ishes the following details Of negro out
rage:
This morning at SiKty-Two Mile Sid
ing, an eating sand on the New Orleans,
st. Louis and Chicago railroad, two miles
north of Canton, Mississippi, an unlawful
and outrageous tresps,s on individual
rights was perpetrated. Quito a number
of prominent Radicals Of this state and
Louisiana, mostly colored, were psesen-
gers on the north bound tram that break.
fssis at Sixty-Two Mile Siding, on their
way TO the Radical convention which IL
assembling at Chattanooga. Among the
number may DO mentioned Shadd the ne
gro speaker Of the house Of representa-
tives; Lynch, negro congressman; Pease
United States senator; Avery. n mem Der
of the legislature; Gibbs, the sta,e school
superintendent Irelsnd, negro president
of Alcorn University; Compton. superin-
tendont Of the state asylum Hill, tho no.
gro secretary q state Of Mississippi. As
the passengers filed into breakfast. they
we're assigned to their seats by Major
Raphael, tho proprietor. One or two gem
/ tlemen. in the hurry attendant on such oc-
cssions. happened to- take seats at the la
dies tables, but ss coon ~ informed Of IL,
arose and went 20 their allotted seats
Hardly had these Ion tho Iadias' tables
when the above named crowd of Radical
disciples gathered around II and sat down.
Instantly Major Raphael approached
them and told them they wsre a, the la
dies table. asking them In polite terms.
toexchange for one equally as good pro.
vided near by.
Ireland (colored) threw hi, elonched
1st upon tho table and said: awe will
eat ii upon this table. or fight. iust ns you
please. No give away in this party"
Major Raphael. seeing that they were
determined TO hold their placee and carry
their point. told them that his walters
should not serve them. Amidst noisy be
hAvior and much Boosting, they msde
their breakfast from what was on TIE
table. offering the usual price for their
meal as they departed, which Major RAJ
phael declined to receive.
DR.. VIM. Compton encouraged these
fellows by sitting at the same table with
them, and thereby participating in their
Indecent conduct. IIe was once a distin-
guished respected citizen of this place
Pinchbanck was aboard OF the train,
but did no, come out.
These lawless men made boast before
they reached the eating stand here that
they intended 20 repeat At dinner wha,
they had done At breakfast but, as man v
OF our citizens happened TO be ut the de
pot when the train arrived. they very
wisely stood in the background.

RADICAL LOGIC.

Every republican organ in tho country
F. declaring that the present deplorsble
condition Of affairs in the South is sufi-

be Kept IN power. After nine years Of un-
interrupted rule, backed by svery act of
usurps!lon and tyranny by Radical
president Tho people 10 their desperation
have been driven TO open revolt with
arms; still the demand 10 that the Same
pack Of tyrannicsl creatures hs kept in
power for the good Of tho South. Surely
