received, stand some l., 600 against the propo.

Our esteemed neighbor, Sanford HARDWOOD,
Esq, is constructing sugar mill for the pur-
pose of manufacturing sugar from the Chinese
Sugar Cane. There is large amount of the
sugar cane growing in Floyd County, and if
Mr.. Harwood builds good mill there is no
doubt he will have all the business he can do
in the way of manufacturing sugar. Sugars
are now on the rise, and they will continue to
rise for some time to come. 1t is therefore
fortunate that our farmers have SO largely en-
tered into the business Of growing the cane
and manufacturing their own syrup and SUI.

Republican District Nominations.

The Republican District Convention assem-
bled at West Union, agreeably to notice, and
Us the result of their deliberations we an
nouncc Judge WILLIAMS of Clayton County,
as the nominee of the Convention for Judge
of the 10th Judicial District Mno McGIATH-
cry, of West Union, for District Attorney ;
and A. b. +. HILDRETH. of the St Charles
City Eiteilgencer, for Member of the State
Board of Education
With Judge Williams we have no acquain-
lance, but from what we can learn from those
best acquainted with him, we believe him to
be man well qualified for the station, being
one of the best read lawyers of the district
having had experience in the duties dcvolving
upon the Office Of Judge and, besides this
Judge Williams is the most available man the
Republican Party could bring forward at this
time He comes before the people without
exciting in any manner the local feelings of
those counties which are so badly mixed up
in county seat questions never, so far as we
for either party in any Of the counties where
the question of county seat has been raised.
Therefore Williams will come before the peo
pie without knowing their local difficulties,
and consequently not sympathising with any
party or faction, and no party or faction can
charge him with having been partial or impair
tial We believe that Judge Williams will
command one-half more Republican votes in
Chickasaw county at this time and under the
circumstances now existing in this county
than Judge Murdoch could have done, had he
been nominated and come before the people
for their votes. Therefore we opposed the
nomination of Judge Murdoch, and believed
as we do now, that between Murdoch and Nc
Clintock, the Republicans of this county
would have swelled the Democratic vote to
more than four hundred votes. by attaching
more importance to man not connected with
our local affairs than to party politics in a
candidate for Judge.
With Mr. McGlathery we have had a short
acquaintance, and have found him to he first
rate fellow, good lawyer, and clnncntly pre-
pared by legal knowledge and skill to Gil the
station for which he is nominated. He is a
good advocate, and has one Of the largest L.
braries, including criminal and civil practice,
of any attorney west Of the Mississippi.
OF Mr.. Hildreth, we need not say word.
He is known far and near as the editor of the
st. Charles Intelligencer, and throughout this
district as a talented educational man. We
know of no objection that can be urged against
the election of either Of these candidates. and
are confident that the voters of this district
will attend to their duty, and poll heavy
majority for each candidate on the twelfth day
of October next r
