The action of tin.- white men of
Yazoo City after the horrible mur
der ot three of their most estimable
fellow-citizens by negroes on Christ
mas Kve, cannot be mentioned but
in praise. Cutler the moat trying
ordeal anti in the the presence of one
of '..lie most rnid-blooded anil ex
asperating of murders, when excite
1 ment was at fever heat, and swift
rC ribiition was the natmnl desire of
every heart, the Voice of reason, of
prudence, of f iresight as to the
future interests not only ot defamed
Yazoo, hut of onr entire State, was
heart! and heeded, ami it. wa* solemn
ly determined to honor onr laws anti
our entitle by leaving ltie death-de
serving eiiminals to them. All
honor to the true men who at such a
time ami under swell circumstances
raised tloir voices nml lent their
efforts in bringing about such a re
sult.
Since the foregoing Was writen
the news reached ns which is copied
from fhe Timt*«-Demoi-rat *|x*cial in
another column. It seems that pas
sion, revenge and lawlessness
triumjdied at last over re#a >n and
prudence, and the prisoners were
lynched iu a manner so brutal that
it reflects discredit upon both the
civilisation and humanity of our
State, to say nothing of a disregard i
for law. II ivvever. the men who stood [
up for the right, have nothing of I
which to tie ashamed.
■ DNI-A lrnr ol Ksmtu.
From i he present outlook we have
| reason to siipj o-e that the twelve |
months commencing first of January,
1884, and ending first of January.
1885, will I c the most important
year of our hi'ti’rv; leaving out the'
years embraced in the late War be-!
'tween the Slates, and that within!
this brii f period of tir*v cvi fits will |
occur from which the future liistor I
ian will date an accelerated progress (
i in the gient indust ies, inventions'
and theories of the age. For the1
] next year the people of the Southern
I portion of tlie United States will
have do time to waste if they attempt
; io come up to (tie expectations ot
the enlightened nations of the eaitli.
It is true that, the whole people ol I
■ the United States are interested in'
the” certain < rents of the year 1884. ‘
! but especially are the people i t the :
, South, in who-e renter one of the
giea’est shows will be held that lias
j ever claimed the attention of i ?vi 1 i —
zaaion. The Exposition to which
we refer, will demand a y ar s pre- j
paration of each cftizen of this see- i
lion of country In 3 we its macr doors j
1 and entrances are opened in Decent- j
j b <r. 1884, if they develop the UV'l re
I sources, inventions, improvement [
and interests to be represented dur
'ing the six months i f its display.
'This, however, is not, all the attrac
, tions in this line. The Louisville,
J Exposition so recently the ecu |
j tie wf so much interest in that i
| city, is to be repeated at some;
time iluring the full of next year,
1 not to snnllict with the Expo
sition of New (Means, in December,
1384. lvtH th-»t* are not all. In
November,'1884. an election wi-ll be
held for President, of the United
States, whose administration will
commence 4th <♦( March, 1S84. Pn
paratory to this qiind'enniai event,
there wilt by two national' conven
tions for the purpose of selecting
candidates for this emlted' place,
t Kach of the great) political parties
will pivsi lit their standard bearers
in the campaign' of l!88-4, to whose
[support the citizens o$ the United
[ Stat s will be nske*', importuned,
and in some iretances b*ibed to
j vote.
! The foregoing occnrrenccs arc
certainties and presint to the mind
j of every thoughtful citixen of the
United States important duties and
' trusts from which they cannot
escape, and which will demand their
'serious attention and profound
| thought,, and this, too, during the
enttire year, in which the farmer
! must plant,, cultivate, gather and
| dispose of all ilis crops, the business
, men of every calling and profession
will have their finanaial mechanical.

