There are some people who are OPP
posed to Radical rule, with all it's un-
describable horrors, that will not lend
their efforts to prevent it on the ground
that it is inevitable This is not true.
No effort has yet been made by the
Conservatives to carry the State Their
first attempt is to be made in the ap-
preaching election which they can car
ry if they will use proper efforts.
There is no official report showing
that the freedmen Rave a registered
majority in the State; and if they
have, there is no reason to believe
that considerable number of them
will not vote with the Conservatives
against the proposed Constitution, if
proper means are taken to instruct
them in reference to its odious fea-
lures.

That the members of the Leagues drill

1t will be borne in mind by the con-
sentative candidates for the Legisla-
ture that they have been nominated to
serve only in the event of the ratifica-
ton of the proposed Mongrel Constr
tuition. If they cannot qualify under
that instrument, their candidacy is
worse than useless. Their election
will amount to nothing practical, and
they would run to the exclusion of
persons who would be useful. Re

stituton, no man is eligible who can
not make oath that he gave no "yol-
untary aid, counsel, countenance or
encouragement" to persons engaged
in hostility to the .. S. government,
except he be private soldier who did
net vote for, nor sign the secession
ordinance of 1861. This oath, how

ions, or Presidential, or Providential

refused to register, but who have
since learned that they who ''would
be free, themselves must strike the
blow" Nor have we taken into the
estimate the large number of colored
voters who have become sick and
weary of the broken promises which
the vagabond carpet baggers and des-
perate scallawags have held before
their eyes in order to lead them to
their ruin.
These statistics from official reports
are presented in the conviction that
they approximate the strength of par
ties in this State. They are full of
encouragement to the friends of Con-
stitutional freedom; but it must be
known that their strength if not put
forth will be wholly useless. Better
not have it, than that the disgrace
should attach to intelligent freemen
that they could have rescued their
imperiled rights from the jaws of
destruction and neglected to do it..
We have demonstrated that victory is
wit in our grasp if we will but reach
forth our hands to seize it. Now
and henceforth, every man to his post !!
No man will acquit himself of his duty
if he does not vote himself and bring
one recruit, or more; with him to the

could not take the iron-clad oath, that they
had never given voluntary aid to the rebellion;
a such candidates cannot quality, if elected

The Loyal Leagues, n Criminal
COnspirayc.

Freeman, demonstrating that the 10y
al League is a combination, subjecting
those concerned in it, by the law Of
this State, and by the common law, to
prosecution and to punishment, ii
found guilty of the acts committed by
tie parties, we publish to-day a con-
elusive article on the same subject
over the signature of Revised Code"
1t is assumed that these combina-
tons are oath bound, and require of
persons who are enticed into them, to
vote according to their behests by
promise of reward, or fear of punish
ment. In proof of the system of ter
ror exercised over the minds of the
credulous freedmen, it is known that
they are made to believe that they
must vote in particular way, or they
will be punished for perjury. Our
correspondent from Brandon, pub,
fishes that Cyrus Myers, negro mem
Der of the Mopgrel Convention, mott
fed the members of a Colored Con
vention, at that place, that they were
acting under oath.
1t is further known, that the League
is not only an oath bound, but an
ARMED combination. OF this fact,
evidence has been afforded to
our own citizens by members
of the League marching with arms, and
in military order, to their places of
meeting. The testimony of the
Washington Chronicle, the leading
organ of the Leagners, is direct and
conclusive on this point. Speaking by
authority, it testifes that they are
ready to carry the election, with. the
'sballot or THE BAYONET."
The law Of our State, making the
acts of which these conspirators are
guilty, punishable by imprisonment in
the Penitentiary, was passed in 1857,
to protect the purify of the ballot box,
and not by so-called 'rebels'' in order
to prosecute freedmen" At that
time, no negro in Mississippi, wheth-
er bond or free, was entitled to a vote.
1t is still operative, not having been
suspended, by military authority
Moreover, it accords with The pro-
fessed policy of Congress, as demon
strated by our correspondent, which, i'm
order to protect the freedom of cleo
tons, has stationed military force
within the limits OF the State. We in
vte the attention of our citizens to the
unlawful character of these conspira-
cies. Let this be made clear to the
understanding of freedmen who have
been persuaded to become parties to
the crimes in ignorance of the fact,
and without knowledge of the penal
ties that legally attach to their offences.
Will the military authorities who are
charged with the execution of the laws,
and the policy of the government,per-
nit these secret, oath bound associa-
tions, by the eXpedients of fraud and
terror which they practice, to continue
their interference with the free exer-
else of opinion and of will in the cleo
tious?

ENCOURAGING Statistics.

Some people have despaired of car
rying the election, simply upon vague
impression that the negroes have
large majority of the registered vote
of the State. which will be welded at
their will by the carpet baggers. There
is no foundation for this dependency.
In the first place, it has been amply
demonstrated that where proper steps
have been taken to inform the negroes
of the true character of the proposed
Constitution, and the persons who
framed it, and their objects, large &C
cessions have been made to the Con-
sentative party from that class. We
undertake to say that nine out of
every ten of the twenty five thousand
white persons in this State, who have
negroes in their employment, by
explaining to them frankly the real
character of the issues presented, and
the consequences which must flow to
them, SIS we'll as to the whites, if they
vote ''for the Constitution" can in
duce at least a portion of them either
to refrain from voting or to cast their
votes against it. This is a duty to
the negro himself, as we'll as to our
selves, which must not be neglected.
But look to the statistics of the last
election, and take comfort. The reg
istered vote Of Mississippi last fall, as
officially published by Gen. Ord, was
1882 OF this number 50, 739 voted
for the Convention; and of these votes
say five thousand were cast by Con-
servatiyes, who were willing to recon
truct the State, if the Congressional
plan had been carried out in good
faith by the Convention, but who are.
now opposing the ratification of the
Constitution because that body, by
its extravagant expenditures, its mon
strous schemes of taxation, its stand
ing army projects, its social equality
denominations, contrary to the law Of
Congress not only continued the disa-
bilities which were imposed in the
Convention elections upon the privil-
eye of suffrage enjoyed by the whites,
but increased them immensely so as to
place in all future elections the entire
control of the State government into
the hands of the negro voters
Take this estimated vote of 5000 from
the 69,739 votes, which were cast for

left to be cast for the Constitution.
