Oftentimes reports reach US of crimes,
misdemeanors and abuses of trust by per-
sons in authority, here at the Capital,
which our duty as public Journalists forbids
us to ignore and requires us to notice.
1t IS proper to say once for all, that we
always mention these matters with due
sense of our responsibility to the public,
and never without warrant for believing
them to be true. It is our rule to extern
uate nothing nor to set down aught in
malice. If in the performance of this
duty, we Internationally wrong any one,
we stand ready to give the party accused
a hearing, or TO correct any error into
which we may be misled or otherwise, to
accord satisfaction in any other form in
which it may be asked. Pursuing the
even tenor Of our way with calm delib-
Grafton and sense of our responsibilities
to the public and to alleged offenders, the
people have learned that we have rarely
published rumors that were not well au-
thenticated, and have seldom, if ever,
betrayed them into errors of opinion con-
cerning the conduct Of culprits arraigned
for trial before their august tribunal.

We have seen it stated that Mr.. j. B.
Turner, proprietor of the Kosciusko Ho-
tel, has taken down his sign, since the
passage of the Social Equality Bill,
prompted by the feeling that if he is not
permitted to decide what guests he will
receive into his own house, he will close
up his business. We venture to suggest
that it would be better to stand on his
rights as a proprietor, and to contest the
constitutionality Of the law before the
Courts A similar case was tried in the
District of Columbia, where Radicalism
holds undisputed sway, and it was de-
cided in favor of the proprietor, by the
Supreme Court of the District, which
declared that his domiciliary rights were
indefeasible and the law has become a
dead letter. In the case of our friend
Turner, and ninety-nine hundredths of
the Mississippi hotel proprietors, we
doubt if any attempt will ever be made
to pun the new law into practice; but
whenever it is done, they have only to
assert their inalienable privileges, and
the Courts will sustain them.

The Report Of the Committee else
where alluded to, after discussion in the
House, was referred, to the Railroad
Committee with instructions to bring in
a report strictly in conformity to the or
iginal Instructions, Invested of irrelevant
matter 1t is evident that the House was
not prepared to give its sanction TO the
opinion implied in the Report that the
warrants issued under the Railroad Aid
Law, are legal utilities" Conserva-
tives who opposed the law, would hesitate
after its passage and the. State had issued
its obligations in conformity to it, to go
to that extreme-although they might
hold the action of the Governor in receiv-
ing the Warrants under the circumstan-
ces, to be reprehensible proceeding
Besides it got noised about that Subsi-
dy Josh had instigated the proceedings
revenge himself on the Acting Governor
for signing the bill cutting off his $780,
900 and upwards of profits on the Supreme
Court Reporting job, and for other causes,
and the very thought no doubt caused
the Report TO sour on the stomachs OF
members. People naturally resent the

under cover of somebody else's name. =

The Particulars of the Terrible
ARRAY in Pamela County.


The following are the particulars of a
terrible affray near Sardis recently, of
which we had brief notice by telegraph.
They are condensed from the Pamela
Star Mr.. James Bayles and freedman,
Mike Redman, whom he had employed
for the year, fell out in consequence of
the attempt of Redman to remove some
articles which Bayles had supplied him
with, to a neighboring farm, on which
Redman had determined to labor after
contracting with Bayles. Pending the
alteration, Mr.. William Harris came
up, and proposed that Redman make to
Bayles note for the amount of supplies
Bayles had furnished him, and get
Fowler (the person with whom Redman
had last contracted) to sign it, which was
agreed to. The trouble was supposed to
be at an end. Redman went to see
Fowler, to get his signature to the note,
leaving with Bayles two other freedmen,
Kuykendall and Bailey (confederates of
Redman) one of whom, without notice,
shot Bayles with a pistol in the
small of the back. Bayles remarked,
Zone of you damned rascals has shot
me, and raising his shot gun, shot one,
and then turning, shot the other-killing
both dead OH the spot. 1t WAS ascer-
tanned that Redman had given Bailey and
Kuykendall whiskey, and they were
drunk, and he had also furnished them
with the pistol. Bayles wound is a
serious and painful one, but it is not now
thought to be fatal one.
The following is the verdict of the jury
of inquest, showing that the act of Boyles
was iustifiable The cross h4 marks in
dictate that majority of the jury were
colored men:
We, the jury, summoned and sworn upon
the inquest holden over the bodies of
Thomas Kuykendall and George Bailey,
after diligent inquiry and examination of
the witnesses, find they came TO their death
by shots from Il double-barrel shot gun,
loaded with powder and lead, by the hands
of James BOyles. We find that James Boyles
was justifiable i'll the killing of said Thomas
Kuykendall and George Bailey We further
fir that the difficulty was caused by Mike
Redman furnishing pistol to said Bailey
and Kuykendall, and that he is accessory to
the killing of said men, and in the shooting
of James Boyles.
