''Tis but short time ago since we chron-
icled the fact of the murder of Mr.. David
Askew, who was shot down in his own
dooryard without warning, his only crime
being that he was Il Union man and quiet
citizen On the night of the murder the
perpetrators Of the deed callod at the re
sidenee of q neighbor, called him cut, told
him what they had dono, saying, however
that it was the work of the detectives, and
gave him permission to bury the body, with
the provision that he would find it to his
interest to leave the town as soon as pos
siblc. Since that bloody night, when the
house of the mother, Mrs. Samuels, was
fired and that lady wounded, tho boys have
been especially vindictive to warn all Union
men living in the town, and have notified
fifteen of the more prominent citizens tC
leave. One gentleman, whose name VT

THE MISSISSIPPI ELECTION.

An election takes place in Mississ-
ippi next Tuesday, and former resi-
dent of the State, who occupies prom
insnt judicial position in Washington,
is reported to have said that bloody
events will transplre on that day, COM
pared with which old-fasEined outrages
will fall into insignifcance. Both
sides are arming, and both parties are
determined not to be cheated out of
the election. The Democrats are act
ing on the defensive; they say they do
not propose to intimidats colored
voters, but if the Ames party attempt
to run in voters from Arkansas, trouble
will begin. This Washington Judge is
undoubtedly Republican, as Demo-
Gratis do not wear the crime in that
latitude, yet he says that some of the
Ames candidates are Jail birds, and
that the campaign against them is one
with which every decent person should
sympathize. These ex-convicts are ex-
citing the colorsd voters by infamma-
tory speeches, in which they advise
them to wade up to their necks in
blood, if need be, rather than have
their rights trampled upon. The Judge
says the INSCRIPTIONS tactics of the
Ames party is certain to cause coils
ion, to prevent the Democrats, who
feel that they have majority, from
carrying the State. Ames, who il
Governor, and Bruce, who is United
States Senator, prefer that civil war
be inaugurated, rather than fair cleo
ton and defeat of their friends, as the
opposition have threatened to impeach
the Governor, and prosecute the Sena-
tor on an indictment found against
him some time since. This is not q
very beautiful picture to contemplate.
A corrupt Governor and criminal
United States Senator, melting their
partisans to wade to their necks in
blood, rather than permit fair
election, with the risk of being pun
ished for their infamies, in the event of

QUEER FAMILY HISTORIES.
Wives-The Fight over q Million
aires Will.

Nine women, witnesses in the John
l.. Brown will contest, have had each
three husbands. Of these twenty
men, majority were living at the sep
aration from the nine women, but are
now dead, while the triplex widowed
witnesses have all survived q half
century and are elderly women. The
testimony of the witness yesterday,
Mrs. J. A. Sargent, is an instance of
these complex and unwillingly revealed
domestic histories. Her first husband
died naturely. Next she was married
to Mr.. Cooper, secretly. There were
no witnesses. She lived with him a
week, and then he went to State Prison
and died there. The name of her third
husband she refused to disclose. She
lived with him in her brothers (John
L. Brown's) house few days, and
wished her brother to make him a
partner, which Mr.. Brown refused to
do. Julia Ann and this unknown bus
band left each other. living. AS Mrs.
Brown No. 2 in the course of the testi-
mony whispered to Algernon s. Suli-
van, the Witnessing sister, suspecting
the nature of the testator's widows
prompting, vivaciously gave the
unasked-for testimony. 81 could toll
as much about her, but wouldn't be
so meant
All these witnesses belong to the
families of John L. Brown, or his two
widows, widow No. 2 being once a sis
ter-in-law of widow No. 1. A Witness
ing nephew couldn't for the life of
him remember" the date of his mar
riage. John l.. Browns sisters are
allied with the first widow who sues
for the widows portion. AS the annul-
ing the wifeship of the second widow
would disinherit John L. Browns only
child, the son of Hannah, it would
give John Sen. g sisters the other
two thirds of the estate.
The contestants are therefore Mrs.
Sargent. Mrs. Masden, Mrs. Van Orden
and Mrs. Brown. The second Mrs.
Brown is proponent and legatee. This
contest and that of the George Harden
administration are the two most COM
plicated and constantly surprising of
all the domestic histories developed for
the last three years in the Surrogate's
Ceurt.-N. Y. Sun.
