ous disappearance, TO the following effect:

peared from her home on Penn street, in an

are fearful shs may have been deceived and
ovextaken by some i'll fate. The family is
we'll connecled in 81. Louis and Chicago, and
the matter has thus far been kept secret.

JACKSON, Miss, August 13.-Saturday
night, between the hours Of IL and II O'Clock,
John Pesson wss assassinated by some un-
known person. He lived about four miles
ess. Of here. When the fatal shot was fred
he was going from his store to his residence

coward that did the shooting waited until he
had gained the inclosure, and when his back
wss turned fired lead into his head from .
shotgun, which produced instant death. His
body was not discovered or the shooting
known until the next morning. he was .
respected aud honored citizen of the county ;
no man stood higher and had more friends or
fewer enemies than he. There ia no clew to
the perpetrator. Great indignation pre-
walls in the community, and no stone will be
Ief. uoturned to ferret out the guilty party;
if found lynch law will undoubtedly be re-
sorted to. Tne jury returned verdict in ac-
cordaDce with the above.

CINcIsNATI, August 13-Ths reports cir

Cincinnati merchants do not own over 2,000,-

the bulk Of this is held by wealthy men,
who would not be hurt if il all should be

REPUBLICANS.

REPUBLICANS.
Washington special: Editor Chase, OF the
Washington Bee, very intelligent oolored
man, was asked to-day what there was in the
independent movement among the colored
men of the country, which is just beginning
to attract genersl attention. He said that
the movement was insignificant and that it
worthy attention. The leaders in the
movement were lew in number and of
comparatively little influence. They
wers the editors of the Savannah Echo
and the New York G ODE; P. II. Clark, OF
Ono, supporter of HoAdiy; Willism StIle.
of Phiiadelp phis; George F. Downiog, Cf
Providence, r. l. The Echo is independent
only as to local affairs. Od national ifsIts
it is relisbly Republican. The Globe ia sb'y
edited, but has no icfuence except with its
readers. OF the 120 papers 10 the Uaited
States edited by colored men, lis are relia-
