Yourcommittes respectfully sub
NIT that the above review Of the
history Of this corporation, which
has barred the way since 1869,
and still obstructs the building of
a railway to Texas, is sufficient to
warrant them in declaring as their
firm conviction that there is no
hope of relief from them, and that
the only chance OF securing a rail-
way to Texas is q speedy sale for
cash, whereby this property, unin
numbered, may pass into entirely
new hands at the earliest possible
moment.

styled the New Orleans, Mobile

pany, wrongfullY and BY means Of

despoiled our State Of about 81
$500 in bonds and back interest

I" association of these bondhold-
ers, by whatever names they may
style themselves, will be in the
future, as il the past, unreliable.
We recommend the State authori-
ties by every means III Their power
to resist the paymentof the fraudu-
lent and unconstitutional issue Of
Shreveport branch bonds, aud the
interest thereon, and to favor the
formation of ali entirely new and
trustworthy company to construct

Before the war, gardeners went South

and those going South for a location

locations that the crops of early melons,
potatoes, etc, are stolen; and, IN others,
of the want of good society. These are
evils, no doubt, and should be taken INTO
consideration. Order, however, Is being
restored. Within the next two or three
wears. hundreds, if not thousands, OF
Northern. people will go So tn, not for
the purpose of general farming, but to
grow early vegetables and fruits for the
North. All OF this class of men are edu-

And. as their business-relations will con

look for others to follow, who may take

and agricultural implements will DO
the South good instead of harm. She has

North Carolina Election.

North Carolina will vote to-day.
There can be no doubt of the success OF
the Conservatives by considerable ma
jority. There are a large number of
white Republicans in the State, but they
can be spared from the Conservative
ranks without endangering the victory
According to the census of 1870, the
population stood as follows: Whites,
678, 740 Blacks, 391, 65O-White ma.
jority, 2a7, 900. Estimating one vote
in every FIVE persons, and the result
would be white voting majority of about
fifty-nine thousand. Two years since,
pending the Presidential election, by ex-
traordinary means and the lavish dis
bursement of money and patronage, the
administration succeeded in electing its
candidate for Governor by trifing ma
jority; but the opposition carried every
thing else. They elected their Legisla-
ture, United States Senator and a ma
jority of members to the House of Repre-
sentatives. The combination of circum-
stances which had placed North Carolina
among the doubtful States, will not exist
again for long time, and henceforward
he may be classed as steadfast anti
Radical State.

THE OUTLOOK.

Whatever hope may be built upon
the new party of Independents, or Anti
Monopolists, in reforming the administra-
ton of the Government, it is confined
entirely to the influence it may exert
over the political condition of the West
In that section, the Radical party Is
composed of old Wings, and Democrats
who we're swept into the Free-soil current
and we're carried along by the predomi-
nant war feeling after the commencement
of hostiiities between the two sections
And as a war party, represented by an Ad-
ministration of their own selection, the
Republicans inevitably drewto themselves
the young men who came upon the stage
of action pending what is called in the
vocabulary of loyalty, the rebellion.
1t has now been nine years since the
war closed. The questions which gave
rise to it have been settled. The States
have been reconstructed upon new condi-
tons dictated by the conquering power
and have resumed their places in the
Union. Naturally new issues have
sprung up in place of the old ones which
have ceased to have vitality. Reforms
are demanded and there are tens OF
thousands who are Republicans nominal
", that are prepared to join any movement
for achieving them which does not have
the appearance of approving what they
have heretofore condemned, and build
ing up what they have struck down. Re-
publicans will not be inclined to embrace
an old party they have heretofore been
fighting, and Democrats who have aban-
dOned their former organizations on the Is
sues of slavery and the war, will not be
apt to go back to it. Men often change
their political relations, but it is rarely
the case, they resume their connection
with party they have once left.
Hence we have thought, not without
reason, that the Independent movement
offered a common ground on which Re
publican and Democratic reformers
might all unite, without a sacrifice of
principle, or violating their pride of con-
sistency The triumphs of the INDIE
pendents in California was sign of en-
enlargement. They have rescued Wis
consin from Radical domination, though
for fifteen years past she had steadily ad-
hered to the Republican party by MAORI
ties ranging from thirty to sixty thousand.
They came nigh carrying the Governors
election in Minnesota and secured an
equal number in the Legislature with
both the old parties combined. And
here and there in Illinois, Kansas, Ne
braska and other Western States, they
have achieved unexpected successes.
In the late slave-holding States, en-
tirely different influences will operate
upon and control public sentiment. The
party which opposes Radicalism whether
it calls itself Conservative, Democratic,
or Independent, will almost certainly
carry ten, probably eleven, of the num-
Der. They are indicated by the follow
ing exhibit from the census of 1870:

