In our article Of April 9th, dc
nounclng the correspondent of the
Jackson Pilot, writing under the
nom de ptume of Mostow," from this
county, " g called upon Judge U,
Ozanne and OTHER county officials to
substantiate our assertion as to the
condition of affairs in this county
aud that the power OF the civil au-
thorities had been fully as complete
md effective as a military force
could be in eflecting arrests and the
suppression OF acls of violence aud
we denounced the correspondent as
a viIifyer in saying that the civil
authorities had done all in their
power to suppress outrages but were
totally powerless, aud that the gilt
ter of United States bayonets were
imperatively needed in this coupty
to supply a force the civil authors
ties did not have, they being pov>
er.css, and we stated that We
believed the officials OF this county
would sustain us in this denial. The
Pilot has refused to give the name of
its correspondent and reasserts the
truth of the charge and refuses 20
retract them. g1tm
We now call upon the sheriff Of
this county to respond to this as,
sertien, and 10 the other leading
county officials. We will put the
test to them to see IL we have been
wrong in thinking they did not call
for the presence of United Stltes
soldler' in this county to arrest
Offenders.
We ask, in the people name, an
answer from the powers that be in
this county. What say you, Judge
z. Ozanne, Maj. Brady aud the
Howe brothers?
