CLAIB )RNE HARRIS, afte- an illness of six
weeks. He was born i'm North Carolna on
the 10th OF March, 1898; and consequently
lived seventy-four years, two months and
seventeen days. He emigrated to Tennes-
see at an early age; removed to Mississippi
in 1886, and has resided in the State ever
since, discharging the duties OF peaceable
and good citizen. In all the relations of life
he acquitted himself well. He was respect
ed by the community-cherished bv his
friends-belOved and hOnored by his family.
His regular habits and sobriety in all things,
had SO protected his constitution and pre-
served his strength of body and vigor of
mind, against the rayages which attend
advancing years, that although he had
passed beyond the period OF life allotted by
the Psalmist, there were grounds of hope
that many days would yet have been spared
TO him on earth. For a long period he had
been member of the Methodist Church !:
and in his latest years he had devoted him
self with great earnestness to his religious
duties and in preparing for the future life,
SO that when summoned to enter upon
Eternity, death had no terrors for him.
he had made his calling and election sure.
He had fought the good fight. He had
finished his course. He had kept the faith.

proove that DR.. Pierce, the proprietor of DR..
Sage's Catarrh Remedy, is in earnest and
means what he says, when he offers $500
reward for any case Of Catarrh which he
cannot cure, yet there would be some skep-
tics and fogies who would continue 10 shout.

as .,slapjack," and does not turn over
otherwise the water would all be spilled ont
OF Deacon Bascom's mill pond. But astro.
nomical science has positively demonstra-
ted and proven that DIR. HOmespun Is
wrong in supposing this earth TO be far

provingst the fact that he is no less mistaken
and behind the times in regard 10 the cura-
bility of Catarrh. In short, it has been
positively proven that this world naOces. and
that medical science is proqressfre-the

The proceedings of the County Con
vention in Adams, which was held Nav
3Oth, for the purpose of appointing dele
gates to the State Convention, came to
hand too late for this issue. The reso-
lutions adopted have the following patri-
otto sentiment:
We express our willingness to Law aside
the ties of and supposed obligations of party.
ana vote for any man who may be recon-
mended to us by the Baltimore Convention
as honest. capable, and faithful" without
regard to his previous party affiliations.
A motion to strike out the last clause.
which was made by Judge Montgomery,
and ably opposed by the old hero Gen.
Charles Clark, was lost. The Courier
which is in favor of straightout ticket
says There are points in the resolu-
''tions which we do not endorse" The
Democrat, which advocates the endorse
ment of the Greeley ticket, by the Bal.
umore Convention is perfectly satisfied
with the resolutions.

Letter from Gen. Frank Blair TO
Citizen of Selma, Alabama,
i'm which He Presents
Sound Views

From the Times.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., May 2l. 1872.
JOSEPH +. JOHNSTON, Selma, Ala:
DEAR SIR:-I have yours of the 18th.
entirely agree with you in thinking that
the south, which alone can cast an electoral
vote for the Democratic party, should have
its say on the present phase of politics.
L agree with you also in thinking that it
Is useless and worse than useless, to UNDER
take TO ru:. straight Democratic ticket.
Even If it were possible TO elect, the candi-
date would be counted out, and if not
counted ont would be powerless to do ANY,
thing with the Senate against him.
In my opinion, the Tennessee lead should
be followed by every Southern State. IL
cannot be concealed that the South is for
Greeley, and is for him not as an expedient
TO obtain power over the Federal Govern
ment, put as a means TO obtain peace and
the restoration OF good relations between
the citizens of the Southern States. and be-
tween that section of the Union and
the North.
The election of Greeley will not be
sectional triumph. He will be supported
by both sections, and hence he will be the
representative of both, and will be able TO
restore fraIernal feeling.
Grant represents only the conQuerinV
section, and has no faith in the maintenance
of peace save by the sword. Local disor.
ders, which can only be suppressed by local
power, he makes the pretext ofsuppressing
local power itself. 1t is like curing "A tenn
porary lameness by cutting off a limb.
think the Southern States should all
declare for Greeley, but i'm doing so should
declare that they did so as a manifestation
OF their desire for peace, and the restora-
tloh OF harmony between the sections and
between the races, resident in the South.
ana with view TO inaugurating an era of
good feeling. Yours truly,
FRANK p. BLAIR.

senator Summers Terrific A.
raignmemI of Grant.

Sumner delivered four hours speech
IN the Senate ON the LIST. which is tn.
sensation of the hour. 1t was a CAREFUL,
prepared terrific arraignment of Grant
whom he declared to be a nepotist .
corruptionist, stupid blunderer and .
disgraceful failure. He revealed TO the
public for the first time, that + nj
Stanton on his death-bed, gave it as his
deliberate judgment that Grant was IN
capable of carrying on the government.
The following is the significant conclusion
of his speech:
nave mace the exposure of pretentions

tlons, every good citizen should wish ex-
plunged from history, but l had no alterna-
i've The President himself insists on nut-
ting them ia issue. For myself, say omen

This speech burns the bridge between
summer and Grant But viii he support
Greeley If he will throw his acknowl-
edged influence for the Cincinnati nomi-
nee he will in some measure repair the
immense damage he has done the coun-
try.

E.et mississippi speak with One
Voice.

1t has not escaped our attention that
several stanch Mississippi Democratic
journals have expressed their preference
for Straight-out nomination at Balti-
more. The DeSoto Times, Iuka Herald,
Oxford Falcon, Brookhaven Citizen,
Natchez Courier, Newton Ledger, South
ern States, and last, but not least, the
Brandon Republican (slightly) are that
way. The rest, comprising about forty,
are in favor Of cooperating with the
Liberals on the Cincinnati terms.
These differences of opinion, in our
own State, should be reconciled by re
ferring them to a common arbiter And
hence the necessity Of resolutions in the
State Convention, defining the policy of
the Anti-Radical party, so that she will
speak with all the moral influence of
united people in the National Convention.
And to make the declaration effective, it
should begin in the county meetings
Let the people speak in their primaries
so that the voice of the Convention will
be their echo.

