On Saturday evening last William
COggins, young man living in the
10Th district of this county, aged about
Is years, in company with "a younger
brother, were out squirrel hunting,
and as they sauntered along, were dis
cussing the suicide of Edgeman, the
young man who shot himself last
week, when William got to speculat-
ing as to whether or not man could
or would shoot himself, and from
speculation he went to experimenting.
Placing the muzzle of the gun under
his chin, with his foot he felt around
the trigger, and soon demonstrated
how easy man could shoot himself.
The ball entered the head, and it is
presumed penetrated to the brain, as
he fell dead instantly. Standing by,
witnessing the experiment the
younger brother, after seeing its fatal
results, posted Off for assistance. The
body remained in the position it had
fallen until jury of inquest was held.

Editors Fighting About Mr.. Jefferson
Davis.

Major John n. Edwards, one of the
editors of the st. Louis Times, and
Col. Emory :. Foster, editor of the
ErenjHg Journal, of that city, fought
duel in Winnebago county, Ill, on
Saturday afternoon, one shot being
exchanged without effect. Major Ed
wards, who sent the challenge, de-
manded q second shot, but as under the
agreement to fight, a second shot could
not be had unless demanded by both
parties, and as Col. Foster considered
he had given all the satisfaction re-
quired of him, he declined to demand
another shot, and the matter was set
tied without further difficulty. The
affair grew out of an editorial in the
Times on the action of citizens of Win
nebago county in refusing to allow
Jefferson Davis to speak at their fair,
and rejOinder by Foster In the Journal
in which he cast very severe structures
upon the writer of the Times article.

The Mississippi Riot.
iFr IN an Occasional Correspondent of Tribunel
JACKSON, Miss, Sept 6, 1875.

lfr N an occasional correspondent Of 1rlDuheI
JACKSON, Miss, Sept. 6, 1873.
The people of this city for the past
thirty-siX hours have been greatly ex-
cited in consequence of IA riot at Clin-
ton, a small town on the Nicksburg
and Meridian Railroad, about S miles
from here. Republicans assembled in
grove a short distance from the town
for the purpose of holding a political
meeting. The assemblage was very
large for this country, there being not
less than 5000 persons present, most of
whom were colored. Just as the meet
ing was about to open, IA committee
from the Democrats of the district
came upon the ground and proposed
joint discussion. Although the meet
ing was avowedly "A Republican gath
ering. and there were no more than
POO Democrats present, the Republi-
cans agreed to the proposition, aud ar
Tangements were satisfactorily made.
Judge Amos r. Johnston, Democratic
candidate for the Senate, opened with
speech of one hour in length, which
was listened to respectfully. On the
part of the Republicans, Capt. II. t.
Fisher, editor of The Daily Times in
this city, was selected. he took the
stand and began his speech by cOn~
graduating the people on the auspi-
cious opening of the campaign in the
county. There were,n he said, I" as
sembled there Republicans, COnserva-
tives, and Democrats, and the best of
feeling prevailed among them. 1t was
i'm portant that the people should meet
in such assemblies to hear the political
questions of the day discussed, that
they might act iutellig, ntly at the
polls" He expressed tie nope that
the cOlored men would attend the
meetings az both paitle> bi.u hear what
the speakers had 10 LAY. iiy doing so,
he thought they would brcOme better
informed both ~ To their rights and
duties. He then congratulated Judge
Johns. o' The conservative and lib
eral tULe of his speech, and said it
would do much 10 promote good feel
ing between the parties, which at this
time is particularly desirable. The
speaker proceeded in this spirit about
10 minutes. when a disturbance arose
just beyond the outskirts of the crowd,
aud before it could be quelled "a pistol
shot was fired, and Immediately about
| thirty white men came from a willow
thicket near the speakers stand and
poured a deadly fire into the mass of
human beings. The colored people
| fled in every direction, only few
having arms. Those having arms rail-
| lied on the top of hill, and those who
had no arms cut sapings and a fierce
combat followed. 1t is impossible at
this moment to give the number of
killed and wounded. The Sheriff sent
out posse last night composed of
white men of both political parties.

Princely Salaries.

Probably some of our ambitious
American citizens, who either hold or
aspire to office, and make up their
modest official compensations 10y being
parties to Jobs and ring stealings, have
in their minds eye the salaries of the
different monarchs of Europe when
they are thus engaged. They doubt
less think their services are worth as
much as that of some of the useless
monarchs. The salaries which they
compare with, and thus breed dissatis-
faction within themselves, are given
as follows by a German statistician:
