Killed BIZ G Jersey Bull.

We learn this, Wednesday morning,
that Little Marina Ready, the four. year.
old daughter of Mr.. s. t. Ready, is dead.
And ne chronicle the sad event with
profound regret. The circumstances Of
her death were peculiarly tragic. On
yesterday morning while the family were
at breakfast the little girl wandered out
to the stables and unfortunately entered
the stable wherein WAS confined a large
Jersey bull. These animals are usually
vicious and the one referred to above ia
no exception. The innocent little girl
was then at the mercy of the ferocioua
animal, which showed no mercy. The
child was tossed about and gored in 9
most horrible manner, and no doubt
would have been .mutilated beyond re.
cognition but for the fact that it was
tossed behind a plank and beyond the
reach of the infuriated beast, where it
was found in an unconscious state.
Medical aid was at once summoned,
but if we mistake not, the little girl did
not return to consciousness. She died
early this morning. The sympathies
of many friends are with the family
in their sad Observation-Disclosures
Monitor.

A Check on Chamberlain.

WASHINGTON, February 2S.--In the
course of the last two Of three months
the President has had numerous CONVEX
sations with Senators and Representatives
on the subject of Southern affairs. AS
intimated in his annual message, he is in
favor Of the passage off supplementary
Federal election law, but it is understood
that be is not willing to go to the extreme
length advocated by such malignant
demagogues as Chandler aud others.
Any law designed to control the manner
of elections must be framed to meet his
views; otherwise he is not the man to
sign it. It is not believed he will be
inclined to favor any measure the effect
of which would be to interfere or iufu-
ence in any way the local elections in the
South. Mr.. Harrison is strong parti.
san, but he has always been strict con-
structionist of the Constitution, and &C.
cording to the reports of those who have
talked with him, be finds no warrant,
under existing circumstances, for any
attempted interference by Congress with
local government in the South.
The hope and design of such men as
Chandler is to pass measure broad
enough to make Federal appointees
practically supervisors of local elections
ia the South. The initial step in this
.-ngramme was his presentation in the
Senate yesterday ola cooked up Peti
tion relative to the Arkansas State cleo
ton of 1883. There are Republicans in
both houses. however, who share the
opinions of the President and will not be
inclined to crafty Chaudler's malignity.
Whatever election measure is fnally
passed will in all probability be confined
to regulations concerning the manner OF
election of members of the House OF
Representatives. The idea Of the Re-
publicans is that law can be framed
the result of which will be to give them
sufficient number of Congressional
districts in the South to overbalance
| anything short of an overwhelming tidal
wave in favor of the Democracy in the
North. The President and some other
leading Republicans think the party
should be satisfied with this Such cal:
culation is not sound because it is based
| on the assumption that the entire negro
vote is to be held in perpetual slavery by
the Republican party. y.-Raltimors Sun.

That Mysterious Meeting at Belton.


The Observer saw Jos. L. Keitt, of this
County, on Saturday, just after his re.
turn from the Convention at Belton, and
tried to interview him on the subject,
telling him that re had no desire to try
to pry into Alliance secrets, but would
like to keep posted on all the politics of
the day and the district. Mr.. Keitt was
quite pleasant and allowed the Observer to
ask him a great many questionsI but
most Of the questions still remain unan.

Mr.. Keitt said that the delegates from
this County to the Belton Convention
we're W. D. Hardy, John T. Duncan,
John G. Neel and himself. he and Mr..
Duncan attended the convention; ;
Mes.rs. Hardy and Neel did not, but
DR.. D. 81. Wertz attended in place Of
MI. Hardy. We did not ask Mr.. Keitt
whether they were elected delegates by
the County Alliance, for that would be
an Alliance secret. We did ask him,
however, the object of the convention,
but he declined quite pleasantly to tell.
We also asked if the purpose sas IT,
select or endorse some particular candi
date for Congress, to be supported by the
Alliance; but he declined to say. He
said, however, that the convention was

and proceedings would come ou: later on.
Being asked why Abbeville and An.

delegates in the convention, Mr.. Keitt
said 1t was because their County Alli-

for the Bolton conyentibh Was made, but
that there would be ahothef district con-

It was ten years this month, and was

from the West with three horses to sell,

him in Jail. He never denied that he
stole 'em, and one night the boys turned
out and hung him to tree over there.
That used to be our way of discouraging
the business, and believe it is practiced
farther West. We buried him near the
tree, and it was his grave I was looking
for"
"Never denied it, eh ?" queried one of
the listeners.
"Never, did, although we gave him
every chance. Just a week from the
time he was hung we found ont that he
was an honest, honorable farmer, living
about forty miles below us. While he
hadn't stolen the horses, he had killed
man, and be no doubt believed that we
were hanging him for that. We felt
mean enough when we discovered that he
was no horse-thief, aud that all he had
done was to pop man over, and Kan.
