AUGUSTA, Oct. S--A colored con-
veniion is in session here, having been
called for the purpose OF refn,iug the
charge that the negroes intended an in
surrection, aud to determine the best
course for the colored race 20 pursue
The resolutions attack the Governor
for his conduct towards the colorcd
people, and express gratitude to
Judge II V. johnson lot the fairness
and impartiaIity shown by him in the
trial of the Washington county priso-
ners. They condemn lawl.ssness and
advocate the cultivation OF amicabls
relations between the two races Some
advocate emigration to Africa, but the
majority favor remaining in the Ststes
as tho rights of the colored race were
now becoming respected.
Resolutions were adopted 10 the ef.
feet that there were no foundation for
the instruction reports; that they
were gotten up by the Bourbon De-
mocracy for political effect.
1t was stated in the addresses made
that tho negroes are not given their
right; that the Kuklux are rampant in
Georgia; that colored men are not al
lowed to sit on the iuries and do no,
receive the protection OF the courts.

waiting for n Cave.

Three or four days ago, within two
or three miles of this city, a Washing.
ton street merchant, who had some
business In the country, came to a
small creek, beside which native was
washing his shirt. The man was
sousing the garment up and down and
around, and as he "soused" he whistled
a merry tune.
"Do you have to wash your own
shirt I" inquired the merchant, as he
halted.
"Not a;lus, but old Bet has got one
O. her fits on jest now," was the ready
reply.
Then you don't agree very well p
"Purty well on the general thing.
Bets kind o. mulish, and Pm kind o.
mulish, and when we get our backs up
We crawl off to see who'll cave first

"Why don't you get II, them"
"That would DO caving to Bet,
stranger. She's squatted on the only
bit Of bar sosp tween here and Vicks-
burg, and she's jest aching for me to
slide up and ask her for it."
Sand you WON'T"
"Stranger," replied the native, as he
Strengthened up, "don't look like .
TELLER that would wear a shirt three
months afore I'd cave in and hollcr for
soap?"
Tho merchant sided with him, and
as he drove on, the man soused tho
shirt up and down and whistled:
I'm Rwine up the river
& Hear me boiler.

MEMPIIs, Oct. 9.-The latest re-
ports from Friar's Point report no
more fighting, but everything is un-
settled and agricultural interests are
paralyzcd.
The negroes there threaten to hang
Brown. the sheriff. and Smith, their
candidate for chancerv clerk. if they
return. for having caused the disturb
ance. Brown was still at Helena at
last accounts. and Smith is here.
Reports from other parts of The
State show great Generalization
among laborcrs and great damage to
a large portion ofthe cotton crop for
want OF hands to pick il.
A special TO the Appeal, from Oak
land. Miss, saysa difficulty occurred
1T Charleston, in Tallahatchie county
last evening, between Blackwell, a
colored man. and the sheriff and 9TH

The largest vote ever cast In Ohio
for Governor was in 1867, eight years
ago, the aggregate of which was 4S4,-
227, and dividing as follows:
r. B. Hayes, 243,G05; A. G. Thur
man, e40.622. In the last Presidential
election 529,49s votes were cast. 1t is
thought that 100000 votes, at least. will
be out next Tuesday. We should not
be surprised if there was $4,000.
In 1869, the voting stood: r. b.
Hayes, 235,0sl ; G. II. Pendleton, 227,-
$50; S. Scott, 679-aggregatc, 463,340.
In 1871, thus: E. F. Noyes, 23s,273
G. W. McCook, 21s, BIOS; G. T. Stow
art, 4.os4-aggregate, 460,4e2.
In 1873, as follows: W. Allen, 2l4,
| 654; f. F. Moves, 2l3 ss7 /; g. T. Stew
art, 10 27s; J. C Collins, 1O,1C9-aggrc-
gate 44S,S7S.
Allen was elected by smaller vote
than Thurman, Pendlcton or McCook,
received, each being handsomely
beaten.
The highest Republican vote ever
polled in tho State, except that OF
Brough's, was by General Grant In
1872, and came up to 2Sl, 252; and the
highest Democratic vote, l,7S0
polled by Wiley on the State ticket
the same year. which was 7,459 in ad.

A Texas Red Hug,

A Sherman man who was out in the
country buying grain stopped at night
at q dilapidated farmhouse. After a
fierce contest with the bugs and
mosquitoes, he had fallen asleep. He
slept about an hour when he was
rudely awakened. The old farmer
was standing over him with cooked
revolver, one of the farmers stalwart
sons had him by the heels and was in
tho act of jerking him out of bed,
while the hired man was tossing the
the pillows around with three-t tined
pitchfork.
"What have donor" no hoarsely
asked.
"Keep cool, stranger" replied the
farmer, "somc of the boys thought
they heard Dennison bed-bug chaw-
ing up the shuck mattress, but guess
it must have been wolves ont in the
timber they heard; You can 60 to sleep
again."
But somehow or other he could not

a SISTERS DEVOTION
A Young Lady Having Her
Scalp Torn OFF, Her sister
Divides Hers with the
Unfortunate one.

PITTsBURG, Oct 7.-Yesterday after
noon at Remington, a station on the
Cincinnati e Marietta Railroad, Car
rio DawsoD. employed in a paper mil,
while standing near the revolving
shaft, was caught by her hair and had
the scalp torn from her head, stripping
the skin from the back of her neck to
her eyebrows Considerable time
elapsed before medical aid reached
her and it was not deemed advisable
to attemp, to restore the lifeless scalp
o its former place.
To-day DIR. A. j Howe, of this city,
commenced the restoration Of the skin
to the wounded girls head by taking
small pieces of scalp from the head OF
her sister, who gave herself up freely
for her sisters relief. while, another
lady offered the skin from her own
shoulder to supply what was needed
for her forehead Supplies sufficient
to start a growth of new membrane
were taken from each of these ladies,
and while Miss Dawsons condition lie
dangerous, her physician entcrtains
some hope Of her recovery. and Of the
success of his effort to cover her head
with new skin.
