TINE SOUTH.

We hnd . letter in the Chicago
1ri6wae from Capt. j. q. Wheeler, q
gentleman well known to the writer
Of this to be strictly truthful and rcli-
able. He has recently visited every
Congressional district in Texas, Ala
bama, Louisiana and Mississippi, and
has the following Of the situation
there:
81 have heard much war talk thro'
the states of Texas, Louisiana, Mississ-
ippi and Alabama. The parties who
seem to DO loudest in their war talk
are those who smelt the least gun
powder during the late war, and who
would seek some safe place in the
rear should another war come.
Twas In some of the sbulldozed"
pArishes in Louisiana, and also in
Mississippi. The real state of affairs
In those states during the last election
Will never be known. 1t can't be
written even where the witnesses can
bo found who dare risk their lives in
making known what they saw. The
Northern people are not to blame for
not believing these stories Of South
ern outrages. They are 80 different
from what has ever happened any
where in the North, that 1t doubtless
looks impossible and improbable to
them. Elections in Louisiana, Ala
hanna and Mississippi have come to
be farce SO far as free expression
Of opinion at the ballot box is con-
cerned. To show you one instance in
Mississippi, Col. Shaughnessy ran for
Congress in the jackson district.
There were 1000 voters registered,
Of which number there were 1880
republican majority on fair cleo
ton. The democratic candidate was
Selected" by LOCO majority, and the
votes counted were $4,000, showing
5000 votes in excess Of the registra-
tion books,-all managed by demo-
cratic election officers. The demo-
crats only claim . majority Of about
$1,000 in Mississippi, but the major
tiles vera figured up by the editor
OF republican paper, and he found
over 81 900, showing that they were
actually ashamed to claim the major
ity they got through fraud and intim-
idation.
The Eliza Pinkston case in Louis
lana, first reports of which were true,
10 but one Of the many similar cir
cumstances which happen on account
Of elections in the Southern
states. They charge fraud on the part
Of the republicans, but the question
naturally arises, "How much fraud
10 necessary to carry these states by q
small majority for the republicans,
when IN previous elections it has been
demonstrated that with fair election
the states are republican by majorities
running from 10,00Ot to SCOOP" The
fhct d, these southern rebels are de.
tefmined 70 obtain possession of the
southern states ut all hazards, and
they were fully aware it could only
be done by Illuminating the colored
voters. This they have done most
e1ectually,-and the colored voters
have been compelled TO vote the
democratic ticket or be ku-kluxed or
killed. The returning board of LOU
isianA did right and acted according
to the law Of the state under which
they were appointed, when they de-
clared the result of the election in
favor Of the republicans

vME llllMoss seMAroR.

The Legislature of Illinois convenes
On the 9TH Of JAN, and one Of the
most important questions coming be-
fors that body, will be the election of
. United States Senator, in place of
Gen. John A. Logan.
The democrats have the Senate and
the republicans the House, in each
case by small majoritics, some six in
dependents having the balance Of
power In the joint convention. OF
these six independents, Ave are of
republican antecedents, and it is ex-
pected that the republicans will have
. small working majority on joint
ballot.
There are at least dozen Senate
rial candidates on each side contest
Ing for Senator Logan's place, but
from oil the information we can ex-
tract from our Illinois exchanges, we
are inclined to the opinion that Logan
win be elected as his own successor.
He represented a southern Illinois
district when the war broke out, that
had given him eighteen thousand
democratic majority for Congress,
He was the idol Of his party and Sec
don, and could have controlled the
Same and remained . democratic
member indefinitely. But when the
war broke out, he hesitated not one
moment but cast his great talents and
energies ON the side of the Union,
and It is, perhaps, not too much to
SAY that he was the most serviceable
and distinguished officer the war de-
veloped from among the volunteer
soldiers.
A great soldier, an eloquent orator
and tried statesman, the people of
Illinois should return him to the SEN
ate, II they consulted their cwn inter-
esta. He would certainly go back
without opposition, if the views of
republicans all over the Union were
consulted.
We believe that Logan and Burn
side are the only ex-officers on our
aide in the Senate, at any rate the
only ones who acquired prominence
In the service, while the confederates
have the following ex-Major Generals
elected and serving in that body that
We can call to mind, to-wit: Harris,
Morgan, Gordon, Naxey, Withers,
Key, (Lieut, Col) Butler, Ransom
Coekerel, Coke, Price, Davis and
johnston.

crate Congress absolutely monopo.
lie the Senate at Washington, il
would b well enough to keep at least
one or two officers in the Senate who
distinguished themselves in fighting
to save, instead Of fighting to destroy
the government.

