1t will be seen by reference to an
other place in our columns that the
above named distinguished gentlemen
will address the citizens of Lincoln
at this place, on Friday, October the
18th. 1t is useless for us to say any
thing in behalf of Maj. B,rksdale;
he is too we'll known to require an in
PRODUCTION at our hands, We will say,
however, that the people of Mississippi
owe Maj. B~arksdale a debt of gratitude
which Is hard for them to pay. When
the Philistines were upon-and the
darkness of political vice and ignor-
ance enveloped rs, he stood like the
Horatii at the Bridge, with barred
breast. fighting the enemies of his peo-
pie. For this. Mississippians can nev>
err forget him. Would it not be we'll to
have a big barbecue on that day, and
invite Mr.. Lamar to also deliver an adj
dress. When here at the commence
ment, at Whitworth College, he prom
ised to return ut some near future
time. Who will take the initiatory in
this matter?

On the night of the meeting Of the
National Democratic Committee in this
city, allusion was made in this CORES
ponlepce to the distorted accounts of
its proceedings that were certain to lie
sent from hence. A simple of those
distortions is the recital OF a difficulty
alleged to have occTrr d between Mr..
Thompson of Ohio aud Mr.. Ross of
New jersey, growing out. as Is nsser-
ted of the determination of the friends
of Judge Thurman TO sacrifice Ewing IN
order to secure Thurmnn's T. election

son of mo l~eratinn and fairness which
characterized its course during the
period that it was laboring to elevate
Mr.. Greeley to the Presidency. In re-
gard TO the meeting of the Democratic
Committee your correspondent can
state, on authority. that the entire
meeting was harmonious, cordial and
pleasant that there was unanimous o
c~urreuce OF opinion and. sentiment
among all the members present; there
was no d~issensiou no dispute, and not n
breath that could Indicate even a suspi-

Suppose some Republican, Or. Ben
net, Capt. Hoskins or Col. Deason, al
elegant gentlemen and good citizens,
but known to be Republican, should
take a sudden notion about three days
before the election to run for Repre-
sentative, wouldn't he stand about the
best chance of any man il the field Of
being elected? Yes; and while the
election of a Republican might mol
prove a public calamity, it wonld
teach the Democratic voters of this
county, who have allowed their preju-
dice to run away with their judgment,
a sound and wholesome lesson.
The Republicans Of Lincoln now
have the power to elect every Officer, in
the county, and If they don't take adj
vantage of the occasion, they are a
bigger set Of fools than we have ever
believed them. They have men in this
county competent to fill the offices,
there is no use to deny that, and we
shall not be surprised If they are
brought out and elected. If they fail to
profit by this golden opportunity, they
will evince a greater spirit of magma
nimity than any other class Of men
would show under like circumstances.
Gentlemen, the field Is open and pas
ture inviting. Come out and make 1t
interesting for the "open field and fair
fight" Democrats.

The News that Takes.

We are panied to 0 it, but it
is a solem fact that the news of the
comparatively idiotic performances of a
bakers dozen of professional tramps in
New York sells more copies of the even.
ing paper than the chaste, eloquent and
patriotic address of the President at a
pumpkin show. Of course, this ought
not to be so, Of course the myriad-min>
ded public onght to overlook with scorn
and contempt the unmeaning walking
match aud rush with avidity to seize
and devour the utterances of a patriotic
President, even though he hold his Of
fee by a fraudulent title But the
people of st. Louis, who crowd the bul
ietin boards of the Post>D Dispatch to
read the score and eagerly buy the first
copies of the paper for the latest de-
tails. are as Indifferent to great ques-
tions, as the people of New York. who
have the score furnished by the ticket
at the banks and offices, and announc-
ed between the acts at the theaters. =

Our neighbor OF the Summit Sentinel
thinks that the Senatorial contest in
this District is in too great a mnddlc
for ordinary politicians TO solve, and
suggests as the only practicable solu-
ton a "free race for the candidates.
This, we believe, is the only plan that
will be satisfactory to the voters of the
district. as the convention proposed to
be held upon the 1st Monday in Octo :.
ber-as fixed by the proceedings pnb>
lishel in another column-can have no
binding force upon the voters of the
District.
Let the candidates them
selves to the voters of the District,
and let them pass upon their claims on
the day of election. We want no
clark horses" in the race. Lat every
thing be open and "above board

Alb, no; and that '~'accounts for the
milk in the cocoanut." The above ex
plains the "trne in war,lness" of the
Intelligencer's articles. Welt, as much
was suspected before. The generosity
of our Pike county co-temporaries
strikes US as being entirely too great.
There is too much selfsacrifce III it.
Now that two counties have instructed
for a Lawrence county man, and there
being no chance for Pike county to get
the nomination, our respected friends
come forward and demand a free race.
How will that do for check? Excuse
Lawrence and Lincoln, If you please.
You are very kind and your generous
offer is highly appreciated, but-plcase!
excuse us.
Let MS see. Was not Pike the first
county in the district TO nominate a
candidate for Senator? If our memory
is not defective. a primary election Was
held in that county aud among other
officers a candidate was nominated for
Senator. Yes, and the Pike county
papers have his name flying from their
mast heads. Surely, Pike would not

