Barbarism in Mississippi.

On Christmas night man by the name Of
Posey who was an officer in the R. bel army
during the Rebellion was killed in fracas
at Yazoo City, Miss. Fonr negroes were
promptly arrested and lodged in JAIL Being
negroes there was moi the slightest doubt
but that they would be convicted and
hanged if there was any evidence at all of
their guilt. But the chivary of Mississippi
who but recently looked compacently on
while man was shot dead at the polls be-
cause he dared to vote against the Demo-
cratic candidates, could not wait for the slow
though certain operation of the law in the
case of these four colored men.
A Democrat aud an Rebel officer had
been killed, aud his murderers were ne
groes. Here was case which called for
swiIter vengeance than the law could supply.
Accordingly band of lynchers was crgan-
lied. No precautions were taken to conceal
the identity of its members. Their faces
were not covered with masks nor did they
seek the cover of darkness. Boldly, in broad
daylight they collected to the nu.lber of $50
and marched to the Jail. They battered
down the gate and compelled the taller to
give up the keys to the cells. Their fist
victim they dragged out with rope around
his neck and strung him up over neigh
boring fence. The next vic i'm showed
fight and his head was promptly blown to
fragments by dozen pistols. The cell of
the third resisted all the effort of The band
to break ii, and, not to be thwarted, thew
compelled two negroes who occupied the
cell with him, TO lift him up until they could
see his head when ballet was put through
his brain. When they reached the fourth
victim, finding that they had no rope, they
went out and cut down the first victim from
the fence, took the rope from his neck and
speedily completed their work.
The next day there was coroner's in
quest and the jury reported that they were
unable to ascertain who the lynchers were.
But they had marched in procession through
the toWnsin broad daylight with no DISCUSSES