CLEVELAND, Jan. 2.-No bodies
were reported to-day, at Ashtabula,
and with the exception of Alex Mum
roe, of SOmervillc, Mass, who lies at
the Culver House in critical condi-
ton, the wounded are doing well.
Robert c. Mcintyre, conductor of
the l.. s. & M. S. railroad, at the
coroner's inquest this morning, testi-
fed that when the accident occurred
he was walking near the bridge !;
was one of the first to arrive at the
wreck. The fire spread with great
rapidly. Citizens used every exer-
ton to prevent the spread of the
flames but were baffled in their at
tempt by the fierce wind.
James L. Porter, who was early on
the ground, says steamer with prop
err management could have gained
control of the fire. In very few
minutes after it started, witness
heard conductor say there were one
hundred and sixty passengers on
board the train. The conductor tes-
titled yesterday there were but 13l.

The Dead Being Recovered Forty
Now Found--As Many More In
the Wreck

CLEVELAND, Dec. 3O.-Officials of
the Lake Shore railroad have ar
rived at Ashtabula, and are doing
every thing to clear away the debris
of the wrecked train. It is hoped
that arrangements will be made for
the transfer of a limited number of
passengers tonight. The work of
removing the bodies from the wreck
is still going on. Forty have already
been brought out and there are still
evidences of as many more under the
debris. 1t is impossible to identify
more than three of the bodies, all the
rest are burned, charrcd and black
ened beyond recognition.

could take q leap. from so great a
height and live, yet number escaped
comparatively unframed, and had il
not been for the fire probably not one
third would have been lost. The
water in the creek is only about 3
feet deep. 1t is thought that when
it is dragged a number of bodies may
be found.
A stock drover is another witness
as to the rapidity with which the fire
did its work. He says he was one of
the first out of the wreck, and min
utcs had not elapsed before the whole
thing was a flame.
The railroad officers did all'in their
power for the alienation of suffer-
ing. They also seemed anxious that
the facts should all be published, and
desired to suppress nothing. Every
facility possible was given represent
tatives Of the press to get to the bot
tom facts in every instance.

of the injured left Ashtabula at :15

The following paragraph is from
. narrative of Levi Smith, who was
with the paroled British prisoners.
It was published by the Roval Ga
zette of South Carolina, April 18th,
1852:
1--WE arrived at Mr.. George Ano.
runs plantation on the 18th of May,
1881, when the fort at Fridays Ferry,
which had been previously invested
for some time, surrendered upon cap
itulation. The terms were that the
regulars and militia should be- treat
ed alike, and that they should be sent
to Charleston upon parole. The next
day, in the afternoon, the prisoners
were ordered to be sent to General
Greene's camp, which was upon the

ton was committed. An officer Of the
State troops, said to be Colonel Wade
Hampton, who formerly kept q store
had conceived . pique against an old
gentleman named Dawkins, one of the
prisoners, and hired one Of his own
soldiers to shoot him as he passed in
the ranks. The fellow, whose name
was Burke, an Irishman, and who had
resided many years in North Caroli-
na, stood by the side of the road,
watching for an opportunity to fire al
Mr.. Dawkins, but seeing 1t would be
difficult to get him by himself, AS they
marched in files, determined to take
the first opportunity to kill him at
any rate; therefore, as soon as Mr.,
Dawkins came abreast of him he fired
and killed him and John Wharty, the
man who marched by his side, the
bullet passing through them both
and wounding . woman who stood
at little distance"
There are plenty of ex-soldiers Of
Iowa who know of the fact that Wade
Hampton's men killed and mutilated
prisoners captured from Blair's 18th
Corps, usually cutting their ears of
and pinning placards to their persons
writing on them "Death to all for
ayers" Col. Nichols, of Sherman's
staff, author of "Sherman's March Il
the Sea-" says that twenty-five o.
these slaughtered and MANNED mer
were found one day in ravine dur
ing the march to the sea.
That chivalric business, however
was somewhat incontinently brough
to an end when Frank Blair entered
