A PROJECTED RIOT PLANNED BY
ALABAMA NEGRoES.


In Choctaw county, Ala on Toes
day, tile 18th inst, a bundle Of pa
pers disclosing we'll organized plot
among the negroes to kill the entire
white population of that county, was
found near one of their rendezvous by
two gentlemen. The matter was
laid before the solicitor on Wednes
day, the 10th inst. A quiet meets
ing of the citizens of Mount Sterling
and Butler was called at Butler, to
consider the best mode of Suppress
ing the intended outbreak and mas.
sacre. After discussion it was
agreed that the following ringlead-
ers Jack Turner, F. d. Barney,
Jesse Wilson, Peter Hill, Willis
Lynn, Aaron Scott and Range West,
to whom had been assigned the du-
ties of leading squads to Butler, Mt.
Sterling, DeSotoville and other
places. and killing all the whites at
each place, should be arrested and
lodged in jail. Their arrest was ef-
fected on Thursday, the 17th, with
out disturbance or bloodshed. On
the same day a mass meeting OF
citizens of all classes was called for
Saturday to decide the fate of the
prisoners. The plot has been in exis-
tenee since 1878, and the conspira-
tors now number 400. They have
powder, shot and guns They think
themselves sufficiently strong to ac-
complisb their fudish designs. Sun
day night, the 18th of September,
had been appointed as the date for
its contamination. The papers fur
Their showed that this day was select
ed because then the white people
would be at camp meeting unsrmed,
and could then offer no resistance.
The meeting called for Saturday
brought together about 700, among
whom we're about $50 negroes, who,
hearing the papers read, almost by a
unanimous vote decided that Jack
Turner was a turbulent and danger
Gus character, a regular fire brand
10 the community, and that the pub
lie demanded his immediate death.
lie was accordingly hung at about
l:l5 p. IN, in the presence of the
assembled multitude. The crowd
dispersed and all signs of disturb>
ance ceased. Everything was quiet
on Saturday night. The other pris-
oners are still in Jail to await fur
Their developments.

THE DEAD SENATOR.

We pause beside the grave Of Ben
Hill to lay thereon a myrtle and
cypress wreath; myrtle for the
great deeds he did in life, cypress
for our sorrow that be is dead.
Georgia is in sack cloth, for all that
is left on earth of her greatest citi-
zen is wrapped 10 the cerements of
the grave. Her peoples man" is
dead and fifty million hearts are
beating in sympathy for her loss, for
he was chieftain Of US all. An
orator and statesman, he led men and
moulded events by the powers of his
peerless intellect, for the powers of
his arm played no part in beating
out his way to fame. He was none
the less hero, citizen hero, out of
whose eloquent eyes great soul
looked upon the world and spoke
Just enough to kiuship with its weak
ness and its sin to make men love
him as brother while they venera>
ted him as a leader. His heart was
full of human nature, it's joys and its
sorrows, its passions and its aspira>
tions, and, as one grasping his birth
right, be won tho admiration as he
captured the hearts of all men. His
browning virtue was his wealth of
patriotism. The word has become
the mounting cant of cheap dema-
gogues and mercenary placemen, and
the world is forgetting its primitive
truth and beauty. But in him it
was breathing life, instinct with
freshness and purity and beauty, as
in the old Roman days when pat
riots died for the heritage of the
name. He wrapped his country in
bis heart of hearts, and joyei with
all her joys and wept with all her
sorrows, and trembled at the thought
of harm to her. To make his coun-
try rich and prosperous and great,
to preserve his peoples liberties and
promote their happiness WAS his
thought by day and his dream by
night, and the last study Of his price
less wisdom was to solve the one
great problem that threatens her flu
ture of to day. We envy Georgia,
not because her tears may flow more
freely than our own, not the proud
title of his native State, nor the
burial place of his sacred du5t, but
she was next his noble heart and for
her and her people his last prayer
was said. There is no chief mour-
ner at the grave of Ben Hill. Side
by side stand sister States and bow
their neads in common grief. A
great people stand uncovered while
the burial rite is read and the funeral
song is sung above the dust of a
loved citizen and brother For
months he has stood by the grave
side from which a peoples love
would 10 vain have saved him. Time
rolled on, and as each day the golden
sands of his precious life ran out,
men told the story of bis anguish
with trembling lips till their hearts
grew sick with pity and almost
blamed the lsggard steps of time
that heightened out his agony. And
now the end has come, and the blood
flows back from every heart ard
every cheek grows pale in presence
of the reaper come at last. In the
red clay hills of Georgia his noble
dust will moulder into nothingness,
but the monument that soon will rise
to deck his resting place will be g
sacred thing to pilgrims of centuries
to come. - Montgomery AdvertiSer.

The balloon "Reliance" made
singular flight from the Alexandra
Palace, London, the other day. 1t
rose gradually to height of 1900
feet, drifting in northerly direction,
then, when ballast had been thrown
out, rose l, 800 feet more. At that
point a current carried it toward
London, and through a thick mist it
descended at the end of an hour up
on the very place from which it bad

JUST ONE TIME.

Luscious" Gartrell says he wants
to be elected Governor just one time
and thinks be can get rich enough
to spend the balance of bis life on a
farm. AS you have had the itch for
office all your life, Luscious" we
hardly think you would retire after
tasting office, therefore tho people
propose to retire you now. Polite
ians seldom retire with one pull at
the public teat. Our observation up
here ia the seventh district is, that
one tenn of office only sharpens the
appetite of an independent, like Eel
ton, and he wants Office the balance
of bis natural life. Ono defeat does
not discourage him and he is making
an effort to get hold of the teat
again. But the true democrats of
this district are going to choke him
off ogain.

A BULLET IN HIS BRAIN.

Belefontaine comes to the front
with a man who still lives with bul>
let in his brain. A dispatch from
that place to the Cincinnati Enquirer
will explain:
George Foulty, the young man
shot the bullet into his brain Sunday,
July 9th, has so far recovered that
be is considered out of danger. The
case is one of the most peculiar on
record, not only because but few re-
corded instances HAYS been given US
of even partial recovery, out from
the strange absence of ordinary
symptoms in cases of this kind.
Foulty had cause to shoot himself.
He had been married but two months
and had trouble with his wife and
mother in law, and was drunk when
he committed the deed. He lay on
his back, and shot himself in the
exact center of his forehead, and ex-
pected to die instantly. Instead of
that he did not lose consciousness for
a moment, but says be felt the ball
strike his forehead, pass through his
brain and strike the bone at the
back of his head. AS soon as he
shot himself he got up from the bed
walked into another room and sat
there until neighbors assembled and
Induced him to lie down. Notwith-
standing the fact that brains have
oozed from the bullet hole, aud at
attending physicians have probed
the wound for q distance of three
inches, he has never felt much in
convenience, and has never been
unconscious for a single moment
1t is said that his faculties are bet
ter and his reasoning powers clearer
now than before he tried to shuttle
eff. On being questioned as to bis
sensations, he says that be feels all
right, aud has never had any ill feel
ing, except a slight headache. He |
is so far recovered that he walks
around the house, smokes cigars and
makes himself generally comforta>
bic.
