From the Conservative Democrat
This distinguished gentleman spoke at
the court house last Saturday. His speech
was earnest and hopeful, embodying a
forcible arraignment of Ames and the
satellites of whelps by whom he is sur
rounded, an enthusiastic exhortation to
the white people to throw aside whatever
apathy and indifference affects them, and
devote themselves to the glorious struggle
that is being made for the redemption Of
their State, and a manly appeal to the
colored people to unite with their white
friends and stand shoulder to shoulder
with them in their efforts to secure honest
and capable government for all.

The Militia.

The CLARION advises the Democratic
Conservative whites to 90 intothe militia.
We think the advice is good and should
be followed, We know Ames don't want
white companies, that his only hope OF
carrying the election is to have negro
militia provoke disturbances, and thereby
have an excuse for arming more negroes.
The best way to meet this is to tender
white companies, and if he refuses to re.
ceive them, let him take the responsible

Convention Of CoIored People.

AUGUSTA, Oct. S--The colored convention
assembled here to-day, for the purpose of
refuting the charges that the negroes inten-
ded an Instruction, and to determine what
course was best for the colored race to pur-
sue. About fifty delegates were in attend
ance. H. NJ. Turner in a speech attacked
the weak General Government for its con-
duet to the cOlored people of the South.
Resolutions were introduced by Edwin
Belcher thanking Judge Herschel V. john
son, who tried the Washington county pris-
oners, for the rigid spirit of fairness and
impartiality he had displayed, evincing an
infexible determination to accord the par
ties implicated full measure of justice.
A resolution was also offered, discounte-
nancing and condemnng lawlessness, when
and however manifested, and stating that
the mutual dependence of the two races in
the South is so evident, that the promptings
of interest, if no higher consideration, die
tate the cultivation of amicable relations as
the only road to true and permanent pros
perity.
Resolutions were offered, depreeating the
appointment by the Administration of luke
warm Republicans and avowed Democrats
to office in Georgia. There was great deal
of discussion on emigration Turner recon-
mending Africa, Belcher and others advo-
eating remaining in the State, as all bitter
ness was dying away.

The Chicago Times, non-partlzan,
outspoken newspaper, reflects the average
independent Norther1 feeling 10 regard
to Ames unscrupulous game to get up
a war Of races in Mississippi in order 10
bring federal bayonets into play in the
pending election. Speaking of the Goa
homa emeute, the Times says;
Mr.. Ames is determined that, II II lies In
hfs small arm and weak brain. there shall
be a real tirst-class outbreak in Mississippi.
Forced 10 accept the Attorney Generals
final dicta on the late emeute, he seems to
have gone to work with more circumspec-
ton, and means TO have blood and bones TO
conjure with this time. The dispatch from
Helena indicates that the old tactics have
been to some extent abandoned. The ne
groes are 70 be tneed 10 attacks upon the Uhit e.,
and, when the latter turn in evaporation
and begin indiscrimlnate determination,
which the Ames folks suppose inevitable,
then the conditions which Mr.. Pierrepont
represented as justifying federal aid may be
very readily brought about. Since Mr.
Ames' term is 80 short and since there
seems no other promise OF making another
term possible, this may be regarded as the
final n,ove in the intricate game Of cdrpet-bdg-
gerry, which has played Itself out in The South &.

Ames' DOiEags.

Raymond Gazette.l
Ames writes to Thomas l. Hunter,
Esq, Mayor of Raymond, requesting him
Immediately to take steps in bringing
to trial and punishment all persons en-
gagged in the late disturbance in Clinton"
This would be impudence, if it were not
insolence. There are no persons in
Raymond or the vicinity who did not act
strictly on the defensive at Clinton. At
jackson, however, protected by Ames
and his subordinates, and as free as air,
are the men who brought on the Clinton
affair and murdered fleeing white men as
fast as they could be Overtaken. Why
does Ames call for the arrest of men at
Raymond, and let the ringleaders of the
affair pass him every day at jackson un-
arrested?

ballots, If possible, at the different boxes.

