Raymond Gazette.l
The monument ordered by the Radical
Legislature for the grave of James Lynch,
Ga Pennsylvania negro who died some
time ago in Jackson and paid for from
the State Treasury of Mississippi. at a
time when the State was issuing bonds
and certificates of Indebtedness. and
when the property of the people was
taxed almost to confiscatIon, was placed
in position at Jackson few days ago.
Poindexter, Prentiss, Guion, Quitman,
Sharkey, and host of soldiers, states
men and patriots who shed lustre upon
the name of Mississippi, sleep in their
graves without monumental shafts but
Radicalism must give Lynch a monu-
mental column and from money wrung
from the people by a most Ubiquitous tax
alton.
We denounced the act referred to by
the Gazette, at the time it passed, as
barefaced, unmittigated robbery. The
State paid Lynch literally for his servi
ces CD while he lived, and then made al
appropriation for his family after his
death, for services not rendered. Super
added to this, was the erection of this
monument at public expense.

What They Charge.

The Washington Chronicle states that
what is contained in the subjoined ex.
tract will be the programme of the Dem
ocratic party if a majority of the country
should employ its organization for expelI-
ing the Radicals from power. 1t argues
| that the Southern Democrats will have
control of the national organization, and
will dictate its policy, and that its policy
will be-
1. To reconstruct the Supreme Court OF
the United States, so as to secure deci-
sion of the uneonstitutionality of the
last three amendments to the Constitu-
ton.
2. Sweeping these amendments away,
| then to rescind the reconstruction meas
| ures of the last ten years.
3. To secure the assumption of the
Confederate debt, by the National Gov
eminent.
4. To indemnify the South for the loss
of property in cotton and other materi-
ais, sustained by the war
5. To pension the rebel soldiers or.
until this is conceded, to stop the pen
SlOHS OI L mon SOluleTS.
The whole Southern Conservative and
Democratic press will bear us witness to
the utter falsity of this.
The South is pledged against the re-
vival of any of the issues settled by the
war.
No class of her people entertain the
remotest idea of entering upon wild
crusade for the repeal of the constitu
tional amendments, and as for the re-
construction acts, they are facts accom-
plished, and could not be disturbed even
if there were political Don Quixotes
among us who would attempt it, but
there are none.
Nobody talks about the assumption Of
the 90 Confederate debt by the National
Government, except such Radical lunatics
and knaves as the author of the forego-
ing.
Nobody thinks of procuring indemnity
for cotton or any other Southern losses
during the war, except the truly loval
for whom the Republican Congress itself
has made provision. So far from enlarg-
ing this policy, which was inaueurated
by the Radicals themselves, there will be
a strong disposition among the Democ-
racy to repeal all existing laws for the
settlement of these so-called "claims,
and thus to relieve the National Govern
ment of the trouble and burden which
they are causing, and to place all classes
IF sufferers in the South on an equal
iooting.

Hear This.

Governor Ames told Attorney-G General
Harris that 'Fthe blood of twenty-five OF
"thirty niggers would be of benefit tc
''the Republican party"-and acting on
this idea he precipitated a crowd of col
ored dupes, armed as he had directed,
on the citizens of Vicksburg, who, as q
measure of selfprOtection, drove them
back with slaughter 1t would seem
from what Hon. Rev. Brig. Gen. Grey
(colored), of Washington county, Sena-
tor, and aspirant for the Sheriffalty OF
the county, says, he is not satisfied with
the bloody experiment at Vicksburg OF
Offering up colored lives 'for the good OF
the party" In recent harangue at
Eggs Point, by this Rev. General Grey
General by appointment of Ames under
the Gatlin Gun Bid, he is represented
to have announced that Games would
''send him a thousand stand of arms,
''and, if necessary to his election, his
militia would kill everything with a
"white skin in the county"
This amounts to a warning to the
''white skins" to keep their own powder
dry, and also close watch on the Rev.
Brigadier himself. He is dangerous.

