A HEAVY TEAM-W onder how the
negroes relish the idea of A. j. Jamison
the man who confesses to the attempt
to smuggle free negroes from Canada
into slavery in Mississippi, being pre-
sented to them as their Lieutenant
Governor. He is a devoted lover of
your race, boys, is he not? But he
knows how to use you, and you'll be
silly enough to let him. He tried to
get rich by selling your free brethren
into slavery and now, he seeks to en-
large his ill-gained fortune by indu-
cling you to place him into lucrative
office, and he can humbug you into
doing it.
How do you like your new-found
friend, Flournoy, of Pontotoc?. He
put iron collars and chains on your
brethren, during the war, when all
other Southerners were kind to them,
and sent them to Georgia, to be sold
among strangers but Flournoy wants
to be Senator now, and he feels sure
of winning, for he thinks the negroes
are humbugged into befriending him,
and we believe they are.-Aberdeen

Mr.. Editor 1T was announced that there
would be Radical meeting at Spring Hill
near Stems Creek, last Saturday. and that
speakers would be in attendance to address
the people The church is John Brinson's
stamping ground" where he possesses great
influence over his colored friends. 1t was
thought proper, and in accordance with the
determination of the Democracy of this
county to meet the Radicals on every stump,
for the Chairman of the Executive Commit
tee of the Democratic party of Rankin, to
select speakers to meet them. Accordingly,
Col. W. B. Shelby and Capt. McCaskiH (the
nominee Of the Democracy for Secretary OF
State) were appointed to go down and par
uicipate in the discussion.
Although, it had been confidently stated
that the negroes were going there armed,
evertheless these gentlemen went down
determined to do their duty to their country.
When they arrived there, they found that
the negroes were not armed, but on the con-
trary showed every respect for our speakers
and were kindly disposed. They did not
hesitate to divide time, and were anxious
to hear our side
Col. Shelby opened the discussion in a
speech of great force aad power. which was
frequently and loudly applauded by the
negroes. He proposed to deal fairly and
candidly with them, and laid before them
in plain and candid manner the true con-
dition of affairs If such speeches could be
made all over the Stale to the negroes, there
would be but little fear of carpet-bag dOmi-
nation.
RolIa Williams (negro) followed His
speech was as good as could have been ex-
pected. He reiterated the few points his
yankee friends had put in his mouth. He
took pains to say the negroes are not indebt-
ed TO the Yankees for freedom, but are alone
indebted to the Almighty.
Capt. McCaskill then made speech which
was listened to with attention, and in which
he made strong points against the adoption
of the constitution.
j. r. Parsons, a poor miserable looking
scalawag, essayed to raise his feeble voice in
advocacy of the Radical party. He CON-
manded but little respect attention from
any one He was said to be one of the can
didates for Representatives of HinGs on the
negro ticket
E. HI. Reber, Esq. one of the candidates
for Representative of Rankin, then briefly
announced himself as a candidate and made
a few remarks that were well received.
Norris. a negro and candidate for Repre-
sentative of Kinds, with Parsons, then made
u harangue in which he said nothing new
or sensible. He also repudiated the idea
that the yankees had freed the negroes.
There were about $50 negroes present, all
behaved well and seemed anxious to be in
formed correctly. Much good was effected
for the Democracy. A better feeling really
exists towards us by the negroes than is
generally supposed, and If we deal fairly
with them in our speeches and boldly con-
front their scalawag orators and show up
their nefarious purposes, we shall succeed In
voting down the constitution.
The people of Rankin are alive to the issue
and have set the ball in motion.

Democratic Candidate for the
Legislature i'm I1auderdale.

In accordance with previous an
nouncement, public meeting of the
Conservative men of Lauderdale
County, was held in the Court House
at Marion yesterday, to nominate
candidates for the lower house of the
Legislature.
A committee was appointed to re-
commend suitable names to the meet
ing. The committee deliberated fair
ly uninfiuenced by favoritism, ard
solely with view to availability and
eligibility under the proposed Consti-
tuition. AS the result of their delib
erations, they proposed the names Of
Joseph Marlborough, resident Of this
part of the county, and DR.. John n.
Rhodes, of Daleville. The names
were accepted and unanimously rati-
fed, and these gentlemen are the can
didates of the Conservative white men
Of the county.

Gen, Morgan l.. Smiths Divorce
Case in New York.
BEFORE JUDGE BARNARD.

