In response to a call made through the

Of July, 1873.
Col. NJ. Z. Norris was unanimously
chosen chairman, and John 5. Dabbs re-
quested to act as Secretary.
The object of the meeting was ex-
planned, in an able and dignitied speech,
by the Chairman.
When, upon motion of Maj. G.. l..
Donald, committee Of five Tone from
each Supervisors district consisting of
r. w. Davis, G. l.. Donald, {. G. Fer
rill, w. J. Adams and S. III. Terrall,
were appointed on resolutions.
During the absence Of said committee,
the meeting was addressed by S. ID. Car
ter and o. B. Collins, setting forth in an
able manner the great necessity of prompt,
energetic and harmonious action on the
part of the Democratic party of Clarke
county.
The committee reported the following
resolutions, to-wt:
Res0iUei T4iat We are in favor of the
enforcement of every constitution Il guar
antee for the protection oi lie. liberty
and property of the citizens, without re
spect to race. color or previous condition.
Resoieed, That we reeogniz IN the Rad
zeal party OF this State an organization
dangerous to- public liberty and peace,
and destructive To the material interests
of the State therefore, we invite all good
citizens to unite with us in bringing back
the administration of the State to an eco
nomical expenditure of the public funds,
to a low rate of taxation, and to the
election of honest, competent and faith
men only, to office.

PO%TOTOC COUNTY.
j. z. CARRAwAY, Secretary.

The Conservative-Demo party, of
the county of Pontotoc, had a large mass
meeting in the town of Pontotoc on Mon
day the 18th day of July, for the purpose
of organizing thoroughly for the ensuing
fall campaign. The attendance was one
of the largest we have ever had in the
county of Pontotoc By invitation our
distinguished and patriotic representative
in Congress, Col. l.. q. G. Lamar, was
present and addressed the meeting in a
speech of three hours length. His speech
was hailed with cheers of delight; and
will long be remembered by the people
of Pontotoc county as one of the ablest,
most earnest, and eloquent appeals in
behalf of good government that it has
ever been their good fortune to hear.
After Col. Lamar concluded his address
the meeting proceeded to organize by
calling S. B. Bingham to the chair, and
appointing Robt NJ. SadIer Secretary.
The meeting being organized the follow
ing resolutions were adopted:
WHEREAS, For the past several years
our laws have been made by a legislature
composed of men who are for the most
part, entire strangers to US, and iDim-
zeal to the true interests Of our people,
and administered by their INSCRIPTIONS
and dishonest tools, and instead of being
protection have been a means of op-
preston and robbery; and whereas,
the people are rapidly being reduced
to poverty and want, which if not re-
novel at an early day, will surely
result in our utter ruin, and rec
ognizing as we do the existence of but
two political parties in our State, There
fore be it,
1st, Resolred, That we now proceed to
organize the Democratic party by electing
ten men from each Supervisors District,
to be known as the Executive Commit
of the Democratic party of Pontotoc
county.
I'd, Resolved, That we pledge ourselves
to endeavor to elect to Office none but true,
capable and honest men.
Sd, Resolved, That we pledge our
selves to support no man for any Office
who does not pledge himself to abide by
the action of our nominating convention
or primary election.
4th, Resolved, That we hereby freely
and cordially invite all persons of what

A Magic Mirror.
Spiritual Scientist. !

Spiritual Scientist
A lady resident IN a large city in New
York State purchased some time since in
Europe one Of those magic mirrors in
whose black concave surface the g con-
scious clairvoyant," rs Maj. Buckley
called those whose interior vision is open
ened while the person is awake, are able
to see the wonderful phantasmagoria of
the spirit-world.
1t is formed apparently out of great
black onyx, some 10 inches in diameter,
and is polished more highly than cut glass,
is framed in black, and rests upon a Grim
son silk pad in handsome morocco case.
At a recent seance the powers of this
bowl of fate were fully exmeplifed. A
clairvoyant woman gazed at it, and for
more than two hours described without a
moments intermissiOn landscapes, en-
blematic groups, scenes Transporting by land
and sea, In the snowy Businesses Of the
far north, and on the burning sands of
the great Sahara desert. The forms of
deceased friends fitted across it, and
messages were displayed on white sheets,
>or screens held up before the secress' eye.
Anon a mounted cavilier would dash into
the field of vision, or the exciting episode
of lion chase be exhibited. Take it all in
all it is one of the most curious of the phe-
nomina of the school of magic. The
potency of the magic mirror was vouched
for In the earliest historic periods. The
ancient Egyptian soothsayers used drop
of it in polished metallic basin, or a dark
fluid held in the palm of the hand. In
modern times the most famous among
the adopts in the form of divination was
DIR. Dee, whose magic crystal is still
preserved in the British museum, and
who fell a victim to the ignorant intoler-
ance of his times.
The true magic mirror is prepared by a
Highcastle priest, with solemn and pecu-
liar ceremonies. Its potency is supposed
to depend upon the nature of the ceremo-
MES, and it may be made to represent
either the dark side or the light side OF
nature-to attract either good or evil
spiritual influences.
Very large sums have sometimes keeu
paid for a good mirror, and the one in
question was thought a great bargain
at the price of $3.50, it having come from
India.

