RAGING AT SARATOGA Closing Day of a Successful Meeting. A GRAND ATTENDANCE. Survivor, Wildidle, Rambler, Spindrift and Deadhead the Winners. Saratoca, August 21, 1875. Yesterday’s races were a fitting climax of the Au- mst meeting of the Saratoga Association. . Splendid as #48 the opening day, crowded as the gitendance was, yesterday surpassed it in both respects. For weeks we have not had such a clear, bright morning; such a per- fect azure Night and dainty clouds; such a balmy, cool, bracing at- Wosphere, The crush on the grand stand and the lawn below was perfeetly iminense, far eclipsing any previous | Aay of the present racing season. As usual, everybody's ipirits were in unison with the lovely day. The gayety, the laughter, the general abandon, the outbursts of | ®agorness, excitement and enthusiastic applause on the grand stand would have roused the most torpid spirit. ‘THE Last DAY. It was rather dreary to reflect that in little over three hours this scene of animation and merriment, of bustle and excitement, would be deserted for another year. And yet the viow from the grand stand on a day like this is really itself worth a visit at any time. The Breen woods and dim, hazy blue mountains in the dis- tance steeped in the warm, mellow sunshine, it is. such Becene as no lover of the beautiful in nature could easily forget, and although most of the people are too intensely absorbed in the actual business of the day to tontemplate nature’s beauties with a very attentive eye the loveliness of the scone and the surroundings is natu- rally reflected in their bright, happy faces.. I did not Bee a face yesterday that did not bear a lively expression of animation and pleasure. ‘Tt was rather an impatient crowd, however, a crowd that would be incessantly amused—one that insisted that there should be no cessation in its hilarity, and no Pause in the delightful sport. THE RACING. Amore beautiful day for racing has not been seen at Baratoga in years, the atmosphere being fresh and balmy, while the track was all that could have been de- sired by the owners of the horses that were to contend for the several prizes. Five events were on tho card, the first being a race of a mile and three-quarters, with allowances for beaten horses; the second a dash of four miles; the third a selling sweepstakes for three- year-olds, a dash of a mile anda quarter; the fourth a free handicap sweepstakes for all ages, one mile, and the | Bfth a free handicap steeplechase, All the races were | well contested, aud the meeting closed for the year 1875 with great éclat, It bag been throughout the most suc- fessful meeting in every, respect that ever took placo The first event was fora purse of $500, winners at pither meeting oxcluded and allowances made for beaten horses; one mile and three quarters. For this there ‘were six starters, comprising John Coffee’s brown horse B. F. Carver, by Lightning, dam La Victime, 5 Bradnodt carrying 102 Ibs. for being beaten twice; Jo. ue’s bay colt Seratch, by Kentucky, dam Fluke, A years old, 96 lbs., beaten twice; A.B. Lewis & Co.’s phestnat filly Vinaigrette, by Vandal, dam Liza Davis, Byears old, 15 lbs., beaten twice; A.M. Burton's bay horse Survivor, by Vandal, dam by Lexington, 5 years eld, 102 Ibs. beaten twice; D. McDaniel’s chestnut colt ‘Willie Burke, by Baywood, dam Katinka, 3 years old, WS Ibs., beaten! twice, and General Harney, by Pat Mal- doy, dam Yellowbird, 3 years old, 90 Ibs., the latter not having run at the laft meeting. He was beaten, how- ever, at the first meeting by Victor in the Sequel Stakes, ' Bwo miles ona heavy track, in most excellent time, * and with the regulation weight up he was fayorile in Dome of the pool sales for this race. He ran a capital Face, but was beaten a neck by Survivor. who was sell- Ingin the pools at low figures compared with the thera. This was a great turn over to the knowing ones. The second race was between M. A. Littell’s bay horso Wildidle, by Australian, dam Idlewildg 5 years eld, 114 Ibs., and Thomas Puryear’s (J. E, B¥ewster’s) chestnut colt Rutherfurd, a dash of four miles, Ruther- furd was the favorite, selling for about two to one over ‘Wildidle when the pool selling began the night before the race; but tater on inthe night and this morning ‘Wildidle’s backers came to the front, and the son of Idlewild gold for as much and in some instances a great fleal more than the brother of Felloweraft. A good Face was anticipated by the old lovers of four-mile races, but they were somewhat disappointed. Rutherfurd beat Wildidle at