This Is evidently critical year for Southern
Bourbonism With fair election and fair count

that the State will go against the Bourbons by at
least 10000 majority. Colonel King the opposition
candidate, has declared that the votes will be
counted. and has minated pretty plainly that
there will be trouble if attempts are made To pre
vent 1t. The Bourbons snatch up this declaration
eagerly, accuse him of melting violence and tell

Letter Giving ex-President Da-
Wis., Views On the Attempted
Assassination.

BEAUvOIR, Harrison county,
Miss, July 5, 18S1-Mr. Findley
Collins-Dear Sir: / have received
yours of the 18th inst, and thank
you for the kind expressions it con-
tanned. The evil influence to which
you refer as causing the bitterness
felt toward Southern men, it may
fairly be expected, will give to the
sober sense of the people if they
shall, like yourself, detect the
sOrdid motive for which stimulants
are administered. / will not like
the telegram you cite, regard this
attempted assassination of the Pres
ident. / am thankful the assassin
was not Southern man, but will
say regret he was an American.
This crime, black enough in itself,
has a deeper dye, from the merce-
nary motive which seemed to have
prompted it. I sincerity trust the
President may recover, that the
startling event may arouse this peo-
pie to the consideration of a REM
edy for the demorilization which a
wild hunt after Office is creating.
With best wishes for your well
fare, ] am, very truly, yours, 4

something Of GuI,.eau.. Lie

Charles Guitteau, the man who
attempted to assassinate the Presi-
dent, has been more or less known
in Chicago for the past ten years.
He was a disreputable lawyer, and
has generally been considered hall
insane. He went to New York
seven or eight years ago, and upon
his return in 1876 professed to have
been converted and delivered sew
eral lectures under the auspices of
the Young Mems Christian Assoeia-
tion.- He next appeared at the
head of a scheme to buy the Chica-
go Inter-Ocean and run it on the
plan of the New York Herald, but
AS he had neither capital or the
backing the matter was soon drop
ped by him. He left for Washing
ton several months ago. There are
many recollections here of Charles
j. Guitteau, who lived in this city
several years, and acquired an un-
enviable reputation. He was at
one time on the point of marriage
with an estimable young lady on
the South Side, but his character
became known just in time to pre-
vent such a calamity to the lady
and her family. Guitteaa left
town Immediately after this for
some months. One gentleman re-
marked: 81 remember Charles
Guitteau well. He was here two
or three years ago and seemed to
have no visable means of support.
He preached or lectured on religion
and several other subjects upon
which he was an enthusiast. He
started in here as lawyer, but
failed utterly, and then tried to
lift himself into notoriety by lectur-
ing on religion on one evening of
each week. His card in the news
papers is produced to-day, and is
literary curiosity. He bored the
newspapers by trying to get his
manuscript printed. He failed al
SO as lecturer, and then began life
as tramp of the more respectable
order. He was branded by the
Hotel-keepers' Association as
In appearance he is an
American of French extraction, 30
or 40 years old, of medium height,
slender built, fair complexion,
brown hair, French shaped mus
tache, and beard tinged with gray.
His general appearance was that of
a dandified man, of small mental
He was unusually fond of
and would go almost any
length to get his name in the paper.
He was arrested here once for en-
bezzlement. He got the idea in
his head that he was fit for an Off
cial position, and has been trying
with all his power to get consul
late at Marseilles.

Decline Of tne oolorea race,

The Republican press are fond Of
saying there has been a great de-
crease In the cOlored population.
That is .an assertion not based ON
the facts. They assume that the
South is cruel to the negro, and that
in consequence he Is dying out.
Many northern people believe the
negro will be extinct In a few more
decades. The contrary is, however,
the facts Of the case. In Mississip-
pi, where he ought to have COM
pletely disappeared, IL tales OF Re-
publican correspondents had been
true, the increase is 46 per cent. In
Louisiana, where he is not only
killed, but there is reason TO believe,
eaten, the rate of increase IL 30 per
cent. In South Carolina, where he
is preyed upon by tissue ballots, as
well as by the rifle clubs and hunt
ed for sport by private parties on
their own account, his increase Is
40 per cent; in Texas, where homi-
eide is believed by the northern
people to be so much n matter OF
course amongst white people that
no account is kept Of the black men
slain, the increase is 55 per cent; In
Virginia, where Malone has got
the bourbons down and smoothed
the path of the African, the rate is
but % per cent, and In Tennessee,
where Republican State adminis-
tration exists, and where they claim
a large republican vote and hope
for an increase, the rate is 25. Even
in Kentucky, where they use ne
groes for rifle targets in all the
matches, the increase is % per cent

The crowd was hushed to silence.
A sobered man bent over the dead
woman, whose hands had dropped
away from his breast, and the love
and truth and tenderness of her
heart were manifest to him in that
terrible moment--manifest in vain
for repentance could not restore her
to life, nor plot out the love which
had crushed her heart through all
those weary days of her sad married
life.

a voice. as a portly man forced his

Her father could give her nothing
but grave.
The child born amidst want and
penury, nOurished by half-starv-
ing mother, pined away and died
in the luxurious home to which its
grandfather bore it; and now, as
the old man sits alone in his splen-
did home, he sometimes hears a
strange, wild cry i'm the streets out

creature reels and staggers, bowling

Reading lPa.) Eagle.

