Vile SIander.

Editor OF the Dipa'ch'-1f the
report given by your correspond
ent "Rad" Of the remarks of E. S.
j. Hayes at Leesville as published
in your last issue be true, viz: that
he Hayes "could prove that Corley
had said that eolored men were en-
titled to white wives, then I have
only to say, in reply, that I have
never directly or Indirectly, either
by precept or example, inculcated
any such idea. lido not know what
Hayes can or cannot prove by his
lying tools, but if any such mis-
creant asserts that I have ever en-
tertaiued or uttered any such a
vile and degrading sentiment he
simply utters a deliberate and ma
licious falsehood. No one knows
better than Hayes himself, that
this slanderous utterance is simply
a base lie, manufactured out OF
whole cloth, and that he is now re-
failing it at a very cheap rate, as
about the only political capital he
has left. If I had ever uttered any
such foolish and unworthy senti-
ments, then my colored friends,
who fully understand my private

and kicking Hayes overheard. For
aught I know to the contrary, he,
having disposed Of Hayes, may now
be marshalling his forces to dis
pose of me, in like manner. 1have
no good fat Office to be endangered
by the operation, and no reins in
hand to be snatched away. But L
propose to meet the issue like /"
man, and not blubber like child
over the failures of an hour, feel
ing assured that whether Mt pres
ent personally successful or not
the time will come when my politi-
cal theories and practice will be
sustained, and friend and foe alike
will render to my memory the plau-
dit of we'll done.

MISSISSIPPI OPlIcI.Is-The Gos~
crnor OF Mississippi is from Mas
sacbusetts; the Lieutenant Cover
nor is negro from another State:
the Superintendent OF Education
is q negro now on trial for felony.
In Claiborne County the Sheriff:
can neither read nor write; the
Coroner is a negro and under in
dictment for burglary; the County
Treasurer is a negro and cannot
add up a column of figures; the
Board Of Supervisors have no real
estate interest in the County; and
most Of tho Magistrates are ne
groes, many, many of whom can
not read, and of course cannot even
comprehend tie laws they pretend
to administer. And, in the face Of
these monstrosities, Mississippi is
expected to be happy and love the

would not betray the confidence
reposed in him, though the sub
ject be corrupt as hell, I will be
true to it's devil" This language,
within these pointers, I never
used. "In amteJelum days he was
faithful servant, though there
was no temptation in those days
to try mems souls" This is rather
insinuative-but be it as it may
it is enough for me to know that
I am honest and generous, and my
motives for my acts as pure as any
mans, and as to my errors, as
some would judge them to be, pro-
curing my political death--we will
leave that to the future-and let
the public make the verdict We
do not eSpAes 10 die bsf6fe car
time comes, and when it does
come, let me die in peace and in
honor, which is my aim. But my
friend Rad" trusts still chat /
will by my acts, redeem that con.
fdence which he has lost, and
never aid the party to roll Us on
to "damnation."
When you have q true and
working horse, treat him kindly
and justly, and don't run him
to death under whip and spur and
a bad saddle and rider. I think
my honor is yet unsullied. Fare

gS Decisions Of the Courts.

@ Decisions of the Courts.---Any
person who takes n paper regularly from
the Post Office whether directed to his
name OF another. or whether he has sub
scribed or not-is responsible for the
pay. If a person orders his paper dis
continued he must pay all arrearages, OF
the publisher may continue to send 1t
until payment is made, and collect the
whole amount, whether it is taken from
the Office or not. The Courts have de-
cided that refusing to take newspapers
and periodicals from the Post Office, OF
removing and leaving them uncalled for,
is .prinsa .fae;e evidence of Intentional
frnud.

have been appointed by his Excel

missioners for Lexington County.
Will these Commissioners act hon.
estly and justly in this matter? If
they will fix the polling precincts
Monvenient for the citizens of the
County, and appoint managers at
each box from both rarties-We
can see no reason why they should
refuse unless they do not pro-
pose to act fair and square in the

FAX Unions in the various parts Of

10 the boxes and see that ev-
. cry thing is fairly done.

They must mber that every