''FIGHTING Joe Hooker" of the Union
Army, does not take kindly to Gen.
Sherman's criticism of his military record
He expresses himself as follows of the
latter's memoirs, in a letter to the n. Y.
Times:
II have no objection in the world to
stating to you briefly my opinions in re-
gard to the extraordinary publication of
Gen. Sherman's Memoirs | think it is
the first instance recorded where a COM
mander cast aspersions in this manner on
his whole command. l have no taste for
responding to Gen Sherman's ISLANDERS,
but may do so, nevertheless, at the proper
time. Indeed, my own command almost
requires this Of me, and | shall not shrink
from the responsibility, no matter whether
these ISLANDERS emanate from the COM
mander of the army or any functiOnary of
the Government. / feel indignant at
the Dissertation of the honored names of
Thomas, Farragut, Mcpherson and a
host of others | might mention. l do
not envy the man who had it in his nature
to do so, as it seems Gen. Sherman had.
His march to the sea, in my judgment,
is not properly understood yet. Farra-
quits conception and execution of the
great capture of the Lower Mississippi
had much more influence on the close of
the war than anything that Gen. Sher-
mans army did. But people must not
be surprised at his stopping over, for he
has been doing this all his life. This is
enough, trust, to give the people an
index of my opinion of the Memoirs and
their author Apparently he is impa-
tient for advancement, when, l think, he
should be well satisfied with what he has
already obtained. He made war like a
brigand, while many other Generals new
er forgot they were making war on their
own countrvmen Gen. Grant learned
the character OF his lieutenant long before
the war was ended, and now, if Sherman
is ignored by the Administration, he can
only thank himself for it. The march
to the sea up to Atlanta was well done,
but beyond that the enemy disappeared
from before Sherman's army and followed
Thomas, who demolished them at Nash
Vile. 1t is ridiculous to talk of Sher-
mans having ended the war, put up the
price of gold, or taken Richmond. He
had no more to do with any of these than
the man in the moon. He did, however,
leave black streak in his rear, for which,
no doubt some of his countrymen justified
him. l think, however, that it will some
time or other, be considered disgraceful
by the great Christian world.

The baleful influence of the Beecher
scandal has destroyed the confidence
hitherto reposed in the cloth. In rural
districts this is alarmingly noticeable.
On Sunday last this distrust deprived an
estimable Westchester matron of the OPP
portunity. to her most dear, of attending
divine service in the church of her choice.
The scene is pleasant little village not
many miles from Mt. Kisco, and the min
lister and the lady are near neighbOrs,
their respective residences being separa-
ted only by the width of the main street
The minister is middle-aged, goOd-na-
tured and favorite. 1t was his custom
every Sunday to give his estimable par
ishioner a seat in the family carriage, so
that she might not have to walk half q
mile to church. On Sunday the DOM
inie's carriage drew up in front of the
lady's door She was waiting, and,
busting down, prepared to get in, declin-
ing the parsons proffered aid. Suddenly
she noticed that she was alone. "Where
is your wife ?" she asked abruptly.
She is not well enough to 60 to church
to-day, was the reply. " Where is
your daughter? was the next query,
and the answer was, IS She stayed at
home to take care of her mother. An
instant of hesitation followed. Then the
lady turned her head upon the pastor,
saying. 4 guess won't go to church
with you ; there is so much scandal about
nowadays. She is ninety years Of age.
