COTTRBLL's LAST AOT.
The Notorious Ex-Mayor Killed by a Chic
of Police.


OF Police.
Ex-Mayor Cottrell, of Key West, who
few weeks ago terrorized the Florida
Federal officials and escaped to Alabama,
was shot and instantly killed Thursday
morning by Chief of Police Gerald, of
Montgomery, Ala. Cottrell was drunk
the night before, and was arrested by
the police. He insulted the chief and
challenged him to fight duel. The
chief, in consequence of the threats of
Cottrell, had armed himself with dou-
ble-barreled shotgun. and was sitting
outside of his office Thursday morning
when Cottroll drove up in a cab.
After few words had been ex-
changed both men began firing,
with the result given above. Chief
Gerald, soon after the shooting, entered
his Office, and, passing out the rear door,
got in buggy and was driven to the
sheriffs office, where he gave himself
up. Cottrell was from one of the best
families in Alabama, and when sober
was regarded as an excellent citizen,
but when under the influence of drink
was reckless and desperate. He was
married eight mont this ago to daughter
of Congressman Henderson, of North
Carolina. Captain Gerald, his slayer, is
one OF the kest known men in Mont
gomery, where he has practically spent
all of his life He has been chief of po-
lice of Montgomery for the past ten or
twelve years.

Slim Chance for Ingalls

An estimate of the result of the cleo
tion in Kansas, so far as it affects the
complexion of the Legislature, gives
the following figures: Republicans, rs;
anti-Republicans, including Farmers
Alliance and Democrats, 80. That Mr..
ingalls, can not be reelected seems
pretty sure. His successor will proba-
bly, be either Willets, Farmers Alliance
candidate for Governor, or Robinson,
the Democratic candidate. If Mr.. Will
let's is beaten for Governor he will prob
ably be sent to the Senate. If Mr.. Will
lets is elected Governor Mr.. Robinson
will probably be centered upon by tho
Democrats and Alliance men.

A SURPLUS OF DEMOCRATS.
The Democratic Side of the House Will
Not Hold All of them.

The Democratic Side of the House Will
Not Hold All of them.
The proportion of Democrats to Re-
publicans in the newly-elected Congress
seems to be about two to one. In the
makeup of committees this will neces-
state party division, two-thlrds Demo-
cratic and one-third Republican, in or
der that there may be Republicans
enough to 60 around. For instance, there
are fifteen members on the Elec-
tions Committee. In the pres
ent House this is made up of
eight Republicans and seven Demo-
ocrats. In the next House it will be
about ten Democrats and five Republic
ans. The Republican minority, there
fore, has plenty of hard work before it
in committee assignments. In seating
the members of the Fifty-second Con-
gress the Democratic side will not hold
all of their number, and the overflow
will have to be seated with the Repub-
licans across the aisle. There will be
332 members in the next House, which
necessitates division Of seats of 166 to
each side to make the hall look uniform.
This plan will keep the few Republic
ans from becoming lonesome.

have won, and Edwin s. Wilson, Of
Olney, is elected State Treasurer by H.
436, and Henry Raab, of Bellville, Su-
perintendent Of Public Instruction by

Some slight changes discovered in
computing the official count in several
counties in Pennsylvania bring the plur-
ality for Pattison (Dem.) for Governor
up to 17,25s. Watres (Rep.) for Lieuten-
ant-Governor has 1s,675 plurality, and
Steward, R., for Secretary of Internal

Riot and disorder viii follow, disturb
ing the course Of business and plung-
ing society into confusion. 1t is not to
be expected that the whites viii quiet
ly submit to the rule of negro majori-
ties, be the law what it may. The
people of Massachusetts, would not
tolerate that ignoble domination
neither win the people of Mississippi.
No man who understands the situation
here can doubt that Southern whites
will ind some means, good or bad, OF
evading this oppressive law, and OF
defeating its purpose. Negro rule in
these States is at an end forever, and
Congress cannot re-establish it. though
their efforts in that direction may work
infinite damage to the country before
the folly Of the attempt is sufficiently
demonstrated to them.
Meanwhile, what will our convention
do in view of this impending emer
gency? VIII it resolutely restrict the
suffrage so as to put the whites in
secure and lawful control of the Stat,
government, or will it lack the courage
and the patriotism to do this, ant
choose rather to leave Mississippi t.
struggle as best she may against tn,
evils threatened by the force bill? p

TO readers of the Times-Democrat:
DR.. Ensor, who is one of the few
Republican carpet-baggcrs left in South

old friend, Senator Plumb, when he
was last In Washington several weeks
ago. and complaining, as usual, that
he could get not elected 10 Congress
from South Carolina because his white
neighbors did not like his associating
politically with negroes.

business-like way, "wbat do you stay

out and leave? Come out to Kansas
There's plenty of room out there fol-
YOU to run for Congress"
aWell." DIR. Ensor said, "I don't want
to come away. l have some property
there, aud ] want to stay there; but
would like to come to Congress, and
could, too, if you would pass the Fed
eral election BILL" :.
aYes,r said Plumb, "thats just 1t
You fellows can't get elected to Con
press unless you have an army at youl
back. Well, now, the day for that sor1
of thing is past In this country ant
will never come back again. We trie,
that matter very fully under Grant

A Reunion OF the Lefore Family at
"MaImals0n."

EDITOR TINES:
Twas on the grand aud glorious 4th
that the descendants OF Greenwood
Leflore had reunion, consisting of all
the children, grandchildren and great
grandchildren, at the beautiful and
now historic home of the family resi-
dence, "Malmaison." Mrs Greenwood
Lehore, mother, grandmother, and
great grandmother, whose soul seemed
set upon this occasion, still lives in en-
joyment Of good health, and who of all
enjoyed the occasion most. While yet
quite old and somewhat feeble, she
passed through the day with compara-
tivcly little fatigue, and when the fam
lily, consisting of some 40 In number,
gathered around her to unite in the
beautiful parting song, "God be with
us until we meet again. she was not
content with this, but before the part
ing she was escorted to the great bluff
just beyond the front gate overlooking
a beautiful plain, anu in view
Oft the G. P. Road, where the flag of the
Union was planted. Under this ban
ner she was seated, and around her
grouped the happy family proclaiming
love and peace, with waving hats and
handkerchief to the crowded trains
as they passed through the lovely val
ley en- route for Greenville, the Queen
City of the Delta. Something more
than mere admiration lay within the
fold Of the dear old flag which foated
to the breeze, tapping sounds Of peace,
peace, to free America. Twas the
idol of him In whose honor this occa-
sion was suggested. Greenwood Le-
fore, late Choctaw Chief and who
made treaty with President Jackson
loved the flag and loved the Union
He was loyal from the day of his treaty
with the Union to his dying bed. liz
summoned to his bedside, when
he knew that he was in deaths arms
four (only) grandchildren, requesting
them to unfold those colors, and each
holding to a corner just over bis pill
low in view of his dim sight, fast
fading into death. Death came, ant
at his request he was enshroudet
with this flag. Only three o
those of the grandchildren partici
pating In this sad and patrioti
occasion now live-Mrs. Edgar Yves
of Grenada, Mrs. W. i. Ray Q
Greenville and Mrs. Chas. Trimbl
of Grenada. The reunion of this olt
and famous family is pleasant an'
happy event, aud one that will ever b.
remembered by the descendants Of tn
chief of the Choctaws with feelings o
great pleasure. -
