RECONCILIATION Of the Democratic Central
Committee.

The Democratic State Central Com

reelection Of Thos. Steele as Secretary,
and w. NJ. Smallwood as Correspond

We mention this change with pleas

From the Vicksburg Herald, Sth inst.l
The "day Of blood" has passed over
Meridian, and the city is resuming its
usual quiet. The following dispatch
came to hand Last evening. Mayor
Sturges, spoken Of as having departed
never to return, has been frebrand
in the community ever since he carpet
bagged there from New York. He
hated the people Of the South and of
Meridian especially, and never let an
opportunity escape no insult them, and
impose upon them obnoxious meas
ures. He went there not to be q citi-
zen, but to fill an Office and tyrannize
as much as his feeble authority would
permit over people whom he delight
ed in calling "rebels' and "traitors."
He continually endeavored to array
the blacks against the whites, and has
been guilty Of enough Of petty infamies
during his stay to damn him with all
decent people forever. It is pity that
Sturges did not fill the space occupied
by one Of the six Of his poor dupes,
when the fatal bullet sped on its Grand
of death. Our special correspondent at
Meridian telegraphs as follows:
MERIDIAN, March Z, 1871.
,Ncksba1ry Herald Everything is
quiet to-day. Citizens held another
large meeting to investigate cause of
the fire and prevent any further ex-
cesses. In the affair yesterday one
white man, Judge Bramlette, and six
negroes were killed, and one white and
one black wounded.
The African Methodist Church and
the residence of j. Aaron Moore, a
member of the Legislature, were burned
last night. The citizens all condemn

A good many of our patrons express
regret that the DAILY TELEGRAPH is
to be discontinued. We participate in

II we should say. that the good inthe

interest; but, still, we are not without
hope that our little DAILY has been a
welcome and useful adjunct in the
aggregate list Of whatever he's contri-
buted during the past three months to
progress, Improvement and social en-
joyment. Now that its usefulness has
just fairly begun, we dislike to drop it,

Einconvenienced and annoyed US. Yet,
there, appears to beno alternative. Per-
haps we shall feel justified next winter
in reviving the DAILY but its further

Letter From Argus.

We find the following commentary
upon "Coalition" in the New Orleans
Bulletin:
Editors B,slletin:-With the adjourn
ment of the Legislature and q little time
to look around one can easily sum up
the total of all that has been done for
Louisiana by q set Of men who claim to
represent the people Of this State. In q
word, can say that for the good Of
Louisiana .soAtaV, absolutely nothing,
has been accomplished; but the way
of building up monopolies, granting
subsidies, robbing the treasury, ,humili-
ating the white people and expressing
the taxpayers, all that the most vim
dictive, Ignorant and dishonest could
possibly desire has been fully accom-.
plished. And in this connection l
would Ask
WHAT EAv1 THE DEMOCRATIC MEN,
BEERS ATTAINED?
Their presence in the Legislature has
been Of no benefit whatever to the DEM
ocratic party or to the welfare Of the
State. On the contrary, In many instan-
ces they have connived at the plumber
ing schemes Of the Radical members
and not ,unfrequently participated in
the spoils. They have all been made to
sustain a certain share Of all the odium
that attaches to the legislation Of this
State. Among other things the Demo
cratic members failed to do was:
/. To modify the registration and cleo
ton laws. x,t-... .....,
2. To repeal the printing bill.
8. To repeal the slaughterhouse bill.
4. To obtain q fair and constitutional
apportionment. I'd. .-...
s. To defeat the social equality bill.
6. To restrict, the State debt.
7. To protect the State Treasury from
the fingers Of thieves.
s. To repeal the Metropolitan Police
bill. .5, at.* -.tr e.
8. To reduce the taxation.
10. To divide the Republican party.
These are some Of the things that the
Democratic members have failed to do,
Notwithstanding their boasted inten-
lions Of accomplishing a great deal for
the party and State by cooperating with
the Warmoth faction Of the Republican
party. They have sadly failed in eve
rything. s..r-,

