he could so to the Jail and there suffer the pen

ing with pain the victim jumped up, declaring
that he could not stand it. They then tried

asked TO 20 to jail. But mercy had departed
from his prosecutors, and they told him that he
consented to take thrashing and q thrashing he
should have, SO they "buckcd" him down, and,
without, favor laid on twenty-five lashes with q

IHE TRUTH ABOUT MIsslSsIpPI.-rhe minority
report OF ihe Mississippi investigation commit.
lee establishes beyond controversy that whatever
trouble did occur in the State was due entirely
10 the conduct OF the carpet-bag Governor, Ames.
He surrounded himself with Inen of the most
desperate and abandoned character of both race
and never sought the acquaintance even of me-,
OF intelligence and position who had the resract
OF the people. TO show how the reports of out
RACES are exaggerated, the case Of what is deg
lgnated "a the Clinton massacre may be ol,u.
deu TO. In this affair witnesses before the com
mittee, whose testimony had been cooked up"
In advance, put the number of colored pcople
killed at all the way from thirty to seventy; vet
when they were called upon for names not one
OF them could mention more than three or F,ur
persons. Months before the election Amcs com
menced 10 organize his negro militia; arms and
ammunition were distributed with o lavish hand
anu there was Scarcely an adult tnale negro in
the State but had bi. revolver, gun or other
deadly weapon. They became under the teach
1ngs OF hnes and his minions, insolent and
threatening in their dcmeanor. As conse-
quencc the whites were compelled to Arm for
the protection Of their families and friends
Collisions, more or less, did occur and AS al
ways will be the case. the inferior race was
worsted, but rs said above, there was no disor-
der nor violence on the day OF election Chase
the special agent sent out by the Department of
Justice, was before the committee and detailed
his movements in the State prior to the election
Of 1874. He was surprised to find that Cover
nor Ames had no acquaintance 1T all with those
representing the property and the intelligence
of the State, and it through him that Ames
met such prominent Democrats as Messrs George
and Barksdae, who, "a members of the STATE
committee, were conducting the Democratic
campaign
