The Scherling Murder.

Henry Scherling, who was mys-
teriously murdered in Washington
parish, La, on the 7th inst. is said
to have been the son of Charles
ScheTling, who resided here a good
many years ago, and owned the
property known as Ligon's store,
which was burned some years ago.
Henry Scherling, as a boy, will be
remembered by some of our older
citizens. He has been living in
Louisiana for good many years,
where he was known as a desper
ate character. He had killed sew
eral men and was said to have been
concerned in several raids with the
notorious Bunch, Hopgood and the
like. Through the spirit of re-
venge, or for the sake of gain, Hen
ry Scherling made arrangements
with the officers for the betrayal of
his pals. In attempting to carry
ont his plans, he was betrayed,
drawn into ambush and shot. Itis
thought Bunch or HOpgood, with
several others done the killing.
He was shot twice in the head and
once in his chest. He fell with his
pistol in his hand. Scherling came
here two years ago with a race nag.

AFoulAssnssination.
DEC0YED IRON HONE. AND sHC

On Wednesday eve, about dark,
10 inst, a most 5ia5olical crime
was committed on the place Of Mr..
/ P, c. Webb, near Bates Mill, this
eoBniy. A negro named Ab. Bry-
ant went to bis field to drive out
some hogs and vas foully assassin
ated By some one lying in wait,
with a double barreled shotgun.
/ Il seems that the hogs belonged to
Bryant, and be had said if they got
in his corn patch again, be would
shoot them, and SO took his gun to
the field with him. Justice Viii
liams summoned the following Jury
next day: J NJ Brum6eld; JEFF An
derson, Albert Robinson, Geo. Ho-
nea, E N Newman and Mr.. Bostick.
The evidence before the Jury SEEM
ed to show That the fence was torn
down and the hogs driven in, in or
der to decoy the negro TO the field,
and that after shooting the negro
with buckshot, they went up to him
and blowed his head completely off
with his own shotgun. There was
sufficient evidence before the jury
to Justify them in Issuing a warrant
for Jack Cleveland and one Spears,
both white, formerly of Amite, but
now said to reside in Pike. A war.
rant was placed in the hands of
Jesse Tate, constable, who went af-
ter them, but later reports say they
have skipped the country. The
guilty ones, when caught, should
and will be dealt with as the law
directs. 1t is said the killing grew
out of a gambling Scrape in which
the negro came out first best. IfI
a white man puts himself on equal |
ity with negroes, he should take |
what he gets. Bryant was a son of
Alf. Bryant, well known to every I
one in that section, and said to
have been very good negro. At
any rate he was considerably better
than the man who laid him out.
We also heard that every thing was
in readiness for the hanging of one
Patterson on suspicion, but Mr..
Robinson appeared on the scene in
time TO save his neck. This shows
what would have happened to the
guilty one, and also shows that it is
best not to be too hasty.

Is it not singular that Amite has
some sons who are wiser and more
conscientious than Grover Cleve.
land? We see them every day.
They belong to the Third party
When the writer learned this be
marveled, How suddenly do people
sometimes emerge from intellectual
darkness into light With what
alacrity do our own patriotic young
men seize upon fraud and cling to
it with bulldog tenacity until it
disappearsl Our friend Grover
appears TO be shipwrecked Oh sea
of politics. 1t seems he didn't
treat the Silver bill properly. l
verify believe there are men in the
Third party who reconstruct Cleve-
land to-day, and who do not know
the first principle of the famous
Silver bill. The greatest defender
Of democratic principles, the man
who preserved the wealth of this
country, and attended to the duties
of the greatest Office in the gilt of
the people with almost super-human
energy and intelligence, is bias
phemed by people of this county
who know nothing of the Silver
bill, except what has been told them
by those who expect to be "heard
for their much speaking"
l assume that if GroverCleveland
had not been an honest man, and
had, at the same time, wanted to
be our next President, he would
never have taken the stand he to-
day occupies in regard to the Silver
bill. Assuming then that lie is
honest, you say he is unwise. For
Heavens sake rake up from around
US the men who say so, and let
them attack Cleveland's record.
and at the same time let US take a
good look at them before they de-
part. Some say Grover made a
fearful mistake; so did Napoleon
at Waterloo; so did our mutual
friend Washington at Princeton;
SO did Jefferson Davis when be
thought secession right, and that
maintainable. Thus We see that
all men are liable to err. l heard
an intelligent democrat say this:
cleveland may have been wrong;
but he knows more in a minute |
han | would learn in year, and l
will follow him." Let the Third |
party follow Weaver, which we
would strenuously oppose, ,and who,
lmong the wise democrats, will not
predict a condition of distress and
.uin equal to the worst consequences
# famine or of war? In those days

speaking at Zion Hill.

