SctUI to the Courier Jisioml.l
Jackson, 5Iis., Antr. 27. I have
rend your articles on tho " Yazoo Affair,1
which appeared on the -2d inst. Tho
fiiends of James A. llarktuklo, one of
the principals in that unfortunate affair,
liavo not expected the Radical journals
of the North, who naturally seize jKrt
this affair to mnko jiolitical capital, to
do him justice in commenting ujon it
And in candor, thry are entirely in
ilifierent to what they may say about
it; but aa your jmjier is n reireacntativo
Southern journal, circulating largely in
this aud other Southern State, they
would bo cnitified to have his sido of
tho question apjicar before your read
ers. I judge that you will Io willing
to accord thin, as you admitted in the
article referred to that "there are al
ways two sides to every question."
THE TWO M EX.
Henry M. Dixon, the wait who was
killed, hits resided in Yazoo county
since tho war. During that time lie
has been a professional gambler. He
has killed, in jrivato dilliculties, a ne
gro and a white man .Mr. bajiiuel
Harrison; in political ailravs, a white
man Dick Mitchell, a Kojuiblican;
and lie wai tho leatlt-r ot a squad called
Dixon s Scouts, who are said to have
hung four or live negroes during the
riots of 18".". From one of these, Pat
tison, who had been a member of the
Legislature, he took SI, 500, with the
promise to send it to Patttsoti's sisters,
who reside in Ohio, but tho money was
never Kent. In l$iG the county treas
ury of Yazoo county was robbed of
$u0,000. This money Dixon and Lis
gang were believed by nearly every cit
izen of i azoo county to have taken.
No great efforts were ever mado to re
cover this money, or to discover who
the robbers were. Samuel Harrison, a
Democrat, undertook it, and charged
Dixon with being the robber; for doing
so Dixon killed him, without giving
him a chance for hU life. A picked
jury acquitted Dixon, and no other jier-
sou was willing to take the task ion
himself, as it was well understood that
to make the attempt was but to invite
assassination. It is not my purpose to
say more of the dead than necessary for
the defense of ll e living. The follow
ing extract from the proceedings of a
meeting of the citizens of Yazoo county
will show in what estimation Dixon
was held by Lis neighbors:
'To Bum up in brief onr estimate
and opinion of tho character of the
man Dixon, wo declare as our deliber
ate opinion that be is a murderer, a
gambler, a bully, a thief, a man of vio
lence, of blood, and of lie; a man who
ill pack juries; a low, unprincipled
demagogue iu politics and an infidel in
religion. He unites in himself every
juality required to make ban the un
tested monster that he is, and lie wants
every qualification that is necessary to
make him the gentleman which he is
not."
Jas. A. Barksdule, who you a is
the "bearer of a representative South
ern name,'' was born in Yazoo county,
and is about twenty-seven years of age.
He is a son of Hon. Harrison lhtrks-
dale, who died in the Confederate ser
vice, and a brother of the late General
Woi. Barksdule. He is one of the meat
popular young men in the county.never
was in any manner "wild, and never
before had a ditticulty of any kind. He
was recently nominated by the Demo
cratic patty for chancery clerk, the
most lucrative otiice in the county. As
such a nominee he entered the canvass,
and did not hesitate to express his
opinion on the stump that the Inde
tiendcnts, of which II. M. Dixon was
the head end front, should not be elect
ed to oflico.
THE CAUSE OF TIIE AFKUAY.
Owing to Harksdales Bpceches,Dixon
vowed vengeance. He took every oc
casion to denounce Barksdale in the
vilest language. He stated oienly,and
at all times, "that he (Dixon) had ls?en
seeking an opportunity to kill Jim
Barksdale, but that he (Barksdale) was
such a d d cowardly s ot a b
that he would never give him a chance.