Long Branch on the 8th of July, four miles, 7:34%, but Wildidle was thought to be in better order at this time, while Rutheyfurd was considered not fo good as in the early part of the summer. This opin- Jon proved correct, for he was beaten by Wildidle in | very ordinary time—7:39. ‘The third event wus a selling sweep for three-year- olds, with allowances for small prices. Three came to the ‘post. These were E. A. Clabaugh’s chestnut filly Violet, by Vauxhall, dam Mary Watson, to be sold for ), bo Ibs. ; D. McDaniel & Co.'s bay colt Paul Pry, by quirer, dam Mary Churchill, $600, 92 Ibs, and’ A. Taylor's bay colt Rambicr (late Consignee), by’ Lexing- ton, dam Cairngorm, $500, 92 Ibs. mbler was the lavorite, selling in the pools for as much ng all the others combined. Ho is a fine looking colt and well bred, being a brother to that once fine racehorse Pil- grim, now in the stud in Texas. Violet has run four times, but never came to the front injany of her con tests.’ Paul Pry has been three times ‘before the public but has never appeared to advantage in any of his races, The fourth race was a free handicap sweepstakes. for all ages, u dush of one mile. Post for this event, comprising Jo Donahuo's chestnut jorge Spindrift, by Bonnie Scotland, dam by Waguer, aged, carrying 111 Ibs; John Coffeo’s gray borse Don nybrook by Lighting, dam Jessamine Porter, 6 yours ol i. 5 b: 107 Ibs, ; AB, Lewis & Co.'s bay mare Vandalite, ‘andal, dam Vesperlight, 4 Years old, 105 Ibs, and the same gentleman's brown colt Vagabond, by Vandal, fam Gem, 3 years old, 78 Ibs; R.

MeDanie chestnut colt Willie Burke, ‘by Baywood, dam Katinka, 8 years old, 8 Ibs. All the’ above horses are well known to the public, and yet their racing abilities seemed to be ag much a mystery by the specu- lators as if they had never been dn tho course. There Was a great deal of botting on the result, Spindrift hay- ing the call us favorite, Enlister second choice, aud Lewis & Co.'s team third, Spindrift beat all the others very easily in very fair time, the old horse being in much better condition that he has been for a long time.

Heratp Towser, Sanaroca Lakz,) , ‘August 21, 1875. Every train arriving in Saratoga brings fresh acces- sions to the number of boating men already here to participate and witness the third annual international’ regatta onthe lake, which commences next Tuesday and continues for three days. It was thought for some time previous that the number of entries would be greater than what it is, but the time elapsing from the day that it was finally resolved upon to hold the re- gatta and the dnte set down' for the closing of the en- | tries was so’ brief that tmuny crews and several’ sdullers “found it inrpossiblé~ to make their ar- Tangemonts to get away to row, However, what the’ meeting will lack in quantity will be more than made up | in quality. Never before in'the history of amateur boat” racing in this country bas there been so many first class” and accomplished oarsmen bronght together at one time. Whoever winsin each of the’ several races set down will have to work hard for every boat's length of) water rowed over! “Favorites are few. ‘There ts no “gure thing” for any sculler or any boat’s crow in any | of the contests, The men entered for singles, doubles, * pairs or in fours are @il first class, having good records, and each one déterinined to win if he can. Tn sporting parlance, there is no “two to one” on any single entry against any other single entry. Courtney, the cham- pion of the State, will have to row hard to maintain his | supremacy in single sculls when such men as Bain-' bridge, “Yater, Riley, Roache and Wilson are pitted against him, each of whom ts determined to secure the® laurels'the champion now Wears, In thedouble sculland pair oared contest a similar feeling exists regarding the present holderg of the prizes. The four oared race will | be warmly contested, and {t is not au improbable event | that the Beaverwycks, of Albany, who won so mag- nificently last year, may have to takea less conspicuous position, so close will be the coritest, after Thursday's ’ battle is decided. DRAWING FOR POSITIONS. Tho Regatta Committee met last night at the rooms of the Saratoga Rowing Association and, after opening the entries, proceeded to draw for positions in each of the races. During the drawing many of the oarsmen dropped in and watched the progress of the work and, when the drawing was concluded, expressed themselves as thor- oughly sdtistied with the manner of itsprocedure. ‘The positions commence from