Cremated In jail.

The county Jail at Paulding, Miss
was burned the other night, and two
prisoners were cremated The prison
ers were E. A. Strickland, charged with
forgery, and Mollie Daniels, crazy
negro woman, 1t was between IL
and l2 o'clock when the crazy wom-
an commenced yelling and screaming
through the upper window that the
Jail was on fire. A dense black smoke
was issuing from every opening, and
dull red glare could be seen in the
dungeon where Strickland was incar-
cerated, The news of the fire quickly
spread, and in short time several
hundred people were on the scene
The outer and inner cage doors
were unlocked and thrown open,
but 1t was utterly impossible
to open the door between the
two rooms Men fought their way to
the door through the suffocating
smoke, but were unable to endure 1t
long enough to break down the fas,on-
ings A few evenings before Strick'
land dropped u note out of the Jail win
dow in which he stated that unless
opium was brought to him he would
burn the Jail, and that he longed for
the time to come when he would sleep

An Open Letter by nr. l.. C. Morris. of
Helena, Ark. President National hap
| tist Convention.
Special to the Guide
| To THE CoLoRrD VOTERS OF TUE UNI
TED STATES: There never was time
in the history of our republic when
there was more interest taken in poll
tics on the part of the clergy, than is
now manifested in the present cam
paign, not excepting the hot contest
which preceded the election of Abra-
ham Lincoln, The candidates who rep
resent the two great parties are men OF
great personal influence and each has a
great following, But it is the platform
| upon which these candidates stand that
should direct the voter more than any
other one thing, and enable him to
make up his mind as to how he should
east his vote. For it is the platform
for, and what they represent. The
platform is the embodiment of the prin-
ciples which it is proposed TO put into
execution in the event of the election of
the candidate representing the same.
Without discussing these principles or
the questions put in issue by them,
beg to submit to the colored voters Of
this country, that there is one thing in
the Chicago platform which should
challenge the attention of all law'abid-
ing people. refer TO that plank of the
platform which attacks the supreme
court Of the United States, When
great political party declares that it is
the duty of congress to use power which
may come from the reversal of supreme
court decision, by that court as it may
hereafter be constituted, it is time TO
call halt and inquire, "Whcrc ure we |
nt?" Such a declaration savors OF sus-
picion. In it is contained an implied |
purpose at least to tampcr with the |
court, and II need be to pack it so as to |
obtain the decision desired. No class
Of citizens in our country know better
than we what it is to suffer from a lack
Of Il proper regard for the courts Of our
country. The question wish to sub
nit to the colorcd voters of the coun-
try is, whether the supreme court can
he thus assailcd and threatened, and
the party threatening be entrusted
with the high function Of administer
ing the laws If this bulwarls OF Amer
lean liberty is TO be thus tamparcd with
and made the mere instrument Of party
machine, most assuredly the disease
will rapidly spread to the other federal
courts and finally to the state courts,
and law and order will become thing
Of the past, and the government Il
farce.
Above all things the American idea
of respect for the courts of the country
must be maintained. The platform
adopted at st. Louis stands for the
Of this idea, therefore we
urge careful study of this matter to
the end that every colored voter in
with republican principles
will go to the polls on the 3rd of No
ycmbcr and cast his ballot for the nom
inccs who stand upon that platform.
