Editors Clarion Since my return from
Jackson, / have attended the Democratic
Congressional Convention, which nominated
the true man, Judge T n. Martin, to repre-
sent the 2nd District, a man of integrity and
moral worth of int gritty and sterling merit,
and who bares his breast to the enemy's steel
with determination worthy our high and
holy cause. Our Senatorial Convention
nominated the gallant Col. M. d. L. Ste
phens, than whom more popular available
candidate could not have been selected, but
he was ineligible, and like the noble Roman,
sacrificed himself Tor his country.
Our County (Yalobusha) Convention was
a compete success, and the veteran Colonel
Mister and the chivalrous Tom Garner, both
eligible, have thrown our county banner to
the breeze, and the whole country has en-
listed. There is life in the old land yet"

up your excellent CLARION, the real "buck

paign.

and are determined "to do or die" but we
need the campaign cartridges. Enclosed
you will please find S65 90 and a list ofsxty-

and right here, in the name of our entire
registered vote, we challenge any town in
the State to bring up larger proportional
Democratic majority against the Constitu-

Ye gallant spirits, in the great magazines

State, in haste prepare, and send to the field
reliable cartridges and shells, with their
fuses cut short, that our hearts rising with
the curling smoke of victory In grateful
melody, may ascend to Heaven
The Democracy of the whole country are
arousing. and many blacks and Union

Congressional.

The following is the text of the re-
solution offered in the Senate by Ed
munds, (radical) to exclude from the
electoral college the votes of certain
Southern States:
Resolved that the States of North
Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia,
Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Arkan-
sas, Louisiana and Tex IS, respectively,
shall not be entitled to representation
in the Electoral College, for the choice
of President or Vice President of til e
United States, and no electoral votes
shall be received or counted from any
such respective States, unless at the
time prescribed by law for the choice
of electors, the people of such States
shall pursuant to the acts of Congress
in that behalf, have since the 4th day
of March, 1867, adopted Constitution
of State government, shall have been
organized, and shall be in peaceful OF
Grafton, and such State shall have also
become entitled to representation in
Congress, pursuant to the acts of Con-
gress in that behalf.

Work on the Lot. On the PIanta-
ton, and Ia the Precinct.

The efficient work is to be done at
home, and in the neighborhood. Ev-
cry man has his field for labor and his
work to do and if all WORK, we shall
redeem the State.
The effective talk is to the people of
the neighborhood, gathered together
without excitement, in the cool Of the
day. Efficient men can be lad every
where, and constant work and watch
fulness are necessary. The freedmen
need much kind and patient instruc-
ton to remove false impressions, and
to teach them their duties. Let citi-
zens in every neighborhood give heed,
and see that the work is done. One
hoeing does not make crop.

A number of our best colored citi-

them at the Court house, last Tuesday
evening. A large assembly, both of
whites and blacks were present, and
the two gentlemen above named de
llvered peculiarly appropriate, in
structive and eloquent addresses,
greatly to the satisfaction of their
hearers
They were followed by several other
speakers, among them Mr.. Nelson

colored, who delivered themselves
clearly, intelligently and with much
feeling They took the strongest
conservative ground in opposition to

organs, date May 20:
1--WE begin TO fear as to the result of the
Impeachment trial; however, the adjourn
ment until the Goth inst, may yet save the
country, and us poor Radicals down here.
The Chicago Convention meets during the
interim, and there is force and logic in
numbers, the weak may thereby be stI ength-
ened. But tor E'essenden, Trumbull &

That tells the story. The impeachment
has failed and impeachers are hopeless. The
President is saved, and Radicalism dies OF

office rats take warning, and quit the sinking
ship.

Would it not be good idea to get
rid Of the old drunken thief, Chapel,
by means of a requisitiOn from the
Governor of Alabama, where he fin
gered his friends pocket and got his
money. There is an Indictment
against the old villain in the Circuit
Court of Pickens county for stealing,
and he could be brought to answer
this Indictment if proper steps were
taken. We do not suppose he is
afraid of it at all ard have no idea that
he will run away before the papers
can be fixed up. Wont somebody see
to this little matter Macon Beacon.
The Chappell alluded to, is the
Mongrel Conventionist of that name
The statement that he has been in
dicted for stealing, with specifications
so that nothing is left to vague infer
ence, is made at his own door by q
journal published in the very county
which he claims to represent. This
is not mere personal abuse; but q
statement of a fact, which if true, GER
family disqualifes him from sitting in
any legislative body. For a similar
crime, one Bradley, a negro member
of the Georgia Convention, was ex-
PEELED from that body. We shall
await with some curiosity to see what
defence Chappell has to make.

The Loyal Leagues. q Criminal
COnspirayc.


In addition to the speech of Gen.
Freeman, demonstrating that the 10y
al League is combination, subjecting
those concerned in it, by the law of
this State, and by the common law, to
prosecution and to punishment, il
found guilty of the acts committed by
the parties, we publish to-day a con-
elusive article on the same subject
over the signature Of 'Revised Code"
1t is assumed that these combina-
tions are oath bound, and require of
persons who are enticed into them, to
vote according to their behests by
promise of reward, or fear of punish
ment. In proof Of the system of ter
ror exercised over the minds of the
credulous freedmen, it is known that
they are made to believe that they
must vote in a particular way, or they
will be punished for perjury. Our
correspondent from Brandon, pub
fishes that Cyrus Myers, negro mem
Der of the Mopgrel Convention, mott
fed the members of a Colored Con
vention, at that place, that they were
acting under oath.
| 1t is further known, that the League
is not only an oath bound, but an
ARMED combination. OF this fact,
evidence has been afforded to
our own citizens by members
Of the League marching with arms, and
in military order, to their places of
meeting. The testimony Of the
Washington Chronicle, the leading
organ of the Leagners, is direct and
conclusive on this point Speaking by
authority, it testifies that they are
ready to carry the election, with the
"ballot or THE BAYONET."
The law of our State, making the
acts Of which these conspirators are
guilty, punishable by Imprisonment in
the Penitentiary, was passed in 1857,
to protect the purify of the ballot box,
and not by so-called "rebels" in order
to prosecute freedmen" At that
time, no negro in Mississippi, wheth-
er bond or free, was entitled to vote
1t is still operative, not having been
suspended, by military authority
Moreover, it accords with The pro-
fessed policy of Congress, as demon
strated by our correspondent, which, in
order to protect the freedom of cleo
tons, has stationed a military force
within the limits OF the State We in
vite the attention of our citizens to the
unlawful character of these conspira-
cies. Let this be made clear to the
understanding of freedmen who have
been persuaded to become parties to
the crimes in ignorance of the fact,
and without knowledge of the penal
| ties that legally attach to their offences
Will the military authorities who are
charged with the execution Of the laws,
and the policy of the government,per-
nit these secret, oath bound associa-
tons, by the expedients of fraud and
terror which they practice, to continue
their interference with the free exer-
else of opinion and of will in the cleo
tious?
