A Pooh PoEcY. -The Steilacoom Er-
press has donned patent outside, and
publishes the same reading-matter as

yer Register, Dalles 1Eountaiaeer and
Olympia Transcript, all use the same
sheets, printed by San Francisco firm.
This indicates that one-half the pub
fishers of the Territory, while advising
everybody else to patronize home in
dustry," adopt different rule for their
own guidance. This may be right, but
they must not complain if the merchant
sends abroad for his bill-heads and cards
on the same plea-that of cheapness.

SPoRTsMEN's NATIONAL CONVENTION. -
The National Sportsmen's Association
held its convention at Cleveland, Ohio,
recently. There was discussion as to
the expediency of some changes in the
constitution of the association, SO as to
enable it to cooperate with the British
provinces in their endeavors to protect
game. The desirableness of such CO.
operation was generally admitted, and
the matter left in the hands of the ex-
ecutive committee to report to the con-
vention at its ensuing meeting. The
value of the association to the whole
country was briefly explained and fore
IDLY urged by DR.. Gurlie, one of the
earliest advocates of fish-cnlture. Col.
Whittlesey addressed the convention
briefly on the subject of timber pre-
servation and renewal, on the ground
of economy, and also on the preserva-
tian of animals.

FIRE AT SEATTLE. A fire occurred at
Seattle last Monday which resulted in
the total destruction of the building &C.
copied by J. P. Freeman, and its con-
tents, consisting of miscellaneous goods.
1t appears to have originated from the
concentration of sun-rays by some glass
object in the show window, setting fire
to combustible material and commune
eating the flames to the building before
discovery. The citizens did their ut
most to save property but only sue
ceeded in combining the flames to the
building where they originated. Mr..
Freeman's loss is about $4,000, por-
ton of which has been replaced by the
voluntary contributions of citizens. A
number of others sustain small losses
from damage by removal OF goods DUR
ing the panic which ensued.

The Revival Of the KmOW.NOah.
Ing Crusa de by the Rad.
1caI Leaders liza Ohio.

The Radicals are a party of crusaders.
Finding that the crusade against the
South, has ceased to be potent political
engine, they have revived the Know.
Nothing crusade against Catholics and
foreigners. We notice that Judge Taft,
their most prominent candidate for Gov
ernor, next to the nominee, makes the
religious question the staple of his speech
ditto, Gen. Young, their candidate for
1t. -Governor-and a dispatch from
stentenville, Ohio says:
Ex-Gov. Noyes and Hon. A. NJ. Burns
are addressing a Republican meeting
there tonight, 5000 strong.
The governor discussed the Catholic
question at length and said the fight by
Gladstone, Bismark and Victor Emmanuel
in Europe is part of the contest going on
In this country.
The currency question is being aban-
bonded by the Radical leaders and the
religious question is uppermost. 1t is the
old Know-Nothing fight of 1885 over
again. The Democracy now as always, are
the cause of re ligious free
dom.

THE CLINTON RIOT
Who Brought it On. and Where the
Responsibility Rests.

The primary cause of the difficulty
between the races, at Clinton, on Satur-
day, was the spirit of hatred and distrust
of the whites, which has been industri-
ously cultivated by the carpet-bag class
of politicians It's immediate origin will
be understood from the two accounts OF
the commencement of the fght, publish
ed in another column In either case,
the negroes were the aggressors. One
account is that the young (white) men,
after Judge Johnston had concluded his
speech, retired over branch, in a small
clump of trees some three hundred yards
distant, to refresh themselves with glass
of spirits, and were intruded upon and
assaulted with violence by a posse of ne
groes.
Another account il that a negro re-
sented side remark of young white
man, upon something the Radical orator
had said, but which was not loud enough
to interrupt the speaker; that the white
man, to prevent disturbance, was car
ried rapidly off from the crowd, by his
companions, and down the hill across the
said branch, to which point he had been
followed by a crowd of negroes who
were raving and cursing; and that there
the fight began. In either event, there
is no question of where the responsibility
of the tragic affair belongs.
The conduct of the negroes, in the
pursuit and brutal massacre of young
Messrs. Thompson and Sively, and the
and the atrocious murder of Mr..
Charles Chiffon, Gin his own yard and in
presence of his family who had no con-
nection with the difficulty, and was try
ing to do what he conceived to be an act
of kindness to fleeing women and chill
dren Of the colored race-recall the
scenes of the negro butchery of the
whites in st. Domingo. Naturally, these
inhuman atrocities provoked among the
whites a spirit of retaliation, which was
justifable under the circumstances. 1t
may have been exercised upon some per-
sons who were not directly engaged in the
the original fracas but the negroes,
having taken it up as a race, brought
upon themselves the consequences of such
an issue. Nothing less than a practical
display by the whites, Of their power to
redress wrongs and take care of them
selves, would have availed to cool the
savage thirst for blood, displayed by the
and restored peace, which it is
so much the interest of both races to
have, and which, we ars gratifed to
state, has been entirely restored.

