He wuz a runnin for deer life, but no nigger ever incites disturbance by gettin np a Bepubiikin caucus with a charge uv buck shot thro his kidneys. He will never worry us no more."

I wantid the Dimocrisy uv Copiah County to brand the statement ez a falsehood, and authoriza me to so publian it to the world, Various citizens made statemence. One citizen laffed at the ijee. Why," sed he, "all men, dooly -qualified, vote at our poles with jist ez much safety ez they--cood anywhere. ihe Dimocrisy ut Copiah County bleeved in ekal rights and ekal privilegis.

We woodent egasackly hire carriages to bring Bepublikins to the poles; becoz they are Bepublikins, but they hev alloz bin permitted' to vote the same ez they hed testified their dev shun to Dimocratic principles on the feeld in the ranks nv the Confederate armies." After one or two hed borne testimony to the same deliteful state nv sentiment, the follerin resolooshecs wuz yoonanimously adoptid: Whxbeas, The press uv the Bepubli can party, wich is all venal, jist beccz in a on pleasantness arisin from a politikle discussion, Jedge Matthews wuz uccon-dishnelly shot, hez biandid Copiah County cz a place wich is intojerent to everybody not uv the Dimocratic faith, and Wabeas, these "lit a hev bin epred broadcast over the land, to the detriment uv the county, and ez a reason for not electin that pure patriot Hendrix, wich we admire, and wich ebculd hev bin Presi dent instid nv he is nom-iaatid for; therefore, be it Resolved. That every man, no matter Wat his race, kulor or politikle creed may be, allcz htz hed, and shl alluz hev, all the rites ec joyed by en body in this County. xUsolvel. lbat we onhesitatmly assert' that in no county in the yoonyun is life more secoor, nor nowhere is the rite to speek or print one's views more eakredly respectid. Resolved, That dependin entirely on ar gument a success, we hereby proclame abuoot freedom nv speech and politikle ackshen in this county, and that Bepublikins and Dimocrats may be ashbored nv livin togetner in harmony, ez quiet a Sunday skool, and that no violence ever wuz permitted or ever will be.

Resolved, That the rite to met for the purpos uv discushn uv politikle questions is sacred, and the Dimocrisy uv Copiah County will alloz manetane it. Resolved, That tz At this pint in the readin uv the reso-looahen a prominent Dimokat rushed into the meetin house in a very much eggscitid state. "Wat is up?" asked the Cheerman nv the meetin, his faca showin considable alarm. "Wat is up?" replied the egesited citizen, everything is up. A cousin uv that Matthews, wich we laid out last yeer is back here, and he hez organized th nicgers and a dozen or two of ral kela wich hev startid the saw mul down on the Bun, and they are tbis miuit holdin a meeting at old Pr ilkin's house, to nomin ate a Kepublikin tikkit, for this Fad, and to deside whether they shel send a delegate to a Bepub'ikin Sum convenshun to nouienate a eiectrei tikk.it! "The I yoo say!" ejikilated thecheer- man.

"This is serious. This will never do. Gentlemen, this meetin ia to-wunst adierned for an hour, and the brethern present will immediately load their shot guns and revolvers and report here to- wunst." "But," I sed, in agony, "remember the resoIooshenEI "Eemember the resolooBhensl My friend, them resolooshens wuz all well enufl when we nosed the tell spent uv Badikelism wuz entirely squelched, but now that we find it rearin its hydra head it must be stepped onto wunst more and this time effectooally. Besoloosnens are all well enuff, and we are perfeckly willin to go on when we get back and adopt em, and yoo may circkelate em but the bizais in hand st now is to equelch this proposed risin uv the niggers, vve are lor peece with em, but we kin only hev peece by the complete submission uv the Badikel element to tne poweis that be. We are willin the Eadike's shel vote ef they vote with ub niggers and white.

We will even drop the color line, ef the nig gers vote with us. White men to the res koc!" And they piled out uv the house, and tich ez didn't hev ther weepons with em went and got em. They returned in about a hour and the meetin reortnized to hear the report. Kernel Slogger spoke: "it is," Btz he, "the same old storr uv attempt id coerehun nv the inoffensive citizens uv the county, by the biood-thirsty and brootel niggers, incitid thereto bv selfish disorganizes wich wont act with the Dimocrisy, but persist in bein rad kel fare brands. Sum thirty uv em assembled to concoct tkeeuis agin toe naberhocd when we surprised em.