BEFORE JUDGE BARNARD.
Morgan L.. Smith VS.. Mary Ann
Smith. In December, 1866, the plain
tiff obtained IN the Supreme Court of
this city and county decree of di-
vorce from his wife, the defendant,
on the ground of alleged adultery on
her part with various persons Mrs.
Smith was at the time, and now is, a
resident of Newport, Kentucky, and
when plaintiff obtained the decree he
swore that he was a resident of this
State; but it is now claimed that he
was then actually resident of St.
Louis, Mo- A short time previous he
had occupied the position of General
Agent Of the Southern division of the
Little Miami railroad. and had during
the war attained the rank of General
in the Union army in the Southwest
A short time after obtaining his de-
cree against this defendant he married
Miss Genella, of Vicksburg, Miss,
who has since borne him one child,
and in February, 1867, he was ap-
pointed United States Consul at Homo
lulu, Sandwich Islands, and shown to
be citizen of Missouri.
1t appears the first intimation his
wife had of the decree of divorce
against her was on Dec. 8, 1868, when
Mr.. Smith came to his home in New
port, KY, and just before leaving the
house, again informed his wife that he
had obtained decree of divorce. She
asked what he meant, and he replied
that it was a sort of mutual arrange
ment for separation between us. She
protested against the idea and asked
him where he obtained it, and he de
clined to give her the information,
merely remarking that ssdivorces could
be obtained very easily in the State of
Indiana" He then left her with five
children and some time elapsed before
it could be ascertained under what ju-
risdiction the decree had been grant
ed, but it was ultimately found to be
among the records of the Supreme
Court of this State.
The case came up yesterday on a
motion-~to set aside the decree as
fraudulent and void. The defence
asked for delay in order to secure the
attendance or affidavits of witnesses
who, it is alleged, are now living in
Omaha, (Nebraska,) Cincinnati, New
Orleans, Newport, KY, and st. Louis
These witnesses are the parties upon

gained complete triumph over the
champions Of the mongrel constitu
ton. Our informants assure us that
the positions taken by the conserva-
tive speakers were altogether satisfac-
tory to the colored people, whose eyes
were opened as to the designs of the
Radical emissaries. We are convinc-
ed that thorough canvass, by sensible
and discreet men in every county, will
result beneficially to the conservative
cause. Our permanent citizens must
not permit few unscrupulous adven-
turers to control the votes of the ne
groes against the real interest of both
races.

The stage of the Mississippi River

A correspondent of the Memphis
Avalanche, writing under date OF oath
inst, from Colum bia, Arkansas, says
For some time past great solicitude
has been felt of another inundation and
and destruction of crops this year, but
now, thank fortune, the river is at a
stand, and so far, but little damage has
been done. 1t is only here and there,
where the levees have broken Off and
caved in, that farm or two is partial
ly covered with water.
At Napoleon, the river current has
struck with heavy force against the
Arkansas shore, and has cut the bend
away until the old marine hospital.
once several hundred yards from the
waters edge, is now caving in and
and rapidly disappearing from view.
1t will soon be entirely gone, and so
will what remains of the town itself.
AT Cypress creek, fifteen miles be-
low Napoleon, the levee has caved off
and. the water is flowing across the
country to Bayou Macon, doing con-
siderable damage to farms in the in
tervening region. At Cypress and
Yellow bends, Moss and Sarrelfs,
lower down, the same trouble has oc-
Cured, the levees have fallen in and
occasional farms are under water
A break has also occurred on the
Mississippi side below Friar's Point,
which is overfowing the Deer Creek
country as far down as Captain Hale's
plantation. Higher up some damage
is also reported by breaks in the levee,
and at Frank Rodgers, in Walnut
Bend, the water covers his farm. All
however, feel relieved at the prospect
Of an early decline of the water, and
are sanguine of yet making crop in
the overfowed lands.

that Wooley gave a dinner party in
Washington soon after his arrival
there, which the Presidents counsel
attended, deducting from that fact the
knowledge and completely of Mr.
Johnson; that Gen. Adams, a Federal
soldier, had proposed the purchase of
Senators to collector Smythe, of New

DEMOCRATIC GAINS IN INDIANA
The gains in favor of the Democracy
in Indiana are quite as cheering as
those made apparent by careful
analysis Of the returns of the elections
In Illinois and Michigan. In almost
every county in the State the Demo
Gratis gained largely in trustees, which
under the township organizations and
mode OF conducting elections, is a
very important Office. If the Demo
Gratis can increase their vote from now
until October, in the same ratio thew
have during the past year, the State
will give fifteen thousand majority for
the white mans ticket. There is no
reason why this should not be DONE
