BATEsvILLE, October 26.-One of the
largest demonstrations ever witnessed in
Pamela county took place here to-day.
There were fifteen hundred cavalry in
the line, and over twenty-five hundred on
foot, with fully six thousand people in
and out of the procession, and not room
enough to maneuver the immense gath
ering. There was magnificent display
of transparencies, pyrOtechnics and
torches tonight. Every street leading
into this place is denselY packed. Some
forty different clubs are in the line.
There is an immense gathering here of
the colored people, who are taking a
conspicuous part in the display. All the
public and private houses are beautifully
and tastefully illuminated. The rapid
change of the colored people, who have
so long been wearing the collar of Howe,
Ozanne & Co., to the side of honesty,
truth and justice, is so marked that the
Conservatives will carry this county by
at least one thousand majority. Every
day the Radical ticket is losing ground.
General Walthall addressed the crowd
from a platform car on the railroad,
beautifully decorated. His words were
full Of stirring reproofs of Radical mis-
rule and corruption. He was followed
by J. G. Hall, Captain r. H. Taylor and
Captain Vance, marked attention being
given by the immense crowd. The Old
Memphis brass band is present. Two
24-pounder howitzers are sending forth
music which carries US back to war times.
Ozanne has proposed to the Conservatives
that if they will unite on him he will go
back on Bill Howe and the whole Radical
layout, or if they will give him one
thousand dollars he will withdraw from
the canvass. Both propositions were
hurled back at him with contempt.
This display here tonight closes the
bloody chasm in Pamela, and buries out
of sight forever Radical misrule in this
county. The people are no longer beg
ging accessions to their ranks from the
colored people, for they have everything
their own way. Bill Howe to took the
woods last Saturday, and has not been
seen since. His card in the Appeal,
last Saturday morning, was such lie
that he feared trouble if he remained,
though the people intend to do him no
harm, but his guilty conscience would
not let him stay. Ozanne, who run to
Memphis to escape the wrath of the editor
of the Star, returned last night by
telegram stating that no bodily harm
should be done him. Davis, the manip-
ulator of the registration books, has not
been seen for four days, he, too, is in the
woods somewhere. The people are de-
termined not to allow any riotous or dis
orderly conduct toward any person, and
are showing:.a wonderful degree of for
bearance. Col. Wells, a candidate for
Congress, spoke at Sardis to-day. He
was well received by both white and
colored. The circus lemonade pedlar,
who now represents this district in Con-
gress, was badly used up by Wells. The
enthusiasm of the people here never was
equaled in their determination to be free.
They care nothing for parties, but want
only honest officers.
