Maj. Woford, the Conservative Re
publican candidate for Congress, is ma
king gallant fight, and will be elected
by large majority. 1t will be remem-
bered by the people of the First District
that under the scheme of the Committee
of Sixteen, he could have secured seat
in the present Congress; but he scorned
to become party to the fraud which Al
corn, Powers, CASTILLO, 81 Co., attempted
tn practice. No man labored with more
zeal, nor made greater sacrifices, to de-
feat the scheme than Major WofForu hun
self
In this contest he has two competitors:
one the nominee of the Rabid Radicals,
the other a self-constituted candidate,
Avery, who halls at present, we are in
formed, from Tishomingo county. The
object of his running is understood by
the Conservatives of the District, and is
thus exposed by the Ripley Advertiser:
This man Avery's main object is to defeat
WOffOrd by dividing the Conservative'vote.
Ii he cannot be elected himself and we do
not think he stands the ghost of a chance.
he wants Harris elected. He is therefore
working in behalf of the radical cause-and
every conservative who votes for him there
by increases the chances for success of the
radical candidate. Let no conservative vo-
ter be deceived. Wofford is the recognized
candidate of the Conservatives.

We have no language to express the
lmazement which we have experienced
ht the revelation of the election tricks of
he Radical partizans which have been
partially exposed in these columns. We
lad expected little in the way of honora-
be dealing from the gang who tried by
false oaths to force the DISTINGUISHING
Constitution on the people of the State.
We knew they were parts of the same
dan that had plundered the other South
qn States, and bedeviled the people
hereof out of all endurance, but we were
lot prepared for the astounding develop
nents in the management of the pending
election which have been brought to light.
The importation of the thieves and vaga-
bonds who are VIGOROUSLY as purchase
able as rot-gut in crossroads grocery,
to conduct the Mississippi election, is a
confession by the Radical schern1Is whO
have been guilty of the deed, that they
could not find in their own ranks, within
the limits of the State, men capable of
performing the service required, or that
their object is to stuff the ballot boxes.

AIcorn Esc-appear- I'm Print.

The wise man who advised politicians
not to write letters was not a preceptol
of j. L. Alcorn, the candidate of the
Rabid Radicals for Governor. When he
wrote his Walker letter, charging the pa
rents of Mississippi with teaching their
children to be false to their Government,
we thought he had given the public his
last exhibition in the line of stupid and
malignant abuse. Butwe we're mistaken.
j. l.. has not come to his senses. His
unhappy fate pursues him. 1t is his des-
tiny to appear in print before the public.
He has written an address, dated Nov.
10, which excels all its illustrious prede-
cessors. We will at random string to-
gether some of the pearls of this remark.

TAxArrON, TAXATION /:

This is the burthern of the complaints
which come up from all the States in
which the carpet-bag adventures and
their scalawag allies have obtained con-
troll Of the Legislative and Executive
departments of their governments. Off
ces have been multiplied to feed the
swarms of hungry spoilsmen. The SEES
sions of the Legislatures have been pro
longed indefinitely, and every resource OF
knavery is exhausted to find means OF
plundering the already impoverished Peo-
pie. Are the people of Mississippi to

Adams County Registrar.

1t is well known that Gen. Ames re-
ceived instructions from Washington to
give to each party representation on all
the Boards of Registration, and so fully
impressed were the Radical managers with
the necessity of at least making a pre-
tence of carrying out this policy that even
r. C. Powers, in his circular No. 3, stated
that in order that perfect fairness may
sbe secured, one Conservative for each
Board is desired" Nevertheless, the
Natchez Democrat states that tout Of
eighteen registrars all except two OIL
''three are violent Radical partizans." Ii

est of the Jacobins, the Democrat urges

What apology has Alcorn to offer to
the people of Mississippi for his connec-
ton with party which has imported vag-
abonds, thieves and dead-beats from
neighboring States to manage their cleo
ton? Does he mean to say that in all
the county of Pamela the Radical party
could find no persons to serve in place Of
the notorious white rascals, Williams and
White, or the mulatto vagabonds, Carter
and Hodges? Does he mean to say that
it was necessary to insult the honest con-
sentative masses of DeSoto county ty
the importation of such dead-beats from
Memphis as Crockham, or of Tallahat-
chic, by the infection of such vermin as
Banning?

Radical schemers as the day of election
approaches. We are crediby informed
that Gibbs, of Committee of Five" no
toriety, has announced himself as can

Radical majority. Under all the circum'
stances of his conduct in the Mongrel
Convention-his Craftsmanship Of the In
famous Committee of Five--and his tes-
t1mony before the Congressional Commit
techs attitude Is q brazen defiance OF
the public sentiment of the whole State

organization, Notwithstanding its vehe'
ment protestatiOns of iberality, is the
same faction which was routed and driven
in disgrace from the field in 1868.

Nothing parallels the meanness of the
election trick, to which we referred in our
last issue, locating the places of voting
in many of the counties at points conve-
nient to the Radical voters and remote
from the conservatives. But let not the
latter consent to be deprived of their
rights by this despicable expedient 1t
only shows the desperation of the Radi-
cal managers and is virtually an acknowl-
edgment of defeat, if the whole conser-
vative strength is put forth. Men of Mis-
sissippi, do not be thwarted by these vex-
atious obstacles. Leave your homes,

The second letter of our Tennessee
correspondent cannot fail to attract atten-
ton. 1t contains food for the digestion
of white as well as colored voters. 1t
efectually nails to the counter the false
statement that the rights of the colored
people have been endangered by the ex-
pulsion of the Radical gang from
control in that State; and shows that in
another election that class of voters will
act in a body with the conservatives, so
thoroughly intensified is their opposition
to the knaves by whom they have been
deceived and betrayed. For four years,
says this writer, we have dragged out a
wretched existence under Radical gov
eminent, which has left US all, white and
black, in far worse condition than we
were in at the close of the war. The
blacks having been swindled out of all
their earnings by their Radical betrayers
and task-masters, are reduced to state
of suffering which is pitiable to contem-
plate; and the property of ali classes is
loaded with a debt of forty millions of
dollars-and cursed with such a code of
laws as never before disgraced the gov
eminent of any civilized people.

justice and decency. We are informed
