Lynching has become of frequent &C.
currence in the South for q nameless
offense which has been encouraged
among the licentious teachings of the
Radical leaders. Nor is such mode Of
summary punishment untrequent in the
North, Speaking of the lynching Of
Shell, at Bellefontaine, Ohio, recently,
the Chicago Tribune says:
"In this particular instance, while the
interference with the progress of justice is
to be Condemned, there are circumstan-
ces which tend to paliate the action of
the indignant people who rose in their
wrath and swept the murderer out of ex-
istence without waiting the slow process
of the Court, with its new trials, writs Of
error, and mandamuses for the benefit Of
criminals. "

The old colored man that Wallace
Taylor shot in Rankin county died on
Saturday. Taylor had fled from justice,
and price had been placed upon his
head several days before the old man
died. The shooting was done on Tues

EDS. CLARION The Democrats and
Conservatives of old Lawrence, determin-
ed to have grand rally and basket din
ner at this place on the 30th ult., and
invited Messrs. +. Barksdale and G. E.
Hooker, and our candidates for the
Senate and House to address them. They
spoke in the order named to large and
attentive audience, consisting of voters
of both races, and many ladies'. After
Mr.. Thompson, our candidate for Sena-
tor, had closed, Judge Mendenhall, of
Simpson, was called upon and addressed
some effective remarks to the colored
voters. Col. Hooker will run ahead of
his ticket in this county, as neither party
are willing to take stock in Hill. But the
whole ticket will be elected by a hand
some majority. R. H. Thompson will
carry the District for Senator by 700
majority. Old Lawrence is thoroughly
aroused. Look for good report in No

A Civil Rights burial Case.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. I'd, 1875.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. I'd, 1875.
There will probably be suit for dam
ages growing out of the alleged refusal
of the Mount Moriah Cemetery Associa-
ton to receive for burial the remains of
Henry Jones, colored, the we'll known
caterer of this city, who died on Friday
last. Mrs. Jones bought lot in the
cemetery in April last and buried sister
in it month later, and last summer her
husband enclosed the lot with an orna-
mental railing. When the funeral cor
tege was on its way to the cemetery
yesterday, it was stopped, as alleged, by
= party of men who puported to repre-
sent the Association, alleging that no
person of color should be inferred there.
The body has been temporarily placed in
the receiving vault of the Lebanon Gem
etery, and counsel for the heirs has
opened communication with the cemetery
officials demanding the reception of the
body.

Organising ,he Militia.

The motive Of Ames in organizing the
militia, after saying to the Administra-
ton that purely white organization
would be Intellectual as q protection to
the negroes, and that a negro mi
litia would produce bloodshed and disor-
der, is clear. II is to bring on conflict,
and thus manufacture pretext for inter-
ference with Federal bayonets. To
checkna,e this atrocious scheme, and
afford practical evidence Of their deter
mination TO preserve order, white com
pancs are organizing in various parts of
the State and rendering their services to
the Governor, and, however reluctant,
he is compelled to accept them. The
State Executive Committee Of the Dem
ocratic.C Conservative party have earnestly
recommended this course; and we are
erati6ed 10 note that it has the warm
advocacy Of The Monitor, at Vicksburg,
where militia organization is now being
formed The Monitor says;
MILITIA.
Much discussion is being had over the
militia question; whether the white peo-
pie shall muster or not, puzzles many.
The organization of the militia by Gov
ernor Ames at this time is great calam-
ity, but IA he has decided upon this
course, let's meet the issue like men of
the two evils let's choose the least. ID is
understood that ten companies are to be
organized in this county, Eve white and
five colored, provided the whites are will
ing 10 muster i. not, all will be colored.
Now who can picture the awful results
that will arise by the organization Of ten
companies Of negro militia in our county,
organized. armed and equipped and sus-
tanned against the white race by the great
power OF the State, as will be represented
to them by their Radical leaders, 1t
will encourage and embolden them to
such degree as will certainly cause a
conflict with M X
Nov the organization of an equal number
of white companies will thwart him in
his murderous designs; it will show the
negro that they alone cannot be organ
lied and armed against us; but it will
hold them in check, restore peace and
quiet to our community, prevent further
disorder, and enable the crops to be
gathered; whereas, if we neglect this
duty of mastering, the fields will be
abandonedby the negroes for the military
camp; they will be told their day to OBJ.

Fac Shooting Case mt Clinton.

In another column, we have published
an account of the shooting of IA man
named Smith, at Clinton, as told by
himself. Also telegram from Judge
Cabaniss. stating that he was shot while
trying 10 escape, after being arrested in
the attempt to break into family resi-
dence (Mr. o. Il. Cox's.) Since the
article was put in type, we have been
waited on by two well known citizens of
Clinton Messrs. w. w. Dunton and b.
l.. Todd-who state that between 3 and
4 o'clock last night, the night-watch,
Mayor Lewis, and DR.. Whitfield said the
man was trying to effect an entrance into
Mr.. Cox's house, On approaching, he
attempted to elude them, but they arrest
ed him, and taking him him to the guard
house, he broke off and ran and was shot
by one of the guards. He was kept in
guard-house until train time, when he
was permitted to come to this city, where
he delivered himself of the miraculous
story of ill-treatment, related in another
column.
As it is probable the Ames press will
make a howl over the case, We have
published the facts as testified by citizens
whose sLntements cannot be gainsaid.

Parker's " ROOrbaek."


A full refutation of ParkeFs cock and
bull story about threatened violence
and lawlessness on the part Of whites in
Amite county and from the adjoining
parish in Louisiana, is published in an
other column. 1t will be seen that the
movement which Parker magnlfed into
terrible rebellion" was simply pre-
caut;onary measure adopted by peaceable
citizens against threatened violence,
which they had rea,on to believe had been
planned by the negro followers Of Par
ker; and it was to guard against dis
turbance of the peace that their action
was taken.
The truth is that Parker and his clan
have carried on a wholesale system of
public plumber in Amite county, and he,
as the head conspirator, is trembling in
dread Of the popular sentence which he
apprehends will be expressed through
the ballot-box. Hence his appeal to
Ames, another desperate carpet-bagger,
and his sensational story, which he vain
ly hoped would bring Federal troops to
his aid. But he missed his mark He
did not get them, and will not. The
outraged and plundered people of Ami tie
will settle with him at the election, with
out the interference of bayonets.
