suited in the death OF Sell Howell,
general Southern agent of the
Piedmont air line, and A. T. Win
berry a merchant of Coffeeyille,
Miss. The origin of the difficulty
is rs follows: Ed. Howell, brother
OF Sell, who is "a sleeping car con-
ductor on the n. o. St. l.. and g..
railroad, in coming over the road
Monday had as passengers b. F.
Townsend, lawyer,and Wimbelly,

put their feet OH the cushions OF
the seats, aud being demonstrated
with by Ed. Howell, Wimberly
struck him. Howell, being OH duty

arriving ntlle city the Howells met
Wimberly and Townsend on the
corner of st. Charles and Common,
when pistols were drawn and abouI
Il dozen shots fired, resultingi in the
death OF Sell Howell aud Wimberly.

OF the subject Of II constitutional
convention. Frankly, We will reply,
We think it is about time TO super,
cede the instrument cOntrived by
the aliens who controlled the SO
called constitutional convention of
1868, with an organic law framed
by anu for the people. W,
have not time to give the reasons
for the faith that is in us, and don t
propose to agltate the subject at
present to any great extent to the
neglect Of other topics, but really
it is time for the people of Missis-

southern states.
We believe III the doctrines of
the democratic party, AS formulated
by Jefferson; as platGUrmed by con
veutions prior to the dastardly new
departure; as understood ut heart
10y nine out of every ten followers
of the party flag. We believe in
State sovereignty; that this Federal
Union is IA union of consent; and
that the commemorative which
created it have one and all of the
rights set forth in the resolutions
of '9S and '99. We believe in the
financial principles laid down by
the democi attic party before the
war; that the United States bonds
should be taxed; that national
banks should he abolished, aud
that the ShrrmanIc resumption
policy Was and still is ruinons. We
believe that bull-doziug, ballot-hox
stutflng and similar cOntrivances
to ~vitiate the public will, are, in
the highest degree, C iminal, and
that nothing should be lett undone
To bring the perpetrators to justice
in local State-tribunals. We be-
lieve that the one man power is the
sum of all that is bad in politics.
We believe in law, tolerance, lib
erty, and public tranquility. WE
have never departed one hairs
breadth from the democracy of he
constitution; from the democracy
ot Jefferson; from the democracy
of the masses of our party.