Mississippi Crop News

| From the Talahatchie News.
The cotton crop throughout this county
is very fine; we have not heard of sin
gle farmer complaining about bis cotton
not doing well.
From the Brookhaven Citizen.
The young corn in many places in
Lincoln, Copiah, Lawrence and Jeffer-
son counties is reported to be now in need
of rain. Also cotton, on uplands, in
some localities, would be improved by a
few showers. The news of general APP
pearance of worms, in small quantities,
in every direction, is fully confirmed.
From the Liberty Herald.
The crops are reported to be in fine,
furnishing condition. One more good
rain will secure the corn crop of this sec
ton, and will, from all reports, insure the
best yield of corn known in this county
for many years. The cotton is growing
finely, and is fast recovering from the
backwardness of the spring.
From the Meridian Star.
The corn crop is the best by far, since
the surrender. We travelled in our route
about SO miles, and we are happy to say,
without seeing any sorry crops. Corn
that was planted early, is unusually fine,
and is fully developed. Young corn is
very promising. and with one or Two more
good rains will yield abundantly. Cotton
looks we'll, and is very promising. There
are no signs Of caterpillars.
From the Holly Springs Reporter.
Notwithstanding the favorable appear
ance of both the corn and cotton corps
during the past three weeks, the recent
drought has created a marked change
for the worse The yield of early corn
is already diminished, fields that would
have turned out thirty bushels to the
acre with good seasons, can't possibly
produce more than twenty now. The
young corn is not suffering to the extent
of the old. Good rains will bring it
out wonderfully. Cotton is falling off
for the want of rain.

Brother Harper on Agriculture.

One of the ablest addresses, which
have been delivered on the objects and
benefits of the order of Patrons of Hus-
bandry, was delivered by q. w. Har
per, Esq, of the Kinds County Gazette,
at Dry Grove, on the 18th ult. 1t
evinces historical research, and also
abounds with practical ideas upon matters
in which the agricultural interests of che
country are involved. Brother Harper
tells what he knows about farming in a
most enchanting style, and we shall have
recourse to his address, which is pub
lished in full in the Gazette, for the ben

The whites have decided majorities
in all these states except South Carolina,
Mississippi and Louis lana, and in Louis
lana the black majority is nominal.
The States that are certain to go with
the Reformers by whatever name they
may be called, represent one hundred and
twenty votes in the electoral college, and
lack about forty Of having majority of
the whole. These forty can certainly be
obtained in New York, California and
Oregan, to say nothing of the chances in
Connecticut. But assurance will be doub-
ly sure, if the bunker politicians in the
West do not throw factious opposition
in the way of the Independents.
From the present outlook, we would
judge that combination of the Opposi-
ton elements is all that is needed to ena-
BILE them to carry the next Presidential
election bv n large majority.

