n 1t is yet a matter of doubt whether
whites or Indians made the attack upon
Mr.. Brown in Red Canon the other
day. 1t is said by parties who know
that Mr.. Brown had much difficulty
with his employees while being Nen-
gagged in opening the stage roulette
the Black Wills. A number of lawless
whites are known to lie in the Hills
and is possible that the shot was fired
by some one who had n grudge against
Brown this theory is the more likely, /,
as he alone of a party of four men
who occupied the wagon with him,
was injured. We shall receive the
particulars of this sad affair probably

AN ANSJVER TO JEfFERS0N d us
TIE PRESIDENT OF THE ANDERsoNvHLE SUR
VIyoRs STATES THE CAsE-THE MORTALITY OF
PRISONERS ACTUALLY CONFINED THREE TIMES
THE GREATEST IN THE SOUTH.
NORWICH, Conn, Feb. 7.-Warren Lee Goss,
President of the National Union of Andersonyille
Survivors, has written letter to the Bulletin, re-
piyng to Jeffei son Davis assertion that the NOR
ality of the Confederate prisoners in Union hands
was in greater proportion than that of Union sol
iers IN re bel prisons. Mr.. Goss quotes the Fed
era War Department figures, showing the total
CAPTURE Of soldiers and citizens by the Confeder-
ate forces to have been lSS, 40. 1t is estimated
that OF these half were actually confined IN prs
ons The number of deaths in Confederate pris-
ons was 36 40l. Consequently the per cent OF
mortality in prisons was 80 "a, and the per cent OF
the entire captures about 10 3-S. The number OF
captures by the Union forces 476. 1872 actually
confined Uhe rest being paroled or cxchangedl,
327, SO; per cent of mortality in prison, Is IL
per cent of mortality, of mortality of whole
plumber of captures 6 l3. Thus the mortality
in rebels prisons was about three times
as great as that in Union prisons. Mr..
Goss also quotes the official report OF the Conied-
cate Inspector Of Prisons, Lieut. Col. ID. L. Chand-
ler who is iavorably spoken Of by the Confederate
Assistant Secretary Of War, to show that recon-
mendations were actually made to Mr.. DAVIS $
Cabinet to replace Gen. Winder, Commander at
Andersonvile with some one more humane, and
the only notice taken thereof by Mr.. Davis was to
promote Winder to the position OF Commiesary
General Of all the Confederate prisons.

RecOiI In Rife Shooting

The following extract is from the Spriug
field (Mass.) Union, which will, no doubt,
interest the members of our sporting club,
as we'll as all others versed in firearms:
1t has been a question with marksmen
whether the recoil Of pistol or rifle oc-
Cured before the ball left the. Many have
contended that it did not, and the tendency
Of the pistol.to ''throw up" did not affect
its accuracy. recent experiment seems
to have shown conciuslvely that the recoil
occurs before the ball leaves the bore and
does not affect it's direction. The expert
ment was this: A rifle barrel twelve
inches long for convenience, was secured TO
solid bed IN such way as to prevent any
movement, but that of recoil directly to the
rear and upward. In this situation it was
fred a number of times, and the balls fol-
lowed each other into the same hole in the
target An incline or wedge was tben
made fast upon the bed at the rear of the
barrel in such way that the breech would
be raised as it slid back in the recoil
Fired under these conditions, it sent the
balls lower than before This showed that
the recoil and subsequent elevation of the
breech occurred in season to affect the di-
rection of the ball-that is before it had
le1tthe bore. OF course the length Of the
barre! has an effect in several ways upon the
degree IN which the recoil affects the accu-
racy OF the shooting.

The Second Assembly District.

Mr.. Charles Il. Phillips, of Lake Mills, is
the Republican candidate for the Assembly
in the I'd Ass mbly distric of Jefferson
county. Mr.. Phillips was elected in the
district last year with the odds greatly
against him, and the indications are very
favorable for his reelection this fall. Mr..
Phillips is so popular candidate that his
Democratic competitor Mr.. w. W. Wood
man finds it rather hard Shedding against
him. The tide has set in against Woodman
in the district and hundreds of Democrats
have avowed their determination to bolt
him. The development made against
Woodman in the Lacrosse bond matter is
greatly damaging his chances. This is
bad time for spurious reformers like W ood-
man to ask to tie lifted into power The
people have had enough of the Taylor tribe
of political blood suckers.

legal gen tleman arose with a majesty that
was appalling, and after calmly looking
over his audience. as is the custom Of great
speakers, he opened his discourse with

the modern style Of addressing political
gathering, but who shall say that the
speaker was not justified in taking his au-
dience for corps of jurymen.

A Joke too Good to be Lost.

Yesterday afternoon letter was received
by a leading Democrat from one G. W. B.
at Jefferson, saying, "Carpenter will speak
here Friday evening"" Word was passed
around among the faithful, and more ju-
bilant let OF fellows was never seen. They
supposed the Carpenter mentioned was none
other than the gallant and distinguished
ex Senator, and at once arrangements were
inaugnrated for grand and imposing DEM
onstration, including torch-light process
sion. A suggestion that some other Car
penter than Matt might be the gentleman
spoken of was frowned down at once with
the answer that sthere isn't but on
Carpenter and that Carpenter is Matt
| and it is he who is going to speak
for 'sTilden and R-e-f-o-r-m' They re-
scented all intimations to the contrary,
and having prepared themselves to swal-
low all the lies they have told about him in
the past, stood ready with arms extended to
receive him back into the Democratic fold
But, alas for the uncertainty Of human
expectations, their fondest hopes were
blighted and the cup of happiness which
they had raised to their lips was dashed 10
the ground. Later developments showed
that the Carpenter who was to hio
himself to Jefferson to spout Demo-
cratic doctrines is MOI Matt but S. D.
otherwise known as pump" That such
a fall as this from the sublime to the ridic
ulous had u depressing effect on the "boys''
i natural enough. Taken in connection
with the untoward events Of the day before,
con nected with their mass meeting, they
are indeed sickly set, and are in no mood
for being joked about what they consider a
serious matter. So please consider this
private, and don't say anything to them
about it.
