the anguish, despair and torture Of the
three in the dark raiment of Radical
ism. Enough! T. there no relief? Il
there no help? Tnere is! The second
OF November, 1T The bsllOt-box; foI
there it is EN- lsmed in another large
transparency, representing
THE SHIP OF DEMOCRACY,
bearing the nstionsl colors OF France,
Germany and the United States
with the inscription, 'Homeward
hound" This transparency, ike ali the
other mounted ones of which we speak,
was nine by ii teen feet in its surface
side. The other mammoth transparent
fl Jats bore spp -OpTiatei inscriptions some
of which Were as follows: "In Union is
Strength Mississippi Expects Every
Man to do his Duty-The Ladies VIII,
GOD bless them" Oar Rights and our
Liberties" "Phe Union and the COnsti-
tuition Forever"
"OUR TICKET
was inscribed on one Of the Illuminated
floats, also the names OF the candidates,
AS follows: State treasurer, w. l.. Hem
ingway; district attorney, James T.
FAM; representative, w. r. Barksdal e (;
sheriff. l.. French chancery court clerk,
A. V. B Thomas; circuit court clerk,
Thomas Spencer; assessor, G. B. Jones;
coroner, Edward Bland. These are the
Democratic.C Conservative candidates,
Thomas Spencer and Bland being col
Ored men. This is another evidence Of
tae fact that the white Democrat can
live peacsb]y with the negro, and desires
to give him fair representation in the
preferments of emOlumeDts and office.
And if the negroes, as many OF them
declare they will, cooperate with the
white men, the result ere long will be
hat they shall be able to realize and en-
joy the blessings Of
"DEMOCRATIC RULE"
which inscription was a noticeable
feature in one OF the mammoth
floats or transparencies. Il wagon
loaded with cotton bales, and upon it a
family Of happy and conlented negroes,
constituted this picture. Above was
written, democratic Rule" while the
cotton was branded, prosperity" An
other fOst of especial significance, by
way of illustrating the fraieThal relations
that should exist betW cen the white
and the black people, bore picture
of cIaspei hands-tbe one white and the
other black-and above was inscribed
the words, "In Union is Strength" and
below, "Equality before the Law" The
reverse side recalled
A "REMINISCENCES OF BEN BUTLER
How couII we forget Ben, thst most
elegant model of proficient kleptoma-
niasm, the great and glorious hiped Of
perfected rascallty. No, Ben, we could
not forget you; and yet, without an
effort, your form, your grabs and your
deXterity in carrying away little articles,
such az spoons, siiVerware, etc, we're
recalled. This was doubtless due to
what psychologists term association OF
idess:D hence the life-siZe picture OF Ben
Butler carrying Ames home in a large
silver spoon. You see, Ben and Adel-
bert both have their homes in Massa-
Ben lives there, and Adeibert
will go there too, after the election, for
the sad experience of his public life
has doubtless convinced him that
''the pest of honor is a private station"
He ought to have appreciated the trans
parency which Tepres ented Mississippi
as q beautiful maiden falling under the
Estate Radical Debt, 81 900, Co.," and
exclaiming, as the words read, "Save
me. or l am Lostn Or it may be that
Adelbert could see the State fall, and
turning to his ravenOus minions say, as
they were preparing to plumber still
noe, "Act well your part, there all the
honor HcS." However, AdelbeTt, yout
fisnd Bonnie B. will carry you home.
THE RADICAL MENAGERIE
of Grenada county will compare favora-
bly, with that of any department i'll
Amesa circus and great political show.
Now perhaps Howe, Ozanne & Co, CT
Piano a county, might excel in some
specially; IN, fjI instance, as catching
pediler5 AID attaching their packs, tell
ing negroes the Democrats would Kill
them; liking tbs C unty's money and
!aiiing to TIL the truth even accident
ally. Nevertb eiess, the Grenada ''Radi-
cal menagerien Will Go, and constitutes
10 unworthy feature in the cate gory Of
iIlustrious ignorance and anomalous
shame. This float represented Kelly in
the form OF an ape, while VIM, Price,
the grand mOgul candidate for chancsTy
curt clerk was 8 hog; and Townsend,
the white Radical candidate for sheriff,
was VIOLIN sleeps clothing. This was
truly picture worthy the genius Of
Hogarth, and would accord with the
care Of Mast, the caricaturist, while as
an argument in behalf of the DarWinisn
theory, it was of matchIess fidelity.
THE WAGES OF SIN ARE DEATH.
Ifitapplied to political death, or official
every Radical ia this country
could merit unlimited wages, as 1t is the
of their aCt3 nave terrified
evan the cOl0Ted persons into the con-
Of d remedy for the relief Of
the community in which they live,
Perhaps the most noticeable of ali the
il. ninable floats in the proce 9sion to-
night Wss that Of hearse drawn by
lame mule, and driven by the de"il.
This he arse contained bier on which
reposed in death life-size figure repre-
senting William Price. Lights were at
the head and the feet of the PROSTATE
form over which stood the devil driving
his load to his realm. The transpar-
apcy bore the inscriptions, civilian
Price; died OF corruption November 2,
1875" and "Price in the Hands Of his
Master" On either side of the hearse
walked an imp Of perdition, bearing a
fl sming three-pronged spear, and re-
the spectator OF the old, old
song:
ibid you nebber see de debil,
Wild his wOOden-irOn shovel
And long-spiked tail,
Picking up de sinners wild his big t0e-nail?"
This was truly fearful picture, and
IN its hideous character, yet accurate
illustration of the official demise of the
subject-mstter Of illustration, was not
less terrible than the graphic scenes de-
picted by Virgil in his account of
visit to hell. This trsnsps.
rency and design were produced by Mr..
J. L. Glenn, a young gentleman OF Gre
NADIA who determined TO give prophetic
of the official death that at
tends corruption. 1t was severe, but it
was not uncallsd fer by the character Of
its subject.
