THE Mississippi friends of Judge Lewis
Dent are at liberty to nominate hin for
Governor if they choose; and Juge Lewis
Dent is at liberty TO accept the nomina-
ton, if he thinks proper. But when the
former call themselves National Re-
~publicans," and their Convention a Ma
tioual Republican Convention and
when the latter accepts the nomination as
the act OF the Republicans of the State,
they are Jointly and severally parties TO a
fraud. The object OF those who have
made this nomination is TO defeat the
genuine Republicans in the approaching
contest, and 4 spurious Republican ticket
is considered the best means of accom-
plishing it.. This is what the Dent mOve-
ment in Mississippi really means.-N. y.
Times.
Is not that a hard case? Our Mis-
sissippi neighbors have surrendered
on their knees everything which was
required of them! And now comes
BRENNUs, and throws his sword into
the scale, and demands mOre. The
Mississippians have all turned Repub-
lieans-bgt that is fraud" They
have endorsed Congressional recon-
~struction out and out, every word,
syllable and letter. They have given
all their nominations to original Union
and northern born men, excepting
only the Governor, and went into the
circle of the Presidents relations to
find that. They have nominated for
Secretary of State a negro. They
have Ostracised all their old Confeder-
ate and Southern leaders. They have
said, done and thought just what
Radicalism required. And yet it all
goes for nothing-it is all insufficient.
Nothing viii satisfy the non-eombat-
ant northern tyrants but ALCoRN,
the scalawag secessionist, and his
skulking and bushwhacking mean
whites-the Mississippians must swal-
low the whole hog, b~ristles, litter and
ALI They have conceded the inch,
and they must yield the ell.

THE Ripley (Miss.) Adrertiser Of
Saturday, has an account of the Rip
ley and New Albany Railroad meet
ing Just held at Orizaba. 1t represents
the interest taken by the people in the
enterprise as sufficient to sur its
success. There was no opposition
whatever; everybody willing to sub
scribe, and stock taken freely. This
furnishes a very fine sa~fety-valve for
Southern money, which would other
wise be thrown away on ringers, )"
nef horses, carriages and pianos, or
spent at Northern hotels and water
ing places. Our people must have a
way to spend their money, or it will
burn their pockets. And this railroad
plan not only keeps it at home, but
makes it the nest egg for rapid pro-
duction and plenty.
Other railroad meetings in the in
terest of this enterprise are to follow,
and we shall not be surprised if the
road should reach the Mississippi.
Let the good work go on. Within
twenty years, those who live so long
will see the South covered with rail-
roads as with a spiders web.
The surplus monies which for
merly went for negroes must be
used, and as there is no way
so profitable as this and manufacture
ing enterprise, no other is likely to be
chosen. The South will then become
dense with population, crowded with
cities and towns, and will abound
with wealth. The day iare0ming
when it will be the garden ground OF
America, the seat of learning, science
and luxury, filed with palaces, and
her streets garnished with gold.

The white people Of Louisiana
are having a delightful time.
They are to be commiserated, in
asmuch as the unfair administra.
ton OF the Reconstruction laws
by Gen. Sheridan would proba-
bly, have baffled all their efforts
to secure control Of the Conven-
ton. Their case is unlike that of
Arkansas, which, under the just
rule of Gems. Ord and Gillem,
might have secured a Convention
that would have framed a tolera-
bic constitution. But her people,
relying upon impossible agencies,
or the promises Of Mr.. johnson
or probably somebody else equally
powerless to help them, re-
fused to take part in the election,
and quietly surrendered the per-
manent government to the vul-
lures that are now feeding upon
their nanacled limbs. We sin
cerely commiserate them, but we
cannot help repeating in their case:
"Oh Jerusalem, Jerusalem f! how
"often would / have gathered thy
children together, as a hen
"gathereth her chickens under her
"wings, and % pould mott Be
"hold your house is left unto you
"desolate."
And thus are to be represented
all shades of opinion in the new
administration-the wolf shall
dwell with the lamb the leopard
with the kid the calf and the
young lion, and the failing to-
gether /; only they must,au accept
the situation and be "truly loyal"
On minor issues, they may be
distinct as the pillows, but in the
matter Of loyalty" they must be
one as the sea.

The Committee Of Five VS..
SIX General Ames.

