Election News.
MIS- SISSTPPI.

AT the hour Of going 10 press. full
returns cannot 0e had, but enough
is known to indicate q general Demo
cratic victory throughout the State.
Copiah has gone Democratic by
Il good majority; Jefferson by several
hundred; Franklin is claimed by
both the Magee and Johnson men;
Pike, as usual, is all right for the
Dem 'cratic nominees, and Lawrence
comes up with a good Democratic
m jority for Dickson, Dale, Cannon
and the rest Of the ticket. News re-
garding the vote for District-Attor-
ney in this district comes in tardily,
but the probability i, that McLaiu
is elected in the district, notwith
standing Deas0n's large maj prity at
home. Jefferson gave McLaln a
majority Of 500.
Fusion won the day in Adams,
Kinds, Madison, Pamela, Washing
ton, etc: but in Kinds the contest
was very close, and Hamilton came
near failing to get to the Senate.
OTHER STATES.
Tue Democrats carried New York,
New Jersey and Maryland.
Connecticut. Pennsylvania, Min
pesota. Nebraska, aud Kansas go
Republican, as was expected.
A regular political cyclone struck
Ben Batter in M lssdchusetts. Rob
inson is elected Governor, and the
Senate and House or both Repubii-
can.
Virginia is claimed by both Demo
Gratis and the Malone Realjusters.
Six negroes were killed at Danville
Saturday, and two at Stanton on
election day, growing out of political
excitement.

BIOOd.iaed in COpiah.

AS might have been expected, the
heated canvass in COpiah county
has terminated in violence and
blood shed. The first demonstration of
this sort was on the night of Oct.
25th when a band Of armed men
took three negroes from their houses
in the southwestern portion of the
county and severely whipped them;
and then called upon an old negro
on a neighboring place and called
him from his bed and riddlcd him
with buckshot and also wounded his
wifi.
The final tragedy was the shooting
of j. P. Matthews, with double
barrel shotgun on election day, by
man named Ras. Wheeler, just at
the moment when Matthews had
stepped up to the voting place in
Haziehurst and deposited his ballot.
Matthews was q bold and daring
political agitator, opposed to Demo
cracy, and had on this account, we
are informed, been waited upon by
body of armed men the day previous
and ordered to leave the county for
As hours, or else remain on his prem
Uses during election day and not
venture near the polls, at the peril
of his life. Nothing daunted. when
election day came, pistol in hand,
he walked to the polls and desposit-
ed his ballot, and we have already
stated what followed.
After the killing of Matthews the
excitement was so intense in Halle
hurst Mayor Hargrave appealed to
Governor Lowry for militia to pre-
vent further disturbance, and the
Governor at once ordered Capt. Geo.
S. Green and his company of Capital
Light Guards to repair to Hazlehurst
and MAINTAIN order. Fortunately, no
other trouble has since occurred.
Troubles on election day are re
ported at other places IN the county
but we have no particulars.
Whether the condition Of affairs
in Copiah, and the questions of issue,
were Of sufficient Importance to justi.
fly such desperate and high-handed
measures as we here sec, we are not
fully prepared at this writing to an
swer, but we are strongly impressed
by the lights before us. that they
were not, and that violence has been
excited aud resorted to without
due cause. Be this as it may, such
a condition of affairs is terrible, and
will do the county more lasting and
serious harm than last Aprl's tor
nado. No amount Of condemnation
of the instigaters Of these troubles
will be too great, no matter whom
they are nor to what party they be
long, and we hope an Intelligent and
unprejudiced public will not hest
tate t. award them their just de-
serts

The above tribute by the members
of the Woodville Bar does no more
than justice to the many high quail
ties displayed by Judge Chrisman
since his elevation to the Bench.
His ability as a sound exponent of
law is unquestioned. His extreme
conscient;ousness is a marked fea-
ture in all his rulings. and his eXecu
tive ability is, undeniably, of a very
high order.
In these attributes we believe that
we have summed up the requisites of
an efficient Judge, and in none of
them has Judge Chrisman been found
wanting.
1t is rumored that an effort is be
ing made to prevent his reappoint-
ment to the Judgeship of this Dis
trict. In view of the usual desire of
hungry aspirants to fill any and ali
vacancies that occur, this is not to
be wondered at, but we sincerely
trust that Governor Lowry win be so
far true to the high duties of his
office as to reappoint an able, up
right and efficient Judge, who has
borne the ermine upon his shoulders
without stain, and lent confidence to
the administration of Justice
wherever he has presided.
To do otherwise is simply to fur
nish another illustration of the ne
cessity of the people rssuming, to
themselves, the power of filing the
Judicial offices of the State.

