THE SOUTHERN STATES.

One question discussed At the e.
publican conference in New York was
whether OF NOT an effort should be
made to calIy any Of the southern
states for the republican ticket, ~
sending speakers and money to carry
on the campaign. We look upn
such 4 movement a. being not only
useless, but worse than useless,
Simply waste Of talent and money
And the talent and money might
better be kept where it will do som.
good-in the northern states.
What matters it if in the states oi
Mississippi, Alabama or Georgia,
there should be three voters for the
republican ticket to two for the demo-
cratic, would the republicans gain
any electoral votes by it7 Does any
fair minded man believe that the dem
ocrats would not commit frauds of any
kind, rather than have a southern
electoral vote counted for the republi-
can ticket! Have they not all the
machinery Of the election, and are
known to be unscrupulous enough to
use any advantage possible! 1t has
already been fore-ordained by the
southern democracy that the 1873
electoral votes Of the south shall be
counted for Hancock, whether they are
cast for him or not, and the man who
is sanguine enough to count on any
republican electoral votes from the
southern states, will find in November
that he has reckoned without his hosts.
1t is said there has been a large emf
grafton of people from the north to
Florida. Ifthere is enough of them
to establish state Of public opinion
which would frown upon intimidation
and fraud at the ballot box; enough
Of them to see that every free Ameri-
can citizen was allowed to vote as he
pleased without fear orrestraint, and
that no fraudulent ballots find their
way into the ballot box, then we might
hope to carry Florida. But under no
other circumstances. So we might
expect to carry Mississippi, South Caro-.
lima and Alabama under the same
circumstances. But as it is, we must
look to the northern states where
every man is allowed to vote as he
desires, for the vote which is to put
the quietus upon the corrupt democra-
cy of the south. Let no time be
wasted upon the southern states, for in
victory lies the hope, and
the only hope Of free government in
the United States. Hence every
energy should be tunnel to the north
ern states.

Mr.. Shaver the republican nominee

of unblemished character, a wounded
soldier with lead in his hip, sent there
by some man, who, if alive to-day, is
voting the democratic ticket. Adair
county is republican, our candidates
all first-class men. Then why should
any republican vote for J. NJ. Ken
neday nice as he is. He came out
as an independent to forestall the
matter so his party could not nomi-
nate c. L. Bounds or some other good
man. Is it because he is democrat
from the loyal state of Alabama that
republicans must vote for him! Is it
because he buys corn at one cent less

Guilty Of Murder.

When the case of Charles Spaulding,
colored, charged with assault and
battery on Mary Woods, was called, it
was announced that Mary Woods was
dead. On Thursday last Spaulding
and his mistress, Mary Woods, had a
dispute at their room in Fort Picker
ing during which the woman was so
badly beaten that it became necessary
to send her to tie hospital for treat
ment. She died of her injuries yester-
day at that institution. Spaulding was
accordingly held to answer the charge
OF murder instead of the lighter one
Of assault and battery.

Sudden Recovery.


A sharp scamp named Nelson
Thomas, succeeded in making his es.
cape, yesterday, by imposing upon the
good nature of his captors. He was
locked up to await trial for stealing
a lot of steel beaver traps. Yester-
day he suddenly developed a mystic
riOus sort of sickness, and asked to be
sent to the hospital for treatment.
The ambulance was sent for, and as
Nelson was unable to walk to the
vehicle, it was not thought necessary
to send a guard with him. Old Aft.
took the prisoner and the mittimus
and drove slowly off, the idea not
entering his head that the man would
endeavor to escape, but when he got
about half way, he noticed the man
did not groan any more, and turning
around, beheld vacancy and the
empty wagon.