Editor Herald-As I have been
requested by friends, l will give
your readers a brief account Of the
speaking at Zion Hill, on the 18Th
inst. The speaking was announced
for 2 p. m. Owing to the continu-
ed heavy rain, there were not as
many present as was expected,
however, we had about forty voters
present. Hon. W. H. Griffin and
Mr.. II, c. Hughes were there to
speak for the Peoples party. Mr..
Gill, of Liberty, and Mr.. A. F
Strawn, of Gloster, two young
lawyers, were present to speak for
the Democrats. Division Of time
was as follows: Hughes opened with
a As minutes speech, Gill 45 mi.
nules, Strawn As minutes, and
Griffin closed with 60 minutes.
Mr.. Hughes gave us, as is usual
with him, some facts and figures,
in his quiet, earnest way, which
were enough to convince thinking
men that the time had come for
falling in line with the reform
party. Mr.. Gill made a very man.
ly and a very polite speech, as he,
the nice gentleman that he is, Knows
how to make. His remarks were
as is usual with the demo-
cratic speakers, TO the Force bill
bumbug. He vainly tried to show
that the present so-called Demo.
cratic party was the same as that of
the great Jefferson. The comparison
reminded US Of the Irishman who
shot at the bird with kicking gun.
On shooting at the bird tho gun
kicked, and he could not tell what
became of the bird. So, in looking
for it, he found a filthy little toad
scrambling in the grass. He took
it up and said; Faith, a body
would hardly have recognized ye
as being the same pretty bird / shot
at. " The present democracy has
about as much resemblance TOD effer-
sons teachings, as a filthy toad
does to a pretty bird. He said
that it was natural for him to hate
a Yankee, and in the next breath
urged the people to vote for Cleve-
land, man Of the most pronounced
Yankee type, also a man, if we
not. who stands on the
side of the plutoCrats, and who has
said by his acts, that he was in
'avor of social equality in thesoutb.
Mr.Strawn got in some good things,
and showed that he was a young
nan of considerable attainments,
lut it was hard thing for us to
lecide whether he was a citizen ofI
he United States or of the Arpen- |
inc Republic, as he had a great
ieal to say about some kind of a
wildcat money-scheme of that
country, which had no bearing
whatever on the political Issues Of
he day. Mr.. Griffin, in closing
vent even beyond the expectations
# his friends, and he fully demon.
trated one fact, that if the demo.
ratio party wishes to succeed in
Amite county, they will have TO
lnearth some speaker as yet un-
arthed in the county, or they will
ave to import one. The Peoples
'arty's boys were well pleased with
he discussion.

An Appeal.
By THE PEOPLES PARTY CLUB OF
sMITHDALE TO THE VOTERS Of
ANTE COUNTY.

A political party isan organization
Of citizens, to carry out certain
principles, to effect the policy Of a
government. Therefore, every citi-
zen is expected to study the princi-
Piles advocated by the parties, and
ally himself with the party whose
principles, if carried out, will bring
the greatest blessings to the whole
people.
History proves, as well as the
records of all political parties, that
there are but two fundamental
principles: 1st, the Jetfersonian
idea, A government of the people.
for the people and by the peOple;;"
2nd, the Hamiltonian idea, "A
government of the few, for the few
and by the few" This latter idea
seems to be the ruling principle
with both the old parties Of to-day,
as this class legislation, in the inter
est of the few, is a matter Of record,
To prove this assertion, the ordi-
nary voter may prove the two old
parties false, to the best interest of
the people, byreading the promises
layed down in their party platform,
then compare their legislation for
the past quarter Of a century.
We appeal to every voter in the
county, to study the political situ.
alton in the light of justice and
reason, and not let old party ties,
prejudices, nor the ridicule Of the
press, keep you from doing your
duty, as free American citizens.
Can you not see that this once
proud and free government is being
rapidly brought to the very verge
of political ruin? Our homes are
mortgaged, our people are dis.
couraged and demoralized, one-half
of the press are ridiculing our
principles, while the other half are
subsidized or muzzled, our lands
and wealth are being rapidly con-
centrated into the hands Of the
speculaturs.
We want no class legislation, we
only ask justice at the hands Of
our government, aud we have asked
the two old parties, time and time
again, to give us such legislation as
will emancipate the industrial
classes, from the unjust taxation of
organized capital. But alas, our
prayers have been ignored, and
bills, calling needed legislation,
were "smothered" in our last Con-
yress, and that too with a demo.
cratic majority of 140 odd in the
House. Now, fellow citizens, with
.hese and many other facts before
you, we again appeal to you, to
East your ballots on the side of
ustice and reform.
