PREPARING FOR THE CANVASS.

TALLAHATCHIE.- News has, In
compliance with the suggestions of many
prominent Democrats of the county,
published a call for mass meeting, to be
held in Charleston, the 18th of April,
1875, for the purpose of organizing
Democratic Central Executive Committee
for the county, and taking such other
action as may be determined upon, etc.
II. D. Money, Esq, Chairman calls .
joint meeting of the Taxpayers and Dem
ocrats of MONTGOMERY, for conference
and cooperation in the pending can
vass.
JACKSON COUNTY seems determined
to regain her proud position of for
mer days, as the banner Democratic coun-
ty. A large meeting, as we learn by re-
ports in the Paseagoula Star and Hansbo-
70 Democrat, has been held at Scranton,
DR.. E. F. Griffin in the Chair, and Mr..
Evans Secretary, and was addressed by
Hon. VIM. A. Champlin, of Pass Chris
tian, Hon. T. S. Ford, of Columbia,
Marion county, Geo. Wood, Esq, and
Capt. Thos. c. Rhodes The meeting
also
ResoIued 1st, That the citizens of Jack
son county who are willing to unite for
the purpose of relieving our State from
the oppressive taxation under which she
now suffers, and to adopt such measures
as will best secure the peace, harmony
and prosperity ofits citizens, be requested
to meet in Convention at the courthouse
on the 1st Saturday in May next, for the
purpose of forming County Association
etc., etc.
And on the supposition that a State
Convention would be held at Vicksburg,
on the 21st, the following delegates were
appointed:
NJ. Smith, VIM. Griffin, M. S. Park,
James Helverson, VIM. p Carter, An
drew Ramsey, and III. Minor.
In YAzoo COUNTY the Chairman of
the Executive Committee, Mr. c. J. Du-
Buisson, has called a meeting at Yazoo
City, on the 18th inst, to re-organize and
take such measures as the success of our
cause may require.
We have already noticed the call of
Frank Burkitt, Chairman of the Execu-
tive Committee of Chickasaw county,
for similar purposes on the 10Th.
CoPIAH CoUNTY.-The Monitor sug-
gests that meetings Of the Democracy be
held at the different precincts in the
county on Saturday the LIST of May, and
that the committee then appointed be
authorized to meet for the transaction Of
business at Hazlehurst, on Monday the
Sd of May. This is preliminary TO the
organization for the coming canvass.
The Democracy who compose the mass
of the taxpayers of Copiah, should take
measures to reclaim their county. 1t has
been shamefully misrepresented. Bring
out your strong men for the Legislature,
and rally to their support.

Tennessee LegiSIa ton.

The following, among other acts, were
passed by the Tennessee Legislature at
the late session
To regulate trial by jury, saving the
State 800, 000-making it optional with
parties to have a jury or not; taxing
losing litigants in civil cases with costs,
saving 100000. To amend the consti'
tuition by which the Governor is to hold
office for four years, Judges of the SUI
preme Court twelve years, the Comptrol-
Ter and Treasurer four years each, and
the General Assembly is to convene every
four years. The law exemptiDg 1000
worth of property in the hands of each
taxpayer from taxation was repealed. =
All judges are to be elected by the Leg
islature. The Legi stature is to have
power to create courts with both common
law and chancery jurisdiction and to au-
thorize misdemeanors in civil causes to
be tried by jury of less than twelve
men. The poll tax, qualification was
stricken out The Judges of the Su-
preme Court are to be reduced to three,
as under the old constitution. The law
is repealed prohibiting clergymen serving
in the Legislature Manufacturing estab-
lishments are exempted from taxation for
a period not exceeding six years. The
Legislature is authorized in reconsider
ing bills vetoed by the Governor so to
amend them as to obviate his objections.
The rate of taxation remains at forty
cents on 500.

