Take Notice.

We are informed that in number
of the Radical counties, there was
failure of Clerks and Inspectors of
Election to subscribe the required oath
before receiving the ballots. We have
assumed that this is an irregularity which
should not operate to defeat the clearly
expressed will Of the voters, particularly
when it cannot be shown that illegal
votes were cast. The constitutional
right of the people to vote in the cleo
tons, is the supreme law of Republican
government overriding all questions of
mere form. But inasmuch as it has
been proposed by the Radical schemers to
institute a different rule in some of the
counties where it will suit their purposes
to do so, we propose that it shall be made
to operate generally and not specially
Let Conservative candidates in the Radi-
cal counties, take notice and act on this
suggestion.

! The Ubiquitous gerrymander, devised
by the Radical spoilsmen in the late Legis-
lature, as their refuge from the storm OF
popular wrath which they well knew
their wickedness would produce-has Sc
cured them the ascendency by frail
tenure in the Legislature for yet little
while. In that body the Conservatives
will have no power to enact a system OF
wholesome laws; but, by activity, concert,
and constant attention and application to
their duties, they will have the capacity
to check the abuses of the spoilsmen, to
expose their misdeeds, to deprive them
of the power to do serious mischief until
the people can again be heard
But in many of the counties the case is
different. The Conservatives have sue
ceeded in choosing msjorities in the
Boards of Supervisors. These Boards
were all elected on pledge of Reform.
They can do vast deal in the way of re-
lief for the taxpayers. They should re-
duce taxes. Abolish sinecures. Turn their
faces against extravagant appropriations.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars have
been squandered by fraudulent bridge con-
tracts for which the taxpayers have new
er received an equivalent. And large
expenses have been incurred under the
pretence of supporting paupers, when in
truth the Radicals were pampering idle
ness and spending money for the. benefit
of vagabonds who would not earn their
own living.
In word, there are thousand leaks |
which have been sprung by the Radical
Wreckers on the county Treasures, that
must be stopped. A great responsibility |
rests upon the new Board of Supervis-
ors in the Conservative counties. Much |
is expected of them; and we trust they |
will enter upon their work with an eye
solely to the public good and with cast
ron faces against every scheme which
has personal advantage and not the gen
eral welfare, for its aim. In word, the
people expect Retrenchment and Re
form. Let our new Boards 90 to work
With this purpose in view, and let their
light not be hid under bushel.

Death Of DIR. A. ~. Cabmni~-.

DIR. A. b. Cabaniss breathed his last
on Tuesday night, the Dist inst, and
was buried from the Episcopal Church,
on Wednesday, at 4 o'clock P. NJ. He
was one of our oldest and most respected
citizens, and his death is much lamented.
As physician he stood high in his pro-
fession; and az n citizen he was conscien-
tous in the performance of every duty
imposed upon him. As a public servant,
in the capacity of Confederate Surgeon
in charge of this post during the war,
and as superintendent of the Lunatic
Asylum afterwards, he proved himself
not only eminently qualified, but his con-
slant and unremitting attention to his
charges gained for him indeed an envia-
bic reputation. His distressed family
have our deepest sympathy in their
afflction.

Attorney General of Mississippi.
To His Excellency:
j. L. ALCoRN, Governor.
The Sc Organizer i'm "A New Role.
From the Enterprise Courier.


Be it known to the world and the rest
of mankind that the Indiana Auditor of
the State of Mississippi, more generally
known by the self assumed title of the
Great Organizer, entertained special
care for the success of the Radicals In
Clark county. For the accomplishment
of this end, he came to Clark county
Monday, met the colored people at
Bynums during the day, and at the Co
lored peoples Church in this city at night.
Tuesday morning, thinking he had set
tied affairs in Enterprise, he got on the
train, intending to go to Shubuta and
fix things up, down there; arriving
at DeSoto, he stopped to see colored
friend, and was returning, when the train
moved off, he started in full pursuit,
crying at every step ''stOp Mr.. Conduc-
tor you have passenger aboard that you
have left behind" but the train would not
stop worth cent, but sped onward as fast
as steam could carry it, and it is said that
the =" Organizer reached Shubuta only
fifteen minutes after the arrival of the
train
Should Weston fail to put in his APP
pearance at the State Fair, we suggest
that the Organizer" be requested to
supply his place.

Gentlemen-Inclosed with this send YOU
the opinion of the Attorney General as to
whether the recent election is special or
general. My respect for the legal learning
and ability of that gentleman leads me to
question my own rendering OF the law as
TO the character of the election and the
qualification of officers elect. but does not
satisfy Inc fully ia case where an errone-
Gus decision may lead to so much inconye-
nience to the public service.
Officers elect will claim the right az the
case now stands, to qualify at once. and any
denial or opposition to this will. in that
event, may lead to much confusion. On this
point am specially anxious to obtain
satisfactory declaration OF the law-one
that the bar OF the State will acquiesce in.
Under all these circumstances | take leave.
after consulting with Judge Morris. TO re-
fer these important points to you, and make
the reference, trusting that the individual
expense and the public injury OF litigation
in the case may be avoided by the universal
acquiescence which, it is hoped, will be Civ
en- to the concurrent Judgment of lawyers
so eminent as yourselves amongst the mem
bers of the bar of the State.

respectfully, j. L. ALCoRN.

Truly Loyal OutIawry, but no
Martial LAW.