IhiB remark: ot Dixon s, made upon
many different occasions, was constant
ly repeated to Hurksdale. I presume
no less than fifty persons Lave Leard
Dixon make it. Upon t lie trial it will
be proven that many iicrsona, citizens
of Yazoo C'tty,umi visitors to the place,
strangers to both men heard Dixon say
it, not only in private, but in public
crowds upon the streets of the town.
He was overheard by two prominent
gentlemen planning to assassinate Air.
Barksdale. The gentlemen gave their
names to the Democratic county execu
tive committee, and the fact was pub
lished in the local papers. Finding that
all this did not give him (Dixon) the
opiortunity he sought to kill Barks
dale, whom he had marked as the fourth
victim of his deadly pistol, he turned
the venom of his foul tongue upon
Barksdale's female relatives upon bis
widowed mother and sisters,than whom
no more lovely women live in the
South. Of them he said all that a man
lost to all sense of honor and self-re
spect could say. This will be proven
in the courts; and for this latter oilense,
and not for his remarks about or threats
against Barksdale himself, Dixon now
fills a bloody grave.
PARTICULARS OF TIIE "AFFRAY.
Thus matters stood upon the morn
ing of the 19th inst. Upon that day
Dixon was walking down the street,
armed as usual with a large army-sized
revolver, his lavonte weapon, upon
which he relied to "deal out" death to
Li3 enemies. Barksdale saw him, and
taking a double-barreled shot gun from
an adjoining store, walked out into the
middle of the street, and called out
"Dixon, Dixon, defend yourself." Dix
on heard and saw Barksdale, and ad
vaneod upon him, attempting as he ad
vancod to draw Lis pistol. It hung in
the scabbard. As Dixon advanced
Barksdalo cockod bis gun and raised it
to his shoulder. Dixon, finding that
his trusty wcaKn had failod him, and
that Le was about to meet the fate be
bad upon throe other occasions meted
out to others, started to run, when
Barksdale's gun ctacked, and be re
ceived the load just under the shoulder
blade. -Uiyon ran into an alley way
crying "murder," and partly up" a flight
of steps, where be halted and fired four
shots at Harksdale.who remained stand
ing in the middle of the street When
the smoke cleared away Barksdale fired
a second time, but the load went into
the door facing. Dixon full, and died
at 4 :30 o'clock that evening. Barks
dale surrendered to the sheriff and was
placed in jail. Two days sfter he was
admitted to jail by the Magistrate's
court iu the sum of f 15,000. . Tenons
charged with murder cannot be bailed
in this State; so they must bare graded
the ri ime, if crime it was, to man
slaitghter. The Circuit Court meeta in
December, when, if indicted, be will be
tried. His friends and those most dear
to him are satisfied at bis caurse, and
he would not hesitate to be tried by
any fair-minded jury, in Kentucky or
elsewhere.
1 am one of his friends, but I bave
tried to give a true and fair statement
of the "Yazoe affair."
THE MM Ml AX a BETTBXISa
ASAI.
t'uHnnave, one of the four returning
board villains of Ixuisiana,is in trouble.
and has gone to the man whom he fraud
ulently bellied to count in for assistance
in thia,bis Lour of need. It seems that
the attorneys whom the returnina board
employed to defend it from the criminal
suits that were brought against it for
fraud'and perjury, bare sued the board
for their pay, and that tbey bare recov
ered at law about jgS.OOO. Casanare,
who is a New Orleans undertaker, is
the only one of the quartette who has
any property that is comeatable, and
the lawyers hare levied on it, and were
about to sell bim out In bis dilemma
be flies to Washington to get bis
there to aid him. He ears that
pals
hen
the proceedings were begun Messrs.
Anderson and Wells, against whom the
prosecution was particularly and spe
cially directed, employed Sleaars. Cul
lom and Castillaoe, attorneys, to defend
them. 1 assented to it upon the assur
ance of Mr. Anderson, who showed me
a letter which be said was from Wash
ington, and, I supposed, written by
Secretary Sherman, to the effect that
the funds were to be sent to defray all
the expenses incurred in our defense.
