No amount of righteous Indignation
can alter the fact that the electoral
votes of the Southern States will be
counted in the Presidential election
The Southern Presidential electors
will be chosen under the direction OF
the new State governments. By the
very act of voting (if they vote at all
Southern citizens will recognize those
governments. The question which
we have discussed is, at the bottom
and practically, whether the indignant
Southern whites will let their States

vigorous effort, seize and reverse the
enemy's guns . 80
We sincerely wish that the Southern
whites could vote for a Democratic
President and Democratic Congress
men without recognizing the negro
governments. But things have reached
a pass where that is impossible.
Whether those governments are valid
or not, they will have de .facto control
of the States. Democratic electors
can be chosen only through them.
Now, the question which we present
TO the Southern whites is, whether the
Democratic party shall start in the
Presidential race handicapped by the

UNIVERSITY OF MISSISSIPPI.
OXFORD, Miss, June 26th, 1856

DEAR CLARION: The Commence
ment Exercises of the University of
Mississippi, for the year 1868, have
drawn to close, and the students are
now calling at the residence Of their
beloved Chancellor, to bid him and
his esteemed lady farewell for sea-
sOn-some never more to return. AT
ter years of close application to the
text books, and after availing them
selves Of the great facilities abound
ing in this institution, for acquiring
thorough education, twenty four of
the students have received their we'll
deserved parchment as graduates"
and go forth to enter some of the va
rious professions of life. "God bless
you may you have useful and hap
Ply life!'' is the womanly, heartfelt
benediction that goes with the retiring
steps of the ''first honor" graduate,
who has just passed out from the Chan
cellor's parlor The moistened eye,
and the modest, b" l thank you,'' show
ed his appreciation of the blessing
On the title page of one of the hand
some programmes before me, it is
most beautifully expressed
There is no union here of hearts,
That hath not here an end"
And although it has been charged that
this quotation was intended as a
final and full salute to the bellies of
Oxford, from the graduating class
(Which / do not for a moment be-
lieve), yet still, even in that view, it's
truth may find an occasional lllustra-
ton. / have only this to say, how
ever, from what have seen, that in
any application of the sentiment to the
ladies of Oxford, Water Valley, Holly
Springs, and the other pretentious
towns of which the University is the
intellectual centre, the graduates can
not fail being the losers. For I'M
dertake to say, that the State Of Mis-
sissippi cannot afford more splendid
display of female beauty than was to
be witnessed in the College halls, and
at the reception rooms of the Chancel
lor this week.
Arriving late, | have to depend some
what on the notes of another for a
brief statement of the Commencement
Exercises.
On Sabbath, June Dist, the Rev.
DR.. Ford, of Memphis, preached the
Commencement Sermon in the Uni
versity Chapel, from the words, Their
works do follow them The same
gentleman preached again at night to
alarge congregation in the Methodist
Church, in Oxford, while the Rev. Mr..
Pettus, of Holly Springs, conducted
divine service. and preached in the
Episcopal Church, at the same hour.
1t has been the custom of the Faculty
to select, alternately, from the demon
nations, the minister TO preach the
Commencement Sermon, and agreeably
thereto, tue Baptist Church was, this
year, represented.

Saturday was gala day with us.
A grand Democratic barbecue in the
morning, and monster torch light pro-

principal features
To-day, the tug of war begins with
us. A mighty revolution of sentiment
has swept with resistless march over
the minds of the colored people of this
county. Fully one half of the color

ticket

done all that a. united people could do to

One of our Registrars who had charge of

noted Radical in this county, refusing to
allow it to be placed in vault here, after
the owner promised to deliver him the
key. He wants it out there where it might
be stuffed with impunity. Another Regis

ticket by PROXY. We are voting now and

The Game to be PIayed-.-Plan of
the Radicals to Sfifie the Voice of
the People.

