For the Telegraph,
DOWN THE GULF. -i

Down the steep and rugged hillside,
Where Dame Natures done her best
To induce tiny streamlet 81
4. To glide on in perfect rest;
Where the trees in wild profusiOn,
Shadow DER the little stream,
2 Making one almost forgetful
That lifei is not all dream.
8 There we went, just for ramble,
On a, summer afternoon,
Twas the season Of the harvest
In the month that follows June.
And we elambered down the hillside;
Down and farther down we went,
Til at last we reached the bottom,
There to rest awhile content.
All enrapt, we gazed around us,
Trees loomed up on either hand, :
While the sunlight sitting through them
Mingled beauty with the grand.
And we wandered through the ravine,
Wading in the brooklet' flow,
Looking vainly to find out where
All the tiny fishes go.
And the branches twined above US
From the trees so tall and high,
On the right and On the left bank,
- Seeming most to reach the sky.
Now anon the water deepened,
Down We went ere we could know,
Sure, We thought we'd learned the secre
OF where all the fishes go.
But splash or two, and like them,
Soon we wound our way along,
While the little waves kept dancing
To the brooklet's gentle song.
And we sang awhile together,
- Just to hear our voices rise,
To the living world above US
On level with the skies.
But more loud and trebly clearer,
Were our songs the culvert through;
Strange it seemed that so much music
Was produced by just US two!
Der the clear and pebly bottom,
Soon our homeward way we went,
Resting now upon tree trunk
Which across the stream was bent.
Climbing once again the hillside,
Tired somewhat, and clothing rent,
Feeling much as if we'd been gone
Half the forty days Of Lent.

The Ruin of Radical RuIe.

The document which we Law before the
public to-day from the Chairman of the
state Executive Committee, demonstrates
by official figures and facts, that unless
Radical rule is to cease in this State. gen.
eral bankruptcy and ruin is inevitable.
The experience of almost every taxpayer
is, that while his taxes are annually in
crossing, his ability to pay them is an.
nually decreasing; and thousands have
allowed their estates TO become forfeited.
simply because they were unable to meet
the demands of the Unsuitable tax eaters.
The crisis, however, has been reached
the burdens have become SO heavy and
SO oppressive that those who imposed
them will be hurled from place and
power, and men will take their places
whs will not only be pledged to economy
and reform, but who will have an indi-
vidual aid personal interest in reducing
expenses and securing good government
The miserable adventures who have for
the past ten years robbed the people to
enrich themselves, may as we'll under
stand that the taxpayers, whose petition
and appeal in January last they so stu
iiously ignored, have taken this matter
INTO their own hands, and will elect men
TO the legislative halls who will have !
some regard to the maxim, vor pop,sli cor
Del. A few more weeks, and Radicalism
n Mississippi will expire, with none so
mean as to do it reverence. The People
rave so declared, and their votes on the
econd of November will seal their sol
INN purpose.

We have never yet observed a revolu-
ton in government, in this or any other
country, which did not, in its final re-
suits, transcend the modest estimates of
the most enthusiastic friends of that
revolution. When a government is OPP
pressed with very bad rulers, and ma
tional affairs are tending toward corrup-
ton, the people (being patient and for
bearing), as a general rule, bear those
grievances for long time, hoping that a
reformation may come, through return
ing sense of justice on the part of their
oppressOrs. Finally, when hope begins
to fade, by the constant increase of
wrongs, few bold and vigilant lovers of
liberty become leaders in the work of
reformation and, as soon as the stan
dard of resistance is raised, the masses,
actuated by an undeveloped impulse al
ready engendered in their hearts and
minds, rise up in irresistible multitudes
and rally under the revolutionary stan
dard, even as one man, and sweep away
all opposition, even as a giant would
sweep away cobwebs in the path of his
advancing steps.
In monarchical and despotic govern.
ments, these reformatory revolutions are
usually effected by physical force. In
republican governments, where the
masses are sovereign, through the exer-
else of the ballot, reform and good gov
eminent are realized by exerting the
popular will through mere peaceful
remedies.
In the United States, and especially
in the State of Mississippi, there has been
inaugurated a peaceful revolution in
governmental affairs. This revolution
is deep-seated and widespread. The
spirit of this revolution is resistance to
corruption and misrule. As the rushing
tide advances in the minds of men, it
gathers volume and force, and its onward
course becomes swifter and stronger,
until it bears down all opposing barriers,
however strong, and reaches its ultimate
purpose and end-surprising even the
revoIutiOnists themselves by its amazing
power and thOroughness.
Even SO will the contest, at present
going on in Mississippi, between igno-
rance and corruption, on one hand, and
intelligence and honesty on the other,
sweep onward in its mighty course, grand
and all-conquering, until the last remains
of carpet-bag rascality shall have been
annihilated, and the people once more
made free, happy and prosperous by the
restoration of good government. Such
revol,.tions neuer 90 backwards !