The Pilot, after referring to our appeal
TO the Southern Republicans to enter a
protest against the arming of the muir
derers whose hands are red with the
blood Of Southern men, says: And
+" now the matter has reached point
beyond the control Of Chandler, Davis
" and others
The PHO. is mistaken If it thinks that
we ever, for moment, thought that any
protest from a Southern Republican
would have The slightest influence with
Ames and his desperate gang. We have
known that ever since Ames came into
power they have had no influence to
shape the course Of the Republican party
either for good or evil. More than that /;
they are looked upon with suspicion and
distrust by the carpet-bag ring.
The Pilot is still more in error if it
supposes that we are attaching much
importance to the negro militia. In our
opinion il amounts to little except 50 far
as il shows the animus of the man who
sits il the Executive chair. The negro
militia could be swept from the face of
the earth so quickly that they would not

ignorant dupes who have allowed them
selves to be placed in position which,
but for the forbearance of the whites,
would bring war to them and theirs for
ever. But they need not be afraid.
They will not be interfered with. The
Democrats and Conservatives know
full well that Ames wants a conflict be-
tween his negro militia and the citizens
SO that he may carry the election with
the Federal bsyonet. They know that
a glorious victory for honesty ard reform
is within their grasp, and for that reason,
if no other, they will bear and forbear
yet little while longer the insult that
is offered them.
AS to the Southern Republicans, il
was for their own sakes as well as their
country's that we made the appeal to
them. They have seen desperate and
disappointed adventurer, with his heart
black with hatred to white people of the
State, and attempting under guise oflaw to
produce such condition of affairs as will
enable him to wreak vengeance, through
the Federal government, upon people
who he knows full well have a profound
contempt for him and his kind If they
choose to repudiate him, there will be
great rejoicing i'll the ranks of their old
friends, and the fatted calf will be killed ;

Brandon Republican,
We suppose that few of our readers
personally know Major Hemingway, our
candidate for State Treasurer. We wish
to say that he is ono of the purest and
best men in the State, is Master Of the
State Grange--has been repeatedly hon.
ored by his county in positions of trust,
and is worthy of any distinction that the
State can confer ON him.
We would caution our people not to
forget in the excitement Of the county
and district elections to see that the name
of W. L. Hemingway is on every ticket.
He comes fully up to the Jeffersonisn
standard, faithful, honest and capable,
and when he takes charge of the keys,
the Treasurer's office will cease to be a
place of peculation and rings.

What MIR. a. n. kimbalI Says

Mr.. A. N. Kimball, of the Pilot. is
presumed to be well informed about the
schemes of Ames and his clan. Here is a
statement which he is alleged to have
made few days since on the cars, which
has been published in the Chicago Times {;
Kimbell, leading Mississippi State
official, told travelling companion on the
cars two days ago, while on route to
jackson, Miss, that the Ames party
would riot the State and precipitate a
conflict within week or two. 1t there
fore appears that
THE ROW AT FRIAR's POINT
is Just the thing to please the present
State official
This statement is fully confirmed by
all of Ames' action. He is calling the
freedmen from their work in every direc,
ton and arming them in the hope that the
conflict will be preciptated. 1t is the
last card ola desperate political trickster
and will fail him. If he fails to bring
on "a conflict his cause is lost, and If hi
brings it on, he will probably lose his Owl
bacon as well as his cause.

Caldwelrs (negro) company in the direc-

the county, with the design of bringing
on fight with the whites, and thus Sc
cure Federal Intervention. There has
been no disturbance of the peace in that
part of the county in several weeks, and
he can have no other but this blood
thirsty motive. Our counsel continues
to be, as it has been, to our people, not to
accept the gage of battle thus rendered,
but at the same time to be prepared to
repel the invaders and protect their
homes and fresides, if difficulty is
forced upon them in spite of all their
efforts to prevent it.
