rae cHIsoLu TRIAL.
what Gen. ssewars L. Wexford Says
About It.

what Gen. stewart L. wsodford Says
Gen. Stewart T.. Wcodford, of New
York, as Is generally known, accom-
panied Mrs. Chisolm to Kemper
county, Mississippi, where she went
to testify against the murderers of her
husband and children. He passed up
the road Sunday night, on his return
to New York. From a gentleman
who saw him on the train and con-
versed with him, we learn that the
General, who was present from the be-
ginning to the end of the Gully trial,
regards 1t as farce.
He says the presiding Judge was
wholly impartial, and charged the Ia W
exactly in every particular. He thinks
the District Attorney also discharged
his duties faithfully and vigorously,
doing everything in his power for a
conviction. But the jury, he thinks,
acted without any sort OF regard to the
law as charged by the court, or the
evidence had in the case. The jury
was composed of nine white Demo
Gratis, two eolored Democrats and one
colored man who Is not Democrat,
but . very weak minded man. The
county votes about twenty-five hun
ared. There are about one thousand
colored and two hundred and fifty
white Republicans in the county. But
out of all these single Republican
was on the jury, and he man who
could be easily Influenced. The jury
was out about twenty minutes
before announcing that they were
ready to render verdict, but the yer.
dict was q written one and the writing
occupied portion of the time. So il
is perfectly clear that they gave the
matter no deliberation whatever.
Gen. Woodford reports the judge
who presided al the trial as saying
that he was not surprised" at thu
verdict, but shocked" He think
that large majority of the people O
Kemper county sympathize with tn,
mob that murdered Judge Chisolm
while q few OF the more respectable
people regard the verdict as an outrag
and the trial as farce.

Death Of q Little sufferer.

A very cad death occurred about IL
o'clock yesterday, at the residence Of
Mr.. w. w. Gibson, Of this city. It
was that of little Estella, about years
of age, daughter of James Bennett,
who lives near Erin. She had been
at Mr.. Gibson's house for some days,
being treated for watermelon seed in
her wind pipe, as has been stated by
us. The seed was cut out and it was
thought the little sufferer would re-
cover, but after several days OF intense
suffering, death came to her relief,
although she had every attention pos
sible. The remains were conveyed
yesterday evening home.

FIRE |!

Ga Thursday morning about one
O'Clock the residence of Mrs. Dean
was discovered to be burning. The
house was occupied by Mrs. Dean
aud child, and the family of MIR.
Avery. The fire was we'll under
way before the sleeping inmates
awoke. Messrs. Russell and Me-
Clanahan were the first to arrive
on the scene and were fortunate
enough to extricate few pieces Of
furniture, and assist the distressed
ane frightened occupants TO escape.
Our gallant firemen made haste TO
get to the confagratiOn but arrived
too late to prevent the entire de-
struction of the house. We learn
that Mrs. Dean had insurance for
$1,000. Mr.. Avery had no insur-
ance. Wash Powell (col.) fell
while coming back from the fire and
was run over by the engine. His
injuries were severe, but not
serious. The fire originated in the
kitchen, It is supposed from IA box
of ashes which were. taken up during
the day.