Little Governor Ames wants a row in

the white people are SO discreet and
peaceful that they will not begin war

How Can YOU do h:

The organs of the party of plunderers
triumphantly inquire, very often, " How
is it possible to overcome, in the Missis-
sippi election, the thirty thousand major
ity which we have?" First, the RAIDS.
have no such majority, and never had.
Secondly, their former majority, what
ever it was, has faded away, by great
change of sentiment on the part of the
colored masses. The colored voters now
see matters for themselves. Do the SIM
pie Radical editors suppose that party
majority, once polled, is stereotyPed for
all time? Do they suppose that public
political sentiment, once procured by
rascally fraud, is enduring as the eternal
hills? Do they not know that public
opinion and public political action is al
ways changing, like the sands of the sea,
whenever the proper forces are spilled to
affect the reason of men? Do not those
editors know that vast heaps of snow dis
solve gradually, yet surely, whenever
warm sunshine falls upon them Does
it follow that because party humbugs
the masses and secures a majority at a
given election, that such majority becomes
for all future time a kind of fee-simple
tenure, a vested right, fixed means of
carrying on bribery, extortion and steal
ing for all the years to come? Poor
simpletons! They feel secure, on the
thin crustof an upheaving volcano! We
don't mean physical action, but change
of public sentiment.

CAMPAIGN SCRAPS.


The present system of common schools
Is a humbug. One million of dollars
was spent last year, with very little ad-
vancement in learning. The mod,ts ope-
randi is a very few hours of instruction
each day-scheol house closed eight
months il the year; greedy swarm of
useless drones, in the shape of school
officers, doing nothing and living high on
extravagant salaries, squandering the
vast school fund in thieving combinations
and contracts for fine furniture and use
less books, and for building fine school
houses. The whole thing is an abortion
"a swindle-a carpet-bag fraud on the
people.
The Democrats propose to reform all
these abuses to have good schools ten
months in the year; to cut off all lazy,
useless officers; get good teachers re-
ducing the number) and pay them well
build plain, cheap houses, and give all
black and white, good educa-
ton in the useful branches, for half the
money now spent.

! 1865 the value of land forfeited for taxes
was S607 ,632, being about one-half OF
one per cent. on the value of land in the
State. In 1875 the number of acres
/ forfeited is about s 800, 900, or over %
per cent. of the value of all the land in
the State In 6, 800, 600 acres there is
little over 10000 square miles, more
than one-ffth OF the total area of the
State, or about fourteen average coun-
ties.
We have become so used here to see
evidences of decay and destruction of
wealth, that we do not readily take in
the full import of these enormous figures.
The land forfeited in Mississippi for
taxes, and which was once private pro-
perry, constitutes a larger area, by two
thousand square miles, than the States
of Connecticut, Rhode Island and Della
ware combined larger than Massachu-
sets and Delaware combined larger by
near !, 700 square miles than New Jer-
sey; larger than New Hampshire, and
nearly as large as Maryland.
Under a good government all these
lands would be held by private owners,
and would be supporting thriving
population
This year there will be large increase
in the area of land forfeited. The taxes
which ought to be collected from these
lands must be collected from the remain
der. Thus every year the taxes will be
increased, and there will be less and less
property topay them. Can we stand this
Is Mississippi alone, of all the United
States, to remain under this bondage to
Radical misrule and corruption? We
have fair chance to relieve ourselves
now. FIVE let the opportunity pass, an
other may never come.

HEADQUARTERS EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE,
ATIc-CoNsERvATIvE PARTY
OF THE STATE OF MISSISSIPPI.
jackson, Miss, Oct. s, 1875. J
TO the Democrats and Conservatives of
Mississippi:
A recent notice from Judge r. A. Hill,
tn reference to the appointment of Super
visors of Election, renders it necessary for
me to give you some instructions in refer
ence to that matter.
BY an Act of Congress (Revision of
1875, Title XVII, any ten citizens resid-
ing in county in Congressional Dis
trict may apply to the United States
Judge for the appointment of supervisors
of any Congressional election.
l suppose that an application will be
made to Judge Hill for the appointment
of such supervisors in each Congressional
District. The law requires that two
supervisors shall be appointed (when
proper application is made) at each cleo
ton precinct. They are required to be
of different political parties, and able to
read and write the English language,
and residents of the county. l have no
doubt Judge Hill desires to appoint
proper persons in all cases, when he may
be called upon to act, and as he must
necessarily rely upon the advice of others
as to who shall be appointed, it will be-
come necessary for the Democrats and
Conservatives to take such action as will
secure the placing before Judge Hill of
the names of suitable persons to be APP
pointed.
| know of no better way to accomplish
this end than for the Chairman of the
Democratic and Conservative Club, at
the county seat of each county, to for
ward to me at once the names of at least
two (2) intelligent and responsible citi-
zens of his county, for each precinct
therein, belonging to the Democratic and
Conservative party, from whom tn e
judge may select one for each precinct.
That is, where there are 90 five precincts
in county, let the names of at least ten
(10) Conservatives and Democrats be at
once forwarded TO me, two from each
precinct, 50 that co five of the number
may be selected.
If the Chairman of the Democratic
and Conservative Committee can agree
with the Chairman of the Republican
Committee upon the proper number for
each county, one for each party, for
each precinct, it would be preferable.
If that be done, let the names so agreed
on be forwarded, indicating which party
each belongs to.
In forwarding names, the precinct at
which each is desired to be appointed
should be indicated.
| ask for prompt action III this matter,
and that the names of no one will be
recommended or forwarded who is not in
every respect trustworthy citizen.

jackson Pilot of 9TH Oct.
We are aware that it is the practice of
the corrupt Radicals to "vote early, and
to vote often" but we did not expect to
see the Pilot give the advice thus pub
licly to his party, to vote once, twice and
even " three" times. Why not tell the
plunderers and their tools to vote dozen
ballots, if possible, at the different boxes.
That kind of " repeating" viii be needed
to carry the election for that party.
