An Interesting Fight.

The -Conkling-Hayes and Sherman
fight promises to be lively. Hayes and
Sherman wants some of Conkling's
friends in office to resign, and Conkling
is mad and in fighting humor. He
paid his respects TO the President few
days ago in the Senate by alludin9 to
"that man Hayes" and the President
received tongue flashing THAT he will
never forget. Now comes a special
from Washington, to the New Orleans
Times, which says it can no longer be
kept secret that the war between
CDnkling and the President will be Il
most bitter one, and is now beyond the
efforts of peacemakers. 1t will have
very serious effect on the Republican
party, and is almost certain to result in
Mr. Conkling s political discontinue in
1880, unless he can win such triumph
ant victory that the adm inistration will
be crushed out If the Hon. John
oheIlnaH were HoJ III bliS HSI'.
Conkllng's chances for winning would
be very mich greater than they are.
Mr. Sherman, like adj the Sherman fam
lily, is a relentless hater, Conkling has
mortally offended MIN, ard Sherman
never forgivss 1t will be great battle
and Will demonstrate conclusively which
rules the country the. Hon. ~. B Hayes

RuIIdoxinS Fact.

We learn there is good deal OF ex
citement in beat four OF Lincoln coun-
tv, caused by acts committed by men
styled bulldozers. 1t is hoped that the
reports that have reached MS have been
magnified, ana are not so bad as rep
resented. However, it is known to be
fact that within the 'ast few weeks
some houses have been burned and
several negroes whipped in that beat,
by crowds of men after night. We
have been slow to believe that any such
organization as bulldozers existed in
beat four, and supposed the acts OF
lawlessness, so often complained of.
were committed by wild. reckless men
and boys. Recent events, however,
Indicate that there is an organization
in that part of Lincoln, and we have
been informed bylone of.its ex-members
that it Numbers one hundred aud
seventy. The object of the organza
ton seems to be to prevent darkies
from settling on merchants, places and
to punish those suspected of stealing,
etc. Some of the best men of that
organic ition, strange as it may sound.
Mr.. G. l.. Oliver says his gin and
four bales of cotton were burned last
week by members of the bulldozing or,
gauization, and that n note was left
him by the crowd telling hun to leave
in ten days or they would "make day
light through hira.' The pretext given
for burning the gin was that Mr..
Oliver had proven traitor to the band,
and he acknowledges he had belonged
to the organization, but had quit it,
The last Legislature passed the fol-
lowing law for the benefit of bulldozers
That hereafter if two or more persons
in either of the counties OF Amite, Pike,
Franklin or Lincoln. shall conspire to
commit an assault or assault and battery
upon any person or persons theirin.
or to place any person or persons in
terror by hanging or threatening to
hang snch person or persons. or by
whipping or threatening TO whip, or by
leaving on the premises of such person
or persons a threatening letter or let
ters, note or notes, notice or notices.
such person OF persons so offending,
and all persons aiding or abetting in
any way the commission of such offen-
ces, shall upon conviction thereof, be
punished by Imprisonment in the pens
itentiary for any term not exceeding
five years, OF by Imprisonment in the
county Jail any length of time not ex
ceeding twelve mouths, and by fine not
exceeding one thousand dollars, at
the discretion of the court.
AS Circuit Court convenes next week
we would not be surprised to hear OF
some convictions under the above act.
Bulldozing is wrong, manifestly so,
and it is to be hoped that those guilty
of it viii be made to feel the strong
arm of the law. '','' '''''i'' .
