Our Duty.

During the hours of election tomorrow
the yardstick should lie quiet on the
counter, and the pillow rest in the furrow.
We ask no man to neglect his business,
but that every man should attend to his
most important business first. Negroes
from the country are crowding in to vote.
That is not their occupation in Missis-
sippi, just now, where there is no cleo
ton. They have no lawful right to vote
here. All Democrats should watch them
yigilantIy and see that none Of them
vote. Colored Democrats will be very
efficient ia detecting such imposition OF
foreign, unqualified votes, if they will.
And all our citizens should make It their
business, first, last aud most important
all the dsy to-morrew, to prevent fraudu'
lent practices as much as possible, and
at the same time see to It that every le-
gal voter exercise bis right in peace and
quiet. Let there be no strife, perfect
order and fairness, aud the Law enforced
and observed by the proper challenges
and by all meaus necessary. A sufi-
cient number Of ehallengers should be
provided and protected. We are pleased
to see that Mr., Beaumont, Sheriff Curry
and the military propose to act jointly
aud efficiently. And we fervsntly hope
we may have an election at once fair and
