The Standard OF eligibility 90 the
Democrattc-Conse


The DemOcratic-Conser party in
the Legislature will be responsible to
the people for the manner in which its
pledges Of reform are carried out but
It must be remembered that nothing can
be ehectually done without organization
aud concerted action. Aigid adherence
to the caucus system is therefore indis-
pensable in the selection Of candidates
and the determination Of questions Of
public policy. A standard Of eligibility
for admission into the caucus ought
therefore to be applied in every case.
No man should be admitted to its de-
alterations who will not avOw himself
member Of the Democrats or COnssrva-
tive (synOnymous terms) party.
Who viii not pledge himself to abide
by the decisions Of the caucus upon al
MATTERS, whether relating to the choice Of
men or questions Of public policy.
Who will not pledge himself to adhere
faithfully TO the Democratic (or COuser-
vative) party and support its nominees
in the approaching Presidential canvass.
No party can carry out its policy, nor
maintain its ascendency. which does
not adopt rigid measures for preserving
its unity and keeping up its organization.

The Proposed new Party of Pro.

preamble of the political organization
calling itself the patriotic Sons of
America" together with the qualifca-
tions of membership, 1t will be seen
that this organization is designed to be
composed entirely of native Amer
leans to the exclusion of citizens born on
a foreign soil; and that it is an ofshoot of
the idea which was embodied in the
''alien and seditiOn laws" enacted in the
first stages of the government during
the Administration of the elder Adams,
and which, then defeated by the party
of Mr.. jefferson, has cropped out al
subsequent well-remembered periods in
the history Of the country. The friends
of constitutional liberty, and the cham
pions of Democratic equality of right
without regard to- nativity or religious
creed, will stand ready to combat the
heresy in whatever form It may be pre-.
ssnted.

The late Revenue Collector, who claims
to represent the 9th District in the Sen
ate, publishes letter from Golored Rep
resentative Lynch, stating that on. exam
nation at the q. S. Treasury Department
he finds that the said Mcclure is net a
defaulter. This is not the way to put Il.
The charge Is that banking firm at
Meridian owed the Government s25, 900
revenue tax, and that Mcclure compro-
missed the claim with this solvent institu-
ton for 50 500, and only paid over $3.50
to the Government. Upon the facts a
grand jury found true bill against him.
Now are these statements trneS That is
the question which Lynch ought to have
inquired into. And II they are not true,
why did the Administration dismiss
Mcclure from office? The Senate is the
Judge Of the justification of its own mem
bers, and will no doubt satisfy itself on
these points in determining whether he
is eligible to seat or not.

many of our citizens who aspire to Sena-

East Mississippi's honored Colonel
Reuben o. Reynolds, of Monroe, whose
name l have seen suggested for e. S.
Senator, through the columns of the No
bile Register and New Orleans Pieayane,
as we'll as several of our State papers.
Col. Reynolds has never been a can
didate for political honors, but was
brought out BY the ''good and true" peo-
pie of his District, as their representa-
tive in the State Senate As lawyer he
is the peer of any man in the State-is
representative of the rank and file

than any other class, we are indebted for
the overthrow of Radicalism in our State.
East Mississippi claims-oar Legisla,

their champion, and onewho will refieci
as much credit on the State as the famed

lowing resolutions, introduced by Judge
Lacey, which were adopted at recent
meeting:
The following resolutions, introduced
by Judge Lacey, were, after discussion,
adopted:
Resolved, 1st, That the Democracy of
Chickasaw county, in convention assem-
bled, do recommend that the Legislature
Immediately upon its organization being
perfected, do prefer articles of impeach-
ment against Adelbert Ames, A. K. Da-
Wis and T. w. CardozO, thus as speedily
as possible relieving the Capitol of oul
beloved State from their polluting pres
ence.
I Resolved, I'd, That we regard with ex
treme disfavOr any action looking to |
compromise with Ames.
SENATOR MERRMoN, of North Caro-

national fame is already established
whose enlarged, comprehensive and ele-
vatcd craftsmanship win Immediately give
him commanding power and influence
in the National Councii-whose wide
reaehinga and extraordinary powers on ins
teilect will enable him al once to master
the political situation, and who, perceiy-
ing the right, will dare yindicate it, with
out thought Of personal consequences
to himself-whose nice discernment,
quick penetration, and close discrimina-
ton on questions Of national polity, win
furnish him with power to successfully
cope with the intellectual giants Of that
body, and make him the leader and chief,
and whose welI-known and universally ,ac-
knowIedged conservatism win be an earn

of January. 1875 the Radical Legisla-

to the recommendations and appeals OF
the taxpayers, who took the matter in
