WE learn that the Democratic Executive
Committee of Madison county has recently
called upon the Republican Executive Com :
mittee of the same county, and demanded
that the Republicans should take down from
the county ticket TWO members of the Leg
islature, the candidate for Sheriff, and three
memb ers of the Board of Supervisors, and
replace them with good Democrats. This
was the modest request of the Madison
County Democratic Executive Committee
Pilot.
Now, the truth is (and having seen the
documents we speak by the book the
proposition for compromise and union
of parties on the some ticket, giving to
each share of the offices, first came
from the Republicans, and it was ac-
coded to by the Democrats, with a good
deal of opposition among the latter, be-
cause it was believed they could elect
their whole ticket. The truth is, War
ner has been thrown overheard by his
own crowd in Madison, and he sees
everything in wrong light. He is a
miserable, undone carpet-bagger, 'that's
what s the matter with Hannah !"

THE YAzOOTRAGEDY
HE KILLING of Charles r. Pawn
by Frank Russell, the Som of the
DepuIY Sheriff.

The particulars of the killing of Chas
r. Fawn, who had been appointed b,
Morgan as deputy Sheriff of Yazoc
county, by Frank Russell, the son of ].
T. Russell, another deputy, are given in
the subjoined dispatch from Judge Hud-
son. The affair gave rise to various ex-
aggerated reports. 1t will be seen that
1t did not originate from politics
and that the white citizens, 50 far from
being unfriendly to the deceased, or de-
string to throw obstacles in his way in
the performance Of his official duties,
had made his bond for 500, 600, and that
they look with horror upon the deed
We are not advised what political party
young Russell is member of, but have
understood that his father is a Republi-
can. At all events, the latter has been
deputy, by. appointment of Morgan,
for some length of time, and the infer
ence is that they both belong to the same
party:

The white citizens of Warren county,

to forget that Edwards was black liner
in the Legislature of 1875. That he
voted against the reduction of the school
tax, against biennial sessions, and for
the militia bill. He introduced and en-
gineered through the House the infamous
metropolitan police bill, which, had it be-
come law, would have created standing
army, and would have inflicted upon the
people of Warren an additional tax OF

forth ashes and garbage should be separated
The plan was Characteristic. Occupants Of
houses we're ordered to supply separate recep-
tacles for each and the cartmen were required
to dump the ashes and garbage into different
carts.
The Board of Health resolved that the in
fected matter should be disinfected.
The stagnant pools in the marsh lands were
also ordered to be disinfected. 1t was like
attempting to catch bird by putting salt on
it's tail An evening contemporary said it was
covering cesspool with a handkerchief.
What is the result?
The dumps have not been disinfected.
The ashes and garbage are not separated by
house owners except in rare cases, and then
they are thrown into the same carts by the
cartmen.
The stagnant pools are as noxlous as ever.
Nothing has been done.

The Beecher trial will soon be over. unless
unforeseen circumstances Prolong it. Until
the verdict Of the jury is rendered it is proper
that any comments upon the evidence or the
management Of the case should be reserved,
but there is one feature appealing to our
sense of public decency and our respect for
justice which demands q severe comment.
We refer to the attempts that have been made
by the indiscreet partisans of Mr. Beecher
and Mr.. Triton TO convert the Court House of
Brooklyn into q Tammany Hall convention.
On one side we had what was called the
Plymouth church crowd, whose duty it was to
surround the clergyman and stimulate the
lawyers. We had flowers, Spontaneous"
levees, the daily coming and going Of Dir.
Beecher becoming triumphal procession.
During the speeches of Judge Porter and Mr..
Eyarts, the friends of Mr.. Beecher, these in
discreet partsans, took occasion to show their
friendship by bursts of applause. There was
q great deal Of indignation about this on
the part of the friends Of MIR. Tilton, and
we we're called upon to look at this
abandoned, lonely, heartbroken man in the
isolation of the desolaie court room, without
friends or companions or sympathy and
bounded by Plymouth church. This has been
jury We have the Plymouth church tactics
applied by Mr.. TLlton's friends. The other
day when Mr.. Beach entered the court room
he was greeted with "a round of applause
the same was repeated at the next session;
Mr. Fullerton, who accompanied Mr.. Beach,
was similarly greeted, and during the speech
Of Mr.. Beach applause has been 50 frequent
that the Judge on two or three occasions has
been compelled to rebuke Indignantly the un-
seemly and indecent manifestation.
We will not question who is right or who is
wrong in this business, and no doubt the
fault is largely with the friends of Mr..
Beecher, who have from the beginning
endeavored to make the trial more of
demonstration of public approval of their
pastor than o cold, careful scrutiny. But
what are we to think Of justice when it is per-
mitted to the lawyers on either side Of case
to pack the court room with partisans
whose duty it is TO cheer? How can q
Jury TIC cApoCttu W AeEllt Calmly upon
the evidence when they are surrounded
by a shouting multitude Of retainers, paid 81
coaxed to attend the court room and chez on
their champions? We can understand how
justice could be seriously injured oy proceed
ings Of this kind Let Us Suppose, and 1t is
quite possible, that MAJ be on trial for an
alleged offence that ae lies under the ban Of
popular resentment at the time, and that this
resentment u allowed to find expression in
the court Soom. How could the jury calmly de-
eide upon his innocence or guilt 2
These proceedings in Brooklyn recall to our
minds many Of the trials of the French Revo-
lutisn, when the laboring men and women
assembled in the court and shook their fists at
the judge and jury when the proceedings did
not suit them. Judge Nelson has won many
golden opinions by his behavior dn ein0 this
