We have no doubt the mob affair at
Friars Point has been exaggerated in
everything bat the cause Of 1t. The
divine right Of the carpet Dagger
white and colored, to rule and rob the
State. had been questioned by Senator
Alcorp in a speech to the taxpayers at
Friars Point. He arranged Brown,
the carpet-bag negro sheriff, for stealing
$47, 900. aud for shipping arms into the
county. 10 carry the election, and
the arrogant official summoned his
dusky clans to punish the speaker and
those who endorsed him as insurrectionists
and Iaw.breakers. They we're promptly
met aud repealed by resolute white cltl-
zens who we're determined to protect their
homes and maintain order Brown ran
at the first FIRE, and his cohorts seem to
have been vanquished withou. shedding
their quota Of the blood" which AmeS
insists will be "good for the Republican
party" The Radicals will try in vain to
manufacture an outrage out Of the affair.
The leaders on both sides in the begin
ming of il we're Republicans, and the
American public will be slow to believe
that Senator Alcorn, whose course has
been marked by unquestioned " loyalty"
since the war, who has 80 much ut stake
in the preservation Of peaceful relations
between the two races, would wantonly
furnish occasion for the riotous demon
,tration in which Brown and his follow
,rs are implicated.

COahOma County Disturbances.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Oct. An APP
peal Friars Point special this morning
says Gen. Chalmers continued the pur-
suit o. the negroes under Gen. Pease.
(coloredD on Tuesday evening, to Schu-
fordsville.
Frank Scott, (white) was ambushed
and fatally wounded by negroes near
surrounded hill, on Tuesday. A squad
of white cavalry, under Capt. Burke,
subsequently charged the negroes who
were in ambush, killing three and wound
ing one of the negroes who is doubtless
now dead, and captured Nelse Levitt,
Ben Jones and Alex. Sims, who are now
in Jail. Bill Henry and Jorden Tharpe
were also captured near the Tunica coun-
ty line and put in Jail here.
Chalmers command of hundred and
fifty cavalry have not yet returned.
Forty or fifty of his command remained
last night at Clarksdale to watch the ne
groes in that section, as several places
we're threatened. Chalmers, with the
remainder proceeded last night to Jones
town, fourteen miles northeast of this
place, where the negroes, under Gen.
Bill Pease, were reported to be in force
about five hundred strong
The negroes are also reported in force
at Maj. Alcorn's place, twelve miles from
here. Fighting is reported going on there
but The report is not confirmed.
There are about hundred armed citi-
zens here who picket the town and will
remain under arms until the disturbance
is ended and security to life and property
restored.
The white men are determined to dis
perse all mobs, but are prudent and act
on the defensive. The whole disturbance
was caused by Sheriff Brown and other
Republicans.
The whites, Democrats and Republi-
cans, are unit in opposing the negroes.
A cavalry command leaves here this
morning for Jamestown.

Rankin County.

Everything indicates that Rankin
county will do her whole duty on election
day, and that Jayne and Gayden will
represent her in the next Legislature.
The Argus says
"Rankin is going Democratic by
large majority. Our people are thor
"oughly aroused and our county is
"being thoroughly canvassed by promi-
"nent and eloquent speakers; cOlored
" men are joining the Democratic clubs
:" in these various beats, and with hon.
{" esty and integrity, intelligence and
capacity to back us, the Democratic
"party is sure to win"
The Daily clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1866-1888, 1875-10-08

The document which we lay before the
public teduy 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
10, that while his taxes are annually in
creasing, 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
80 oppressive that those who imposed
them will be hurled from place and
power, and men will take their places
whe will not only be pledged to economy
and reform, but who will have an indi-
vidual AID personal interest in reducing
expenses aud 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
diously 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, ror pOpuh. vo1
Del. A few more weeks, and Radicalism
in Mississippi will expire, with none sc
mean as TO do it reverence. The People
have so declared, and their votes ON the
second of November will seal their sol
emn purpose.

Carroll County.

A friend in Carroll county, who is we'll
posted, writes:
"Our prospects for success in Carroll
are frightening day by day. Our
people are fully aroused and we propose
=" to make the canvass too hot for the
" Radicals. Some of our colored people
have already abandoned them and
many more are preparing to do SO. We
j." have few colored men in all our clubs,
and many will not join the Radical
leagues"

DEMOCRATS have complained of exor-
bitant taxes, Metropolitan police bills,
negro militia in time of peace, and radi-
cal corruption. The remedy for all these
grievances presents itself in this election.
Let ne man be negative, Join club ;

thus give support to your friends who are

We have never yet observed a reyolu.

We have never yet observed a reyolu
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 tina
revolution. When government Is op
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
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 giant would
sweep away cobwebs in the path OF his
advancing steps.
In monarchcal 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
In the United States, and especially
in the State of Mississippi, there has been
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
revolutionists themselves by its am azing
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 rem aims
of carpet-bag ruscality shall have been
annihilated, and the people once m ore
made free, happy and prosperous by the
restoration of good government. Sue h
revolutions never 90 backwards!

or THE STATE or MISSISSIPPI.
jackson, Miss, Oct. s, 1875.
To The Democrats and Conservatives q
Mississippi:
A recent notice from Judge K. A. HILL
tn reference to the appointment OF super
visors Of Election, render it necessary for
me to give you some instructions in refer
ence TO that matter.
By an Act of Congress (Revlslon OF
1875, Title xxyi), 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.
| 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 he
of different political parties, and able to
read and write the English language,
and residents of the county. | 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
party, from whom the
Judge may select one for each precinct.
That is, where there are CO. FIVE precincts
in a county, let the names of at least ten
(10) Conservatives and Democrats be at
once forwarded to me, two from each
precinct, 50 that (5) five Of the number
may be selected
If the Chairman of the Dem ocratic
and Conservative Committee can agree
with the Chairman of the Republican
Committee upon the proper number for
each county, one from each party, 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.
l ask for prompt action in this matter,
and that the names of no one will be
recommended or forwarded who is not in
every respect trustworthy citizen.
