Coprespandence of Cincinnatt Gaselte. JAcKsox, Miss., Nov. 30.—I had Intended to goto Kemper County yestcrday, but Kemper saved me the trouble by coming to Jackeon." They were all here: Willlam Guilv, Virgil Gul- ly, Jesse Gully, Houston Qully, J. A, Bwanzy, Chajrman of the Kemper County Democratic Cominittce, and several others. Among the ac- cused s Richard MeCally a very black man, who talks & lugo that can scardely be recognized as English.

Il was nominated by the Repub- llcann of that district {n 1873, and was one ot the fow Repubticans who had the hardibiood to canyass his district. o made his stpolntinents and went to speaking. Such a canvass as re- lated to me by men of all partles has few parallels In the history of politics. Nearly atl the meetings were attacked by armed Demo- crats, wlo constantly interrupted the specches, and used all means sbort of actual shooting fo scare tho negroes mway. 8tfll the l(eguhl!zmns persisted, and as” o last resort the killing began, At Macon a colored procession was fired luto and a namber killed, far the alleced provocation of “meking too much nolse with n drum.” 8till the blucks refused to give up the canvass, and then a rofy of terror was inaugurated. Judge Chisholm was twice driven from the stand ana his audi- ence scattered by armed Democrats, after which he abandoned ihe canvass, On eloctfon-day, armed Demourats took possession of the polls in most of tho precinets, and excluded tho Republicans. Itis needless to say that the Judge was defeated. Theso offenses belng notorlous, the Grand Jury of the United States District Court summoned severnl witnesses, ummuiwlmm wero Judge Chisholm and John W, Gully. Indictments were found againat those men- tloned, and the trial sct for the spring term, 1877, By way of preparation, the Democrats o Kemper commonced driving away tho wituesses. Four of them refused to go, viz.: Judge Chis- holm, J. P, Gllmer, and the brothers Hopper. As o lnst resort, Chisholm and Giliner wero killed, aud the Democrals are now walting to see ) the Roppers will not leave. It istobe presumed that they will. 1 am much pleased to notice that the Demo- crata of this viclnity do not look kindly on their Kemper County brethren.
