The weekly clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1863-1882, 1875-09-29

The Democrats and Conservatives of
Warren are fortunate in their selection Of
a Legislative ticket Thos G. Catchings,
ESQ, the nominee for Senator, is young
lawyer of rare promise and talent, and
has distinguished himself as a man of
craftsmanship and wisdom beyond his
years, ever since the reconstruction era,
by the prudence and moderation of his
counsels. He will be shining light in
the Senate.
Among the nominees for the House, we
are more than pleased to see the name OF
our stauch Democratic friend, F. 4.
Turley, one of the old guard, who has
been nominated by vote as creditable
to his constituents as it is complimentary
to him. The whole ticket, Legislative
and County, is good one, and Kinds
sends greetings to Warren, that she in
tends to meet her in the persons of her true
and real representatives in the State;
councils at the next regular session.

Our confrere, F. T. Cooper, Esq, of
the Meridian Gazette, by special invita-
ton, delivered an address to his old
neighbors and friends at Brookhaven last
week. The address was able, and as
may be well imagined, afforded much
qualification to his audience. He stated
frankly the motives which induced his
temporary connection with the Repubii-
can party, which, to say the least, were
plausible, and gave very conclusive and
overwhelming reasons why neither he
nor any other patriotic citizen could act
with party controlled by Ames and his
| followers.
Gen. Robert Lowry, received warm
reception, and delivered a powerful adj
dress on the issues of the day, at Meridi-
an ON the 25th. His speech is sketched
in the Mercury and We will endeavor to
make room for it in our columns.
Gen. Featherston, Col. Lamar and
Maj. Chalmers are to attend mass meet
ing at Buena Vista, Chickasaw county,
and the first two are engaged for other
points in the county.
A grand mass meeting will be held al
Cato, Rankin county, on the Both inst,
and ON the same day another is to be held
at Denson's store, Lawrence county.
Next Saturday, the End, mass meet
ing, barbecue, torchlight procession, ETC.,
are the order of the day for Beauregard
Copiah county, and Gen. George anc
others have been engaged for the occa
sion.
On the 18th mass meeting will b.
held at Fannin, Rankin county, and an
other at Stems Creek about the Goth.

RumOr Ghaf Hill Is to be taken
Down.

1t is rumored that Jim Hill, will BIS
induced to follow the example of Warner
and quit the race for Congress in this
District. Jim is strictly color-line can
didate. He was nominated over Brown,
Mckee and Shaughnessy, not because
he was the equal of either in qualifca-
ton but because he is darkey and the
colOreds having a majority in the Con-
vention, were determined to put him
through. From that day to this, the
shrewd white Radicals have seen and
acknowledged his defeat. There is not
one of them that is not disguised or
will raise a voice in his behalf Isn't
the business of the darkey to take the
carpet-bagger on his shoulder and carry
him into office? Why does Hill and his
clan presume to reverse the established
order? That's what they are thinking
and acting upon the thought, they are
leaving him to paddle his own canoe
which is already on the breakers. But a
change Of front will not save them
When Hills head is taken off the ne
groes who stand as a thousand to one
carpet-bagger in the Radical party, will
resent his treatment as an affront and
will turn over the man who takes his
place to the inevitable defeat that will
await him.

Warner having maneuvered Niles out
of the nomination finds that he can't stand
fire, and retires in disgust, leaving Hon.
o. r. Singleton, the peoples candidate,
master of the situation. He losses the
nomination to Niles as a garment that is
worn out, or doesn't fit, and leaves that
self-sacri6cing man to pick it up or leave
it alone, just as he may think proper
Niles retired sullenly to pout in corner
after the drubbing Warner gave him in
the Radical Convention, but he seems to
have been put in a good humor by the
bestowal of the nomination which
Warner threw away. At all events, the
withdrawal of the latter is a confession
of the defeat of his party, and the result
will be the same no matter who enters
! the race