Probably throughout tlu> length
ami breadth of the United States no
sadder Christinas was passed in anv i
plate than in YaBoo City. Tht Sn-1
tire community were overcome with
horror, and the geuerai rejoicing* of:
the day “when peace on earth and !
good will towards men” was pro-1
claimed, was turned to mourning a ml ■
lamentation.
On Chris' mas Kvc Yazoo City was,
thronged with people from the conn i
try coining to town to make purrha
ses usual at Chris'mas. As night
drew on the toting folks turned out
en masse to enjoy their flre-crackers
and fire works, slid when about 10
o'clock the report of firb armft was;
heard, many believed it a part of!
Christmas; soon, however, the tefii-i
ble news was made known—two of
iour best and most patriotic Citizens
lay'in the sleep of death,- another
was just about giving up his young
life, and two others were seriously j
wounded, all by the hands of vio— !
lence. The shock coming as it did,
at such a time, overcame every one
with horror. As near as we can
learn we will preseut the tacts.
Alter dark n difficulty occurred in
I Barkhaus' saloon between two ne- j
j groe9—Kinney Logan and Richard I
kiihbs. Mr. John f*osey cctrtiiWg tip I
at, the time, insisted on tlte arrest
[of the p ities and offered to assist
I in iffecting tlie same. John James t
a colored butcher, employed by Mr. j
A. Lynch, interfered and some!
j words passed between him and Mr. ■
1 I’o'-ey. Mr. Posey then walked up]
] the street and passing by Ihebutchcr
'shop later in the evening, was ■
j diawn into n dispute with John j
l James and W. II. Foote, Deputy j
j Internal Revenue Collector, as was j
afterwards a-cert mined,- a number of ;
; other ncgioes having collected irt the
j butcher-shop full}’armed and pre-j
pared An attempt was made to
i stop the difficulty, and peace was j
1 about restored,- as we learn from a
| reliable gentleman, when tiring be- j
i gan on the part of the negroes, j
! John and Carnot Posey were com
pletely riddled with shot and Carnot
was also shot with a pistol. Mr.
Ja>per Nichols was also fatally
woti-ded and died before day light
j next morning. Mr. Fritz Haider,
prominently known throughout the
! county, and who had been honored
for two consecutive terms with the ;
l.olliee of County Treasurer, was also;
seriorssly wounded by a pistol shot. |
! and Mr. IJen:y Filet, a u>e*»-h-jrrt of
] our town was shot in several places1
by a shot gun. \V. H. Foote, was
j strut k in the head and face,- but not]
dangi ronsly hurt, thougli the wounds 1
are painful.
During the night a li#y of in-!
1 quest was summoned to \3rW the re-;
! mains of .John and CnmoK l*owy, j
I and suelV facts were collrrted »s in
1 the excitement could be obtained, j
About t wo o'clock the bodi’-s of John j
I ami Carnot Posey were carried to |
j their residences in their e* ftios. The
I next morning altidavits were made j
- and a numlier of parties arrested. A
| posse of citizens, with Mr. C. A.
| McDonald, started out to arrest
(.John Jam’s. He was in his house j
and started to run, pistol in hand i
Shots were exchanged and John
; James was killed, having tiled sever-;

' arrested are W, H. Foote. Ike llieh- I

different eases. A citizens’ meeting
was called tor 11 o'clock - Mr. Jno. i
A Williams being appointed chair-1
matt and Mr. W. A. Henry,’secretary, j
The meeting- resolved to appoint a
committee of ten to draw tip resolu
tions express)ve of the sense of the
citizens and the report, made was
as follows.
I'rxolri'd, That the tragedy *f last night
is fraught with deadlyeon-eqUenees to our
community unless some examples is made
of the guilty parties, and it is-the sense of
this meeting that there are parties engag
ed in said tragedy that have Keen and a ill
tie a disturbing element and tiru-hrand
niB'Xtg tvs and must be gotten ri l of by us
and while we are law-abiding citizens, we ,
runuot tolerate the idea of our good fiti
wns beio-g shot flown as was done last
niglit. U e therefore suggest the appoint
ment of twenty-six persons to assist tile
Sheriff, or other officers in arresting all
u;«rti*-s implicated in last night's tragedy
vntl Jo advise <»r take such me&snresas may
j by lie necessary to visit pro pur punishment
wn tlve guilty parties.
Rntttltrtl, That wo requset at this ineot
iiig th*t this t’oiiiinittee be continued for
the purpos* »f furnishing to* the public a'
history suit explanation «<- last night’s
tragedy.
The chair then appointed a com
mittee of twenty-six.
The meeting of citizens, to the
1 number of about 300, re-assemble!I
^ on WediV s lay evening to hear the
! report of the committee of twenty -
I six, which was as follows:
We, the committee rejert to the mret
| ing of citizens, that we dfKlito from the
evidence brought liefore u*. we lielievo W.

This report was received and
unanimously adopted. Mr. .Jno. S'.
V/tifiaiub tiicu announced that the]
qiicsiinii was left la the citizens as

necessary to lay beftrtv our readeis a
statement of the facts connected

the entire paper we give an account
tft the killing in orir midst No
where could a sadder Christina*
have passed. On Christmas Kvc
i>tir popular Sheriff elect lay dead
witli pneumonia, and the whole

of Hon. Kidiert /My. At the same

deserving young tfian, anil connected
ttitli a ntimber of our best families
was dying and the next (lay breathed
bis last. Mr, Howard I-ink, an
energetic and industrious young
man also died on Christmas itay.
These deaths from natural causes
were enough to east a cloud over the
festivities of the season, but in ad
dition came the foaiful event of
Christmas Eve night. Four men
in the prime of life are now in the
grave. Messrs Jno. T. and Carnot
Posey were among onr best and most
respected citizens. Mr. Jasper Nich

generally liked by those who fenew
him. John James was a familiar

Yazoo City, Miss., Dec. 30—The excite- j

citizens growing out of the prvmedialed I
assassination of Messrs. John T. and t'arnot 1
Posey and Jasper Nichols on Christinas Kve |
night found vent last night, between the
( hours of 7 and K n clock, in the killing and j

At nightfall -*e.aterdav it was cl»ar to be

Richard Gibbs, wlm escaped’ fo Sickens
Station, where lie was arrested and returned
here last Friday, was a noted crimiwwd. He
was ii an iron cage, and it being impossible
to get at him his tellow-prisoners in the cage
were compelled to put the noose around
his ne -k. The attempt to hang him was a
failure, so he was pulled to the grated burs
and shot to death. The work was quietly
