enemies lines yesterday, was splendid
success. We have carried every pre-
cinct on the line of the Railroad from
the Tennessee line to jackson.
At Water Valley-400 votes polled,
all Democratic but Z, which we take to
be the "seven lean kine," or commit
tee of seven.
The news from other quarters Of
the State, indicate the same results.
Last night, Gov. Humphreys and
Col. Hooker had grand reception at
the Representative Hall. That i'm
mense room was crowded to sufoca-
tion-seats, allies, halls, galleries, nichs
and steps, all alive with anxious and
beating hearts, to hear from he"Great
Removed"
The Governor led off in calm, but
energetic, and oftimes exceedingly elo-
| quent address, which was received
more profound attention and respect
than any forensic effort of the cam
paign.
The Governor said he was no orator
but the audience found him guilty
of the cold man eloquent"
! His speech should be published and
circulated, as that of the representa-
tive man of the State.
Then came Col Hooker, long known
for his great forensic talents, and
thrilled the souls of his audience with
gigantic power. Always eloquent, he
was more than himself, and fayed the
enemy alive. For two hours, he main
tanned the most exalted and destruc-
tive assault on the enemy, which po-
litical conspirators and robbers ever
received, and the swaying audience al
ternately cheered, shouted, stamped,
relapsed in profound silence, scorned,
condemned and denounced the COM
mon enemy at the will of the orator,
who held them in the palm of his
hand, and the breath of his nostril.
Poor Gen. Mcdowell was reserved
for the closing scene of the drama,
and he was made to dance attendance,
like well trained "orderly," in the
presence of his superiors, the Demo
cratic partyo of the State of Mississippi.
In this connection the Committee
remark that the attempt of Gen. Nc
Dowell to remo0e the Governor and
Attorney General--like his attempt to
remove the Confederate army at Bull
Run has thus far proved a failure.
His insane order of removal was an
idle missive, and treated with the de-
fiance and contempt which all military
usurpers should receive when they
essay an assault on the sovereignty of
a State.
The Governor and Attorney Gener-
al, true soldiers as they are, stand by
their guns.
Let the General now exhibit his
army in front of the Capitol in a time
of peace. Let him open his batteries
and charge with his bayonets. Let
him enter by force the offices of the
Governor and Attorney General
let him bivouac, as did
Grant in the Executive mansion,
there let him play Bombastes Furioso,
there let him strut the Hero and ape
the wise man-there let him issue the
victors bulletin.
"Who' ere shall dare these boots displace,
Must meet Bombastes face to face"
His apparent victory will be more
simulated than real. His Hessian
allies, the Loyal Leagues, last night
delivered up their Ritual to the Dem
ocratic party and begged for univer-
sal amnesty. We publish below their
blasphemous prayer, oath and charge.
all seeking to cover a hecatomb OF
felonies under the hypocrit's veil OF
religious services.
These oaths taken in connexion
with the address of Lynch, whose
name thirty three of the Leagues bear
will disclose the-political villainy OF
the whole scheme to disfranchise the
white race in Mississippi and seize and
appropriate the offices and revenues
of the State by Lynch and his allies in
blasphemy, bribery and robbery.
