League in Yazoo County, Mississippi,
has quarreled with his party associates,
and is making canvass as an inde-
pendent Demo-Confed. candidate for
Sheriff. His pponents-formerly his
friends-charge him with having had q
hand in the murder and robbery of
Mr.. Patterson, the Republican candi-
date for the Legislature in 1875. The
County of Yazoo had been overwhelm-
ingly Republican on an honest vote.
In 1873 the vote was Republican 2,499,
Democratic 638; and at the Presidential
election of 1872 it stood, Grant, l, ,433 to
Greeley 922. But in 1875, under the
influence of the shotgun, bulldozer and
ballot-box-stuffers, it voted Demo-Con-
fed. 4,044 to votes for the Republican
ticket! The Republican candidate for
the Legislature, as stated, was robbed
and murdered, and the Demo Confeds.
now charge part of the double crime on
the aforesaid Dixon. Dixon kept the
money. Whereupon he retorts as fol-
lows:
A GARD TO THE PUBLIC-Owing to
certain reports now in circulation that
Patterson, a member of the Republican
Legislature, who was hanged in the
eventful campaign of 1875, had a con-
siderable sum of money on his person,
and that said money was used for my
own benefit, feel in honor bound to
vindicate myself, although l deplore to
refer to the past, as it will bring before
the public many of our best citizens. 1
will briefly state that said money, and
larger sums were raised to defray the
current expenses of the campaign, and
TO stuff the 6Gllot-bores, if necessary, to
purchase certificates of election for tao
officers eoUO holding offices of trust and
entoII1bent in our county. l have in
possession the necessary proof, and if
called on will furnish It.
H. M. DIXON"
Here is the whole programme set
forth by the leader Of the play. MUIR
der, robbery, Misunderstanding, and
the fraudulent seating of officers are
all coolly set forth like items in an ac-
count current, and all laid at the door
of many of our best oitlgens." The
murder and robbery of the Republican
candidate is described as raising the
money" to defray current expenses of
the campaign, such as stuffing ballot
boxes and purchasing certificates of
election! This is the way the State of
Mississippi was carried for the Dem
Ocratic ticket and Lamar made Senator.

A Son of the Late General Pillow has a
Narrow Escape from Death in Arkansas.

Mr.. Robert G. Pillow (son of the late
General Pillow, who is now running a
plantation over in Arkansas, and who
came over yesterday to take look at
the Fourth of July, had narrow es-
cape from death not long since. Ac-
companied by Aleck, one of the colored
men of the place, he was out hunting a
wild hog that had been in the vicinity.
Mr.. Pillow had gun, and Aleck had
armed himself with a pint bottle filed
with whisky. The hog was found and
shot, and just as Mr.. Pillow went up to
the writhing animal, an immense cot
ton-mouth snake, whose bite is as fatal
as that of rattlesnake, fastened its
fangs on the calf of his leg.
AS his Memphis friends know, Bob is
not easily frightened. He took in the
situation in a moment, and instead of
exhibiting alarm he turned to his COM
panion and quietly remarked: +" "Aleck,
think I'll try a little of that whisky,
now," whisky being considered an in
fallible remedy. He poured every drop
down his throat without stopping to
venture any remarks as TO quality.
Then, shouldering his gun, he rapidly

three ordinary glass tumblers filed
with whisky.
"Of course it itstupefied youp" chimed
in Memphis friend to whom he was
relating the facts. "Of course it
didn't" was the reply. "Idon't know
how it happened, but so far as intoxi-
eating effects were concerned, the stuff
had no more influence than water. But
it induced regular Niagara Falls of
perspiration, which rapidly expelled
the poison and the wound healed and
gave me no trouble. A day or two aft
erward, however, was the sickest boy
in Eastern Arkansas. had swallowed
enough to kill half dozen unsnake-
bitten fellows"
Bob's appearance justified the COM
ment that he had experienced no per-
manent injury from the bite of that ter
ror of Southern plantations, the dreaded
cotton-mouthed snake. ke.-NenphiS AUG-

