We find nothing in our Columbus
exchanges referring to the bulldozing
case spoken of by the Mercury, and. as
we believe it comes from Republican
source, il may be gaeatly exaggerated,
if there is any truth in it. The Mercu-
ry commences its article by saying that
it obtained its information Wednesday
night, and ends by saying that Gen.
Titus and Pease passed through MeFi-
dian the same night. The Aberdeen
Examiner says this of the same par
ties:
ii. r. Peasc, state school supcrinIcn-
dent under Ames and afterwards for a
short time Senator, was in Aberdeen
Sunday, accompanied by Major Henry
Whitfield from Vieksburg and Gen. II
tus from Washington. As the visit OF
these gentlemen was entirely on bust
ness, and had not the most remote con
nection with politics, we were glad to
sec chem in our beautiful city,

For Coroner and Ranger,
JOHN I. MORGAN.

We begin 10 see very plainly what
our fate will be if we fail in maintain
ing the supremacy of the Democratic
party, in the election next week. The
cat in the meal sabk is visible enough.
Besides the Radical candidate for sher-
i'll, we are to havea candidate for SUI
pervisor in every Dist. The leader of
this sweet-scented party in Noxubee
county has no idea of being content
with, single Office, if he can gel it, but
he wants his Board of Supervisors
that he may have full, and unintcrupt-
ed CONTROL of county affairs, as in DAYS
of yore. lie wants capinet of his
own Selection one that will do his bid
ding, and place the good people OF
Noxubec at the mercy Of the Radical
party.
We must look out for supervisors
on Tuesday. This is all important to
lis. Good and true men are out for the
position on our ticket, and we mus
elect them.

AMUSING.

One of the funniest things seen in
our town of late has been the lone
looking. forlorn, little band of
Greenbackers, that ever and anon
marched up and down the streets,
stopping here and there to hold II con-
sultation, and, perhaps, hale II passing
darkie, to explain to him the new gos-
pei of the G.. b. party. Often you will
notice the darkir being restless and
uneasy. with the whites of his eyes
tnrncd alternately to the right and to
the left, looking out for II chance to es-
cape, Willie the G.. i. people are gcs-
ticulating and vocifcrMing to him at
II terrible rate.
We have really had u sincere sympa-
thy for this little tea-pariy of Green
hackers, ard often thought that their
perseverance amid so much discour-
agcmcnt was worthy of abetter cause.
when rs much us week would
elapse without seeing them on the
street, or hearing from them, we have
felt like mourning over their carly dis
solution; but before we could get the
Grape ready, in they would come again,
rs Jolly as ever, without single re-
crlIit, and commence their regular per-
ordinations and consultations.
As Artemus ward would say, il is
an "amoosing" little political sidc-show,
us innocent of financial lore us it is OF
.arn to the Democratic party.
But the funniest ofal funny things
connected with tn serious family" OF
Greenbackcrs, is, that they have actu-
ally printed ticket. Yes indeed.
they have II ticket out and if there is
Grccnbacker in this county, who is
not on it, we do not know who he is,
nor where he lives. II took them all
to fill the ticket, leaving none TO vote
the ticket. what complete monopo-
" it is! And what II glorious thing
it would be, if every political party,
like this one, could offer evcGy men
Der an office. Even our great party
wovld have no trouble then. we
would be happy and united forvcr.
Seriously, our &. B. friends ought to
quit this f0olishness, and come back to
the only party that has IL ghost of q
chance of success III the coming cleo
ton. Wcwill receive them before the
election, and forgive their sins; but il
they wait longer, it may be necessary
to require them TO undergo a period 81
probation before we can restore them
to full fellowship.

THE BATTLE EVE.

IAN qniet along the Noxubee to-
night" The camp fires of the inter-
rifcd are blazing brightly at last, and
the drum-beat of preparation can be
heard from one end of the county to
the other. The apathy, indifference,
and local dlsatlcctions, Of a week or
two ago, have given place to activity,
determination, and harmony, all along
our line. Now and then, we still hear
Off man opposed to some name on
our ticket, and proposes to scratch II
Off; but there are 50 few of this class
that our party may be considered prac-
ticallv united, rs II stands confronting
the enemy Oh the eve ofthe final strug-
gle.
The grand old Democratic party of
Miss, which alone represents the intel
lircncc, moral weight and property of
the commonwealth, may have jars, dis
cords, and disagreement among its
members when there is no enemy in
sight; but the moment one appears,
formidable enough to threaten its in
tegrity, and endanger the beniiicent
home rnlc of to-day, every one of its
members, almost without exception,
will be found ut his post, ready for any
duty, or any sacrifice that may devolve
upon him. We of Noxubce have had
our party troubles. Some have com
planned of the action ofthe convention,
and expressed disapprobation of the
ticket, But since the Radical party,
presliming upon, and overestimatlng
| the disaffection in our ranks, is at
tempting to wrest from our control the
leading office in the county, it has
aroused us to action, stirred up the old
spirit of the past, and effcctually &C.
mcntcd the party. We feel that we
are essentially unit again, and ready
for the contest on Suesday next. Eve
nv other consideration sinks into MT.
ter insignificance compared with that
of being subjected to Radical domino
ton. We know what 1t means. and
knowing it MS we do, are inspired will
almost superhuman power to avert SC
great calamity. Some OF us have
been lullcd into false security by the
fact that only one Office was claimed
by the opposition, and that as mat.
ter of policy it might be well to let il
90 by default. But now we know thai
one may mean all; if not this year
why next. It's, therefore, just rs i'm
portant to exert all of our powers IN
behalf of this one Office as if all Of tho
official positions in this county were
openly and boldly demanded. No
fellow ciIizens not enc inch of grounf
will we surrender without contest
This is the sentiment of our party, "a
far as we have been able to determine
il. And it is not likely to be changed
now, on the eve of the election. W.
will march right on TO victory, ant
teach the enemy another impressive
lesson.

