The third article of the Franchise
Report, made by committee of the
Military Convention, prescribing the
form of oath to be taken by all regis
tered voters under the proposed State
contains this clause:
81 admit the political and cipu equality
of all me.a, so help me God"
Those words, s'oU men," are toler
ably comprehensive, and embrace all
orders and conditions of men, all over
the globe q All meni f" What in
cludes all men of Europe. Asia, At
rica, the two Americas, and the dwell
ers In the Islands of the seas :?
Wherever man is, and whatever he
is, he has political and civil equality"
here in these United States, in COM
mon with all other men! This
equality of all men, as they are,
without regard to residence, race or
country, precludes all objections to
non residents, aliens, or alien enemies.
SO long as they are men, they have
''political and civil equalityn' What
is meant by this term, - political
equality?" Does it include the priv
leges of voting and holding office
The Mississippi Radicals propose to
exclude 'the Rebels from the priv
lege to hold office, and to exclude
many of them from voting. They
also exclude idiots, insane persons,
and Indians not taxed, and all persons
not born in the United States, or natu-
rallied, and all persons disqualified for
crime. They do all this in caucus,
and in Convention, and then propose
to 90 forth and swear, "solemnly in
the presence of Almighty Cod" as
follows: II ADMIT the political and
civil equality of all men, so help me
God"
A majority of the Convention has
disfranchised great numbers of ouI
citizens; has denied their political
and civil equality" and the question
is: Can one of those members take
that oath without mourning the guilt
of perjury
The Daily clarion., 1868-04-22

The most prominent among those
whose names a.e mentioned are Gen
erals Hancock, Mcclellan and Blair
and the opinion is rapidly gaining
ground that the first named General
ought to be and will be the nominee
of the convention. Mcclellan lost
prestige by his defeat (which, by the
by, also apl lies to Mr.. Pendleton)
while the ''Blair family" with their
support of Mr.. Lincoln and for other
reasons, would be heavy weight to
carry Hancock has always been a
Democrat, and his war record is bril-
liant, and will stand the test of militia
ry criticism, which that of Grant will
not. His administration of affairs in
New Orleans exhibited high order of
ability and won golden opinions from
beth friend and foe. With Hancock
for President and John Quincy Adams
of Massachusetts, for Vice President
with those old revolutionary names
we could 90 into the fight with a
confidence that we would win-and
that is half the battle.
Thus writes the Washington cor
respondent of the Louisville Ky.
Courier. In all sincerity we will say
that the people Of the South care little
for the antecedents of the Democratic
candidate for the Presidency. The
matter that engages their attention
is his present position in reference
to the existing vital issues. If he is
opposed to placing the South under
African domination; if he is in favor
of guaranteeing to them their right of
local government, and will main
tain the supremacy of civil over mill
tary authority when the country is at
peace, he will be an acceptable candi-
date. They will ask no better plat
form than the principles declared by
Gen. Hancock in his order assuming
command of Louisiana and Texas, and
in his letter to Gov Pease.

From the Picayune of the 2lst.
THE ELECTION.
DEMOCRATIC MAJORITY IN CITY AND
PARISH.

AS far as known or estimated from
the data before us, Mr. Conway is
elected Mayor by about 800 majority.
The Democratic parish ticket has an
average of over 25O majority, and we
believe it is all elected. The Demo
cratic ticket carries the First District
by an average majority of 300 votes
The Democrats elect SIX Senators
in the city. The returns published
elsewhere are incomplete IN the Eighth
and Ninth Wards. An analysis Of the
figures given by us proves conclusive
ly that in some of the precincts, in the
First District particularly, the COM
missiOners have enormously computed
the tallies of the votes for and against
the constitution, as is clearly shown
by the votes for Governor, which i'm
mediately follow.
The vote for Recorder of the First
District is very close, the friends of
Mr.. Manning claiming that he is cleo
ted by a small majority. The friends
of Mr.. Gastinel. Democrrtic candidate
for Recorder of the First District,
claim that he is also elected
from the same paper we learn that
Amite City gave 80 majority for the
Democrats. Quarantine Station gave
80 Democratic majority. In Jefferson
Parish so far as heard from the vote
is close, Carrollton giving Demo
cratic maj jority.
Gen. Buchanan has issued the fol
loving order:
HEADQUARTERS 9TH MILITARY Dist,
Office of Secretary for Civil Affairs.
New Orleans, La, April 20, 1863.
( Circular Letter.
Boards of Registrars in the parish
of Orleans will at once make inquiry
as to whether the commissioners Of
election have made returns of ballots
as they aCere cast, or have added initials
on their returns to surnames borne on
ballots without initials or given names.
For instance, have ballots cast simply
for ''Warmoth' or 'Taliaferro' been
returned as for s'H c. Warmoth'' and
~. G. Taliaferro p They will trans
nit the result of their inquiry to this
office without unnecessary delay.