6. WILEY WELLS, VERSION.

e. Wiley Wells has made a publica-
ton in the Holly Springs Tribune, giving
the following version of Ames' remark
that " the killing of twenty-five or thirty
negroes would be good for the Repub-
{" lican party" 1t is substantially as
first reported. We will add that the
Pilot, which is understood to speak tor
Gov. Ames, does not deny the statement,
only it says he did not make the remark
60 in The sense represented -:
again criticised Gov. Ames at a time
when | received letter from a Republi-
can friend, wherein it was stated that at
the time Sheriff Crosby had been driven
from Vicksburg, he called upon Gov.
Ames for advice in the premises. The
letter stated that Governor Ames advised
him Crosby to return and summon the
colored people Of the country, march
upon Vicksburg and take forcible posses
sion of his office that Acknowledgement
Geo. Z. Harris, who was present, pro-
tested against this method, and advised
an appeal to the courts, instead Of using
force, as he (Harris) believed the course
that he (Ames) advised, would lead to
bloodshed that soon after Crosby left,
Governor Ames said in the presence OF
those who remained, that the killing OF
twenty-five or thirty negroes would be a
good thing, or a good thing for the Re
publican party. / said at the time re.
ceiS ed the letter, and say now, that il
Governor Ames was guilty of using this
language, as charged in this letter, that
| condemned him and believed that il
was infamous that the party who made
this statement contained in the letter,
said that he was present and heard It,
and that knew him to be a gentleman
of character and credibility, and d
staunch Republican that whilst l did
not vouch for the truth of this statement

conference.

publican friends, and condemned the
language said to have been used at thai
conference by Gov. Ames, to be infa

FACTS FOR THE CANVASS.
How the COIOred Members Drew
the Color Lilac i'm 1he Last Reg
uIar Session OF the Legislature.

In the last issue we reproduced the
great race battles in the Legislature of
1875, upon questions of vital importance
to the taxpayers, upon which the white
members las a class were arrayed upon
the side of honesty and retrenchment, and
the negro members AS a class were as
solidly combined against the taxpayers.
We now continue the exhibit and show
by the record, the beginning of the draw
ing of this color line. 1t will be seen
that in most of these votes that one or
more white men pandered to the preju-
dices of the negroes, and bent the pregnant
hinges of the knee to the black line lash.
1t will be found that the great body of the
negroes voted always against any propo
/ sition looking towards relief to the over
/ burdened people, and that any PROPOSE
ton, matters not how vile, always re
ceived the warmest support Of the negr
/ leaders
In the Senate records it will be seen tina
some times a negro or two broke over tn
color line, but as it always happened
they were different ones, it gives tn
records the appearance, at least, of pre-
arrangement. That first one then anothe
had been secretly detailed, as it were, t.
vote with the whites to prevent the ap
pear NICE of color line vote
ent and the few negro members VIII
broke over the color line were generall
the same, and therefore we infer tina
they were actuated by honest motive
and will hereafter give them credit b
name for their good intentions.

Mr.. CESAR G.. ANTOINE, the coIOred
Northumberland of Louisiana, is a
statesman after the Administrations own
heart. He told a reporter of the Calves.
ton News recently that the colored people
of Louisiana, including, of course, him
self, and of the whole South. would be
content with Gen. Grant to have six
terms if he wanted them, though he was
afraid the North was not inclined "to
look at the matter in that light" The
indications are numerous that the suspic-
ions Of Antoine, otherwise Tony, are
correct. The Republicans of that section
have got enough of Grant.

THE FEsA'TERNEZA OF
THE SECTIONS.


