THE CoLoRED DELIBERATIONS. The
colored people Of Hickman celebrated last
Tuesday, the Attn, the anniversary of the
Emancipation Proclamation. The exerci-
ses were conducted under the auspices of
the Colored Benevolent Society of Hick-
man, and were orderly and we'll behaved
throughout. \ good picnic dinner was
spread on the grounds, and the few white
people present rendered every courtesy
TO be desired or expected. Speeches were
made by Thomas Warrick, Harrison At
kins, Frank Thompson, Thos. Bogy, and
Ike Bowden, some III behalf of the Be-
nevolent Society and some in the interest
- The Good Templars. From the animus
of the speeches made there appears 10 be
some rivalry between the two institutions
among the colored people, though exactly
how or to what extent we failed to exact
" comprehend The whole of which in
dicated, that the eolored people like the
whites, agreed that intemperanee and
drunkenness were evils, but differed as
TO the proper remedy to be applied.
One OF the speakers spoke OF the YarI-
Gus false reports that had been circulated
among the colored voters during the last
county elections, chief of which, was one
charging that the Changers had determin-
ed to reduce the wages of the black man
to IS per month, and of women to 81. He
said he thought the report false and in
tended to humbug the cOlored man,
etc. etc.

Times atthe south.

The Cincinnati Commercials At
lanta, Ga, correspondent says:
Times are hard, the weather is dry,
/ and a wall of financial distress comes
into Atlanta from all the surrounding
country. The people say that they
are in debt, and that there is no money
in the country to pay the country >
debts. Cash readily commands two
per cent. month, and the rural popu-
lation can hardly get it at that. They
say something is wrong, for they used
to have plenty of money to conduct
their business, and they conclude that
the fault is with the National Bank
system, system which they think is
kept alive by the money influence Of
the North in Congress.
But there is something worse than dry
weather, short crop, hard times aud
scarcity of money which hangs as the
sword of Damoeles over every South
ern head. 1t Is the pending Civil
Rights Bill. | have not met South
ern man yet who does not say that the
passage of this measure in its present.
shape will bring more evils upon the
South than all other misfortunes COM
bined. This is putting it strong. but
you have only to mix awhile with the
Southern people TO realize that they
mean just what they say under this
head. and that their anticipations of
impending evil from the passage of
that measure are not without basis.
THE THIRD TERM.
Closely connected with the Civil
Rights agitation is the third term
proposition which meets with so much
IL No. &c.
how is not clear, the Southern people
have an idea that Grant will veto the /
Civil Rights Bill, and save them from
ruin. / say from ruin, for the prevail
ing belief here is that the passage of
that bill in its present snaps meaDs the
absolute destruction Of Southern
schools, Southern society, and South
ern prosperity. They have no hope
from Congress, believing that that body
is completely under the control of the
Northern Radical element, who hate
every Southern whiteskin with an abb
ding aud eternal hatred It is useless
to argue with them on this point.
They believe that the Civil Rights
Bill was designed for the degradation
and humiliation Of the South, aud the
destruction Of everything that South
err men hold dear.
Holding this view, and believing
that the bill is the browning effort OF
the Northern fanatics to reduce the
South to complete ruin, they grasp with
the energy Of despair to the last hope

A Tough Yarn.

From the Des Moines (Iowa) Leader. ]
One year ago last Spring, Mr. Car

from Fort Laramie $50 miles, through
a country infested with hostile In
dians, aud full Of danger for the civil
lied pale face. For some time Mr..
Carper continued to carry the mails
over this route. II e was compelled to
keep a sharp look out for the red skins,
and often served as a target to their
FIRE arms. But he escaped with re-
mark a BILE luck until one day on his re
turn trip to the Fort where he was set
upon by party of thirty FIVE Indians
mounted upon their ponies. Five or
six bullets took effect on his person
from the first fire, but none Of the
wounds greatly disabled him Then
he started his horses into a dead run
in the direction of the Fort, aud drop
ping into the bottom Of the wagon,
with his back against the dash board,
rested his eighteen shooter across the
back of the seat, and as the whole
pack of screeching red devils came
dashing after him, continued to fire in
rIpid succe>sion-picking off the lead
ers first. When the last cartridge in
his rifle was gone he had recourse to
resolvers, aud thus kept up the fight
until within n short distance of the
Fort, when the red skins skunk away
leaving twenty eight Of their number
dead aud dying along the road. When
the Fort was reached he was more dead
than alive. Nine bullets had pierced
his person-four of the number pass
ing entirely through portions of hi,
body-but luckily, it would seen
providentially none had touched a vita
part. : x x He counts the mum