The Pilot does not pretend to
answer our enquiry why the par
tizans of the Convention, if they
have the confidence in General
Ames which they profess, are OPP
posed to his remaining in the of.
fee of Provisional Governor; but
evades it by asking why TIE
CLARION assumes such to be the
fact, and why we have stated " at
least by inference" that the Pr
lot and its friends want the Office
to be filed by q creature Of the
Convention
The CLARION does not assume"
hese facts, nor leave them "to
inference 1t POSITIVELY ASSERTS
both. The Pilot, itself, furnishes
the proof in its publication of the
Paine bill, which takes from the
President the appointment of
Provisional Governor. and vests
it in the Convection. This bill was
introduced in the interest of the
Committee of Five, after the de-
feat of their original programme.
And is advocated by the Eggle
ston party, as shown by their in
terview with the President,
wherein their spokesman, Sol.
Perce,1' undertook to convince
him that the appointee of the
Convention would be "better
able to take care of the interests
of the State than the Military
Governor" The President, no.
seeing it, that way, said that
pending the preliminary organi-
cation of the State, the Office
should be filed by an officer of
the army, who would have no
selfsh'or partizan interest to sub
serve.
Does the Pilot mean to assert
that it does not endorse the views
of " Perce" & Coz If so, the
Pilot is a double-headed concern;
for FL. I. Fisher, an editor of the
Pilot, is one of the a Perce com
mittee who waited on the Pesi-
dent ndFeceiyed the dose of cold
comfort which headministered.

Bishop Pierce, of the NJ. E
Church, South, gives, in a recent
letter, an interesting account of
the proceedings of the Georgia
Colored Conference of that

that several of the speeches would
have done credit to any assembly.

The Guilty Parties.

The Meridian Mercury finds
one clause to approve, in the Mis-
sissippi bill now pending, viz :
the clause which prescribes a
penalty for the otfense OF attempt
ing to prevent any person voting
as he pleases, by threats, intiml-
dation, force, etc. In the last
election, there were thousands of
instances, Says the Mercury
wherein negroes, who wanted to
vote Conservative, were prevent
ed Thy fear of the Leaguers and
their terrible threats. There was
a case in Meridian in which the
threats were carried into execu-
tion-a negro taken down and
beat with switches for being a
Democrat. 1t was in Court, and
| VIII be remembered.
We (the writer of this will
add further, that it is capable of
proof that after the June election,
| in the rooms Of the Committee of
Five, at the Capital, when the
| Committee were manufacturing
testimony in secret, for consump-
ton at Washington, freedmen
were told that they would be paid
from five to seven dollars each,
il they would swear that they
were forced " to vote against
the Constitution-that freedmen
were offered twenty-five dollars
to go into the country and pro-
cure voters who would SO swear
and that freedmen, who had so
voted, were terrified with the
charge that by that act wiz: vo-
ting against the infamous Consti,
tution) they had rebelled against
the United States, and had voted
themselves back INTO slavery
1t is susceptible Of proof furth-
er more that affidavits were
forged in the names of ignorant
freedmen who could not read
nor understand what they were
subscribing, setting forth matter
directly the reverse Of what they
really stated.
Let the safeguards against
fraud and corruption be made as
strong as possible in any future
election. But after all, what will
they amount to if the reliance
for their enforcement is upon
| Eggles.on and others who are
mean-spirited enough to beseech
Congress to confer upon them
the offices which the registered
voters deemed them unworthy to
fill, and who have been guilty OF
the tricks charged upon them by
Rev. Lester Williams, Chaplain
of the Convention, in his letter to
Boutwell, ?

Valuable Cotton statistics,

We copy in another column
some valuable statistics of our
chief staple from a recently pub
lished report of the statistical
committee Of the National Asso-
citation of Cotton Planters and
Manufacturers. These figures
show the immense falling off in
the production of Cotton in con-
sequence Of the overthrow Of the
labor system of the South, and re-
flute the opinion which silly thee,
rist8 attempted to propagate that
under the present system, this
production would increase. There
is an error, however, in the esti-
mate of the crop of 1868 which
ought to be corrected. 1t is set
down at 100000 bales. Sub
sequent returns have demonstra-
ted to the satisfaction Of the most
incredulous that the crop will
not exceed 100000 bales.
Another curious exhibit is made
by these statistics. The average
weight of bales since emancipa-
ton falls far below their average
weight prior to that event and
a comparison of the number of
bales does not convey an adequate
idea of the real decrease Of pro-
duction-
But the most important feature
of this report is its demonstration
that the rise in the price Of cot
ton reduces the consumption and
curtails demand for manufac-
tured goods-thus reacting on the
producer
The duty of the Southern peo-
pie, in their own interest, to raise
supplies of subsistence at home,
is warmly urged.
We have been impressed with
the coincidence of these practical
with the views pre-
sented in the address of Mr.. Wes-
son delivered to our State Asso-
cation of which he is President. |
The election for members of |
Congress, in Alabama, will take
place in August. In their own
interest, as well as for the sake of
the country at large, it is to be
hoped that the Conservatives of
that State will not repeat the
oily of abandoning the choice of
members to the freedmen and
heir self-appointcd guides. One
never saves himself from a storm
BY affecting Indifference to it.

