THE ELECTION OF 1879.
A Timely Warning.

From the Daily Tmrs we have copied
an authentic report of the discussion III
the Radical Executive Committee al
their meeting last week The true in
wardness of the discounted officeholders
was revealed at. this meeting. They
were sadly disappointed, and abused each
other, and everybody else, in round style.
But the noticeable feature of the whole
description, was the lament over the
failure of Gov. Ames to obtain United
States troops as allies of the Radicals in
the canvass. President Grant was charged
with having refused to comply with
the call for them because the Republican
State Convention did not endorse his
Administration and give him a lift fol-
the third term. If this charge, which
seems not to have been con.radicted, be
true, the President himself has shameful
ly fslsifed. The grounds on which he
refused to furnish troops were that the
Governor had not called for them in the
manner required by the Constitution,
and that even if he had, he had stated
no case to justify the President in grant
ing the application. "And, above all, said
the President, 1.-THE people of the whole
country are tired and disguised with
these autumnal appeals for troop;
&C from the Southern States" This is
what the President said, but the mem.
bers of the Republican Executive Com
mittee charge that in refusing help to the
sinking RAIDS, he was simply gratifying
petty spirit of revenge.
This, however, is a small matter COM
pared with the main fact brought out in
this discussion. 1t is that the Radical
leaders are by no means prepared to sur
render; that they have resolved tC
gather up their forces for desperate
struggle to regain their lost ground, and
that it is confidently expected the mil.
itary of the United States will be brought
into requisition in the canvass of 1876.
This is the main reliance of the Radical
spectators for carrying the State. Gen.
Grant has satisfied his revenge for the
insult put on his Administration, and
when the Presidency is the prize at stake,
and not miserable apology of carpet
bag Administration in a reconstructed
State, call for Federal troops will meet
u very different reception from the one
which was given the call of Gov. Ames,
in our late canvass. But this call will
not be made, if Gov. Ames is held to
proper accountability for his repeated and
fragrant violations of the Constitution,
By majority of 80, 900, the people have
demanded that he shall be.

The Responsibility of the Public
Agent 10 the People.

The glory of republican govern
ment is that the servants of the people
are responsible to the people. But the
Radical schemers, when they obtained
power in this state with Ames' bayonets,
sought to overturn this essential princi-
pie of free government by rendering the
oGce.holder Independent of the people.
Thus they provided for the election OF a
Governor every four years, instead of
every two, as in former times; and they
took from the people the power of elect
ing judges, either by popular voice, or by
the Legislature fresh from the people, and
Invested their appointmentin the hands
of the Governor, and in thus trampling
underfoot the Democratic principle of
election, they also struck fatal blow at
the rule laid down in the constitution of
their own creation that the Judicial de-
partment should be independent of the
Executive. Taking advantage of the
opportunity afforded him by the appoint
ing power, Gov. Ames sought to control
the action of Judges, and even went to
the extent of removing from office per-
sons whom he had already clothed with
the ermine, because they would not con-
sent to execute his will in the discharge
of their solemn duties. 1t is for the
Legislature to do its utmost in rescuing
this fundamental doctrine from the dust
into which it has been trampled by the
usurpers who have lorded it over the
people of the State for the past six years,
and re-establish it as the permanent, ir-
reversible law of the commonwealth.

The Lynching of Patterson by Col.
Ored Men.

A loud wall goes up from the Radical
organs over the lynching of Patterson, in
Yazoo, but they forget to say anything
about the unfortunate colored man whom
he caused to be murdered. 1t turns out
that it was all the work of colored people.
Patterson and his accomplice were color
ed, and he was tried, condemned and
executed by colored men-twO-thirds of
whom were, no doubt, Republicans. The
Yazoo Herald says:
On being captured, the murderer con-
fessed everything; and upon his testimo-
ny Patterson was arrested and adjudged
guilty BY the large number of negroes hvirlq
on the place arhere the bloody deed euas COM
mitted the might before. They acre terribly
excited against him. His body, when next
seen, was in state of suspension. The
negro who acted as Patterson's proxy,
upon the bloody occasion in question, is
now in Jail, and it is only question of
time when he, too, will take swing at
the expense of the county.

Reform Inn our City Administrau
lion.

The deep interest which was displayed
by the large meeting of citizens to nomi-
nate candidates for city officers, on Fri.
day night, is misinterprcted if it be sup
posed that it was caused by an interest in
persons who were aspirants for nomina-
tons. 1t had a far different significance.
1t was the outward manifestation of a
determination by the solid, taxpaying
people of this town, to put a check on the
enormous burden of taxation. The reso-
buttons of Mr. John w. Robinson looking
to this result, were passed by unanimous
vote, and they but inadequately express
the determination of the citizens to redress
wrongs which they are now suffering in
the shape ofinordinate taxation and bur-
densome administration.

of the payment of taxes according to the
requirements Of the law, and thus a de-
lay in the collection of taxes necessita-

Whereas, 1t is generally believed that

Resolved, That it is a bounden duty
which our Senators and Representatives
elect owe the taxpaying citizens of the
county, to urge the passage of bill in
the next Legislature, which has for its
object the relief of all persons from the
penalty of the law who failed to pay
taxes by the first of December, and also
provide for an extension of the time for
the collection of taxes, until our legally
elected and qualified collector is installed
into Office.
Resolved, That our Senator and Repre-
sentatives be requested to vote for and
use their influence in behalf of J. Z.
George, as the man for u. 8. Senate.
Resolved, That when it may please
Gov. Ames to appoint a successor to
Judge Cunningham, we respectfully re-
commend the appointment Of R. A. An

Resolved, That this club meet the
second Saturday in each month during
the years 1875 and rs.
Resolved, That the Secretary be re-

The Outlook.

There is sound sense in the following
observations of Ex-senator H. V. M.
Miller, of Georgia, on the political stu
alton. The only comment we have to
make upon it, is that the less stock the
Southern Democracy invests in the cur
rency agitation the better:
60 You see, it is confessed on all sides,
and clinched beyond denial by Mississip-
PTS work last week, that the Democrats
will carry the South solid, except South
Carolina. With sound currency plat
form they are certain of New York,
California, and Indiana, which would
elect their candidate and give them four
votes over. But, in addition to this, they
would have the chances in New jersey,
Connecticut, Wisconsin, New Hampshire,
Ohio and Oregon. Of these States
should consider Connecticut, Wisconsin,
and New Jersey practically ours. Ohio
hangs by hundred or so votes, and a
vigorous canvass would probably win it. J"
The Ex-senator thinks the money ques-
ton the most popular one, and that the
only right side is the honest one. On this
point he said "There is a great deal
better reason for standing by the old hard
money doctrine than all l have given you
combined, and that is because it is the
honest doctrine. 1t is the only doctrine
that is right. 1t is the only doc
trine that is true. 1t is the only
doctrine that is just. And let me tell you
one thing, young man, that you may
write down. The true doctrine, the hon
est doctrine, the doctrine that gives JUS
tice to all men, is the only doctrine that
will win in politics or in life"
