Hon. J. X. McCalI. Of Hay wood
gounty, Stabs his Brother in-Law,
Henry n. Collier.
Last Sunday morning Mr.. Henry B.
Mccall, of Haywood county, met his
%brother-iu law, Henry B. Collier, a mer-
chant Of Oak Hill, at the home Of the
latter. While talking together by them
selves a difficulty arose from some I'M
known cause, which resulted 10 a des.
perate personal encounter. When first
discovered by other parties Collier was
beating Mccall with the latters a
Before they could be separated Mccall
drew a knife and gave Collier several Sc
we're cuts. Collier is lying at home Sc
verely if not dangerously injured. Nc.
Call was arrested and the preliminary ex-
animation was set for to-day at Browns
vile before a magistrate. He has re-
tanned as counsel tine firm OF Sanford 4
Cummins, of Covington. The Hon.
Holmes Cummins is in the city to-day,
but expects to go to Brownsville.
Mr.. Mccall was a member of the State
Senate in 1868, and is at present a
magistrate in Haywood county. Mr..
Collier is a brother Of w. A. Collier,
Esq of this city. Both the parties to
the difficulty are gentlemen of high
standing and have always been on the
kindest terms, The difficulty seems to
have been the result Of some slight mis-
understanding and sudden passion.

Republican party has undo failure Of re-
construction is simply an abaurrlity. 80 far
from being failure. the work accomplished
has been absolutely gigantic. III six year7'
of time tile Republican party las accom-
ptishetl what would l,are tekcn fifty years In
tho Old World. It fns oyersllrown n Borvlo
system two centuries old, which was almost
inscparab1y graftcd upon tho habits, tho
spirit, t1le very life Of tho South, aud It Inns
done IL with comparatively little shock, nnl
Isas put master and slaso upon tor,na Of
equality, anil re-eatab!is1lcl The dnte-Jsllum
Governments Of tho late slave States. Tho
only Just criticism which can be mado uron
the action Of tho Republican party Ia TINT 1t
l'as performed tho mighty work Of recon-
Rtr7lction too fast. It Inns been too eager to
complete it. The lleaGlong. i1ap1,lsivo mar,-
ner Of doing business characteristic of tho
American people Is responsible, however, for
this haste.
Tho Republican pnrty. however. il now
practically out Of power. Nevertheless, tllcre
is still great work which 1t can do in con-
nection with reconstruction. Tho futnro
hope, not only Of tic negro hut Of the South,
is the divinion Of its people into two great
rnrties, Conservative and Progressive, and
tho division Of tue colorcd vote between
these two. Tho negroes can make no head
way nrraycl NJ race against tile whites.
Divided, however, between these two natural
parties, they would receive n two-fold pzotec-
ton. The establishment of these two parties
will not only settlo tho negro question in tho
most satisfactory and permanent n,anucr,
but it will eliminate the whole pack OF
carpet-bngsers, adventurcrs, p1acc.hunters,
political knaves. mud tire.eating White
Leagues and Krt-kluz from Southern politics,
and place the South upon tho high road Of
prosperity nnd progress. This is the duty
which yet remains for the Republican party
to accomplish.

In CuLLEN'a behalf. All this wna d 7fmt*

Attorney REED assert TINT, while they
were badgcrcd for weeks to sign s,,ch
petition, they steadily refused to do 80, and
that, if their names aro n1ixetl to my sucl,

moro put to considerable expense

followed. y tlelny III tho mans sentence,
owing to lla detention M witness in another

was certainly ill-ti,ncd, md calculated ratlcr
to encourage tllnn discourage nclnss of crimes
TINT are elready too numerous. Wo can
scarcely imayino that Coy. BEyEn1puE was
