Bull-DOzing.

1he Mississippi courts, MS they attempt
TO investigate the cases of bull-dOziDg in
that State, soon find how difficult it is to
arrive at the real facts. The Jackson Times
gives the following as an extract from the
report of the grand jury of Lincoln County,
recently discharged:
The grand jury have made special efforts to
investigate cases of inccndiarism and bull
doing which have occurred, and summoned
many witness, parties suspected and unsus.
pcctcd, aud were not long in discovering that
even the best citizens stood in fear Of giving
evidence freely who resided in the neghbOr-
hoods where the crimes were perpetatcd.
We were not long, however, Ia getting up
sufficient evidence to bring us to n unanimous
conclusion that each ncighbOrhOOd did its
own burning and bull-dOzng, or rather the
main leaders vino melted the crime did not
reside far from the place where the crimes
were committed. This conclusion exploded
the idea often repeated that the perpetrators
Of these crimes were q mysterious clan OF
men, VIII, travelled from distance on shod

Mr.. ELLIS, in his speech on the ACKLEN-
DARRALL contest, said What he wanted
was that Louisiana should be left alone"
This sounds very familiar to the people of
the North. We heard those words in the
winter Of 1860 and 1861. The South then
asked "to be let alone" Its leaders were
trying to destroy the Union, and all they
asked was TO be let alone" The people of
the United States did not see fit to comply
with this modest request, and by unparal-
leled eXcrtiOns the Union was preserved.
Now that the same men, actuated by the
came deyilish spirit which inspired them in
1861, are trying to undo all that was done
by the war, they once more rise in the
halls of Congress and ask TO be let alone -
The spirit of patriotism, the determination
TO preserve the Government and to protect
all its people burns as brightly in the
breasts OF the American people as it did in
1861, and we can tell these gentlemen that
they will not BE let alone" in their effort,
to destroy the Union and to Cypress por'
ton Of its people.

THE st. Louis Globe Democrat says Zone
Of the most terrible tragedies which it has
been our duty to record in many months
occurred at the Lindell Hotel yesterday
morning. Two young people, entertaining
FOR each other strong and pure affection
and denied by parental interference its
natural contamination, deliberately planned
and accomplished their own destruction in
the murder of the one and the suicide OF
the other. The evidence seems clear and
conclusive as to generalization and mutual
