TnERE was a riot at barbecue at Gin

THERE was riot at barbecue at a Gin
tor, Miss, last Saturday, which, as the
Milwaukee Sentinel very truthfully says,
BEAUTIFULLY illustrates the public manners
and morals of the Southern Democracy
Judge Johnston, Democrat, spoke for an
hour, and was heard most attentively
and respectfully. His opponent in
the political campaign then took
the stand, and had spoken about five Minis
utes when some one in the audience huTl-
ed at him that hateful epithet-''you re a
liar'-never heard in the mouth of any
one but a seditious william, blackguard
or a fool. This was understood to be a
prcconcerted pa for disturbing them Getting
and creating row, :under cover of which
| one or two active Republicans should be
shot. 1t is enough to say that another
effort made an open rapture in the mee.-
| ing, and disclos ID whole band of White
Leaguers brandishing pis o s and knives,
and several persons, mostly negroes, oil
course, were shot, and some killed. The
stereotyped trick then was to raise the
cry that The negroes were arming in the
country, and would swoop down on the
village and inevitably send several Demo
Gratis to regions of high temperature. The
Leagues, of course, doubled and tripled
their strength to meet these imaginary foes,
and, not meeting them, as certainly they
cid not expect to meet them, they called
at the door of the colored President of
the Republican Club of Clinton, invited
sive negro, 100 years old, was shot in
cold blood. Four negroes were found
dead in ono place, six others died from
wounds, and five were found together
wallowing in the dirt and wounded beyond
recovery. AT this interesting point in
the affair the Chairman of the Democratic
| State Central Com. called on The Governor,
asking for an armed posse to suppress o
negro instruction. Of course the Gov
ernor was aware the negroes were clamor-
ing for arms, land he had ordered the
State arms placed within the walls of the
penitentiary. Here the difficulty began
| to subside, and the negroes will be com
PEELED to pocket the outrage, as they have
| had to pocket many others, unless the
United States officers shall succeed in
bringing the Leaguers TO justice. The
story comes from Jack son, that the trou-
bic arose abou drink Of whisky, but
| nowhere is it contradicted that boards o.
armed White-Leaguers sprung up at the
first disturbance; and that they seem to
have things generally their own way.
1t is the blood-thirsty style of promulga-
ting political opinion which has cursed
that section of the coutry for SO many
years. 1t may be true that Southern
Republicans are neither too Godlike nor
humane, but it is truth which scarcely
needs assertion that in all the long list of
latter rows that haye disgraced the
South so far as Insulated for political
ends, they have invariably sprung from
Democratic provocation, and been so man
ipulated as to cast suspicion on the ne
groes and carry as many of them out o |
the world as possible

wisconsin River Improvement.

Wisconsin River Improvement,
The Prairie du CHEN Union seems
to be having its faith in the wing-dan
system renewed, and we hope with rea-
son. From an article in the last is
sue Of that paper we take the follow
ing:
The engineers in charge of the
work are perfectly aware of the ap-
parent hostility uf the people towards
any system of Improvement other than
canal, and consequently they have
worked very cautiously, with view
OF doing the greatest amount of work
with the least expenditure possible, so
that in case the wing-dams should
prove 10 be failure as means of
promoting and insuring the navigabili-
ty Of the stream, the cry of "ruthless
expenditure of, public monies" cannot
be raised. This is a very sensible and
wise course, for them to pursue, and
they are entitled to praise for this at
leastSajWet had a conversation with
Cap6 ART Mcdonald, who is in the
employer, the government on the I'm
provement last, Sunday, and he states
thatehe wing dans are now thorough
ly demonstrating all that is claimed
in the matter of,s making the river
navigas2a, and Is confident that they
wilrasurc Ia navfgable channel at all
seasons-of The year Of four feet in
depth; and one that will be better for
all purposes of navigation, than would
a canal, besides it is a much cheaper
method Of accomplishing the result
desired--cheap transportation. In
substantiation Of this statement, he
said that at the bar of Prairie du Bay,
where the honorable commission
found only twelve inches in June last,
on Saturday,---the water being at
the very lowest stage-.-he took sound
ings and found broad, free channel
of 80 inches in depth, the result of the
work of the wing-dams since the visit
of the honorable commission last June.
lie says, if the public press and the
people will be patient till the expert
ments are satisfactory in the minds of
the engineers, that they will use their
every enaeavor to make the river nav
igab4e 2by the present system of i'm
provement, and, if they fail, which
he thinks highly improbable, that they
will then, if the government acquiesces,
do their utmost towards the further
ance of the canal project.

A Mower Trial in California.

The Sacramento (Cal) Daily Bee OF

Of the Meadow King Mower-whlch IS
being sold in that State in large numbers
which took place on The farm OF Charles
Watts at his ranch near Brldgton. ne
grass cut was clover (a!ialfa) yielding
three tons to the acre. and being OF very
large and stout stalk The running gear
did not clog and the machine could be
started up at once with the cutter bar rest
ing in the stout grass. The Bee says:
From this test it was plain to see that
every advantage claimed tor the Meadow
King had its foundation in fact; that there
was no side draft; that the horses We're
not subjected to a continual heavy drag
that the driving wheels ran clean that the
machine ran lightly and Wa easily hand
led A thorough examination of the con-
struction showed that the mower had been
built upon practical philosophical prnci-
pies, and consequently could be easily re-
paired in every portion. This test oLly
confirmed the evidence of every farmer
who has used the machine during the past
EIGHT Years, or since its introduction IN

somewhat peculiar The boats are Is in

long, and two cutters of the length of 20
feet They are built Of one diagonal thick
ness Of mahogany planking, which is paid
over with a coating of marine glue and a
second coating OF strong linen cloth. The
whole is then ironed over until the glue
comes through the linen, and the boats
are then said to become imperyious to Wa

had to be broken before they could drink.
In stormy weather they would remain IN

ment to result in u positive loss, we finally
commenced hauling water for them, and

mo ! 40 lbs.) five horses and three COWS,
would drink l3O gallons per day that the
cattle drank twice each day. soon after