The Agricultural Society of Whine
bago county, Illinois, has performed &
liberal and magnanimous act in inviting
| Hon. Jefferson Davis to deliver the an
nual address at their Annual Fair, a
Rockford, on the 18th of September. Il
! is token of genuine good feeling, which
will go further than anything that has
yet been done in touching the sensibilitie:
of the Southern people and burying the
sectional Ratchet out of sight and out OF
mind, so far as they are concerned.
Winnebago county is one of the
wealthiest and most advanced agricul-
tural counties in Illinois, and it is in a
region noted for its intelligence and pros
perty.
The courtesy to Mr.. Davis is the
more significant from the fact that Win
nebago county is overwhelmingly Repub-
lican. Four out of every five voters in
the county are Republicans 1t is the
banner county of the Republican party !;
and during the war it sent larger num-
Der of troops than any rural county in
the State.
We are gratifed that Mr.. Davis has
accepted the invitation in the spirit in
which it has been extended; and we are
sure that his address will stimulate into
renewed activity the reviving spirit of
determination between the sections. In
The meantime the Southern people will
have no occasion to regret the hOspitali-
lies which they literally showered upon
Vice President Wilson in his recent visit
10 this section.
We give below Mr.. Davis letter of
acceptance
MEMPHIS. Tenn, August >, 1875.
To II. p kimball, Secretary:
MY DEAR SIR-Yours of the first in
slant has been received, and | have the
honor to accept the invitation to address
the Patrons of the Industrial Association
Of Winnebago county at their meeting
N September next, and, unless prevented
nv some unforeseen cause, will be with
ysu on the fourteenth proximo, the COM
mencement day of your exposition.
Your previous letter on the subject would
have been promptly replied to but for
the necessity which existed then and |
until several days past as to the proba-
bTity of arranging some business matters
80 as to permit of my absence at the
tine specified. l have long desired to
revisit your country and see the wonder
full development which has been made
,ipce [ left it, as then it was wilderness
occupied by savages. The courteous in
zitation is thereupOn doubly welcome.
With cordial thanks to yourself and as
ociates, / am, respectfully and truly
ours. JEFFERSON DAVIS.

TERRIBLE CRIME.
FOUL ATTEMPT AT RAVISHMENT.
MURDER
THE FIEND HUNG.

Durant Advertiser.l
One Ofthe most revolving double crimes
known to the calendar was attempted
upon the person of Mrs. Fannie Pritchard,
wife Of Willis Pritchard, about eight
miles northwest of here, on Sunday, the
9Th instant. 1t appears that the husband
went to church at Saron, on that day,
and when he returned home at about one
o'clock p. M, found his wife lying in the
door yard, weltering in her own gore,
her throat having been cut, and stabs
having been inflicted upon her breast,
stomach and back Of her shoulders, while
both hands were badly lacerated.
The neighbOrs were notified and medi.
cal aid summoned, when it was found out
that, although dangerously wounded,
Mrs. Pritchard's injuries were not neces-
sarily fatal. Drs. 5. w. and j. ID. Red
dressed the wounds, and gave such other
attention to the suffering lady as the nature
of the case required, and her friends have
hopes other recovery.
Her version of the affair, as we hear it
from parties who have heard her detail
it, is about as follows:
Shortly after her husband left the
place that morning, say about / l o'clock,
a young married man named Frank
knight, who resided at no great distance
away, came into the house and took a seat
while Mrs. Z. went about her household
affairs. After remaining there some
considerable time--long enough to have
his style Of dress photographed, as it
were, upon her memory--he made indel-
icate proposals. to her, and upon being
refused threatened to kill her. In fur
therance Of his hienOus designs, he threw
his arms around her, and then life-and-
death struggle began. That the lady re-
sisted almost superhumanly is evidenced
by the severity of the wounds, and the
fact that the fiend fled without accomplish
ing his intention TO violate her person, al
though he left her for dead
The neighbors arrested Knight and
placed him in the calaboose at this place.
X X
As we were coming along with our family
at about 8 o'clock, we saw the body Of
the misguided man suspended from a
limo of tree by the roadside. about
three miles west Of Durant, with the hand
cuffs we saw on him in the calaboose
yesterday, still upon his wrists, while the
siue vi VI his race anu neck presented, as
we passed, bloated, dirty-yellowish ap.
pearance which indicated that life had
been extinct for several hours. We have
seen dead men, who have been killed in
various ways, but this was the most re-
voting spectacle that we ever beheld, and |
we hope we may never have to look upon
another such; but if mob law is ever
Iustitiable, we presume there are but few
people who will greatly deplore the man
ner of this mans taking-off
