Unblushing EHrontery.

The gall Of the Courier is remark
able. It taunts us with cutting down
expenses in the conduct of this Office, as
lift was not legitimate business to cut
down expenses and economic in every
branch Of business. It says we have re-
duced the size of the paper, when the
fact il that the proposition to reduce
both papers came from the Courier ; and
more than that when we let them have
al the large paper we had, in order for
them to keep up the large size until
about the first of November when by
mutual agreement we were both to cut
down.
Now once for all We will say that we
have no jealousy af the Courier. It ex-
srsa1sa- ITO Yxlf- agzin by charming paners
with mud ding:ng when they have ex-
celled in that line. The CHRONICLE has
been abused, because it was not more
bitter, but we have realized all along
that the general public were disguised
with such things.
We have maintained all through the
contest digni6ed and respectable bear
ing towards our political opponents and
for that we have our own respect, whe-
ther we command that of anyone else or
not.
Bng, with his loud noise was consid.
cred . good dog, but Hold Fast was q
better. We are reminded by their
boasts of the old fable of the frog and the
OK, the frog may blow himself mp but he
can never attain the size of the OK.
Now that the election Il over and the
contest settled, We have no disposition
to do otherwise than to bow to the de.
cision rendered at the polls. We have
no bitternesses or revenees to crafty.
"Vox populi, vox Del" is our motto. We
shall now turn our attention to other i'm
portant matters.
The result in one particular and in
which we claimed to haye aided is that
Gallatin county will not be divided. To
us, that was paramount issue and upon
that We fought. The general result will
be commented upon elsewhere.

Probably never before have the cattle
raisers Of the West been in better spirits
than during the present season. Prices
in some cases may MT be quite so high
at present, nor the profits be anything in
excess of other years, but still there
seems to prevail . good healthy feeling
of satisfaction, all things considered.
True the fall trade is attended with some
drawbacks, as will always he the case
in this or any other line Of business, but
up to date the receipts of cattle at Chica-
60 and other points have been moderate,
and this has had q tendency to keep the
market steady. In no case have ship
pers been compelled to sell at losing fig-
ures on account Of the market being glut
ted or over supplied

The election has passed and the DEM
ocratic County ticket with the exception

minor Offices has been defeated. The
causes which have led to this are several
but the most potent factor has been that
the entire railroad vote was cast solid for
the Republican party. Outside of this,
the chances of several of the candidates
on the Republican ticket were favorable
from local causes; but it remains as q
fact that had the railroad vote not been
cast solid and been as the individual pre-
1erred, the Democratic ticket in the
main would have been elected. This
suggests reflection on the part Of the cit
liens not alone of this county but of the
whole territory, and that is, that we are
fast becoming fastened in the clutches OF
this corporation and we will awake to a
full realization, we fear, when it is too
late.
We have no fault to find with the Of.
hcen elect. They are neighbors and
friends and we believe honorable gentle
men and will discharge their duties we'll.
Let no one imagine however, that they
viii not take Ill the fees which the law
allows them; nor let them imagine that
they have gained positions in which they
will grow wealthy. No doubt the next
Legislature will reduce many Of the fees
now charged and no doubt in some in.
stances it will be justiible.

had sat for half an hour beside Mr.. Voorhees, in

Mr.. Forney, of Alabama, who afterward SAID
that Mcdonald was at present ahead OF anybody
else in the Democratic race. But, SAID he,
che won't get the nomination. He has now more
votes than any other one man, but he has not
half the whole number, and the opposition of

Mr. Forney is protectionist and friend OF

He does not regard Mr. Randall as the man to
be nominated. When asked about his chances,
he said: ''Mr. Randall is strong. He could
hold Pennsylvania and would carry all the
doubtful States. but he is unavailable on &C

