GoY.sBroWn's Letter.

The letter of ex-Gov. Brown of Mississip-
pi, printed elsewhere, is excellent reading for
those Democrats who have been deluded by
the Southern-Democratic cry of free bal
lot The thing above all things that the
Democratic Southern bull-dozers and the
Northern Democratic repeaters and ballot
box-stuffers do not want is is free and hon
est ballot.
1t may be well in this connection to briefly
repeat the facts in the Yazoo outrage. 1t
grew out of an attempt to force Henry NJ.
Dixon, well-known citizen and Independ-
field, the regular Democratic nominee, to
withdraw from the ticket. An armed mob
gathered in town, and sent committee OF
six to Dixon to demand that he should inn
mediately quit his canvass and leave the
county or die. He replied that he would do
neither. A parley of six hours ensued, and
as the mob grew larger and more aggressive,
and his wife and children were with him in
the house, he finally yielded.
Capt. Dixon had been Confederate SOL
dier, and after the war was always Demo-
crat. But because he accepted a nomination
on an Independent ticket supported by many
Democrats, regular Democratic mob
gave him his choice between flight and
death. Ere he time Dixon announced
himself as '5'1.ric candidate, "sub-
ject only to slIu cnolce of the people at the
ballot-boX," the regular convention Demo-
Gratis began to organize themselves into mill
tary companies officered according to militia
ry usage. These military companies
marched to Yazoo city, and supported by a
mob, drove Dixon from the county.
This is the much-talked-of freedom OF
elections for which Democratic orators in
Congress camored last Spring. for which the
hybrid Congressman from Maine, Ladd,
voted. And not word of condemnation OF
the Yazoo plan has been seen in any Demo-
cratic paper in Maine. They content them
selves with running down business, with re-
peating exploded misstatements about the
finances, and with bawling against a law
that prevents the repeaters of Tammany
from having their own way, unmolested by
officers of the law. 1t is this Yazoo plan
which Greenbackers are asked to approve by
giving aid and comfort to the Democratic
party.
When the negro exodus caused the Mssis-
sippi planters to fear that they should lose
their laborers they met in convention atVicks-
burg and assured the negroes that intimda-
ton andTiolence should cease; that thence
ers should be discarded. Because Captain
Dixon attempted to keep these pledges he
was forced to flight The Mississippi plan
was put in practice again. And you, Green
hackers and laborers of Maine, are asked to
support that plan

A Nasty Trick.

The Greenbackers played characters
tically nasty trick at the joint discussion be-
tween Gen. James A. Hall and Mr.. Alexan-
der Troup at Etna Wednesday. The
arrangement was that Gen. Hall should
open with fifteen minutes, that Troup should
have an hour to reply, and then Gen. Hall
should conclude in forty-five minutes, after
which the meeting was to adjourn. Troup
went to Etna accompanied by Congressman
Ladd and 7. M. Plaisted. As far as Gen.
Hall and Mr.. Troup were concerned the dis
cussion was carried on in a gentlemanly way
and the agreement between them was strictly
observed. AS soon however as Gen. Hall had
concluded his closing speech 7. M. Plaisted
jumped upon the platform and began vio-
lent harangue, in which he accused Gen.
Hall of lying. He was greeted with storm
of Kisses, and even the Greenback part of
the audience manifested disgust at his inde-
cent conduct. Mr.. Troup rebuked him and
denounced his assertion that Gen. Hall lied
as not only discourteous but as untrue, He
said he had no doubt that Gen. Hall as
firmly believed all the statements he had
made as he did his. Which was right was
for the audience to judge. 1t was then an
nounced that a Greenback meeting would
be held on the ground, notwithstanding it
was the understanding between the Repub-
licans and the Greenbackers that the discus
sion should end the meeting on the ground
that day. Mr.. Troup again showed his con-
tempt for Plaisted's trickery by perempto-
rily refusing to speak at such a meeting
Nevertheless the meeting was held and
Plaisted, Ladd and Randall, of the Green
afternoon ''refuting" Gen. Halls argyll
ments.

Boston Transcript: A story comes to Cau-
seur of an incident in school in Southampton,
England, some years since. The boys were be-
ing examined in the history of England, and
the answers were mainly dates of events more
or less important in the history of the British
Empire. Among the pupils was the son of an
American sea captain, a bright specimen OF
young America. Being questioned concerning
dates in English history, he manifested an
ignorance bordering on stupidity. The teach
er, whose patience was exhausted, exclaimed,
"What! Don't you remember single date
that marks an important event in the history
of England?" "Why, yes, sir" answered the
boy, II do know Zone" "Well, out with it,.
said the teacher "The Fourth of July, 1776."
There was a decided sensation.
