THE STATE FAIR.

1t is desirable to see full meeting of
the stockholders tomorrow evening at 4
o'clock, in the Senate Chamber. Plans
for buildings, premium lists, and other
important matters are to be considered.
In this connection we may state that
the lumber is being rapidly delivered, and
it is important that the work of building
should begin at once. We have only
three months for preparation.
We are somewhat surprised to learn
that Notwithstanding circulars have been
sent to two or more well known gentlemen
in every county in the State inviting them
to serve on Committees, and to solicit
subscriptions to the stock of the Associa-
ton, not a single response has yet been
received. Surely the burden, expense
and responsibility of this great movement
will not be suffered to rest exclusively ON
a few gentlemen in this vicinity. The
State Fair is to be held under the auspices,
and at the instance of the Planters,
Mechanics, and Manufacturers State As
ISOLATION, and our whole people are alike
interested in its success. 1t is to be in no
sense local Fair. We desire to see every
county in the State represented ON the
Committees, especially on the Premium
List, and we trust that the invitations so
generally sent out will be respondent to
at once. There is not a moment to lose.
The Premium List should be made up
and published very soon, and as premiums
mean money to procure them, we hope
the officers of Auxiliary Associations will
see the necessity of early, active and sub
stantial cooperation with the Committees
appointed by the State Association. Let
us have Fair worthy the name and
State.

One who looks at the present platform
of the Radicals, can trace very little re-
semblance, indeed, between their original
principles and their present professions.
A band of unprincipled adventures, mi
nus character, principles and honesty, in
their Constitutional Convention of 1868,
they planned, and diabolically adopted
constitution, reeking with the quintes-
cence of tyranny, oppression and undis-
guised meanness, disgusting to all liberty
loving men,. For this odious Constitu-
ton they struggled at the polls with des-
perate energy, employing fraud and false
hood, almost without limit, and certainly
without precedent, to force it upon the
people of the State. Fairly defeated at
the ballot-box, by large majority of the
people, they did not yield to the popular
decision; but, through the instrumental
ty of fraud, perjury and attempted bri-
berry, "moved Heaven and earth" to in
duee the Radical Congress to proclaim
as the fundamental law of Mississippi,
and thereby place the reins of the new
government in their own foul hands, that,
by fraud, embezzlement and rapine they
might crush out the. last remnant of vi
tally remaining in a down-trodden and
suffering land. This affords us an Illus
tration of the real sentiments of the Egg
gleston faction. They hare nepeT abandon
ed their principles. True, they have a
platform, very conservative in its general
tone, in which they pretend to have aban-
doned all their abominable doctrines, and
to have embraced the conservative senti-
ments entertained by the National Union
Republicans Is there a sensible man in
all Mississippi who can believe in this
metamorphasis of the scalawag faction?
Can the leopard change his spots? Why,
then, this beautiful and conservative plat
form, recently promulgated by the gang?
Why has the hyena been magically
changed into the cooling dove? Every
man, with thimble full of brains, very
well knows, that there has been no real
change in the vile principles of the Radi-
Gals; that they remain, this day, precisely
as they were, when with Eggleston, as
the beautiful ''figure head" of the con-
Germ, they sat in diabolical conclave in
the capital sof the State, like flock of
vultures, connecting the most infamous
constitution ever framed on earth. They
found, by the election returns, when the
vote had been taken on the monster
brought to life by their incubation, that
even the decent colored men of Missis-
siPpi spurned them; they saw themselves
spurned by the President of their own
choice, repudiated even by the Radical
Congress, and held in contempt by all de-
cent men every where. As a last diving
struggle 70 power and the spoils of
office, these precious fellows change
front, and, by a mere pen-and-ink
platform, hope to delude and deceive
an intelligent people. What shallow
devicel The only effect of the new plat
form win be to add to the disgrace of the
scalawags, if indeed. such athing be pos
sible.

