Giving up tI.e COntest--A Word i'm
Season.

This is from the Pilot, the official or
gan of the late Radical administration
in this State:
In answer to inquiries instituted in
different portions of the State, We learn
| that the cOlored voters do not intend TO
attempt making fight this fall under
| the leadership of men who have deserted
| them in the hour of need, and accepted
nominations at the hands of the Democ-
racy, and vino have gone so far as to CO.
! operate with them to tie extent Of voting
! their ticket last fall.
The statement is that the mass of the
colored Republican voters who constitute
nearly the entire Radical party of the
State, intend to retire from the contest
in the coming canvass and permit the
State to go by default for the Demo-
cratic ticket The cause is the disgust
which they feel at the new leadership of
the Radical party, which consists for the
most part of boiling and disappointed
office-seeking Republicans, who gave aid
and comfort to the Democratic party at
the time it was (faisely) charged with
making their way to power through
blood and slaughter. Deprived of
colored following, these newly installed
Republican leaders will be in bad con
ditior. They will be like officers with
out privates-completely emasculated.
1t is undoubtedly true that large num-
bers of colored voters are in the Demo
cratic party to stay. The faithful re-
demption of its pledges to their race by
the present Legislature, has opened their
eyes to the deception which was so long
practiced upon them by Radical dema-
gogues. Many others, not sure ct their
reckoning as yet, will stay away from the
polls. And others still will take no part
in the contest for the reasons assigned
by the Pilot. Processing to be Republi-
cans still, they are not willing to train
under Musgrove, Morphis & Co. Be
sides they do not take kindly to the way
in which they were snubbed by the late
convention in which the boilers hap
pened to obtain the ascendeney. Out of
forty appointees by that Convention, but
nine were taken from the cGlored ele-
ment which stands as four hundred and
ninety to one in the Republican
party ofMississippi.
Now what we want to impress upon
the Radical leaders who have virtually |!
admitted defeat and surrendered in ad-
vance of the day of election, that when
it is over and Mississippi has declared
for the Democratic candidates in legal
and peaceabIe Rasthod through the ballot
box, is that they must not go behind
their own record and swear as they have
lone in regard to the last election, that
he result was accomplished by fraud
md force. Let them stand by their own
confessions voluntarily made and abide
he consequences.

to give time for attending the Presiden.
tial Conventions. Chicago Times.
Another, from the Courier-J Journal, is
as follows:
a private meeting of members of Con-
gress, representing eight States in the
West and Northwest, was held in this
city last night The members of the
conference are gentlemen possessing great
influence IN their respective States.
They determined to use this influence in
their respective State Conventions to
secure delegates who will vote for Sam
uel J Tilden, of New York, in the St.
Louis Convention.
Congressman are travelling entirely out
of their jurisdiction when they under
take to decide who shall be candidates
for the Presidency. That is a preroga-
tive which belongs wholly to the people.
1t would be well enough for these usurp-
ing officials to call to mind little scrap
of history. In the earlier days of party
organization, it was the custom of choos-
ing Presidential candidates by Congress
| sional caucus. The system became of
fensive to the people, as an undemo-
cratic usurpation, leading to corrupt
b bargains and intrigues. 1t fell under
the weight of public odium, and the
present Professionalism system was
adopted by both parties in its stead So
decidedly averse was the country to the
Congressional caucus system, and SO
| fixed was its resolve to free the Conven-
tons from even the suspicion Of Congress
sional interference. that it was a fixed
rule of the Democratic party to appoint
no member of Congress to a seat in the
Presidential Conventions This rule
was rigdly observed by the Mississippi
Democracy, ct would have been no
less enforced by the Opposition, whether
Wings or Americans, if they had had
representation in Congress-, and never,
from the substitution of the Conventions
nominating plan for Congressional caucus
dictation, did a member of Congress
present himself as a regularly chosen
delegate from Mississippi to a Presiden-
tial Convention. The exceptions to this
rule in other States amere rare. 1t is to
be regretted that there are indications
of its growing into disuse in the latter
days, and that the spirit, if not the form,
of the discarded plan of Congressional
intermeddling, is to be revived and put
in practice. The country had as we'll
return to it in name as we'll as in fact, if
members of Congress are to meet in add
vance of Popular Conventions and decide
for the people who should be chosen, and
if the nominating Conventions are to be
filed with delegates from the halls of
Congress, We would uggest that Pres
Matchmaking be left to the only legiti-

What GEN. Ames has To Say on Ghe
Situation in Mississippi.

We have gratified natural curiosity
among our readers here in Mississippi in
laying before them Gen. AmeS version
of affairs in this State, as related TO the
New York Times. The well-informed
reader will marvel at the extent to which
this de,hroned carpet-bagger, who, from
1869 to 1876, ruled with high hand in
this State, has drawn on his Imagination
for his facts There is scarcely a grain
of truth to the bushel of falsehoods
which he has served up for Northern
Radical consumption in revenge upon
the people of the State for arresting him
in his career of mischief. He sees
nothing in the causes of the great reform
victory which shipwrecked him and his
political fortunes, and the hopes of those
like him, in Mississippi, last fall-noth-
ing in the grand popular uprising of the
people to restore integrity in government
but " fraud, Violence and murder"
Now we do solemnly affirm that there
Fever was an election more free from
g fraud that there was no violence "
except what was brought about by his
own Vaccination and that Of his parti-
zaus to keep up the schism between the
races and to create pretext for calling
on the President for troops to interfere
in the election-and that there was no
!" murder" except what resulted from
the same cause. And furthermore that
the canvass was conducted by the whites,
who were resolved to rescue their State
government from the grasp of the
thieves and demagogues on the basis of
friendship and good will for the
coIored people thousands of whom
heartily joined in the reform movemenD
and upon pledges to act with them with
perfect fairness and justice, as entitled
10 equal rights in the administration of
the government pledge, by the way,
which was religiously kept by the reform
Legislature and this is the most tri-
umphant answer that can be made TO ali
the imaginative creations of the diseased
mind Of this malignant and disappointed
adventurer.
His statement about the debt of the
State is in keeping with the rest Of his
story. At the rate of taxation imposed
OH tie people, if the affairs of the State
had been honestly and economically
managed, there would be large SUM in
the Treasury. How can this statement
be trGe, that the debt is but half a mil
lion Of dollars, ssheH at the close of Au-
ditor Musgrove's four years term, he
officially reported that in no year haG
the receipts eqaaied the appropriations,
but that, on the contrary, they had far
exceeded them, so that, year by year, "a
"debt of considerable magnitude had ac-
"cumlated. The annual average eX-
