The negroes are supposed to have
twenty thousand majority over the
whites in Mississippi. Now let them
organize on the color line, put up a
straight negro ticket and the whites
will fight them on that line in spite
of their numerical strength. The
only thing needed to redeem the
State from negro rule is to draw
ont the full strength of the white
vote, and that can never be done on
a milk and water platform. Give
us the color line and civil rights
mixed school issue, and we will soon
show where the majority is. The
registered negro majority in V.cks-
burg was between four and five hum
dred, the white majority in the cleo
ton was 200. Four hundred and
fifty dead negroes, and a number Of
colored Louisianians, who are usual
ly very accommodating, declined to
vote for the Radical candidates Cor

every one who employs negroes, and
every white man, will carefully read
the eloquent remarks Of Major Jonas

HE SENSIBLE COURSE. The far
mers, and in fact any body else, can
as well afford to cut wheat with a
Inc razor as a business, as on every
petty occasion to retain and pay his
attorney and a host OF court officers
and witnesses in order to bring about
a settlement with n~eighI'ors, which a
lew moments fair plain talk will en-
able much smore satisfactorily.
Hence, it is hat the farmer brother
must before going to law go to his
Grange aud try to settle with his
brother.

the town of Biloxi, from the fact, that we
believe the Legislature of this State at
its last session passed a law placing Us
in an embarrassing condition in making
us voters upon coffee-house licenses. we
not being voters under the constitution
and could moi nor did we wish to have a
voice in framing it. We would further
represent that in our opinio n the closing
Of saloons would not do away with the
evil, that bad we a voice at all on this sub
iect, we would Join heart and hand with
any party to insist upon the United States
government to pass a law to prohibit the
importation or distillation Of intoxicating
liqnor Of any kind, and inasmuch as such
is not the Law we reluctantly sign our
names in favor of all applicants to OBJ
tain licenses within the corporate limits
of said town, under the laws and restric-
tons as is now in force governing the
same in this State, all of which is respect
fully submitted.