style OF type, fresh from the most ap-

has been in the Northern and Western
cities tor more than two weeks, exer-
cising his best judgment in the selec-
ton of materials which have already
began TO arrive.
The CLARION BINDERY VIII soon be
in full operation, and then our friends
will have their orders despatched with
our accustomed promptness.
The public may be assured that THE
CLARION is a live institution. We are
receiving many accessions to our sub
scription list. Let them come. We
are determined to be, not only con-
venience, but a necessity to the public.

The Pilot asks why the Con-
servatives have fallen $50 much
in love with Gen. Ames 2" We
emphatically repel the offensive
imputation of incincere pre-
tension which its language inn
plies.
The Conservatives mean moth
ing more nor less than they have
said, that since the State is to be
governed by military power, they
are gratified BY the appoint
ment of Gen. Amer, and so far
from throwing obstacles in the
way Of his execution of the laws
and preserving order, they will
unite and cooperate with him in
the attainment of these ends.
They were not Indifferent TO his
course as Provisional Governor
and it has encouraged the conf
dence that the same prudence,
moderation and firmness will
mark his career in the discharge
of the more responsible duties of
the office of District Commander.
Without exageration, this conf
dence has been freely expressed
and has been practically exhibit
ted in their petition to have him
retained in the Executive Office or
TO let the power remain with him
to appoint the incumbent, until
the State is reconstructed.
The Pilot expresses its conf
dence in stronger language than
we have used, and claims that be
will do justice to all sides :" and
yet the faction of which it is the
organ, is beseeching Congress and
the President to set him aside and
confer the appointment Of Pro
visional Governor on the defunct
Convention, and Of all the offices
of the State on the supple tool of
its choice. The faith Of the con-
servatives, and the Republicans
Of the Jeffords-Warner wins is
expressed in their acts. The
faith of the Eggleston cormo-
rants is expressed in empty words
and contradicted Ivy their acts.

pool circular of Edwards &c Co.
dated March 18th, of the crop in
India, says:
The general opinion now entertain
ed Ia bombay Is that the export for
this year will fall largely below the
last one. This is owing to two causes,
viz: the scanty supply Of old cotton
LEFT In the country on lst January, and
the disappointing out-turn Of the new
crops. 1t usually happens that a con-
siderable share OF the old crop, some
times 100000 to 100000 bales, Is not
shipped till the spring months, but last
year the country was cleared Of old
cotton more thoroughly than was ever
known before, and It is now found that
q mere trifle Of the old crop remained
for shipment this year. When to this
is added an admitted deficiency In the
new crop, IL Is seen that the prospect
Of supply from Bombay is very un-
satisfactory. Some houses are estima-
ting the deficiency of the year at 20
per cent, or say $4,000 bales, but we
think 1t unwise 70 put any estimate On
such uncertain data.

The following version Of the
reply of Gen. Grant to the dele
CATION of Republicans and Dem
ocrats from this State is copied
from the specials Of the st. Louis
Democrat Radical.)
THE PRESIDENTS PLAN FOR MIssIs-
sIPPI.
An interview took place TO night
between the President and delega-
ton of Mississippians representing
the Conservative and Republican ele-
ments of that State. The President
said he thought the best plan To quiet
the opposing parties in Mississippi
would be for Congress to authorize
the constitution TO be again submitted
TO the people, a separate vote to be
taken on the features objected to by
the Conservatives, and that In the
meantime the present military COM
mander should control the state.
Mr.. Beck has introduced an
amendment to the Paine bill in
accordance with this plan Of Gen.
Grant. 1t is entirely acceptable
to the conservatives and the fair
minded Republicans ; but exceed
ingly dista>teful to the carpet
baggers.
