Prof HING, one of the sharpest
colorvd mcu We ever knew, assisted
IA starting the Reform ball in Ray.
mond ucighborhood last summer,
anu then retired 10 the lower part oi
the county. where he was among the
leading ones ia pulling the boys
through He HOW lives in the ozark
corner where he has organized u
Democratic club, composed Of one
hundred and city colored men, who
voted the Radical ticket last fall
The Professor SAYS this club will ap-
pear in solid column at the first
county meeting held, and every
member wants n Democratic badge.
They shall have the badgcs.-Ray-
mond Gazette.
This reminds Va to say that one of
the first duties of the Democratic
clubs should be to protect the Dem
ocratic voters of color in their right
o. vote and to work for the Demo
cratic candidates if they choose: aud
Tor this purpose each club should ap-
point a committee Of vigilance TO
take the matter specially in charge.
Heretofore the carpet baggers have
relied principally upon the practice
of intimidation OF colorod voters by
their own race TO carry the elections.
Most of the riots have resulted from
this cause. II was partially arrested
In the last canvass by hrmncss aud
vigilance. Ia the present canvass
il must be entirely stopped. We
must have a free aud fair election
Clarion.
The above suggestions of the
Clarion are good, and we hope the
Democratic clubs Of Copiah county
will act upon its advice,

The number of office holders ~
the United States is estimated al
0i,ll9.-Exehange.
Yes, aud half that number would
be sufficient TO carry on the Govern
mcnt, but the party In power must
provide for ITS hungry tools. Every
insignificant Official must have a dep.
uty and assistant deputy, and the tax
ridden peoDle have 10 foot the bill.
There will he a grand cleaning out
Of official trash when Uncle sammy
Tilden takes bis seat IN the White
House next March.
