The lates t phase of the " Mississippi plan" is described in tile Times1 dis­ patches from Yicksburg. Failing to earry the election of Chalmers, the original inventor and patentee of the "Mississippi plan" in the "shoestring district," the Democrats of that district have resorted to a scheme wliich rivals the tissue ballots for infamy. It seems that the Mississippi Legislature, at its last session, passed a law which provides that at the polls " any ticket with any device or mark by which it may be dis­ tinguished from another shall not be re- oeived or counted." This law was evi­ dently adopted to facilitate the particu­ lar scheme which the shoestring-district Democrats have put in force. The Vieksburg district, as well as others in Mississippi, lias an overwhelming black majority, and, as the shotgun might not be always efficacious, it was I deemed desirable to have some other means of holding the blacks in check.

In the spring and summer the -demand for farm hands was greatly in •excess of the supply, and all through the year there have been applications for help in nearly every kind of Ameri­ can industry. Emigrants have been «ent to flax and woolen mills, to iron­ works and mines of all kinds. THE latest thing in dances is called the " raquet," and is neither a waltz nor a polka, though the best parts of both ore preserved. The music strikes up with a crash, as though a new volcano had broken out", and the girl will cling tightly, as though frightened, if she un­ derstands the dance, and the young man will reassure her by a gentle press­ ure, if he understands the dance or knows anything at all. At the second erasli they dodge, as though some one had thrown a blacksmith shop at them, and they start in.

There was an air of mystery about the oflice which no man not in the secret could fathom. The only certainty is that Samuel S. Morey has seriously implicated certain prominent Democrats of this city, and that indictments have already been drawn against these men. Who they are will not be known until they have been arrested, which will probably be very soon. I may state, in this connection, what but very few people are aware of--and they are officials directly connected with the polling places on the morning of the election. The Republicans had com­ plied •with the law.

JOHN POPE HENNESSEY who is «aid to be the original of Anthony Trol- lope's Phineas Finn, is making, a vigor, oils effort to suppress slavery in Hong Kong. Through his exertions two Chi­ namen, who made efforts to sell a woman, were brought before the Chief Justice jrecently and sentenced to two years' im­ prisonment wi£h hard labor, and two •others who were trying to sell Ave boys were sentenced to seven years' imprison­ ment. Gov. Hennessey has much to •contend with in his crusade against slavery, as many of the English resi­ dents are interested in the trade, and thwart him by every means in their power. Up to the present, however, he has been aggressive and successful. THE FAMILY PHYSICIAN. question. The District Attorney furnishes the press the confessions of Morey and O'Brien (alias Lindsey) so far as can be made public without interfering with the cause of justice. The Times last night furnished the Western press the substance of the confessions, b it the details in some particulars nre of great interest, and are us follows : Morey, after stating that Clark and Sanborn, of Lawrence, Mass., induced him to go to New York and testify, pr»m- iii "Docs this man (Walton) understand my name is not Lindsey ?" He said " Yes."' He told me to get a man to answer to the name of Lindsey. So. when we got up there, he introduced me as Lindsey. Walton said: "Do vou understand what you are i?oi:ig to get?" i said: "This man saya I am going to receive $10(1." He said: " Y»s, yon are." I said: " All right." So, when he came out with the ticket, he said: " Here is your ticket to New York and 810. I could not get a round-trip ticket, but that is to printer puts heneatli a headline as a matter of course. Such a mark can hardly be called a "device," and the absence of the dashes on the Democratic ticket, which was secretly contrived to make a difference between the two party tickets, was really nearer constituting a "distinguishing mark " than the other. Such dashes serve merely the purposes of punctuation, and no printer would have made a ticket without them except on a special order. This outrage may be effectual as far as the local offices in Mississippi are concerned, and is to this extent an abridgment of the rights of the citizens there who voted the Republican ticket, but it will hardly avail to keep Mr. Lynch out of Congress. He will, of course, contest the election, and with a certainty of success, the majority of the next House being Republican.--Chicago Times. • ing been presented, are supposed to lie j lost.

