MORE DEMOCRATIC FOLITICS. Rveciat Digpatch io The Tridune Vicksuurg, Miss., Aug. 20,.—Henry M. Dizon, Independent candldate for Sheri® of Yuzoo County, was shot {n Yazoo City yesterday morn- ing sbout half-past 9 o’clock and died fn the cvening at 4 o'clock, o was shot fn the back by James I, Barksdale, Democratic candldate for Chancery Clerk. Dixon was coming dowa the cost side of Main street, and, when ne ot opposite Iaussman's salnon, he was hailed by Barksdale, who stood on the opoosite slde of the street with A DOUBLE-NARRELED SHOTAUN londed with buckshot, ready cocked, fu hishand. Dixon never saw his slayer until he hatled him, and was taken by surprise. He turned towards Burksdale, and Barksdalu's friends claim that he attempted to draw bis oistol, the only weapon he had. It is suppased that Dixon, sco- Ing that Barksdale was much better armed than e, attempted to get out of the way, As ho daid so BARKSDALE FIRED, putting four buckshot in his victim's back. Aftor lis was shot, Dixon turned and fired hlg plstol reovatedly, but without eifect, at Barks- dale. Dixon bled futernaily, and died, sur- rounded by his famlly, at 4 o'clock. DBarkedale was {inmediately arrested, and the case will be Investignted to-morrow. Tho Immediate cause of the shooting was a bitter porsonal quarrel it orlglunted fn the bulldozing affair of the 25th of July. Prior to the present campalin, both eentlemon stood well and were fricadly. Many were “down on® Dixon for the killlng of Samuel Harrison, in Yazoo City, a’ year or two ago.

OLIMPSES OF THB MURDEUGL MAN'S LIPR, Bpectal Dispaten to The Tribune. ‘WasninatoN, D. C,, Aug. 20.—The first in- formation of the murder of Capt. Dixon, of Yazoo, Miss,, reached Washington carly this mornlng ng dispoteh to his mother tromg brother who was with him. The motlier, with other members of the fwnily, s resided for same time fu this city. Tho dispatch which she received from the remalnbng son in Missiseippl read ssfollows: “Murry was shot between 9 and 10 o'clock this morning. gy dled ot twenty miuntes to 5 o'clock this evening.” A subse- quent dispateh stated that the murder was con- mitted Uy J, H. Barksdale, a caudidate for o county ofiice on the regular Democratic tleket. The following facts in regard to Capt, Dixon were obtalned to-day from the mombers of s fumily who reslde hero: The Captaln’s father wad @ Vieginla Usilon man, whoso loyalty was uuquestioned. In the faco of THUREATA AGAINST IS LIPR he voted for Lincoln in Atexandris, when few men thero had sutlicient courugza to doso, llo was an officer in the Unlon army during the Ro- bellion, and his lamily wos compelled to sock vefuro fu thls District. Ho was subsoquontly agsassinnted fu Alexundrin by a rebel Virgininn, Capt. Dixon, murdered yesterday, was o stur dent fn Georgetown, 8, C., during the first yoar of the War, und when only 14 yeara old was {u- duced to Joln Mosby's guerrillas, 1le remained with this company three or four months, when his relatives induced him to return withjo the Unlon Jive. Soou after tho close of the War e marricd the duughter of one of the oldest und wealthlest citizens of Yazoo County, and removed to Misslesippl. Sumo materlsl facts regarding TIE LATE ATTEMPT OF THE DEMOCRATS to drlve bim out of Yazoo Counsy and compel hit to withdraw from ‘the Independent move- ment are known (o his family bere, but have not heretofore been published, Ho bad the largest plantation o Yazoo Couaty, His plan- tation was a few mites from the county seat. Oue day shiortly befors the mob competied him to withdraw from the campaign he visited his plantation, and was expected to return thut wight. 1t appears that the Democrats, who navo becu so anxious to mako It appear that Dizon was stirsing up a confllct of races, had bired 8 squad of negroes to ambush and kitl Dixon sa ho returned to town, IHe wasunex- -pectedly delayed at his plantation until the next day, aud the plot futled, A fow days aftor o TWO OF THE NEGROBY who had been hired so assussinate him made Uim acqueiuted with thewhole arraugement for his murder, A short timo after s retirement from the Judepandent ticket hu was called upon privately by a number of promioent whita citl- zens of the county, and urced to retract his withdrawal, Efght or ten of theso zentlemen, amobg the most influential and wealths In the city, and who are Democrats, assured him that thicre would be no further opposition, and told him that, in case of danger, they woutd protect 1im and his family from haem. 113 MOTHER recelved a letter last week n which he an- nouuced his determination to remain on the ticket. . He detalled these assurances of pro- tection nnd safety which he had recelved, and stated that be fully couvflded fn them, and berged her to dismiss all fears on lis acconnt, The next fotelligence which sbe received re- parding bim was the telegram announcing his murder. APOLOGETIC, THE BULLDOZERS' PLEA. Loumsviue, Ky, Auz’ 20.—The Courier- Jotrnal publishes an interview with Mr, W. D, Hughes, of Yazoo Clty, who was Sccond Lirue tenant of onc of the city compunics ralsed dur- ing the recent exeltement which prevalled In Yazoo. In spswer to the question, “ What sort of & man was Dixon, who was killed by J. H. Barkedale to-day " Mr, Ilughes sald: A violent man, full of prejudice. 1 havo seen hin #hoot the head frum a plgeon at a hundred yarda. Indanger hewasapt to be somewhat rattled, e was n very fascinating fellow, und swas Mied by all the women. I will pive you the followlng ecstimate of charncter, which Is taken Irom (he report of a comnittee, and which necds no floishing touch from me: ¢Wo believe he fs o murderer. Passing by the cases of nany men who have died at his hands fns this county, we belleve that Dixon murdered Mr. Samuel Harrlson In cold blood. The Mayor of Yazoo City, Mr. J. . Holt, thought so, and cqmmitted bim to Jall without bnil. Our Cir- cult Judge, the tlon. 8, B, Cathoun, thought £o, und remanded hiw to Jall without ball. For months he filled o folon's cell, and we belleve he only escaped a felon'sdoom und felon’s death for want of Intelligence nud virtue fn the jury bint tried bim. To sum up fn brict our opinlon aud estimate of the character of the man Dixon, we declara 88 our duliberate oplnfon that he is s murderer, a gambler, 8 bully, o thief, n wan of vlulence, of blood, of lles. A man who will pack jurles, a low, unprinclpled demagogue in politica, nnd an infidel fu religlon. ile unites fn himself cvery quality required to make him the deteatable monster that e §s, and ho wauts every qualification necessary to mako him tbe entlenan that he is not. © For tivss reusons we detest the man 1, M. Dixon, wnd we sav further that he is not fit in uny sense to bold any oflice of honor, prolit, gr trust known to our laws; and we furihermore deelara wid say that he sholl not hold uny such oflies in our county Ifin our power to preventit. As an cvidence of our siucerity in this declur- atlon, we do hereby further declure that we ratify und confirm the acts and doines of our feilow Democruts at Yazoo City oo the 25th of Juiy lost, und “thut we will stand to und abide by their action and the action of this mecting at every hazuvd to the lust extremity.’ " RANKIN COUNTY.
