THE CANVASS.

A meeting of citizens was held at
Turner'S Hall in the Second ward last
night and addressed by Colonel A. ].
Kellar. Of the Avalanche, and Messrs
John A. Roush, Peyton J. Smith and
George B. Peters, candidates for the
Legislature. Colonel Kellars remarku
we're published in the morning papers,
from which it will be seen that, while not
having the utmost faith in parties, he
gives his unqualified support to Casey
Young for Congress and the entire Leg
islative ticket. His name had been used
by his friends, and some not his friends,
in connection with an opposition ticket
BE set himself right on that question,
aud paid his respects to some who are
running round trying to find candidates
for selfish ends or to play into the hands
Of the Barbour Lewis party. His
speech was replete with sound common
sense aud practical ideas, and was
well received by the crowd. The other
speeches were not quite So lengthy but
quite to the point, and indicate that the
gentlemen, if elected, as they doubtless
will be, will make working members of
the Legislature, animated by desive to
G airy out the wishes of the people. Itis
evi, lent that they have given already
much Sttention to the general and local
question : that will core up before the
next Legislature. snd while mt orators

AN OUTRAGE OF ANOTHER COLOR.

Attorney Gen. Williams, whe claims the
mower to set aside State laws anywhere,
has not heard Of the jail delivery at
Holly Springs, We presume, since no
troops or United States Marshals have
been sent there to extinguish the ku-
Klux. 1t happens that the maskers
were colored men, but of course that
would not cause such great man as
Williams to hesitate in the great work
be has commenced of Furnishing all vio-
lstors oflaw and order in the conquered
States. The facts are. briefly, that two
desperate negroes escaped from Jail, and
in doing so killed one of the negro
guards. They we're recsptured and put
back in Jail That was Tuesday Of
last week. Wednesday night dis
guised mob Of negroes went to the
jail, which is in a remote part Of the
town, demanded and received the keys
from the jailer and took the two muir
derers a mile from town and wreaked
vengeance on them in the most disboli-
cal manner. Next morning the bodies
were found shockingly mutilated and
buried in shallow graves. 1t is surpris-
ing that the Attorney General, who is
usually so prompt to follow the Ku-Klux
to their dens, has not heard Of this par
ticular Southern outrage" The local
authorities have arrested several negroes,
but according to the precedent in Ten
nessee that should be disregarded alto
gether by the Federal authorities. and
proceedingsinstituted to convict and pun
ish the guilty, just as though the United
States courts had original and exclusive
jurisdiction. We hope our esteemed
and talented friend Williams will not by
any inadvertence lay himself liable to
the suspicion that he applies one rule
to Democratic State ard another to q
State having Republican Governor, or
that he has been too much interested in
the late and coming elections since the
Trenton affair to exercise his usual
vigilance. He has made a reputaticn
for finding and suppressing masked ma
rauders, and he should be jealous of his
laurels even as he would be Of Govern
mont landaule. 1t is true there were
four prisoners killed at Trenton and
only two at Holly Springs, and that the
Republican party of Mississippi can
spare a few voters and still have q
majority; that may make a difference
but as soon as the elections are over and
Williams hears Of this Southern outrage
he will no doubt-take pinch OF snuff
The country can repose in security as
long as such man as Williams stands
at the telescope of justice and keeps an
eye on the movements of the Ku-Klux.
When his glance pierces their dark cav.
erns the grand cyclops,th little cyclopses

Facts worth knowing.

During a recent trial or comparison Of
ordinary Baking Powders in New York,
with DooLEY's YEAST POWDER, it was
shown conslusively that better results
were attained with from one-half to two
thirds the quantity of the latter than
with any other in market The secret
of the success lies in the care with which
DooLEY's YEAST POWDER is prepared,
and its entire freedom from substances
that are injurious to the system.

TIE FREEnMEN,s BAKK.

A Washington special to the Courier
Journal says:
DR.. Purvis, the colord commissioner to
wind up the affairs of the Freedmen s
bank, proposes to have criminal suit
instituted against the late members Of
the finance committee of that defunct
institution. 1t appears that one Of the
bylaws OF the bank prohibited the max
ing of personal loans on notes. without
the consent of majority of the trustees.
This stipulation was hagrantly violated,
and loans of this nature are outstanding
aggregating upward of three hundred
thousand dollars. The innovation be-
gan at the very outset of the business of
the bank, by the finance committee, then
composed Of Henry D. Cook and W. 5.
Huntington, deceased, and was contin-
ued up till the day the bank closed
business. Mr.. Wilson, cashier, was
igaorant of the amount thus loaned.
negotiations of the kind being conducted
by the finance committee, the record OF
whose transactions was kept in set of
books separate from those of the bank.
The finance committee not only violated
the bylaws Of the bank. but the charter
given by Congress; and the actions
against those composing it will be for
malfeasance in Office.

The Jewish Times says: From Tenn
esvar, Hungary, comes the report that
an entire sect, formerly Christian, has
determined to embrace Judaism. The
Ssbbatarians have thus far confessed
Christianity, believing in the messiah
ship of Jesus Of Nazareth but celebrated
the Jewish Sabbath as the Lords day
They also observed other prescripts
found in the old dispensation They
abstained from eating the meat OF ami
mails designated as uncleau. and com
memorated the Day OF Atonement
They had to carry on the practice Of
ceremonies that are Jewish in great
secrecy, in order TO escape persecution.
They now propose to become fully iden-
tilted with Judaism. A delegation rep
resenting one congregation Of thirty
four families has arrived at Temesvar, to
ask admission in the Jewish fold and to
obtain means to build synagogues, pnr-
chase Torah-rolls, and establish such in
stitutions as are deemed requisite TO
carry out their object fully. The Saba
tarians are agriculturists, and are spread
over several villages and townships 10

Very Wonderful Freak Of Nature!
A sIx-LEGGED CALF BARNUM OUTDONE.

A s1x-LEGGED CALF BARNUM OUTDONE.
Just before going to press, late yes
terday evening, we were waited on by
Captain A. F. Green, Of McLennan Co.,
Texas, and asked to walk around to the
Excelsior Stable and see for onrself one
of the greatest of living curiosities.-
Having yet some of woman's frailry in
our composition, we readily assented to
the Captains kind invitation, and walk
ed around with him to the Stable. 10
our great surprise and utter astonish-
ment we found we were in the presence
of a most wonderful and unheard of Gu
riosity and freak of nature in the shape
of bull calf, nine months old, with
SIX perfect and complete legs, none of
which are in the least uniformed, or
producing the least awkwardness in the
locomotion of the calf. The two extra
legs are perfect, feet and all, and spring
from the middle of the body, are per-
tectly uniform in all respects, and the
calf walks with the same ease and elias
ITCHY as any of the natural four legged
ones we see every day. The calf in all
other respects is a fine, sleak and per-
fectly docile one, and of course has
been we'll groomed.
Captain Green leav es this morning on
the Taylor for New Orleans, where
he intends commencing series of ex-
hibitions with this more than wonder
full curiosity. Before leaving on the
Taylor all who wish to take sight at
the calf can have an opportunity, by
walking around to the Excelsior Sta
BILE, where Captain Green will take
pleasure in exhibiting his wonderful
calf. No charge will be made to our
people, as the time is too short in Alex
andria to commence taking in the cash.
Truly Captain A. F. Green has a for
tune ahead.
