FRIDAY, JUNE 15. 1877.

iy By a recent number of the Renss.iiaer Union, we see that Elder D. T. Halstead, formerly of the Church of Cod at Rensselaer, and who lately moved to Mississippi, comes forward i a a letter to the Unton in defense of ! lie people of Mississippi. The article Is intended as a reply to some strictures upon the people of Mississippi, . Published in the Union. We presume El ler Halstead, who is a very worthy man, finds it nece»sury for his peace aud comfort, as does every Northern man who proposes to live in the south, 1 o apologize for the eccentricities of the southern people, in killing people, nr defend them. It is to be regretted hat citizens from other parts of the country dare not go into the south and act as free and unshackled, in opiuion aud action, as they could in the north. Jtut then conciliation is mcessary, it : laves are made of every man south of the Ohio river who does not think Just as the late rebels did. Northern men have no rights that southern people are bound to respect, unless they < hoose to act as the “iirc-uaters” say. Winamnc Republican. Just so! Mr. Reiser (who “would l ko to have a dog,” in the person of Elder Halstead, to d© their bidding) is very anxious to have the people believe that the Elder either knows nothing of affairs in his neighborhood, or lacks the courage to tell the truth; and 1 hat the Rensselaer Union and Wina-i.-iac Republican are better informed as to thedxuo condition of tilings in the oath: are truth-loving, truth-telling God-fearing sheets, and huve no motive of fear or favor—loss or profit—to Induce them to fabricate and publish a lie] Oh, no! Rut heretofore tii£ radical southern outrage mills vore employed in grinding out southern deviltry for northern consumption for the purpose of keeping the radical party north united.—Now they are operated with a view of forcing Mr I lay os to adopt aud enforce the policy pursued by his predecessor, and thus insure the retention of power in their hands. And in case any reliable person of their own party stamps the re- - ported outrages as false and groundless his motives uro to be impugned, and he is to be branded us a cowardThe people) are beginning to find out that of the thousands of reported outrages nine-tenths of th*m have been beer fabrications, without foundation in fact, and invented with a purpose to deceive. These proceedings are played out; the days of the conspiru- - ators are numbered, aud the radical o gans are bitter in tlieir denunciation of all who love the truth aud tell It.

THE KEMPER COUNTY TRAGEDY.

Gov. Stone Defines His Exaot Duties in the Matter. Washington, D. C., May 31.—-After thb details of the Chisholm (Miss.) tra - gody were telegraphed North, Jerome A. Johnson, a prominent colored politician in this city, wrote to Gov. Stone to ascertain if the general press despatches gave a true version of the affair. The letter evoked the following reply from Governor Stone, dated -iyickson, May 18: Duah S»u: Your letter of the loth iust. was received by to-day’s mail. I wish that a larger number of your peoplo wero willing to hear both sides before condemning. Since the recent unfortunate occurrence in Kemper county, April 29, there has been no outbreak in that < ounty, nor any demonstrations toward violence, nor any well-foundod apprehensions of trouble, I visited the scene of trouble us soon as a report of it reached me, and remained therea part of two days. I mado a full investigation, and conversed freely with the family of Judge Chisholm. I afterward visited the Judge of the district, who was at the time holding"court in Columbus, aud obtained-Ws promise to hold a special term of the Circuit Court, with a view to a full judicial Investigation. I returnetl to Jackson on the 7t.hinst. leaving everything quiet in Kemper, and assured by officers and citizens that t- ere was not the slightest danger or further trouble. I started to Natchez on the Bth, but left Natchez on the next night, and by L{io first boat, having received the telegram of Captain M. Shuughnessy, which has been published in the northern journals. I did not believe the fears expressed in his telegram were well founded, but I desired to do all Tn my power to convince any reusemi* ble person that there was no cause of apprehension. I had j;ust left Kemper county, and knew better than Captain Shaughnessy the condition of affairs thore. Ten days had elapsed since the attack on the jail and everything was quiet. It was not true that Judge Chlhholm and his family were in danger from any mob. An early judicial investigation was promised, and I was ■ot willing, in order to silence the clamors of any one, to permit the invasion of tho county by a body of armed men, and thus giro sanction to u violation of law. ‘

Art Captain Shaughnessy’s “volunteering tho necessary force to protect the widow and her family” was made ten days after the attack on the jail, when everything was quiet, and ap .eight das has since elapsed, and quiet still prevails, I should say “the reports heralded through the north, ” solely upon his telegram, “are ruther highly-colored.” It is not true that Mrs. Chisholm and her husband w'ere in danger of assassination while the latter was lying wounded at home; it Is not true that her residence was guarded by a mob day and night; that they swore to take her husband’s life, and that she was not allowed egress or ingress without a pass from the head of a mob. No one justifies the act by which Judge Chisholm lost his life. Every thing that is possible shall be done to arrest and punish the guilty parties. I do not hope to silence the misrepresentations of men who are making political capital out of the unfortunate affair. The south has been too ! long the victim of misrepresentation | for your people tobeecme willing:u 1- | denly to hear ptft'K sides before eo * detuning. The* recent telegrams and articles thathrve apneared in north- j ern popera are based solely upon my ! refusal to consent to an invasion of ; Kemper county by a body of men from other counties. The folly of consent- i ing to such a proposition when no ! trouble was apprehended must be ap- I parent to every reasonable person. J William S. Hoagland, of the M n ! tioello Woolen Mills, called in to see us on last Wednesday.

