the life of VIM. johnson, Republican
candidate for the Legislature had
been threatened and imperilled at Ray.
mond where he resides, a commission
consisting of Col. Beard and Capt.

selected to investigate the matter. After
hearing all the testimony, and personally
attending the examination of the wit
nesses, Mr.. johnson, himself, made the
following statement:
After being present and hearing the in
vestigation and examination Of witnesses,
am fully satisfied that no harm was inten-
ded towards me by the young men who
passed the colored Baptist Church on Sun

lieve that my house was fired into by any
citizen Of Raymond or immediate vicinity

More than the usual interest in law

the trial of the case Of Davis VS.. Bowman,
executor and others, for the Briarfeld
estate held by Hon. Jefferson Davis and
occupied as his home before the war.
The firm of Harris & George, of this
city, are engaged as counsel for the lega.
tees, and Hon. W. P. Harris, Of that
firm. in the course of his legal argu-
ment having occasion to speak of the
motives which lead Mr.. Davis to
resign his commission in the U. S. Army
in the prime of his life, gave uttterance

opportunity to try his wings. He invited

Rules Governing Cooperative So
cieties.

We copy from the almanac of 1860,
issued by the Rochdale Equitable Pho
neer's society, the following advice to
members of that and similar societies:
LIST. Procure the authority and pro-
lection of the law by enrolment.
I'd. Let integrity, intelligence and
ability be indispensable qualifications in
the choice of officers and managers, and
not wealth or distinction.
Sd. Let each member have only one
vote and make no distinction as regards
the amount of wealth any member may
contribute.
'4th. Let majorities rule in all matters
of government.
9Th. Look well after the money mat
tiers. Punish fraud, when duly estab-
lished, by the immediate expulsion of
the defrauder.
9th. Buy your goods, as much as pos
sible, in the first markets or if you have
the produce of your industry to sell,
contrive, if possible, to sell it in the last.
9TH. Never depart from the principle
of buying and selling for ready money.
Sth. Beware of long reckonings.
Quarterly accounts are the best, and
should be adopted when practicable.
9th. For the sake of security, always
have the accounted value of the fixed
stock at least oneforth less than its mar
ketable value
10th. Let members take care that the
accounts are properly audited by men of
their own choosing.
18th. Let committees of management
always have the authority of members
before taking any important or expensive
step.
18th. Do not court opposition or pub
licity, nor fear it when it comes.
18th. Choose those only for your lead
ers whom you can trust; then give them
your confidence.

The Last Gard OF the Defeated and
Desperate Omce-seekers.
False Allegations Contradicted.

The Pilot publishes a series Of resolu-
tons passed on Saturday by Republican
meeting in this city,which was engineered
mainly by desperate office-seekers, to the
effect that the Democrats and Conserva-
tives had violated the peace compact,
entered into with the Governor. The
statements are general, vague and indef.
mite, without specification of facts, and
utterly false, as Gov. Ames himself can.
not but know, as he has been a diligent
overseer Of the canvass in this county,
since the agreement was made. That
there have been occasional individ.
ual exceptions, there is no doubt,
as our columns have shown but they
are not confined to their party. The Re
publicans have held their meetings with
out disturbance in this city, Edwards,
Clinton and other points; and the au.
thors of these charges know it.
As a contradiction of the allegations
contained in the resolutions of the Re-
publican office-seekers, the following
document was laid before the Governor
yesterday;
JACKSON, MISS, Oct. 81, 1875.
To His BroeiieHcy, Governor dimes:
The resolutions and address adopted by
Republican mreting in this city, Oh yester-
day, have been called to our attention by
your Excelency These papers contain
charges OF bad faith on the part of Demo-
Gratis ana Conservatives OF this county. and.
OF Intimidation to Republican voters, etc.
We have to state that these charges are so
general In their character, that we do not
know how to meet them otherwise than
by general denial Of their truth. We have
no knowledge or information which could
give any color to them.
II the state of general terrorism and in
limitation exists AS charged, IL Is certain
there must also exist specific acts of violence
and disorder, and In the absence of any
proof OF these, 1t would be unjust to give
credence to the charges contained In the
resolutions aud address,
And In conclusion we denonnce the
charges contained in these papers as I'M
founded, and We take pleasure In assuring
you that our desire is for peaceable and
fair election, and that our best efforts will
be used to bring about so desirable result,
and to carrying out in good faith the prom
ises made by the citizens to your Excelen-
cy In the peace conference held with you
some weeks ago.

