OVER TBEE sFATE.

We have reason to know that a secret
organization exists among the negroes
of this city and county, the object of
which is to regulate, in their own inter-
est, the labor on farms and families
Jackson is the headquarters of this So
Ciety, and during the big meetings of
the past few weeks large additions have
been made to the Order. Sometimes
these meetings continue through the
entire night, but the time is not con-
stunned in religious exercises. Explain
ing the objects and necessity of the So
ciety above mentioned, and initiating

inC-room servant or cham beTmaid, he,
or she. as the case may be, will not do
any work whatever outside of dining
room and chamber work: il hired to
wash, wash only, and il hired TO cook,
why, COnGne him or herself strictly to
that. Further, to require a certain
number OF hours each day and all OF
Sunday, after o'clock A. NJ, for recre-
alton, and to do 10 night work whatey-
or without extra pay such are the
leading features, As TAR Is We are able
10 ascertain, OF this rather eXtraOrdi-
nary movement. It furnishes another
striking Illustration of the tendency of
the times toward sSCtIOnalizinG the va
rinus caliings of life, and aTraying class
against class by secret organizations
whose objects arc necessarily selfish
and clarnisb. We do not like the sign,