Wat happened? I my elf shot the devil Solomon Grabili, a nigger long euspectia uv disorganizin and disturbm tendencies, tnro tne win der, and ez he fall the rest uv em immfjitly run like deeis cut uv the backdoor and tuk to the woods. Th ruonia wuz proof positive that they wuz assembled for an oalawful purpu3. spose the papers in the North wood de nounce the shootm uv Grabul, and the subsekent killih nv a half dozen more, ez they run, ez politikle murders, but to sich he 6hood anser that ther runnin wuz proof positive, concloosive proof, proof entirely oatisfaktry to the average Copiah County Dimocrat, that them niggers and radikel white men wuz for an only awful purpose? Ef they wuz not so assembled wat did they run fortz soon ez they heerd the pleasant sound uv my shot gun, and the shriek of urabnl shot thaough the kidnejs? Ef a passel uv niggers shood cum upon this meetin, wood we run for the wood? Not any. Then why did they run? It wus becoz they knowd they wuz assembled as disturbers, and tha the avengers uv blood wuz onto em That's wht they run for." Mtger Pilkins sed that ez they ap- proacned the house he heerd Gabrili say that the time hed come for ackshen ef they perposed to hev a Bepubiikin organization in the County. He didn't percetd with his remarks, for at 'he instant the unemn shotgun of Kernel Slogger, which has done eood servis afore this, brot his im pious life to an end.

Then the evidences of guilt showd theirselves. The niggers turned pale and dustid out the back door like evil sperits, and we pursood em, shot gun in hand, like avengin angels. I myself peppered one of em ez he wuz climbin a fence in a vane effort to git away from scenes uv his crime against order, and the other frends wich stand guard over the peece uv the coucty follered soot. Trobably ten of the miscreants met their just reward. He wood move the foil er in resolooshens Resolved, That while the Democrisy uv Copiah County desire nothin so much ez peace and auietms, and will submit to al most anything to thet end, they must insist that nothin be done in opposishun to the regler Dimccratic orgamzashun nv the county.

Resolved, That freedom uv speech and ackshunis guaranteed to all, within proper linn's. Resolved, That we, the Dimocrisy uv Co piah County, insist that we shel define wat them limits is, and that we will defend our definishens with our lives, our honors, and our sakred shot guns. Resolved. That we haruly endorse the Dommashen uv Cleveland and Hendrix, esyeshlv Hendrix, and pledge ourselves that the vote for em shel be yoonanimus in this county, ef we hev to shoot every stagnation has seized upon the town. The extremely low price of lead has doubtless done much toward this depression, and the situation would seem to justify all good Colorado Christians in praying for a war-at least a oreign one in order to utilize the large accumulation of this matter at the dumps.

The assertion is here ventured that there are more Micawbers to the tqaare acre in Colorado at present than elsewhere in the world. "Just you wait," they sa, Til Show you a bonanza as soon as my claim is opened." If faith without work would remove mountains, the Micawbers of the Rockies would soon level this entire re gion, lo the unprejudiced barbarian irom the outside it would that a large part of the people of tbU glorious Centen- sial State are to day living principally on climate, scenery and "great expectations." And it is admitted occasionally by an in cautious kicker that this sort of diet becomes a little tfcia after a few years' trial. It is asserted, however, that in the San Juan region ntar Ouray the mines are paring handsomely, and that the number of rich strikes there is quite phenomenal; of this, however, more later in the season. rhe possibilities cf mir.ine are bo great that wbea a community or an individual freely imbibes the intoxicating draught, prudence and common sense seem to quit th'eir throne at once. For example, this town of Gunnison has sprung into existence during the last three or four years; and though a population of 5,000 is claimed, it is fair to suppose there are 1,500 people here.

Com pared with eastern places it is a shanty town, and yet it has some metropolitan features that would do credit to Chicago. I refer particularly to the La Veta hotel, an immense structure costing more than (20,000, and ample for the accommodation of all the guests of any city in Kansas. Though well kept on a liberal basis it does not and cannot pay. If gTand ecsnio surroundings would mike the pot boil Gunnison ought to be a metropolis, for it would be hard to find in all the world a landscape combining more of the Bublime and beautiful in nature than this. The lovely valley in which the town lies is immediately surrounded by smooth green foot hills, charmirg and picture; que in every outline, while back of these, extending to the; visual limit in all directions ttand those silent, majestic peaks enveloped in the everlasting snows and piercing the blue ether 12,000 feet above the tide.

