lbe transparent cheat which has

ii DECEIVED nobody but its authors
while il discouraged and disgusted
4 large majority Of the white men
Of the State, aud completely alien
afed the colored men who came TO
our rescue in 1868. We hope never
again to witness the ~stupifaction OF
the Democratic party. We hope
neTer again to witness the stultitica-
ton Of the Democratic party. We
hope never again TO witness the
shameless bargain aud sale, 0y
which the people Of Mississippi
were sold for less than q cong. We
hope never again TO see q clear
working maj rity Of eight thous-

jority sacrificed to the childish van
ity of incompetent leaders We
must make 4 fresh start. We must
dismiss the old leaders, and Sc
lect new ones, who will infuse life
and spirit into the masses OF the
state.
We want men at the head Of the
party who will win back the 'con-
iidence that has been lost, and re-
gain the strength that has been
wasted. We want a new deal oil
around. We want more youthful
energy In the government Of the
Democratic party. The days OF
fogyism and respectable incapacity
are past, and the time has come for
the young men OF the State TO take
the control of public affairs into
their own hands.
There is O great work to be done;
aud the sooner we set ourselves
about doing il the better will 1t be
for the State and the people. To
do this work, and to do 1t we'll
we shall need strong arms,
and clear heads, and neither
of these can be found among those
who have Just led the Democratic
party to It's destruction.
In order TO secure these two
great requisites, there should be
called, as early as practicable, q
State COnventiod Of the Democrat
ic party. There should be no UNI
necessary delay ; but a call should
be Immediately issued by the Exec
utive Committee, and, Ii they fail
or refuse to do so, then q cOnven-
ton shout be called BY the Demo-
cratic press Of the State.
Whatever others may do, we
once more unfnrl the Democratic
banner, aud cordially invite the
freemen Of Mississippi to rally be-
meath It's time-hOnOrsd folds. Those
whose prejudices or principles will
not permit them TO join our ranks,
can 20 wherever their sympathies
lead them. We have no more bar

been aroused from q bed of shame

was torn and pulled to pieces by
the brave officers charged with max

body fully exposed to the sight Of
the many virtuous men and women
who were walking on the pave

poor, frail and weak creature was
fairly dragged from the corner of
Church avenue to the tOmbs. De-

their heads IN sorrow aud disgust,

The SUBJ COMMITTEES on the Ninth
Census, IN considering az the outset
the question Of representation and
population, discovered that the
amendments to the constitution
greatly multiplied the difficulties Of
securing . perfect basis upon which
TO regulate the number of represen-
tatives In the lower house Of Con-
gTess. Another feature 10 the
question wa the conflicting clauses
OF the State constitutions. In view
OF these facts General Garfield
during the past summer spent
much time in compiling a digest
containing the provisions of the ma
tional and State Constitution and
laws relating to the right of suf-
frage. Having completed his work
he submitted the proofs Of that por-
lion relating to the States to their
respective Governors for revision
and correction. A resume Of this
very interesting document presents
