JACKSON Miss, May lon Thurs
day evening last John w. Gully, a
prominent citizen of Kemper county,
was assassinated by an unknown per-
son. The murder created intense ex-
element. and every means was resort
ed to to discover the perpetrator. On
Saturday two colored men made affi-
davit that Benz. Bush, a white man,
was the guilty party, and that Judge
Chisolm, who ran for Congress on the
Republican ticket in the third District
at the last election, his son and Gil.
mer Rosenbaum and man named
Hopper, all white Republicans knew
of and instigated the crime. Judge
Chisolm and his son were arrested and
placed in prison at De Kalb, and Mrs.
Chisolm and daughter insisted on sha
ring their confinement. On Sunday
Judge Chisolm sent to Scooba for Gill
mer, for whom warrant had been is
sued, Gilmer came, and on his arrival
was arrested, but just as he arrived at
the Jail he was set upon by mob and
killed. The jailer was then overpow-
cred by the mob, who Immediately at
tackled Judge Chisolm, mortally woun-
ding him and killing his son. Miss
Chsolm, in defending her father, shot
and killed DR.. Rossel, and Mrs. CHS
DIM severely wounded young Gully,
son of Mr.. Gully who was assassiuated.
Miss Clisolm was also severely woun-
ded. Rosenbaum and Hopper were
carried to tho woods by the mob for
the purpose of extorting from them
the whereabouts of Rush, the alleged
assassin of Mr.. Gully. When last
heard from, some weeks ago Bush was
in Arkansas. 1t is supposed that Ro-
senbanm and Hopper were hanged.

The company have secured the graded
road south of Alexandria, extending to
the Atchafalaya, dc miles of which is
graded, leaving gap of 90 miles be-
tween Holmesville and Lecomte. The
work in this gap is light and the COM
pany intend grading at once. This
will give 66 miles of graded road south
OF Alexandria, and with the so miles
of road graded north of Alexandria.
will make 1l6 miles of road ready for

the complaint-always unfounded in
fact-that the terminus of the road was

The BastinadO.

at. H." writes 81 am boiling over
with indignation, while reading the
account of the fearful bastinading of
the unfortunate, All Nasini, narrated
in your Pera correspondence. A few
days ago | was reading an account of
this punishment inflicted many years
since on an unfortunate Englishman.
AS many of yonr readers may not be
fully aware of the horrible nature of
this torture. l give the account in the
victims own words. I am led to ask
how it is possible that in our day such
barbarous cruelty can be perpetrated
for so small an offence as the poor
student was guilty of, and which he
so magnanimously owned7 The writer
says: 1.-THE victim was thrown fat on
his face, and his legs bent up, so that
the soles of the feet were horizontal;
the feet were held in this position by
long staff and chain. At first the
blows were moderately dealt, then
they were laid on more roughly; and
every stroke felt like the application
of red hot poker. At first the pain
was excruciating, but the feelings in
time became numb, and it was like
beating a bag of wood. 1t was SIX
weeks before he could walk even with
crutches, and for more than three years
his feet and ankles were very much
swelled, and, though twenty years had
elapsed when Unpublished this account
he still suffered. He mentions instan-
ces of the bastinado having been ap-
piled for three days successfully, and
if the person survived, the feet were
rendered useless for life; but in general
he observes, when between five hun
dred and six hundred strokes were in
fiicted death was the consequence.

MEMO,

This according to correspon.
dent, occurred at a dinner to Alexis
and Constantine at the Russian Lega
ton, Washington: "The dinner pro-
crossed as other first class meals do
until near the end, and then a huge
bowl was placed in the centre of the
table, and into this the guests poured
all that was left of the champagne,
claret, sherry, Rhine wine and bran
dy. Then each began peeling and
cutting up the fruit end tossing in
the pieces. The bowl was filed, the
contents were stirred and ladled out
in huge goblets. This was while all
parties smoked-the gentlemen ci-
CARS and the ladies cigarettes. There
followed no appearances of intoxica-
lion.

progress and material development
Many reasons have been assigned
for the unfortunate condition of the
body polite, but it is attributable
more justly to the instability of our
government, and the inefficiency OF
the officers Of the law, who in many
instances have failed signally in the
discharge of their duties. But for
tpnately for all there is now a lawful
government in Louisiana that is can
able of maintaining itself, which is
receiving the support and confidence
OF all classes of the people, and now
Tor US to return to the former condi-
tlon of our society, to re-establish
confidence, order, peace and protec-
ton for all, it is essential that iuries,
officers and Courts Of Justice should
perform faithfully and fairly their
duties, deter and punish the lawless,
uphold the law, execute its man
dates, without reference to individ-
uals, maintain its dignity, assist its
majesty and "crown it lord of all"
(Here the Judge continued at some
length in making special charges to
The Jury on various subjects which
The law required him to do.)
