, dered his resignation to the governor
That district is composed of the countie

The Radicals intend holding a mas
meeting here on Saturday, twenty-sixth
Wells, Gibbs, Huggins, Chancellor Hill
and Others, are expected TO speak. We
understand that all the drum-squads o.
the surrounding counties have been in
vited.-AberdeeR Examiner.
n We learn from the COrinth NelUS that
after weeks search the grand-jury o.
, Tishomingo county has only been able
to obtain three or four indictments fol-
violations Of the law. Tishomingo is q
Democratic county, and consequently
Its criminal record is very slim.-A6cr-
dee9l Examiner.
Il Five freedmen on the plantation OF
Mr.. Heron, of Lowndes county, went to
the house of another negro, at midnight
last Thursday, in kukiuX garb, put q
rope around his neck, and took him out
and gave him q terrible whipping. The
freedmen Of the surrounding country
turned out next day and succeeded in
! hunting down three Of the kukluX,
vino confessed the deed, whom they
! turned over TO the authorities at COlum-
I BUS, and are now on the track OF the
otheTs.-AGerdcen Examiner.
The farmers Of Monroe county were
! blessed with rain on Saturday, which
I we have reason to hope was less partial
| than usual. During the day We had
many visitors from different portions Of
the county, representing the various
c.sssiicatiOns of soil with which old
Monroe is favored, and were considers
bly, amused by their comments. Those
from the hills were, as a general thing,
jubilant, while those from the prairies
and bottoms, though admitting the ne
cessity for season were all appre-
hensive lest this shower should prove
the opening of long ''wet spell. ."-A6-
eTdeeB Examiner.
The Okolona Ne1cs says the only sal
walton for the Republican party is in the
nomination Of Ames. AlcOrn SAYS he
won't vote for Ames if nominated
MusgrOve says Powers is q stupid ass,
and can't spell correctly. Powers says
MusgrOve is a grand rascal. The Kos
ciuskO Republican calls Musgrove and
Lake, Of the Vicksburg Times, "sutlers
and vendors Of cabbage-plants," Sub
sidy Josh takes an occasional crack at
the whole ring Of Yanks, and the Yanks
show great contempt for Josh. Ben
Nabers says he never bad brains enough |
to aspire to any high position heretofore, |
but as this is an era Of small men he |
thinks be can come in and compete for
gubernatOrial hOnOrs.-Brdnd0B Repub- |
lean.
We take much pleasure in being able |
to announce the arrival Of Lieutenant |
Quinn, Of the United States engineer |
corps, and party, who have been charged |
with the survey Of the harbor, under the /
made by congress at its
late session. Lieutenant Quinn arrived |
on Monday, and Immediately entered |
upon the discharge Of his duties. We
learn that these will embrace, in addi- |
ton, a survey Of our river from ard be-
low the railroad bridge, and therefore
We will be favored with the official views
Of this officer in relation to the bar, and
the best means OF deepening the channel
st the mouth OF our river.-P1scdgOltl
Star.
1t seemed to be generally conceded at
the assembling Of the mOngrel execu-
tive State committee, that the contest
between Ames and Powers for governoTi
both cRrpetbaggers, but Ames decidedly
more So would be close. No sealawag
)r home Republican seems to stand any
,hsnce OF nomination. In the ar ,
'angement Of the ticket at large the
prospect is that the dArkies viii be :
ricked out Of anything approximating !
! fair division. Out of the seven places :
hose of lieutenAnt-governor and secre- q
airy Of state only are accorded to them, )
Notwithstanding the colored element {
ninety-nine Of every hundred f
.otes that make up the Radical party G