Nov 3, and complimented him There were APP
prehensions of secret buTnings 1t was the gen
eral opinion of the whites in the South that the
colored people when not misled, were inotfensive.
There was no animosty. The changed conduct
of the negroes was attributable to bad advisers.
Coalition rule was the worst rule any people were
ever cursed with. A colored man was not safe
in being Democrat The colored Democrats
were ostracsed Their wives threatenedto leave
them. The women had a lodge among them
selves for the purpose of keeping the men
straight. The white leaders of the party incul-
Gated that sentiment. The same ostracism did
not extend to the whites when they turned Re
pubhcans
Chas D Noel, (white) whose quarrel with the
negro Lawson preceded the general riot, was
called to the witness chair and described the
difficulty His story did not vary from that so
frequently published.
Charles G. Freeman twhite) a policeman of
Danville, was called. He was Democrat He
described the efforts to disperse the crowd Of
colored men. They replied they had been
mistreated and were going to have their rights
before they left. The witness remarked: "Woll,
you all Just remain here few minutes and &C
cording to all appearance you'll get en-" The
witness saw fifteen or twenty colored people
with pistols.
Mathew P. Jordan (white) was called, and in
reply to Senator Shernans question described
the riot. The witness was armed. He declined
to say whether he fired He declined for salts
factory reasons. Inc witness bought MS pistol
three or four days before the riot. He pur-
chased it for the protection of himself and
family. The negroes were turbulent and inso-
lent.
Lemon Coleman (colored), acergyman of Dan
vile, had lived in Danville about fifty years.
Heard some one cry murder and went toward
the scene, but did not reach it. Was met by the
retreating crowd of blacks and sought safety
from flying bullets in a store. While in there he
looked and saw a white man raise his pistol and
fire, and another white man fall He remarked
to the storekeeper Oar! white man has shot
another white man"
John Stone (colored), said the colored people
generally did not vote election day. He
asked great many to vote: They refused, say
ing they were not going to be slaughtered
In reply to Senator Vance, the witness said he
was not interfered with on election day One
man had said something which he didn't consider
pleasant.
Senator Sherman asked what it was.
The witness said plank railing separated the
white from the colored voters as they went to
the ballot-box. white mans dog ran under

dog, Come back on this side you not mig

Killing of Matthews and Others at Hail
hurst.

Killing of Matthews and Others at Halle
hurst.
NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 15.-The subcommittee
of the Senate committee ON privileges and cleo
tons met in the custom house to-day.
Leon H. Matthews, brother of j. P. Matthews
killed at Hazlehurst, Copiah county Miss, said
he had lived there all his life, and was candi-
date at the election on Nov. T. He considered
the voting population, as to color, about equal
but thought the eolored people had small ma
jority, He believed the Independents had 500
majority in the county, but the. Democrats car
vassed the county together There were
some slight disturbances after the cai-
vass and clubs were organized by
the Democrats, who went armed and mounted.
They murdered some whipped others. and
put ropes around the necks of others but did not
hang them. On the day before the election he
saw an armed mob at Hazlehurst. They sent
message to his brother warning him not to vote
the next day. few days before the election
the colored church was burned. The Indepen-
dents had attempted to organize club there.
The mob carried a cannon all over the county,
and fired it occasionally. Armed bands notified
the Matthews family thatif any trouble occurred
the latter would be held responsible. Some
men in the mob owed him and his
brother for goods. AS soon as the
polls were opened Nov j. P. Matthews
went to vote, and was shot down by
Wheeler just as his name was checked on the
poll list The witness learned this from the
election officers. An armed mob, riding over
the county before the election, declared they
would carry the election with shotguns, if neces-
sary. The witness gave the names of number
of persons in the armed mob, among them J. L.
Mead, chairman of the Democratic committee of
Copiah county. The witness mentioned the kill
ing of Frank Sage and the shooting
of his wife, whipping of Henry Potter,
on SO,ifb
and other assaults on eoored men,
by an armed mob The witness made state
ment concerning the efforts of his brother, him
county officials take some action to check the
outrages, and finally applied to the Governor,
but nothing was done.
A w Burnett. chairman of the Independent
executive committee, testified substantially con
frming the testimony of the witnesses as to
outrages and efforts made by officials to stop
them. All witnesses testified that nothing had
been done to Wheeler for killing Matthews nor
to Hays for shooting Burnett.
