The Greenbackers are, after alt,
getting their eyes open to the prop
sr way of defeating Radicalism and
securing the changes they desire
in the financial administration of
ihe country. They see the folly OF
further attempting success through
third organization, and in Ohio
nearly all the leading Greenbac kers
have taken the stump for Gen. Ew-
ing, the Democratic candidate for
Govssaor. Henry @. Baird, Sam
mel Il. Mason, their late candidate
for Governor in Pennsylvania, and
David Kirk, candidate for Congress
In one of the Allegheny districts
last fall, expect 10 join their Green
blck brethren of Ohio on the stump
for Gen. Ewing, and if the two par
ties thus combined in Ohio cannot
squelch the aspirations of Citizen
Foster and the bankers and rings
that back him, it will be a very
queer thing. This movement of the
GreenbLc. e,s 10 the most sensible
one We have ever known them to
make. and if they stick to it in good
faith they will find it is the true

MISSISSIPPI ITEMS.

At the soldiers reunion on thu
4lh OF July, at Meadville. the battle
flag OF the Eighteenth Mississippi
Regiment was exhibited.
Kemper Herald: A friend of ours
remarked at Lauderdale Springs
last Thursday, that if George Wash.
ingtOn was resurrected he could not
beat Col. Singleton in his district
This remark was made by Dustin
| guished citizen of this State, and
was high compliment to Col. SIM
gletOn, for it goes to show that in
his own district, where he Is best
known, his ability and honesty
place him ahead of any one.
The Natchez Democrat tells of the
premedItated, cold>blooded murder
OF young man named Davidson
by one Brannan, in Wilkinson cOun-
ty. Davidson was working for
Brannan, aud the latter, on pres
tence of shooting sgnil re1s, got the
young man to go with him, and
then killed him, firing fifteen buck
shot into him. His body was car
ried into the woods by a negro, and
covered up. Brannan and the ne>
gro are in Jail. The killing was the
result of Irregularities of Davidson
and Brannan's wife, their intimacy
having become the talk OF the
ighhorhOOd.
Forest Register, 3Oth: We are
glad to know that our people in
Scott favor Singleton for the SEN
ate. They appreciate his integrity
and ability, and if it was in their
power he would be elected to the
seat to which he aspires without
hardly an opposing voice On
Saturday night hast, an affray took
place between some colored people
residing on Lick Skillet hill, which
proved to he quite serious. 1t
seems that Sam Harper, notorious
negro scamp, went to PeytOn
Halse's house and commenced fuss
ing, and Peyton ordered him cut
this Sam did not like, and he drew
his knife and went for Peyton, cut
ting him severely in the breast. He
then went for Pryton's fife, cutting
her. May and Sam Williams were
also cut by him. He was arrested
on Sunday morning by our marshal
and put in Jail, and the same mora-
ing he priced up IA plank in the floor
of the Jail and made his escape. We
hope he has gone to Kansas or TO
some other place far distant from
Forest.

THE people of Yazoo county were
not willing to run the risk of hav-
ing for Sheriff a man who had open.
Iy b0asted that neither himself nor
any of his friends should ever be
convicted by Yazoo jury. If he
possessed such power as this as a
private citizen, what could he not
have done with the machinery of
the Sheriff's Office in his handsf 1t
WAS this thought that caused the
people to demand Mr.. Dixons with
drawal from the canvass. The his
tory of Sheriff Manning's despotism
in Tunica county, aud other similar
instances, prove the wisdom OF their
determination.
