Meridian Mereury.l
1t was generally Known here yesterday,
and TO some parties the day before, that the
real assassin of John w. Gully had been ar
rested in Tennessee and was brought down
Thursday night to Scooba- The streets
were filled with rumors. but well substan-
tiated facts were meagre. 1t seemed 20 pc
anegro. one Walter Riley. an old resident
of Kemper county. About six years ago
this negro wavlaid and shot and killed BOD
Dabbs, in DeKalb. and ran of and has not
been seen since. At this writing we know
norhing of the evidence upon which bus ar
rest has been based for the murder of Gully
The first theory that Ben Rush had slipped
into the couatry and committed the mdrderi
has long since been exploded by satisfactory
evidence of his being in Arkansas at the
time; and the mystery of lt has been per-
picking.

EXTRACT FROM Ex-JUDGE Z. STAFFORD 8
LETTER IN THE BRooKHAvEN CoMET.l
The Repuhublcan party which carr led
the State in 1869 by nearly 10000 majority
has been utterly routed and overthrown
just exactly how the thing was done, has
never vet transpired. 4 ''revolutiou"-for
it was nothing else-was inaugurated in
1875 in which nearly the entire white pep
ulation of the State participated. Charges
were preferred against the party in power !;
some of them were false, others alas TOO
true. The white people organized thoroughly
throughout the Suite. the Democratic Con-
sentative party. Some Republicans Joined
in the opposition. while others remained
inactive: the revolution became a success.
and the Republican party was overthrow.
What was done by the Democratic LegiSIa-
ture of 1876, you have all undou btedlv
heard. The Ames government was deposed
and provisional Democratic executive de
partment installed. The election OF last
wear was held under the auspices of the new
State government. and the result looks very
much like the ratification of the revolution
of 1875. This is brief statement of politi-
cal facts which have occurred in the State
in the last two years. What share the coll
ored peOple-who " ere nearly all Republic
canS-h4Ve had in bringing about this
change, seems difficult to determine. With
their large maj Drity in the State, one of two
propositions must be true-there has been
some very heavy voting by them OF the
Democratic ticket, or some very SkillfuI
counting by the managers OF elections. Let
us as assume that the first proposition is The
! true one, and that large numbers of colored
men voted the Dem Ocratic ticket. Ii they
did it of their free will and choice, it was
their right TO do it, and no mtn who appre-
| ciates fully u free ballot will gainsay the
| proposition.
