WASHINGTON, July 3l.-The following
IS telegram of Gov. Ames, of Miss, t.
the President in relation to the VicksbuTg
trouble:
Jackson, Miss, July 29.-President L..
5. Grant, Washington: | regret to inform
you that find upon returning here that an
alarming condition Ofafiairs exist at Vicks-
burg. Infantry and cavalry organizations
exist, and it is reported that a number of
pieces Of artillery have been sent TO that
city, and these bodies are armed and OIgan-
lied in violation of law by those supposed
10 be the guardians Of peace. This is po-
liticai controversy. On the one side the
Democrats, represented by the whites,
claim that they fear frauds ON the part of
their opponents. The Republicans, consist
ing mainly of blacks, claim they fear frauds
and also violence on the part of the Demo-
Gratis. At one time collision and bloodshed
were feared by all. Now, not by Republi-
cans, but by Democrats, it is disbelieved.
only because they have become masters of
the situation. 1t is they. also, who oppose
the presence Of troops at this time.
VI the cause of this lamentable
state Of affairs, it is now
useless to speak. l only seek peace and
protection for all. Can there be any seri-
Gus objection why troops should not be
there? No harm can result, for troops are
in many of our cities. at this moment in
two cities Of this State. Their presence
may 10 much good. Ii may saver many lives.
Even one would more than compensate
for the harm which, if any, do not see, to
result from such presence. VIII it not be
the least Of evils to have the troops there
for any emergency? ALBERT AMEs,
Governor of Mississippi.
The following reply was sent to Gov.
Ames today:
Washington. ID. c., July 3l-HOn. y.
Ames, Jackson, Miss: The contents of
your dispatch have been submitted to the
President. He declines to move troops ex-
cept under a call made strictly in accord
ance with the terms of the Constitution.

Paris (Tenn.) Intelligence, July 81.
During the last week two horses be-
longing to Mr.. Samuel L. McFadden.
of this county, went mad and died IN
the pasture where they were being fed.
Both of these animals had been bitten
by a dog four weeks previous. The
dog showed signs of incipient rabies
about the time of the biting, and af-
forwards was killed.
This terrible disease has been among
dogs in this section now for two years.
a large number of dogs have been af-
fected that we're not known to be bit
ten, yet the strong probability is, that
all had been bitten, either last season
or this, by some rabid animal. A con.
siderable number Of hogs and cattle
have been affected by the disease.
SOM Of these we know to have been
bitten 10y dogs, and the others, although
not known to have been, no doubt re-
eeived the poisson in the same way.

If family influence is of any force in
electing a man to Office, NJ. NJ. Brien,
Jr., has better show than we at first
supposed. Mayor Kercheval has been
fixing things" for him. W. G. Brien
made a speech, last night. which, if
not directly in his cousins favor, was
at least against the action of the con-
yention and the nomination of a White
Mans ticket, while Col John D. Brien
looked after his interests IN Edgefeld.
We do not question the propriety of
the course taken by the two gentlemen
last named. 1t Is but natural that
they should desire to lend their relative
helping hand, and we have never sus-
pected them of Radical sympathies;
but the circumstance is worth noting
as an indication that the would-be

against him and appreciat Is the neces-
sity Of drawing upon all the resources
at his command.
