Terrible Outrage ON a Child i'm
Simpson County.

Brandon Republican,
We understand that a negro by the
name of Durr some ten days ago at
tempted an outrage upon a little four
year old girl, the daughter of Mr.. Leon
ard Berry, of Simpson county. He es-
capped, and was arrested in Covington
county a few days after and brought
back to Westville, and would probably
have been taken out of jail and hung
but for the assem6iage of large number OF
negroes from Simpson and Coptngtor. aoith
a vie,r, 1t is thought, Of preventing Uiotence
to him.
Speaking of the terrible epidemic o.
RIGHTEOUSNESS among the negroes, which
is growing to be the terror of fair woman
hood, and even childhood, in the South,
we said that hanging by Lynch law was
not sufficient punishment. Death must
be melted out in a more torturing form, if
need be, for the protection of defenseless
females.
We fear that the patience which re-
strained the manhood of Simpson county
in the above recited case, from visiting
condign punishment not only upon the
author of the outrage, but upon the mob
who rose up to protect him, will be con-
strued into a submission to such atroci-
ties, and will encourage their repetition.

Help Yourselves.

Our people who are suffering from the
iniquities of Radical rule, must rely upon
their own efforts for relief, not upon out
siders. When the WAGNER prayed to
Hercules to roll his wagon out of the
mire, the god of strength told him to
put his own shoulder to the wheel.
During the last Presidential canvass, in
response to an application for material
aid, the Executive Committee at New
York sent cart load of New York
World newspapers most venal sheet
that was ever published in the United
States.
Let us help ourselves, and the God of
justice will give us the victory.

LauderGIaIe.

The Meridian Mercury informs us thai
% all the apprehended troubles (of Dem
ocratic divisions) in Lauderdale have
been safely passed and left behind. The
desire and full determination of the white
people and taxpayers to control the pub,
lie affairs of the county has been enough
to subdue all dissensions. The danger is
passed and the white people are unit =
and furthermore, that the Democratic
ticket is good one, a strong one and
everybody is satisfied and nobody dis
satisfied.
These are encouraging signs. SINH
lar reports are coming up from all parts
of the State.
We must elect Hemingway. The
Legislature must he carried.

From the N. Y. Tribune liberal Rep.)
The Democratic party in Mississippi
has been heard from. 1t has heard a
speech by Hon. Mr.. Lamar, and it has
passed resolutions. Mr.. Lamar has told
it that the Government of the United
States is dreadful, and that the State
Government of Mississippi is worse than
any in the wilds of Africa But he has
also told it that reconciliation is desired
and ought to be attained, and that the
constitutional amendments are all right.
The resolutions of the party are equally
paciRc-favoring economy and sense of
public duty. Altogether the condition
of the Mississippi Democrats is rational
and pleasing.

THE Seacoast Republican is heavy on

Of the Ames sanctuary, its utterances
are significant. 1t says:
A. X Davis has done all he could to
bring disgrace upon the party that lifted
him to honor. He owes it TO himself; he
owes it to his friends he owes it to the
party he has disgraced, to make such res
titutiOn as is in his power. He cannot
make amends. He can resign. Let him

now. "Step down and out" Decency
demands it; justice demands it. Let

should learn how to make this selection
The points to be noted are not many,
and may be easily remembered. but only
practice can give that skill upon which
success depends. Other things being
equal, however, the man who has learn
Cd from others what the fat points are,

sooner than one who has 10 rely solely

To England VIC owe more than all the

land owes more TO Robert Blackwell
than 10 any other one man. He was the
pioneer IN systematic breeding and feed
ing. Since his day. equal, aad perhaps
greater, success has been achieved bv
