MISSISSIPPI STATE FAIR.
Postponed so Monday. November
I3Ih.

In view of the absurd and Ease re-
norris relative to the health Of the City OF
jackson. which have been industriously
circulated, the Board of Control OF the
State Fair Association, yields to what
seems to be a general wish to postpone
the Fair for few weeks. The Fair has,
consequently been postponed until Mo''-
dan. Norember 1871. The premiums
heretofore offered, and the programme
for the week, already published, will be
duly paid and fully observed.
The preparations for the Exhibition
are all completed, but the few weeks
postponement will enable the Association
Officers to perfect details, and will enable
hundreds to exhibit who reported that
they did not have time to get ready.
Machinery, Cotton and other heavy
articles will be received at any time, and
will be securely housed until the exhi-
bition opens.
Send for circulars, giving full details as
as to transportation on the several Rail
roads.
BY order of the Board.

HVAX-PAYERS are hereby notified to
II come forward and pay Taxes for the
fiscal year, 1871, as they are now due.
J. d. HARRIS,
Tax Collector, r. Co.
We will venture to assert that the con-
dition of the people considered, the law
under which these notices were served on
them, is the most cruel, the most
cold-blooded and heartless oppression of
the sort that was ever known. Its franz
ers well knew the circumstances under
which the collection was made in the
spring and summer. They heard the
appeals of the people for relief; and
while these petitions were ringing in their
ears they imposed another tax to be col
lected the present year. And the harpies
intent on gorging themselves, tortured
their ingenuity to guard against the pos
sibility of relief by providing that the en-
tire diabolical machinery of collection,
damages, etc.-should be put in opera
ton before another law could be passed
for the benefit of the taxpayers. To
block up every avenue of escape from
the consequences of its enforcement, the
people are denied the time-honored right
of remedy by injunction through the
Courts.
But where there is will there is
way! If the people viii elect a Legis- !
ature in sympathy with them-and dis |
,ard the rule of the selfish adventures
who are concerned only to make their
OWN fortunes-some measure will he
speedily devised for their relief. This is
heir last-their only hope

Representatives from Carroll county, two

gives Carroll but two Representatives,

is allowed one Representative and the
district composed of the counties of Mont
gomery and Choctaw is given one. This

RADICAL FIyANCEERENG.


The fearful reality of which we have
spoken, has come home to the taxpayers
of the State For the first time since
the organization of their government,
they have double taxes to pay in a single
year. And the two ievies combined, ag-
gregate at least TEN TIMES as much taxes
as they have ever paid before in one year.
Each levy quintuples the ante-bellum
tax; and here it is one, piled upon the
other Before the impoverished tax
payers have succeeded in paying the
money they have borrowed the present
season from their merchants to save their
property from sale under the Sherifs'
hammer, the tax-collector is again on
their tracks, laundering in their startled
ears the memorable demand of the Rad
cal cormorants that another collection
must be made.
How this last demand is to be met
they know not Their crop has fallen
distressingly short; and their merchants,
having come to their relief last summer,
are not able to carry them through
another season. The wholesale sacrifice
of property, in spite of all their efforts to
avert the catastrophe seems inevitable
unless a change of rulers can be effected.
Below we have copied number OF
published notices from the officers charg-
ed with the collection of the tax. l. will
be seen that they are notifying the IN
fortunate victims of the law which they
are executing, that unless the demands
are promptly complied with, damage.

Let the taxpayers read for themselves:

Dawson aG ScOObn.
We have devoted a large space to a
letter addressed to Gov. Alcorn, relating
all the particulars of the horrible ASSES
sinatiOn of young II. w. Dawson al
Scooba, Kemper county, on the 4th inst'
The letter is written by leading he-
publican who has selected The CLARION
as the medium of communicating Win
the Governor and the public under the
apprehension that containing whole
some truths, it would not be admitted
into the Radical papers.
This recital will thrill with horror the
most callous heart and awaken indiSna-
ton in the mind of every friend OF Law
and order.
From the statement, it will be seen
that Dawson was enticed into the store
of Gilmer where a double-barrel shot
gun in the hands of an assassin, full
charged, was cooked and ready for him
and that after he fell, and while IN the
agonies of death, the brute Gilmer, who
is refugee from Alabama for killing
freedman, deliberately fired two other
balls into his head. And further, that
Chisholm the Sheriff had made every
preparation to meet the assassins on the
way to DeKalb; to give them a warm
greeting-to prevent their arrest--to Sc
cure them from imprisonment--and see
that they are not brought to fair trial.
All the facts show one of the foulest,
most cold-blooded and deliberate consPi-
racies ON record TO murder human
being and to prevent the perpetrators
from being brought to justice.
Gilmer, one of the murderers according
to this statement, has gone SO far as to
boast that he has acted upon assurances
from the Governor that he would not be
molested for the Preparation OF crimes
of this character if his victims be not OF
the party to which the Governor belongs.
1t is certain that the official Chisholm,
who is published as a coward and a
swindler, and is an appointee OF the
Governor, has acted in way to encour-
age the belief that for this attroclous
crime Gilmer and his associate, Davis,
will not be dealt with as the offended
majesty of the law requires.
Coupled with this narrative of horrors
in the case of the taking the life of Hal.
Dawson, is the arrest without warrant
of fifteen citizens of Scooba, who are
thrown into prison while the murderers
are in the full enjoyment oftheir liberty.
We shall see what action will be taken
by the Governor who is sworn to execute
the laws and in virtue of whose commits
sion Chisholm has acted. Meantime,
let the friends of law and order note the
facts set forth by the writer of the com
munication, and mark what mockery
of civil government Radical reconstruc-
ton has shown itself to be. What other
fruits could be expected from the reign
of party which is founded in the spirit
of Prescription and which lives by infu-
sing the poison of Hate into the minds
of its devotees