A.a summer health resort Gunnison deserves success. The bright sunshine (ladies, it tans like the mischief) the clear sky and cool breezes of light, pure dry air ought certainly to put a newer and purer soul into a stronger and healthier body. It is reached by the South Park and Bio Grande road irom Denver at a cost of $16, and the ecenic wonders of either line will well repay the cost. The former line passes up the Platte rive canoo, over the great South Paik, thence up Chalk creek to the crest of the mountains and crosses the backbone of the continent from the Atlantic to the Pacific slope by a tunnel at an altitude of 11,625 feet above the sea. The granleur of the scenery defies description.

By the latter route the tourist passes the foot of Pike's Peak and thence via Pueblo up the valley of the Arkansas. The scenery on every hand is surpassingly majestic. In the Grand Canon of the Arkansas may be seen one of the most remarkable feats of engineerirg skill to be found in the world. Thu, added t. the awful grandeur of the cauon iisa.f, renders the tour unspeakably inspiring.

People with a little sparo money and fat'gued bodies cannot do better than make a trip to this go-as you please place under the snow capped summits of the Rockies. Fairz. NAB BY. Mr. Kasby Goes to Copiah County, Hiss on a Mission to the Peace Loving: Citizens.

LETTER FROM COLORADO. the Editor of the Capital. La Veta, August 8. One not wholly cosmopolitan ia liable to experience great surprise at the abrupt transition from the yellow harvests and ardent heats of the Kansas prauies, to the rocky hillsides and eternal enows of southwestern Colorado. Ia any event it is invigorating.

The cool freshness of thesa breezy altitudes gives renewed strength and elasticity to faded and wilted bodies coming up from the scorching Gehenna of the Kaw valley. At Ellis, on the 7th at 4 p. mi the mercury registered 104 in the nade, and at 7:30 p. m. it marked 96.

Twenty-four hours thereafter the writer made snow balls from a drift fifty feet deep, on the crest of the Rocky mountains, 12,000 feet above the sea. It is nine years since the undereigned and the westward advance of the frontier of agriculture daring that time is mo3t surprising. Where great herds of buffalo roamed at that time, are now seen vast areas of wavy, golden grain. It is rare in any State or cauntry to see a better wheat crop than is produced this year on the KanBis end of the "great American 'desert." 300 milei west Irom Kansas City is epread out on either hand apparently one enormous wheatfield. So that the people of Kansas will surely score another great wheat crop this year.

The corn end oats promise equally welt, b'ome farmers, however, labor under the mistaken ilea that they are better off with a Smaller crop and itter prices, alleging that they get more money from a light crop than from a heavy one. However this may result in an individual case, it is absurd ia the aggregate; else a country would become impovensoed by plenty, and enriched in proportion to scarcity. Despite the panics ia Wall street, and the consequent stagnation in many lines of business, the country as a whole is rich enormously rich. If grain is cheap, so also are nearly all articles cf family Sugar, t6a, coffee, clothing, lumber and hardware were never cheaper or more easily purchased than now. All the necessaries of life, and most of the luxuries are plentiful and cheap, and surely a nation or an individual is rich in the ratio of what it has rather than in the ratio of what it has not.

We hear much about the great "shrink age in values" in railway stocks and kin dred species of properly. It would be much more correct io speak of a shrink age in prices or confidence, for the truth is such stocks never had their values indi dicated by the fictiiicm prices at which they were forcibly maintained It is idle to contend that the large accu mulation of water in all railway stocks represents value. It generally represents fraud. What has occurred to shrink bo severely any actual values of a majority A 1 1 OI rail nay tusicu i 19 iuciq uut no umyj a crop moving and to move as ueuiI, and has the passenger traffic seriously fallen off? Certainly the outlook for railroads that are honestly managed on an unwater- ed capital baBis is as encouraging as one could wish. The Great difficulty with many of our roads is thev begin in the woods and end nowhere.

One has only to travel over the far weU to be convinced that the railroads in many cases have far outstripped the demand fcr them. They have been built and operated at enormous expense over vast areas of CQQUtry WITHCUIi )Ummiivii nuu niuiuui products. The inevitable result is the stockholders niuet wait for their dividends. A railway mania has controlled our capi talists of late, and almost any enterprise involving the construction cf a railroad has found ready support among monied men. The result has been the building of many non-paying lines and a onesided development of the country.