But suppose the two members to be
elected are Republican, the Democrats
will still have a majority of mi over
all opposition. 1t is probable that a
Democrat will be seated in place of
Orth. Republican of Indiana; and a
Democrat will contest a Republicans
sent from Wisconsin. possibly success
fully. In the event this is done, the
Democratic majority will be three over
all opposition. granting that the MEM
Der to be elected from New York will
be Republican. The Democrats can ais
ways count on a majority of the Green
hackers. Of the twelve Greenback
members. Stevenson of Illinois, Ladd
Of Maine, and Wright of Pennsylvania,
are of positive Democratic antecedents;
Lowe of Alabama and Jones of Texas
are also old Democrats, but against the
ruling Democracy of the South, and
not likely to unite with the Democracy
on any vital t, st issue. De La Matyr
of Indiana was elected by q Democratic
fusion with the Greenback men. but is
deiantly Independent Of both the old
parties, aud Murch of Maine occupies
much the same position. Both are of
Democratic procilvities. if they have
any lingering sympathy with either of
the old parties; but neither would mars
shall under a Democratic partisan ban-
ner. Weaver and Gillette of Iowa,
Forsythe of Illinois, and Ford of Mis-
souri, may be classed as more antagon-
istic to the Democrats than to the Re-
publicans, and Yocum of Pennsyl yania
seems to have lost the trust of both
parties by trying to barter with both.
For all practical purposes. the Demo-
( Gratis are likely to have a majority of
from ten to twelve over the Republi-
cans.
Should the election of a President
be thrown in the House, that body at
present would give the Republican cam
didate nineteen States; the Democrats
eighteen. Indiana is equally divided
between the Democrats and Republi~
cans, and De La Matyr, Greenbacker,
holds the balance of power. But when
the House is organized, Orth will prob
able be elected and a Democrat seated
in his place, thus giving the State to
Democrats. Then a Democrat contest
ant may be seated from Wisconsin,
thus giving each party four members,
and merchandising the State.
From the above it will be seen that
the Democratic party will have a MAJ
jority in the House of Representatives,
and that our party has the power to
count in the President even should the
election lie thrown in the Lower House.
The Democratic outlook is decidedly
encouraging.

Yaxoo Murder Case.

CHICAGO, September 24.-The Times
of to morrow will contain a .~six~colnmu
article on the murder, of Dixon by
Barksdale in Yazoo County. Miss. 1t
was prepared by a member of the
Times CORPS, who was sent down to
attend the Chisolm murder trial. and
was subsequently set to work to get at
the truth Of the Yazoo affair. The arr
ticle gives accounts of both Dixon's
friends and enemies, and the cenclu-
sion reached is that there is no doubt
whatever that Dixon was a gambler. a
murderer and probably a thief; that he
was the leader of bulldozers in 1875,
when the Democrats carried the State
by force; that he hanged seven negroes
during that campaign of two months;
that he became anIndependent because
the Democrats would not have him any
longer; that he grossly and wrongfully
slandered Barksdale's sister aud mother
and that If Barksdale had not killed
him for personal reason, some n else

THE Gear is so constantly in dread
of ASA ssination that his mind has be-
come almost unhinged. He is plunged
into the deepest dependency, scarcely
speaking to a ny one, and avoiding all
company. He looks with suspicion up
on everyone. The Nihilists continue
their systematic use of the torch all
over the empire. They have adopted
a course that is fast undermining the
the government. The army is turned
into a vast police force, and then, so
great is his distrust of this army OF
tyrants, that he has other men set to
watch the army.

daughter of one OF our prominent citl-
zens ut her school. Schuyler repre-
sented to the girl that he wes III the
employ Of her father, who had been ins
iured by the fall of a building, and
desired to see her. She accompanied
Schuyler to the place whore he said
her father was lying, and as the two
entered the room he locked the door
ard told the girl she was his prisoner
until money had been paid him. He
then forced her 10 copy the following
mart Of a letter to her father, which he
had written:
Dear papa. I ask you to give this man
$500, for unless he raises that sum
within a week he is ruined. He pledges
YOU his word and honor. that IL shall

At this point the girl stopped writing
and begged to be released, promising to
raise the required snm and bring 1t to
him. On her swearing to never dis
close what had happened she was re-
leased and yesterday told the story.
Schuyle Ter was arrested and confessed
his crime to-day.
On his person was found n letter to
the father of the girl, stating in snb-
stance that he had his son Willie, who
is six years old, in custody. and would
release him on payment of 5000. and
if not, forthcoming. the child would be
drowned.

JUDGE T. A. MAGEE of Franklin was
nominated for the State Senate for the
Senatorial District composed of the
counties of Jefferson and Franklin. We
can say without disparagement to bis
opponents, that the convention could
not have selected a purer or better man
as the standard bearer of the party III
the district, than Judge Magee. He is
man of fine sense, mature judgment,
and has an intimate knowledge of the
wants of the people, besides he is al
ways to be found on the side of law and
order. He will be elected.

ONO is a decidedly close State. The
average Republican vote of the last five
elections-and these are the elections
that afford the best view of Ohio as il
stands to-day-was two hundred and
ninety,three thousand nine hundred
and seventeen; the average Democratic
vote, two hundred and ninety-three
thousand eight hundred and fifty three.
Here is q difference of only sixty~fonr
votes. There is not a State in the
Union, we venture to say, that will
show in the course of Eve years figures
as close as these.