There have been several occurrences
lately in the truly loyal State of Indi-
ana, which is represented in the u. S.
Senate by the very oracle of Mr.. Grant,
that are without parallel in atrocity.
In one of these cases party of the
Nations Wards" amused themselves by
the butchery of an entire family, consist
ing of a pan, his wife, their son and two
daughters. The family were in good
circumstances-their standing as respect
able as any in the county in which they
resided. The man was represented to
have been singularly upright, honorable
and peaceable. He was a God-fearing
man, and was so much esteemed by his
neighbors that he had not an enemy
among them. In the dead hour of night,
while all the inmates of his house were
asleep, it was invaded and the family put
to death under circumstances of indescri-
bable cruelty. The suspected parties
were arrested and imprisoned.
The sequel of the horror is told as
follows:
INDIANAPOLIS, IND, Nov. 1.-THE Vigil
lane Committee at Charlestown numbered
about seventy. They came to the Jail about
l O'Clock A. M. and demanded the keys OF
the TAILOR aud sheriff, which were refused
They then took blacksmiths' tools and tore
open the Jail coors- cut the hinges aud broke
the locks. and placed ropes around the necks
- q Ia r.rso1 nj fhnE, asnA
half miles from the town, on the Lexington
roadI Taylor and johnson were hung on
one tree and Davis on another. The Nigi-
lance Committee all wore masks.
There were only thirty-three men at the
Jail, but there were a hundred in the woods
where the hanging was done.
Now, as may well be imagined, this
drama of blood created no little commo-
ton among the people in whose very
faces it was enacted; but on the surface
of the SUPERFICIAL Radical authorities
who administer martial law snd imprison
Southern men, women and children by
the wholesale, upon suppOsitious "rebel-
lion," it has not created ripple. The
authorities are not only indifferent to the
original atrocity, but they make no COM
plant of the administration of Ku-Klux
law for its punishment 1t is evident
that in their estimation Indiana Ku-Klux-
ism is very different thing from South
Carolina or Mississippi Ku-Kluxism.
In Indiana they are sublimely indifferent
to whatever takes place.
Not go in the reconstructed" PROV
'inces. The other day, at Artesia, band
of drunken, Infatuated rowdies were
turned loose by their carpet-bag leaders
on an unofending young man whom they
slaughtered without provocation; and
the of1icers who arrested the murderers
were themselves arrested in turn by the
agents of the "best government" and
carried a-hundred miles or more and re-
quired to give excessive bail for their APP
pearance at Court, or remain in durance
vilance, for presuming to interfere
with the innocent pastime Of the
"Wards."

At Brandon, Rutland county, Yer
mont, is a well that remains frozen all the
year round. Much curiosity has been
excited by by the phenomenon; and
numerous explanations have been given
to account for it. Twelve years ago a
committee of the Boston Society OF
Natural History was appointed to in
vestigate the subject. Tie committee
has adopted every possible means to cause
the ice to melt, but without effect. The
conclusion arrived at by the committee is
that the gravel bed in which the ice is
found was frozeIt long ago by the cold Of
a rigorous winter, and that the summer
hoat has never since been able to pcne-
tratc sufficiently for to overcome the
cold.

The stale Fair.

The prospects for the State Fair which
opens on Monday, December 4th, are
certainly very encouraging. If favored
with good weather, complete success is
certain. Fast and fine horses have al
ready arrived, and others viii be in next
week. There will be several competitors
for the $500 purse on four-mile race.
There will be fine show of cattle, swine
and poultry. The display Of machinery,
agricultural implements, etc, also prom
ises to be very extensive. A large num-
Der of exhibitors will come from New
Orleans Immediately after the close Of
the Fair now being held in that city.
Cotton continues to arrive. The Associ-
alton will receive and properly care for
all that may be shipped. Railroads pass
everybody at half rates. Special trains
on four days between Magnolia and Can
ton.

q TwO.ESlgees sword.

Precisely the grounds on which it is
proposed by the defeated Radical candi-
dates and their partisan abettors to set
aside the elections in Newton. Copiah
and other counties, exist in Kinds, War
rem, and number of other counties hav-
ing large Radical representations. What
is sauce for the goose is sauce for the
gander. If the rule of setting aside the
clearly expressed will of the legal voters
on mere matters of form, be applied mt
all, it must be carried out in all cases.
From present appearances it will unques-
tionably operate TO deprive the Mongrels
of what little there is left Of their once
boosted majority in the Legislature

The Newly Elected O0icers---The
Law amd the Testimony

The whole correspondence on the sub
ject of the time fixed BY law for the in
stallation of the officers chosen by the
people at the late election, is published
in this paper In order 10 furnish pre-
text for his revolutionary proceeding in
overriding the Constitution and laws, and
prolonging the official terms of the per
sons who were appointed by the Execu-
tive-the Governor has undertaken, con-
trary to all precedent, to set aside the
opinion of the law officer of the State
government and 10 take refuge in the
opinion of members of the bar who hap
pen to have concurred with him.
The attitude of the Governor is revo-
lutionary, because it sets at defiance the
judgment of the officer whose opinion, by
revered custom based upon the law crea-
ting it, has decided points of doubtful
construction for the heads of depart
ments of the State government, until adj
Indicated by the Courts 1t is revolu-
tlonary, because II tramples upon the
Constitution anil laws, and for the time
being creates body of officers unknown
TO either.
The perfectly irrefulable demonstra-
tions and inevitable conclusion therefrom,
set forth in the opinion of the Attorney
General, warrants us thus to character
ize the conduct of the Governor, and
the conviction that the opinion
of the able lawyers under which he has
taken shelter was evidently formed upon
precipitate and one-sidcd view of the sub
jet. If the authority of learned and
eminent counsel be needed to fortify the
legal adviser OF the Governor in his CON
struction of the law and his cogent ap-
peal for its faithful execution by the |
Governor, it is, rs we have stated, album
1antIy provided in the concurring opin-
ons Of such lawyers as Messrs. j. u. |
George, Potter, Watson, Featherston,
and others.

invest with darker hue the conduct of
