
We are informed by Mr.. Cook, of
Lewisville, Arkansas, of an outrageous
proceeding on the part of a band of
lawless negroes at that place. 1t seems
that the Radicals in that State are d.
vided into two factions, Of which is
called the Ministries, the other, Brindle-
tails. Some ten days ago, the Brindle-
tails, from some cause unknown, be-
came incensed against a Mr.. Kent, Dis
trict Superintendent of Public Schools,
and a Mr.. Martin, County Judge and
Justice of the Peace, members of the
Minstrels. Some two hundred negroes,
urged on, it appears, by the Brindle-
tails, presented a written instrument
to the gentlemen above-named, de-
manding an immediate resignation of
the offices to which they had been le-
gally elected. Upon their refusal to
obey the dictum of a lawless mob, they
We're given tw~enty-four hours notice to
leave the country, on penalty of death.
Knowing the character of the negroes
and their white abettors, and fearing
the prompt execution of the threat,
these gentlemen were forced to leave
their homes in order to saw their lives.
Such is the condition of things in Lew
isville, and such the protection afforded
Our people by the model government of
the world. If Mr.. Grant will rid Ar
kansas of all such sable kukIux clans
and their fendish leaders, instead of
prosecuting the innocent and unoffend-
ing South Carolinians, he will render
some service to a people whose lives and
property are at the mercy of a lawless
and ungoYerned mob.

of the southern people. Neither ro-
nance nor history could furnish any
thing comparable to that species of hid
eous degradation and dishonorable apos-
tacy which could induce a Southern man
to support such a cruel tyrant as L. 5.
for the Presidency of the United States.
Objectionable as is Horace Greeley-dis-
pissed as he has been-he is an angel
of light in comparison with Grant. 1t
may be a bitter pill to vote for Greeley;
aye, it CiU be a bitter pill; but, bitter as
it is, not half so bitter as to see the coun-
try under the control of the corrupt and
despOtic Grant and his army Of public
plunderers. 1t will be a sweet morsel
when taken for the purpose of preserv-
ing the constitution, securing peace and
amnesty, restoring the Union and
freeing the land of anarchy, cor
ruption and centralized despotism.
When the captive, yearning for liberty,
conceives the idea of escaping from his
loathsOme dungeon, he uses the best i'm
pliments which the emergency fur
nishes. So he can breathe the pure air,
and once again bask in the sunlight OF
heaven, he cares not whether the exit
from prison he made through privy
vaults or sooty ehimneys. The Southern
people are sick of strife and discOrd;
weary Of oppression and usurpa-
ton, and would prefer to enter
into the pure air Of peace, honesty
and deliverance through the open gate
way of Democracy. But this door is
closed, and they must either remain in
chains or use every accessible imple-
ment. Horace Greeley is the crOwbar.
He who refuses to use this instrument is
unworthy of freedom; has not a heart to
be chafed by the despOt's heel, oil a soul
TO be made sore by the tyrant's usurpa-

DECENTRALIZATION.
THE EIGHT-HOUR SCHEME.
It's Workings in the ArmOries Of the
GOTernment-OplniOns OF
the Bosses.

WASHINGTON, May l3.-The Secre-
tary of Wa has sent to the Senate re-
ports from the commandments of the
Springfield armOry and the Rock Island
arsenal, comparative statements show
ing the operations of the eight-hour law.
With regard to the Rock Island arsenal
the commandment says he believed ii
vas expected that under the law en-
plOyes would work more willingly, more
intelligently, and with more dispatch
than under the ten-hom system, and
that therefore more work would be done
per hour to compensate, or partially
compensate, the government for the loss
of the two hours work. This expeeta-
ton has not been realized at that arse
nal. 1t has been claimed that II the
men worked only eight hours
per day that the additional time
allowed them would generally be de-
voted to reading and study, and other
wise to benefit their social, moral and
mental conditions, thereby making
them better and more valuable work.
men and citizens. This expectation
has been partially realized in the case of
carpenters and mechanics, but has not
been realized to any considerable extent
in the case of masOns and stO~ne-eutters;
the leisure time has been generally of
an injury rather than a benefit in the
case of the laborers. Those in the latter
class have generally no houses of their
own, and their leisure time, In most
cases, is more productive of bad habits
than good. The commandment of the
Springfield armory says that careful call
cuiaton shows that an average saving
of about five hundred dollars per year for
gas for lighting purposes is eff
tected by reducing the number of
hours from ten to eight, which
saving is principally in the short days Of
the winter months. The total saving in
coal and gas is two thousand nine hum
dred dollars per year Of three hundred
working days in favor of the eight-hour
system, or about equal TO the wages of
three wOrkmen for the same time. On
account of the valuable nature and the
amount Of work done before and after

Jefferson DAVIS AND HORACE
GREELEY.

We find in the Missouri Democrat a
modest specimen of the lies, having
origin with Belmont's and Grants adj
herents, with which the country may
expect to be RECALLED during the summer
and fall by the Presidents ''snipe-bag-
gersn and "rOpers-in.n In huge capitals
the Democrat announces the fact that
"JEFF. DAVIS SUPPORTS GREELEY"
The model newspaper dispatch, dated
New York, May u, says:
JEFF. DAVIS CoNGRATULATEs GREE
LEY.
Il is reported that Greeley has received a
letter from JET. Davis congratulating him on
his nomination, and promising 10 support the
Cincinnati ticket. Davis says he does not eN-
pect the South viii have justice in his life
time, but he thinks IL will have a better pros
pect under the Cincinnati ticket than any
other, and consequently he will support II.
Nh. Davis authorizes us to say " that
the story above given by the Democrat
is wholly unfounded. He aeUer wrote
to Mr.. Greeley on any subject, never
made any promise in regard to the Gin
cinnati ticket to Greeley, or any one
else, and, as there is no other ticket
with which to compare it, could not
have made the comparison as stated
This falsehood apparently emanated
from New York, though it may have
been concocted elsewhere. In any event

GREELEY on GRANT.

1t being impossible 10 elect a Demo-
crat, all the concern that the Southern
people have in the next Presidential
election is, Grant or Greeley, which is
better for them? If they are likely to
fare better by change of Presidents, to
that exteRtthey are in~terested-no more.
The probabilities balance the scales in
favor of Greeley. What party object
can he have in any harsh execution OF
the law? It is impossible for Democrats,
any man with a Southern heart i'm his
bosom, to vote for Grant. He has been
in the Presidential chair nearly four
years. His administration has been a
disgrace to the nation. He has made the
South as unfit for the habitation Of
honest white men as are the pestilential
jungles of Africa. He has held the
bayonet at the breast of a d~efenseless
people. He has permitted his greedy
Radical vermin to devour the hard earn
ings of IN oppressed people, struggling
TO recGperate their desOlated homes.
No nation, either in ancient or modern
times, has been forced TO drink more of
the bitter dregs found in the aecursed
cup which Grant has forced to the lips

tenn, some sixteen different models of
guns have been worked ON since the
close of the war. 1t is found impossible
to give any accurate and reliable rate
regarding the cost of work by day
workmen under the two systems, ex-
eept, perhaps, it is believed that the
rates of fOremen, assistant foremen, IN
spectors, helpers, policemen, etc, and
piece-workmen were not materially af-
feeted by the reduction in the length of
the working day.

FLORENCE, ALABAMA, an ancient
town that was supposed to have been
founded and finished about the time Of
the Argonautic expedition, is just putting
on, and Memphis wants to put off, the
breeches Of incorporation. We suppose
all the old clothes of Florence are too
small to fit, even as those of Memphis
are asserted to be entirely too big.
