ANOTHER “NICK.”

Maonoj.ia, Miss. June 22, 1877. Dk.il Sentinel: *- A little hash now and then Is relished by tho in Ist of men. But there has not been much Of the “mysterious dish” manufactured in this state since my lust letter. The outrage mill has been thrown out of gear, and after a thorough analysis of tlie component parts of the Kemper county hash, it was discovered that tlie ingredients were nauseating and wouldn't set well on the stomach. We sometimes wonder why other people will “dabble” in our hash anyhow! W; think, to do themselves justice, they would have enough employment to attend more closely to their own affairs; but as some of your’'innocent” republican brethren are so fond of taking a dip out of our dish, I offer you the following outrage items to [nop up tlie substance of my last letter, 10 soothe your “innocent neighbor” and to strengthen his unbending ■opinion that men are huug down he.e “simply because they are republicans” :

Oriental. | John loung, colored,fir a nameless crime committed vi el a,rmits, in Grenada county, on the persou of a white lady, vitas arrested Monday near Blue Lake iu this county, by John Groves and Jim Carnes and lodged in jail. Wjsstville, Miss., June 8, 1877. Randall Johnson, a colored minister, committod an outrage on a little 12 years old colored girl, his niece, about two weeks ago. Ho was captutvd by some colored men on last Monday, brought back and lodged in jail. On Tuesday he was taken from Hie jail and hung—both white and i colored citizens participating. A colored man tied the rope to tlie limb of the tree. He h. d the„ieputa ion of being a notorious scoundrel. Port Gibson Reveille.]

An Outr-ge. —Wo learn that or Thursday an atrocious outrage was attempted by a negro man upon the wife of Mr. Aired, at her house, on the k Sitidon place, in the upper part of tiffs county. The efforts of the brave v oruan, and her screams, which at* uncled tho nmghbois, defeated the IP ndish scoundrel iu his diabolical purposes. It, is said he succeeded in n bbing Mr. Alred’s premises of val - al les, including a watch, and has th s far eluded at test. The colored pe - pie are, we learn, greatly incensed at t l o ou.iage, and the whole community is aroused, and no doubt the scoundrel will be dealt with summarily. Mr. Aired was a grand juror and absent fmm home at the time of tho ash sault upon his wife.

In Amite county, afew nights ago, a poor, unfortunate Republican negro was, taken out by a body of regulators, tied to a tree and thrashed—tlmt is,“bulldozed” —and ordered to leave the county, for no other reason than unceremoniously'taking other people’s hogs, cattle, sheep, chickens, corn, provisions, jSce , and converting them to hi? own use without the knowledge or consent of the owners, contrary to law in such ease made and provided, and agaiust the peace and dignity of the state of Mississippi. Consequently he was “bulldozed.” The above items need no comment, but I ask you and your people to pecide among yourselves, that, if such crimes those roovo mentioned should be perpetrated in your community, what would you or they dq? Why are so many Republicans in the south thus treated by mobs and “bulldozers V” The majority of negroes are thieves by nature; they are brutal in t ieir instincts, have no idea of moral or religious obligations. They are not s svepribk* of high mental cultivation and have no appreciation of social purity. Their religion is simply imitation an l tin jr policy is to beat the white people out of every thing they can, uven if they have to steal or < pro urp by salsa pretenses, They-, are tin,id, cowardly and treacherous, and cannot be relied cn in a business transaction, though there are exceptions to this rule. Our jails are full of criminals and so are our penitentiaries. Nine-tenths of them are repub-' licnn negtocSjUnd i| is often the case, as the above copied items show, that their crimes are too enormous for the { eople to submit to the slow process and uncertainty of law to vindicate themselves. Outraged society and

