CLOSE OF THg CAMPAIGN.
In a large number 81 towns The Democrats
are holding nass.ricetinHs Tonight, closing
the campaiga Ia a blsze OF glory and surfett
Of oratory, to say nnthtng OF The roar Of

dies. There with be any amounkof cannon-
shooting, !" midnight national saluses,s and
all that sort Of thing. And men and hoys,
going home FROM the MeetlDgs, inspired by
patriotism aud bad whiskeyy, viii yell, and
whoop and Gre oil pistols, contributing tEelr
mite towards making night hideous, thereby
i'm pressing the average darky With the be-
lief that he hiss not much inteIest In politics
any way, and that the world will roll around
lust the same if be don't vote. All this per.
formance can be gone through In detail and
vet violate no law, State or National, nor
break the pledge that the leading Conserva.
tiyes have made, that there shall beia fair
election. The blacks understand that the
whites arc Ia arms, and in many sections
they feel dlsinclinauop to vote amounting
to intim idation. rel without actual violence

NOT AN INTELLIGENT VOTING POPULATION. e
Leaders OF the blacks have I to be con-
stantly on the watch to keepthem from being
fooled by Democratic tickets. Therefore,
the Pilot, of this city, Republican organ,
| keeps standing warning to the blacks to DE
| sure to get their tickets from trusty leaders
OF the party. Often; to prevent the DARBY
from voting the wrong ticket, the Repnbli.
can tickets are printed on tri colored paper,
or on paper of a peculiar tint. Aud then
sometimes the Democrats sandwich 10 the
nsme of Democrat or two on paper Of the
same color, and the intelligent coiored voter
uDconsciouSly thrasts it into the ballot-box.
IL tue lesders OF the blacks In this State
should have, a mind to- play the ffaud they
could cause the negroes to cast GO, 600 votes
for J,ferson Davis for GOVERNOR or Tor any
| other pc rson. f.Fs - .sg. .a.-sv ts5nr.3
A voting population of this sort is not
able to stand taione, no matter what their
majority, and now that the Government has
| refused to intervene 10 their behalf, the Re-
publican plrty in Mississippi is finished.
The Democrats will get the. Legislature to-
morrow, and every other department Of
the government at the next election. In.
deed, there is q possibility that the Legisla-
ture elected Tomorrow will impeach Gov
ernor Ames and Lieutsnani-Govern
| Davis. Davis will be pretty certain to go
overheard. Theevidence is said TO be strong
tsat he received brides for pardoning con-
yics cut OF the peniteutiarv during Ames's
absence in the North: Davis is colored
man, or partly so. .,,. Il Il 7sfg..,
| Whether they impeach Ames or not will
| depend upon how they feel about 1t. LII the
spirit moves strong they will attempt to rake
up something to depose him. But my
opinion is that AmeS has not laid himself
liable to impeachment, even under stretch oil
the law. About the worst point they have
made against him yet Is that be Is Ben. But
leI's son.in-law.f But this, even under the
ewes OF Democratic Legislature, can hardly
be cause of impeachment. We shall see.
TIE VALUE OF .sARGpaENT." ~
Que Foote (coIored) is leading Republic
can in Yazoo, or has been. A citizen from
there tells me, however, that Foote is cal
| right for the Democratic ticket" and that ht
is at home enjoying degree of contentmenl
and tranquility that he never experienced
as Republican. He wus badly shot during
the Wilson's Hill row, aud lay there upor
the floor by the side of dead Dick Mitcbe
expecting to die also. But he is getting wei
and can walk about.
This is the fifth time that Foote has beer
shot during his enchanting experience as
:" leading Republican " In YaZ9o. With thu
leayen of five Democratic bullets working ii
him he could not longer resist the attrac
tious of that party, and now we learn thai
he will cast his vote for the entire Demo
cratic ticket. Democratic bullets began tt
outweigh Republican flesh, so to speak.
There is no Republican ticket in Yazoo
or was not q week ago, and we have the
spectacle Of county which has usually
given two thousand Republican majority In
a fair way to 60 unanimously Democratic Sc
far as the legislative ticket is concerned.
s. ANOTHER LEGISLATOR KILLED.
Word was received here to-day that Rich
ard Gray, colored member OF the Legisla
ture. was killed Saturday at Macon, in The
eastern part Of the State. We have no par
ticulars.
/ Smith (white), senator from Claiborne
county, has been compelled to leave.
A private dispatch was received from Clai
borne to-day stating that the whites were il
arms. and that there was danger Of couflic
between the races at any moment. This is
heavy negro county, the coiored population
being over ten thousand and the white popu
laiion but a little over three thous md Three
hundred-or three blacks to one white. al
the whites are De nocrats, and uil the black
Republicans. Yet the whites can carry TIT
county if they take notion, and imagine
from the tone of news from there tina
thew have concluded to do it. car
liken this campaign to nothing but rebel
lion of the property-bolders against pegrt
rule. They have determined to have NJ
more Of it, and will therefore carry The cleo
ton tomorrow without regard to conse
uuences. Indeed, there is not county they
cannot carry. In Issaqlena county, contain
ing white population of about TAI and
black population OF 6,l43, the whites can, 1
they should set resolutely about 1t, carry
that county. The negroes cannot hold thell
own in any quarter without active Fedora
aid. No matter bow large may be their ma
Ijority, they are no match for the whites WheI
the whites determine to carry the election
Heretofore the blacks have had everything
their own way in IssaQuena, and ut present
every official In that county but. one Is ne
gro. The result is, taxation has been as high
as eight per cent. on real estate. do you
| wonder that the whites, who own all The
! property, are restiye under such taxation a.
this? ~ .... r,.,..ss.. M,
In Washington county, just above Issa'
! qUena, containing white population o.
2,164 and black population OF IL, 405, taxes
have been up to ten per cent. on real estate
as was to-day informed by Mr.. Hunting
ton, New England man, who has boughts
| large plantation there since the war. O.
the eighteen school directors in the county
there are fifteen who cannot read and write.
MIR. Huntington, who is Repu olican, but
not politician, giving all bis attention to
cotton. II. wing en- his magnificent planta
ton, says that the whites will eventually tak'
affairs into their own bands; that it is i'm
possible for a party of such dense Ignorance
