TIE CHISOLM MASSACRE A picture of
Home Rule IN Mississippi. By lAMEs M.wELIs,
Of the Internal revenue service. Second edition.
Washington, b. C.: ChsOlm Monument AssOciA.
ton,
This is q remarkable work, for the reason
that its subject and scenes relate to tho nine.
teeuth century, and to the history Of u country
and Government which profess to be estab-
lished upon the principles of freedom of opn-
ion and equal rights for 100000 of people.
1t is a history of the Chsolm massacre, one
of the most atrocious murders known to tho
history ofcivilization. The murder was COM
mitted not for the reason that the victims had
violated the laws of their country-not because
they had committed acts obnoxious to tho
welfare of society-but for the simple reason
that they held political views and relations
that werc not in accord with those Of
their murderers Two Of these victims
Gilmer and McLelan-were shot down in the
Streets while Judge Chisolm had been ar
rested aud thrown into prision on mere pre-
text, aud then while under Incarceration, and
should have been exempt from the fury of a
mob, ho WAS set upon and shot down
Us relCntessly as a wild beast while
q son and daughter who would
have saved parents life, were merci'
lessly masslcred for this act Of alial devotion.
This ID au epitome of the outrages upon which
the narrative of this volume of more than
three hundred pages Is based. Tho history Is
told with strong feeling, but without any ex
aggeration of facts, and it teaches most thrill
ing lesson to every American citizen who be
lievcs that life and liberty shall not be abridged
without due process Of law.
No family in the whole land should be with
out this history of one OF the most atrociou'
events known TO history. 1t should bo prayer
fully read, carefully ponderod-wth the view
Of full understanding Of the case Then, II

A LITTLE pertinent history regarding the
Hon. JOIN A. MCMAHON, of the Dayton
Ohio district, has been related to us which
is worth repeating, in view of the fact that
some of his claims for reelection are based
upon his alleged friendship for cx-Union
soldiers. The story goes that when Colonel
FTZHUGu was elected Doorkccper Of the
House in the Forty fifth Congress, he called
upon General BEN LEFEvRE, among Others,
for advice regarding the distribution of the
patronage of his Office. LEFEvRE had but
little to say, and casually remarked that
MCMAHON's district, in which the Home
for Disabled Union Soldiers is located re-
quired looking after. Acting upon this cas-
ual suggestion, FITZHUGH at once wrote a
telegram to the authorities of the Home,
asking them to designate two appoint
"ments " for doOrkecperships. 1t is possible
that Mr.. MCMAHON or General LEFENRE
signed this dispatch; but it is certain that
the idea of offering the positions rendered
in il TO the occupants of the Home origin
atcd with Colonel FITZIIUGH. Subsequent
ly, when the Ohio Legislature passed a res
olution condemning the bestowal of the pa
tronagc of the House upon Coniederates,
the Democratic members from that State
rose in their seats to claim all the credit due
to poor FITZHUGH for themselves.

ton. With all these the question Of
questions " Is to secure the rights that the
Constitution has promised them.

SOME people are never satisfied, even with
the results of their own efforts. Here
comes, for example, ex-senator JoHN Pool,
of North Carolina, who recommended the
selection of Judge KEY for a cabinet posi-
tion, aud complains Of the success of his
recommendation In the following rather lu-
gubrious style:
The only change, however, he has made In
the established prescription policy of the party
Is that he has seemed to add iudiRntty to in-
Jury by preferring Southern Democrats over
them in the slight participation he was just
enough to accord to the reconstru ted states
in the administration of national affairs. You
may sec how the secession Democracy avail
themselves Of this at our expense. Davis Leo,

the occasion to say that II single Southern
Republican could have been found of suii'