HnSOIemt Attempt of NeEres to
Disturb and Break mp IN
Democratic Meeting.

An eyewitness relates an occurrence
the other day at Madison Station, which
would have resulted in serious race diff
ficulty, but for the forbearance of the
whites, under provoking insult. They
were holding Club Meeting, when a
crowd of negroes with drums beating
passed directly by them, interrupting
their proceedings, with loud noise aud
insulting demeanor. Soon, thereaf-
ter, the same crowd of negroes formed in
cavalry style. with the sams appearance
of defiance and aggression. The whites
quietly ignored the interruption and chal-
lenge, and suppressed the spirit of resent
ment which they naturally felt. For
the sake of peace We hope to hear of no
more such temptations to violence

YazOo Herald
While A. I. Morgan, the Radical
sheriff of this county, was speaking,
Wednesday night, at Wilson's hall, upon
political matters, row occurred between
white man and negro in regard to
something said by the speaker, in which
Dick Mitchell, desperate man and one
of the rising luminaries in the Radical
armament was killed by pistol shot, the
ball striking him in the neck and resulting
as before stated, fatally-and w. H.
FOote, the negro circuit clerk of this coun-
ty, wounded so severely that his life is
dispaired Of by his physician. DR. MoOre's
coat was perforated by a large sized ball,
while Mr.. Ed. Dreaming received a slight
wound in the shoulder.
The uniform impression is that the
difficulty was originated by a negro named
Jim Clark shooting at our fellow-towns-
man, Henry M. Dickson, and that, after
the happening of that event, a promiscu-
Gus firing was kept up until about fifty
shots were fired, when the affair was
brought to period, with the results as
above stated. Mr.. Dickson narrowly es-
capped being killed, as the ball that went
ploughing through his clothing but
barely missed his spinal column. Mr..
Dickson, DIR. Moore, and Ed. Dreaming
Esq. are all Democrats.
Morgan was not visible on the streets
yesterday, and the report was that he had
left town, but as to that we have nothing
to say, not knowing anything definite.
The town was parolled during the night
of the occurrence by whites, fearing that
the negroes might attempt to renew the
difficulty which had such bloody termi-
nation few days before. On the morn
ing after the affair in question, citizens
meeting was held and measures were
adopted to secure the safety of
the town, let the attack upon it come from
what quarter it might. Nearly every white
man is a member of one of the two mill
tary companies organized here on yes
terday morning, as matter of self-protec-
ton.

was reported here yesterday. that this
party was killing negroes in every direc-
ton. but there is no authentic informa-
ton that any were killed, but it Is very
probable that two or three who were
known to have participated in the Pur-
suit of the whites were killed if they
were found.
AT JACKSON.
Most of the jackson company returned
on special train, in the morning some
of them who were left came back half
way on foot where they got wagon, in
which they came the remainder OF the
way. Here they found a great deal OF
EXCITEMENT,
which was momentarily increasing, as
squad after squad of country negroes ar
rived and gathered around the Mansion.
The news spread from house to house and
man to man that the negroes were de-
handing arms of the Governor, and the
whites began rapidly to collect in num-
bers in front of the Capitol. Sheriff
Harvey approached Capt. Frank John
ston and requested conference between
leading white citizens and leading negroes.
This conference was soon brought about
and there the negroes said that they
wanted no arms and no fight; that those
who were coming in from the country
were seeking protection, and that was
what they wanted that they understood
that a large body of whites were moving
on the town, killing as they came, and
we're already within four or five miles OF
this point, and they were mOmsntarily
expecting them to reach here. The white
people assured them that if protection was
what was wanted they should have it.
And soon so many of Capt. Johnston's
company as could procure horses, accom-
panied by Col. w. H. Taylor, deputy
sheriff, were on their way to Clinton to
inform the people there what had occur
red. A committee was also sent to Gov.
Ames to inform him that the men OF
! jackson were able to protect themselves,
and willing to protect the negroes if they
were for peace, and also what had been
agreed upon.
OFF AGAIN.
With many good-byes and well-wishes
| from the whites and blacks alike the
party was off with flag of truce flying
to the breeze, carried to assure any fee
ing negroes that the war was ended and
peace made. This reporter having gone
along with the war party went also with
the peace party to see how affairs were in
Clinton, and to see the treaty confirmed.

had been buried, such negroes as chose
to come in we saw about a dozen) did so
unmolested. But the pickets we're out
and the seventy-tive or hundred whites
who yet remained under arms and ready
for any emergency. The treaty of peace
was accepted and approved, with the
understanding that the pickets would be

arms until the news should be sent to
the negroes in the country. And the
