ESTABLISHED 1910.

The Radicals and Liberals OF EGG and
have agreed upon programme that prom
ises measure of reform that thirty years
ago few even of the most advanced Irish
Repealers or English Chslrtists wou have
dreamed of as possible. They will shortly
propose the passage of bills providing for
elective county councils and national coun-
ellis for Ireland, Scotland and Walks. To
those at all familiar with the autocratic
grand jury system of Ireland, which con-
fines county management to few fami-
lies, the proposition to elect county
council is more like an arabian Nights
tale than sober reality. 1t is an extreme
ly radical measure, and will absolutely de-
liver to the people of Ireland the manage
ment Of their most intimate public sf-
fairs. With that and a national council
Ireland ought to take new lease on life
and make herself felt among the nations.

ESPECIAL TO THE APPsAL-l
GRENADA, Miss, July 7.-Our town
was thrown into culver. of excitement
this evening About 6 o'clock, as the
officers were carrying Felix Williams,
colored, recently sentenced to the peniteu-
tlary for life, to the depot, for the pUr-
pose of sending him on the 6 clock
train to jackson, crowd of about
twenty-five from the country, backed by
many others not visible but OF haud,
violently took Williams before getting to
the train from the officers and then pro
proceeded to the jail aud got his accom-
plice, Perry McChristian, colored, SEN
fenced to death, and carried them
across the Boque on the east side of
town.
These men were well armed with shot
guns and pistols, and were fully bent on
executing summary justice on two ac-
knowledged murderers, as was proven
and confessed after taking them across
the Boque creek, one mile from town.
Felix Williams confessed to the murder
of two peddlers, and implicatedt wo other
negroes besides McChIistian, who were
tried here yesterday and acquitted, and
who skipped. They were allowed TO pray
and sing a hymn, when the ropes were
thrown across two limbs on the same
tree, and they were swung into eternity.
Their bodies have not as yet been re-
moved. McChrIstian died protesting his
innocence. The county will be secured
for the two negroes acquitted yesterday,
and, if caught, will have the same pun
ishment.

THE election of Mr.. Cole as county

is not a civil engineer, and is therefore
not equal to the demands of the position.

is only twenty five years old it is es-

a man of his years he enjoys in a remark
able degree the confidence, of the