the west shore of the lake, so that No. 1 is the station next to the grand stand. In the race for State championship David Roache, of the Waverloy Club, New York, ‘has the first position, with Courtney dlongside of him; then comes Maxwell '| of the Seawanhaka, and’ McCormack, Leflman, Riey | and Gervin at the fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh stake- boats. In the single scull junior G. E, Mann has the post nearest the Grand Stand, Riley, of the Argonauta, next; then comes Ackerman, alongside of him Lathrop, Gervin next, then Tompkins, of the Woolvonhooks, | with Robinson and Orr in the seventh and eighth posi- tions. The single scull senior gives Courtney No. 1, Randall, of the Potomues, No. 2; Riley, of the Nep- tunes, No, 8; Frank Yates, of the Pilot Club, Michigan, No. 4; McCormack, of the Beaverwycks, No. 5; Bain- bridge, of the Argonauta, No. 6; Dave Roache, of the Waverleys, No. 7; Maxwell, of the Seawanhaka, No. 8; Gervin, of the Beaverwycks, No, 9; Lathrop, of gthe same club, No. 10; Ackerman, of the Avlantic, No. ll, and Orr, of the Scawanhaka, No. 12 In tho pair-oared race Smith ari Eldred, of the Argonautas, have first place; alongside of them are Gor- man and Wilson, of the Beaverwycks, with Fenton and Hughes, of the Mutuals, No. 3. In the double-scull race Randal! and Copeley. of the Potomae Clab, have No. 1, near the grand stand; Riley and Leffinan, of the Nep- tune, No. 2; Courtney and Robinson, of Union Springs, No, 8; McCormack and Lathrop, of the Beaverwycks, No. 4, and Orr and Maxwell, of the Seawanhaka, No. 6. ‘The drawing for places for fours gave tho Red Wing boat, of Minnesota, No, 1; the Beaverwycks, No. 2; the Atalantas, No. 3; tne Mutuals, No, 4; the Duchesne, No. 5; the Buffaloes, No, 6, with the Argonautas hold- ing the extreme position on the east of the line. THE RNTRIES, It will be seen by the reading of the preceding para- graph that there are altogether fourteen clubs repre- sented for the approaching regatta. ‘They rank among | the best and most energetic clubs in the country, and the men each club has sent to do battle for the honor of their respective colors are all picked and tried men. The entries for all six races will number forty-two, The sections of country represented comprise Michi- gan, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, District of Columbia, ‘New Jersey and New York. THE STATE CHAMPIONSHIP, which take#Mplace on Tuesday and inaugurates the re- gatta, will be a fairrace, There are seven entries for this race, Courtney, the present holder of the prize, will work hard to win it again. He will find it no easy | task. Riley, of the Neptune, an oareman well known in Saratoga, is going to make the champion row fast, Roache, the Waverley representative, has the ambition to Gill the place, and as Dave is rowing splendidly he will not be far off from tho finish when the raco is ended. Leffman also is regarded favorably, and the | Beaverwyck entries are not to be overlooked in the con- test, THE JUNIOR SINGLE SCULL will bring out eight good scullers, Riley, of the Nep- | tunes figures here again, so that, if he fails to win the | championship of the State in the first race, he has a chance to win ing junior feld, The Argonauta Mann is also in this group of eight, and, in order to keop him company, the Beaverwycks have two of their boys. ‘The Argonautas and the Beaverwycks like close com* panionship. Itis @ strong evidence of the friendliness existing between the two clubs, Robinson, who rowed from Union Springs last year in the juniors, is here again, looking well and rowing better than he dida year ago, The Woolvouhooks, of Greenbush, pin their faith on their Tompkins, and the Seawanhaka and At- antic expect that Orr and Ackerman will do their duty, THE SENIOR SINGLE SCULL RACK, ‘for which there are twelve scullers entered, will, it is thought, prove one of the finest single races ever rowed in American waters, Nearly every man entered is well known and have splendid records. If there should bea graphs that there will be sixty more arrivals, ‘The Long Branch Stakes for 1877 closed for entries on | the 16th inst. with a greater number thar ever befere. For the Jersey Derby Stakes there are fifty-three en- | tries; for the Monmouth Oaks Stakes, thirty-six entries for the Ovean Hotel Stakes, thirty-three; for the West | End Hotel Stakes, thirty-four, aud for the Robins Stakes, twenty-nine. “| Special trains to Long Branch, stopping at the track will leave New York at ten o’clock on the race days, | | | YACHTING NOTE.

