BANTER FOR A TROTTING
MATCH.
ESPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL


MERIDIAN Miss, Nov. 1.-THE correct
story of the shooting at the polls is that,
while the State election was progressing in
Marion, in this county, Joseph Barrett,
a n aged white, having just voted, was in
by a negro at the polls. Barrett
raised his arm to resent it with a blow.
Some say he drew a stick on the negro,
before he could strike, another negro,
Frank Johnson, shot him in the neck, cut
ting the jugular vein and killing him al
most instantly. George johnson (col-
ored) formerly a slave OF Barrett's, rushed
up to defend his old master, and was shot
by the negro, from which wound he died
to-day. A general shooting among the
negroes then commenced. The whites
were all unarmed. JEFF. Segors (white)
was killed by a negro named Sam Gillespie.
Vance Segors was wounded, and is ex-
pected to die. Alex. Harvey, Democratic
candidate for County Assessor, so yards
from the scene, was rushed upon by ne
groes and killed. He was shot through
the head. He vas shot in the face BY
Frank johnson after he was dead. James
Hogan (whitel was wounded in the hand.
The negroes doing the shooting were Gil
lespie, Frank johnson, Allen Burwell,
Brown and Martin Malone. Marion was
not the voting place for the negroes. They
were from another precinct. William
Vance (white Republican, is said to have
given the order to the negroes to begin
the firing. The Sheriff's experience with
them has been detailed already, except
that John Vance was shot and killed, be-
cause, after the rest had surrendered, he was
seen with o gun leveled at the posse. At
the same instant A. G. Warner of the
posse was shot dead by some one in the
house. Ed. Vance escaped. No negroes
are known to be killed, but four or five
we're wounded. Several OF the rioters
were captured and Jailed, but there is no
excitement at this date. A circus is in
town to-day, and the streets are crowded
with peaceable negroes. Fusionists' ad-
vice to the negroes to carry pistols to the
polls was the cause of the row.. Vance's
house was the headquarters Of the white
Republicans.
Blaine and the Anti-stalwarts' War
ON the President.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 1.-THE Ledger's
New York special says: The Tribune's
Washington dispatch this morning about
Grants o~vershadowing influence in the
Administration is generally regarded here
as the first gun in the warfare which Blaine
and the anti-Stalwarts intend opening on
the President. Your correspondent has
seen Grant with reference to these several
allegations, and, as a matter of public in
~terest, not less than that OF justice to HIM
self and the President, 1t may be said that
he denounced them as false and malicious.
He says he has not sought in any way. to
influence the President in the manner i'm
puted to him, and that as regards Chaffee,
the latter was politically hostile to him at
Chicago, and was never considered Grant
man. As for intimate financial relations
with him, the fact Is, gaid the General, /
have never been interested with him to the
extent of q dollar. As to his wishing to
have Blaine out Of the Cabinet, Grant saws
that is about the only truthful item in the
entire indictment. He wishes him out be-
cause he believes he il not a fit man to be
there. Grant at times spoke with consid-
cradle feeling. and gave your correspondent
to understand that he was not ignorant Of
the motives OF his accusers, nor Of the
source Of their information, and he init
mated that II might yet be q duty to him.
self and the President to publicly expose
both.
PATHS Reception i'm New York.
New YORK. Nov. 11.-Patti, speaking Of
her reception, says: I must admit that I
was disappointed when I saw the hall was
not filed. I imagined I. was going to-
have a great house, in which there would
not be a single seat unoccupied, but I no.
ticed that there were q great many empty
benches. Another thing that struck me as
odd was appearance of the audience. I am
accustomed in Europe to see. my audiences
in full evening dress, but when / came out
last night it seemed as II everybody was
in walking costume. I have heard q great
deal about high prices since / came here,
and I must say I feel very badly to think
there are people who believe I am charg-
ing an exorbitant price for my concerts.
Perhaps $40 may seem q large amount to
pay for q seat, but Is 1t really too high
when you consider what 10 charged for an
entertainment In Europe? In Milan, for
instance, ] get 81 1000 q night, where I have
no risk, whore I .provide nj company, |
where I amply go to sing. In Vienna
and Paris I get the same compensation,
and in London I receive 3d. 900
q night for the entire season.
I intend to sing for 50, 600 q night in Lon
don, simply because 1t is for Mr.. eye, un
whose management I have sung for 40 |
years in opera in London. In that city
the nominal price paid for seats Is 26 En-
glish shillings, but the best seats in the
house, / may say, command 0 great deal
In Paris the nominal charge for
zach seat is Sc, and in Germany it 10 81. I
do not wish to be thought grasping, nor
do I wish the people to think ! have come
here simply to make money, for ! assure you
I can make just as much or more money
OF Counsel should prefer to have
had the house filled, not alone because OF

I should like to sing before Q large
audience. ! suppose you will DO astonished
