LYNCH LAW IN PASCAGOULA.
Three Negroes Hung for the MUIR.
der of a Citizen.
Intense Excitement.

Passengers By the night train report that at
East Pascagoula there was feverish state OF ex-
element when the train passed. 1t appears that
about two weeks ago quiet and unohendlng
citizen named Langley was brutally murdered in
the dead hour of the night at Moss Point, near
Pascagoula, and his store pillaged.
Suspicion at once aroused, and three ne
groes were locked up in the county jail on e.
charge Of having committed the deed. The citi-
zens proposed letting the law have its course but
their indignation was again aroused on Tuesday
night by the brutal assault by another negro on
the person of a respectable young lady, and there
was at once assembled in the courtyard gath
ering OF the inhabitants Of the neighborhood.
Demand was made upon the sheriff. who, pro-
testing against delivering the three murderers
up, was compelled by force Of arms to succumb.
The citizens party, numbering about two hun
dred, of which more than half were colOred, then
took the three suspected criminals out OF their
cells to spot some seventy-fve yards from the
railroad station, where a convenient oak tree was
found.
The first one had the halter placed about hi 8
neck, and was asked what he had to say. After
| some hesitancy he made full and complete con-
iession of the crime, and stated that whisky was
the cause of his untimely end. Hewas immedi-
ately swung up and the second brought up; he
in turn also confessed, and also the third and by
7:33 o'clock the three murderers of Mr.. Lang Icy
were no more.
| The colored citizens then quietly dispersed
leaving the bodies for the friends of the criminals
| to care for.
They all spoke at length, and although some
what nervous, gave detailed statement of theil
crime.

How IT SrANDs.-The N. Y. Tribune, speak
ing Of the present position of Grant, says:
We have no heart to accuse the President OF
inconsistency. He does not know enough of
law or politics to see the folly and sin Of trea-
son to principles. But it is time for the men
of conscience and honor still left in the Re-
publican party to consider seriously whether
they can any longer given even tacit support
to such an Administration. The President
imagines that the late elections have absolved
him from any allegiance to the Republican
party, and set him free to seek his fortune in
other quarters. Just at present he thinks that
rag-money and opposition to the Civil Rights
bills are the most available capital to his
hand. Who can foresee what will be the next
vagary Of this narrow, selfish and undis-
ciplined mind? If he is let alone, he will be
comparatively harmless for the two years and
a half when still remain Of his administra-
ton. But he is capable of great damage, If
the timidity of Republicans gives to the
audacity of his retainers any power whatever
in this Congress and the next

WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, Nov 19.-The report Of the Com
of Internal Revenue shows that the
total production Of manufactured tobacco during
the last fiscal year was lis, 54S, 6lS pounds: Inc
collection Of tax on tobacco was $50, 249,S75 To-
tai quantity Of manufactured during the veal,
10, S37, 1927 pounds. The actual production OF
manufactured tobacco exceeded that OF the pre-
vious year by over 1000 900 pounds, and the Tor
eign expectation exceeded that of the previous
year by nearly 1900 pounds.
The Commissioner urges the continuation CT
the tobacco clauses in the act OF June &, 1917.
without amendment or alteration.
The results Of this great trade, so far as its
relations to the G vernment are concerned, have
been exceedingly satisfactory. During the last
fiscal year $3.50 fruit distilleres wee registered
and ZS4l operated; 709 distilleries other than
fruit were registered, and Cos operated. There
has been an increased activity in all operations
relating to bonded distilled spirits.
The quantity produced during the year 1874,
as compared with that produced during 1873, is
relatively greater than the quantity withdrawn
for all purposes during 1874, as compared with
the quantity withdrawn for all purposes during
1873, leaving a balance OF 1881, 200 gallons in
warehouse June 30, 1874, which is $500, PAT gal
Ions more than was in warehouse June 3d. 1873,
the quantity in warehouses at that time being
Il, 81, 462 gallons.
The whole number of cases compromised dur
ing the past fiscal year was 3Sl, and the total
amount received by compromise S62,679. During
the year 500 suits have beer commenced, 222s
have been settled in favor OF the United States
Government 527 against 1865 suits were settlet
or dismissed, and there were pending on the LIST
of July, 1874, 7246. The largest amount collect:
ed in any one quarter from tobacco was collected
during the first quarter OF the current fiscal year
which reaches the sum OF $40, l62, 954. Should
corresponding relative collections continue to b.
made for the remaining three-quarters, the re
ceipts for the current fiscal year will aggregate
$50, 0oO. 0c0.
During the first quarter Of the present yea
the demand for distilled spirits has been active
and the quantity withdrawn from the warehouse
upon payment OF the tax, has exceeded tn
quantity deposited. so that the balance re
manning in warehouse September 3Oth, 1874
has been reduced to 1857 ,O96 gallons, or
decrease of 3,24O, 6l3 gallons, compared will

THE STRIKE ABOUT ENDED.

New York, Nov. 19.-It now looks if the strike
of the longshoremen would soon terminate in
their favor, as the French line, of the first to
propose reduction Of wages, has now about q
hundred men working at the old rates. 1t was
necessary on the part OF the steamship company
to do this in order to get thoir steamer ready to
sail Sa .urday. The Atlas Line also put men to
work to-day at the old rates. The Cunard Line
has compromised by paying IS cents per hour.
The other lines still hold out.
New YORK, Nov. ia convention of the
Longshoremen's Union was held tonight, and a
resolution was adopted declining to accept any
compromise with the steamship companies.

In times not very ancient a church living in
England was an aristocratic perquisite to be
bestowed for tavors done, and on certain con-
ditions. What conditions were attached to it
will appear from a specimen recently un-
earthed Among the Winchelsea letters re-
Gently acquired bv the British Museum was
one dated Nov. 9, 1929, signed by John Will
kinson, and addressed to his Bishop. He
there complains that the Earl of Widchelsea
had given him presentation to living, s'and
that a Wife was never whispered to me till the
day after my Lords Death; then indeed my
Lady Herself told me that Her maid Morfee
was always intended to go along with the
Livings," and proceeds to narrate the passion
ate dismissal he received from "my Lady" for
refusing this honorable alliance. OF course,
it was very ungallant in the Rev. John Will
kinson to affront Miss Morfee in this way, but
office cannot be said to have possessed that
exaltation apparent among refined ladies' OF
to-day.

THE EMPIRE DISASTER.

Yesterday morning Capt. Francis had his men
promptly at work. Thousands Of people still
lounge upon the wharf to catch glimpse Of the
wreckers as they ascend and descend in the water
from the Inflated steamer.
Capt Francis was in hopes Of recovering some
of the bodies during the day, but found that q
good deal more freight would have to he re-
moved before they could be reached, as the
corpses were wedged in behind the freight in the
engine room. There is no doubt but that some
Of the bodies will be removed to-day, as much
Of the sugar and rice has been removed.
