racy and conservatism, without

County Executive Committee, 1
have thought it my duty to super

White men and colorcd men, it
is a necessity of your situation that
you should dwell together in peace
and harmony. War between you
means ruin to you both, famine,
decentralization, social decay.
Can you not introduce into poll
tics that mutual confidence which
exists between you in every other
relation of life? Can you not agree
together on good men to hold your
offices, who will inauguratc econc-
my and honesty IN the administra-
ton of public affairs !?
Counterfeit the poison of alien in
reference by coming together of
your own motion and resolving,
together, to redeem your state. 1t
cannot be done by either of you
separately. Race line in politics is
destruction. Wipe it ont, eoncen-
trate on honest, patriotic m n
whom all can trust. 1t is impossi-
BILE in Legislation to damage either
of you without damaging both. Sc
lect men who have the intelligence
TO understand your wants, the
prompting of n common interest to
provide for them, ..and the honesty
not to betray you from motives of
seltishness or greed.
What care you for National poll
tics? The greater evil of corrupt
State Government monopolizes
your attention. You differ nothing
in political belief. Your platforms
are nearly tho same. Your differ
ence is as to men, and the present
rulers are VIGOROUSLY corrupt.
Black men know nothing of poll
tics. They have never been taught
it. They hear no thing from the
rostrum, read nothing in their po-
litical journals except an unjust ar
raignment of the whites for imagi
nary wrongs.
Let this race suspicion cease. 1t
works harm to both races and ad-
vantage TO only few unworthy mon
who would set them together by the
ears in order that they may steal
from both. Join your strength,
unite your forces and pull your
state out of the miro.
When the vultures can no longer
fatten from your hostility they will
wing their flight to other chimes
and you will be at peace.

The recent disaster at Galveston,
Texas, began on the 18th inst with
heavy winds and rain, lasting sixty
hours. Thirty lives were lost and
over two hundred houses were
blown down or washed away. There
is much suffering among the people,
and the loss of property is incalcu-
liable. AT Indianola the storm was
still moro disastrous. Only FIVE
business houses are left standing IN
the business portion Of the city.
The beach for miles is strcwn with
dead bodies. 1t is estimated that
not less than one hundred and fifty
lives are lost. The suffering among
all classes is very great.

The New York II crald, referrin.

ThG New York Ill crald, referring
to the recent troubles, says:
These Mississippi Democrats are
inst now doing good deal to make
a third term possible and to cause
q reaction in the North toward the
EXTREMIST measures of the Radical
Republican policy. In fact, they
could not do more if they wore
hired and paid by Senator Morton
OF course, like Paddy Miles boy,
however right we may be, we are
always wrong, with some people at
the North. We happened once to
be their enemies, and, therefore,
can't be in the right in anything.
If we defend ourselves we are de-
nounccd as murderers. If we were
killed in our beds tho Northern
press would justify our slayers on
a plea that we were loud snorcrs.
The Herald's language however
is a fair sample of the Northern
press. Let us learn from it to be
doubIy vigilant to keep the peace
At any rate let us be in the right nj
ways, and have our conscience
clear.

1t is significant fact that the
Yazoo disturbance arose because of
the efforts of a white man TO protect
a negro in his right to speak. Tho
white man was shot at for this Of
tense. 1t is also significant that
there were 200 negroes present and
their present carpet-bag leaders, 6
or in numbcr-and only 8 or
8 democrats, and only 5 of them
arm Ell.
At Clinton the whites were out
numbered 100 to one, and there
tho blacks brought on the contest
by their insolent and oppressive ac-
sion, and it is established beyond
doubt that from them came the
first shot, and that the whites re-
treated before their overwhelming
numbers.
At Vickshurg, we all know there
was an organized invasion of the
city by the blacks, and that this led
40 the conflict there.
And yet the Republican journals
and delegations" call these con
flicts "massacres of limo cent, unof
tending Republicans by organized
bands of white men," and their ea
parte statements are believed by a
de~potic and partisan administers
ton. The hostile attitude of the

any vile falsehood in order to shift

Harper's Weekly, as Republl-
can party measure, distinctly de-
clares war on the Roman Catholic
Church. In its last issue, in an ar
ticle styled Secret Political Socie-
ties" after giving q rap to the ticti-
tious organizations of the "ku llluX"
and "Whlte League" which exist
only as pigments of the Imagination,
that journal denounces Catholicism
as announcing n "policy fatal to
American republican institutions, +"
but advocates an open fight, and
says, eff we cannot beat the politi-
cal Roman Church in fair and
open American contest, we deserve
defeat"
Here it is. Here is the bold, bald,
unvarnished, startling proposition
to stamp religious intolerance on
the seal of political faith.
Doomed is the party which is
driven to the desperate shift of
invoking sectarian prejudice to adj
vance its cause, Which, to secure
success, would drnggle the robes of
religion in tie cess-pool of politics.

GEN. J. z. GEORGES LETTER ON THE
LEGISLATION OF 1865.

-
to reproduce, in crtenso, this mas
terly and exhaustive state parer.
1t is to be hoped that all our read
ers are subscribers, as they ali ought
TO be-to that unapproact.able po-
litical journal, the Jackson Clarion
and can read the a,ole campaign
document above mentioned for
themselves. We can only offer
them, in the MAIL, an imperfect syn
opsis of it, as follows:
This Legislation so obnoxious to
the blacks cannot be laid to the
charge of the Democratic party, be-
cause that party did not exist as an
organization in Mississippi in the
year 1865, and men who had, be-
fore the war, been democrats were
not in the majority in the legisla-
ture enacting those laws. In fact
prominent democrats were then
general y excluded from Office, and
no democrat was elected to either
house of congress or rs Governor
that year, and only one man, pre-
viously eminent as democrat, was
member of that legislature, and
it comprised many who were af-
forwards leading Republicans. so,
if the blacks are to act on prejudice
because of that legislation it must
be against the whites, as a race, and
not against any political party as
being responsible for it.
If the blacks refuse to help US to
secure fair, equal, honest govern
mont from fear of loss of their
rights, if we are held by them az
enemies, and, on that ground, not
politically trustw orthy, "then in
deed do the rights of the coIored
race rest for security upon most
unstable and frail foundation"
The whites outnumber the blacks
ten to one in the Union and the ra-
ito Is yearly increasing. True, they
outnumber us in Mississippi, but,
the whites possess the wealth and
own the lands, and if the worst
comes, in order TO prevent confisca-
ton they will "give away part to
saye the remainder" and make a
| free gift of their lands to white I'M
migrants.
The blacks cannot afford to
ground their hopes on the Repub-
Iican party, for that is fast crum-
bling TO pieces. They cannot "af-
ford to act on the idea that their
rights are unsafe with Democrats, .
because the democratic party is
rapidly coming into power, They
ought, " as tho white race docs, to
place the security of their rights
upon the constitution and the good
faith of the whole American people
and thus be restrained by no be
numbins fear, nor false prejudice
from peri forming that highest duty
of American citizenship, active co
npcratior with any party--or race

Tho Republican delegation to

troops sent hero for the purpose of