The foregoing States have ali gone
against the Radicals within the past year
They will elect the ticket of the Demo
Gratis and Conservatives (or Liberals) if
the ground they now occupy is held, with
some to spare Besides the chances Of
the Democracy and their allies are more
than equal in Ohio, and almost, if not
quite equal in New Hampshire and Penn
sylvania, to say nothing of Mississippi,
which though confidently claimed by the
Radical spoilsmen, must by no means be
allowed.
The prospects are full of encourage
ment. The country is ripe for change
Of administration. 1t would have oc-
CURED before now, but for the successful
play of the Radical leaders on the fears
of the North that a Republican defeat
would unsettle the issues decided by the
war; and the belief they entertained
that it is necessary for the peace of the
country and the stability of the govern
ment that the Republican party should
stand guard over these questions. In
proportion as these apprehensions have
been allayed, reason has asserted its sway
in the Northern States, and the prospects
of change of administration have in
creased. They are now brighter than
they have been since the war and yet it
can be readily seen how easily they may
all be spoiled by misstep on the one
hand, or over confidence and its attend
ant apathy, on the other.

rs IT THE COLOR LINEl

The following expression of the Re-
publican Vice-President, Henry Wilson,
an original abolitionist, dyed in the WOOL
sounds very much like coIor-lineism.
although Massachusetts, and New
England man, and party man in every
sense of fidelity to my public associates
and the general policy we begin to intro
duce, [ am positive in the belief that zee
must oct unite men, born or bred 'n the
South, to rule 1t, and that State Govern
merits of aeqroes aud handful Of lohre
men lcho absorb the patronage, and are ne,
publicaI,s for the sake Of It, ieM not std'd
up"
Again he says:
eve want the best intelligence of the
tckite men of the South, and have lost pa
thence with this experiment of admins
tering large States by tew whites
conveniently few-dnd all the rest negroes
This language is extorted by the moe
kerry of governments in the Southern
States where a conveniently few whites
and "all the rest negroes, have ruled.
The ignorance, corruption, aid democrat
izing and degrading influences OF these
governments, have brought conviction to a
man so firm in his political sympathies and
embittered in his preiudices, as Hon.
Henry Wilson The discouraging fea-
ture of it is that in Mississippi, the
abuses which have compelled such ex-
pressions as these from reluctant lips
like the Vice Presidents have grown from
bad to worse. The Radical and con-
trolling element in the last Legislature
was infinitely worse than the one which
preceded it, and (the past being critic
rion) the next will be worse than the last,
if the people who have capacity to COM
prehend the situation, do not exert
themselves to avert the evil. The igno-
rant majority who have controlled the
present Legislature, have acted upon the
idea that it should be used as Il corpora
ton for the benefit of themselves and the
class they represent. They had no high
er conception of the objects of taxation
than to obtain money for their individual
expenditure For example, it was a no.
torious fact, to which the Pilot has borne
witness, that the biennial session consti-
tutional amendment was opposed by the
negro members because it would deprive
them of the annual allowance which they
are enjoying from the State treasury
under the present system.

The Legislature and its False Professions
of Retrenchment

The Vicksburg Times, notwithstanding
its strong partisan proclivities, is com.
PEELED by sense of justice to admit that
the Legislature was faithless in its
promises of retrenchment and false in its
dealings with the taxpayers. The ma.
jority admitted that the taxpayers were
justified in their demands for reform and
acknowledged the necessity of reducing
expenditures; but attempted to deceive
them by unworthy tricks. For example
the transferment of the expenses of the
judiciary from the State to the counties,
and calling it reduction expenditures,
when it was mere change of the form
of taxation. But we will let the Times
expose the faithlessness, shortening and
duplicity of its party leaders, in its own
way:
From the Vicksburg Times, (Rep.)l
For all the purposes of economy, re-
trenchment and reform, the session of the
Legislature of 1874 was total failure.
How much better has been the session of
1875?
The party was pledged to biennial
sessions, but Republicans defeated the
measure.
1t was pledged to biennial elections, a
most vital question to the people, and of
chief Importance. The Legislature
has failed to give the much needed re-
lief.
State taxation has been reduced but
more on account of shifted burdens upon
counties than by reason of reduced appro-
priations. The appropriations of the session
just closed, will exceed million of dollars,
and the devices employed to obtain revenue
and to practically conceal the heavy run
ming expenses of the government are very
unworthy of great party and will not
bear investigation. Nor is there anything
to be made by pursuing such a deceitful
policy. No party can stand it and no
intelligent people who know their Interests
will uphold them in it, and they should
not be expected to.
There has already been too much of
this policy in Mississippi, and for this
reason, largely, the party has been
brought to its present lamentable condi-
ton. Officers have not been held to suffi-
cient accountability by the press and at
the bar of public opinion. They have
presumed on the ignorance of their con-
ssitueDts and have felt as irresponsible as
many of them have acted. Hence this
almost total disregard of party platforms,
which are used only to make stump
speeches and are wholly forgotten until
the next canvass, when the same promises
are made over again and again forgot
ten.
The Republican party must abandon
this practice if it hopes to succeed or to |
deserve success in Mississippi, and the |
sooner it realizes this fact the better.

