THE DUTY or THE HOUR.

No duty of the citizen is para
mount to that of using every honor
able exertion in his power to carry
the State of Mississippi for the
Democratic party IN the coming
election.
The Senate Investigating Com
mittee will certainly report that
the last election in our State was
tho result of fraud and force. They
will confisi. n;ly predict that il
Grant will send troops into the
State in the coming canvass, for
tue protection of tho Radicals,
that Mississippi will cast her cleo
toral vote for Hayes. The troops
will come Mark that. Now, should
the State go for Hayes, one thing
is certain: whatever may be the
result OF the Presidential election.
Lamar will be denied his seat. The
Senate will regard it as settling the
question at issue in that body be.
tween Boutwell, and Bayard on
their reports.
1t will require ten years more
of seryitude to regain what we
have lost, should Hayes be elected,
and the vote of Mississippi be f, r
bin. We can stand Hayes, but
the shock to the material interests
of the State, which would follow
the restoration to rule of the Rldi-
cal party in this State is fearful to
contemplate.
1t means renewal of high taxes,
and sectional hatreds, and race con
hicts. 1t means the return of the
carpet Dagger, for power, plumber
and revenge. 1t means cessation
of immigration, the withdrawn of
capital and general demoraliza-
ton.
We can avert the threatened evil.
it every citizen will do his duty
between DOW and the election; but
let us not underrate the danger or
duty of the hour.

DEMOCRATIC ECONOMY.

Radical papers are fond of enquir
ng what the Democrtic House of
Representatives has done in the in
terest of the people? We answer
that the confederate House, as
the RAIDS like to call that Demo
cratic body, has, in the annual
appropriation hills which it has
passed, made a reduction of more
han sixty-four millions of dollars
IN the estimates prepared by the
various departments! The appro-
priations made for the year ending
June 80, 1877, are thirty nine mil
ions less than were voted by the
Radical Congress for the year end
ing June so, 1876! This saving
TO the taxpayers is just three times
she amount required to support the
Government during the admins
traticn of John Quincy Adams
When any Radical mouther wants
70 know what the Democratic
House has done for the people, let
our friends point to thirty nine mil
lions of dollars saved in one year.

GEN. GRANTS ECCENTRICITY.

The recent conduct of President
Grant in making the fur fly from
his Cabinet and other officers has
caused an immense sensation. Some
persons attribute it to q desire to
"get even" with personal enemies,
while he can. A special dispatch
to the Baltimore Gazette takes n
different view, as follows:
During the protracted heated
term there has been good cause for
extreme soiicitude az to how the
President would stand the effect of
tho weather. The public already
familiar with his rash acts. will learn
with sorrow chat an impression,
shared by all. without regard to
affiliations, prevails that Grants
mind has become unsettled, and
that, unless great "a is exercised,
he will have TO be reiegated to re-
tirement, for recuperation. He has
never remained in this city but
once so late as he has this season,
and then the weather was tolerable.
But for the past four weeks the
climate has been almost fatal to men
who are not of the most temperate
and simple habits. When pros
trated by excessive heat, system
relaxed by use of stimulants
becomes a prey to all sorts of hor-
rible arrangements. Of tho many
sudden deaths that have occurred
here during the last three weeks of
protracted furnace heat there has
not been q single case where the |
person so dropping out of this life, |
was not Of full habit and addicted |
to the use of strong stimu!ants.
Grant is at present very stout, of
the typo inclined to apoplexy. For
years he has never been subjected
to the debilitating effects of the ter
rible heat here. IL has been his
custom to leave Warrington upon
he first of June, and not return i
until th1 first OF the following
