The Memphis appeal of Saturday
pays a glowing compliment to the Dem
ocratic State Executive Committee and
TO its Secreta-y Maj. w. J. Sykes, for
services rendered by them in the late
canvass. 1t is not our purpose to say
any thing more in regard TO Maj. Sykes.
He does not expect or desire political
promotion, and he is not the rival of any
aspirant. His wish, as we know, Is to
pursue his profession, in which he stands
without a superior in the State and
which lie has neglected for several years
70 work for the public interest. He fired
tbe first gun Of the canvass, IN his dis
cussionwith l. r. Hawkins at Paris,
July 9th, and poured the last shots into
the cnemy's ranks at SomerVille. Novem-

One of the largest cotton planters in
our county told US last Wednesday that
it would take everything the negroes on
his place made this year 10 pay his rents,
and that they are very low spirited and do
not like to work. 1t is not because of ex.
cessive rents, but on account of extraor-
binary short crops He says, however,
that he intends, at his own expense, to
feed and clothe the negroes through the
winter. This is generous. and worthy
of imitation by all our farmers. 1t has
been a very bad year On colored renters,
and now is a good time for the white land
owners to show the negroes that they are
indeed their best and truest friends.

force and power over our country.
reached our quiet town some time
ago, and the usual results followed.
Several miss meetings were held
and organizations were effected to
prosecute the work of driving the evil
of intemperance from among us. A
score or more of earnest and devoted

have commenced the war by circulat-

also by visiting those places where the
vile and poisonous compounds are

some more reputable business.
If mild and gentle means will not
effect the object sought, then the aid
of the law will be invoked, as large
fund is in readiness to be applied to
the continuance of the work, for our
people are determined to save, if pos

places where intoxicating liquors are
sold, but yet, there are enough of

spread to such an extent that all sober

seeing the necessity of action they are
now making the efforts mentioned

The worst form of the evil is the

The Radical party has had the unin-

thirteen years. An exchange. former

&c Since the triumph of the
military element in the election of
Grant the whole theory of govern
ment has been reversed and the United
States consolidated into central power
threatening to undermine our institu-
tions and laws. The disclosures of
fraud and corruption are endless.-
Both high and low places are sought
for gain and bestowed as rewards for
political dishonesty. The atmosphere
is thick with moral, social and politi-
poison. .a eIe
E The government recognizes no law
but the will of q political majority.
States have disappeared amid the
ruins of anarchy and political adven@
turers bound to the ruling dynasty
have usurped authority and destroyed
the liberty of the people. South Car
Olina has become negro province
and Governor imposed upon the
people of Louisiana by the bayonets
of United States soldiers,
"The Republican party, as 1t was
in the days of Lincoln, no longer ex-
lists. Its best aud purest statesmen
and leaders are gone. Its surviving
representatives in Office have forgot
ten their obligations and proven un-
faithful to their trusts. In its stead
has arised the one man party of Grant
with but one tenet in its creed-but
one rule of action, allegiance to Grant
and plunder. The tendency of long
duration in Office is corruption. In
crease of power destroys responsible
ity. Where annual elections end, it
has been said, tyranny begins; now
the benefits, of frequent elections are
destroyed by the continuance in office
of the same men and same party.
