A Warming From the South.

The Lewiston Journal publishes a letter from
NIX. Sawyer, Esq, formerly editor of the Els
worth (Me.) American, but for the past six
years resident of Florida, in which he warns
the voters of the North against anv action
which will tend to strengthen the democratic
party. Mr.. S. sympathized with the 0reeey
movement in 1872. and went South dissatis-
fed wsth the republican party, and having
the impression that the ma jority Of the polit-
cal leaders at the South, were honest in their
professions of desire to sincerely accept the
guarantees of the constitution. aud do JUS
tice to the cOlorcd man. He has witness d
the trial Of their professions. and has become
satisfied that neither the national interests,
nor the interests of the colorcd race, can be
safely lett to the Bourbon democracy of the
South. He says that within few weeks
bands Of white democrats have perpetrated
outrages in this State (Florids) on eoloretl
people, that would disgrace Camanche In
dams" And he adds that the bulldozers who
perpetrated the outrages control the democ-
racy of the South.

THE END OF THIS"
The Washington correspondent of the Gin
cinnati Commercial has been permitted to
see some letters written by the wife Of II. NJ.
Dixon to DiXon's mother in Washington.
One of them which was dated before the mob
visited the house, reads H. follows IL am in
state of constant anxiety for Henry. His
life is daily threatened by the men WHO are
on the opposing ticket to him. 1t seems that
the democratic party Gas they call themselves
say he shall not have the Sherifi's office. They
know he will be elected if he runs. and they
are organizing Militia companies to prevent
tie colored people from registering and voting
They say that if Henry does not withdraw
they will make him leave the country or put
him under the ground. You can imagine
what my constant feeling of anxiety is"
The following is an extract from another
letter. which was dated July -. and was
written few days after the attack by the
mob. Mrs. Dixon refers tn the dangerous
illness of her babe. and says; but my heav-
lest trouble. to which the burial of all nv lit
tie ones would be nothing. i about Henry.
An armed mob OF 900 men from all parts of
the country came after him Friday last. and
at first ordered him To leave the country.
never to return. He told them he was as good
citizen as any of them. aud would not leave
They then started into our house trampling
over me and my little baby, which we sup
posed was diving. When Mrs Moore. Cad
berry, Meyers, Hudson, and Kelley proposed
to the mob 10 spare him if he would withdraw
from the canvass, some said No. no; rope
him" Others yelled. Run him out of the
country. great many speeches were made
TO the mob by the most influential citizens who
were opposed to Henry, and they finally
agreed 10 spare his life if he would withdraw,
which he had to do or be murdered Now.
you can understand his feelings under the
circumstances-to be compelled to knucke
down to a vile mob headed by men of wealth,
position. and influence, who ought to be the
best friends to us. just because Henry would
run independent Of the convention. No one
knows the end of this. Ilenrys friends are
influential and wish 10 raise an Indignation
meeting and demand his rights but ! am un-
willing that he should risk his life in any
such way. We would leave the State this
minute if we could possibly get away"

View Of u Democratic Paper,

Murder.

The Washington Post of the 2lst had an
editorial justifying the methods adopted by
the Conservative Democracy of Yazoo county
in dealing with the Independents. The fol-
lowing gives a fair idea of the tone assumed :
In sheer self-defencc. just as they would
have united against an insane man with a
torch in his hand, or wild animal, the cti-
zens of YaZoo county, without distinction of
politics or color, came together and informed
Dixon that he would not be allowed to turn
their peaceful community into another hell.
In most counties such a man would have
hung to the highest tree or nearest lamp. post.
and but little note would have been made of
il. Here, however, a quiet but determined
suppression of him has been tortured into
prescription of the worst grade. and Northern
papers have printed columns of denunciation
of what they style "the Mississippi Method. ="
Citizens who have combined merely to pro-
tect their tiresides from rapine and riot are
assalcd as bulldozers and Yazoos and Yahoos

Dixon has been shot in personal encounter
There was dispute, pulling Of pistols. one
or more shots but somebody was too quick
for him, and Dixon fell dead. Perhaps this
will be the end of the troubles and conse-
