MACON, Miss, Nov. 1st, 1876.
EDS. CLARION: In a communication
in your paper of the 31st October, we
see that Geo. L. Welsh, Esq, Of KEN
per county, refers, among others, to US,
the undersigned
We take pleasure in saying that we
have known Mr.. Welsh intimately for
the last thirty years at least-have
known him in fact since his childhood.
That he was the clerk of the Probate
Court of Kemper county continually for
about fifteen years, and until the alterna-
tive was presented him to take the iron
clad oath or vacate That during all of
our acquaintance with him there has
never been, within our knowledge, the least
suspicion of aught wrong in the conduct
of Mr. Welsh, but in his childhood he
was respected for the social standing of
his family, and since he has arrived at the
age of responsibility he has always, to
our certain knowledge, occupied
respectable position in the best
society of the county, and has
ever been regarded as a high toned and
worthy gentleman, not only truthful and
honest, but actually far above suspicion
and that we would not entertain, for one
moment, the least doubt as to the truth
of any statement he has made or would
make, believing him, as we do, incapable
of stating falsehood.

TTNHIS cause coming on to be heard, the mo-
l. tion for order of Publication in the
matter of the petition of the Administrative
in the above styled cause, for a final settle
ment and discharge, said petition being duly
sworn to according to law, and it appearing
to the salts faction of the Court that several of

Court cannot be served upon them to-wit
William G. Austin, residing and having his
postofice address at SCOTS Station, Harrison

siding and having her postoffce address at

that publication be made in the CLARION, "A

" Of Kinds, State aforesaid, once a week for

TIE sheriff dispatched to town for re-
Inducements. Twenty men were ordered
to report to him. They were marched
down with the utmost precision, display
ing wonderful subordination to the orders
of the peace officers, who commanded
them. The negroes, after firing, took
refuge in the Bayou Pierre swamp. By
making a detour this was partially sur
rounded, and some six or eight negroes,
with discharged guns in their hands,
were captured. The wLite people dis
played remarkable forbearance. Not
one act Of violence, or outrage, was com
mitted no blows with clubs were ever
inflicted as asserted by Sprott. The wri-
ter was on the ground, and an eyewit-
ness; had the white citizens been under
military disci pline they could not have
behaved better. There was no skir-
mishing over the fields of James Page.
The writer, in company with MIR. Ellis,
a constable, and Mr. l.. ID. Magruder,
called at Pages house and asked for him
and his sons. His wife informed them
that they were not at home, and invited
a search of the house, which was de-
clined.
In the morning, Messrs. Harris Bur
net, Leach McLaurin, 5. Humphries
and Dishroon brothers passed the ne
groes, numbering about one hundred IN
der arms, with several ladies who were
anxious to reach home. The negroes in
solently ratified their guns, frightening
the horses and endangering their riders.
One of them stepping out of line, in
dulged in language Of the utmost
obscenity, and exclaimed that they had
waited long enough, and now is the
time to commence the thing"
Mr.. +. L. Myles, who happened to be
in Grand Gulf, witnessed the distribu-
ton of small amount of ammunition !;
and overheard one negro say: ''Give ME
three of those ounce balls, want to kill
three white Democrats. These are but
few of the incidents going to show the
animus of the ruffians sought to be turned
loose upon the citizens of Port Gibson.
Sprott is now a fugitive from Clai-
borne, a warrant having been issued for
his arrest. He is fit maligner of the
people he hates, and whose ruin he has
more than once plotted, but he cannot
always enjoy imPunity.

Masonry and the Church

1t is said that Masonry is a rival of
the Church in its aims and teachings,
but this is true only as it is true of the
family, the school, the college, the State,
and every other organization that has for
its object the welfare and comfort Of
mankind.
1t is also claimed that our lodge-meet-
ings detain men from church attendance
by occupying time which would otherwise
be given to the church. But the Mason
ic Order carefully abstains from intrench
ment upon times and seasons claimed by
the church, and offers nothing as sub
stitute for sacraments, ordinances or
doctrines Nor is it true that Masonry
deprives the church Of money On the
contrary, there are but few MasOns who
do not contribute, to some extent, money
for the sustenance of the church.
And Masonry declares that he who is
false to his religious conviction is thereby
false to himself and Masonry.
There may be pragmatic Masons who
are willing to make the order stumbling
block to other organizations, but Ma
sonry is no more responsible for their
disloyal conduct than the church for
the misconduct Of her unworthy MEM
bers.
But we are not content with negatons,
for Masonry is related to other organiza-
tions in kindlier and more afectionate
manner. We do not mean that the order
processes to go out of its way with unctu
Gus promises of fellowship, for Masonry
promises the world but one thing that it
will mind It's own business.
But the makeup of Masonry, the
principles and practical work of the order,
are pre-eminently cooperative with all
organizations that have the welfare of
man at heart The order, especially in
all new countries. is the efficient fore
runner of all organizations, as is proved
by the facts of history and the nature of
Masonic principles,

about O o'clock, when the citizens gen

was undoubtedly the work of an incen-

to fire the village. 1t originated in the
frame building occupied by Frank Bar

per, and spread to the two houses on
either siAr On the west was brick

am occupied by Mr.. Sank Murphy, which
was entirely destroyed. On the right, a
frame honse, occupied by Mr.. John w.
Peyton as a warehouse, was burned.
The fire was seen at Cooper's Wells, and
the citizens hurried back in time to save
other property, though several houses
caught fire, which were extinguished
Mr.. Sivley, Mr. Peyton, and Mr.. Bar
low had no insurance. Mr.. Caspar was
insured for 50, 600. 0.-Vicksburg Herald