Murder and Lynching I'm YazOO
No Whites Engaged in it

We learn from W. S. Epperson, Esq,
of Yazoo City, the particulars of a MUIR
der and lynching affair near that city.
A prominent colored citizen, Joe White,
had rendered himself Objectionable to a
Radical association by refusing to join
it. The negroes composing the associa-
ton determined, by formal vote, that
he should be murdered A negro named
Albert A augustus was detailed to execute
the decree of the club. While waylay-
ing the house of White on the night of
the 23rd, he shot the wife of the latter,
on the supposition that she was the in
tended victim. The murderer fled to
the woods, and was pursued and caught
by legally constituted posse. While
conveying him to Yazoo City for trial
the posse was met by crowd of coIored
men (the husband of the murdered wo-
man among the resD, who insisted on
taking charge of the prisoner. Nothing
more was seen of him until his body was
found hanging from the limb of tree,
where it remains to this hour, for aught
we know. All the parties concerned in
| the affair were colored.

LATELY we hear much said by Demo-
Gratis about carrying Kinds county for
their ticket. The Republicans have a regis
tered majority of at least two thousand.
Now we ask them by what sort of means
they expect to overcome this majority
How Can two thousand Democrats be
expected to out vote four thousand Re
publicans Is the intimidation and ter
rorism of the past ten days to be confined
and used as the sole Democratic argument
to carry The etectiom9 And is party that
depends on such agencies to achieve its
triumph, to be regarded by the country
as "'the colored mans best friend" and
honestly pledged, as it pretends to be, to
protect him in the enjoyment of all the
rights of citizenship?
We clip the above from a late number
of the Times.
In the first place, We deny @ that the
Radicals have majority of 1000 votes
i'll Kinds" Let the Times wait time
and see the new registration now being
taken, and it will be seen that the old
registration is very much changed in favor
of the Democratic-C Conservative party
Some two or three hundred white voters
in Kinds have not registered or voted
since the war ended. They will all regis
ter now, and vote next November Sec
ondly, does the Times consider that the
former Radical majority in Kinds must
remain always unchanged? Is the editor
of that journal not aware of the fact that
in Kinds county hundreds of honest col
ored men have abandoned Radicalism,
since the last election, and have come
out openly for the Democratic-C onserva-
tive party? The truth is, colored men
in Kinds are weary of carpet-bag rule
They are disguised and sick with the foul
party which has used them for their own
dishonest and corrupt purposes, and have
resolved to unite with their Southern
friends, this fall, in securing a govern
ment composed of honest and efficient
men. With the united votes of white
and cOlored men. the county of Kinds
will roll up majority for the reform
ticket in November next. That is how
we shall beat your party, and you will
see it, when the votes are counted. Col
ored men have began to think and act
for themselves. Their eyes are open
now, and they see how they have been
misled, deceived and almost ruined by
their Yankee friends. The hook you
had in their noses is broken, and our
men of color can no longer be led By
the ''cute carpet-baggers.

Meeting of the Con-

mifGee.

A meeting of the State Committee
was held in this city on the oath inst.
The following members were present,
besides Gen. George, the Chairman, be-
ing all who could be notified by tele-
graph, viz Messrs. Walthall, Chalmers,
Chrisman, Campbell, Binford, Sykes,
Street and Young They brought the
most encouraging accounts of the can
vass from all parts of the State. The
session of the Committee was entirely
harmonious, and steps were taken &c
prosecute the canvass with the utmost

The Ohio campaign seems to be a
mixed up affair. The currency plank OF
the Democratic platform has enraged the
bond holding Democratic gentry, and
they are uniting with the Radicals of that
class and pouring merciless fire into it,
with the New York World at their head.
A considerable number of the Liberals
have been disaffected in the same way,
with the n. Y. Tribune at their head.
Its course is dictated by the money-ring
which owns it-Jay Gould being one OF
the largest stockholders. The anthem
perance men don't like the nomination
of Gen. Cary, who is a teetotaller, fol
that these defections will be made up by
the prestige of Gov. Allen and the popu-
larity of the currency plank with the
laboring masses of both parties who can
see no objection to making g the volume
of currency equal to the wants OF
g trade" and paying the bondholder in
the same currency that other creditors OF
the government receive.
What effect .the Native American OF
Know-Nothing feature of the Radical
platform will have, remains to be seen.
But we rather think it will have ten
dency to keep the Democrats united. 1t
is an old enemy they were accustomed to
fight in former days, under the leader
ship of their present candidate for Gov
ernor.
The Democrats, in consideration OF
the certainty of carrying New Y Ork, In
diana, Connecticut, and all the late slave
States, but two, can afford to lose Ohio
without seriously imperiling their pros
poets for the Presidency. If the Radi-
Gals lose it the bottom will fall out of

False.

