NEW MOVEMENT.
The Negroes Of PanOia Joining Hands
with the Whites.
Unsolicited Nomination Of a White Con.
serTstlYe By Negro Convention.

Special to the Appeal
SARDIs, August 2s.-The Ozanne fac
tion Of the Republicans held a meeting
at the old courthouse in Pamela to-day
to nominate ticket in opposition to the
Howe ticket, nominated here on. Satur-
day last. At least fifteen hundred ne
groes were present, and the greatest en-
thusiasm was exhibited. They nomi-
mated the following ticket: 3. H. Tay-
lOr, a true southern gentleman, who has
had no afiliRtiOn with the Radi-
cal party, and this nomination
unsolicited by him, for the State senate;
VIM. Link, John Cooke Zone of the
present incumbents) and Jesse Harris
field, all eolored, for representatives; NJ.
Ozsnne. for sheriff; N. R. Sledge, ST.. Of
Como, for treasurer; ]. c. Harrison, for
chaneery clerk; Allan Fields Ceolored).
for circuit clerk; C. w. Fitzhugh Ceol-
ored), for assessor; Samuel Matthews,
for surveyor; Charles Carlton (cOlored)
for coroner.
The nominations were made unani-
nous. The convention was en-
tirely composed Of blacks, and it
is their movement asking the
white people to join with them.
This is wonderful movement to the
whites, and the conservative action of
the negroes, in this opposition, has won
the confidence of the whites, and white
and black will unite, it is thought, in
the support of the ticket. The dispatch
in your Sundays issue, from this place,
did not represent the true spirit Of this
great new movement. The meeting to-
day was the largest ever held in the
county,

FINISHED.
The Atlanta and Richmond Airline
Railroad Completed.

From the Atlanta Herald.l
At last the greatest practical enter
prise in which Atlanta has been en-
gagged since the war has attained a con-
summation. The last spike in the great
Airline railroad was driven yesterday
at ten o'clock, at distance of one hun
dred and fifty-three miles from Atlanta,
by President Buford. This finished the
road, and after a few appropriate re-
marks the president and suite got aboard
the train, and at five o'clock arrived at
the depot In this city on the first through
train which ever passed the entire line
from Richmond. Besides President Bu-
ford there was the vice-pIesident, to-
gether with Colonel B. Y. Sage, Colonel
Wexford, Captain Grant Wilkins, and
other distinguished gentlemen, who
have taken such an active part in tine
completion of this important link in our
railroad connections. When the news
spread that the first through train had
actually ar ived and was then in the
city, smile of satisfaction and cOngrat-
ulation was visible on every counte-
nance. Crowds fOcked to the hotel to
congratulate and converse with the ar
rivals by this train, and new and live
lier feelings seemed TO possess each indi-
vidual. We do not at present know Of
the arrangements Cor anything like a
public demonstration, but doubtless
something of the kind will be given in
honor Of this crowning event in our rail
road career

Escape OF the Notorious Murderer Jack

Special 20 the Appeal
SARDIs, Miss, August 2S.-In the
competitive examination for cadetship
to West Point and Annapolis from the
second congressional district of Missis-
sippi, the board of examiners, Mark O..
Brady, DR.. D. c. Dunlop, and r. P.
Jenkins, met eighteen applicants.
Four counties, Tunica, DeSoto, Panola,
and Tate, were represented. After a
long and careful examination of physi-
cal and mental qualifications, the board
was unable to decide the question of
merit for the West Point academy as
between Mr.. Penn, of Pamela; Mr.. Per-
kins, Of Tuniea; Mr.. Maxwell, OF De-
Soto, and Mr. Tate, of Tate county, each
being almost unexeeptionable. The ap-
pOintment was then decided by lot in
favor Of Mr.. Sam. Tate, jr. The ca.
detship for midshipman to Annapolis
was awarded to Samuel L. Powell, jr.,
Of DeSotO county, because of his superb
or mathematical abilities. The young
men, being amongst the most hightOned
Of the country, express no dissstisfse-
ton with the action of the board
ESCAPE OF A PRISONER.
A murderer by the name of Jack Dye,
a negro of most forbidding looks, made
his escape on Wednesday by breaking
through the cell wherein he was con-
fined, and taking his cell-mste with
him. Tate, you will bear in mind, is a
new county, and has no jail yet,
nor courthouse, so it was an easy
matter for Dye to get away. He
knocked the jsilOr down; but nOtwith-
standing this, that officer held Dyes
companion, who, with nineteen other
prisoners, now occupies the Jail at Pa
nola. a suitable reward will be offered
for Jacks arrest, and il is hoped your
vigilant police will be on the lookout
for him

