NHcCODlD City.

We have published on our first page
graphic sketch of this thriving young
city Of South Mississippi, from the pen
of Rev. Alexander Clark, editor of the
Pittsburg (Pa.) Methodist Recor Ter.
The writer has Invested himself of. all
sectional feeling and written down his
impressions precisely as the facts JUS
titled.
In Illustration of what can be accom-
plished by bridging over the chasm and
uniting hearts AID hands, he points to
this young representative city of Nc
Comb, which has sprung into active ex-
istence out of wilderness, within the
past three years.
Mr.. Clark is one of numerous North.
ern correspondents who have presented
sketches of our soil and climate and the
inducements which our State offers to
He has borne truthful tes-
Iimony to the desire of the old citizens Of
the State in saying that they are weary of
proftless strife and will welcome to their
hearts and their homes, people from every
section and cline who will come among
them to share the fate of the rest, and
not as meddlesome demagogues bent on
strife between the two races
in order that they themselves may pros
per at the expense of both.
The letter of Mr.. Clark will repay pc
rusal, and our citizens will be gratifed by

In reference to the proposed meeting of
the State Committee on the 18th Of May,
the Brandon Republican, with character
istic good sense, says:
"This conference will doubtless result
in good, as there will be an interchange
of views as to the policy to be pursued in
the fall campaign. OF course it is
known to our readers that members of
Congress, members of the Legislature
and county officers only are to be elected
this fall. Whether the committee, which
meets in Jackson Oh the 18th of May,
will call State Convention, is not known,
nor has it been intimated either by the
Chairman, or any member that we have
heard of. A State committee could only
shape the policy to be pursued in the
several counties, and recommend such
action, as in its judgment, would prove |
to be for the best interests of the party, |
leaving each county to adopt a policy |
suitable to its own interest. In any |
event our people should be keenly alive |
to the selection of their candidates for
the Legislature for if it be possible to
reverse the majority in that Eody, and
substitute honorable men in the place of
the miserable crew of 'riff-raff," and
petty thieves, the property holders and
bona fde citizens would get substantial
relief. We presume each Congressional
District will hold convention for the
purpose of nominating candidate"

The South and the Presidency.
New York Graphic. J

New York Graphic.
| A great deal of President-making is
going on here at the North, and while the
Blaine men are hob-nobbing, and the
Allen men are taking account of stock,
and the Hendricks men are taking the
census of their unmatched chickens, the
part the South will have in the election
is generally overlooked The enfranchise-
ment of the negroes gives the Southern
States a total of 1873 electoral votes, forty
six less than the number requisite for the
election of President. A united South
with two or three Northern States would
be amply sufficient to sweep the country.
But the South is not unit, nor is it de-
sirable it should be. Still there is pre-
ponderating element in the Southern
States which will have great weight. and
60 far towards turning the scale. 1t is
hard to believe that Louisiana will be
the battlefield of the campaign but the
candidate that has the greatest Southern
popularity and can secure the strongest
backing of Southern States will be sure
to win. But the Presidential pipe-layers
seem to leave the preferences Of the South
out Of the count altogether. We may be
pretty sure that neither convention will
finally commit itself to candidate that
has not a strong Southern support.
COMMENTS.
Don't worry yourself about the "pref-
erences of the South" Her Conserva-
tive or Democratic voters are not troub-
ling themselves on that subject.
In the first place they are perfectly
sure of the part they are to perform in the
Presidential election. All the late slave
States, except two, have been lost to Rad
icalism by its policy of prescription and
usurpation, and will, as sure as the cleo
ton is held, vote for the Con-
sentative candidates. The newly enfran-
chized citizens will not only not save the
Radical party in these States, but as the
vote of each State is proportionate to its
voting population, they will serve the
useful purpose of swelling the numbers
against the Radical candidates in the cleo
toral college.
Nevertheless, the Democrats of the
South will have no candidate. They will
not tolerate the idea of having one, much
ess will they have preferences in the
sense used by the Graphic. A dozen
names may be mentioned, including those
most prominently spoken of, and they
would beas willing to take one as the other.
They cannot afford to quarrel over men.
They have higher aims. 1t is to reform
he Federal administration, so as to secure
est from the persecution and oppression 8
which they have experienced under the t
eign of Grant, and to restore peace and l
God government, that they may build :
p their waste places and become prosper +

The Gazette may think it strange, but

in the whole country is for Grant, if the
National Convention dominates him for
another term Oh how these Demo
cratic politicians dread the very name OF
third term 1t sounds the death-knell OF
Democracy. "--Okolona News.
This is hippantly said by the Republic
can organ of the prairie region, and it con
firms what We have before said, that the
ultra Radical and controlling Republican
vote of the reconstructed States, may
be confidently assumed to be for a third
term. The News may find itself mistaken,
however, in suppo3ing that if Grant
forces a third nomination, with his train
bands, "every Republican in the whole
country will support him." and that it
evil sound the knell of Democracy"
A rather more authoritative organ of the
Republican party" than the News, is
Harpers' Weekly, which is more extern
sively read, and more generally followed
than probably any other journal of its
party. On the subject of third term, it
holds the following significant language
in its issue of May 9Th:
'The mischief which arises from the UNI
certainty in regard to the third term is
not only that the better sentiment of the
party IS resolved against 1t, but
that 1t parGtyzes the proper organization Of the
party. While it is undecided there is an
immense number Of Republicans who
wait, because they do not knOaD ouhether they
are able to sustain as Of old the action Of
their party. They may and will, mean
while, take steps to control the Convention
against the possibility Of a denomination,
but they necessarily feel that they may
not succeed; in which case they would
expect to act as Republicans, indeed, but
in possible opposition to the regular action
IF the party. Indeed, if it should APP
pear that the Convention is already mas
tered, and the policy which the best
sentiment of the party condemns is sure
to prevail, it is very possible that some
organization may be made to secure a
hird candidacy, which, although it could
not be successful, would yet leave a
nucleus for subsequent union and action.
This would, of course, be preferable to
he total party ruin and dispersion a0hich
could foLto,O silent acquiescence IN third
erm nomination. The responsibility for
he disastrous consequences of Republican
division, should that division occur, must
est with those who make continued
lnion incompatible with patriotism. For
he one thing that is unquestionable is
hat the Republican party can not surv've {
~ effort to reverse the most sacred political {
traditions By proposing third term.