Watch the Supervisors tickets
Good men have been selected for po-
sitions on the Board, in every Dist,
and il is of vital importance-yca, alb
soutely indispensable that they shall
be elected. Desperate efforts will be
made by the supporters of the one
man power to place men on the Board
who are inimical to the people, and we
must defeat them.
The Board of Supervisoas is the Leg
islative body of the comty-lcvies its

Lively Bulldozing in the Republics n
Family.

From information gained from par
ties passing through this city Wednes-
day night, we learn there was a very
lively case of intimidation and bulldo-
zinr among the Republican family ut
Columbus. Miss, on Wednesday, which
if trae is il very disgraceinl affair and
outrageous in the extreme. From me
information CLEANED, II seems there Is
suit by the United States govern
ment, pending in New York city, a.
gainst Mr.. Harrison johnson, Of Co.
lumbus. for defalcation in government
cotton. To make it clear, it will be ne
cessary to state here that Mr.. johnson,
being n Union man and Republican
before aud during TIE war, was APP
pointed agent to collect up COVE
ment cotton in that section of the State.
Further information and evidence be-
| inc necessary to aid in the prosecution,
the government sent Gen. II. Is. Titus
and ex-Postmaster Pcase Of Washing
ton down here to examine the records
of the courts at Columbus and gather
up other evidence to assist in the pros
ecution. They secure the services OF
Mr.. Whitfield to assist them in the mat
ter. They all passed up the road the
| first of the week, Gen. Titus going to
Aberdeen and Pcase and Whitfield to
Columbus. On Wednesday last, when
their mission became known, the two
Messrs. Jolnsons, jr, waited on Mr..
Pease and gave him to understand thai
he could not come there and worry
their father in his old age, and that il
he didn't leave the town immediately
it would not be good for him. They
also interviewed the clerk of the court
and threatened him with violence If he
permitted Mr.. Pease to examine the
records of the court and TINS, it seems
successfully carried their point, of pre-
venting any investigation being made
into matter. Gen. Titus, hearing OF
these things at Aberdeen, got alarmed
and rode through the country to Oko-
Iona, where he took the train that eve
ming for this place. Peasc, taking the
advice of the Johnsons and Their
friends, also left Columbus the SAINT
evening, but was accompanied os far as
the junction by the Johnsons, who, u
pom the arrival of the train upon the
main line, began to institute search fol
Titus, who they expected to find OF
board. They encountered him in tho
sleeping car, and told him, in very in
/. sulting and threatening language, that
it would not be good for him If he ev'
err came back there again. One o.
them pulled pistol, and presenting i
told him that it carried seven balls, ano
that if he ever saw him again in tha

The above are the facts as we learn
them, and if true the affair is an out
rage on the law and order of the STATE
of Mississippi. Gen. Titus and Mr.

An ALFRED Liar.

The Globe Democrat prints u part OF
an interesting story about a Kansas
refugee. who returned to Mississippi to
90, his wife and children and was pun
ishcd by the KuKluX, who cut off his
hands and threw the bleeding men,
bcrs into his wifc's lap. This is very
good us far as it goes, but the Globe
Democrat omits to add that his feet
were sawed off, his eyes picked out, his
head scalpcd, and his spinal column ex-
tracted, and broomstick inserted, and
in this pitiable condition the victim OF
southern barbarity is now begging an
honest living in Kansas. What's the
use of being liar unless you are IN all :

fvou have not thought of it before
fellow citizens, we wish to remind you
of it now in the most forcible manner
possible, that if the Radicals come IN
to power again, they will ut the same
time carry, by their votes, the constitu'
tional amendment, changing the time
Of our State election to the same yeaI
that we elect Federal offices. You
see the point in this. BY having both
State and Federal elections at once
they hope to have Supervisors APP
pointed to an existing law
of Congress and perhaps the militia,
ry too, to ovcr-awc our people, and
prevent that freedom in voting that
every citizen is entitled TO. They vii
have their Deputy Marshals and bayo'
nets, all about the polls, and see that
the minions of Radicalisms are alone
placed in Office; no matter how Tho
votes are cast. This has been done il
the past by this Infamous party, ant
will be done again, just SO sure as W.
permit them to regain that power they
have lost.
At present, our elections are con
trolcd. and violators Of law on thes'
occasions, punished by State enact
ments; which are just, fair, and right
1t is for MS to decide on Tuesday mex
whether or not they, alone, shall con

The New York Tribune confirms the
recently published statement that Mrs.
Mary L. Walton, of that city, is the
pat-ntec of an invention which has
been adopted by the Metropolitan Ele-
waited Railway Company, after a sue.
cessful test, for deadening the sound of
the trains on that road. The plan il to
place beneath the rail box about four
teen inches wide, with its side as high
as the top OF the rail. The bottom is
coated with tar, over which is placed a
layer of cotton, and then the sand
is filled in to the depth Of eight inches.
even to the surface Of the rail on the
outside and to the ilange on the inside.
To keep ont the water this is covered
with felt and asphalt. 1t has been tri-
ed on the road between Twenty sixth
and Thirteenth streets since October,
and gives the company entire satisfac-
ton. An arrangement hast been made
with Mrs. Walton for placing it along
the whole line of the road.
