MISSISSIPPI.
Row in the Republican Camp.

A special from Senatobia, Miss, ofthe
18th, to the Memphis Appeal, says:
The Radical convention here to-day
broke fairly in two in the middle. One
wing assembled under the trees in front
of the hotel and unanimously nominated
G. Wiley Wells, of Marshal county, for
congress. The other wing assembled in
the courthouse, and. with equal unanim-
itv, nominated A r Howe, Of Pamela.
Both wings claim that theirs was the reg
ular body, and denounce the Others as
boilers. The Wells wing have the ad-
vantage of having been organized and
presided over by ex Chancellor Stearns,
chairman Of the executive committee OF
the district 1t also had with it the sec
retary of said committee. The Howe
wing claim the advantage of meeting in
the appointed place, and having ma
Jerity OF the delegates. There were
twenty -four delegates in the Howe con
venton, Wells is supported by ex Sena-
tor Pease, Attorney General Harris, ex-
Senator Revels, and majority OF the
white leaders He also has considerable
negro followers. Howe has not so many
of the white leaders, but majority
/ among the negro delegates. Both declare
their intcntionitn fight it out to the bitter
end. There was an immense crowd OF
negroes here, and violence was feared
but everything passed off quietly. A
large number of Democrats were present
enjoying the scene, and they are jubilant

THE EDITORIAL EXCURsIONIsTs,

1t is no part of the REPUBLICAN to de-
ceiye or fatter the people of Louisiana,
and it will not attempt to mislead others
who are comparatively strangers, though
citizens of the same great country. The
gentlemen and ladies who SO recently left
the snow-clad hills and Wales and ice
bound r~ivulets and rivers of Indiana to
com South and bask in its genial sun
shine and dwell for a short while in its
groves, richly perfumed with orange
flowers and revel in a sumptuous display
of the beauties of the fowery kingdom,
and perchance become enchanted with the
melody OF the mock-bird's song certainly
will not leave with reason to feel that
they have been disappointed in the re-
alization of all they had been led to
believe nature had done for this, in some
respects, highly favored portion of our
country. Everything seems to have con-
spired to enable our sunny land to put
its best foot forward at the very time when
the excursionists were to make their
advent among US. The faces of our
people, like the face of Dame Nature,
were wreathed in smiles, even the White
League Democrats vieing with tie most
peaceable Republican in acts of gentle
nsss and kindness.
Now, while it does us good to record
these facts, We would remind our Indiana
e2cursionists that Louisiana, like other
States, hA it's dark side as we'll as its
bright side; and the dark side, during the
past few years, has been oftener visible
than the bright side. The chief cause of
this has been more attributable to the
clouds that have obscured our political
horizon than those which occasionally OBJ
struct the sight of heaven. 1t is proper
to mention this now to prevent any decep-
lion being practiced upon those who
come among us in search Of the honest
whole truth-in regard not
only to our soil, climate, productions and
