Probable Length OF the Session OF the

A number Of Senators are of opinion that
the Pinehback question being again under
discussion, the session will continue two
weeks, although they en- see no propriety
in discussing matter so well understood,
but they suppose some Of the Senators may
desire toSexpress their views. The Hawaii

in less than two days, and all the nomina-

The CaucuseS.
Special to the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Both the Republican and the Democratic

African Emigration.

In the colored convention recently
held at Augusta, Georgia, one of the
leading delegates, Mr.. H. M. Turner,
advocated the emigration of the African
race to their native heath; on the
ground that they could get all "the
rights" they wanted there, and could
not get them here. The proposition did
not meet with very cordial approval, and
other speakers intimated that, though
che American fryiug-pan might be hot,
the African fire was considerably hotter,
Finally, the convention concluded to
postpone the emigration question until a
future occasion.
We can only say to our cOlored friends
that if they can find a country where
they are sure to be better treated, get
more and give less-emigration to that
happy locality is strictly in order. Let
them pack up and depart at once. But
if, as we shrewdly suspect, they are a
thousand times more agreeably situated
here than they could be any where else,
let them cease their everlasting grum-
bling and go to work like other people.
Their complaints have become an un.
endurable nuisance, and must be abated
else there will be an involuntary
emigration one Of these days.

FULTON, MISS,
Oct. 18th 1879

WV 1OthJ AO'O'
EDS CLARIoN-On Friday night,
October 9Th, "a negro named Sam. Wallace,
entered the house of Mr.. Thos. Thompson,
and finding Mrs. Thompson and her child
alone, dragged them out of the house, cut
the child's throat, outraged Mrs. Thomp-
son, abused her dreadfully otherwise, and
left her for dead. The negro was over
taken on Saturday, arrested and tried,
convicted and committed to jail The
baliffs and two others started with the
negro ojail, but on reaching the Tombig-
by River, q miles from Fulton, they
were met by an armed body of linen,
about thirty in number, who took
possession of the negro and hung him.
These are substantially the facts of the
case, as | am informed. Our hitherto
quiet county has never before been
shocked by the committal of so outrageous
crime but l desire it to be distinctly
understood that the negro was not a
resident of Itawamba county. We have
no such in our county, and | do not know
if colored man in the county who does
not deprecate the deed as much as the
the whites do. Sam. Wallace had recently
broke Jail in Corinth.

alleged occasional defalcations Of Demo.

Regime Of citizensrule in Mississippi
Of them moulding with age, and some Of
them occurring nearly fifty years ago.
We wonder if they expect by that argu.
ment to keep the darkies out Of the Dem.

citizens that it is wiser for them to en-.
dure the present wholesale plumber
by the Radical party Of two millions OF
dollars year, than to risk an occasional
defalcation of few thousand by an ex.
ceptional faithless agent under their wn
rule of intelligence aud economy. The
Radicals have stolen in a years rule in
the single county Of Warren, or Yazoo

defalcations put together under citizens
rule, from the first organization of the
State government down to the time the
carpet-baggers we're put in authority by

A Northern Republican View OF
the Situation i'm Mississippi.
N. Y. Tribune, llth.l

N. Y. Tribune, llth.l
All accounts agree in placing the re-
sponsibiity for the conflict of arms at
Friars Point, Mississippi, upon the color
ed Sheriff, Brown. 1t is further apparent,
from representations of leading Republic
cans as well as Democrats, that in this
case at least the contestants are arrayed
according to their color or partisan
sympathies. In the words of Senator
Aleorn, good men of all parties are
combined to prevent any outbreaks. y
Such combination seems unusually
desirable since the State Government, at
the head of which Gov. Ames, makes no
attempt to preserve the peace, and the
ringleaders of the riot are judicial officers
of the county which is the scene of the
disturbance. There is CLEAN of hope
for Mississippi in that influential men
OF both parties agree as never before that
the present State Administration is I'M
worthy of confidence or respect, and that
it ought to be radically changed. The
best change that could be made would
proceed from the defeat of the party
libelously labeled Republican at the State
election in November next.

