LAW AND 0RDER.-The recent brutal murderiof Mr..

tion Of maintaining Flaw and order" If the feeling
does not go so far maintaining political rights
The "bun dozers" have turned against themselves
and it furnishes Mast opportunity for fine cartoon
on the first page Of the current number of Horpers
Weekly. In the foreground are two white men,
armed with shotguns, in the attitude of hostility
while in the background stands the typical negro in
company with Father Time and an hour glass,
calmly surveying the impending conflict. The idea
is OF course to show that when white bull dozers fall
out the negro is in fair way to get his due; that
time makes all things right
The New York Herald which has been steady friend
and defender Of the South in reference to the Yazoo
buchery calls upon the Senators and Representatives
in Congress to resign their positions or speak out
boldly in condemnation of the outrages that have
been allowed to be praetieed in that State. The
Herald takes the ground that Representatives in
Come should maintain the honor Of their State
AM Wiz .vcr they cannot rebuke barbarism and
Cics safety to their own lives they cease to be
such representatives the nation needs, and they
should retire to give place to others more brave moro
resolute, more honest

demned political attacks on the South, says:

Life at the Railroad.

Our shipping station (Clayton) presents scene of
life and animation nOw that is interesting to look
upon. The twelve peach trains besides the regular
passenger and freight trains each passing the
road twice every day, makes the intervals between
them very short So far with all this travel with
so many stations and only single track it is re-
markable that no accidents have happened. Some
two weeks ago there came near being u collision
below Middletown, bu. it was happily averted, and
with the caution that the employees exercise it is
probable that they may get through the season with
out any serious results. The masterhand that guides
directs and controls the movements of these flying
trains must be one of great precision. And then
there is the rush and hurry of constantly coming and
going peach wagons with horses mostly timid or
scared at the hustle of the passing trains but we
believe thus far without single serious accident.