self-protection against the repetition , of similar crimes, drive men to punish such criminals in the most summary manner. Would the white people of Jasper county do likewise under similar circumstances? Let them answer! These are the kind of people that carpetbaggers and scaliawrags allied themselves with after the war. The | white people of the south were placed horn du combat by the Federal military and had to submit, while carpetbag scallawag ahd negro thieves had their own way and pillaged indiscriminately. Most of the leading attaches of the radical party were as rotten as their followers. The state governments were putrid carcasses, and there was uo certain protection to property except what was secured by the regulators, the staunch citizens’of the country. Tlie radicals drove people to madness and desperation, and their leaders arc res nomible for those things which led to mob violence. Louisiana had a debt oi over fifty millions fastened upon her during the corrupt rule of Wamioth and Kellogg. The debts of New Orleans and the country parishes, in the aggregate amounted to several hundred thousands more, and other southern states suffered comparatively. Mississippi had her share, but thank God, iu 1875, she was redeemed. The voice of justice asserted itself, outraged society rallied, the stiong arm of the white people was raised, their blades were burnished for the fight, they determined to bear it no longer. ■ .They would make one more effort—their best speakers were placed in the field. In 1875 they carried the stats, by 30,000 majority, and iu 1876 they swelled ' the Democratic majority to sixty-two thousand! It was these victories at the polls that ; saved.our state from being drenched jin blood. It was not a spirit of lawlessness, but it was the first law of nature—self-protection,a divine right, a holy principle. The seeds of bad government have not yet b< ea obliterated. It is easy to stir up the lire that blazed during the days of our sorrow and oppression. The people remember the authors of ! their sufferings audit requires a great

deal of self-possession and caution sometimes to prevent outbreaks in those localities where the people have suffered much, but under Governor Sloiib’s vise administration, things are becoming harmonized and the people lire beginning to prosper. I see by your issue of the 15th that another radical “screw-worm,” the Winamac Republican, has poked its blistered nose into Mississippi affairs end polluted its wardrobe by making a thrust at our mutual friend, Elder Halstead, reflecting on his ifianhood, his sincerity, honesty and truthfulness. Shame on Keiser, to thus ma ligna gentleman who is known to be pure in character, honest, upright and truthful iu all his dealings with men, to gratify a sectional auimosity. However, we will consider the source aud let it sell for what it will bring. Recently tho mercury lias been standing at 80 and 85: We have had good rains, and just in time to secure for us good corn crops. Cotton is doing well. The first crop of Irish potatoes has been gathered and many of our people are pieparing for tho second crop. Wo have fruits and vegetables iu abundance. If you will ac cept the invitation I would be pleased to have you come down and pay us a visit this summer. I wili promise that you shall not be “.bulldozed.” Iu conclusion, let mo suggest that if the Union and Winamac Republican desire any more manufactured ' lies for publication, let them employ ; the notorious Dr. W. H. Irwin,reeent.ly at Cleveland. Ohio. He can grind them out, doubled and twisted, concentrated, condensed, anil solidified, but sufficiently digestible for anv out-rage-loving Republican in the north. If ho fails, iet them send to Louisiana for Eliza.Pinkston, the negro wench, who has made for herself an historic name us a champion liar, and whose , fame as such wili linger for ages, pori haps, in tho musty pages of investigation records. Yours Truly,

NICK OF THE WOODS. In a postcript “Nick” adds: “ iouug Halstead nas in to see me to-day. He says that the folks are all pretty well and that his hither aas planted some sweet potatoes. Irish potates and other things necessary for the family. His mother continues to improve a little. I have frequently seen her drive out accompanied only by a little girl.” We trust our neighbor will “keep his soul in patience” with reference to the premium list. It was printed and distributed last year in July, and the suggestion to print them this year by the Ist of June, was, we supposed at the time, made in a spirit of baudiuage, as the time given was too short. We are confirmed in the supposition from the fact that very recently ad ditional rules, have been handed in. We kindly suggest to eur neighbor, in conclusion, that he “retire within himself” and indulge in dreams of the sweet promises left behind him in Washington, and ponder over the future glory and renown which will crown his actions as Minister Plenipotentiary to the Guano jsj luds, Panama, or some other tropical clime.— This will be more conducive to your health than whining over disappointments and blasted political aspirations and distinctions. ■ . y The coimrfittec of arrangements tor the Celebration on next Wednesday request all citizens to bring flags, it they have them, and flowers to decorate the grounds and stand with. The Celebration on July 4th, 1677, will be immense. There lots been nothing like it here in many years—not since you and 1 were young.

Staple Articles that are in demand and that civilized people must use, wJbether tlie 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 tin 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 the 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 The Mil \hl'] d k? Prm 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 new stock is deemed necessary from the 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 Reaflv-Made Clothing Boots, Shoes, Hats, Caps, Standard Groceries, Etc,, are kept in addition to the assortment es dress fabrics and other dry goods.