The Capital Club meets tonight.

The ORGANIZATION PERMANENT
At meeting of the Terry Democratic
Club, the other day, it was resolved TO
continue the Club as permanent organ
ization until such time as honest colored
men may be allowed to cut themselves
loose from the Radical party, and vote
with the true friends of the country
without fear to their persons or property.
The idea is good one. The honest
negroes require protection from the
Radical ruffians, and they ought to have
it, in every neighborhood and by a regu-
lar organization. blinds Co. Gazette.

Warren County --- skies Bright

The withdrawal of Mr.. Bedford from
the race for Sheriff, leaves the regular
Democratic nominee, Capt. Flanagan,
an open field without a competitor-the
Radicals having already, like the coon
to Capt. Scott, surrendered at discretion
and come down. Their endorsement,
however, furnishes no cause for Demo-
cratic disatfection towards Flanagan; but,
on the contrary, was a confession by the
enemy of the strength and invincbility of
their standard-bearer. With all cause of
discord removed, we shall now hope for
the election of the entire ticket in War
rem, from Catchings, for the Senate,

Madison County.

The compromise, by which both parties
have united in Madison, upon a ticket
composed of men of both, was a good
arrangement, and has met the approval
of all, except few disappointed Office
seekers and their partisans. The Canton
Mail, the Democratic organ, endorses it /;
and the Citizen speaks of it in these
terms:
Below we publish the ticket agreed
upon by the Executive Committees of
the Republican and Democratic parties of
this county. The ticket is composed of
men who command the respect of the en-
tire community, and will crafty all good
citizens when elected. Though we do
not believe in compromising in politics
as a general thing, yet such an issue had
become absolutely necessary in the present
case in order to secure fair and peacea-
BILE election, as up to the hour of the
agreement much trouble was anticipated
at the election. Let us, now, come for
ward and support the ticket selected by
the representatives of both parties, and
let us have fair and orderly election,
characterized by the untiring efforts to
that end of all good men, Democrats and
white and black.

TURN out to the Club meeting tonight.


Late On Friday night as the Hon. James
Hill was returning from the Edwards House
TO the Magnolia House he met with an
adventure which is so ludicrous as to deserve
chronicling Well. to come to the point, it
was in this frame of mind that Mr.. Hill was
returning home chewing his cud of reflec-
ton and unsuspicious Of harm, when he was
suddenly accosted by burly fellow, who de-
manded, in half.drunken manner, whether
he was Radical or a Dellocrat? The sud-
denness of the demand, for the moment,
put Mr.. Hill off his guard, put quickly re-
covering his presence of mind, he drew
revolver" and mildly inquired what bust
ness that was to the gentleman-that he was
a Radical. The ferociOus midnight prowler
responded with an oath, but catching sight
OF an ugly weapon pointing at and almost
touching his breast, his ierocity suddenly
subsidized and he gently murmured, "why
nothing, only I'm Radical too" With this
explanation, his form was soon lost in the
dim vista of obscurity
And so 1t appears that those innocent, I'M
armed Radicals carry pistols too. But seri-
ously the "burlY fellow" said he was Rad
ical, and we have a reason to doubt it, and If
Hill had said he was no Democrat 1t is more
than probable that more negro blood would
have been furnished for the benefit of the
Radical party. The patriotic Hill should
have said he was Democrat, and now he
would have been wearing martyrs crown,
andanother outrage would have been fur
nished.
