jun3 I ARPERS WEELKY. SPENDIDL ILL USTRA TED UElvIFFS SALE. 8 Successful Attack of CltUcut on a Party of Kuklux Out Member of tkr Gang Killed, aud the Others Put to Flight. From the Memphis (Team) Avalanche, May IS. A rumor was current through the city, yesterday, of an outrage iu Poutotoe, in which one of the party named Dillard was shot and killed.

Late in the afternoon a reporter of the Avalanche met a gentleman, a former resident of Pontotoc, who was but recently from that place, aud from him obtained full partie-ulai of the outrage. He stated that about two weeks ago a party of disguised men attacked three young men near Pontotoc, and overpowering them, gave each a severe beating. The young men who were whipped were born and raised in aud near Pontotoc, aud fought througu out the entire war in the Coutederaie army, and are named Maruett Smith, formerly of the Second Mississippi; Bill Newsom aud John Huu iugdon, of the Forty-first Mississippi. Their only oi-fense was teaching negro schools at $73 per month, in preference to remaining idle or stealing, aud when whipped they were told that it was done as a warning to cease teaching. The three young men are well known all over the county, aud have always -been regarded as honest, upright young men ail Doiaocrutu iu politics.

As may be supposed this outrage ereat ed a profound sensation throughout the entire sectioned the country, but fear oi the unknown scoundrels prevented any strict investigation being entered into by the authorities. Au ex Confederate soldier named R. W. Flournoy, who since the war has been editing a violent Radi cal paper in Pontotoc, called The Equal Rights, has of late received several auouy mous communications telling him that he had better reave the country, if he did not want a coroners inquest held in his family, together with threats to burn him out. Being a man of considerable nerve, Flournoy did not evacuate, but procured him several shot-guns and a quantity of ammunition instead, with which he proposed to welcome his visitors, whenever they should put in an appearance.

Last Friday night seem to have been the time selected for dispensing with Flournoys services as a journalist and citizen of Pontotoc, for about 12 oclock a body of disguised, armed men rode into town, heralding their arrival by several volleys of fire-arms. A party of gentlemen residents of Pontotoc had been out hunting that day, j.nd returning home very late in the evening, stopped at the jail to refresh themselves and have a so cial game of cards. When they heard the firing the hunting party picked up their gups, and started out to ascertaiu the cause of the unusual commotion. They had gone but a short distance from the jail, when they met the disguised men, and both parties halted. One of the hunting party, Judge Pollard, prominent citizen, stepped forwaid from his companions and asked the disguised men what they wanted.

The reply was a discharge from the guns and pistols of the mar uders, bnt which, fortunately, sped wide of its mark, wounding no one. Not being accustomed to be shot at without returning the compliment, the hunting party responded with a volley, which emptied one addle, and caused a precip-tate retreat of8 the remainder of the gang. During the parley, and before the tiring cammenced, Flournoy came up with a double-barrele shot gun in his hand. He claims that it was his shot that struck the man. Going up to where the wounded man was lying in tbs street, deserted by his dastardly companions, he vjas found to be a young man named Dillard, who was well known in the vicinity, and who bore anything but an enviable reputation.

He was mortally wounded, anddied in a few minutes after being- shot. In reply to various questions axked him, he stated that they had come in after Flournoy, but refused to give the names of any of his companions, or any particnlars whatever. The next morning several wounded horses were found in the suburbs, where they had been left by their riders, and being easily recognized as belonging to young men in the vicinity, search was made for their owners, bnt without success, as every one had suddenly started as they stated for Texas. From the horses foun i and the mi-sing young men, it is thought that the disguised men were of the same party that attacked a Federal camp near Pontotoc two or three ye ars since, and who have since the war been engaged in stealing aDd marauding all over the country, a terror to all good citizens. The sheriff of the county, James Bell, a very resolute man, who a short time since arresteds number of the same gang, and of whom they stood inrigreat fear, was in Texas at the time, and it is sup posed that knowing of his absence, they concluded it would be a good time to wreak their vengeance upon Flournoy and whoever else might displease them.

The death of this young man, and the flight of his supposed companions, will, is hoped; disperse the gang and restore peace and quiet to the country. From their appearance it is certain that they are the same parties. ijho so unmercifully whipped the three ypifng men mentioned above. NOTICES OF THE PRESS. HANCEHY SALE.

B.

H. CRAIG, inay6-td-pf 9 Register. The report of the grand jury of the United States District Court submitted to his Honor Judge Busteed, will be found in our local columns. The mem bers of the jury substantially confirm the opinions we have expressed heretofore upon the subject of outrages. That is, these outrages are committed by a set of unprincipled scoundrels, devoid of personal honor, character or chivalry.

The od citizens, of Alabama, have no more to do in the perpetration of these infamous crimes than the peasants of Russia, yet the people are powerless to crush the perpetrators on account of the sympathy, open or covertly expressed, by those who should control the publio sen timent in the communities where the outrages are perpetrated. A great majority of Democrats, in whose interest these outrages have been ostensibly inflicted, sadly deplore such a state of things, yet they will not assert their love for peace and their respect for the laws by rising like an avalanche and crushing the cowardly assassins whose deeds are written daily in the Northern press as proof of the assertion that Republicans are murdered because of their peculiar political opinions. There is not an honest Republican in the State but will regret that this jury were forced, from evidence before them, to publish such a statement of ffcpets; nor is there a true Republican in the State who charges tiiaj the people, the gieat majority of the citizens. 'engage in, indorse, or approve of the murderous wrongs inflicted upon those poor Republicans who reside in the rural itietriata. Tha Democratic papers have persistently denied these outrages instead of denouncing them.

They have, by that course, encouraged them, and they cannot deny the fact. But they must either denounce them now or that they approve them. No more excuses can be made for them here-af tetaupon any ground. A jury composed of thlp most respectable citizens of the State liawe reported such a state of facta as every law-abiding and honest citizen will deplore and regret. We cannot see why Messrs.

Noble and Smith should refuse upon such pretext to indorse the report. We fear that something is wrong, which the secrecy of the jury will forever conceal, but ns we impute honest motives to every man in his acts, especially with so grave a subject, we trust that no one will be spared the vengeance of the law. TheS is no sacrifice we would not make to secure the peace, prosperity and solid happiness of the people. We give the grand jury credit for the same honest and enlightened sentiments. We beg the people to take warning in time, before the military arm of the government is invoked to stop these midnight whippings, tortnrings and assassinations by disguised murderers, of men whose political convictions impel them to differ with the Democratic party.

The people can put them down, and they must do iL Let us have peace. State Journal. TUB REPORT. To the Hon. Richard Busteed: The grand jurors of the Middle District of Alabama beg leave to make their report We regret to be compelled, from the evidence brought before ns, to say we are forced to the conclusion that in some parts of this district there have been frequent and outrageous violations of law.
