THE ITEM AND THE RED WARRIORS.

To the Editor Of the Democrat:
wrote you ON the fourteenth, urging you
to show up the Red Warrior sheet on Natchez
Alley, and [ see that the Item men seek to
dodge the charge that they were the apollo
gists for "Know Nothings" in the last cam
paign, by claiming to have been the organ of
the Citizens Conservative Association, thus
trying to steal into respectable company. It
was notorious that some Of Its principal at
taches were chiefs Of the .Red Warrior gang
and II you will search the last grand jury
records you will find that they were carried
on the Custom House rolls; also thats they
were in daily and nightly conference with the
Radical chiefs, as | stated on the fourteenth
1t Is but an act Of justice to say that the party
or parties referred to did not include Mr.. JAS
j. Lea, CUSTOM House reporter; and men
ton this because understand MI. Lea thinks
the charge directed at him.
The publication made at the time that the
Item was the organ Of the Citizens Associa-
ton was never authorized by that committee,
and was one Of the same kidd of acts as the
| unification proclamation Offering negroes
work for supporting that organization. The
| fact was, the Citizens Association hired the
| columns of the Item for SO much money for q
certain number Of days, paid d certain
amount for it, and 1T was q cold business
| transaction, just as 1t Is now hired to advo-
cate the interests of the brokers, who are
short or ponds ana want 10 break down the
market they deserve no more credit for
sincerity now than they did when paid by the
| Citizens Association, not half-dozen Of
whom now approve the course Of the sheet.
| You bit the nail on the head Id your editorial
yesterday on the mass meeting, when you
charged the Know Nothing leaders with
working to get up the meeting. The Red
Warrior chiefs were Industrious for several
days gathering men and passing around the
| word.
One Of the chiefs OF the sixth ward invited
| A. J. Tucker to speak.
You need not think that the Red Warriors
are idle or disbanded. They meet weekly

ernment No negroes are allowed at the

lime or the vapor of sulphur has been greatly

tual experiment In the sugar-house has
shown that by the use OF lime alone and
In moderate quantity, q difference was OBJ
tanned Of an increase In the quantity OF
dry sugar OF from three to four hundred
pounds per hogshead as against the abuse OF

prOvements should not be adopted hastily and
without due precaution. Sugar made with
lime alone is not injured thereby, for
the refiner has within his control various
means 81 neutrailzing it, and sugar thus made
retains the aroma Of the cane, so highly priced
by those who know how to appreciate it. It
Is certainly better than the adulterated sugar
of the refiners.
think the line OF Improvement in making
sugar lies more in cultivation of the cane than
In machinery. III not found prosy would say
something more on this branch OF the subject.

store on Market street. H. is not visionary
or supersttious, but practical business young
fellow. All day Tuesday he said that he felt
oppressed as if by some vague, impending
evil-by what novelists would designate as q
presentiment. Tuesday night, be went to bis
bed at his usual hour, but his sleep WAS dis
turbed by dream, in which he plainly saw
bis brother engaged in quarrel with another
Young man of Lexington. whom he recognized
as one Arthur Murrill. After several moments
of angry gestures and apparently impassioned
words, young Murrll drew pistol and shot
Strickland in the head. He fell across table,
knocking off as be did so a bottle of wine.
upon the label of which Mr.. Charles Strick-
land saw distinctly the word champagne"
duced by his brothers fall, the dreamer awoke.
Hs was 80 much impressed by what he had
seen that he struck a match and looked at his
watch. 1t was exactly 11.30 o'clock. Not ad-
mittipg to himself that he believed that the
facts had already occurred as he saw them 10
his dream, he was, nevertheless, so much
troubled in spirit that he could sleep no more
that night. At six o'clock next morning he
received a telegram from Lexington. With
unsteady hand he tore the envelope and read,
strangely enough, that his brother had been
shot through the head BY some one unEnotcn, at
abou, hslf-past eleven o.. But we won't do