FOURTH DISTRICT.
SINGLETON AND NILES.
SAILS, Oct. 9th, 1875.

SAILS, Oct. 9Th, 1910.
EDS CLARIoS-Thinking your readers
and friends of our cause might be pleased
TO hear somewhat concerning the first
encounter between the old war horse,
o. r. Singleton, and his present compel
itor, Hon. Jason Niles, which occurred
here yesterday, l will report briefly.
Col. Singleton might have said, after the
discussion yesterday evening, "veri, vtdi,
rici, for surely the Judge felt Yorsted,
and realized that he was carrying too
much dead weight, and labored under
that consciousness of the great wrong he
had sought to do his State and the South
by his votes for the Force Bill, and in the
State Convention of '68, together with
his inability to clear his skirts of the
odium attaching to his party, on account
of proAigate expenditure of public money
and enormous taxation, all of which were
held up by Col. S., in such bold and
glowing style that our sympathy began to
rise for the "prisoner at the bar" guilty
though we knew him to be of the fearful
charges.
Those who remember Col. Singleton,
his eloquence in days gone by when equal
foemen met, are forcibly reminded of
those spirited jurists which attracted al
ways the intelligence and beauty of the
land.
The effect of this first rencounter be-
tween the two candidates for Congress
must be most beneficial to our cause in
this section, in convincing the doubtful
and rousing up the lukewarm to proper
action. Several negroes listened to the
debate with marked attention, and after
wards expressed themselves satisfied that
Col. Singleton had told the truth.
Judge Niles was so hard pressed by
the overwhelming and unanswerable
charges of his opponent, that he was
driven to the pitiabIe plea of the bloody
shirt and Southern patent outrages, read
ing reports of such from Northern pa
pers; also charging the Democratic party
as being always and persistently revolu-
tionary in character a fomenter of
strifes, &C., and referring for proof to
the whisky rebellion in Pennsylvania, the
notification in South Carolina, DORIS
rebellion in Rhode Island, and, worst of
all, to the late rebellion. He very con-
veniently forgot the little secesh" con-
vention at Hartford during the war of
1812-thus reminding us that " those
who live in glass houses ought not to
throw stones" Judge Niles said one
thing very creditable to him and unusual
for one of his party, to-wit, that those
men who go through the country and tell
the negro that any party wishes to re-
mand them to slavery again, is either a
fool or has wicked object to accomplish.
| do not quote his words exactly, but
such was their exact import.
Col. Singleton is doing his duty faith
fully, and if any true man who desires
the restoration of peace, prosperity and
economy to our State and country will
do his part half as well, there will be no
doubt as to the result, and the Ides of
November will find our State in the
hands of honest and competent men.
Yours hopefully,

THREE MILES FROM EDWARDS, !
foGE


Oct. IL, 1875.
Editors Of The Carton
/ wish TO advise you Of the state Of
things in this Deighborhood. Since
Charles CaldwelPs successful trip with
his militia TO Edwards on last Saturday,
the negroes in this community are thor
oughly demoralized, and very many have
abandoned their crops and gone to Jack
son, and say they do not intend to gather
the crops, nor care whether they are
gathered or not. Aud we have hard
work to get the best Of them to do any
work. Unless something can be done,
the planting interest of this part Of the
county is entirely ruined. Cannot the
Governor be persuaded to Keep the mill
tia at Jackson or disband them? j feel
sure in saying, unless something is done
soon, there will be war very soon. There
are mischievous persons going amongst
the colored people and telling them that
the white people mean tokill them-men,
women and children. Intense excitement
exists among the negroes.
Yours, II. B. CoKER,
An Old Citizen,
Since the foregoing was written, the
agreement before mentioned between the
Governor and citizens has been entered
into and we trust that It will have the
effect of remedy ing the evil mentioned
by our correspondent. -EDIToRs.
