About two o'clock yesterday morning q
collision occurred between two freight
trains on the jackson railroad, this side of
Kenner, about eight miles above this city.
The jar, though it threw no cars from the
track, caused an explosion in car loaded
with powder and other inflammables, and
the result was the burning of ten cars filed
with general merchandise. No one was in
iured save brakeman, who was slightly
burned. The track was cleared during the
day, and the evening trains came and went
on time.

Mass Meeting in Rapides.

U10D8 uectI0X IN n8plOcDs
From . correspondent at Alexandria
more complete details of the successful
mass NEE ting at Rapides last Saturday are
received. The meeting was held at the
Alexandra public schoolhouse, but as
there were more than Q thousand present
the speakers addressed the audience from
the gallery. Flags and cannon drew the
people together, and the gallery was occu-
pied by many ladies. Full provision for an
extensive barbecue had been made.
Lieutenant Governor Antoine was cheered
whenever he appeared during the day. At
twelve o'clock v. N. Porter, Esq, the
president, called the meeting to order and
introduced Lieutenant Governor Antoine.
The audience was . very intelligent one,
and Governor Antoine entertained them for
two hours. He was followed by Judge
Levisee, who devoted his time principally
to discussing the financial issues. He was
interrupted several times by the Democrats
present, but had ready answers for each
question.
Mr.. J. D. Kennedy followed Judge Levi
see and exceeded the expectations that
were formed. He referred to the speech of
the dis trict attorney, who had followed
him at Colfsx, and to the personal remarks
made by him. He was here threateningly
interrupted by the district attorney, who
was afterward quieted by his father and
brother. Mr.. Kennedy continued and made
such an impression that his speech was the
one topic of conversation during the even
ing. and he was complimented by all par
ties.
The barbecue came next, and when that
was over the speakers and few others
went to the houses of John DeLscy, Esq,
and Rev. William Murrell, and while there
were serenaded by bands under the leader
ship OF Messrs. L. Amber and William
Murray. The party spe1t the night pleas
antly at the fresides of prominent Repub-
licans and left with the firm impression
that the parish would give from 600 to 800
Republican majority in November.

BRooKHAvEs, Mss, Sept ?, 1876.
IL d. Carrie. Esq., Franklin County.
DEAR SIR IL have heard with pleas
ure and qualification Of your nomination
for the Senate from the District composed
Of Franklin and Jefferson. / am con
vinced that the only hope Of the National
Republican party 10 perpetuate its power,
is in arrsigning the North, East and
West against the South, by an appeal TO
the sectional prejudices engendered BY
the war, and if that party is continued
in power by a campaign based upon hos
tility to the South. nothing but evils can
result to our State. Being convinced Of
this, and a Southern man by birth, in
stinct and education, l have concluded
that it was my duty to sever my connec-
tion with a party that thus seeks TO en-
gender sectional strife to the detriment OF
the whole country, but more especially to
the South, and know of no more fitting
occasion to express myself than by ten
dering, through you, to the people of my
native county, my service in the Senate
rial contest, upon which you are about
to enter. Already Mr.. Boutwell,, a
Senator from Massachusetts, and a gen
tleman authorized to speak for his party,
has recommended that our State, in
certain contingency, should be remanded
TO a territorial condition--thus striking
it from the galaxy of free and fndepensi-.
ent States, to occupy, in the government
of the Fathers, a servile position. Agains:
such policy am ready to do battle.
Against the nominees of the Republican
party, for the two highest positions in
the gift of the people, l have nothing to
say; they are honorable and great men,
of whom Americans may well feel proud,
but however great or good they may be,
they cannot run counter to the will of
the leaders of their party, to whom they
will owe their election, ard if elected,
it is reasonable to assume that their ad-
ministration will be of the same hostile
and sectional character as the campaign
that inaugurated it. The result may
lead to the adoption of Mr.. Boutwell's
policy, and restoration of bayonet rule
in Mississippi. 1t is plain to me that
such rule is not remedy for any of
the evils that may exist, and can only
be followed by train of evils, the ex-
tent and number Of which it is impossi-
bic to foresee. To avert such a calamity
to the liberty and prosperity of Missis-
sippi, l enter the list of those who are
battling against the consumation of such
a policy. Wishing you and the cause
you represent success, | am

Some More intimidation
Yorkville Enquirer.l

Yorkville Enquirer-l
Tuesday morning almost witnessed a
difficulty between some negro Radicals
on one side, and a colored Democrat,
backed by some whites, on the other side.
The offending negro had joined the Til
den and Hampton Club on the previous
evening, which was considered by his
colored bretheren an act of great iniqui-
ty, and one deserving of immediate pun
ishment. Tuesday morning was the
time, and Main street the place selected
for administering the whipping but to
their surprise and astonishment, they
soon found the Democratic negro rein
forced by some whites, who told him to
stand firm, for they were at his back.
1t is only necessary to say that the ne
gro Radicals deemed it part of wisdom
and prudence not to whip the Democratic
negro that morning.

Ectter from Hon. Clarence Cal.
lens RenOuucing the Re-
publican Party.

EDITOR OF THE SoUTH:-After ma
ture deliberation, / have concluded to
renounce my allegiance to the Republi-
can party, both State and National. 1t
follows then that should seek some other
party organization. find that the
Democratic party, by its platform offers
a footing to every one who, like myself,
earnestly advocates the equally of all men
of all races before the law. The follow
ing reasons have, in great part, impelled
me to this departure from a party with
which l have zealously acted since my
political birth.
lst The declarations of the Democratic
party, now come full to the measure of
those great truths enunciated by our fore
fathers and engrafted into the organic
law of the land.
1t recognizes the perpetuity of the
union of these States, declaring it to be
a Fundamental truth that all men living,
created equal, shall live under equal laws.
Hence it follows that there is no sacrifice
of honor for Republican to join the
Democratic party.
2d. The white race of the South, those
who own the soil and possess the intelli-
gence as we'll as the ignorant of the same
race, believe, will never join hands on
terms of peace and quiet with the Re
publicans as now organized in this and
some other States.
While /, personally, as a Republican,
have nothing to fear for life or limb, yet
that peace and quiet necessary to the en-
joymeut of life, and necessary to the laud
able acquisition of property can only bt
had by my identity of interest with th'
intelligence of the country.
81. The colored race, which is the nu
merical force Of the Republican party
will have much to gain by political associ
alton with the whites. A vote is a paten
lever of protection-it brings to the vote
a full and ample recognition of his right
! and it logically follows that numbe
Of negroes voting the Democratic ticke
will commit that party, BY sheer necessit
to their protection in deed as well a
words. This is what the negroes need
z and as Democrat can, openly deyot
myself to this practical elevation an,
material interests.
