We understand that in conversation
with Judge Dent, Gen. Alcorn expresses
his emphatic disapproval of the assault
upon him on the testimony of Penniman
made by authority of the Radical Exec
utive Committee" We were sure he
would not descend to an endorsement of
the libel, nor of mode of political war
fare so despicable as that!

blaze before the 3Oth November. You will
see from the last Gazette that we go for the
Dent ticket, and promise Tishomingo by
tremendous minority. If other parts of the

JUDGE DENT

Followed in a mastery and digniied man
ner, sometimes cutting his competitor to
the red with cimetar as keen as Damas-
Gus blade, and at other times rising far above
the level of his foeman in the higher regions
of true craftsmanship, with splendid flights
of cratory. Nothing could have been rich
er than the biting sarcasm of his descrip-
ton of Alcorn returning from the wars
which he had helped to bring on in order to
perpetuate slavery. covered all over with
honorable wounds, and nothing could have
exceeded his description of the consequent
ces of strife between the two races here
whose interests are identical, and who
should stand together on platform of equal
civil and political rights, united in all that
will rebound to the rue interests of both
He warned the colored people against the
Vaccinations of Alcorn and his crew, and
reminded them that when hey were down
Alcorn was for keeping them there, and
that he processes to be for them since they
are up because he wants their votes to help
him to office. His speech throughout was
complete, and was in the highest degree
gratifying to his friends.

GEN. LOWRY

Who was greeted with three times three
cheers. As he assembled the stand Aleorn
announced that as he had an appointment at
Canton, he would be compelled to leave.
The crowd quickly saw the ruse. 1t was 2IS
hours before the Canton train would depart.
There was no pretext on that score for alb
senting himself, and the only motive he
could have was to get away from Lowry's
terrible excoriation and draw his sable
Leaguers after him that they might not wit
ness bis humiliation. The audience sbonted
stand and take it, and thus IreadinS IN
stay. and yet without courage to leave amid
their taunts, he sank into his seat. and with
writings and contortions, received at the
hands of Lowry the most excruciatinv pun-
ishmenr which we ever saw administered IN
any suffering mortal. With perfect composure
--but with a cool look ofdefiance which smoke
thousand times more than his tongue ex-
pressed-he dissected his victim-laid hare
the quivering fiesh-and then applied nor
tions of salt and pepper which the apprecia-
tive audience rubbed in with remorseless de-
light. Ever and anon. Alcorn in desperation.
arose to explain" Lowry would patient
ly hear him. and then detecting the vulner-
able spot sent his arrow home to it-apd
down went his victim And so for one bour
which was Lifetime of agony to AIcorn-
Lowry slashed and peppered and sailed his
subject.

A CHORUS DAY FoR CONSERVATIVES

F 4 =
The above caption inadequately describes
the resultof the joint discussion I'm jackson
yesterday. FDrthe first time this season the
Conservatives were out in their might and
by their numbers and enthusiasm gave evil
dence of the resistless energy with which
they intend to sweep the State on election
days. They came out to hear, to cheer, and
to sustain their glorious champions with
the inspiring sense of their confidence and
hearty good will and nobly did those cham
pions represent their Cause and triumphant
ly plant their banners over the PROSTATE
bodies of their utterly discomfitted and
routed foes.
By arrangement Alcorn led of in one hour
and half. He took the stand without
cheer or token of sympathy, and poured out
the rinsings of his unclean spirit as he had
done often before, meeting nothing but the
cold and indignant gaze of men who had
formerly supported him, and receiving only
the sympathy of his Loyal Leaguers who
by the way did not do him the reverence to
attend him largely on this trying occasion.
He villified, as he is won't the Legislature of
1866 OF which he was a member and which
political associates, though 1t did him the
unmerited honor OF electing him to the
United States Senate-accused them of hav-
iag set the will of Congress at defiance-of
having acted in bad faith to the federal gov
eminent and to the freedmen-of wrong
dosng in rejecting the 14th amendment
complained that citizens meeting at jack
son advised the conseryativ We delegates not to
sit in the Convention (Which by the way is
false, they having done precisely the
rse)-abused Messrs. Watson and 9TH
ers, for leaving it after the mongrels had
imposed gag upon them and when they
could no longer remain without violating
their own self respect-claimed that mo-
tive to have the 18th amendment incorpora-
ted in the Constitution, defeated the sch+me
of his Committee of Sixteen and not the
influence of the Conservatives (Which is
untrue, because the re-submission bill pass
ed the House without the Amendment
which was Joined Ito it as an after thought
by the te)-charged that the Union Re-
publcans and Conservatives want to carry
the Legislature in order to defeat the said
Amendment which is known to be equally
false because the whole party is committed
to its ratification not only because it makes
suffrage uniform in all the States but there
is no other method by which the State can
be re-admitted into the Union-read let
ter from Wilson, of Massachusetts,, endors-
ing him, as if he was not sufficiently odious
to our people without such offensive COM
northumberland that Grant was on his
side-spoke bitterly of the whites, and at
tempted to intensity the passions and preju-
dices of the Loyal Leaguers.
