READ the rattling speech of A. C.
BUELL. of the St. Louis Republican. 1t
will be found in this paper and is rich
and racy. Mr.. BUELL. was arrested un-
der the Poland Gag Law on a charge of
libel preferred by U. S, Senator Zack
Chandler. In fact the law was got up
to catch BUELL. and DANA of the New
York SNH. Tyrants do not like free
speech nor free Press. Arbitrary ar
rests and forcible suppression of free
speech and publication are nothing new
in the world. Charles the X of France
attempted to suppress a newspaper of
Paris in 1880 and in few days he had
to fly the kingdom. Corruption and
tyranny are the same everywhere and in
all ages.

A. X. HAINES.

Democratic candidate for the State
Senate in this district was in our town
yesterday making calls and getting 'ac-
quainted.
MR. HAINEs is not politician in the
ordinary meaning of the term, and We
trust is none the worse on that account.
He is noted for being man of energy
prompt and reliable in all business and
personal matters. For years he has been
engaged in farming, and for some fifteen
years prior to that, sold goods in NAL
vern. He has lived his life in the Sandy
valley near the line of Carroll and Stark
counties and hence has common inter-
est and acquaintance in both.
Mr.. Haines's farm is one of the finest
in the valley and lie lives at home, in
plain sight of Oneida station and also of
Malvern and few miles below Minerva
In 1867 he was our candidate for the
Senate and was only defeated by 20 votes.
We urge the election of Mr.. Haines
upon his merits, as citizen, correct
business man, having common interest
with all good citizens in rescuing our
country from its present disastrous con.
dition. Let our friends see that Mr..
Haines is fully and fairly voted for on
election day.

Damage.

Iesterdsy morning during the display
OF the fire department a twenty-inch
pipe O' the waterworks company, near
ute reservoir, gave way, mush to the
surprise, as well as regret, of the officers
and citizens generally. Owing to this
accident the supply Of water is for the
present Gu. Of, much to the incOnve-
nience Of al classes Of people. How
ever great this inconvenience, the acci-
dent is one that could not have been
forsssen. No machinery is perfect, and
like individuals, is liable to accident
The accident, Of c0urse, cut off the
wsteriIstaGtly, consequently more than
two hundred people visited the COM
Ia1y's oliice, corner Of SecOId and Wet
CoJrt streets, during the afternoon to
inform the efficient secretary, MT.
Cameron, that their water was cut off,
AMI requested him 10 have it turned on.
Although il wss serious inconvenience
which LO one dsplOred more than Mr.
Cameron, this gentleman could not re-
press g smile when so many people
made the same complaint. When in
formed IS To ths cause The crowd pre-
sented q very dry appearance, for no one
expected such q serious cause had with
held the water. Tae officers Of the
company have placed twenty men at
work 20 repair the damage, and will
have supply Of water at the earliest
possible moment The wOrkmen are
engaged night and day, and everything
possible is being done to replace the
M aiu. In the meantime our citizens
must be patient, for water will soon be
supplied as heretofore.

n. Edwards, one Of the editors of the
st. Louis Times, and Colonel Emory S.
Foster, editor Of the EUenipg Journal,
left here last night for WinneD2go c0un-
ty, Illinois, to fight duel. The 8ffair
has been kept very private, no one
outside OF the parties directly interested
knowing anything about it until this
afternoon, when it got OF the street ard
became the subject Of much comment.
Dispatches announcing the result have
been mOmeutaTily expected since two
O'Clock, but at this writing, six o'clock,
nothing has been received, and it is COZ
jectur6d something unlocked for has
occurred to prevent the meeting. Major
Edwards was accompanied by Colonel
II. B. Branch, and Colonel Foster by
Mr.. D. w. Barnard, as seconds, and
perhaps by other parties The affair
grew out OF an editorial in the Times of
August oath, on the action of the citi-
zens OF Winnebago county in refusing
TO allow JEFF Davis to speak at their
fair, and Ttjoinder by Foster in the
Journal the next day, in which he cast
very severe structures upon the writer OF
the ITHeS'S article. The point at which
the duel was to be fought is not known
here, as that was left to be selected by
the secord5 after entering Winnebsgo
county.
A dispatch to the Times, from MEM
Der OF the Edwards party, says the duel
took place at five o'clock this afternoon
AZ point five miles north of Rockford,
in Winnebago county, and one shot was
exchanged without IF CT, both parties
firing too high, u making line sho's.
Colonel Ed wards demanded a second
shot, but, 81 under the agreement to fight

II WILL be seen by the telegrsphic

the story Of Radical infamy

cursed by the presence Of Ames and his
host oi carpetbsggers. In addition to
this news, we learn from the Vicksburg

Special 10 the Appeal

Special to the Appeal
GRENADA, Septembe / Every store
in Grenada was closed this morning at
ten O'Clock. Between fifteen hundred
and two thousand people, white and
black, assembled at the square to hear
Hon. l.. Q. G. Lamar aud General John
B. Gordon address the Democratic voters
CT this county. The speakers were met
at the depot by a large delegation of
citizens, headed by a brass band, and
General + C. WsIthall and Captain
BSrksdale, who BID them a hearty wei
come Oh behalf of the citizens. General
GJTdOn was the first speaker, and sd-
dressed the audience in an eloquent and
forcible speech for two and q hail hours.
During Gordon's spec CD, d carpet bag
ger attempted to draw lhe cOIored peO-
pie away from the speaking, by beating
a drum, hut they treated his summons
with contempt. He was notified to stop
his interference or suffer the consequent
ces. Colonel L mar, not feeling very
well, made 3 short speech and pointed
one, exposing the YiIlanies of Ames and
others Of his kind. Colonel Lamar was
folio wed by Major H. II. Chalmers, in
splendid effort and urgent and able appeal
to the negroes to unite with the
whites i'll putting good men in Of
flee, and establishing good government.
Captain Barksdale, Captain J. T Fant,
and General Walthal also made brief
remrks appropriate 10 the occasion.
There has not been such day in Gre
NADIA for long time, everything being
quiet and orderly. After the speaking
was over Democratic club was formed
by the voters, who so desired, and the
colored people were invited to join;
many signed the list, they saying that
they would not follow the dictatiOns of
the carpet-bagge-s any longer. HuTah
for Grenada! No cOlOr-Iine! Every
body here opposed it. No nominations
until the regular convention.
