Of the Legislature and insist upon
suoh legislative reforms as the in
terests of the State imperatiyely
require. They can exact the re.
peal of such Infamous acts as the
Election and Registration laws,
and the humiliation Of the fraudu-
lent Returning Board, or else the
stopping OF the wheels Of govern
ment by Withholding all legislative
appropriations until such reforms
are conceded by tile radical Senate
and bogus Executive.
A formal protest against the so
called census and an exposure of
its fraudulent character should be
made and q resolution adopted
declaring against any apportion-
ment being made under its pre-
tended results by the next Legis-
lature.
Finally the convention might
close ITS labors with petitioning
The Legislature to arrange for d
popular vote, at the next general |
for or against State
Constitutional Convention to sit
jome time in the year 1877.
These are some of the most i'm
oortant subjects for the considera-
ion of the State convention, and
re feel confident that they will be
ealt with in that spirit and with
hat wisdom and intelligence that
re characteristic of our people.

The latest dispatches from Mis-
sissippi report that the democrats

sional delegation, with the posi-
ble-though not probable -excep-
ton of Seal, of the Sixth District.

Mr.. Seal, is a negro, formerly the

Natchez, afterwards Speaker of
the Mississippi House of Repre-
seDtatiVes, and member of the last
United States, Congress. Though
Of the saddle colored complexion,
he Is man of considerable ability,
and has been considered as rather
conservative in his political views.
Mr.. L. @. @. Lamar, one of the
most eloquent and influential
members from the South Of the
present Congress, has been re-
elected by an overwhelming ma
iority. In thus IGNORING him the
people Of his district have honored |
themselves.
Mr.. Singleton, elected from the
Fourth District, was member of
Congress before the war; was
member of the Confederate Con-
yress /; served as captain In the
var, and has since been i PROM
nent lawyer il the city Of Canton.
Though strong democrat, he has
always been a conservative in pol
tics, and has advocated the rights
# the negroes under the constitu-
ional amendments. He is a man
rho is highly esteemed by an citi
ems, white and black, and will ex-
rcise large influence ID CON
fess.
Col. Charles y. Hooker, elected
rom the Fifth District, is one Of
he most brilliant orators and
opular men in the State. He was
captain Of artillery iii the late
npleasantness, and lost an arm
the Confederate service i'll the
ght near Edwards Depot.
Mr.. M. p. Money, Of the Third
district, is q conseryative-demo-
rat, man Of talent, and hos the :
Misfortune Of belonging to the edi-
,rial fraternity.
We congratulate the people of
Mississippi on the gallant and

FAIL TO STAND THE TEST,

The New York Tribune, which,
since it began wandering after strange
gods, has kept pretty close to the
heels Of the Democracy, is at length
thoroughly Disguised. In speaking
of the action Of Governor Weston and
the Democratic majority of his Coun.
Gil in New Hampshire, in throwing
out many thousands Of legal votes in
order to give his party majority in
the Senate, it says: "The Democrats
Of New-Hampshire have again ex.
emplified that strange perversity Of
disposition so often remarked in the
history Of the party, by which great
opportunities have been FILTERED away
and permanent success wasted for
some miserable temporary advantage
gained by low cunning and petty
trickery. With all their clamor for
purity and uprightness, and all their
vehement denunciations of the cor.
ruption Of their opponents, they have
not the sincerity and manliness to act
fairly and justly when they have the
responsibility and the power. The
temptation to gain some small and
contemplate advantage by overreach.
ing and cheating, they have not the
strength or the courage to resist"

Fires broke out at all points. Two
hundred and fifty houses were burned,
and twelve hundred people rendered
homeless. The loss is 100000 !;

Osceola, was entirely destroyed. The
ties on the railroad track were burned
so that communication by rail was
cut off: In the mountain districts of

loss cannot now be estimated, but it
is very great. Rains have checked
the fires in some localities.

morning of Thursday burned twenty
five buildings. Loss 100000; in

Duluth had an uncomfortably mar

morning, and it was only by the most
strenuous efforts of the citizens; kept
up until evening, that the place was
saved from destruction. Fires are
still raging in the woods at the
Northern Pacific Junction, burning
haystacks, cord-wood, ties, telegraph
poles, and thousands of the finest
pine trees.
