THE ArrRAY CANTON.
Stmtcment OF DI-trict-AttOrney q.
a. Wilson, an a. e-Witness.
Canton, MISS, Oct. 7th, 1876.

CANToN, MISS, Oct. 7th, 1876.
Gen. j. h. George;
DEAR SIR: | have been requested by
many of the good citizens of this place to
give YOU an exact account Of the affray
to-day, between Mr.. Weathersby, a cit
izen Of Canton, and Gen. Geo. o.
Mckee. | am disinterested so far as be-
ing a non resident, and only casually
know either of the gentlemen. l am
certain the Republican press will put the
affair in the Outrage milf and grind a
thing to suit themselves-hence, it is but
proper, ut least, that we should fully
understand the whole matter.
Gen. Mckee came up here this morn
ing with the avowed purpose Of making a
political speech as soon as it was ascer-
iained that the political issues of the
day were to be discussed, n proposition
was made to Mckee to divide time with
Col. Luckett and others, as | am re-
liubly informed but this he refused, and
about one o'clock, during the recess of
Court, took the stand and commenced
90 speak 10 about 100 men-most of whom
were colored. lie charged that the De
mocracy had stolen an immense amount
from the public treasury. Mr.. Wealth
ersby and Mr.. s.. G.. Divine, about
twenty steps oG, said that was not so,
and was a lie. Mckee then raised a
loaded cane that he had in his hand, and
said, "Iou damn sOn-ofbitch, if you
call me n lie / will crack your head with
this stick and jumped off the stand
and started toward Weathersby and Di.
vine with the stick raised. They met
him half way between the stand and
the place where they were standing,
and Weathersby got the first lick and
struck Mckee on the head with n walk
ing stick, that Weathersby always carries,
and knocked him (McKee) down. /
saw the whole affair and picked up Nc
KEGS stick and retained It for an hour.
Il has an iron rod running through it,
and has a heavy leaden or iron head to
it Any one would pronounce it a dead
" weapon. There was no excitement
or bad feeling exhibited by any one.
Col. Luckett was then invited to address
the audience, which he did in an appro-
pirate manner that did a great deal OF
good. An old negro was then called to
the stand aud made one of the best talks
l have heard in n long time. He did
not declare for any candidate himself
except Col. Straightforward advised har-
mouy and good feeling between the col
ored man and the Southern white man.
lie was cheered by both white and black,
and his sensible talk left a splendid i'm
pr sion on the negroes. Mckee was
taatn up by white men-Dr. Lee and
others-and kindly cared for. Nc
violence was offered him, other than
have mentioned, which was necessary tC
repel the force he was using.
Yours, very respectfully,
g. A. WILSON.

The Lord a GOOD Payma.ter.

Mr.. Wesley once, when he was making
a collection, urged the people to give,
and in this way to lend their money to
the Lord, adding "The Lord is a good
Paymaster." These words made such an
impression upon the mind of a little boy
who was present, that he put a shilling
into the plate. This was the only coin
that he possessed. He fully expected
that his shilling would soon come back to
him, and as time passed on, and it did
not return, he was much disappointed.
So at last he told his mother what he
had let to the Lord, and that it had not
been paid him again. "Never mind, +"
replied his mother, ''the Lord Is a good
Paymaster."
Twenty years rolled away, and the boy
had grown up to be a very rich man, and,
what is infinitely better, a real Christian.
Ope day he met Mr.. Wesley and re-
minded him Of his words, telling him also
how he had acted upon them. HAnd
so" he added, 'the Lord Is a good Pau
master, for / am this day worth twenty
thousand pounds, and, l trust, have the
grace of God in my heart"
