Lying Tactics.

from me Ne~ lOE IrWh, Independently
For many months past Republican
journals throughout the country have
teemed with quotations from an obscure
paper published in Mississippi, called the
Oholono state. Its uttcrances reckcd
with ribaldry and treason 1t advocated
the most pernicious doctrines and filled
its columns with insult to the Union and
its people. Extracts from this paper
were everywhere heralded by the Re
publican press as an expression of the
real feeling and sentiments existing at
the South, and doubtless contributed no
little toward spreading such erroneous
belief among the Northern public
During long period the patient in
habitants of Okolona and its vicinity
were content to view its editor as a
harmless and amusing idiot, little dream
ing that his absurditics would ever pcne-
trate beyond the little circle in which
they were laughed at In time, howcv.
er, and that very recently, they learned
better-lcarned how systematically and
UNANIMOUSLY they had been msrepresent-
ed and nsulted-learned how they were
coming to be regarded as des sperate
gang of partisan cut-throats instead of
a peaceful body of farmers rs they are.
They commenced to inquire into the per
sonality of this red-hot editor, who he
was. and where he came from; and soon
found out that he was n Northern impor-
tation, with Il very hazy history. In
their righteous Indignation they rose,
and it was not many days before he was
making the fastest time on record across
the Ohio river Since then the Oholona
State has been dumb.

Appeals TO those he helped to wrong,
And asks that he be yindiratcd.

They get, or ough TO get, their dues

For four long years the White House roof,
The mantle OF the Presidency,

Have justly named his traudulcncy.
That his should be the stolen goods

For such place nj such a time,
Can such a nan be fairly tlttcd,

The crime that he himself committed,
TO put In the receivers place

Would be base and shameful thing,
Ana no free people could afford 1t.
when men who stole the peoples votes
Step up and ask yindlcatiOn.

FOREIGN AFFAIRS,

London, Nov. l2.-The people Kissed and
groaned at the orsngemen on their arrival
a! Glare Morris. The party had to be pro.
teoted by double file of infantry with fixed
otyonets' The route to Hollymount, BY
which the orangemen proceeded, was lined
with constables. They arrived at Ballinarobe
without disturbance.
London, Nov. 1.-THE Oraneemen com
prising the Boycotte cliff expedition were
booted nearly the whole way from Glare
Morris to Bsllenarohe, where they were
quartered in barracks for the night. The
barracks were guarded with troops.
A dispatch from Bsllonarohe this morninp
says there is a lull in the excitement TODAY.
During the night two hundred more troops
arrived here TO relieve the expedition for
iBOyeotte. The farm will be guarded by two
hundred and fifty, men of infantry and two
squadrons of hussars. One hundred infantry
and a squadron of cavalry have been on.

tention of quitting Ireland.
A dispatch from Ballenarohe saws the
troops forming the escort of the Boycotte
relief expedition were mustered previous to
starting for Boycotte's farm. Crowds of
people were groaning and hooting outside
the barracks gates. The uproar in the
principal street was tremendous.

Special TO the Herald.
San Autouio, Nov. l2.-Quite singular
electrical freak has occurred here, which ex-
perienced persons have failed to satisfactorily
explain. A little child of Nose Friendbader,
while swinging on the front gate, with its
usual piece Of bread and butter in hand, saw
n flash Of fire and exclaimed "I'm shot"
There was no one at home at the time but his
little sister, who was near him, nor was a
report of any kind heard. When his parents
returned they found the little fellow in a
most distressing condition. His face was
almost cut to pieces, bis eyes swollen, his hair
singed of and clothes burned. There were
several cuts on his face an inch or two long,
but no blood sppeard any where. The doc.
tors say the child will recover, but he is ter
ribly SCARED and may lose his sight. He
says he first saw the smoke, then binding
blaze, but no sound. The sister says she also
saw fire go around the house toward ditch,
but it did No damage except to the poor little
sufferer This happened just out of town
yesterday evening. The sky was clear and
there were no storm appearances whatever.
Dr. Graves, the attending physician, thinks
it Was an aerolite, though that can't be SO,
for solid body would have killed the child,
aad no fragments can be found.
A man named Vinely had his right hand
terribly mutilated in a cotton gin at Pleason-
ton yesterday, and his arm broken in two
places He was brought here for treatment.
Amputation is necessary.

of the facts in evidence at his trial,

This morning the country people, mostly
colored, poured into town. They numbered
about one thousand. AT 1850 p. m. Shep.

OF new clothes and new light hat. His hands
were then tielbehind him, and with Sheriff
Asher on one side and Deputy Sheriff

yard and passed between two lines of armed
guards and on to the grounds. The ccaffold,
about one-fourth OF mile from town, was
reached at 2;l0 p. m. Prayer was read by q
colored minister. The death-wsrrant was
then read by the sheriff.
Shepherd was then asked if he desired to
make any remarks. He merely responded by
the exclamation, "God save me; hope | may
be saved" He then requested
some one present to promise to take care Of
his body until p. m, next day.
The sheriff adjusted the black cap at 2:25

into box. Shepherds pulse at 1886 p. m.

felt bat faint vibrations. There was no
twitching or contraction Of the muscles, and
in fifteen minutes the doctors in attendance
pronounced him dead.
The body was cut down at $40 p. M, and

The Cars Troubles.


Prince Alexis, of Russia, is the most awk-
ward antagonist the ozsr has to meet in re.
gard to his marriage. The prince, the
Whitehall Review says, has made written
demand to the emperor to ratify the
private marriage he made with Reuterns
niece eight years ago. The ceremony = was
legally performed in the presence Of the
minister of finance himself and the czar, no W
begging the goodwill of an offended family,
has to remember, to his regret, that he has
prosecuted beautiful and virtuous girl and
deprived Russia of tho best fibance minister
the country ever had. The Grand Duke
Constantine shares his wife's antipsthy to the
favorite, and he has, besides, a good argu-
ment in the czar's inconsistency, Alexander
having, year ago, expelled Constsntine's
eldest son, Nicoli (of Khivan fame) from the
Russian army, for having contracted ro.
mantle marriage at Orenburg with the po,