A meeting of the oarsmen will be held thils evening, and possibly the subject may come up for discussion. ‘THE YOTOMAC’S Misiar. The Potomac crew lost both their boats in the “smash up’ on the Saratoga and Rensselaer Railroad on Friday. The express ear in which they wero placed Was completely wreeked, Messrs. Randall and Copeley were in the car at the time with their boats, and one of ‘the gentlemen (Mr. Randall) had a most narrow escape. He was drenched with water from the engine, but, fortu- nately, escaped without further injury. . TIME OF STARTING. ‘The races each day will commence promptly at 11 in in, provided the water is in good condition. Eyéry arrangement is being made to make the affair pleasant and render the Grand International Regatta for 1875 the most successful and brilliant ever rowed over the waters of Saratoga Lake. THE LONG BRANCH REGATTA. Loxe Brancu, August 21, 1875. ‘The first regatta of the Long Branch Rowing Associa- Jon will take place on Monday next at Pleasure Bu: There will be twelve competitors for the single scull race, which will be rowed in three heats of four cach. with a winner’s heat for the prizo. The single scull handsome silver cup; mile heats, ending at "leusare Buy dock. A large and fashionable attendance is anticipated. THE NASSAU BOAT CLUB. The semi-monthly club race of the Nassau Boat Club took place yesterday afternoon, on the Harlem River, and was attended by @ large number of friends of tho club, many of whom were unable to remain to see the | closing race, owing to the lateness of the hour. It wonld be much more to the interest of the club if they tried to hold their races before nightfall, ‘The first race was the “Nassau’s six-oared gig against their six-oured burge, distance ono mile, with the tide, ‘The gig crew were undor control of William Robinson, coxswain, and the barge ¢rew in command of William K. Foster. Lindsey Watson acted as general superin- tendent, J. C. Babcock ag starter and referee. It was tear six o’elock when the first race got under way, tho gig crew taking the lead and keeping it for fully the first quarter of a mile, It was apparent {o all that the gig crew had matters all their own way, and could have dis- tanced their opponents fully a quarter of a mile; but, when the half-mile stretch had been made, Robinson suddenly made a dash toward the barge crew and made one of the worst fouls that was ever witnessed. Both boats at once came to a standstill for a second or two, when the barge again got away and started for the home stakeboat, winning the race in 6m. 11\s. ‘The second race was between the heavy crew and light crew, in four-oared shells, distance two miles, with the tide, It was quite dark when the two crews got under way. ‘The heavy weights won without a struggle in 13m. 3s, ‘The third rage, for single sculls, one mile, open to all, ‘was postponed, owing to darkness having set in. BOATING NOTE, ‘The Watkins and Seneca Lake Rowing and Regatta Association will hold an amateur and professional re- atta at Watkins (headwaters of Seneca Lake) on the th, 8th and 9th September. The prizes to be rowed for are’said to be valued at $2.00. MINIATURE YACHTING. A PLEASANT DAY AT PROSPECT PARK. The little folk had a decidedly pleasant time yesterday at Prospect Park, Brooklyn. A delicious breeze kept everybody cool and kept the little yachts running at a rate of speed rather astonishing in such diminutive craft, The first race was between the schooner yachts Mermaid, Prancer and Quickstep. ‘The yachts wero fairly matched and made a good start. The Prancer was a little the favorite in the pools, with the Mermaid second. The boats kept well together until the point was reached, and here all three came nearly to a dead stand, but finally, by the aid of the judges, they were sent on their way again, the Mermaid in the lead, an advantage she maintained until the close of the race. The second race was be- tween the Eleanora and the Nettie and was the best contested race of theday. The little vessels behaved splendidly and made the fastest time that was ever made onthe lake, Not an accident happeued to either of them and they did full justice to their builder. Tho Eleanora won the race by about five lengths in 17m. lla The third race was between the Brooklyn Belle and the Plover, and was avery fairly contested run, though a little difficulty was caused in getting them off.’ Probably there was more excitement over this ra others from the fact that both of the victorious in hard contested matches. favorite from the start, and she proved herself worthy of the confidence placed in ber by her admirers. Sho took the lead from the first and kept it to the eud of the race, winning in 9m. 238. by nearly a dozen lengths. | boy Saturday there is to be a grand regatta on the 0. “WHE NATIONAL GAME.

The Hartford players in this game fielded the ball with great skill and judgment, but threo fielding errors, and those very ex- cusable ones, being credited to thom throughout the en. tire nino innings played, ‘Their batting was also very strong, some exceedingly fine line hits being made by them in the early part of the game.

JOHN'S GUILD HOSPITAL BARGE AND ITS PAS- SENGERS, ‘Tho eleventh excursion of the St, John’s Guild Float- ing Hospital took place yesterday, under the direction of Rev. Alvah Wiswall, the trip being fro: nty-third | street, Kast River, to Market street, to West Tenth street, to Thirty-fourth street, North River, and from | there down the bay and return to the piers named. Tbe | excursionists numbered in all without including help, deck hands, &c., 1,304, of which 388 were adults, Tho | object of this Floating Hospital is to seéure to destitute | women with sick babies an opportunity to obtain re- | newod health and invigoration by means of atrip or | trips in the pure and bracing air obtained on the wators | of the bay or river. hero is, however, a clause on the tickets, which aro issued by the resident physicians of | the city, which says, ‘Children under eight | years of age, who cannot be left at home, may accompany their — mothers.” ~—- Yesterday this proviso was fully taken advantage of, for, although there were a largo number of mothers who carried unmistakably sick infants in their arms, yet at the different landings made there were, on the | other hand, a very large number of women admitted on | the barge who had no babies in arms, but brought with them some four or five children each, which they claimed | to be sick, but who bore in their visages and general be- havior no signs of sickness. Again, too, the question arose as to whether even the children were their own, so different did they appear both in physioguomy and | dress. Howeyer, i is fair to say that Dr. Thurman, the *| physician in charge, exercised the greatest possible care | in scrutinizing the different applicants for admission to | the barge, and many wxre the cuses in which he refused to take on board purties who bore tckets for | | the excursion, yet showed signs of the most perfect health, and which it was impossible to doubt they possessed, On getting aboard the barge breakfast was served to all, consisting of tea, milk, hominy and bread and butter ad libitum, Dinner was commenced | to be served from about noon finishing shortly after four o'clock. ‘This meal consisted of soup, teu, a slice of | ‘cold roast beef and bread and butter; while after this | whenever any of the excursionists required a drink of | milk or tea they could get it by the asking.

Im fact, the $250 cannot be | suid to represent the cost of the excursion at all, for | Mr. Wiswall said he could not give the exact figures, but | that was about the average.