A Wonderful Escape,

Henry Shin, nine years old, is in st.
Vincent's Hospital suffering from in
juries sustained by falling distance of
eighty feet to the street from the roof of q
fve-story tenement house in Elizabeth
street, near Grand. A more wonderful
escape from death has seldom been
chronicled. The lad lives at No. 103
Elizabeth street, one Of row of tene-
ments, and was flying kite when he
fell. Not satisfied with his position on
the roof, he clambered to the top of a
chimney on the north wall of the row,
which overlooks a two-story building
adjoining. This building has slant
ing roof, covered with states, and is
about thirty-tive feet in height. On the
ground floor there is an entrance for
trucks to pass in at the rear. When
Henry lost his balance and fell from the
chimney top there was team of horses
standing Just outside this entrance fac
ing the street, and attached to truck
within. With a heavy thud the boys
body struck the slate roof forty-fye feet
below, smashing several of the states,
and making perceptible indentation.
From the spot where he struck he rolled
to the edge of the roof and down toward
the pavement, another headlongj journey
of thirty-fve feet. Instead of 6Sshing
his brains out against the stone pave
ment, as might have been expected, the
boy struck between the heads of the
team of horses, fell upon the truck-pole,
and, after vibrating upon it few sec
onds, dropped softly to the ground. He
was sensible when picked up, and did
not seem frightened at all at his fearful
experience. His forehead and the back
of his head were cut and his body
severely bruised. None of his bones
were broken, however, and it is thought
he has escaped any serious internal in
jury.-M Y Herald.

Secret information.

DURING the time of war messages
have been transmitted in many curious
ways. The intelligence which enabled
Cyrus to overthrow the Median mon
archy, was conveyed in the body of a
hare sent him as present. The insti-
gator of the IonIan revolt against Per-
sia, sent his agent trusty slave, with
verbal orders to shave his head, when
the necessary instructions appeared
traced ON the skin beneath. During
Mohammed's wars letters of this kind
were frequently plated in the long
hair of female slaves. The medieval
fashion of writing in ink which only be-
came visible when held to the fire is
well-known; but Cardinal Richelieu
surpassed even this by his device of a
dispatch whose alternate lines made an
entirely different sense from that of the
letter as whole. During the French
war an important letter was concealed
in roasted crab. Warren Hastings,
when blockaded in Benares by Cheyte
Singh, apprised the English army of his
situation by dispatches written upon
rolled-up slips of parchment, which his
messengers carried in their ears, in
stead of the quilts usually worn there.
A story that sounds Munchausenish,
states that French spy, in 1870, car
ried Photographic dispatch through
the German lines in the hollow of his
false teeth! Human ingenuity is almost
limitless when a great object is to be
gained.

The War Democrats.

We hear a great deal nowadays about
the services of the Democrats in the
Union army during the war. To read
some of our Ohio exchanges CredulOus-
ly, one would be persuaded that most
of the boys in blue were Democrats. No
honest or sensible man will ever by
word or deed seek to disparage the her.
oism of the war Democrats who held
their patriotism above party fealty and
fought against the Southern wing of
their party to save the Nation from di-
vision and ruin. 1t is not to the dis
credit of those Union Democrats that
they were so few compared with the
RcpupllCans III me ederal service, ana
it is no honor to their memory when
political demagogues try to distort the
facts for partisan purposes. The fact
is that the proportion of Republicans
and Democrats in the Union army was
about six to one. There are various
statistics to support this statement, but
none perhaps more direct and convin-
cling than the returns of the soldiers
votes cast in the field at various times
during the war and counted in the cleo
tions of their respective states. A par
tial list of these votes makes the fol-

It is a matter Of current report that
the only Ohio regiment which gave a
majority for Vallandigham was the one
commanded by General Americus v.
Rice, the present Democratic candidate
for Lieutenant Governor. Posterity will
forever honor the loyalty and patriot
ism of the Democrats who fought against
the Confederacy, but history will not
fail to record that it was the Republic

movement, organized and sustained the
