ELSEWHERE we publish an account
of a most horrible affair which was per-
petrated last week in Wilkinson county
1t was one of the most dastardly out
RACES that ever occurred in Mississippi.
We can vouch for the statement of our
correspondent being entirely correct in
every particular. He is a well known
and prominent citizen of Wilkinson. 1t
will be seen that the neighbors of the
unfortunate family visited quick and de-
served punishment upon the perpetrators
ne the deed. Had the evil doors been
vvhite and their innocent victims been
black. the crime would have already
been heralded in every part Of the
country as another crime committed to
inti,aidate voters. Every Radical news
paper IN the North would have published
It under heavy head lines for political
effect. and cur neighbor, the Times,
would have waved the bloody shirt with a
whoop and hurrah AS 1t i. we dare
say very few Northern papers viii eyer
publish an account of it, and not oae
Northern voter in every ten thousand
will ever hear of if. The wards of the
nation can do no wrong. Il il patriotic
to kill a rebel and to destroy solid
Southern family.

market has excited advance in conse-
quence of the receipt of the news that
the armistice between Turkey and Servia
had been at last cGnsummated, and of
reports of short crop, viii doubtless be
pleasant to many of our RAIDERS. Every

MISSISSIPPI.
NobIy Fousht---GIorIou.iy Wen.

1t is gorgeous food Of sunlight that
illumines the batt.e-flag of the Democrat
&c party in Mississippi. The victory Of
November, 1875, is crowned with a still
more glorious result in November, 1876.
At this writing, we dare not undertake
to give the figures with precision in
the avalanche of victory, which
is pouring upon US from every
county. High as were our expectations,
they have been more than realized. The
Democratic majority may be FORTY
THOUSAND, and possibly it may reach
FIFTY THOUSAND. Burst forth into
singing oh ye mountains, and clap your
hands with JOY oh We fields! Mississippi
so long cast down is doubly redeemed.
Now may the prophecies sing: "W(
have triumphed gloriously. The
" horse and the rider hath He throw
"into the sea"

p. S.-We stop the press to announce
the certainty of Tilden's election.

If Artesia had been on the line of
the Vicksburg and Meridian Railroad
last Wednesday morning when the five
hundred armed negroes were forming
solid squares and marching and counter
marching and establishing "dead lines, >
in an hour or two Warren and Kinds
counties would have put into that quiet
little village body Of men, who would
have planted that dead line so deep that
nothing except GabriePs trumpet could
have moved it. That five hundred
armed negroes wouldn't have had a cor
poral's guard left for duty. A body OF
men, who, our word for it, would have
made Rome howl. A body of men who
have not forgotten the daylight attack
on Vicksburg or the Clinton massacre.
Men who have been there and who
would have known what they went for
again.

No levy, it is seen, is made for ''gen-

that under the very careful and wise

intelligent Board of Supervisors, the
savings from last year, in that fund, will
be sufficient, it is thought, to run the
county another year. Was such thing
ever heard of under Radical rule?

HORRIBLE AFFAIR.

dren Murdered and Burned mp.

On Wednesday last a colored man came
to Woodville with the information that Mr..
VIM. SturdiYant, his wife and three chill
dren (the oldest three years and the
youngest six weeks OLD were burned up in
their house Parties Immediately pro-
ceeded to the spot, near Perrytown, about
a miles northeast of Woodville Just before
arriving, however, other parties were met
coming from the scene, who gave intorma-
ton that two men (negroes) had confessed
to the murder OF Mr.. and Mrs. Sturdivant
and firing the house, and that the said
negroes had already expiated their crime
one by being shot and the other hung. Eye
witnesses describe the scene as the most
heartrendiag. and defying description
Only the charred stomach and head
remaining of any OF them All their arms
and lower extremities being consumed
The negroes who did this diabolcal act
were Charles Griggs and Willis Reed The
cause is thought, ty some to have be en- fol
money. and others that they were murdered
out of pure meanness a: any rate, the
manner of its preparation surpasses any
thing in the annals of crime that ever hap
pened in Wilkinson county. Its supposed
that there are some others implicated, and
that already two women have been arrested
as accessories. We are no advocate OF
Judge Lynch, but really hanging was toe
good for those devils, and if they had been
burned in the fire (Which was still alive)
their own hellish instinct had created, the
verdict of an indignant community would
be '.served them right"
Politics are quet-nothing being done
now by either the RAIDS or Democrats. We
are hopeful for the b2st.

Editors Clarion: One of the charges
most frequently Democratic Conservative
party of the State is, that it is opposed to
public education, and will destroy the free
school system, if permitted to hold the reins
of power To show how false this charge
is, | send you an abstract from the report
of Capt. Jas. A Rainwater, now, and
for year past, the Democratic Conser-
vative Superintendent of Public Educa
ton for Pamela county. 1t shows that
under his honest and economical manage
ment, and by the salutary laws of the
present Legislature, our county has been
saved Sl3,78 SO; the average school term
has been extended thirty days, and 2,097
more children have attended the public
schools than ever beforehand all this in
single year In addition to this, Capt.
Rainwater has visited more schools, than
were ever visited 10y any Radical Super
intendent, and during the summer spent
il month laboring in a colored teachers
institute, which he established for the
sole purpose of instructing colored teach
ers, and fitting them to discharge their
duties properly. Such facts as these
triumphantly refute all the ISLANDERS
which our INSCRIPTIONS antagonists utter
against US.