CONDITION OF AGRICULTURE IN Mis-
sIssIPPI. The last monthly report
from the Department of Agriculture
at Washington, contains some statis.
tics in relation to the large increase
in the price of farming lands in the
Southern States as compared with
1860 The following example applies
to the State of Mississippi:
DeSoto and Tippah, in the extreme
northern part of the State, show de-
crease of 70 and 80 per cent, respect
lively, attributed almost entirely to the
unsettled condition of political and
financial affairs, and the disastrous re-
suits OF the cotton culture of the past
IN Deooto, one year ago, farming
lands would sell for about three
1ourths their value in 1860, but the
nnanclal distress, consequent upon the
lali OF cotton prices, has thrown a
great deal of land on the market, and
reduced the price to very low figures,
more than threefourths of all the
land In the county being for sale, and
much oft must be sold at forced sale
:. having been mortgaged for supplies.
&C Ihe same may be said of many
o'her counties largely engaged in cot
ton culture Along the central tier of
counties, kemper reports a decrease

HIGH VS.. Low LANDS FOR FRUIT
GRowlNG.-A correspondent of the
Country Gentleman says very truly:
1t is common remark that our
hills are cold during the winter; and
they who live upon the plains and in
the valleys fiatter themselves that they
are favored with sheltered situations
and a milder atmosphere. But the
mercury sinks lower on the low lands
than it does on the hills; the frosts
are later in spring and earlier in au-
tumn the season is shorter, and con
sequently the hills are more favorable
for many varieties of fruit than the
wales
For several years / have observed
that the peach orchards on the hills
and mountains have borne a full crop
when every bud will be killed on the
plains. 1t is so this year; my trees
are now in bloom. while not flower
is seen on the flats half a mile below,
and only few hundred feet lower
So it has been with the cold during
the last of April Though the ground
frt re on the hills, no fruit buds were
injured, while the cold was SO severe
below as to destroy buds on the cher
ry tree.
That the season is longer on the
hills is evident from the fact that my
Isabellas and Catawbas are usually
thoroughly matured as high north as
the south line of Massachusetts. But
the early frosts cut them on low lands
all around me. In the PLAINS in the
evening one feels damp chill in the
atmosphere, which changes to warm
current upward as you ascend the
hills.

The Mobile Evening Tribune, of
the 10th, gives startling account of
the killing of a large panther in the
streets of Mobile, on the morning of
that day He was discovered in the
yard of a Mr. G Bright, on Cont
street, and was shot and severely
wounded by that gentleman after
which the animal was chased eXten-
sively through the streets, and finally
killed in LeBaron's lane. The ami
NAL measures, from the tip of the tail
to the head, six feet ten inches. His
appearance in that city cannot be &C
counted for.

Mr.. Thomas Payne, conductor on
the Detroit and Milwaukee Railroad,
has lately invented an ingenious con-
trivance to indicate to railway passen-
gers the station which they are ap-
preaching, its distance from the one
last passed, and from that point to
each terminus of the road. 1t is placed
in the centre of the car, and has two
arms projecting about two feet from
each side of the car, which, coming in
contact with posts placed for the pur-
pose, turn the Indicator Immediately
after leaving each station. This in
vention has been placed upon one OF
the passenger coaches, and meets the
approval of the officers of the road.

A Cry for BLOOD.

Forney, the Secretary of the Radical
Senate, clamors for blood as follows.
in the true style of the Jacobins of the
French revolution. 1t betrays the
desperation of the faction whose work
he is performing:
The general safety Of American
civilization would seem now to require
the prompt repression of crime at
whatever cost. Jefferson Davis the
assassins of Darcy McGee; all the
accessories to Lincoln; Andrew John
son, the abortive usurper, the chief of
the Ku-Klux Klan, and the murderers
of countless Union men who sleep in
shroudless graves in Dixie-of the
Ashburns, Mauls, looks, Kings and
hundreds of others who have disap-
peared in the yawning sepulchres OF
Secessia-must be brought to punish
ment. 1t is a necessity, and the crisis
that demands it is MT sectional, mol
even national, but continental and his
torical.
