An Efectual Remedy.

1t will be impossible to keep the
"bIOOdy shirt" out of the next Presi-
dental campaign unless the leading
men of the South protest against the in
timidatiOn of voters. 1t is useless for
the Democratic papers to retOrt that
there is virtual intimidation of labor
ing men in their rights of suffrage by
mentioned beside the shotgun argu-
ment of the chivalry, which no one has
the affrontery now to deny, and all will
soon be ashamed to even apologize for.
1t is notorious that there is deliber-
ate coercion of large party in the
SOuth-mainly black, to be sure, but
nevertheless men who have a right to
vote. To conceal this gigantic wrong
the cry of state rights and military in
reference is raised. When the leading
white men of the South insist that the
colored man shall have his political
rights, instead of forcibly denying
them, then this matter of military in
reference and state rights bosh will all
vanish.

Not a Candidate.

We well remembe the prediction of a
Union sOldier,-made after the lenient
treatment of Rebels at the close of the
war,-that jeff. Davis would some day
be President of the United States. This
absurd and prepOsterous statement is
brought, to mind by reading of an in
terview between a reporter of the New
Orleans Picayune and Mr.. Davis, in
which the former asked the latter the
point-blank question if he was candi-
date for the U. S. Senate-a question
which Mr.. Davis evaded answering
squarely, but did answer in such a way
as to convey the impression that he
was. Notice the politicians answer ::
81 am not candidate. l have been
elected to the u. S. Senate three times
and appointed once, and | have never
yet been candidate for the position"
If Mr.. Davis had stopped after the first
five words, there would have been no
doubt about it; but the qualification
and explanation leaves no chance to
doubt but that he is a candidate. Thus
in this brief time after the close of a
gigantic rebellion of which Mr.. Davis
was the head, it is proposed to make
him Senator in the government he
tried so hard to destroy. MI. Davis
says his views are not changed since
1861 if not he will be fit representa-
tive of Mississippi. Who dare dispute
the soldiers prediction that he will one
day be President?

There was an interesting arbitration
at East Fairfield Monday. The suit of

recover the damage for injury to his
spine caused by a defective bridge, was

peared for the plaintiff and C. P. Hogan
for the town. Medical experts were ex-
amined, their testimony shedding much
light upon the case. The town did not
dispute its liability and the only ques-
ton was one of damages. The plain
tiff was awarded $7S7 .5O.-St. Adams

Murder in Boston.

Last Thursday night Mr.. Joseph F.
Frye, living on Joy street, Boston, was
murdered in the basement of his own
house. His corpse was found Friday
morning with bullet hole in his head
and various stabs on his person. His
pockets had been rifled and his safe
broken open and silver ware and Jew
elry taken. Mr.. Frye's family were alb
sent at the time. The police were i'm
mediately put at work upon the case
and since then the opinion has been di-
vlded among the police, reporters, ETC.,
as to whether it was murder or suicide,
but the question has been settled by
the arrest and confession of the murder
ers. There are four parties implicated
in the matter and three of them were
arrested last Monday and all the stolen
property found. They were all for
eigners and all BARRIERS, the instigator
of the crime being lad of sixteen
years, and one whom Mr.. Frye had pre-
vlOusly aided by a loan of $40 to start
in business. He found no difficulty in
getting assistance among his associates
to carry out the crime. Mr.. Frye had
invited the boy to his house that even
ing for some purpose or other, which
does not appear, and he took along two
ofhis confederates, one of whom stopped
near by to watch while the other two
entered the house. The boy explained
the presence of the unlimited person by
saying he was an intimate friend of
his and just arrived in this country. 1t
appears from the confession that thew
played billiards awhile in Mr.. Frye's
private billiard room, and drank sew
eral times, when the boy told Mr.. FRYE
that his friend had never seen a stylish
house, and asked him to show them
his. Mr.. Frye took them about and
when they reached the basement the
man took Mr.. Frye by the throat and
commenced stabbing him with pair Of
BARRIERS shears. Mr.. Frye begged for
his life, but the man commanded the
boy to shoot, and he did SO. killing
their victim. Mr.. Frye was a merchant
of wealth and his murderers expected
he had five or six thousand dollars in
the house, but they only got one dollar
in money.
