YaxOO County.
A correspondent a. Washington fur
nishes the following

A correspondent at Washington fur
nishes the following:
Before midnight on November 4
those who sat up to await election re
turns received the intelligence tina
"Yazoo county had gone Democratic
Many OF the counties In New York
which were easiest Of access had moi
been heard from at that time, and the
fact that Mississippi returns were re-
csived 80 early caused some surprise
A letter received today throws light
upon tho affair.
Probably the announcement OF how
Yazoo county had gone might have been
made a week earlier with quite as much
certainty. The foTmality of voting af-
ter ! o'clock In the forenoon seems to
have been quite generally dispensed
with. The letter is as follows:- -
YAzto Cry, Miss, Nov. 7, 1879
Mr.. Frank Dixon.-Friend Frank -
The election Is over, and know You
are anxious to hear how it passed of.
| will not attempt to give you a full
outline Of everything, for it would take
several days to write II. will state q
few facts in regard to what occurred on
ths day of the election. 1t was under
stood among the bulldozers that II the
negroes could not be induced to vote
with them that they would not let
them vote at all. As soon as the polls
were open at the Court House "Jin"
Barksdale, "Tom" Williams, Whadley
Gibson, "Bob" Wheeless, Lambeth and
about twenty others took a stand at the
gate and voted them threa at a time.
which would have taken at least two
days for them all to vote if they had
been allowed at all.
Every time negro would come up
to the gate they would demand him to
show his ticket. II he showed an lnde-
pendent ticket he was knocked down.
They went on in this way until about
II O'Clock, when "Jake" Holder gave
the signal aud all drew their pistols
and commenced firing in the air. The
negroes all ran off, and OF course there
was no more voting.
The same game was played at Benton
and Dover. When all the negroes col
iected at the polls they commenced fir,
ing in the air. You have lived long
enough in the South to know that a
negro can't stand that sort of punish
msnt.
! don't think there were exceeding
500 negro votes cast in the county. At
Silver Creek, where everything was
Bolidly Independent, they would not
furnish thea with either box or regis
tration book, SO tha, vote was thrown
ont entirely. | don't suppose in the
history of any country such fraud and
yillalny we're ever before practised on a
people. Taylor lad about seventy
deputies appointed to keep peace aud
order at Ii" polls, all ofwhom partici-
pate1 In the shooting. Taylor fired
fOnr shots,
It is amusing to see the negroes walk
up the streets with their jaws tied up,
and whenever they are asked what is
the matter they will answer: "Oh,
nothing, tried to vote an Independent
ticket at the Court House." As soon as
can See the boys from the other pre-
cincts will write the whole thing up
and send it to you. 1t is getting late.

TO THE YOUNG.
A Few Words Of Counsel From an
ssOld Man."

-
"old Man."
For the Republican.
MEssRs. EDIToRs Suffer an old man
to address few pointed words to that
young man in Wilmington. The old
man was once young, aud knows we'll
what the "way" of the young man is.
Awise and good man once asked the ques-
tion: Wherewithal shall young man
cleanse his wayg A young man
Think yha! possibility is in him.
Think what career of good or evil Is
before him. That career may be bright,
useful, eminently successful and happy;
or it may be dark, wretched, ruinous
and his very existence will prove a
failnre.
The issues OF his life depend not upon
high or low birth, poverty or wealth,
good or bad luck, or accident, but upon
himself alone. Out of the possibilities
Of his being he may shape his own
course upward or downward. He may
rise to be Il blessing to himself, to his
kindred, to his fellow men in general,
and to his country or he may sink
himself until he is curse to society
and become so degraded that every
body will shun and despise him.
How maAy who once were young and
had promising prospects,, are now de-
graded, ruined, lost. Some are in pri-
son paying the penalty of their crimes,
to which their ways when they were
young men led them. 1t is a grand
thing to be a young man, if his possi-
bilities and opportunities are we'll used;
perilous thing if they ara not. Young
man pause now for little while and
think. Turn aside from the pleasure,
study or busisess you are pursuing,
aud spend one hour in serious nedita-
ton. 1t will do you no harm.
None of your worldly interests will
suffer by it, but great good to yourself
and others may result from it. One
whose career in life was grand sue
cess, and whose end was glorious, be-
gan by thinking. He says, ! thought
on my ways. This ia the first step III
the life Of every one who becomes good
or useful, or great. Stop and think !!
There is salvation in thought if i, goes
far enough. Think of your ways. DO
this to-day, and tomorrow you may
hear again from The OLD MAN.
