Republican victory-Disgraceful Conduct
of Democrats.

The city of Corinth, Mississippi, hereto
fore Democratic, was carried by the Re-
publicans at the last municipal election.
r, j. Fleming was elected mayor and Dan
iel Bradley city marshal. both Of whom are
gentlemen of we'll known integrity and
emnently qualified to fill the positions to
which they have been chosen.
A correspondent writing to the Prairie
Ners gives the following account OF the
disgraceful conduct of the defeated De-
mocracy of that city:
In the evening several diegraceful scenes
were enacted. in one of which our worthy
pos m ,ster, Esquire Dodson, was roughly
handled. merely because he was Repub-
lican, we suppose. A quieter and more
peaceful man does not exist than Esquire
DodsOn. Nevertheless he would have pug
iehed bis assailant severely had be been let
alone.
Dpring the night the Republican flag
po@-a very handsome and expensive one
bv the way-was broken off at the top,
and thus rendered unfit for the purpose,
which was to bear through the day a
large United States flag on the lower
border of which was printed 10 large let
ters the names of Hayes and Wheeler.
The better class Of Democrats denounce
this outrage, of which they are ashamed.
But this does not atone for the malicious
hate Of the lower order of their followers,
this mean act. Our once beautiful, but
now riven and disfgured flag pole, Is
mute but eloquent tribute to the anlmus
of at lesst portion of that party whose
professions of loyalty and steDtOrian cries
Ut reform find visible and tangible express
sion in acts of vandalism like the one above
narrated.-J0ckson Times.

JAIL DELIVERY AT COCSHATTA.
Release by n White Mob of the Westel
Assassin.

The following is from the Coushatta Gil.
zen of October I:
Some time during last Wednesday night
a party Of unknown men visited the parish
Jail in this place and set at liberty all the
criminals confined therein. Oae OF tie
prisoners, who conversed with parties after
getting out, says the men who set them free
were white men. ten or twelve in number,
and we'll armed. They first tried to force
open the front door of the Jail, but finding
it too much fer them, they got a ladder and
effected an entrance By a window in tho
second story of the building. Some of the
prisoners were under sentence ard
were shackled and chained; the chains
and ehackes were filed loose, and
after being set free the whole crowd left
town in the direction of SpriDgv!lle, and
have not since been heard of, with the ex-
ceptiOn of one negro, who Is up the river
patiently waiting for the sheriff 10 come for
him. The belief is general that the men
who entered the Jail are the friends Of the
man Sirother, charged with an attempt
upon the lite of Mr.. T. Wester, district
clerk, but how true the snpposition may be,
We are unable to say. We have net heard
" neither or not the sheriff will try to cap
ture the prisoners and arrest the men who
liberated them, but presume not, as the at
tempt would likely prove waste of time.
No blame or suspicion is attached to the Of
ticer in charge of the Jail, Mr.. Champion,
who knew nothing of what had transpired
the night previous until he went to feed
them on Thursday morning, and found
them gone. Four of the fleeing birds are
negroes, and the other white man.

Nichols In Carroll.

Ga Wednesday last the above named
gentleman visited Providence for the pur-
pose of laying before the dear people his
peculiar claims for the Office Of Governor
Of Louisiana, but as there appeared no
crowd to hear him, and as he was some
what wheezy he only made few remarks,
and took his seat amid dismal and gloomy
silence. His remarks were to the effect
that Carroll's colored men were about the
hardest cases he had met on his tour
through the State. We are satisfied that
no gentleman of even the Democratic
percussion, will be able to gather
about himself sufficient enthusiasm
to write q communication to any paper,
painting in glowing colors q grand success
for the General. The Nichols meeting
here was '.flat, stale and Improbable" to
Nichols. Even the Democrats themselves
did not turn out to hear him, but the few
who were present excused the absentees on
the ground that nobody knew of the ar
rival of the Democratic candidates. If the
Generals success here is in keeping with
his general achievements throughout the
State he will not receive votes enough to
make . Reuteel corporate guard for Gov
ernor Psckard's majority.-LaAs Providence
