The enterprise. push and progress
Of the New Orleans Democrat du-
ring the past eighteen months have
become provcrbial. No journal pub
lished in the South has made such
progress in the same period Of time.
The New Orleans Times has been for
many years recognized as one ofthe
leading journals in the country. The
consolidated issue, The TrNEs-DEMo-
Graf. will embody the best clements
the highest virtues of both. It will
simply be. without question, the
ideal paper of the business man. the
mechanic, planter, farmer. the family
and the people of all classes and
conditions. It is waste Of time to
enumerate the excellencies of it's is-
sues. Ii is the embodiment of The
modern newspaper. Every depart
ment in 1t has been raised to the
highest standard. The Daily or the
Weekly Times-Democrat should
reach every place Of business and
every home in the Southwestern and
Gulf States. :.

have tried to doit, and there is only
ono instance on record wherein the
eater succeeded. In FEBRUARY. 1870,
two men, both OF whom lived in

the eating was q broad-shouldered,
muscular person. He selected the

that hour every day, for thirty days.
On the last day he was so nervous as

Letter from q trustworthy gentle
man Of Choctaw county Informs us
that on Tuesday, disclosing q WILL
organiz.d and almo,t.m,.ured plot
among tho lcgroes TO kill tho cntire
white population of that county,
was found near one their rendezvous
by Two gentlemen, and handed to
Mr.. Edward Mccall for considera.
,icn. Mr.. Mccall at once lAil the
papers before tho solicitor, aud on
Wednesday. the 18th, a quiet mee!-
ing OF the citizens of Mount S ,crling
and Butler was called at Batlcr, to
consider tho best mode Of sup.
pressing The intended outbreak and
mass icyc.
After discu 'oion, the following
ing.leaders: jack Turner, +. d
Barney, Jesse Wis,n, P,ter Hill,
Willis Lyman, Aron Scott, ard
Rnge West-to whom had been
assigned the duties Of leading the re-
spective sqnads to Ba,l r, M'unt
Sterling, D,Sotoville, and other plr-
ccs, and killing ell tle whites at each
place-should bc arrested and lodg-
cd iu Jail. Their arrest was effected
on Thursday morning, l7Ih, without
disturbance or bloodshcd, and tho
same day q mass meeting OF the
citizens Of all classes WAS called for
Saturday, the the 18Th, to decide the
fate OF the prisoners.
Our correspondent asserts that the
plot bas been 10 existence since 1878
'tfsnt tho donspirators now num-
Der four hundred, that they have
powder. shot md guns, and that they
think themselves sufficiently strong
to accomplish their firndish design.
aud that Saturday night, tho l7lh Of
September, had been appointed as
the date for it's consumation. Tue
papers further showed that this day
was selected because the The white
people would be at camp-meeting,
unarmed, and could then offer no
resistance.
Our correspondent says that the
meeting called for Saturday brought
together about 100 or 800 men,
among whom were adout l50 negroes
who. ailer having the papers read, by
m almost unanimous vote, decided
that Jack Turner, was turbulent
and dangerous character, q regular
firo.brand in tho community, aud
that the public demanded his imme.
iiate death. He was accordingly
hung at about 1:15 p. NJ, in the
presence of the assembled multitude.
The crowd dispersed and oil signs Of
n disturbance ceased. Every thing
was quiet Saturday night when the
writer left, and it is confidently ex-
pected that his dOath will put an
ond to the movement. The other
prisoners are still in Jail to await
lurther DEVELOPMENTS.
