Murder Rampant.

The Canton (Mississippi) Citizen says:
Three murders have been committed in

The murderers are all negroes, and their
unfortunate victims belonged to the same
race. One of the murders was committed
on DIR. fuckers plantation, near Livings.
ton; another on Mr.. Gilmer's, near Sharon,
and the third on Mrs. William Baldwin's.
In the last case, we learn, the murderer
slipped up behind his victim with a loaded
double barrel shot gun and let him have the
contents in the pOsterior membrane of the
pericranium.
Since writing the above we have been in
formed that cOlored man recently shot at
and dangerously wounded another on the
plantation of Colonel Durfy, near Canton.
This is a sad and disgraceful record from
our county, and until murder be regarded
as the highest crime man can commit
against God and society, and all perpe-
traitors thereof, without distinction of Trace,
color or previous condition." as well as of
wealth or previous social standing, be duly
punished, we may expect a recurrence of
these horrible and revolving murders.

The Chicago Tribune saws:

The power of the Cincinnati convention
was Enthusiastically manifested at the two
old party State conventions held Yesterday
at Elmira and Rochester, New York. At
the latter the Democrats of the State, as
sembled in convention under all the usual
rules and precedents of the party, chose a
Greeley man for chairman, and adopted, so
far as their proceedings went, policy indi-
eating a decided nrepOnderance of the
Greeley element. The platform submitted
is decidedly that way, and the method of
appointing delegates to Baltimore which
the convention, after discussion, adopted,
is the method most promising of harmoni-
GUS and influential action in the same direc-
ton. This course of the New York Demo
Gratis viii bring much encouragement to
the friends Of reform, and corresponding
confusion to the Bourbon element now
dominant at Washington. 1t is precisely
the course which Mr.. COnkling and his as
sistants have been at work desperately, but
vainly, for some weeks TO prevent.
So much for the Democratic convention.
The Republicans at Elmira bowed to the
logic and force of the principles asserted at
Cincinnati, and doubtless still more to the
logic of the events which were inagaurated
at Cincinnati Accordingly we find them
trying to creep upon the Cincinnati plat
form, doubtless " It'll the intention of setting
their arms akimbO, and claiming to have
been the original squatters upon that plat
form. They resolve in favor of civil service
reform, while at the same time they are
controlled by the gavel of A. B. Cornell,
one of the most shining examples of the
spoils theory and of customhOuse dictatiOn.
In short, they resolve" a great variety of
good things in their platform. and give the
lie to them in their choice of party leaders
and of Presidential candidate.
