The Choctaw, Ala, County Inramy.

The Choctaw, Ala, County Infamy.
The news of the recent murder of Jack
Turner by the Bourbon mob at Butler,
Choctaw County, Alabama, for having
marshaled the colored voters at the late
election has not yet reached the North
ern. Democratic papers They have only
been able to get as far as the "quiet"
hanging of Turner upon the absurd pre-
tense of the discovery of a written negro
plot for numbering the entire white pop
ulation. They have not even read in
the Southern Bourbon papers the sick
ening accounts of extorting testimony
against Turner by lashes on the bare
back of one negro and hanging another
up by his toes.
Our readers will read with interest, in
this connection, the following letter
from gentleman whose name they will
recognize as one who has been staunch
and true to the cause of law and order in
Alabama:
EuTAw, ALA, Sept. 2, 1889.
To the Editor of THE NATIONAL REPuBLIcAs,
Washington, ID. O.;
SIR: Herewith have the honor to mail to your
address n copy of the Eutaw Mirror, dated August
~ ulti anu Deg lSuVe 10 lnVlVe your httentlOn 10
an editorial therein referring TO the lynching of
Jack Turner, Of Choctaw County, Alabama.
The writer of this editorial, Mr. William J. Craw-
ford, Is a native Ambamian, first cousin of Mrs.
Commodore Vanderbilt, and near relative of
Georgin's former great statesman, Hon. William
II. Crawford. He was recently elected to the Ala
bama legislature us an Independent, and is n
young gentleman full of sense and anti Bourbon
combativeness. His words in reference TO this
horrible affair worthy of full faith and credit
| and 10 such men as he must the South turn for
deliverance from her ballot stealing tyrants.
The solicitor of this judicial circuit although
one of the princes Of the ballot. box suffers,
knetD Jack Turner tpel, and does not hesitate to
declare that though Turner was the head and
front of his party In Choctaw, he believes he was
perfectly innocent of the miserable crime for
which he was wickedly murdered. Yours, &c.,
WINFIELD s. BIRD.
The following is an extract from the
editorial above referred to:
Every one knows that the white race stand in
no danger at the hands of the black race for they
are only drop in bucket full in point of power
compared to the whites nor has the past shown
that they hare he disposition 10 attempt TO carry out
this foolish idea. The only claim that mob law ever
had to any respect was when the law of the land
could not meet the case but In this instance such
was not the fact.
Southern men are getting ashamed of
such performances; but your Northern
Democrat has stomach for them all.

A ROW OVER ROSSA.
Subscribers to the sktrmishing Fund Ex
citcd-A Noisy Meeting.

Seventy subscribers to the Irish skirmishng
fund met Sunday in New York. 1t was very
lively meeting, and began with Thomas Dever's
resignation of the chair. He had himself SUBJ
scribed more to the skirmshing fund than all the
present trustees put together. He referred to the
rust eaten rotten ram at Jersey City, which, he
said, had cost $4,000, a sample of the way the
money had been sQuandered. Several chairman
were next elected. and in turn declined to serve.
Finally Edward j. Rowe accepted the post.
Then o ODouovan Rosa spoke an hour, defining
his connection with the skirmshing fund. lie
said that he had surrendered about $4,000 to the
present trustees; that he had protested from the
first against the squandering Of the money, and
that the movement against him began when he
began to return money TO dissatisfied contributors
He declared that he had himself received only
500 of the fund for his serrice that DR.. Carroll
had got $1,000, and that Devoy and Bresin
were spending the money to support their
paper. He declared that Trustee John Devoys
subscription to the fund was Just 81.
Mr.. Murphy moved vote of confidence in Mr..
Rosa. MIR. Rosa said he was opposed to it, as 1t
would look like an attempt to whitewash him.
Mr.. Murphy, Mr.. Gleason, and others urged its
adoption Mr.. Gleason called the trustees some
hard names, and Mr. DAILY shouted "They are
better men than you are you renegade"
Mr.. Gleason retored, " / am from Limerick, and
/ will tend to you afterwards"
Then there was great confusion and the meet
ing was on its feet. Friends crowded about both
men aud tried to pacify them, and in the midst OF
the tumult the chairman declared the meeting

Chalmers Again.

Manning, the Bourbon opponent of
Chalmers for Congress, is the man whose
friends drove the negroes away from the
polls at Oxford in that State in 1880 by
discharging into their midst cannon
loaded with blank cartridges. The only
harm done was in setting fire to one
mans clothes by burning wadding. The
negroes got far enough away from the
polling place to give play to whatever
might come from the cannon's mouth.
The "wealth and intelligence" con-
tinued to discharge the cannon for four
hours, by order of the mayor-an alder
man acting as the gunner-at the end of
which time the negroes, who had been
waiting in great numbers to vote, clearly
saw that they would not be allowed to
cast their ballots, and convinced that
something more than blank cartridges
would be used if they attempted to do SO,
they departed for their homes away
from the town.
And now that the Republicans of that
district have indorsed Chalmers, who has
revolted against the Bourbon crowd
| and is running against this same Man
ming, a Mississippi negro has been put on
the track to furnish plausible excuse
for counting some of Chalmers's votes as
| his-all to aid "the wealth and intelli-
gence" to elect Manning. We can under
stand the advantage of this to the Bour-
bons; and Carter, the colored deputy
Democratic candidate, can, of course, I'M
derstand whether it has advantages for
him. We can also understand why it
| pleases q few officeholders who obtained
their places in the departments by Bour-
bon influence; for Lamar Republican is
as faithful to the Bourbons as Lamar
Democrat. But we think that the earn.
est and true friends of free government
will not, upon reflection and upon a true
understanding of the case, doubt the wis.
dom of sustaining Chalmers or withhold
their sympathy and approval from the
Republicans of the second district of Mis-.
sissippi who have, with their eyes open
and upon the strength of Chalmers's oper
declarations, resolved to give him theil
votes. Chalmers publicly declares, in {
letter dated August II, and published il

ANCIENT TROY.
The New Excavations Nearly Com.
pIeted-Two Big Temples.


DR.. Schliemann has nearly completed his new
excavations on the site of ancient Troy. His
wife, in letter to the Athens journal Hestid, de-
scribes their latest discoveries: "Close TO the
spot which we consider to be the site of Troy
there are the remains of two buildings, which, in
the opinion of our two architects, DR.. Dorpied
and Herr oher represent two temples. The ap-
pearance of the two buildings is so different that
they cannot he said to resemble any of the we'll
known ancient temples with the exception of
that of Hera at Olympia. This, according to
PausnniaS, was erected probably about 100 Is. {.
Tire first OF our two temples at Troy l. 80 metres In
length and Is metres in width, while the walls are
Ia metres in thickness. The other temple
is 20 metres long and z m tires broad, tie
walls being IL metres in thickness. 1t Is noticea
BILE that the walls are built III different manner.
In the first there are no jonings with clay but III
the second there are large commi sures hllGd with
clay, which is also slightly burnt The inference
is that the two temples were built at different
periods, and that the first described is older than
the second. AS | have above mentioned, The
breadth of the first temple is thirteen metres, and
the length thirty metres. 1t is scarcely credible
that the roof could be solid aud without any sup
ports, though of the latter at any rate there is
nothing now to he found. Throughout the entire
Had of Homer we find no mention of such sup
ports, while In the Odyssey, where they are
spoken of. they are described as being of wood.
Assuming now that there had been wooden sup
ports in the first temple they could not have
stood on a floor of clay. There must have been
stone foundation beneath them, yet nothing of the
kind Is discovered on the spot"