THE I., D. & C. RAILROAD AND ITS PROSPECTS.

Mr. Lee, of Crawfordsville, president of the Indianapolis, Delphi <fc Chicago railroad company, addressed a goodly number of the citizens of Rensselaer and vicinity at .the court house last Saturday afternoon, upon the plans of the company and prospects of the proposed road, lie gave quite a lengthy review of the railroads of the United States, the costs of construction of both standard and narrow gauge roads, aud the immense benefits that have accrued therefrom to the country in the developement of agricultural and mineral resources. lie said the building of this ! new and important line would open iup a region of country which is ! now lying in its naturally wild and i uncultivated state, and which i would be unsurpassed by any in the west for richness and productiveness of soil. Besides, there are lying along, and contiguous to, the proposed road, immense coal fields and beds of iron ore which would be worked and made to yield millions of wealth now lying in idleness, locked up In the bowels ot I mother earth. All ho asked of the i citizens to make this great enterl prise a success was to stand by ! him and make good the pledges they made to the old president, and he would assure them by so doing that the road would be completed and cars running over it within six months from date. The local aid secured by way of private subscriptions and donations of moneys or lands to the old company are now ' null and void by the provisions

thereiu stated, and the new company »»ks that these pledges be renewed. Just as soon as this is done and the company is assured of that fact, then will the paddies, teams, scrapers, etc., make their appearance and the work be vigorously prosecuted until the road is completed and in operation. Now all that is left to be done, is for the people along the line to go to work in earnest and labor in concert to secure the required aid. Concert of action, diligence, perseverance, patience, and the eternal grit, all combined, will make aoraccess of what has heretofore proven a failure. Nothing gained, nothing lost; not a dollar is asked until the road is completed and a train of cars comes thundering into Rensselaer. Then up, boys, and at ’em! One strong pull altogether and success is certain. The following named gentlemen were appointed a kind of executive eommittee to look after the interests of the road in Jasper county and to solicit subscriptions: Alfred McCoy, Alfred Thompson, S. P. Thompson, Dr. S. W. Ritchey, R. S. Dwiggins, A. Leopold, Jared Benjamin, John Makeever and James T. Randall. It is earnestly hoped that ail who are interested in tiiia matter will respond promptly when called upon and subscribe willingly what they are able to give. Air. Lee went from this place over the line to Lowell, Lake county, where he expects to' meet the citizens of that town and vicinity and urge them to the work. We have not received the Monticello Democrat for two weeks. Kitt, send it along, and oblige.

THE NEW SPRING & SUMMER STOCK OF DRY • GOODS Just Opened by R.FEHI, CONSISTS OS' Staple Articles that are in demand and that civilized people must use, whether the times be flush or dull, business is at ebb or flow, or money is plentiiul or scarce. No attempt was made to secure frivolous novelties in the selection of my Stock of Goods FOR THE Spring and Summer trade of 1877 in Jasper county, but an eye was trained to the choosing of articles whose DURABILITY and PRICE would recommend them to a community that is anxious to adapt themselves to tho circumstances which now surround everybody in the United States. But this did not prevent the purchase of a stock that will compare favorably in point of beauty with anything to be found in this market, while lb Uri (illy d kw Pficss

of the fabrics must necessarily recommend them in an especial manner to people of judgment, prudence and economizing desires. No special enumeration of the articles comprising this now 6tock is deemed necessary from tho fact that I deal iu all articles usually found in collections of General Merchandise, in inland towns, but it may be well enough to say that Best Dress Goods, Best Readv-Made Clothing Boots, Shoes, Hats, Gaps, Standard Groceries, Etc,, are kept in addition to the assortment es dress fabrics and other dry goods.

THE DELINQUENT TAX DUPLICATE with the Second Instalment is now in my hands for collection. Tho amount of Delinquent Tuxes is unusually large, which compels the Treasurer to commence forced collections at an earlv date—not later than the Ist of “July 1877. Those who do not pay by that time may expec£ a visit from the Treasurer, or his Deputy, and collections made as the law directs. A hint to the wise is sufficient. The 2d instalment is required to be paid before the Ist Monday in November to save penalty. L. C. JANES, Treasurer June 8, 1878. Jasper county, Ihd.
