We perceive from Il series of ResO-
buttons adopted at recent meeting
held III the city of New Orleans,
and presided over by Gen'l Beaure-
gard, that complete surrender TO
Grant and Kellogg has been recon-
nended, THESE Resolutions not
only pledge the utmost extension
Of amalg amation, but secure to the
negro an equal share in all civil aid
social rights Whether this action
Of the meeting will receive the
sanction of the country parishes,
remains to be seen. We don't be-
lieve it will, for there are certain
concessions made which can only
he observed at a sacrifice of true
Southern manhood, and from Cur
knowledge Of that people, we can
not think they are quite ready to
Weld obedience to the humiliating
requirements set forth in some OF
the resolutions.

Bloody tragedy at Magnolia.

The Summit Sentinel of the 10th
contains the particulars of IA tragedy
which was enacted at Magnolia on
Saturday last. The parties were
MIR. n. l.. Lazar, a merchant of the
place, and Mr.. w. L. Coney, mem
ber OF the Board of Supervisors.
The shooting grew out of IA dispute
touching the merits of fisticuff ii ht
between a brother of Lazar, ard 4
young man OF the place, during
which Ceney applied grossly often
sive language to LaZar. Immedi-
ately on receiving the insult, Lazar
drew a navy pistol and fired twice,
the first ball taking effect in front,
and just above the collar bone,
thence passing over the shoulder,
beneath the skin, and running down
the back Il few inches, where it
lodged and was subsequently, ex-
tracted. Tie second fire Immediate
~ followed the first, and while Co
ney was in the act of farming away,
the ball entering the back of his
neck just above the shoulder blade,
Frustrating him heavily upon the
ground. Moth withstanding tie Sc
verify of the wounds, it is thought
COney may yet recover. Lazar had
a preliminary examination before
Mayor Trade, which resulted in his
admission to bail in the sum of
tree thousand dollars, which was
promptly given and the prisoner
discharged.

The Yazoo City Democrat,

The Yazoo City Democrat, in
speaking of the cholera, says:
''Seycral sporadic cases of this
disease have occurred in our midst,
some of them proving fatal within
a few hours. 1t is, however, of IA
much milder type than Asiatic
cholera, and our physicians have
generally been successful in treat
ing it, when summoned in the ear
ly stages of the disease. There is
no need, we think, of apprehension
of an epidemic, as most of the
cases that have occurred may be
traced to imprudence on the part OF
the Nictims.'
This, we think, is the same type
Iof cholera that has prevailed to
some extent i'll Memphis, New Or
leans, and other cities on the river,
causing SO much needless alarm.
i IL physicians are agreed that it is
simply sporadic, ami need not alarm
any one who is reasonably prudent
in diet and habits. Precaution
against disease, however, cannot be
too strictly observed at this season
OF the year.

Whereas, The laws of the State

But in all his dealings lie shall

the en:icing civilities of refined So
ciety, he may become Overpowered,
or suspected of being improperly
influenced or corrupted.

Northern Peop.e in the South.

We have recently read several
articles III Northern Journals charg
ing the Southern people with oppo-
sition to the st ttlement of North
erners within our borders. Nothing
can be further from the truth. The
South has never inierposed the
81 ghtest objection to these honest,
industrious, enterpIising citizens OF
the North who have come among us
to assist in developing the resources
If the country and to build up their
own private fortunes. On the con
trary, she has received them with
open arms, and extended to the m
every facility for the accomplish
ment of their Iandable purposes.
In the spin; CT an expansive cOrdi-
ality, befftting her generous and
c.iivalric character, the Sorth has
ever welcomed 10 her friendship
and confidence the inhabitants of
all nations and climes who sought
her favor with just and honorable
aims, and even how, SO far from
throwing airy obstacleIn the way
of such adventures, she cordially
invites them to her shores, and will
ever be found ready to assist them
IN verything that will not compro
mise her own honor and dignity.
The adventurers who find no
sympathy or encouragement with
us, are the low. contemplate, thiev-
ing carpet baggers, who have come
among us te plumber our people,
and SOW the seeds of strife aud dis
cord among the colored race. Des.
flute of honor, devoid of principle,
and traitors and towards at heart,
they prowl about the hedges and
by-ways of the country, and under
cover of night perform their deeds
of darkness. These are the misera-
bile spawns Of corruption and venal-
fly to whom we Object, and for
whom We will ever cherish feelings
of undying enmity. Many of these

increase our humiliation and degra-

lie individuals who are obnoxious

does not make the Northern man or

may let itself loose upon the native
EcalaWag OF the piuHderlnS carpet
bag adventurer; but toward the
genuine representative of Northern
worth aud character, it goes a great
deal more than half way toward ex-
tending the hand of friendship,
and giving genial and hospitable
welcome. The citizens of the South
really desire that good class of
Northern people should settle
among them. They want them to
come, and bring their means, their
labor, their energy and their intel
ligence with them; and such as
may come will find that they will