LIGHT Reading and General News
THE NORTHERN NIETHODIsrs.


The most important work before the
General Conference of the Methodist
Episcopal Church was begun yesterday
by the election of five of the eight Blsh-
ops whom the conference voted 10 create;
the remaing three will, 1t is understood,
be chosen to-day. The Office is life
tenure, and is the highest one known IN
the most numerous religious denomi-
nations in this country. The character
and reputation of the men chosen\ yes
terday will fit them for their new posi-
| tions.
Rev. Thomas Bowman, ID. D., is ma
tive of Berwick, Pennsylvania, and
graduate of Dickinson college. For ten
wears he was the President of Dickinson
Seminary at Williamsport, Pennsylvania,
| and in 1859 he was elected President of
Asbury University at Greencastle, In
diana, where his hume now is. He is
very popular as a preacher and one of
| the prominent orators of the church.
Rev. William l.. Harris, ID. D., Ii,
! D., a native of Ohio, Is now nearly fifty
| five years old. He has been a member
| of the General Conference since 1856,
| during which time he has acted as Secre-
tary. After ten years of pastoral work
he was chosen principal of the Baldwin
Institute and afterwards a professor in
| the Ohio Wesleyan University. Sine
1860 he has been Assistant Missionary
Secretary of the General Conference.
Rev. Randolph ). Foster, ID. d., LII.
D., also native of Ohio, is now in his
fifty-third year. He was transferred TO
the New Y ork Conference in 1850, and
4 1a1 n -
| President of the Drew Theological
Seminary. DIR. Foster is well known as
an author, his most prominent works
| being his treaties ON ''Calvinism,
Christian Purity" and Ministry" and
his Lectures on Darwinianism"
Rev. Isaac w. Wiley, ID. d., was
born in Pennsylvania in 1925. He took
the degree of NJ. d. in 1916, and having
entered the conference in 1919, went to
China as missionary in 1850, where he
remained four years. In 1888 he was
chosen President of the Pennington New
Jersey Seminary, and in 1861 was ap-
pointed editor of the Ladies Repository,
position which he still retains. lie is
the author of " Fallen Heroes of Foo
chow" and ''Religion in the Family, "
and has edited a number of publications.
Rev. Stephen NJ. Merrill ID. D., was
born in Jefferson county, Ohio, in 1925.
lie entered the conference in 1916, and,
after many years labor as Presiding FL
der was appointed editor of the Western
Christian Advocate in 1868. His ESSAYS
on important theological questions and
difficult passages of Scripture have been
greatly praised.

The Free Traders organizing.

The dlsintegratlng process is still going
on in the Republican party which was
formed with special reference to the
slavery and territorial questions now set
tied, and which drew into its folds North
ern men who were divided on every other
issue, among others "A large class of Free
Traders, who are now forming themselves
into a separate political organization
headed by w. c. Bryant, Gen. j. A.
Dix, d. A. Wells, and some others not
so well known 20 fame. Though they
are Republicans they will not affiliate
with the Administration party, not only
because it does not concur with them on
the question of Free Trade, but on ac-
count of its policy of prescription, usurp-
alton and corruption and it will not
affiliate with the Liberals for the reason
that they did not make Free Trade their
speciality. As Republicans, they will not
join the Democratic party on account of
the odium which attaches to it in the
North on account of its anti-War record.
Consequently these Free Trade -Republi-
cans have set up for themselves, to run
the machine on their own account and to
ride their own hobby. As the people of
the South are more interested in having
Free States-Freedom of Speech-and
Freedom from the usurpations and cru
elites of Military Despotism-than in
Free Trade-they will of course go with
the Liberals, though they cannot but
wish the Free Traders well in their deliy-
erance from the shackles of Grantism.

NORTH CAROLINA PoLIrIcs.-A
North Carolina correspondent writes that
among Democrats and Conservatives
IN North Carolina, there is but one
''opinion ON the subject of a national
democratic ticket, and that is that
"none should be put in the field. A
majority of the conservatives were to-
tally opposed to the holding of the Con-
''vention at Baltimore, but now that it
must be held it is strongly hoped that
that body will be sensible enough to
endorse the Cincinnati nominees and
tremendously adjourn" This is the
Pervadlng sentiment of Democrats and
Conservatives in Virginia, Tennessee.
Kentucky, Missouri, Texas and other
reliable anti-Radical Southern States.

there is considerable feeling in favor of a

The Tools Of the ADMINISTRATORS
By the official documents transferred

the public will discover the sort of tools
employed by the Administration to
prosecute its war Of persecution and its
schemes of plumber against the prescribed
classes of this State 1t viii be seen that
one I'll. Voshay. acting U. S. Marshal,
arrested a number Of persons in North
Mississippi, some on charges of violating
The enforcement Act and others the
Revenue Law-and then released them
for a money value. They were clear
cases Of bribery and corruption. The
presumption is that this man and his
accomplices procured the arrests on
charges manufactured for the occasion,
for the purpose of extorting money; and
that the parties who were thus victimized
were wholly innocent Of the ofenses al

buttons on the government for working
up cases in the interest of Radicalism as
pretext for the prosecution of the war !;
and again, they extort money from their
impoverished victims.
This terrible system has grown to be
a monstrous abuse for the reform of
