Bennington Politics.

BENNINGTON, aug. OIL.
As much hard work and interviewing has
been done in this town to-day by not only
the leaders but the rank and file of each
party as ever before and never were politi-
cal affairs more generally mixed up than
tonight The contest on the county ticket
at the election tomorrow will not be very
hard except over one or two persons nomi-
mated ON the republican ticket, as every
thing that can be will he zone TO defeat
them. The principal fight here will be
over the candidates for town representa-
tive. The republicans have nominated
one of their strongest men, L. p Norton,
of the firm OF E. and L. p. Norton, and at
present he appears to have the lead In the
village. He IS a general favorite with
the young men of the village and is under
stood to be in favor of license. The
peoples ticket has upon it the name of
David Carpenter, retired farmer
and strong temperance man. His strength
lies principally in the districts outside of
the village, although some of our leading
manufacturers will support him, and he
will probably draw some of the democratic
votes, ii they do not nominate straight
out 1t is understood that they have held
caucus this evening and nominated a
man, life long democrat, John Robinson,
and at present constable of the town. If
such should be the case, it is hardly reason-
able to suppose that @ choice will be made
On the 1rst ballot. II three cuno.uates
should be in the field and their friends
should stick to them, it would he difficult
to imagine how many ballots would be re.
quired to make choice, as the democrats
can poll at least $50 votes for their candi-
date, while the republican vote at the last
election was only $40, which if polled this
year would have to be divided between
Messrs. Carpenter and Norton, with proba-
blites that Norton would lead, Split
tickets will be found in abundance.
A republican ticket has been prepared,
with the name of Jackson Montgomery in.
stead of Judge NJ. X. Potter a demo-
cratic ticket is also out, with the name of
| C. e. Houghton in place of NJ. G Rem
| ington, and others are found in abundance.
Tickets have also been prepared for c. w.
Willard for member of Congress. The
democratic county ticket will be scratched
the most, as many of that party are OPP
posed to the candidate for senator from
the south shire, NJ. G. Remington, who is
a republican, although many better men
for the position, and men who would have
drawn not only the full democratic vote,
but many from the republicans, could have
been found in the democratic party. From
conversation with many of the leaders of
both parties here and at North Bennington
I predict that the day will be stormy and
strong chances that the balloting for repre-
sentatives will be carried on until into the
evening, but that the republican ticket,
with the exception of sheriff, will be elect
ed, but with majority considerably re-
duced from that of two years ago. b.

Serious Accident.

Charles Cleayeland conductor on the
Rutland railroad, was quite seriously in
jured, yesterday, by being knocked off
from hay car while passing the bridge at
Proctorsville. He was not missed until
the train arrived at Ludlow. He was
senseless for time, on rallying he started
on but found himself unable to go forward.
He hailed man driving on the highway
for assistance, who said he had not time to
stop. He finally persuaded him to take
him to Ludlow. He came to Rutland on
the mail train and was quite comfortable
last evening.

THE CONsHATTA NEGRO RIOT.
Prisoners Hanged En- Route for Shreye-
port.
NnRFynponr. Aug. 81.

SHREVEPORT. Aug. 81.
The air is full of rumors concerning the
Conshatta trouble, but none Of them can
be traced to reliable source. A gentle
man who left ConsLatta yesterday morning
reports all quiet, and citizens are discuss
ing the proprlcty of removing the prison
ers to Shreveport. 1t was reported to-day
that the prisoners were intercepted near
Mansfield by party of Texans and
hanged, but the driver of the Mansfield
stage which has just arrived. pronounces
the report entirely unfounded.
The Times has just received the follow
ing dispatch from number Of gentlemen
Just up from the Red River: 1t says that
company of men who started to Shreve-
port with Conshatta prisoners were over
taken twenty-three miles below Shreve-
port, on Sunday evening, about three
o'clock, by forty or fifty armed men, sup
posed to be Texans from Bayou Sabine,
who took the prisoners out of the hands of
the guard and killed Horner Twitchell,
Bob Devices, and Frank Edgerton on the
spot The other three, Howell, Holland
and Willis escaped, but were recaptured,
and are supposed to have shared the same
fate.
LATER.
Reports Just received tend to confirm
the dispatch to the Times, and leave little
room for doubt that the Conshatta pris-
oners were murdered at Netherlands plan
tation. thirty-fve miles below here, on the
east side of Red river and near the boun-
dairy line between Bossier and Red river
parishes.
The prisoners requested to be taken to
Shreveport and selected men to take charge
of the company that was to guard them.
Every precaution was taken that was be-
lieved necessary to insure their safety and
the citizens were satisfied with assurances
that they would leave the state and did not
desire to take har sh measures. The Tex
ans swore they did not intend to have such
damned scoundrcls hunting horses in their
state. A gentleman from whom we gather
this information says he saw dead bodies of
the first mentioned parties. This dispatch
ia not generally credited here, as various
parties have arrived to-day from Mansfield,
Keochi and Kingston, who must have
passed near the scenes of the reported
murders this morning, and they bring no
information on the subject.