Where Has 1t Been3

The Daily Shreveport Gazette, of the
26th ultimo, reached US only last night,
making ten days out. How il it posi-
BILE, without the grossest dereliction Of
duty upon the part Of post-masters, that
such delays as this should occur? The
distance to Shreveport is 10 miles, time
a6 hours; but post-masters, asleep on
watch, increase both until they exceed
the time and distance to San Francisco.
There is no decent or plausible excuse
for such official negligence, and we hope
to see the Post-ofice Department, now
that plenty OF men can be found who
are able to qualify, ship some Of its ire
sponsible, dictatorial and lazy postal
agents and put active and reliable men
in their place. The service in this por.
ton Of the Stateis, in the main, q farce,
a cheat and an imposition. Ifthe Post
master General bea man and an honest
official, he will cause a reform to be
started and something to be done which
will elevate his Department in the eyes
Of the people from its present disgrace
full attitude.

The Supreme Court Of the United

notes, commonly called 0ree,a6achs, are
exempt from all State, county and mu-

twenty bonds are. No Assessor has the
right to require an account of the num-
Der or amount Of them, held by the citi-
zen, for purposes of taxation.
The above important item we clip
from the Cincinnati Enquirer. The
statement being true, the poor man
with few greenbacks is able to Offset q
little the rich man with his pocket full
of bonds. Taxpayers will remember
that money on hand in greenbacks is

THE CROP OF 1879.

The planting season is here, and we
presume the plans are being laid and
the proportions Of cotton and grain ar
ranged. 1t might be the part Of wis
dom for the planter to stop and think
before he fully natures his plans.
Can you make cotton at 12A cents per
pound? You answer US, "The next
crop, will sell for more" Let us see:
1t is now almost certainty that the
crop of 10 will be 100000 bales, for
which the producer receives the sum
of 12A cents per pound. This leaves the
planters Of the South without dollar
profit, and many of them bankrupt.
If the same course is pursued, will the
crop Of III be less? Will it not be
much more? You must admit that the
labor is largely increasing. The native
population of the cotton belt Is increas-
ing rapidly-thousands Of boys and
young men of both races are annually
swelling the labor at home-the COL
ored sisters are going back TO the field,
and many of the fair daughters Of the
South are making themselves indepen-
dent at the plough and the hoe. The
border States are flooding us with their
negro population-fcrty thousand hav-
ing passed Through Chattanooga in one
season. Then comes the increase Of the
Irish, Germans, scandinavians, Chi
nese, and even Africa is sending some
of her native-boRn sons to let W know
she still exists. With this increase of
labor, will not the next cotton crop be
near Ave million bales? Add to the
labor the Improvement of the soil by
fertilizers and the improvements in
agricultural implements, and the con-
clusion is irresistible that the crop will
never be less, and almost equally Ger
tain that twill be more.
Again: The entire crop Of 1870 win
be about 5000, 900 bales-not counting
China. 1t is thought by the best COM
mercial writers that there will be on
hand the first Of next September about
100000 bales. This being true, even
with half crop Of II, we cannot prom
ise ourselves more than 124 cents. Our
judgment is, that the planter will never
again realize 124 cents per pound for his
cotton-that the price will fuctuate be-
tween 7 and IL cents, and that the crop
will annually increase. r..
Now, can you make cotton at these
figures? You answer, 81 cannot, but
if everybody makes corn it will be
worth nothing" Let us ask you, Have
you ever had bushel of corn or a
pound Of bacon that you could not sell
Look back, and tell US when corn and
meat were burthens in the South? But
suppose you cannot sell your meat and
corn, it is better to have these things
even, than to make cotton with an ac-
tual loss Of capital.

