The n. Y. Times Grant organ)
charges that Mr.. Greeley will embrace
the following objects in his Administra-
ton policy, if elected:
First Payment of the Confederate war
debt from the Federal Treasury.
Second. Pensioning the Confederate sol
diers.
OF course this is manufactured for par
tisan consumption. 1t is designed to
fire the Northern heart; and is encour-
aging because it is proof of the despera-
ton of the Grant leaders. We do not
put so low an estimate on the credulity
of the classes to whom such an argument
is addressed as to believe that it will have
feathers weight 1t has not entered
into the minds of any supporter of Mr..
Greeley in the Southern States that he
is in favor of paying their war debt.
They do not desire it. The 18th Con-
stitutionaI amendment settles the ques-
ton but if that clause were out Of the
way they would still not favor any prop
osition of the kind. The second charge
is no less groundless. The Confederate
soldiers" do not ask pensions They are
supporting Mr.. Greeley from higher mo-
tives. They can make their own living
if the government will relieve them of
burdensome taxes and bayonet rule, and
the gangs of adventures who have been
pensi0ned on the proceeds of their toll by
the Grant Administration. Having sur
rendered their arms to the national au-
thority more than seven years ago, they
desire to be permitted to enjoy substan-
tial peace under a government which, in
its dealings with the people, will mete
out equal and exact justice to men of
every section. This is Mr.. Greeley's pol
icy, and this is the consideration on which
he will receive the support of "Confeder-
ate soldiers"

THE CorToN GRoP. The Macon ga.
Messenger, in view of the ravages of the
cotton fields by the caterpillar thinks
''rhe chances are that the crop will be
Fighter than last year"
The following item is copied from a
late Selma Ala Times:
The worms have attacked the cotton crop
around Marion Junction. and are literally
stripping the fields. One-fonrth less cotton
is expected TO be made this season than last
year.
And the following is from the Vicks-
burg Herald;
The cotton worm is playing sad havoc
with the fieecy staple in the Southern end
of the county. a gentleman who came up
Yesterday from Port Gibson informs us he
passed place just aft 7 crossing Big Black.
two acres of which was literally stripped.

The COrtOnCroD.

We have continued in another column
the reports of the cotton crop, furnished
by the press of the State. 1t will be
seen that the caterpillar is still on the
increase that it has done considerable
damage and that the gloomiest appre-
tensions of its ravages are INDUCED by
the planters. Meantime the market still
droops under the effect of the false state
ments that have been sent out by inter-
ested parties in relation to the extent of
the crop. The Liverpool market is quo
ted dull, and prices have gone down to
1911 cents per ID. in New Orleans The
falling off of receipts at all the ports in
the United States for the year 1871, as
with 1872, is 1 1863, 562 bales.

There can be no effective work without
organization. The opposers of Grant
ism,-the synonym of oppression and
plumber, should be up and doing if
they intend to carry Mississippi for Gree
lev and Brown in November. Every
county should have its central club and
its affiliated beat associations, all working
in harmony and moving forward to the
common end of polling the largest posi-
bic vote for the Reform candidates. The
white voters of the State were never SO
united in sentiment as they now are and
the masses of the colored people are will
ling to listen to reason, and to cooperate
if assured of their own political and civil
rights. They could not be expected to
do so, otherwise. Hence the necessity of
spreading the light and disabusing their
minds of the erroneous impressions
which the carpet-bag adventures have
labored without ceasing to produce in
order to advance their own selfish schemes.
There will be no ground to complain of
the impracticability of the colored voters,
if those who are better informed do not
take the trouble to enlighten and lead
them in kind and forbearing spirit.

One OF the most disorderly and Disgrace
FIJI political meetings ever held in New
York was the colores. debate tonight, at
Cooper Institute, between w. A. Saunders
for Greelry, and Rev. Highland Garnett
for Grant The audience was largely COM
posed OF negroes. including several tolored
Grant clubs. According To the programme.
Saunders, Greeley nam opened the debate
one hour being allotted TO him. but no SCOTT
er had he come forward than he was assail-
ed by boots and groaIIs. He maintained his
ground. how ever. for an hour, though it was
impossible To hear any one sentence. y mi
noritv in the hall cheered Greeley at first
but they were groaued down. An under
current OF Kisses followed Saunders re-
marks, while every half minute cheers
would be given by the Grant club. followed
Dy groans for Greeley. Summers name was
received with deateninG grOans. Whenever
one OF Saunders ideas reached the audience
twenty Interruptions were yelled back at
him. If he took drink of water, or wiped
his face with his handkerchief, insulting
ieers were heard on all sides. When Car
netL's turn came to address the meeting, the
scene changed as If by magic, his very ordi
nary Grant speech WAS hailed with enthu-
siasm and excitement. When he closed,
Saunders had half an hour to close the de-
bate, but the audience by this time had lost
all Vestagc of restraint, and groaned aud
yelled continuously. Saunders spoke for
twenty minutes in apparent dumbshow, but
then gave up the task.
As a debate, the meeting was Il complete
and shameful failure. the negroes being ut
terly unwilling to listen to more than one
side and displaying u turbulency and lntol-
efence that would refresh the memory OF
Wendell Phillips.

The Greenville Times exposes a game
of rascality which has been played by the
county Board Ring in Washington coun-
ty, in ordering the payment of 500 to
j. D. Werles, for the preparation of a
new copy of the land roll of the county,
without necessity, and without the sane
ton of law. An injunction was obtained
at the suit of Mr.. J. S. McNeeley, the
editor Of the Times, and taxpayer, pre-
venting the issuance of the warrant I'M
der this order. We wonder if this is the
same Werles who was connected with the
Library theft, for which he was turned
out of office by Gov Alcorn.

SPECIAL NOTICES.


Who does not remember the time when
spring pursatjon was considered indispen~
sable to sumr,er health7 No matter for
wry faces, the Inevitable salts and SIENNA,
rhubarb, on calomcl and jalap, must be adj
minlstered. These "spring medicines" the
youngters were told, were TO keep them
hale and heirty during the summer. We
all know now that this was n fallacy that
new vigor, not depletion, Is what is requir-
ed at the commencement of the summer
solstice. As a preparation for the enervat-
ing effects of oppressive summer weather,
a course of Hostetter's stomach Bitters Is
highly expedient. This famous vegetable
preparation has three prominent proper
ties: II rcnovates, purifies, and regulates
all the functions of the body. IL is COM
posed exclusively of pune vegetable pro-
auctions, viz: the essential principle of
Monongahela Rye, and the most efrcacious
tonic and Alternative roots, barks, and gums
known to medical botanists. Hence, IL is
an absolutely safe medicine and no tincture
OF the Pharmacopoeia can compare with IL
either In purity, or in the variety of its OBJ
Jects, and its comprehensive results. Hap
PLY for mankind, the theory that 1t was
necessary to PROSTATE a patient in order to
cure him, is forever exploded. aud the true
philosophical doctrine. that vigor is one
grea. antagonist-of disease, has taken its
place. Hostetter's Bitters is an invigorant,
hence IL Is the proper medicine for the
feeble at this most trying season of the
year.
BE sure that you obtain the genuine ar
ticle, as there are innumerable vile imita-
lions in the market. Look to the ornamen-
tai stamp, the engraved label, aud the
name blown into the glass. Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters is sold In bottles only.
