We hope that the few influential coiored
men Of Mississippi who have received fayors
al the hands of seaator Alcorn will not
allow their loyalty to the Republican party
and its nominee, General Ames, to be shaken
because of kindness received at the hands of
Aloon. Remember that the colored race is
still in desperate struggle for the full &C.
acknowledgement of their rights, and that it is
the duty of every colOred man to stand by
aud support the agencies that will enable
that race TO reach the end sought to be at
tanned. Senator AlcOrn ia no warm friend of
complete recognition of equality before the
law. General Ames IL thorough in his Re-
pnblicanisn, aud Is entitled TO the full sup
port Of every colored man and Republican in
the State Of Mississippi. The coiOred people
Of Mississippi cannot AFFORD to have that
State 90 into the hands OF Conservative Re
publicans any more than Of out and out rebels.
Every blow made in the South must be for
certain progress. General Ames is at the
head Of ticker nominated regularly, and
Of some Of the ablest and best men
in the State. IL should he elected, and the
indications are that it will he elected by
andsOIne majority. -- .-..

Vice President Wilson and ii,e

Mr.. Wilson, in declining the presidency OF
the League, says: 81 need not assure YOU
that now, no less than in the past, do SYM

dillon or nationality, who arc thus struggling
for their rights. l have specially sympathiz-
ed Will, the Cuban patriots in their struggle.

only their own disenthralment from grind
ing despot!sm, but the emancipation Of the
slaves and q cessation Of the terrible slave
trade which finds Cuba It's last stronghold.
And then, have hoped their trinnph would
secure justice to the coolies against whom Gu
ban authorities have shown SO much cruelty
and bad faith. | shall continue to do so,
and l hope thai the citizens of the United
States will go as far as the law Of the land
and the honor and the good faith of the ma
ton will permit in demonstrations of interest
and expressions Of sympathy.

you have so kindly assigned me. The con-
dition Of my health admonishes me that
should not venture on any new responsible
ties but such as have already been placed
upon me, or attempt the performance Of any
duties but such AZ have already been as
sumed."

Georgia.

Kukluxian haa in thi. State been pioduc-
tive Of evils moi only to the victims Of The
hlan, but to its friends. BY communica-
ton elsewhere printed il will be seen that
the agricultural interests Of the State have
suffered materially because Of the scarcity of
laborers. This scarcity was made BY the
flight of the atirighted colored people who
were the sufferers at the hands of the ku-
klux. The miserable attempt OF the Cover
nor Of Georgia to lay the blame fov the dis
tress among the planters, at the doors Of the
colored people is very foolish. The lives and
happiness Of the laborers Of Georgia should
be protected, and if They cannot be protected,
then the only recourse /. fight. As TO the
lazines. Of the negro, abundant testimony
has been given which shows that the charge
is always false when the negro is paid
promptly and otherwise Justly dealt by. Our
correspondent gives us an insight into the
feeling Of the Democrats of Georgia towards
the colorcd people by presenting The attitude
of the Governor in the matter Of arms for the
colored militia. The Tinted states Govern
nent ought, ifit is not, 10 be able TO prevent
discrimination among citizens in regard To- the
distribution Of its arms, based on accidents OF
birth, and We trust that the Government will
exercise whatever power It may have III pre-
venting such discrimination

The Indian Territory.

In the Indian Territory some IS ESQ or
10000 colored people, who were formerly
slaves OF the Indians, live. These PEOPLE
are denied the elective franchise, aud all
other rights guaranteed by the Constitution.
Under treaties this territory is under the ex-
elusive control of the savages, and laws Of the
United States are not respected within its
limits. Colored Een dare not assert their
rights because OF the intimidation practised
BY the sayages, who have been assisted by
the Indian agents. Congress has been me-
moriaGzed BY the colorea people and their
friends 10 throw the Territory epen to imrni-
grafton and settlement. aud to give them a
Territorial government !; and We understand
that it is the intention of the solored peosie
to urge this nuesiinn in the next Congress.
1t is certainlya question which should be
promptly met and settled. We shall keep

There is no pain which the Centaur Liniment
Will not relieve no swellings 1t Will not subdue,
and no lameness which 1t will not cure. This is
strong language, but IT is true. Where the parts
are not gone, Its effects are marvellous. 1t has

breasts, scalds, burns salt-rhcum, ear-achc,&c
upon the human frame, and Of strains, SPAWN,
gals, &C. upon animals In one year than have
all other pretended remedies since the world
began. 1t Is a counter-lrrltant, an all-heallng
pain reliever. Crlpplcs throw away their
crutches, the lame walk, poisonous bites are
rendered harmless and the wounded are healed
without a scar. 1t Is no humbug. The recipe
is published around each bottle. 1t Is selling
as no article ever before sold, and 1t sells be-
cause 1t does just what 1t pretcnds to do Those
who now suffer from rheumatism pain or swell
Ing deserve to suffer II they Will not use Cen
taur Eminent. More than 900 certificates OF
remarkable cures, including frozen limbs,
chronic rheumatism, govt, running tumors, sc.
have been received. We will send Il circular
containing certificates, the recipe, &C., gratis
