The colored people in Lauderdale
county, Mississippi and West Alabama,
are moving in behalf of colonization
scheme for the blacks. The Mercury says
the object of the movers in the matter
is to get the question of colonization of
the blacks on some separate territory be-
fore Congress, and they will be thankful
to intelligent white gentlemen who will
give them assistance in getting their
scheme in proper manner before Con-
gress. Frank Durr, an advocate of the
movement, assures the Mercury that it
did not originate in chagrin at the defeat
of the Republican party at the late cleo
ton, but rests upon reasons pertaining to
what is deemed the good of both races.

We have mailed notices to those of our
subscribers whose term of subscrip ton has
recently expired, or is about to expire. A
large number have already ordered renewal
of subscription for the ensuing year. Our
rule, for the past seven years, has been to
send The CLARION to no person who does
not esteem it enough to pay the small
amount of subscription upon receipt of no
tice. After the next issue, we shall
erase from our books, all who fail to renew
by that time. We hope the number will be
very small.

If any of our people have taken to
themselves the belief that by letting Ames
OF from deserved punishment, and per-
uniting him to remain two years longer
in the Office to which he has forfeited his
legal claim, they will purchase relief from
the relentless prosecutions of the Radical
demagogues who are in search of capital
for the Presidential election, the resolu-
ton of Morton in the U. s. Renats viii
dispel the delusion. e.

The Milk Ina the COcOmnut.

Gov. Ames absented himself from the
State for six weeks after the election.
The newspapers reported him in Wash
ington city, and speculation was rife con-
corning his motives. Some said he in
tended to respect the will of the people
and to decline longer to occupy the
Executive office. Others said wait until
old Morton, the prince of the diaholic
art, is heard upon Mississippi affairs, and
you will then know. He has opened his
budget and Haunted the bloody shirt.
We no longer look through glass darkly.
The mystery is cleared up. The clouds
are rolled away, and all is revealed.

For THE CLARION.
Much is said about "the claims" of the
gentlemen who aspire to the seat in the
United States Senate now occupied by
Senator AlcOrn. / have been somewhat
amused at the arguments advanced by
some of the papers in behalf Of their ia
vorites.
In looking over old papers, find some
curious documents, compared with the
papers of the present day. In 1871,
when Alcorn and Jim Lynch, and their
sort, were itinerating over the state,
backed by a large majority of negroes,
who were backed by Federal bayonets,
it was, in the estimation Of many
citizens Of the State absolutely necessary
that they should be met, and Gen. Rob
ert Lowry was the chosen man to DO so.
| submit the following correspondence TO
show the estinution IN which Gen. lowry
was teg held by many Of cur distinguish
ed men IN that dark period of our history.