We anxiously await the decision OF the
Administration ON the question of apply
ing the iron-clad test to State officers, cleo
ted at the time of ratifying the new con-
stitution, raised by the order OF Gen.
Candy, in Virginia. As there will be no
appeal from the decision, prudence die
tates that our course in the pending cleo
ton. should be guided by it in the selec-
ton of candidates But we are not with
out hope that the decision viii be adverse
to the Candy constitution. The n. I.
Times CRepublican) protests against 1t
(the order of the Virginia Commander
and shows thatit is sin direct conflict with
ssthe opinions of General Grant, repeat
eedly expressed, and with the course Pur-
'.sued under his orders in the States al
ready reconstructed. :"
And in support of this assertion the
Times quotes from papers heretofore Is
sued by Gen. Grant-as follows:
On the I'd of March 1868, General
Grant, in dispatch to General Meade,
wrote:
.yThe officers elected under the new Con-
stitution of Georgia are not officers OF the
Provisional Government referred 10 IN the
Reconstruction acts, nor are they ofncers
elected under any so-called State authority.
and are not therefore required to take the
oath prescribed in section 8, OF July 18TH,
1867"
On the 29th April, 1868, in dispatch
to the Georgia Commander, at Atlanta,
General Grant again wrote:
81 have carefully read your letter of 10th
| April and its Enclosures see nothing th
| them TO change ma opinion as expressed TO you
| in NV dispatch of March 2 1868. The Off
GERS elected under the new Constitution OIL
Georgia are not officers of the Provisional
| Government referred to in the Reconstrnc-
/ ton acts, nor are they officers elected under
i any so-called State authority, ana are not,
| therefore. required to take the oath prescri-
| bed In section 8, act of July IL. 1867. me
eIi0ibiIitg to hold Office must be determined 0y
| the aesc Constitution, and the Amendment 10
/ the Constitution of the United states, deslg-
l mated as article fourteen.
The iron-clad oath, therefore, was not
applied to members of the Georgia Leg
islature.
The same course was pursued in Lou
isiana. In the proceeding of the State
Senate under date June Both, 1868, we
find recorded the following Geographic
dispatch from General Grant to General
Buchanan:
Il have no orders at present to give; but
| [ repeat to you, as heretofore, that the mem
| bers Of the Louisiana Legislature are only re
| ouired to take the oath prescribed by their Con-
| stitution and ARE NOT REQUIRED to take the
test oath, prescribed in the Reconstruction
Acts Generals Meade and Candy are act
ing on this view of the case.
| (Signed,) u. ,. GRANT
The Times, after citing this incontro-
vertible authority, proceeds to demon
strate by the language of the reconstruc-
ton acts, they edo not warrant the plea
of the proscriptionists" that the test-oath
of 1868, should be required of persons
elected to fill State offices.

The Virginia Election.

The organs of the Bitter-Enders pre-
tend to believe that Congress will not ad-
NIT Virginia into the Union because she
has dared to trample under-foot the car
pet-baggers, who had gathered like vul-
lures around the carcass of dead lion,
to fill their purses from her treasury.
They have paraded Forney's words, "that
Congress yet held the key to the cita-
DEL" uttered the day after the election,
when the heat of the battle was not yet
over, and he had not recovered from the
modification experienced by learning what
small advantage his speeches had been to
Wells and his Radical cohorts. They
gloat at the fact that the Wells organs
pronounce the election a fraud. They
should not, be admitted. They promise
that abundant testimony will be furnished
to substantiate this position. Is anybody
surprised at this? More particularly is any
person in Mississippi surprised at it when
it is recollected in what monstrous pro-
portions the same kind of testimony was
introduced before Congress in the case of
Mississippi last fall? When it is remem-
bered how the Committee sent to Wash
ington from this State deliberately swore
to what was false to accomplish their ends?
How the Committee of Five and their
Commissioners in the various counties in
duced uneducated negroes to sign papers,
the contents of which they were ignorant,
for the same unholy purpose?
OF course this surprises no one car
pet-bagism and scalawagery is the same in
Virginia as it is in Mississippi. Their
object in attempting to swear Mississippi
into the Union with the Constitution and
all its obnoxious features fastened upon
her, after they had failed at the ballot-box,
was to get possession of the offices. They
will attempt to keep Virginia out so that
they may continue to hold the offices
which Candy has given them.
Judging from the course Congress pur-
sued with regard to Mississippi, we have
reason to believe that this, their last re-
sort, will fail As will be seen in another
column, the Washington Chronicle has
taken a sober-second thought and speaks
well of the Governor elect of Virginia
Our friends there have but one course to
pursue and all will be well. Fulfill to
the letter the requirements of Congress.
Adopt the Fourteenth and Fifteenth
Amendments to the Constitution. Elect
Moderate Republicans to the United
States Senate, and the knell of carpet
baggery viii have been sounded.

FUNNY..-IsN.T Ir:

The objection of the carpet-baggers' Or
gan to Judge Dent, who is citizen of
Coahoma county, temporarily residing in
Washington, that he is not citizen of
Mississippi, is not less amusing than the
other ground of opposition that he was a
"rebel sympathizer" during the war. We
do not know how that was, inasmuch as
We are acting with reference to the pres
ent position of men upon living issues,
rather than to the past. Inasmuch, how
ever, as Gen. Grant could afford to APP
point Gen. Longstreet to one of the most
lucrative offices in his gift, with the APP
proval ofan intensely Republican Senate,
surely the Pilot ought to be able to over
look the alleged sympathy" of Judge
Dent, a National Republican, which at
most was matter of feeling and did not
display itself in hard blows as in the case
of Longstreet

If the Virginia carpet-baggers need as
sistance in swearing that the late election
in that State was carried against them by
fraud and violence, they can secure the
services of the Committee of Sixteen for
a small compensation, their late employ
ers, the Radical party of this State,
having discharged them at their last Con-
vention. They are fully competent. Dis
lance from the place of the election at the
time of its holding makes no difference
with them. Their brains are pregnant
with imaginery Ku Klux outrages, and
their eyes can discover tears of distress
trickling down the cheeks Of the happiest
colored men in the country when it suits
their purposes. They justly claim SUI
periority over all in this respect.
For further particulars as to specialities,
reference is made to the evidence before
the Reconstruction Committee of Con-
gress relative to condition of affairs in
Mississippi.

He goes via the Union Pacific Railroad

Hong Kong, which route will occupy be-

that the necessary number can be OBJ
tanned in California, Mr.. Gift will return
at once with them from that place, de-
ferring his trip to China until the exper-
