The Jackson Times seems to b,
considerably exercised about that
t,ro thousand Radical majority in
this county that We propose t" have
a determined people overcome at

however, to act fairly, trusting To

10 overcome the two thousand Rad

the Times to marshal sufficient in

stronghold upon the Republican
party. Yet we have never stopped
to inquire how the Times proposes

time, talent and energies to redeem
Madison county from the power OF

Speaker Blaine is very fearful
that the people of the South are not
loyal, and that it would not be safe
for Northern politicians to come
South to address our people. We
can assure the distinguished gentle
man that he has not kept up with
the times, and is entirely oblivions
of what has happened in the South
in the past eight years. These
Southern States have been stumped
by Radical politicians, ninc-tenths
of whom are Northern men. They
have used all manner of foul and i'll
sulting means to carry our state and
county elections. They have fired
the hearts of the freedmen in ha-
tired to their former master; they
have lied to them and lied against
us; yet their precious carcasses
have not been molested. They have
been denounced, it is true, for their
ncfarious crimes against decency
and law. They have been under the
ban of ostracism, spurned and de-
spised by all honest men because
their GRAND in our section was tor
no other purpose than selfish and
unholy motives-to stir up strife,
unscttle our public and domestic al
fairs and to bring upon us misery
and suffering. The South has been
Hooded with carpet-bag politicians
and orators and the people have
endured them, but when Messrs.
Lamar and Gordon visited New
Hampshire this spring how were
they treated Were they not post
ed all over New England as Rebels
Was there anything but Kindness in
their speeches )? Let the North
send such men as these to he South
to talk with our people and we guar
antee them a cordial, respectful
welcome.

The Iazoo Herald of the 2Sth
ult contains the following, and II Is
not one whit more than that iuilcia-
nv fraud, Ben Cunningham, deserves.
1t is high time that our state was
rid of such expensive and incompe
tent .j"dgsS;
1t is our duty once more to call
attention to the hayward and i'm
proper action of our Circuit Judge.
Tine court WAS convened on the
first day of the term, the grand jul
nv sworn and charged, and every
thing organized for business
Some twenty eases only were set
for trial on the jury docket; and
these for the most part involved but
salm sums, and were unimportant.
Yet, with that supreme Indifference
to the public interest which has al
ways characterised Judge Cunning
ham, he pottcred along with the
business and occupied one whole
week and Il half in trying these few
cases. On the 20ih inst, he began
calling the trial docket, and contin-
ued throughout the day. Resum-
ing tho call on Friday morning the
DIST inst, the case of Sch9fer vs..
Fontaine was called. This case was
opened the testimony for the plain
tiff closed, and that for the defence
commenced. During the cross OK
animation of the first witness toI
the defense, the Judge adjcdrncd
the court until Tuesday the 18th
inst, on no other plea, end for nc
other reason or excuse than that he
wanted to go bone. At the mo
mcnt of Adjournment there must
have been thirty or forty witnesses
in attendance in cases filed Tor trial
and that could have been tried on
Friday and Saturday. Many Of
these witnesses had tray eled long
distance and been in attendance foi
several days. They have now gone
back to their homes, disguised with
the administration of justice and as
sert they will no longer dance at
tendance in the courthouse and
await the uncertain, arbitrary ac
ton of the Judge. Who can blame
them? All this put together amounts
to Il denial Of justice
How long are we to stand this
Shall we patiently submit TO this
diciional action from q Judge who
to say the least. is not superior tc
Chief Justice Marshall in learning
Shall we tamely acquiesce in this IL
legal and uniusufiable conduct o.
the Judge? Shall we quietly allow
this Judge, for his own whim, OF
for matter of taste, and to crafty
some passion, to adjourn or inter
nit the court ut will and thus no
only deny justice to Migrants, bu
derangc the entire business of the
community 2 If the crops are moi
properly attended to promptly, great
loss must result. But people can
not chop out and mould cotton AM
remain at the same time IN the
courthouse. This the Judge dom
trouble himself to think about. He
only looks to the collection Of hi:
salary and is oblivious TO every
sense of duty. 1t is time that some
action was taken by Quo Warrant
to GUST him from an office which he
illegally holds, as some think
or to break him by impeachment
if the Quo JVdrranto cannot be sus
tanned.

Our yicksbur. contemporaries

Our Yicksburg contemporaries
the editors of the Herald and Moni-
tor, have recently been throwing a
great deal of dirty dirt that should
have been reserved for the foes and
enemies of our state. Choice arti-
~Ies of dirt should only be applied
TO choice subjects, and we regret to
noe the waste our friends of Vicks
burg have been making But Sc
riously, a very big and very serious
tuss has grown out of very small