The Pilot of yesterday, has the fol
lowing:
"In several counties of the State,
they have overdone the thing. They
would no doubt gladly take back their
action in Rankin, Simpson, Chickasaw,
Yalobusha, Carroll, Calhoun, DeSoto
and other counties, we might name.
The elections a0iU be declared utterly
void, and thrown out of the count by
the commanding general.
All this false clamor about Demo
cratic frauds, is the old dodge of "stop
thiefw The real truth is, that the
Radicals, finding themselves defeated,
"horse, foot and dragoon," by the
voice of the State, of both races, are
resolved to make the experiment of in
ducing the Commanding General to
throw out the votes of a sufficient
number of the great Democratic coun-
ties, to give sn apparent victory to
themselves. This foreshadows a gil
gantic swindle All this talk about
election frauds on the part of the Dem
ocratic party is mere bosh, and comes
from party who have themselves, at
the present election, cheated and
swindled voters, at nearly every pre-
cinct in the State.
Can the scheme of the discounted
enemy be made available? We think
not. We have too much respect for,
and confidence in the intelligent gen
tleman who commands the District, to
suppose, for moment, that he will
lend his nameto such nefarious and
patent trick of fraud and corruption.
Certain it is. that Injustice be done and
the Voice of the People regarded, Gen.
Mcdowell will not countenance the
foul scheme foreshadowedi in the above
extract. The commanding General,
we feel sure, will spurn it, with indig-
nation, and proclaim that the popular
voice, fairly expressed, must govern
the State 20

The revised lists Of registration

The revised lists of registration
show that there are 1868 voters in the.
county. OF this number 813 are.
whites, and 1850 are blacks. Colored
majority, 237. The vote at the nine
different precincts gives total Demo
cratic majority of 1853. Whole num-
Der votes polled 1923. The number
of colored votes polied is 569. Of
this number $50 were Democratic and
230 Radical Democratic majority
of the colored vote 81. These figures
are not official, but may be relied on as
substantially correct.
There were 70.white, and 4S1 color
ed registered voters who failed to
vote. k-
Streets % majority over Gibbs
Or. } is $40.
Poindexters Cd. } majority over Lott
(R) is 855.
The returns from Wilkinson are not all in,
and the result of the vote for Senator is
doubtful with alstrong probability of Streets
election. The result shows tremendous
Democratic gains in the counties composing
the I'd Senatorial District. The Radical
majority has been reduced from 1874 to III
or overcome, and majority secured Tor the
Democracy of 1853.
Amite has nobly discharged her duty, and
she has redeemed the pledge she made in
the outset, that she would give good &C
count of herself when the contest was oven.
Look at her record and say that it is not
fair. Her people have deserved we'll of the
country, and the credit to which they are
entitled is due no less to colored men than
to white Many Of the prominent and in
! fuential among them worked with a zeal
and an energy worthy of the cause to the
triumph of which they have contributed SC
much.

msnent should be at all times discounfe-
nanced, as involving taxation too heavy to
be borne, and payment of an amount in IN
terest every sixteen years equal TO the orr
ginal sum. The gradual liquidation of the
public debt would by degrees release the
large capital invested in the securities of
the Government, which, seeking remunera-
ton in other sources Of income, would add
to the wealth Of the nation, upon which it
is now SO great drain. This immense debt,
if permitted to become permanent and in
creasing, must eventually be gathered into
the hands of the few, and enable them to
exert dangerous and controlling power in
the affairs of the Government. The debtors
would become the servants Of the lenders,
the creditors the masters of the people. tits
now our boast that We have given freedomto
three million of slaves. it will then be our
shame that by their own liberation of usur-
patton and profigacy forty millions Of peo-
Die have enslaved themselves, and ex-
changed Shareholders for new taskmasters
in the shape Of bondholders and tax-gather-
ers. Hence the vital issue whether Con-
gress and its arbitrary assumptions of au-
thority shall supersede the supreme law of
the land-whether in time of peace the
country shall be controlled by multitude
of tax-collectors and a standing army-she
one almost as numerous rs the other, and
making the debt permanent burden upon
the productive industry of the people; or
whether the Constitution, with each and
all of its guarantees, shall be sacredly pre-
seryed-whether now, as in 1879 and 1916,
provision shall be made for the payment Of
our obligations at as early period as prac-
ticable, that the fruits of their labors may
be enjoyed by our citizens, rather than
used to build up and sustain a moneyed
monopoly at home and abroad. The con-
test is not merely who shall occupy
the principal Offices in the peoples gift, but
whether the high behests of the Federal
Constitution shall be observed and main
tanned, in order that our liberties may be
preserved the union Of the States restored,
that our Federal system may be unim-
paired fraternal feeling reestablished, that
our national strength may be renewed; the
expenditures diminished, that taxation may
be lightened; and the public debt once
more extinguished, that it may not injuri-
ously affect the life and energy, the pros
perity and morals, of the nation.
Believing that for the redress of the great
wrongs and the correction of the many
abuses under which the country ia now
laboring we must look to the American peo-
pie, and that in them is our hope,
l am, very truly, your friend,
: ar ANDREW JOHNSON.
