a Card.

In reply to certain statements, said BY
the meeting at Enterprise, on the 10th inst
to have been made by me before the late
election, in regard to the courthouse cues
ton, have to say that, being in Enter prise
a short time after my nomination. (the
Democratic party not having pledged itself
in any manner on the subject L was pub
.icly called upon to state my position on the
courthouse question. L then stated that
was individually opposed to the agitation
OF the question, but, that | would be bound
to respect any petition on that, or any other
subject. Any statement as to my position.
except as above stated, is either partial and
garbled. or Is untrue. Fbe staten ent in
the preliminary proceedings of said meet
ing, that L was I" pledged not to reopen the
question OF a change during my term" is
untrue.
The statement in the first preamble of
said meeting, that | induced large num-
Der OF voters to believe that [ would oppose
and diSoouatenance in the Legislature any.
action tending TO removal, except so far as
their differences might be deduced from my
individual preferences on the subject, is also
untounded and untrue.
The statements in the third 'whereas" of
said proceedings are untrue no statements
having been made by me, disparaging to
Enterprise as compared with the body of
the lands or voters of the county The
statement in the third resolve of said meet
ing, that said sour people were easily
bought" is untrue and unfounded, though L
did state that the body of the voters at the
Lang Box in 1873, Were corrupted and in
fluenced by pecuniary considerations, mo-
wing from Enterprise fact which many of
the citizens of Enterprise do not deny, but
acknowledge.
When the petition for the removal of the
courthouse reached me | notified the citi-
Zens OF Enterprise of the fact, who sent up a
counter petition, and being untrammeied
by party and personal pledges on the sub
ject and being satisfied that the petition for
removal expressed the wishes OF a large
majority of the people of the county, and
that it was subject of Legislative cogni-
zance alone, | considered it my duty to give
proper expression to the voice of my con-
stituents, which / have endeavored to do.
| submit this statement to your candid
judgment.
Very respectfully,
q. Nj. MAssINGALE.

From the many complimentary no
tees of this gentleman, we have copied
the following:
We are pleased to notice in many of
our exchanges, very complimentary men
ton of our distinguished Representative
in the NatioHa! Congress, from this (4th)
Congressional District. He certainly
deserves all that has been said of him,
and we know no more fitting and SUBJ
stantial way of testifying fully lust
appreciation of his merits and services
than for the press of this District to urge
his re, election, and for the people to re-
elect him.-Canton Mail.
We have been districted out of Mr..
SingletOn's range, but advocate and en-
dorse all of the foregoing Col. Single
ton is eninently entitled, on the score of
merit and deserts, to a reelection.

What the Press says.

Vicksburg Herald
From the preparations made by the
Governor for his defense, the public was
led to believe that he would stick to the
last He chose to do otherwise, and We
consider it the wisest act of his life. His
course was probably induced by his coun
sci !; X
We are heartily rejoiced that he did re-
sign. We are pleased, also, that the
Legislature promptly allowed him to re-
sign. The public is well informed of the
many charges made against Gov. Ames,
and we will not refer to them. We will
do him the justice to say we think the
Governor did many things he would not
have done, but for the bad men around
him. He was in bad company and fol-
lowed bad advice. Had he carried out
the plans and followed the path marked
out in his inaugural, he would to-day be
the honored Governor of the State. His
departure from that course was due more
to those around him than to his evil inten-
tions, and now that he has yielded the
control of the State to those who will love
and protect her, the people are willing to
let the ''dead past bury its dead"

No Such Word as Fail.

Port Gibson Reveillej
1t is manifest that the Sixth Congress
sional District, our district, is, according
to registration, largely Radical, though
we are not prepared to concede that it
will necessarily vote that way. But we
see no reason for complaint in the ar
rangement of the districts, for it seemed
impossible to have made it otherwise II
was the duty of the controlling element
OF the Legislature so to have divided the
state as to give intelligence the power,
so tar as this could be done without in
ringing upon geographical lines and lin
Its, and to do this, the present arrange
ment of our district, embracing the
regular chain OF river counties, and
counties immediately contiguous, seemed
unavoldably necessary. We dc not com.
plain, because it was the beat that could
be done, and We expect to try to carry it
IT we are not intimidated.