The making of the patterns for
the Lyman-Haskell accelerating or
multicharge gun at the Scott foun-
dry of the Reading Iron Works
was begun this morning. The gun
will be 70 feet long, and have a
bore of six inches IN diameter.
Along the bore four pockets will be
located, in each of which a charge
of powder will be placed, with the
view OF accelerating the speed of
the ball after 1t leaves the chamber
of the gun and during its progress
through the bore. Experts who
have seen the drawings and given
the subject OF the manufacture OF
heavy ordinance study have ex-
pressed the opinion that the gun
will throw a ball a distance OF ten
or twelve miles, whereas Ave miles
is a good range for the best cannon.
The charge OF powder will be 1870
pounds. 1t is calculated that shot
from the gun will penetrate through
two feet of solid wrought iron.

militnrr orgnnIzntion..

The Hopkinsville New Era, in
speaking of the recent military con-
test at Louisville and commenting
on the victory of the Porter Rifles,
of Nashville, editorially says:
The substantial citizens of the city
are preparing to present this splen-
did company with an armory,
where they can at all times meet for
exercise and military training, and
where in cases of emergency, they
can rendezvous at Il moments no.
tice. We commend the action of
the Nashville people. Military Or
CARNATIONS are always ornamental.
They are always pets with the peo-
pie where they are established.
Sometimes they are extremely USE
full. No one can conjecture when
their services may be required. We
trust another war will never break
out in this country. Many of us,
however, remember the cOnspicu-
Gus part played by organizing COM
panies in the beginning of our late
unpleasantneSs, how necessary they
were in drilling raw recruits and in
forming a nucleus around which an
army might be collected. Such uses
are remote, yet they have occurred
and might occur again. The great
benefit of the military to a commu-
nifty is that they can'at any time be
utilized in quelling mObs, suppress
ing violent outbreaks, to which ev-
cry community is liable, and in
maintaining the majesty of the law.
Who has not witnessed occasions
when excited masses of men seemed
ready to defy reason and law, and
scatter blood and ruin all around
them? But who does not know
that disappearance of soldiers, arm
ed and organized would, under a
cool commander, at once restore
peace and order? Uuquestionably
they are great conServatorS of the
peace, great protectors of person and
property, and companies should be
formed in all towns and cities of
the commonwealth. 5~'.J
The above remarks are a plain
practical statement of the great
benefit these citizen soldiery organ
izations are to the city or state in
which they live, and present some
of the claims which these cOmpa-
MES have upon the people, when
they come before them asking en-
and assistance. They
ought to be fostcred and upheld.
We understand that our own splen-
did company the G. G. G.Is have a
on foot, in connection
with the Hook and Ladder c"mpa-
ny and the Fire department of the !
city, looking towards the erection
of commodious and substantial
the lower rooms of which |
will be used as an engine and Hook |
and Ladder house, and the second
story asan armory. This Isl move
ment which ought to, and we hope |
will, meet with the hearty appro-
baton of every citizen of the city.
Let the Board of mayor and alder
men take this matter in hand and
assist these young men in their wor-
thy undertaking, while at the
same time they benefit the city.
The city needsan engine house, and
must have one in short time. This
is the opportunity. Let's hear from
the city. .----...,s-s 81

HON. II. p. COLE, OF Henry coun-
~, has an easy and logical way of
showing his constituents how they
may relieve themselves from the
slavery of which they complain un-
der the 1908 bill. One of them
complained the other day to Mr..
Cole that he had sold him and his
children into slavery for ninety
nine years. He asked him how
much property he owned, to which
he replied that he had a house
worth about two thousand dollars.
'tThen," said Cole, 81 can show
you how you can pay your part OF
the debt, relieve yourself and chill
dren from slavery, and have the
money with which you paid il in
your pocket. Your part Is ten dol
lars, on which you have sixty cents
interest a year to pay. Ii there are
ten dollar bonds issued, all you
have to. do is to buy one. The 1T
tached coupons will pay yonr year
ly tax on account of state debt, and
you will have the ten dollar bond
in your pocket to deposit any time
as collateral to borrow money sou
may need IN a pinch. You can
buy the ten dollar bond for six dob
lars, and il you are not willing 10
maui rails or do anything else to
relieve your children from slavery,
/ don't think you are entitled 10
much sympathy. If at any time
you grow richer and owner Of more
property you will owe a larger part
of the debt and ought to be willing
to pay more. You can then buy
another bond and always keep
your part paid up and chains Off
the limbs of yourself and children"
This Is all clear and true. Any
man who feels himself slave can
settle his part at any time by pur-
chasing a bond, large enough for
the coupons to pay his taxes each
year and have the money with
which he paid it, good collateral
at any bank at any time. More
over he can buy it at sixty cents
which will be equivalent to settle
nent at sixty cents and five per
cent. interest. Ii is also true that
the man who saves the money TO
settle his part will have made that
much, simply because he will have
saved it. In nine cases out OF ten il
will be clear gain. His children
will have ii left, too, a clear gain OF
the principal of the bond. N0ShUiUe
