As Kallock approached the carriage Young shot hi:u in tho breast near the heart, Kallock turned and ha i-Lot him again in tho hip. A crowd overturned DeYour.g's car riage and bruised him and a police man considerably, but Jinially DtY. was taken to the City Jail where he was 300:1 joiue I by his brother. Tho an gry crowd threatened to mob the jail and bang both brothels and if Kallock had died probably they would. Al though Kallock was .supposed to be mortally wounded he is :;;ive yet. Ira i::ensp throngs of workingmen crowd ed the streets around his hotel and gathered r.t the "Laud Lots" wk-ore in flauiatory speeches were mad?. It looked at one time as if the mob would control the City, Kearney was sent for and for a wonder counselled moderation and peace until it could bo known whether Kallock would die or not, when if ho died nothing should save the De Youngs. All is quiet now, the police and state troops are kept in readiness and Kallock is reported better. The California Press blame the Chronicle and state what is tha fact that it was a brutal murder on De Young's part. lie commenced tha fight, opened the ball of abuse and when Kallock made it too hot for him, shot him. For the time it will help the workingmeu party, or, may let the straight Republicans in as they have had cothing to do with the mu?s eith er way.

The Republican Central Committee this County met at Light Mile Grove cm Saturday, and fixed the date of the County Convention, on Saturday, Sept. "Olh, at Weeping Water. The meet ing was a satisfactory one in every way and passed off with great pleas antness, and good feeling all round. We mention this because some people very foolishly prophesyed that we would have a row. Let's hunt up a man soiaewhere for next Unite.! States Senator fioni Xo braska. Fluttsmouth Herald. If a better mm can be found than Hon. A. S. Paddock, will the Herald please trot him out? He suits Repub lican Yalley Republicans. We would like to examine the pints of your "dark horse," i ' y v u. have one. - Hat bin Stand ard. We didn't say anything about Pad dofk.f did we or dark horse either. Senator 1. may bo the only Senator wo haye at present, we've heard that too, but he isn't the only man in the state that might want to go to Washington in 18v i. You'll give us a little choice, won't you V a. man to attack another through tho the columns of a newspaper over an assumed name, and you profess not to receive communications of that kind and I know you don't unless the arti cle suits yeu. Uut you not only allow Mr. Pinafore, as he pleases to call him self m his communication to the Heu ali of the 21st; but you assisted him in his attack on me." If you were not an old man, too old for me to quarrel with Mr. Dovey and I would put myselt on the same level you have, I should simply say you lie aud drop it there, far every word of the above is an untruth and I could prove it by men, gentlemen and officers of this town, in so unmistakable a manner that you would not dare to dispute it or distort what they say. I did not write one letter of PinafoiVs article. I did not assist him at all. He came here very indignant about the matter which until then 1 had heard nothing of. His original article was very severe on you and I insisted on eliminating some of it before I would publish it and suggested that the only member of the Committee mentioned was Mr. Dovey and I thought that was hardly fair. Like yourself when you used to write for the Herald he was headstrong and wanted his article to go in just as he wrote it, saying you was chairman of that committee. I also suggested that you were an old man and 1 knew had been sick lately and that might account for your not serving. The auswer was: "He should not have put iu a bill then." For trying to do vou this kindness, you blackguard and abuse ma. Xow Mr. Dovey it in my business and every tax payers biuinvss to see that j?jO is not taken out of the treas ury; and it is my business aud other poople'3 business to show up a man who is constantly grumbling about high taxes, w hen he endeavours to add to our burdens under the guise of re lieving them ; aud I don't care wheth er you met one day or ten or what you did individually, I say it was no part of a citizen's duty that had any public spirit to charge for that work. Y'ou can settle with "Pinafore" about how much yon served and light it out, but I propose to tell you that after the article was handed me, to satisfy myself I made inquiry of Cottn cilmen, Mayor and others and verified every statement made by Pinafore, and Sir, the comments and remarks on your case was far from complimentary to you, I assure you, as you will tir.d if you present that bill to the Council. I then wrote my own views, si-jned "Ld." (I uever skulk behind anybody Mr. Dovey) commencing "We .-.grce with most of the above, Sec," and e:ie of the things we did not agree on vas mentioning your name and nut gtvii the rest ul tne Committee. I begin to think you deserve all though, because I believed that the chargo lor this work was put in unthinkingly by the other me. libers and would be with drawn when their attention was call ed to it, Uil you it seems mean to light it out and grab your .510. Go it old boy, get it if you can. The last part of your kilter Mr. Dovey is so silly and boyish that, as I have S3en you write some terse Eng lish, I judge you must be now getting into your second childhood aud I look over your petulance.

As usual in such cases, tho bulldozing outrage in Yazoo County ends in a tragedy. A few weeks ago H. M. Dixon, independent candidate for Sheriff, was compelled to withdraw. A demand was made that he leave the county, but this he declined to do. As many persecuted Republicans in the South have done, he asserted his rights as an American citizen, and detied the mob. The filial result in his case is the same as has been frequently re corded in wther cases. He has been shot and killed by James II. Parks dale, onn of the candidats on the Dem ocratic ticket.
