Late Election In Carroll County.


Walden, MISS, July 3rd, 1868.
Editors Clarion: Permit me to say
in few words, through your columns,
in regard TO the late election in Car
r)n county. 1t is current report
here, that an x-Yankee Major and
T syal League Carpet-Bagger, named
Thos. L. White, en overseer on a
plantation near this place, and late
Radical candidate for the Legislature,
from this county, is in Jackson, en-
deavoring to have our county election
set aside, by disappearing the
manner in which it was conducted.
The said E. Y NJ and L. L. G. 3.
white said while the voting was
going on, eve will have new cleo
tion," and the same night he left for
jackson, and has been absent during
the entire election in the county
thereby, neglecting the interests of
himself and his party, unless he has
accomplished more in Jackson, than
he would have done here. The voters
of this county are perfectly willing to
hold new election, as they are very
confident that the Radicals would meet
with worse defeat than before, and
they have no idea that White is big
enough toad even inthe Radical puddle
to accomplish anything of thel<ind but
we will not quietly allow ourselves to
be m1srepresented by such statments
as we understand White has made,
viz: THAT the colored voters were
threatened and inundated by Demo
Gratis; and thereby prevented, either
from voting at all, or from voting as
they. desired. That it was dangerous
for any one, except Democrats, to
speak here That the election was
unfair or fraudulent That arrests
would have been made had the militia
nv force been sufficient &C., dc.
We denounce all such statements as
willfully false, and wish to say fur
ther, that the writer has attended cleo
tons from Maine to Minnesota, and
from Minnesota to Louisiana, and cleo
tionered at many boxes (never as
candidate and will state, on oath if
desired, that he has never seen or at
tended an election of any Importance,
where there was less threatening or,
intimidating ofvoters, more liberty of
speech allowed, more leniency and
less ill-feeling shown, than by the
Democrats at Walden, Winona, Carroll
ton and other boxes visited by him :"
also, s'that he has never attended an
election where there was so much
threatening and intimidating done, as
by the Radical emissaries at the late
election at Walden, where the colored
voters were told by them '.that unless
they voted the Radical ticket, they
would be sent to work government
plantations" ''That if they voted the
Democratic ticket they would be put
into slavery again." DC. &c. White
also told them s'that their late masters,
now Democrats, passed law in 1865,
which would bind out to service, the
children of freedmen, forever and eger,
and made other statements so false
a. to be insulting to the intelligence of
an audience of freedmen even, and
which would have justified any audi
ence in treating him as anything but a

gentleman, or even inrhooting and his
sing him down, but he was not molestA
ed in any way, unless the denial of his
false statements and the exposure of
his deception and fraud in counterft-
ing the Democratic ticket, to deceive
ignorant freedmen, molested him and
he finally left the polls without being
i'll treated in any way, unless the
laughter and jeers of the freedmen as
he ingloriously sneaked away, was i'll
treating him.
In conclusion, we defy Mr. White,
the Loyal League, and the whole Rad
ical party, to control (by any fair
means) in this county, the very pow
er they supposed they were creatir g
for their own vile purposes, and t, e
freedmen of Carroll county defy the
world to swerve them from their prin-
ciples, their interests, and their true
friends, their late masters.

The Jackson Railroad has at last per-
footed an arrangement which must
commend itself to every merchant and
business man in New Orleans
Through rates of freight have been
established between this city, New
York, Boston, Philadelphia, and all
points North and East No insurance
is required, and through bills of Ia
ding are signed and the rates are guar
anteed. Some time ago the Jackson
road entered upon this enterprise, and
we are informed that several merchants
who have patronized it, are ready to
bear their testimony to its efficiency.
At length the plans have all been tried
and proved, and the enterprising gen
tlemen who are at the head of this
road, offer these great facilities to the
public. 1t is an undertaking that
should be fostered, and we bespeak fo1
it liberal patronage.-N. O. Times

Rev. Barns Sears, D, D., agent of
Peabody Educational Fund, in an adj
dress in Boston, on Monday evening,
gave the result Of his observations in
the South. He thought that both sec
tons of the country misunderstood
and misinterpreted each other; that
the work of politicians, both in the
North and in the South, is pernicious,
and that what the Southern States
really need is the hearty cooperation
of the business men of the North to
afford them capital to vitalize their en-
ergies. The Southern men look with
distrust to the military and to those
connected with the bureau; but men
from the North, with average ciyility
and good sense, are cordially received
among them. AS To the matter of ne
gro suffrage, the white population, as
rule, are opposed to it-atl least to
universal suffrage. He thought, how
ever, they would willingly agree to
some method of impartial suffrage
which would work advantageously for
both races