A statement is going the rounds of the
Radical press to the effect that Gen.
Gordon, in his Grenada speech, declared
that ''this election must be carried, even
though blood be she'd" and that Major
Chalmers made use of similar language
on the occasion. The writer of this
happened to be present, and heard every
word uttered by both gentlemen. Neither
made use of any such language, or uttered
any sentiment that could be so construed.
The only reference to blood, was made
bv Gen. Z. G. Walthall, who declared
that ''colored people ,uho desire to cote ON
ticket, aciH be protected IN their right to do so,
If 1t takes the blood Of achite men to do 1t. ,
And that sentiment we most heartily ell.

HORACE, correspondent who writes
for the Cincinnati Commercial (Republi-
CAM from Vicksburg, thus lets out his
party's secrets:
Mr.. Pease gives the State up to the
Democrats, and so do most of the promi-
nent Republicans. They think that if
things were bolstered up by aid of the
military, it might possibly result in vic
tory for the Republicans in Mississippi,
but would lose them the Presidential
election. Many of them think they
might recover from the defeat sustained
in this State this year, If the next Presi-
Dental election should go with them, but
on the other hand, if the State admins
tration ever passes out of their hands,
after calling upon the military to enable
them to retain it, there is scarcely doubt
that it would be gone forever.

The Clinton RiotI
THE TRUE STATEMENT

We are at last enabled to publish
true and corrected statement of the Gin |
ton riot. Messrs. E. W. Cabiness, s.
NJ. Shelton and Frank Johnston deserve
credit for their impartial and laborious
investigation of the affair. The worst
suspicious are realized. The blood cur
dies in reading the story, and we wonder
if this prem editated massacre and horri-
bic butcAery of unofending, peaceable
white citizens occurred here in civilized,
christian community, in the nineteenth
century.
The testimony is conclusive that the
few whites on the ground were fallen
upon by generalization by butchering
mob of negroes thirsting for their blood,
and murdered in manner as disgrace
full as is described in the worst annals of
savage warfare.
| The testimony is not confined to either
race nor to either party but comes
from white and colored, Democrats and
Republicans. II shows that there could
have been no concert nor generalization
of disturbance of the peace by the whites
who in proportion to the negroes were as
one to a hundred. That the negroes
forced the difficulty without even a pre-
text for it and massed themselves in
overwhelming numbers against single
and unarmed whites, pursuing them,
shooting, stabbing, and Draining them,
and robbing, and horribly mangling the
dead.
No one can read this testimony which
is given under oath by persons whose
veracity will not be questioned, and gain
say the conclusion that it was deliberate
and premeditated massacre on the par
of leading negroes who rallied their clan,
at given signal to do the murderou;
work. The names of those ringleader!
are given in the testimony, and they are
known.
1t may be true that the excitement re
sulting from this savage butchery did no
abate until some small measure of retrI
button was visited upon the evil-doers
and that even innocent persons may have
suffered in the wild storm of fury which
it naturally turned loose, but who car
wonder at it? Was not Martin Sivley
pursued like a wild beast by gang o.
blood-hounds andinhumanly slaughtered
Was not Frank Thompson followed anC
shot down like a mad dog hundreds o.
yards away, and his dead body brutally
mangled? Wasn't poor Charley Chiltor
shot to death in his own yard in the pres
: ence of his wife, when he was affordine
succor to frightened women and children
of the very race who murdered him
The wonder is, not that retribution die
not follow, but that reason has so soor
} obtained control of the wrath which exc
cuted vengeance.
But let an impartial public read anc
judge the facts.