Messrs. Cullom and Caatillane
charged 5,000 for their services,? 1,875
of which was Jid, leaving a balance of
$3,125, which amount Cssanave has
been trying to raise in Washington.
He first called on His Fraudulencr,
Mr. Hayes, who received bim cour
teously, but made no oiler to relieve
mn, i.nd advised him to see Anderson.
Gen. Sypiier, who accomttanied Caaa-
nave, suggested to Hayes that be eon
vey his wishes in this regard to Mr.
Anderson in authoritative form, which
would no doubt induce Anderson to pay.
I . r r . . . w -7
out i or vasanave to return to .Louisiana
with Hayes' verbal message would be
useless. 11 ayes took alarm at this sug
gestion and retreated behind the cabi
net which was about assembling,
Casanave next called upon Secretary
McUrary, who expressed much sympa
thy for him. Mac, like bis great name
sake, George Washington, of blessed
memory, couldn't tell a lie, and said,
Casanave, if 1 was able I would pay
this judgment myself, bus 1 am a poor
man and live entirely on my salary. It
should be paid at once." Casanave
says be grateful to the secretary for his
sympathy, but would bave preferred
substantial relief.
Poor Casanave next saw Sherman,
who tendered bim $100. This made
the Creole mad, and he flung the bill,
so to speak, in the great financiers face.
He then went out and began to threat
en, and the result was that the fraudu
lent administration among them raised
1,750. which sum has enabled Casa
nave to' stay the execution until Jan
uary 1, 18S0, between the present and
which time be expects the beneficiaries
of the fraud and perjury of himself and
his three associates will have concluded
it is the best thing they can do to pay
up the remaining amount If they
don't he will make some revelations
that will startle the honest members of
the Republican party and disgost them
with the criminality of their leaders
and the present fraudulent administra
tion particularly. Enough bas been
revealed already to convince unpreju
diced people that a more outrageous
fraud was never perpetrated than that
by which the returning board and "vis
iting statesmen" secured the electoral
vote of the State of Louisiana for
Hayes. -

It is nearly 200 years since William
III. of England, violating h's own
royal proclamation, sent a band of hii
soldiersof the Campbell clan and slaugh
tered all the inhabitants of the valley
of Glencoe, by the stream which Ossian
calls "the dark torrent of Cona." The
Macdonalds, to which clan those un
happy people belonged, have never for
gotten that "military execution," which
was really a wholesale murder : and to
this day the old resentful feeling crops
out, sometimes suddenly and in unex
pected places. The Halifax (N. 8.)

the Rev. Phillips Brooks, in a recent
discourse in New York, namely, that
tne law of evolution rules in uioril as

THE SlEZ CANAL.
At a recent meeting of the Suez
Canal Company some important sta
tistics of its working were given. It
appears that the receipts of the Com
pany and the tonnage of ships pass
ing through the canal showed inlSTS
for the first time since tho opening a
threatening diminution. In 1870
there passed through the canal 4S6
ships, representing a tonnage of 435,-
000, and the receipts wereU,159,&00r.;
in 1873 there were 1,173 ships with
a tonnage of 2,085,000, and the re
ceipts were 22,897,009f.; in 1S77
there were 1,663 ships, with a
tonnage of 3,418,000, andthe receipts
were 33,774,000f. But in 1878 the
number of ships declined to 1,593,
tonnage to 3,291,000, and tha re
ceipts to 31, 098,000 f. It may be
some consolation to learn that five-
sixths of the whole tonnage passing
through the canal is British The
diminution of the traffic is unequally
distriDUtej
English traffic haa fall-
en off by only 2 J per cent .German by
nearly 45 per cent, Danish by 5.1 per
cent, and Egyptian by 47 per cent.
On tbe other hand, the trade under
the French, Spanish, Portuguese,and
American flags ha9 slightly increased.
It Is to be noted that the falling off
in the receipts last year would have
been much more considerable but for