Party:
The Democratic State Central Com.
mittee, in pursuance of the power vested
in it by the Democratic State Convention,
hereby gives notice shat a State Con
vention will be held in Springfield, on
Wednesday, the 26th day of August,
1874, at II NJ. All voters of the State
are invited TO join in sending delegates
to that convention who desire to promote
the following purposes
/. The restoration of gold and silver
as basis of the currency Of the country;
the speedy resumption of specie payment
and the payment of all national indebted
ness in money recognized by the civiliz-
ed world
2. Free commerce.
3. Individual liberty and opposition

4. Rigid restriction of the govern
ment, both State and national, to the
legitimate domain of political power, by
excluding them from all executive and
legislative intermeddIing with the af-
fairs of society, whereby monopolies are
fostered, privileged classes aggrandized
and individual freedom unnecessarily
and oppressively restrained.
D. The right and duty of the State
to protect its citizens from extortion and
unjust discrimination by chartered mono

The committee, believing that the
opposition 10 Republican misrnle can
harmoniously unite upon the foregoing
principles, earnestly solicits the free CO.

New Market for our Garden and
Orchard Products.

We ask attention to the interesting
letter Of the agricultural correspondent of
the Chicago Tribune, in another column.
It brings to the view of our people the op-
portunity of new industry and market
for .branch.of labor hitherto neglected
in our State. The early products of the
garden for which the Southern portion of
Mississippi along the line of the New
Orleans, st. Louis & Chicago railroad is
peculiarly adapted, will henceforth have
quick transportation and market in the
cities of the Northwest. Those cities
will find it to their advantage to abandon
the system of hot-house culture for the
products Of the garden, and will look to
our section for these necessaries and COM
forts, together with the early fruits Of the
orchard, The opportunity il offered,
and our people win not be slow TO avail
themselves Of it. Besides, if proper in.
dncement is held out of good bargains in
land, and kind treatment, ! large aces
sion of settlers from the Northwest,
skilled in these productions, may be snfic-
ipated.

racy.

The action Of the Indiana Democracy
borrows significance from this fact: Ii
IS so completely in the line of the belief
of the great bulk Of the Democratic party
that the Democracy of nearly thirty
States will echo its platform almost as
Involuntary as the hillside echoes the
song in the moonlight. Emerson tells
us that what the tender and poetic youth
dreams to-day, and conjures up with
inarticulate speech, is tomorrow the
vociferated result of public opinion, and
the day after is the charter ofnations.
1t Is quite true that the heresy of to-day
becomes the gospel of tomorrow. 1t is
six years and eleven months ago to a day
that the Hon. Geo. II. Pendleton made
the first public annunciatiOn of tnanl
cial doctrine almost identical with that
which the Indiana Democracy declared
yesterday. In a few months twenty
SIX States will have taken up the theory
and fashioned it into creed, and the
unostentatious apostle and herald of the
doctrine which is now at home in the
mouths of all men, can complacently
rest In the assurance that the seed was
not sown by the wayside or on stony
ground. Cincinnati Enquirer.

A correspondent of the Independent
South gives the following information,
which will be of interest to many of our
readers:
This bill to repeal, passed its third
reading in the Senate, March 10Th, 1874,
and was sent to the House the same day
1t passed in the House, was returned to
Governor April 9th, 1874. The Legis-
lature adjourned the same day without
having received any communication from
the Governor respecting this bill.
Unless returned by the Governor with
objections within the first three days of
the next Legislative term, commencing
the first Tuesday after the first Monday
in January next, it becomes a law without
further action.
The bill as passed is as follows S. B.
No. 216. An Act entitled an Act 10 re-
peal all Laws creating Liens and Mort
cages for supplies in this State:
l. Be it enacted that all Acts or parts of
Acts which are now in force by virtue
whereof liens are created upon the agri-
cultural products of this State be and are
hereby repealed.
3 Be it further enacted, That hereafter
any deed in Trust or Mortgage taken or
given upon a crop or any part thereof
prior to the gathering of the same for any
purpose whatsoever shall be held to be
void and of no effect.
3. Be it further enacted, That the pro-
visions of this Act shall not in any way
effect the liens heretofore taken, or the
enforcement thereof.
f. Be it further enacted, That this Act
takes effect and be in force after the 1st
of November next, (1874.)