The troubles of the mountain roads of Colorado to-day bear testimony to the fact that it requires population and products to sustain a rail road. Colorado has undoubtedly great re- eources but her arable areas are very lim ited, and her mineral treasures are lowea deep in the bosom of her granite mountains. For a sure and steady universal prosperity, the rich pastures and yellow grain fields of Kanses eurpaes any purely mineral region. To be sure, Colorado boasts of her rich valleys and her vast herds of cattle; but tne traveler wrougn both sections is struck: most forcibly with nreoonderance or iaio, wwim in Kansas. Ii would seem that he who OTlnes to the depth of twelve incnes wua hila plow is more certain to "strike it rich" than he who goes in twelve hundred feet with pick and dynamite, tnouga laDor, Brown, "Mackey, Fair, Jones, Sharon, Flood, Basbick and Byan are notable exceptions to the rule.

To say that the mining interests of Colorado are declining might be premature; bat it is undeniable that in many parts they are in a very depressed condition.

Nafby, OPTICIAN, Has Returned to Topeka, for a SHORT, TIME ONLY. This is His Sixth Annual Visit TO THIS CITY. He can be con-uVed at ROOM 13, WINDSOR HOTEL. Professor Samuels Oners to those who are buffering from Weafoess and Defective Ejesilt HIS IMPROVED Crystal Spectacles. Superior to Any Other in Use.

As the following evidence of well known people of this city and vicinity. who haue worn them tjr years, wilJ testily an.j tbe result wiu speak for itself. The following are a few of the numer ous USOLICIlFI TESTIMONIALS: TESTIMONY f-F MR W. EDSON OF THE F1HM OF EDSON A BECK, tFTOPJCKA. When W.

Edson, of Topeka, was six teen years old, he had the measles very badly, and they left him wi'h the sight of his right eje so seriously affected that he has not been able to see out of that organ until about seven months ago, when Prof Samuels, the noted optician, furnished him pair of glasses that filled tbe bill com pie ely, and enabled him to see as wa 1 out of his heretofore blind eye as he can out of the KOod one. Mr. Ed ion himself never th uht such a thm? coud be done, because before meeting rrof. Samuels he had tried all of the different kinds of glasses made, but could pet thing that gave him any sort of relief. Such a wonderful cure as this is certainly eouieihini? remarkable, for Sir.

E60n had the use of but one eye, and had the other been equally affected he would not have been able to see at all. Doubtless a greit maoy people who are groping through life in our blind asji-ns are a fleeted juot as Mr. was, when, did the; know it, they could be easily made to see, if Prof. Samuels could get hold of them Toptka Capital. FROM EX-STATE TREASURER FRANCIS.

Topeka, April 7, 1883. Prof. Samuels, Optician: Dear Sir: The glasses furnished by you to myself an I daughter give good satisfaction in fact my daughter says she haa never been able to see bo well cs 6he dots now; as for myself I must say that I derive great satbrgction in extminins objects at a oistance, which without tbe I could not discern. It gives me great pleasure to recommend you to all those i. need of your hkill as an optician.

Very truly yours, John Francis. Topeka, October 1, 1883. To whom it may concern: Appreciating the service and benefit ren dered me by Prof. Samuels during his for-mer visit here, I mct heartily recommend, him to all who may require the cervices rf a skillful optician. During the past two years I have consulted and been by a numbei of tbe noted and celebrated occuli8ts and rpticians in this country, and Prof.

Samuels is the only one who has sue ceeded in supplying me with a pair cf glasses throuah which I am enabled to read ordinary newspaper type, end through the use of these glaeses I attribute the marked improvement in my sight Very respecfully, 8am Radges. Lansing, Lbavekworth Kan Jwuarv 17 1882. Prof. H. Samuels, Optician, Quiuey, Ills.

Djeas Kir The glasses you otied to my eyes have relieved me from all difficulty, and I can now read and all my work without pain. My difficulty whs caused by ulcerated cornea, which produced a change in tbe condition of the eye which had not been overcome by any glasses heretofore fitted, until those fitted by yourself. Very truly yours, Usnby Hopkins, Warden Kanaka Si ate pHuitentiary. FROM MILTON TTUE St. Jcsxph, March 6 Pi of.

Sintuele My Daar 8ir: I am glad to be able to cay hat the glaeses vou tiled to my eyes five years sgo are all that the most exacting person could wish for. I not only see better with them than any other I have ever used before, but in nsicg tsem I have a sense of ease, rest and coolness which I appreciate very highlv. I can give no warmer endorsement of your than to say that I can wear them as long at a time as I want without fatiguing my eyes.
