Mrs. EtixOn's Actfcr,

Ii is but simple justice to a bereav~
ed widow, who loved her husband as
other wives do, regardless of their sins,
to publish the letter of Mrs. Dixon.
1t is n well written article. though
naturally intensely one sided. 1t i,
such a letter as any woman would
write placed in Mrs. Dixon's position.
Like most wives. she knew less of hei
husbands faults than any other per
son, and regarded him pnre and good,
when the world belieTed him CORRUPT
and vile.
We have never endorsed the killing
Of Dixon, and regard it as very nm
fortunate for tue South, but if the
reports OF m eye. witness. as published
in the Cincinnati Enquire, are trne,
we say BArksdale did what any othe,
gentlemen of honor shonld and wonll
have done. The report in the En-
quire says, that after Bnrksdale had
been nominated for Chancery Clerk on
the Democratic ticket, and 1t was seen
his name was strengthening it, "thtn
DixoG began his tactics TO aweaken
Bhrkstiale. He set afioat many dams
aging stories, and capped them by
charging Barksdale With maintaining
illicit relations with his W SISTER

The second Senatorial Convention for
Franklin and jefferson counties will be
held at Hugh Montgomery's next Sat-
urday.
Mr.. Geo, Guice, forsook his friends
in the Senatorial Convention, and
voted against Judge Magee. BY way
of explanation he said he acted accord>
ing to the wish of the people of his
district.
The Banner says hat on Saturday,
August 23d, while Mr.. N. T. Conus,
who lives-in the Wells Greek neighbole
hood, was repairing m old shed in
his yard, his two little children were
playing beneath it. The shed fell, one
of the timbers striking his little daugh-
ter, Bette on the back of the head,
and knocking her brains out.
The Banner says the storm was gen.
eral in Franklin county. There is no
means of estimating the damage in tn e
county. The streams rose higher than
they We're ever known to be by the
Oldest residents. Large fields of cot
ton and corn we're submerged, the water
in some being ten feet deep, and vast
numbers of COWS, hogs, sheep, and
other animals were drowned by the
food. Fences and growing crops
we've blown fat and the latter
beaten into the ground by the
rain. The dam or Judge T. A, Ma
gees mill was carried away, and all
the roads were so torn up as to be al
most impossible. Duncan Byrd's mill,
on Magee's creek, was bursted up, and
one bale of cotton newly pressed,
washed away by the freshet. The cots
ton had not been found at latest ac-
counts. Several other mills are report
ed as being destroyed or damaged.

LoxDox, September S.-The Stan

serts that the symptoms of discon-

some time. The bearing of the pop

with the greatest bravery. 1t is
said the ameer's son was fatally in

neers were killed.
After the buildings of the embas-

While Commissioner Rdum was IN

There can be no safety for political