Death has just removed one of the most prominent citizens of Wostern New York and the last of the busi- ness men of Buffalo who were in active life at the period of the burning of the town by the British Cana, dian forces inthe war of 1812-14. Lucius Storrs was | born at Mansfield, Conn., and passed in that State his boyhood and youth Following the usual course of en- terprising Yankee boys he commenced his business life | by teaching school, which he did for several years in Litchtleld county. In August, 1811, he went to Buffalo, making the tfip in nineteen days—‘‘rapid transit” for those times. He at once became a partner in the firm mercantile business, having branch _establish- ments at Erie, Pa; Brantford and Townsend, Canada, and Canandaigua, N. Y. The firm were large suppliers of flour nnd lumber to the army during the war. Their store, the first brick build. ing erected in Buffalo, was burned in the destruction of | the town by the British troops. Mr, Storrs was subse- quently a member of several leading mercantile firms, and at one time was Deputy Collector of the Port of Batlalo, Ho was for many years an officer of cavalry in the New York State Militia, and in 1880 reached the rank of Major General, his command embracing all that por- tion of the State lying west of Utiea, When he resigned he was only outranked by General Stephen Van Rensselaer. | Mr. Storrs was for many years a member of the Buffalo | | Board of Aldermen, and at one time acting Mayor, in | the absence of Mayor Hiram Pratt. Ho was for more than sixty years a member of the First Presbyterian Chureh, and through his long life enjoyed the esteem of his large circle of wequaintances. His death, | on the 6th inst,, was sincerely mourned, and his funeral | which he had spent a useful life. MRS. MARY KILLERHOUSE, A CENTENARIAN.

Anarchy in Franklin ana Williamson Counties. WORK BY A SHERIFF Seven Shrouded Sharp- shooters Shot. BLOODY Curcaco, Il, August 21, 1875. The deadly, fur reaching vendetta in the South ts not worse than that in Williamson county, in the southern part of this State; and when it ts supplemented by the Ku Klux outrages in Franklin and adjoining counties it may well be asked if Illinois is Indeed, as she claims, the fourth State of the Union in material and Christian civilization, In less than two years in Williamson county six people have been killed, four have been seri- ously injured, and three have been shot at without being hit. About twenty persons, among the number @ newspaper editor, a State's Attorney and several prominew business men, have been compelled to flee for their lives out of the county, either owing to actual attacks or letters of warning received by them. Some of the victims have been shot because they were sup- posed to know too much, and others because they com- mented upon the outrages. All the assassinations were conducted in a most cowardly manner, some of the victims having been shot from ambuscades along public roads and through windows; others, having sud- denly been called from their beds in darkness, were shot before they coult defend themselves. The officers of the law are so afraid of the assassing that they dare not execute the laws or even call for as- sistance, and the people of two counties, Williamson and Jackson, are so intimidated that they dare not even denounce murderous outrages or form themselves inte vigilance committees 6 suppress them. Pending the existence of this reign of terror, none of the villains have been hanged, imprisoned or punished in any man- ner, For two years this infamy bas been allowed to disgraco the State without protest, except from the newspaper press, and without any steps having beem taken by the county or State authorities tostop it. The prominent families engaged in this game ofdeath arg the Bulliners and Hendersons, and mixed with them through relationship and other causes are various other large families, notably Cairns, Russells and Sissons. The Bulliners and Hendersons were both loyal refugees from’ Tennessee and were well to do. It would require pages of the Heranp to narrate the bickerings, lawsuits, se- ductions and brawls which have led to the present ter- rible condition of things in Juckson and Williamson counties, Ican only give you the net results of the boiling over of bad blood between them. * THY DEATH ROLL, Old George Bulliner—Waylaid on the road from his farm to Carbondale and shot, December 28, 1873; died that night. David Bulliner, while riding home from church, on the night of March 29, 1874, in company with his brother Monroe, his cousin Miss Stancil and sev- cral other young men and women, was fired upon from behind a fence at the roadside, receiving two charges of buekshot in his breast; died two days after, Old Jim’ HelMderson, while at work in a field, May, 1874, shot; died a few days after. Dr. Vincent Hincheliffe, waylaid while returning from visits to patients, shot