The Recent Affair i'll Nlissis-
sippi.

JACKSON, May 1.-The following
additional account has been received
ofthe affair in Kemper county: Thurs.
day evening John N Gully, a promi>
nent citizen of Kemper county, was
asSassinated by an unknown party.
and there was intense excitement.
Every means we're resort0d to discov-
err the perpetrators. Saturday two
cOlored men made affidavit that Ben,
jamin Rust, a white man, did the
deed, and the Judge Chisolm, who
ran for Congress on the Republican
ticket in the third district at the last
election, his son, and Gilmer Rosen-
baum and Hopper, prominent white
Republicans, knew Of and instigatcd
the crime. Chisolm and son were
arrested and imprisoned at DeKalb.
MIS-. Chsolm and daughter insisted
on sharing their confinement,
On Sunday Chisolm sent to Scooba
for Gilmer, for whom a warrant had
been issued. Gilmer came, aud on
his arrival was arrested, ard Just as
he arrived at the Jail he was set upon
by mob and killed. The jailol was
then overpowered by the mob, who
Immediately attacked Chisolm, mor>
tally wounding him and killing his
son. Miss Chisolm, in defending her
father, shot and killed Dr. Rossli,
and Mrs. Ohisolm severely wounded
young Gully--a son of Gully who was
assassinated. Miss Chisolm was se>
riously wounded. Rcsenbaum and
Hopper were carried to the woods by
a mob to eXtort from them the where's
abouts Of Rust, the alleged assassin
Of Gully.
When last heard from, some weeks
ago, Rust was in Arkansas. 1t is
supposed Roscnbaum and Hopper
were hanged. 1t IS reported that Il
horrible state Of affairs exist through,
out the section, and people are wild
with excitement, and other hanging
will probably follow.

THE NEXT GOVERNOR.

The canvass for the next Cows
ernOrship may be considered as havo
ing opened. The Lexington GA
zETE says there are many conser-
vatiyes, "who under no circumstan-
ccs will support Gen. Malone" 8
Such conservatives are then to 90,
we presume, into the convention
with the understanding that they
are to have things their own way or
bolt. The matter is one that had
as well be understood at once. The
Richmond WTuG comes out in n
strong article in favor OF this very
Individual, Gen. Malone, and from
ii we make the following pointed
extract:
We have seen paragraphs inserted
in various country pRpers-sII having
common ohect-to prejudice the
publiC nina against NSh' -NAhOhS :
and these paragraphs are all diligent-
ly collected aud paraded, a. II they
had common parent. Aud we have
heard the cry from some Of these par
ties: "anybOdy to beat Malone ;" as
though all the asplrants, named and
unnamed, little and big, were 10 be
rallied aud banded, and that rally and
handing were necessary TO ensure his
dsEeSt. There is in this an implied
confession which those who make it
do not seem to be conscious of, that
Malone is the superior of any one
competitor and the equal of all put to-.
gether; or, in other words, in politics
as In numismatics, it takes ten cop
pers to make silver dime. We are
free TO say that in this these reckless
partisans do injustice to some of the
gentlemen whose cause they chRmpi-
on. But that is no excuse for tie bad
temper they exhibit; and just here it
may be added if this spirit and pro-
cess of depreciation and inuendo be
persisted in il will provoke retaliation
with interest. The friends of Gen.
Malone defy defamation. and Islander,
limited or whispered, and while dis
posed TO assail no one they leave it to
his enemies to make the fight just as
hot as they p ease.

desired to stop the prosecution.
THE AFFECTIVE SCENE.
The appearance of this stout honest
father in court and his grief, mani
tested by constant weeping while re-
citing bis story, caused all present to

and pitiful import.
When released, Mr.. Tickle found
that the man who had so terribly out

man could so easily escape arrest,
under the circumstances, is a COM

that ey are not such as would have

Nowhere are bathing habits SO peculiar as ut
Ocean Grove. An avenue quarter Of a'mile
long, and very broad and straight, leads dowh
to the shore, and many there be that walk in it
in bathing costumes. There are bathing-houscs
on the beach, but the majority of bathers go to
and from the shore in their bathing suits. The
broad avenue presents at certain times of the
day very odd sights, the most noteworthy Of
which are women and girls in sacks and trousers.
at Long Branch the bathcrs OF the getltler sex
lose no time between the shelter Of the water
and the shelter Of the shanties; but here they
saunter leisurely the entire distance Of quar-
ter Of mile or more, stop to chat with friends,
and are not, apparently, disconnected BY the
gazing OF bystanders. They are all bare-footcd,
and many are bare-legged nearly to their knees.
There is no exaggcration In this description.
The writer saw to day, in party Of bathers who
were going dripping to their tents or cottages,
three girls of from II to 20 years. whose gar
mems reached barely below their knees. They
were conforming to the fashion Of the place.
