prevented from passing o. Is. landing

Austin seems to have been 10 posses
sion Of the whites, but no PARTICULARS
can be learned from which it is inferred
trouble may yet occur at that place.
A special to night from Helena,
Ark, to the appeal, was met to day
at o. X landing by mob of armed
negroes, who informed Capt. Smith
that he could take his boat to Austin,
but that he could not return. Capt
Smith deemed it most prudent to turn

1t is reported from over the river
that a fight occurred at Austin this
morning, and the negroes were re
pulsed. They have sent a messenger
to Coahomia county, Miss, aud this
place to get all the recruits possible
1t is also stated tbs negroes will attack
Austin to night.
Later dispatches report fighting at
Austin, 900 negroes have the town
beseiged, and the town is guarded By
only 200 white men. A steamer left
Memphis Tuesday with 800 white men,
going to the relief of Austin, aud
white recruits are gathering from

gathering forces also from all the sur

Ed. Grassland.

Hon. Edward Grassland, our mem
Der of Congress, addressed very re
spectacle number of our citizens at the
Court House, Wednesday evening,
giving an account Of the works and
doings of the last Congress and his
connection herewith. The general
reader is bmiIiar with the main points
discussed. 1t requires no close OBJ
server to see that Col. Grassland still
holds the affection and confidence OF
these people to an enthusiastic degree
He announced, as on previous occa-
sions, that he was not candidate for
reelection, but was profoundly CRATE
full for the kindness aud partiality of
friends who had pressed him to take
the field. We say to him well done
good and faithful servant"
no Convention WIFI be Called :
The Mayfeld Democrat suffers its
partialities to overshadow its better
judgment of facts and figures in the
teatter of a Democratic Congressional
Convention. 1t wants the figures pre-
ciSely as it places them. and this is
evidently the extent of its authority
for them. 1t gives Boon $500, Ben
nett 1000, Turner 1000, aud says the
Republican vote of this District mum
Der only about $500.
We have nothing to do with the
Democrats estimates of the relative
strength of Boon, Bennett and Tur
Der. and only .s.sss - sLonla Be
-eonFe6T II ne kResc either of the pres
ent aspirants would be elected. We
don't dispute the Democrats estimates,
but the Paducah Keatuckian does ex :
actIy reverse them The Eddyville
Telegraph AYERS that Bennett will beat
Boon and Turner out of all sight
while the Paducah Tobacco Plant as
serts that Turner is certainly the win
Dipg man. 1t is natural to suppose
that all these papers are influenced
mS re or less by their partialities, but
it is not in our line to make any issue
on these points.
The Democrat gives the Republican
vote at 500 and it is in thi. we want
to set it right, that it may undeceive It's
readers. Ia the last Cougres>ionaI
racs there was 4 1927 Republican votes
polled. Harlan for Governor polled
The rise of 5000, and Grant nearly
Appropriated 5000. The DsD,ocro
is therefore wide of the true figures
Besides, we assert that it can be sus-
tanned from the census Ia Die that there
are 1000 Republican voters in thi:
District. Every Intelligent citizen
we'll knows hat full cOlOred vote
was never = y brought out in any o
the counties of the District, except il
be McCracken, but that they are in
creasing 10 their disposition to vote il
the country precincts. i may also be
safely assumed that any man who
voted for Harlan or Grant would dc
10 great violence to his feelings in 70
ling for any other good Republican,
1t is also certain to assume that two OF
more candidates of The same party al
ways decrease the aggregate party vote
We recur TO these facts only to en-
Tighten our Graves county neighbor
in the face Of the present understand
10 candidates is 10 retire from the race,
in which event we consider a conven-
ton not absolutely necessary.