I went to the Truth office several times, and had an iii- terview with Josh Hart and another man connected with the paper, whose name I do not know. We arrived (Clark and I) the Saturday before election. On Sunday morning we went down to the Democratic headquarters first, and found nobody there but sortie women cleaning up. We went then and got some l reakfast. We came back and they kept us tlit re. I met a man by the name of Moore first, aiH thenanumbr-rof them--headquarters men. I did not see Bariimn. He had returned to Connecticut the evening previous. There was another short man there. I cimld tell his name if I heard it. Mr. Moore was Sergeant-at-Anns of the Democratic Committee there, they said. I saw what I supposed was the Secretary, the man tliat wrote and gave us the cheek "when we returned. He gave me a check for $150, 860 for expenses for Clark, and $100 he was to give to me when he got the cheek cashed. The f 100 was for coming 0111 sup)>ose. He didn't say what it was for. I got the $100. When I returned to Lawrence I got it. That Sunday he got a carriage and took us to Central Park. From there we went down to Staten island on the ferrvloat. We stopped down there until 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and went up to St. Vincent's Hotel. I think up in the park. We got supper there and returned to Democrate headquarters iiud storied there id! night. Thev said in the morning that "the boys couldn't let u-< ont of their sight." They were afraid lit­ tle Davenport would get hold of us. The next morning we got breakfast and went to the Trt.th office, and from there to the Court House. Hart wanted to know about this Morev, and I told hnn the same as 1 have already testi­ fied to. I had one interview with Hart at the Democrati" headquarters, Sunday, ill reference, to H. L. Morey. (Mark told ma Sanborn asked v him to get me to go to New York. The first time I went to the Truth office Hart showed me so that I could see it and study it. Coming on I asked him if there was any trial about this affair. He said: "No, none at all.'" Then I Baid : '*1 can't be hurt much. I will go." Whi n we arrived here we stopped at some I offidK I think the Titnes or TrUr'n-'. first. We j went in a cab, and went froiii there to the | Truth office. There I was intr<iduced as Lind- j sty. I saw there Mr. Hart, Mr. Post, and a ! man by the name of Byrne. Walton then | walked out. and he and Hart had some prifate conversation, When Hart came in and said j '• Walton has told me all about it. I under- i stand it." When we were leaving Cumberland Uirming- ham held out his hand and said to me : "Good- by, Harry," and looked up into Waltonfa face as much a* to say : " I know all nbout it." Coming on the" train 1 tuid to Walton : " Who is going to pay von thin money V" He said, "The Truth will pay you through me." So, after we arrived there, thev examined me. •' Who examined yon V" First, Post. Tliis" Birmingham told me to make up a story ulxftit the Workingmen's Union. Said he : '• That is what yon represent, and tliat is all you have got to do." Aud when I got on the stand I told th m about the mines. After that I went to itupper. Before I went to supper Hart said : " Have you got any change?" I said,."No." He said: "Here, you had better take this." and he gave me $10. He first offered me *5. The next day bting Sunday, I said I wanted to get a clean shirt, and then he gave me $10. We went to supper, and a man went with me. They call him "Box." His name is Ellen. We went with hiin to supper, and he never left me while I have beeu here. He slept with me, and never let me go out of Ins sight. When we came from supper, Hart said to "Box:" "You had l etter take him to Tony Pastor's Theater." He told some man there to write a letter. Who the man was 1 don't know. I have only seen him once, and that letter was given to " Box." and we went to Tony Pastor's, ana he offered it there at the theater. We received Address of the Republican National Committee.

If the Repub­ licans of the South li "I l»»en permitted to vote as they wished, and have their votes counted as they were cast, at least six of these States would have recorded majorities ranging from 5,000 to 40,000 for our ticket. The majorities, therefore, claimed by our adversaries in most of the Southern States wo regard un­ worthy of consideration. We have carried the Legislature of every Northern State, except Nevada, where a straight-out Democrat will be divisions which have heretofore existed among us may be forever healed, in order that we may, with united hearts, fulfill our common destiny.

" Then let me go first. Keep him here twenty minutes. Let me get where I can't see him when he comes out, or I won't be responsible for the earthquake. I won't be liable for obliterating the town. If you're a patriot, Jedge, you'd better hold him back for half an hour." "You won't touch him," said the Judge to the defendant. " Don't trust him, Jedge," interrupted the complainant.

When we arrived home Clark got the check can lied at the bank and gave me $100.

I told him X,wouldjhk« it vert much, and he said : " Well, we won't say anything about that now until this is over." I never lived in Cumberland, and do not know William H. Thompson.

" Walton told me to make up one of my own, and they got me a paper in Cumberland to study tills letter what was published, and told me to make it up, and Birmingham told me to say that.
