MAN KILLED. A man named Wash Arnold was killed at Brown's Mills, 14 miles from Dawson in Calhoun County, on the 8th instant, by Mr. Hollis the present proprietor of the Mills. The facts in the case are about as follows: Arnold had gone to the mill, at 11 o'clock at night, for the purpose of borrowing a gun. He was accompanied by a friend. He learned that Hollis was guarding the mill, and said to his friend that he would scare him. He called at the door. Hollis opened it, and immediately Arnold brushed him in the face with his hat, whereupon Hollis fired, the ball penetrating Arnold's heart. The parties were very friendly before the killing. No blame attaches to Mr. Hollis. Friday, September 21, 1866. WOMEN'S RIGHTS AND NEGRO SUFFRAGE. Mr. Theredore Tilton has undertaken the task of overcoming the white man's instinctive prejudice against negro equality and miscegenation; and Miss Anna Dickinson pleads for negro suffrage with a distinct understanding that she appears "in behalf of the great unrepresented class of white women." What is this but an emphatic hint that after negro suffrage is to come women's suffrage? The universal rights doctrine knows no limit. If black men can vote because they walk on two legs, shall not the same privilege be conferred on white women? And if on white women, why not on black also? The general opinion perhaps would place the women first. Miss Dickinson reveals the agnanimity and modesty of her nature, when she gives precedence to the negro.
