REPORTED MURDER OF NEGROES BY
MISSISSIPPI WHITE LINERs.-The Attor-
ney General has received the following dis
patch from the u. g. marshal OF the northern
district of Mississippi:
Messengers from Montgomery county
report disturbance on Sunday last. The
whites armed, marched through the country,
and killed one colored man, whipped and
hung two, and seriously Injured one. Report
determined the colored people shall not vote
the republican ticket"
THE Washington correspondent OF the
Baltimore Gazette sends q dispatch to that
paper that q report Is in circulation here
that so well-known ring contrac tor, one OF
those who was deeply interested in q brick
manufacturing company, had failed and hal
turned over All his property to his wife,"
We are informed that there is not parti-
Gle OF foundation for this outrs geOus attack
upon the credit OF the gentleman named. 1t
seems to be part OF the mischievous at
tempt being made by certain parties here to
break down the credit Of business mon, and
II is about time IL was frowned down by re-
spectacle men and newspapers. It is q mat
itself to the work OF iDjuring business men
In Washington, when it would studiousIy
avoid Ike course towards the business
men OF its own city.
ga LAST CALL"-Hon. Zachariah Chaud-
ler, secretary Of the Republican National
Committee, yesterday issued another ad-
dress to the republicans Of the United States,
saying that "spontaneous and enthusias-
tic uprising OF the Northern people within
the last few days, evidenced by recent ad-
vices, leaves no doubt about the election OF
ana Se aays syse shs Of
sive and valueless promise" of Mr..
Tilden Lot to press rebel war claims
and that the north has resolved to unite
against "solid SOUTH" He further says
that pr0oaby every northern state Will be
carried for Hayes, and that the three Pacific
coast states and New Jersey are believed TO
be surely republican. There Is good light
ing chance for Indiana, while the "informa-
tion from North Carolina, South Carolina,
Florida, and Louisiana shows that In spite
OF the murderous opposition of Tilden dem
ocrats, these southern states will give ma
JOrltles iOr hayes"
