A little fellow. some four or five years
old, who bad never seen a negro, was
greatly prcplexed one day when one
came by where he and his father were.
The youngster eyed the stranger suspie-

his father: "Pa. who PAINTED that man
all black, SOL" "God did, my son." re-.

County Canvass.

Capt. Fitzgerald and Col. Cause
filled their first appointment as Demo
cratic County Canvassers, at Clinton,
on Saturday night. They had a full
attendance of citizens, including E. A
Peyton, at the head of the LOYAL
League.
Capt Fitzgerald reviewed the negro
constitution with great success and
severity, and concluded with an ap-
propriate biography of E. A. Pcy ton,
stripping him Of his assumed lions hide
and exposing him to the infinite
amazement of the crowd, and especial
lip of the freedmen. Peyton replied
in his meekest style, excusing his I'M
tenable position by saying there was
" an honest difference of opinion" be-
tween him and the Captain.
Col. Cause followed with an able ar
gument, concluding with a powerful
appeal to the patriotism of the county
Peyton essayed reply, but evident
ly showed that he had thrown up the
sponge.

Meeting at Terry.

At a preliminary meeting of the cit
liens of Terry and vicinity, held on
Saturday, Both May, Capt. Isaac V.
Enochs was called to the chair, 9nd
DR.. Thos. H. Jones appointed Secre
tary
The Chairman, in an able and com
prehensive speech explained the object
of the meeting 1t was to bring the
voters, without regard to color or pre-
vious condition, to a proper under
standing to the end that they might SO
harmonic in their political conduct
as TO secure the equal and just rights
of all, and avoid every thing like op
position or injustice to any class of
the people.
A. S. Classify moved the appointment
of committee to report resolutions
expressive of the sense of the meeting.
Adopted.
The chair appointed A. G. Brown,
VIM Hester, John w. Burnett, NJ
Hollins, and A. j. Classify, white, and
Samuel Classify, Morris Wolfe, Elton
Mitchell, and William Bingham, col
ored, who, after a short absence, re-
turned with the following report:
We think it IneXpedient to declare any
set of principles at this time, but re
commend the adoption of the follow
ing resolutions:
That here be called mass meeting
of all the people, without regard to
color, to be held at Terry, on the sec
ond Saturday, 18th day of June, and
the candidates for the I legislature, Of
both parties, Democratic and RPpubli
can, be invited to attend and address
the people on the issues which divide
them, and that on that occasion there
shall be an equal division of time l
a candidate on either side shall be alb
sent his friends may designate any
other speaker to take his place.
| That the proceedings OF this meet
ing be published in the Mississippi
Pilot and Clarion, at Jackson
Gov. Brown, speaking for the com
mittee, explained that the meeting was
small, and that it was composed o.
| both parties and both colors, sudden
ly called together, it would hardly b.
fair or consistent with a strict sense
of justice to take any step or pass any
resolutions, which might be construed
into an attempt to bind or forestall the
action of those who were absent.
He moved the adoption of the reso
lutions and the motion being put, il
was carried unanimously. Then the
meeting adjourned.

The Radical Mass Meeting at
Grenada.

1t had been heralded over the coun-
try by means of publication, and more
secret influences, that the 6 distin-
guished men on the Republican
side of the question:" would address
their "fellow- citizens at Grenada, on
the 9th inst. land the celebrated would
be Secretary of State, bespoke for
them a ''eordial reception and wei
come" @aa
The expected day arrived, and
brought with it, six Of the ''distin-
guished speakers and thousand ne
groes, who came to hear these oracles
of political wisdom. But unexpected
ly to these hearers, they were con-
fronted at the very crisis of the hour
of trial, by gentlemen on the other
side, who openly and publicly chal-
lenged them to discussion on any
terms. This knightly offer was met
with cowardly and logged refusal.
The apostles of disfranchisement and
perjury, dared not meet the issue, and
the Republican banner trailed in the
dust 1t had been struck down before
it was unfurled.
The effect may well be imagined
Humiliation and shame colored the
cheeks of the few adherents they
had, and everyone considered that a
cause which would not stand the test
of opposition must needs be rotten
one Many of the negroes signifed a
wish to hear both sides, but their
friends (?) and protectors, had no no
ton Of allowing them to hear any
truth. They must have nothing but
the nauseous and INSCRIPTIONS lies,
which should be dealt out to
them with the peculiar nasal twang of
the simon pure scalawag.
On the whole we consider the tri-
umph of the day to have been clearly
with the Democratic challengers. The
whining, slang wbang charges fell
dead on the stagnant air, and the dark
lantern meeting at night, with no
showing of faces, fully closed the
disgusting drama. There let them
rest in their infamy. M.

The Central Star, referring to the

proceedings of the Leake county
Democratic Meeting which have been
published in these columns, says ''the
''meeting justly rebuked the State
"Convention for assuming powers that
"did not properly belong to that body
sin presuming to select candidates for
Congress" The Star entirely mis-
apprehends the action of the Conven
ton. 1t assumed no such authority
as it is charged with exercising. On
the contrary, it did precisely the re-
verse. 1t passed a resolution recon-
mending the delegates IN attendance
from the several Congressional Districts
to meet and make nominations during
the session of the Convention, or to
call District Conventions to be held at
some future time, as they might deem
expedient Accordingly, while the
delegates from some of the Districts
made their nominations at once, in
other Districts they were postponed.
Our contemporary (unintentionally)
misrepresents the course OF the State
Convention.
