he offered 10 bet weok's salary that the

will merely be the restoration OF the
Radicals to power in our State and the

honeyed accents of these false prophets

Corinth Mss. Record, Aag. 2.
Year: 1879

The resumption of electoral rufiian-
ism in Yazoo County, Mississippi, is a
fact. One such fact is, and ought to
be, worth thousand flatulent speeches
of Southern. demagogues in Congress,
TO convince Northern people that the
character and conduct of Southern So
ciety are not according to the speeches
but according to the fact.


The movement in YazOo County which
brought out the chivalry with their
shot-guns was one having for its object
an erasure of the "cOlor line," and q
check upon the exodus of the negro
laborer by proper recognition and de-
fense of his freedom as an elector.
Early last May there was a gathering
at Vicksburg called the Mississippi
Valley Labor Convention, the object of
which was to adopt some course which
would prevent the threatened exodus
of the negro population. IL was re-
solved by that assembly that the negro
should not be molested in the exercise
of the electoral Office and that fraud,
violence and intimidation as election
appliance should cease. Acting in the
spirit of that resolve. associations or
parties have been formed in q number
of counties, upon the initiative of
white men whose aim is to break up the
color distinction by uniting with the
negro voters in organizing and direct
Year: 1879

ing local affairs. Such an organization
was effected in Yazoo County, and prep
arations were making by its candidates
for local officers to develop its strength
in the approaching election. It was
while the candidates for Sheriff and
Chancery Clerk were going to the diff
ferent precincts to see that the negro
voters were duly registered that they
were intercepted by the shotgun brig
ade and forced, under threat of swift
determination, not only to abstain from
that business, but to withdraw from
their candidacy. This is the practical
application of the virtuous Vicksburg
resolve that the negro voter should
henceforth have fair play.


What is the remedy for this Missis-
sippi political banditismP Judge Nor
ris, of Vicksburg, tells the victims OF
the shotgun party that $50 far as the
form and theory of our laws and judi
ciarry are concerned, your remedy ought
to be abundant and speedy But of
what efficacy are the form and theory
of laws that habitually and with impu-
nifty are set at defiance by a political
party, armed with shot-guns, out on
hunt for "niggers' or the white can
didates of a party with which "nig-
pers'' are permitted and invited to votep
3 1t is painful" p" says Judge Morris, ito
have to admit that praCttcally our laws
upon this subject are a dead letter, and
our judiciary dead system, because
violence and fraud in elections, and
fraud and perjury in covering them up
have in too many instances oeen the
chief instrumentalities by which our
public officers got into power, ana py
which they expect to retain it.


Such an admission by a judicial func-
tionary familiar with the facts does not
accord with the vehement declarations
made by Southern blatherskites in Con-
gress; but supported by fresh facts in
the Yazoo case rage, it will oyerbear
tons of southern speeches in Northern
opinion. 1t does not indicate remedy
for this Southern barbarism; it serves
only to show that in the theory and
forms of law and its judicial admins
tration there is no remedy. The rem
edy must be sought for beyond the
forms Of law and judicial procedure in
Mississippi. At the North, there is a
widely-prevailing belief that it Will
only be found by meeting the Solid
South on its platform of rufliaAism and
barbarism by a Solid North, that will
return 1t, after 1880, to very impotent
minority of political power. 1t hardly
needed new manifestation of barbar-
ism in Mississippi to strengthen this
Northern belief. The Yazoo affair will
strengthen it beyond doubt. The view
of Judge Morris is entirely warranted:
{" If one party in Yazoo County cannot
organize without consulting the other;
If no citizen can cast or receive vote
without the consent of his adversaries,
if party largely in the majority can
be dispersed and scattered with impu-
nifty by an armed mob, it requires no
prophet to foretell that we shall embit-
ter the Northern people and make them
solid against u.s." If there be no prac--
tical remedy for these manifestations of
MeDicGniSnl in the forms of law and Ju-
dicial procedure, then remedy will be
found In the solidity of Northern civill-
! zation against Southern barbarlsm. VI
this Southern men can be very sure

was well played game considering the
small amount of practice the boys have
had together as club. And while the
Duncan club played well for amateurs,
they were notably deficient in some
points of the game as compared with
our boys. The pitching OF Comerford
was very difficult to hit, causing great
number of fouls, and also batting up
the catcher SO that frequent changes be-
came necessary. His playing through
out the game was fine, and almost with
out error. So, also, was that of short
stop Langmaid, and basemen Perrin, Ee-
COLE and Whiting. Some very fine play

and first baseman Whiting. Angus
Boggs as catcher did as well as any one
could do who had not been used to TAX
| ing Comerford's swift balls, this being
the first time he had ever caught behind
the bat for his pitching, and he stood up
to his work without fiinching for the
first five innings, until one of his hands
was so badly swOOlen that he could not
hold the ball. william BOggs, Wharton
and Mason played in the field and had


very little chance to display their skill

bases. The batting of the whole clut

PROF. TYNDALL.-Prof. Tyndall has earned well the position he occupies as scientific teacher. His life has witnessed the discovery of all the great generaliZations which have in modern times revolutionized physics and gv- en to the scientific mind of o-day an apprecia- tion of the unity of nature which would have been impossible in past times, and would only have been even suggested by the most superf- cial thinkers who owed the breadth of their views to their lack of depth and want of &C., quaintance with the difficulties of the subjects of which they treated. And during all this time he has been in the thick of the battle and has probably done more than any other man to spread the knowledge of these great physi- cal laws, and to make their nature and su- premacy part of the lore of educated man. From this has arisen in him a passionate en- thusiasm for these great fundamental truths, and strong distaste for regarding scientific subjects from any other point of view than relation to them. It is this quality, combined with his real genius for exposition, which makes him so skillfu in devising experiments to illustrate his lectures. No one is more con- scientious in refusing to shirk, or to allow his hearers to shrk, any of the real difficulties that beset the thorough comprehension of a sub 1ect 1; but, on the other hand, no one knows SO well how to distinguish between such difficult ties and questions which, if brought into prom thence, would only serve to distract the not too we'll informed nearer and divert his mind from the main principles. This leads him to choose as illustrations of his lectures experi- ments which, as it were. exemplify the princi- ples of his subject nakedly and in form which is as little complicated as possible with secenda- ry and subsidiary actions, so that the experi- ment itself is eloquent, even to the dullest brain, of the truth it is intended to tell And

 in all that hedoes it IS easy to see the effect of his training under Faraday, who to his genius for divining great laws added power pecu- liar to himself of presenting them to the mind in a. way whichseemed to give to them a physical embodiment, to clothe the naked distractions and turn them intoactual physical existences The reflex of this is seenin all Prof. Tyndall's lectures on physical subjects. There is a vividness in the pictures drawn by him which makes all his audiences recognize the facts of which he is speaking as actual living realities and thus to follow out their effects as they would never have been able to do had they received them merely as distractions deduced from observa- tion of the concomitant variations of certain natural phenomena. Hence, if any one cannot understand science as expounded by Prof.
