Hhe Artesia 3 1.sIr.

The account of the scenes which &C.
Cured on last Wednesday elsewhere
reproduced from the Meridian Mercury
at Artesia is a lesson in itself which we
trust the white men of Mississippi will
profit by in the future We find small
village taken possession of by armed
semi-civilized negroes. We find the
few white men who reside in Artesia
unarmed and having to call upon the
Federal troops for protection. We find
a body of negro cavalry armed to the
teeth charging into the town.
Why were the whites unarmed and
unprepared? Why were they not re-
enforced the night before by bodies of
white men from the country and adjoin-
ing towns? Has the attack upon Vicks-
burg been so soon forgotten? Did the
fate of the whites at Clinton teach no
lesson? Has Cainhoy, in South Carolina,
never been heard Of
The negroes were armed. What for
Coald it be for anything else but Sight
with the whites They should have
been accommodated. If they desired TO
test their skill with the white men OF
Lowndes, their wish should have been grat-
flied. Artesia should have called upon
her neighbors and they would have re-
sponded.
The thirst of that five hundred armed
negroes for blood should have been
quenched in blood. 1t would have
taught them lesson that they would
never have forgotten. 1t has been tried
in Warren county and worked well.
The same remedy was applied in Kinds
and Claiborne counties with splendid
effect.
Let no neighborhood of white people
ever more be caught unprepared. If the
negroes will not live on friendly terms,
then teach them that the unconquerable
Anglo Saxon race has never yet refused
challenge for fight.
Mississippians, be always ready, and
in every riot have an eye for an eye and
tooth for tooth. Being prepared
fight the deva aoith fire. You need no as
sistance from the Federal troops. Yor
only need to be true to yourselves, your
race, and your native land
BE ALWAYS READY.

CHARLESTON, S.--The Legislature is
more than twO-thirds Democratic. The
news and couriers' latest estimate give the
State to Hampton and Tilden by about
1000. This allows six thousand Repub-
lican majority in Charleston county. The
Democrats have carried the State, unless
the Republican majority in Charles ton
county approximates 10000.
Charleston, Nov. 81 p. m.-Returns
from coast precincts come in slow. They
show less Republican majority than esti-
mated last night. Democrats confidently
claim Hampton's election, with entire

The interview with Capt. F. A.
Wolfe, Superintendent of Kinds county
Public Schools, shows how utterly false
are the charges made by the Radical
party and press that the Reform Legis-
lature in effect abolished the free school
system in this State. Capt. Wolfe was
appointed by Radical State Board of
Education and confirmed by Radical
Senate. For two years he conducted the
schools of this county under the Radical
school laws, and he frankly states that the
schools are in a more prosperous condition
this year under Democratic rule than
ever before. He not only so informs our
reporter, but he states that he has
given the same information to Republi-
cans. We have seen the saving of
money, the increase in the number of
pupils. white and colored, and the num-
Der eff scholastic days in the report of
the Superintendent for Pamela county.
The same information comes from Kinds
county, and we doubt not that every
county could make the same exhibit OF
prosperity and economy in this i'm
portaut branch of the State government.
And yet there are white men in our
midst claiming to be interested in the
welfare of the State who will deliberately
deceive the ignorant negroes upon this
subject for political effect. Yea, more,
to furnish political capital, to the North
ern Radicals, they mis-state the facts to
the world.

This secures a Democratic majority of

A New Workers Opinion Of the
Character and Standing of
Southern u. =. NaFshnis

The following is copy of a letter from
a New York merchant to the constable,
or city marshal, of fernando, DeSoto
county, Miss, who seems to have been
under the impression that he was writing
to U. S. marshal. After referring to a
matter of business, he says:
4" Your simple statement is not sufi-
cient guarantee you may be a perfect
gentleman and ali that, but judging from
our experience (what we read in the
papers), the marShals in the South would
not be allowed to breathe the same air
Of the Democratic Reformers of the
North. | do not say this out of any
disrespect to you, for as | said before,
we know nothing of you, but if you are
one of the kind-same as South Caro-
lima, Louisiana, or several other States
marshais-I would say your political
life is of short duration, for when Sammy
J. takes his seat, which will be March
9TH, 1877, we intend cleaning the South
of the scuff and scum which has been a
dreg there ever since the close of the
war.
To explain the above. it should be
stated that in the correspondence between
the New York merchant and the consta
bic, as to q claim upon person in Her
nando, the constable had added to his
name g marshall" being city marshal
under the charter of fernando.

having off the enormous State and coun.
y debts created by the Radicals during
their six years of anarchy and ruin, the
taxes will no doubt be brought down to
about one-haif what they are in 1876.
The contracts, jobs and debts lett by the
Radicals on the county and State, and
for which provision has to be made, now
cause the taxes TO be double what they
will be in a few years, provided the car
pet-bag and thieves party is kept out of
power.
The couDty levy made by the Superyi-
sors for the year 1876, is as follows:
