IL is a matter OF much regret with those
who think with the Committee OF Forty
that the New York Times, in quoting
from Judge Blackwell in its account OF
our recent troubles, should have classed
him as Democrat. He was once nomi-
natedior.the Senate by the Simon-Pure Re
adjusters, and was afterwards elected

Strader is now i'm critical condition. IL
seems that party was at work on one OF
the county roads and that the hoe OF Mr.
Strader got hung under that OF Williams,
wnereupon Williams insuIted Mr.. Strader.
Williams afterwards followed Strader from
place to place in the working party and
took occasion again and again 10 hang his
hoe under that OF Mr.. Strader and to re-
peat his insulting language, and at last
Strader struck him on the shoulder with
his hoe, and the helve having been broken
Williams had him at disadvantage.
1t is supposed that an organized band OF
robbers have been operating here during
the last several DAYS. Attempts have been
made to enter five OF the stores and several
private residences. An effort to fire one
building was also made.
Revival services have been in progress at
the Baptist church nearly three weeks, and
the congregations have been large and much

A tribe OF Indians having tails from six

timidation of colored voters by colored
leaders. Certainly the largest vote was
polled on both sides which was ever polled
in the history Of the county. The regis
tration shows that whites and blacks are
very nearly equal. The Democratic vote
was 1,f64; the Republican 1,244. II is
estimated that about sixty white men voted
the Republican ticket. The Democrats
made a noble and manly fight. Such an
outpouring Of colored voters was never be-
fore known in this section. Nobody ever
