steering wildly, and headed toward the
grand stand, and did not alter their
course until near the finish, when the
Beaverwycks coming up with quickened

pendent can get fifteen thousand votes,
and this, added to the Republican vote,
will elect him, and they will then have
an Independent and Republican legis-
lature. This develops the whole plan,
but it must be remembered that the
Middle and East Tennessee Republicans
will not support any man, whether he
be Independent or Republican, who
squints at what they call reputation.
Ali Republicans in Memphis OF Browns
Vile who coincide with Mr.. Thomas
will have to "eat crow" and that
In abundance. Such men as VIM.
R. Moore, /. NJ. Hill and F.
s. Davis, who are so scrupulous for the
payment of all our public debts, city az
well as State, will not tolerate such doc
trines as those preached by Dorsey B.
Thomas in regard to greenbacks and
debt scaling. Since, then, Mr.. Thomas
cannot hope for any Republican votes
except a few about Memphis and in
Brownsville land they are very doubt
full, what are his hopes? The Demo-
cratic party will not adopt his platform.
They cannot afford to do it. Such a
course would defeat them in the national
contest, even il they could carry the
State on it. The Democratic party can
not carry the odium of reputation
in this great contest. 1t would ruin
them and destroy all their hopes for
practical relief for the people.

OXFORD, MISS July 14-Our classic
little city is now enjoying 8 season of
rest. The commencement exercises OF
our colleges ended the last of June. The
prospects for large number of students
at our university are bright, and, under
the management of the new board of
trustees, and with that brave soldier ard
true christian, General A. 2. Stewart, as
chancellor, assisted by corps OF learned
professors, must meet with that success
it SO richly deserves. Corn and cotton
crops are very good, wheat and oats
were almost q failure. Thanks to the
pluck and good judgment of our plant
ers, we have q great many hogs in our
county, and we hope to be able 10 bid de-
fsnce to the mighty west next year.
Rains have been partial, and some por-
tions OF our county are still dry. Politics
are looming up. The nominations made
at st. Louis meet with universal salts
faction among the Democracy of La
fayette. The contest in the primary
elections between the friends Of Captain
Taylor and Colonel Manning was very
exciting, but, since the district conven-
ton has decreed, the supporters of the
of the eloquent Manning to congress.
The glorious Fourth was celebrated in
every beat in our county-the first time
since the l,te unpleasantness that the
whites have participated. The United
States grand jury, after session Of five
wee ks, adjourned last Saturday. They
report that they found ninety true bills,
q majority of which were for violations
of the revenue laws. Here is a sample
of Mississippi Radicalism: They (the
grand juroTs) report that "there is suf-
ticient grounds for the finding of thou
sands of indictments for violations of
the election laws referring to the cleo
ton of 1851, but time would fail us;
and unless the government would send
troops into the State this fall, farewell to
liberty; farewell to the freedom of the
ballot. boxw Yet, after making this
"bloody-shirt" report, rumor says they
did not find a single indictment for in
timidatioD. There are but two eonclu-
siona: either the report is false, or they
have violated their oath as jurors.
Which? We think the former. The
political complexion of the honorable
body was, twenty Republicans and one
Democrat. The Democrat and four
Republicans voted agair st the report.
The Democracy Of our town reorganiZsd
on the tenth instant, under the name OF
HTiIden Rgforners." We trust to do
good work in the Centennial
Campaign in behalf of re-
form, fraternity and good government.
There will be grand ratification meet
ing at this place on Wednesday night,
the nineteenth instant, indorsing Tilden,
Hendricks and Manning. We expect a
big crowd and a jolly time; will have
