Overwh Ginning Evidence OF Quie'
Election.

NEW ORLEANS, December pa
special TO the Democrat from Baton
Rouge SAYS: The testimony before the
Congressional Committee here from Re-
publicans Is overwhelming as to the fair
ness and quiet of the election here.
Lieutenant George Williams, editor OF
Burch's paper, Grand Era, John OCon-
ner and others of the party leaders, all
concur in this point. and insist that bull
doing had no political significance,
and was due to thieyery, ard they swore
no Republican need apprehend any
violence because of his politics. No one
has had to leave the parish on that ac-
count. They also say that Burch has no
cause to fear returning here.
Disastrous Fire.
A Democrat special from Homer says:
A disastrous fire occurred here this
morning, which is thought to be the
work of an Incendisry. Twenty busl-
ness houses were burned ani three
dwellings. Three OF the leading firms
burned out, McCrsney, Gill X Otis and
Barron, lose $3.50, 900; insurance $4,000.

Board; while it would like to see the
original papers it did not like to take
authority compelling their production;
Mr.. Mcdonald, the Democratic counsel,
claimed that the Board could not reject
rolls save on statements or pro-
tests of supervisors, and that polls had
been rejected without these protests and
it was in order to determine this fact that
the original papers were desired; did not
wish 70 embarrass the lsbors of the Board
by il reference with IFS lsbors; he wanted
the whole truth in the matter at the
earliest possible time. The resolution
was defeated by 8 party vote. The Re
publicans stated that they were resdy to
agree at the proper time to any motion
that would throw light on the subject,
but thought the resolution impracucsble
at present. The law of the State govern
ing elections was discussed ST some
length.

that the report Of that honorable

appear upon the records of the

report Of the grand jury, something
radically different in spirit and in
letter from the real report appears
on said records. Now, here is q
most excellent case for our next
grand jury, and We trust that it will
ascertain why the Circuit Clerk
has tempered with the records OF
the court and visit upon him the
punishment he deserves not on ae-

Tho Vicksburg Herald ofthe 18th,
in it's mention of the arrest of II.
Y. Newsum. at that place has this to
say concerning him:
Ncwsum is a man of good appear
ance, apparently we'll educated and
of good Family. and his statement
is that tho money .hich hc misap-
propriatcd amounted to only about
800. He says he became associa-
ted with a number OF young men
whose extravagances Leu him INFO
extravagancc, and when he came TO
balance his accounts with the Tx
press Company, he found he was
short about the amount specified.
lie says his offense amounts to moth
ing more than a breach of trust, and
no more can be made O: it. When he
first spoke of it to his friends, some
of them advised him to 60 away, and
he very fooIishly did so. He regret
ted it afterwards, but having once
started, he did not have the moral
courage to 60 back and face hIs
employers and his friends, with
guilt banging over him.

Editor Canton Mail:
Your correspondent, in company
with a friend, left Canton on last
Wednesday evening for Sharon, to
attend the represen tation of the
Dramatic Club of that place. We
arrived ut the theatre in season, and
found a large aud brilliant Assem-
bly,, principally ladies, avail i.g the
signal for tho curtain to rise. Tho
Canton String Band was present
and discoursed sweet music, for the
excellence of which they are emit
tied to credit. The programme for
the evening consisted Of four come
dies and tarccs, which although
short, were better calculated to dis
play the talent of tho club to All ad
vantage For tho promptness in
shifting scenes and slight delay be-
tween the plays, the manager is en-
titled to his share of praise. The
organization, evidently, contains
some of the real power of expires
zion, and II remains simply IL ques
tion of time, as to when they
may be rivals and worthy too, of
the stock companies we have seem
We can assurcdly say that every
one present was pleased with the
success of the entertainment, and
the members of the club have ev-
cry reason to feel gratified. Our
space is limited and will not permit
us to individualize, nor coul We
do SO when the acting of each ad-
ded so materially to the general
succoss. We were kindly favored
with list of the Ladies' and gentle
men participating in tho dramatics,
and which appears below.

Your correspondent hopes that

lection as exhibited Wednesday
night, it becomes improving, and
not only adds lustre to the name of
the town, but brings society and its

Jackson Times: Last evening an
old gentleman over seventy years
of age was driving on his way home
to Utica from Edwards, where he
had been laying in a wagonload
of supplies. About half way between
those places he was accosted by q
stalwart negro man, named George
Marshall, who asked for ride Mr.
Buckley, Cthe old gentlcman's name
kindly granted hi. request and took
him in the wagon. They had pro-
coded but q short distance when
Marshall, drawing a knife pressed
his left arm against Buckley's throat
forcing him against pillow handle
and robbed his pockets of two hun
dred and fifty dollars. After which
he made good his escape, passing
through Raymond and coming to
Jackson.
Jackson Pilot: A frightful aceilent
occurred at the residence of Mr.. j.
J. Spengler, on Farmer street, vester-
day afternoon, about l o'clock, by
which it is feared that his eldest
daughter, Clara, an interesting girl
of seven years of age, may loss her
life, and Mr.. SpengIer, his wife and
u younger daughter. Rosa, were
badly burned. The cook had gone
out of the kitchen to get wood, and
while she was gone, Clara attempted
to kindlo the fire by pouring kero-
scre oil on it from u can. Of course
rs is always tho case, under like
circumstances. the oil exploded the
can, cnveloping the unfortunate
child in flames, and seriously, per
haps, fatally, burning her about the
face, neck and body. Her little
sister, Rosa, was standing near her
and was severely burned about the
lower limbs. Mr.. and Mrs. Spengler
rushed to the rescue Of their child
dren, and in the attempted to ex-
tinguish the flames, had their hands
and arms painfully burned.

Knights TsnpIsR.

The Conclave of the Knights Tenn
plar this week WAS well attended by
representatives from all parts OF
the State. The mounted parade on
Tuesday was a magnificent pageant
and recalled the days of ancient chIv-
airy. whom the flower of Western
Europe marched to the Orient undcr
the banner Of the cross to recover
the tomb Of the Saviour from the
followers of Mohammed. 1t was
witnessed by hundreds of our citi-
zens of all ages and sexes, who
thronged the sidewalks, windows,
verandahs, and balconies, along the
limo of march.
The Reception at the Gilmer on
Tuesday night was SO conducted as
to afford all who attended tho larg-
est opportunity for enjoyment
music and dancing in one place,
conversation in another, and eating
in the dining-room, all going on at
the same time, from dark till after
midnight The table abounded in
tho Observation-Disclosures and was TASTE
fully decorated. The tsblo rep
resenting cross, within the circle
OF tables where the guests werc serv-
ed, was especially an object of.beauty.
The ladies took the preparation and
management Of the supper table en-
tireiy into their own hands, and the
result did great credit to their skill,
judgement and TASTE.
The Conclavc oonciuded its labors
on Wednesday, and the members
left for their: homes Wednesday eve.