within 200 yards of his own house; instantly killed. George W. Sisney, who, after several attempts had been made upon his life, moved to Carbondale, thinking to find safety in the town, took a house in the most thickly built portion of it. On the night of the 28th, between nine and ten o’clock, he was called up to see a man, and shot from outside through the window of his sitting room and instantly killed. William Spence, on the night of the Sst, after having retired for the night toa sleeping room over tho store at Crainsyille, was called up tosee aman, and went with a lamp in bis hand te the storeroom below, and, while unlocking the door to admit the visitor, was fired at through the show window, receiving a charge of buckshot in his breast, Failing to | Kill him with the charge, the assassins entered the store and fired, two pistol balls, one into his bead and the other in@ tis heert, Jason Detmore, working ina field adjoining Henderson’s place, was, a few days after the murder of old John Henderson, shot, it is supposed by mistake, his assailant supposing him to be one of the | Hendersons, whom Detmore resembled in appearance, Detnore was but sightly wounded and soon recovered. Blank Robb, a workman on Henderson’s place, within a few days of the shooting of Detmore, was at work im a fleld on the Henderson farm when he saw a man with a blanket over his shoulders approaching from a few rods distant. Suddenly the man fell. Robb, supposing that he was in a fit, ran toward him. Robb had pro- ceeded but a few steps when he was shot. The wound, however, 3 not serious, und he soon re- covered, Next, one Leadbetter, a workman op the Henderson place, was shot’ at while working in afield. These shootings, it is supposed, were com- mitted by men who were out gunning after the Hender- sons, but who, being discovered or fancying they wore discovered by the men shot, peppered away with intent to kill the men fired at, so. that the tact of their (the shooters) lying in wait for the Hendersons might not be divulged. On July 20, this year, Allan Baker, a work- man at Pordy’s sawmill, two miles east of Carbondale, who some time previous had a fight with one of th Buliiner boys, was in his room, about to go to bed, when he was shot at through the window. Many of theso hersons wero shot at many times before they were illed. There has been little or no attempt to punish the outlaws. The families are all powerful in the county, and woe to the man who would hunt any of them down 1n a legal way. THE GOVERNOR INACTIVE. Governor Beveridge is as supine as was James Bu- chanan. He would not call out the militia, because the courts were in operation. He would not do anything lest he might violate the constitution, The reign of terror in Williamson seemed to paralyze him, and he has done substantially nothing, thongh the troubles in Franklin county are cause of fresh alarm, These new outrages are of the Ku Kiux order. Monday night last a bloody tight occurred in the vicinity of Benton, Franklin county, between the Sheriff with a posse of about twenty men and a band of Ku Klux, who for some time past bave been commit- ting their outrages on peaccable citizens of the counties of Franklin, Williamson and Jackson. Assistance of the Sheriff was called for on Sunday by J. B, Maddox, one of the Commissioners of Franklin county, who had re- ceived notice from the Ku Klux band that he had not performed certain orders that they had given him, and for this offence they woald call and whip him, BLOODY WORK BY THE SHERIF, Maddox immediately made the threat known to the Sheriff, who collected” a posse, all well. armed, and ac- companied Maddox to his house, The Sheriff and hig men secreted themselves and awaited the appearance of the marauders. About two o'clock at night fourteen of the Ku Klux, disguised in long white robee, white hate and wearing masks, appeared, armed with shotguns and pistols. When they had come near the house the Sherif stepped out and coinmanded them to halt, the answer to the command was a pistol shot by the leader of the band, which took no effect. The Sheriif then cried “halt,’? whereupon the band fired a volley, wheeled their horses and attempted to make their escape. Tha Sheriff and his posse returned the fire, with good re- sults. Several men were wounded and one mortally, but all succeeded in getting away except the one mor, tally wounded. This one, fearing death, confessed and revealed the names of some thirty or forty more of hig companions. From the quantity of bloody clothes found near the fight it is supposed several must have been badly woundes The citizens of Benton called @ meeting, passed some strong and determined res- olutions, and also sent a prominent citizen to place the matter before the Goveruor of the State and carnestly: entreat protection. The name of the man mortall | leaves an extensive progeny scattered all over the | country. M.
