lucky. He declares that when the
books of the Navy, the Postofice, the
Interior and other Departments pass in

an exhibit Of rottenness will be made
as will astound the world. He says the
heads OF those Departments would soon

right OF succession to his sou, than see
the evidence OF their guilt pass into the

The National Committee Of the La
Dor Party is on hand for the next

plete the organization Of the National
Labor Party.
"In pursuance whereof the committee
appointed for this purpose met in the
city of Washington, D. c., January IL,
1871, and fixed the rule OF representa-
ton in said Convention as follows:
Each State to be entitled 10 one del
egate for each member and Senator in
the Congress OF the United States, and
one delegate for each Territory and the
District OF Columbia.
Delegates shall have the certificate

THE PROBABLE CANDIDATES.
This Convention will assemble one
week after the election in Ohio and
Pennsylvania, and it is useless TO dis
guise the fact, will be formidable and
important. Governor Geary is at this
moment the most advanced candidate
for the Presidency Of the labor organi-
zation, and he may succeed in obtaining
such prominence in this direction as to
force the Radical party to buy him of
with the Vice Presidency on the ticket
with Grant.

The Statesman Of last Thursday morn

We shall indulge in no close calcula,
tions as to the results-it is too early ;
but of one thing we feel certain, in
common with the best Informed men
Of our party, and that is this: If
the Democrats get out their vote, as
appearances now indicate that they will,
we shall carry the State ticket and the
Legislature both. We believe the party
is alive 10 the fact that victory is with
in it's reach. 1t is united and hopeful

discouraged Aside from Office geek.
ers and politicians, whose bread and
butter is involved, there is a general
feeling OF disappointment and dissatis-
faction in their party with the Grant
administration. This cannot be hon
estly disputed. We might say the feel.
ing OF disappointment is universal next
comes that OF dissatisfaction and disgust
both widespread. 1t is fact pretty
we'll understood that, at the October
elections in Ohio and Pennsylvania,
many Republicans will absent them
selves from the polls or vote the Demo

A CHAPTER IN FOUR PARTS
Part l.-Judicial.

MEMPHIS, July PA special dis
patch from Little Rock to the Appeal
says some time ago Senator Mason &c ol-
ored.) was appointed probate judge of
Chicot county. Afterwards, Mason not
being considered good friend OF Clay
ton, Major Raglaud (white,) OF Jeffer-
son was appointed in his stead, and
Mason refused to give up his office.
The county court met and the sheriff
refused to obey Mason's order, when
the latter had him put in jail, raised a
company of militia and run Ragland
and Barbour (negro), newly imported
assessor, out Of the county. Since then
efforts have been made to compromise
with Mason, but with no effect. On the
l7th, court met at Lake Village, and
Ragland again made his appearance,
when Mason brought into town 400
armed negroes and went for him. Rag
lands party withdrew, leaving Mason
master of the situation. Friends Of
Ragland are now here in conference
with the Governor.
Part II-ReligiOus.
White, a colored statesman, was
before the court OF impeachment of the
Baptist convention, but he denied juris-
diction, and the court held the denial
to be good. The liquorice senator is a
friend of Clayton's.
Part III-POlitical.
Indignation is being manifested here
at the discovery that the militia are
being carefully drilled for active service
throughout the State. The fact that it
was in pursuance Of orders from Exec
utive headquarters, leaked out through
a weak minded editor of Radical
country paper The Gazette of to-mor-
row will contain the following
A well informed Republican told us
there would be a movement OF this
kind; that the militia was to be
thoroughly organized all over the State;
every officer unfriendly to the State
administration was to be mustered out
and others appointed; there was to be
a thorough and complete organization
by the next election, that the frauds
they expect to commit could be done
with impunity.
Part Iv-"AbsOrptiOn."
The county court met to-day. a mo-
ton was made to elect new county
attorney. The aspirants are Pugh, for
mer city attorney, and one Cunningham.
Wheeler (negro), the presentincumbeut
had the most friends in the board Of
magistrates, and his opponenta turned
their batteries on the court Mr.. Pugh
declared he had long had possession OF
proof that the county Judge and Clerk
had absorbed $4,000 OF pubic money,
and Mr.. Cunningham also asserts that
another sum of S21 900 has gone the
same way. The court adjourned in a
fight and confusion, without coming to
an election, but will meet again on
Monday and will probably throw Wheel
er overheard. Pugh lost his position
as city attorney by being implicated in
election frauds in this county last au-
tumn. Some rich Developments will
probably be made in day or two, as
Pugh and Cunningham declare that
Wheeler must 90 out.
