Our informant states that the conduct of the rebels at Austin was violent and dis graceful. The scoundrels took possession ofthe polls, and compelled the colored vot- CTS, some thirty cdd in number, to vote the rebel ticket; that these voters acknowledg- ed that they wished to vote the Republican ticket, but did not dare do so for fear of their lives The ex-rebels, the meanest, pel haps, in the state, drove the messenger from the polls, and, following him several miles homeward, fired on him with pistols.

 The above extract is from the Republi- can, the filthy, scurrilous organ of the Rad icals at Little Rock. Wewould not notice this gross misrepresentation of facts if it were not that Austin is one of the most quiet places in the state, and her citizens amongst the most peacable. Because of the fact that every vote boiled at that pre- cinct was against the Republicans pet constitution, the necessity exists for this gross falsehood There is no manliness, no honesty, no,truth in the above statement The election at that precinct was orderly, nothreats being used, as can be established by twenty witnesses; the only disturbance being an altercation between two negroes. What does the Republican expect to gain for his party by such gross misrepresenta- ton as the above? perhaps new election. Yes, it must be new election. If a pre- cinct voted against the constitution, that was enough to warrant the cry of foul play; and as the state has gone against the infamous abortion of Radicalism, the cry of foul play must be raised, new election must be held, and the supremacy of the Radical party maintained. In suggesting the remedy for such disturbances, the same paper says:

 Now, then, let these whelps be arrested forthwith, and taught lesson they will remember That place has the reputation of being the most thoroughly rebeliious community in this part of the state, aud that the military will not only order new election at that point, but that it will be held in such vigorous and thoroughgo- ing manner that the ex-rebel horde will be put upon their good behavior hereafter.

 What does this mean? why, just this, that the Republican wants pew election, upon basis that will secure majority for their pet, that's all. Again we denoaace the statement made by the Republican, concerning the election at Austin, as false altogether; poor whimsy scheme to have the vote of Caroline township set aside-- Such tricks will be tried wherever the least possible clue is given; and We call upon white men wherever these charges of fraud in election are made, to come for ward and denounce them as false, giving the true statement, and thus thwartng the evil intentions of the Radicals in our state.

THE CONFESSION.


She states that on the night upon
,sh;oh - !.; the homicide was committed
she had retired to her bed, whiie he ..,e
deceased was lying on his plank be-
fore the FIRE, Between midnight and
day the deceased aroused her by ap-
preaching her bed and demanding to
share it with her. She denied him
the privilege, and he insisted with
violent language, aud finally ordered
her to get up and leave the premises,
or he would pitch her and her furni-
ture into the road that deceased re-
tired to his bench or plank before the
fire, aud the prisoner fell into doze,
supposing that the deceased had
abandoned his intended violence to
her, when she was again aroused by
his seizipg a table belonging to her
and dragging it toward the door,
which he had thrown open, as though
to throw it out, and then sat down on
his plank looking toward the fire.
She arose from bed very angry, seized
a pestle made by deceased for beating
apples in cider-making, crept up be-
hind him, without his seeing her, and
struck him heavy blow on the head
which knocked him senselsss.


She then struck him a second time
while he was lying PROSTATE, Thus
seeing he was worse hurt than she in
tended, she struck no more. At this
stage Of the tragedy her daughters
woke up, and the three took the body
across the road and laid it down. The
deceased was then alive as indicated
by his groans. She bade her daugh- :
tiers 90 back to the house, dug hole
herself, and placed the body in it
alive. Having covered IT with dirt,
she placed shayings on top to conceal
the place of burial. After placins
the shavings on the newly made grave
she heard the most unearthly groans
proceeding from the buried man.
Conscience stricken, she turred and
fed from the scene Of her horrible
crime.


She seemed, however, to be drawn
to the spot by some terrible fascina
ton, and some time afterward diseov-
cred, in one of her visits past the
grave, that the hogs had rooted up
part Of the skeleton, which she care
fully reintered. Again she discover,
ed that dog had scratched up the
skull and carried it into an adjoining
field. This she took with her, and
making circuit around the field,
buried it under cedar tree.