A SENATORIAL FALsEHooD.-While in
Columbia, last week, we were told, by q
Republican in high official position. that
Senator Scott, on his return to TINT city
from his Ku Klux investigating tour,
stated that Mr.. d. c.. Gist could not be
found while the committee we're sitting
in Union, consequently n summons could
not be served upon him until the com
mittee had closed its session aud were
about I'd leave the town. Ii Senator
Scott, or any other person did report
that, and we have reason to believe he
did, he reported IL wilfnl, base and un-
blushing falsehood. Mr.. Gist lives about
seven miles from town, and although his
wife was lying dangerously i'll, he came
into the village OH the morning Of each
day that the committee we're here, walked
the streets openly and alone. as other
persons did, on purpose to be- ready to
obey the summons Of the committee if
it was served upon him. We say this
upon our own responsibility. for we saw
him often during the time, and can pro-
duce the testimony Of hundreds of good
men, Of both parties, to corrobornte the
statement Between l l aud IL o'clock,
on the night before the committee left
as Mr.. Gist was leaving the Masonic
Lodge room, the Sergennt-at-Arms of
the United States Senate notified him
to meet the committee in Columbia tho
next day.
Mr.. Gist went to the cars the next
morning and told the committee TINT he
had been in town anring their invcstiga-
ton here, ready and willing to testify,
but the condition of his wife would not
allow him to leave her ut thut time. He
used no profane or defiant language to
them, AS Senator Scott reported in Co
lumbia. That he rode into town in com
paDy with some friends, on the morning
tie committee left, is true, but neither
he nor his friends had firearms Of any
| kind, nor was he defiant in word or
action. and Scott's report on this point
is equally as false ns the report TINT he
could not be found. But there is an
other fact connected with this which We
think, puts the conduct of the commit
tee in very disgraceful light. A mem
Der of the Republican party, here, who
was supposed to be in the confidence OF
the Republican members Of the commit
tee. advised Mr.. Gist not to 90 to Co
lumbia. ns he heard those members say
they did not want his testimony, but
wished to get him in Columbia, where he
could not get bail after he was arrested.
Ine Whole ofendlng OF Mr.. u. @. Gist,
against the diguity of tho Ku Klux
Committee, "hath this extent-no
more;" but when man. holding the po-
sition of United States Senator, stoops
30 low in party infamy. and 80 disgraces
the State he pretends to represent, rs to
tell downright fnlsehood against pri-
vate citizen for the purpose of making
party capital. and to prejudice the peo-
pie and the Government against citizens
OF certain sections of the country, we
think it is time for tho people 20 take the
matter i'll hand aud put down the party
that would support and encourage such
disgraccful conduct Union Tines

ARE We IS WAR or PEACE?-Informa-
ton reaches us that squad Of United
States soldiers. under command Of n
Deputy United States Marshal, went to
the residence of J. Banks Lyles, one
morning last week, to arrest him Capt
Lyles was not ut home, and the soldiers
broke down doors and behaved in yery
nnmanly manner. They rode their
horses into the front yard, took corn
from Capt. Lyles' crib and fed their
animals there. Capt. t. is principal of
large mule academy, and when The
squad arrived, the breakfast for the
students was either on the table or ready
to be put there. This the soldiers took
forcible possession of and ate it up. If
this report is true, wo think it the great
est outrage pcrpetrated upon my one
individual in this State, since Shcrman's
bummers left. Such conduct is allowed
in times Of war, but cannot be tolerated
in time OF profound peace.
The recent arrests in Spartnnbnrg
have been accomplished too pencenbly
aud quietly for tho Radicals in this State.
The leaders are disappointed and cha
grined Mt finding that our people aro
ready and willing to submit peaceably to
the Federal authority. They hoped to
find resistance to that authority in South
Cnrolina. and in that way bolster up the
Infamous lies they have issued against
us. They, however. are determined to
do something that humanity cnnnot sub.
nit to, in order to force resistance,
even though it comes from women and
children, SO that they may howl it into
willing ears, ns corroboration of their
devilish lies. .- Union Times.
