On the whole, we are gratified that
the carpet bag Generals of the League
here, sent out their military expedi-
ton to Brandon under the lead of
Gen. Rolla. Much good was effected,
to say nothing of the clear gain of
fifty Democratic votes, which their
presumptuous attempt to intermeddle
with other peoples business, accom-
plished. At the close of the box in
Brandon, yesterday, the vote stood
541 Democratic and % Radical
Rolla and his band had their eyes
opened They can now bear witness
that the freedmen of Rankin, of their
own accord, and with great enthusi-
asm, voted the Democratic ticket.
They can bear witness that these votes
were cast under the eye of the military
authorities, who were on the ground,
to keep the peace and to protect every
man in the enjoyment of his privilege
to vote precisely as he pleased. They
can bear witness that the statements
of violence, threats, intimidation and
all that, employed in Rankin county,
to induce the colored citizens to vote
the Democratic ticket, were all inven-
tions of the carpet bag spoilsmen.
Now. we are not disposed to indulge
harsh language towards Rolla, or any
Of his deluded followers. They went
upon fools errand at the suggestion
Of mean whites who had not the cou-
rage to 60 with them. The best adj
vice we can give them is to repent
their folly, and vote the Democratic
ticket

THE ELECTIONS.

The election news, good, bad and
Indifferent, is published just as it is
sent to us. Weplace entire confidence
in these reports, for the reason that,
in accordance with the request Of the
Democratic Executive Committee, the
Democrats-whitea and colored--have
voted open tickets; and they have
been correctly recorded by the Com
mittees. If any of the Carpet bag
gentry, who, for the last five months
have been filling their pockets with
greenbacks, III the fabrication of the
wretched thing they have styled "Con-
stitution,' are disposed to back their
judgments, we are authorized to inform
them that, by applying at THE CLARION
Office, they can be accommodated
with a bet Of Ten THOUSAND Dol
LARS that it has been defeated.

The United States Senate.

Mr.. PowelI-Mr President. The day
after the resolution was introduced, /
understood from General Halleck, that
the matter had been laid before the
President, and that the order had been
promptly revoked. The conduct of
the President and COMMANDMENTS Chief
in thus promptly countermanding such

inhuman order, meets with my hearty
approval. commend them for it.
The order having been countermand-

of the resolution be stricken out and
after that is stricken out, / desire to
have the action of the Senate upon the

action upon it. That seems to be the
intimation of the gentleman from New
Hampshire. l look upon the matter
otherwise. have in my possession
documents to establish the fact beyond
the possibility of doubt that the
Jews, residents of the city of Padu-

In number, were driven from their
homes and their business by virtue
of this order of Gen. Grant, only hay

nation of General Antftesty.


We learn, says the Frankfort (Ky.)
Yeoman, from a source In Washing
ton, entitled to credence, that the Pre-
sldent has prepared and will, before
many days, issue proclamation of
general amnesty, removing all the dis
abilities growing out Of a participa-
ton in the late war. 1t is said that its
publication will probably take place
on the 4th of July. This indeed would
be most signal and appreciative man
ner in which to commemorate the an
niversary of that day upon which the
independence and freedom of the
American people was first declared
1t would be a second conservation,
which would make it doubly dear to
the many who now need such emanci-
patton in order to enable them to real
ize fully the blessings of the first.

Old EgglesfOn Opposed to Negro
Suffrage i'm Ohio.

The Columbus Index makes the
following sketch of speech in that
place by Hon. J. T. HARRISON, in
which among allegations, he charges
that Old Eggleston, the Radical can
didate for Governor under the pro-
posed Constitution which the people
are laundering their verdict against
voted against allowing negroes to vote
in Ohio. Mr.. Harrison is not the man
TO make a charge without proof; and
in this instance it is made and pub
lished in the county which Eggleston
claimed to represent in the Menagerie.
In order that the freedmen may I'M
derstand the hypocrisy and double
dealing of the mean whites who have
assumed to be their leaders, we repro
duce the charge of Mr.. Harrison as
follows:
Mr. Harrison took for the body of
his speech the proposed constitution
and Gen. B. B. Eggleston. Since the
beginning of the canvass, there has
not been delivered speech of more
powerful argument and more wither-
ing, blistering sarcasm. 1t is not too
much to say that the infamous consti-
tuition proposed as the guide of decent
white men was laid bare in all its de-
formity, and as for old Eggleston
himself-he was completely skinned
He was shown to be mercenary adj
venturer, as a candidate one afraid to
meet honorable opponents fairly in pub
lie debate, as a Radical, one aoho voted
against negso suffrage at has home IN
Ohio, but whose self-interest forces
him to advocate it in Mississippi, and
as a man without education, refine
ment, capacity or common honor.

On further and full reflection upon
the subject of my accepting the miss

fully to beg to be excused from the
duty you proposed. 1t is a diplomat

be so much better performed by others.