The Senatorial Election Next Winter.

One of the important duties which will
devolve upon heapproaching Legislature
will be the election of United States
Senator During the late session of the
Legislature, we did not hear the subject
mentioned, but we have observed that it
has been discussed by some of our cotem-
poraries.
Our view of the matter can be stated
in few words:
1st. Let the Democrats and Conserva-
tives contemplate no other result, but the
election of majority of true and capable
men of their own faith to the Legisla-
ture.
End. When they are assembled let the
members follow the time-honored custom
of the Democratic party by meeting in
caucus and determining among them
selves to whom the important trust shall
be confded.
The first step is to carry the Legisla-
ture, and the next will be the selection of
a sound Democrat Cor Conservative, just
as you prefer to call him. by majority of
the votes of the party. In the meantime,
let the claims of men be held subordinate
to the claims of the State and to the har-
monious and efficient cooperation of every
one who desires that she should be lifted
out of the slough of despond into which
she has been cast by system of reckless
and legalised robbery.

The Conditions on which Railroad Com.
panies are Liable for Stock Killed
or Injured by their Trains.

This question, which is of interest t,
Railroad Companies and to persons living
on the line of their Roads, as well a:
attorneys, was recently decided by the
Supreme Court in the case of the Mobile
& Ohio Railroad Company VS.. John
Hudson.
The Court decided: That for dam
age done by Railroad trains to stock
the liability of the Company depends upon
whether the injury was caused by negIi-
gence or Encouragement.
The party claiming damages must
prove that due precaution to prevent the
injury was not used by the Company or its
employees.
Injury to animals is not of itself evil
dence OF negligence. 1t must be estab-
lished by positive proof.
On the other hand, if stock enter upon
a Company's track, or premises, and in
jury results to the Company therefrom,
the owner is not liable for damages if the
track is not enclosed.

WHEREAS, The ic-Conservative
members Of the Legislature, at its late ses-
sion, did, at the solicitation Of numerous
friends Of the party throughout the State,
meet in caucus, at the Capitol, on the Sd
day of March, 1875;
AND WHEREAS, By a resolution adopted
by said meeting, a committee was appointed
to take such steps, and make such recon-
mendations to the Conservative people
throughout the State, as would in their
judgment lead to a thorough organization OF
the Democratic-C Conservative party.
AND WHEREAS, BY said resolution, the
undersigned was made chairman of said
committee, with the authority to call a meet
ing of the same, at such time and place as
might be deemed expedient and proper, and
many members Of said committee having
requested a meeting thereof, and have sug
gested the 18th day of May next, in the city
of Jackson, as proper time and place fol-
said meeting, therefore,
The members of said committee, together

sT1ao Radical Aey NoIe.

Ex-Speaker Blaine, the favorite Of the
anti-third term Republicans for the Pres
idency, struck the keynote of his party
from now until the election, in his Con.
hectic ut speeches, by declaring that "the
issues which grew out of the war re-
g main unsettled-that the Democratic
g party in the Southern States are agi-
g tating the questions of citizenship,
&c free suffrage, the supremacy Of the
Constitution with its amendments -
and the defeat of the Republican par ty,
would mean the re-opening of all these
questions with the sectional strife neces-
sarily attending policy SO detrimental
to the best interests of the country.
OF course there is not syllable of
truth in this charge. 1t is all in the
minds eye of the Radical politicians in
their desperate struggle to retain power.
OF all sections, the Southern people are
interested in burying out of sight, the
issues settled by the war and to this
policy, they have committed themselves
by every form of solemn asseveration.
There is not public man-there is not
a Democratic newspaper-there is not
private citizen in all the Southern
States who does not consider the ques-
tions mentioned By Ex-Speaker Blaine
as settled.
But forewarned, forearmed. The
game of the Radical demagogues is we'll
understood and the invincible deter
mination of the Southern Democracy
to have peace, will be standing contra
diction of the charge.