AYERS CATHARTIc PILLS are the best
Of all purgatives for family use. They
are the product Of long, laborious, and
successful chemical investigation, and
their extensive use, by physicians in
their practice, and by all civilized ma
tions, proves them the best and most
effectual purgative Pill that medical
science can devise. Being purely veg
etable no harm can arise from their
use, and being sugar-coated. they are
pleasant to take. In intrinsic value
and curative powers no other Pills
can be compared with them; and every
person, knowing their virtues, will
employ them, when needed. They
keep the system in perfect order, and
maintain in healthy action the whole
machinery of life. Mild, searching and
effectual, they are especially adapted
to the needs Of the digestive apparatus,
arrangements of which they prevent
and cure, if timely taken. They are
the best and safest physic to employ
for children and weakened constitu-
tons, where q mild but efectual
cathartic Is required.

The subject Of entertaining and wholesome
reading for the family circle is one of prac.
teal interest in every household. It cannot
be denied that the tendency of the American
press is in too large degree toward sensa-
tionalism, and in some instances even the
sentiments of purity and eacredDees prove
an insufficient barrier against the slipper
vadipg desire of being novel and startling N
the presentation of news. The exceptions to
this common rule among the metropolitan
journals of the day are so few as to be wor-
thy of notice when encountered. The Chi
csgo Weekly News is one of the few papers
of which it may be strictly said that nothing
Objectionable to pure thought and morality
ever appears in ITS columns. 1t is an enter.
prising paper-none in the West more 80
but more than that, it is a clean paper, one
which it is safe to take into the family cir

THOUoAND FIVE HUNDRED

THOUsAND FIVE HUNDRED
A wonderful feat, even for this age OF
wonderful things, was performed over the
line of the Western Union telegraph COM
psny few days ago, says the Kansas City
Journal, at which time President w. B.
Strong, of the Atchison, Topeka 4 Santa Ee
railway, talked bv telegraph from Boston
with C. G. Wheeler, general manager of the
company at Guaymas, on the Gulf OF Cali
fornis, distance of about $500 miles. The
circuit, it is claimed by telegraph experts,
is the longest ever undertaken in America
during daylight, and was from Boston to
Chicago, thence to Kansas City and Pueblo.
COL, from which the wire ran south 10 anci-
ent Santa Fe, N. NJ, the homo of the fire
worshiping Pueblos, and then to Benson, in
the southern portion of Arisona. At Benson
the wire led south across the line into old
Mexico, through Sonora to Guaymas, on the
Gulf of California, where some day line of
rail will also connect with chihuahua. At
Guaymas General Manager Wheeler and
party, who few hours before had driven .
silver spike into mahogany tie, completing
the line of the Santa Fe road from Kansas
City to the Pacific ocean, were in waiting,
and about IL o'clock by Pacific coast time
the announcement was made Boston was
20. T."
"Tick-tick-tick-tick," clicked the little
instrument beneath the telegrapher's hand
at Guaymas; "tick-tick.tick-tick," though
very family, spoke the instrument as the
sound passed through the Kansas City Office,
and the same instant il was heard in Boston. |
In less than five seconds came the reply
from Boston, where President Strong was 10
waiting. The answer being heard at Quay
mas, the two chief executive officers OF the
longest continuous line of railway in the
world under one management, talked with
each other, receiving and sending congrat-
ulatory messages over the completion of the |
road, one with the Atlantic ocean At his feet,
and the other on . shore washed BY the
Pacific, $500 miles away. At stations be-
tween the two points, in states and terrific |
ries through which the wire passed, opera |
tors listened at the instruments for the FIRST
sound, and when at laet the circuit was in
good working order, all that was being said
was heard at different points as the sound
passed over the wires The feat was one
which operators from one end of the country
to tie other watched with interest, and, at
the end of the FIVE hours test, they might
truly have said, one to another, "What hath
God wrought"
