ACCIDENTAL SHOOTING.

Last Saturday, while party Of freedmen
we're hunting on the lands of l. D. Wither-
spoon, Esq, near town, Decatur Alexander,
young colored boy, was accidently shot by
his gun, while in his own hands. 1t seems
that he had been leaning against tree, with
his right leg thrown over his gun, when on
moving his leg: it is supposed his foot came
in contact with the hammer of the lock, caus-
ing it to discharge the load, which entered his
left side, penetrating the left lung and caus-
ing death instantly. A jury Of inquest was
empannelled by Trial Justice Williams, act
ing as Coroner, who rendered verdict in &C.
cordance with the above facts, which were de.
tailed by the companions of the deceased.

"THE BOYS IN GREY."-We were wont to
admire the boys who wore the grey, though it
was not for the grey alone, but for the noble,
chivalrous hearts that beat under it. They
commanded the admiration of the true and
brave in every land. But how few admire
fine head enveloped in grey hair and whis.
kers-very few. We all love admiration and
nothing in our appearance is more calculated
to secure it than pretty hair. If old age, sick
ness or sorrow has robbed you of it, you can
regain it by the use of DR.. TUFTS Hair Dye:
Its popularity is so great that it can be found
on the shelves of every druggist in the land.

LETTER FROM CHESTER.
CHESTER, November 20, 1875


On Tuesday scene occurred on Main street,
that may require passing notice. The prom
inent characters were Mr.. H. G. 3rawley, of
Carmel Hill, and Isaac Castles, colored, of
the same place, with Judge 7. j. Mackey in
the role of peace-maker. Castles, who had
rented land from Mr. Brawley, brought cotton
into town on the day in question with the view
of selling it without having satisfied his rent.
Brawley, who was also in town, obtained an
attachment upon the cotton, and proceeded to
levy upon the same, when the alteration be-
tween him and his tenant occurred. Judge
Mackey, happening to be near, interposed his
influence to bring about an adjustment of the
difficulty. At first he inclined to the side of
Castles on the supposition that he was sub
renter and not obliged to make any return to
Brawley. But when it was shown that he had
rented directly of Mr.. Brawley, the Judge
gave the cotton to the proper person-the
owner of the land. During the dispute the
Judge threatened both of the parties with i'm
prisonment for using language more forcible
than elegant in his presence. Still, he sue
ceeded by the power oftalk, in bringing about
a peaceful, if not satisfactory settlement Of
the difficulty.
Last week, difficulty occurred between
Robert Miles and Seward Nolin, both colored,
in which the former received stab in the alb.

Leaving out the question of the Louisiana
senatorship, the Democrats will be able to
cast total vote of 80. Add to this the four
doubtful Republicans above named and they
will have34. To this add three Independents,
Booth, Christiancy, and Cameron of Wiscon-
sin, and opposite to the undoubted Republican
element would number 81, or majority of
one. Although most of the senators put down
as doubtful or Independent Republicans more
frequently vote with the Republicans than
the Democrats, it will be seen at glance that
when they do the latter they will leave the
Republicans in the minority Such circum-
stance is likely to happen very seldom, but it
would have occurred last winter had direct
vote been taken in the Pnchback case.