sha Mears, judge of the thirteenth judi
cial circuit, who resides at Clarksville,
johnson county, while going to his
home, about three-quarters of a mile
from town, TO dinner yesterday, was
shot and mOrtally wounded by some
unknown person from tn, brush. Judge
Mears lived until one o'clock this morn
ing, at which time he died. The
deed is thought to have been
perpetrated by man, with whose wife
it is reported the judge had been toe in

distardly act, regardless of politics, and
every effort viii be made TO bring the
guilty party to justice. The affair
creates a profound sensation at the
capital. Judge Mears was recently ap-
pointed to the bench by Governor
Baxter.
Late accounts from Perry county state
that Sheriff Hambright, who myste-
riously disappeared from Perryville at
the time of the visit Of the adjutant-

returned, and is preparing to
leave the country. Names and
his party are still in arms, hiding
out in the mountains. The posse that
have warrants for his arrest are still hunt

have left the country.

Name Of the Self-Accused and his Con
federate-ssI Don't Want to be
Hung"-A Strange Story.

SAN Francisco, August 2s.--A man
named Irving, in jail here, confesses
himself to be the murderer Of Nathan,
of New York. He says the hOusekeep-
er's son got them to do the murder, at
the suggestion of Washington Nathan.
They determined to use chlorform. He
thinks the name of his confederate was
McNally. The following is the sub
stance of
HIS CONFESSION.
He says the sidog'' was stolen from
ship-carpenter's chest. Iknew where
his shop was. We entered the house atthe
basement. The housekeeper's son went
in and lifted the latch up. Some could
get in without trouble. After we got in
the cellar heard the bell ring nine. Tt
seemed to me about an hour and half
we were in the dark. It seemed
long to me. Perhaps it was not so late,
when the man came down and said
''PvE FINISHED THE OLD MAN.
we went up stairs. He had struck
the old man five or six times on the
head. When he saw he was going to
fall, he was afraid the fall would startle
the folks, and he caught hold Of him
and laid him down. "I've got in my
house in New York some Pacific-mail
stuff, some Boston, Hartford and Erie
stocks, and some other things. There's
small memOrandum-book l took
from the old man. There are several
pages IN Hebrew, with the names of
Thomas Albert Erosa, Samuel Lewis
Cummings, Fourteenth street, and DIR.
Leo WeoTtz. got between six and
seven thousand dollars. The safe was
open when we went up from the cellar.
l stayed there while the man washed
his hands and face, which had blood On
them. When we left the old man he
stopped and looked out at the door. As
he did so ne took hold of the cas- ings
and left
BLOOD MARKS
there and prints of his fingers. We
then concluded we would not leave the
house that night. 1t was opposite the
Fifth Avenue hotel. There were good
many policemen around and we were
afraid we would be seen and arrested.
We stayed until about six O'Clock in the
morning. Just as we went out at the
front door a man was passing on
the other side of the street with q
tin pail and looked at Us. Then
girl came along-a shop-girl; she

tice of us. My wife is in New York, and
1 have daughter fifteen years old. /
don't want to tell you the names of
either of these men, because it may not
be right; have told the chief Of police,
but l am afraid they are not going to
work about it the right way. I've been
expecting to see it all come out ever
since.
IDON'T WANT TO BE HUNG,
but 1 am willing to suffer the just pun
ishment. 1 was born at Sunnyside,
they call it Irvlngton. 1 am related to
Washington Irving.
The man confessing to the murder of
Nathan, says his name is Jno. 7. Irving.
He came here Tuesday as q sailor on
on board a British ship. He con-
fessed to the second mate and gave his
name as Brown. He was thought to be
insane. The commissioners could not
determine. He remained in jail and
appears sane.
