THE OLD REGULATED hone S
Every one familiar with the history
of Mississippi politics and with the
public life of Hon. Jefferson Davis,
will see the correctness of the follow
ing extract of a letter written by him
to friend in New York, and published
in the Post of that city:
He says: ST had no more to do with
the Reputation by Mississippi of the
bonds issued than either of you had.
I was sent to college when boy; from
college went to West Point; from West
Point into the army and served on the
Indian frontier until 1885. when mar
ried and left the army. l took up my
residence in very retired place, dis
tant from the county in which my
father lived and where [ had been
raised, SO that I was q stranger i'll
Mississippi. seldom leaving the cane
brake in which lived, when in 1886, the
last of these notorious bonds were is,
sued. It was seven years thereafter
before was brought into any political
discussion, and then only III the coun
ty in which [ resided. Before that
time, 1888, the famous Union bank
bonds had been repudiated, and though
the question still entered into party
politics it had little more than an Ills
torical existence. Upon the question,
IS politico moral one, [ opposed the
doctrine of reputation, insisting that
governments like individuals, when
claims were made against them, had
no right to make any other issue than
one of fact. Is there debt or is there
not? For that publicly declared OPP
inion the party of repudiators made
war against me in the beginning of my
my political life, using both strategem
aud concentration of their forces to
defeat my nomination for Congress in
1916. When the Federal government
sought to discredit the Confederacy in
foreign markets they sent --- to
England to represent me as repudiator.
No man knew better than he the falsity
of his representation, for he was an
active politician in Mississippi when
reputation occurred, and it was years
afterwards before he knew of my ex-
istence"

men affiliating with the foul-mouth
brood until they shall have ceased to
utter their vile ISLANDERS. If these
things be SO, and no one can deny
them, what hope is there that recon-
ciliation-the forerunner of prosper
ity-can come of the success of the
Radical party t? None whatever.
But what a diff, rent prospect on
the other hand is that b fore us from
the success OF the Democrat
ic party =? From it we have uni
formly received assurances and mani
festations of fraternal feeling and re
gard. What single Democrat at the
North is there who has opened his lips
in sectional denunciation and sectional
abuse On the contrary has not every
man, without exception, VINO professed
to be Democrat, at the same time pro-
fessed the most earnest desire for the
speediest possible reconciliation-and
not one in name merely, but one found
ed upon mutual respect and confidence
ana the 1ut'6SC FecOSHiUll'u Ol HI our
equal rights as citizens and States LII
these things be true, and that they are
true no man can deny, there is no
longer any cause to doubt for mo-
ment, which is the party Of recDncilia-
ton, and as such, the party that prom
ises soonest to bring peace ana pros
| perity to the country.
If Mr.. Tilden shall be elected, does
any man suppose that any ten millions
| of American citizens will be without a
voice in the administration of the
government? Does not every man
know that til his election the days
of sectionalism will have come to an
end
We have nothing to hope then from
the success of the Radical party, but
everything from that of the Demo
cratic party. Peace and reconcilia~
| ton must come before there can be
prosperity, and there can be neither
peace nor reconciliation until the Radi~
cal party shall be driven from the places
of power AMI trust they have SO long
and so gri -vousiy abused.

ELECTIONS PRECEDING THE
GREAT CONTEST.

The Presidential election takes place
on the first Tuesday in November nsxt
Gth), and will be preceded by the fol-
lowing State elections
Georgia, on the 18th of October.
Gen. A. H. Colquitt is at the head of
tie Democratic ticket for the Govern
orship, and his election is predicted
by seventy-fve thousand majority,
Notwithstanding Ruger has the head
quarters of the military department of
the South at Atlanta. AS yet the Re-
publicans have not indicated a pur-
pose to contest the field.
West Virginia, on the 10th of Octo-
Der. This election embraces a State
ticket, members of the legislature and
members of Congress. The Demo-
Gratis claim that all their dissensions
are healed, and that they will carry
the State by large majority.
Ohio, on the 10th of October. In
this State State ticket, with the ex-
ception of Governor and Lieutenant
Governor, will be elected.
Indiana on the 10th of October.
Here full ticket will be elected. In
diana promises to be the battle ground
preparatory to the Presidential contest
in November and both parties will put
forth their best efforts to secure the
ascendancy.
Iowa on the 10th of October. This
is Republican State, and may be ex-
pected to cast its vote in that direc
ton, both in October and November
Nebraska on the 10th of October.
Texas, on the 9th of November.
This State will probably go Demo-
cratic by from Is. 900 to 100, 900 ma
iority, but the election is too near the
time of holding the Presidential cleo
ton to affect it in any perceptible
degree.
Delaware State election, on the 9th
of November. The Democracy are
confident of victory. It is not yet
known whether or not United States
troops will be used by Grant in this
State to carry the State for the Repub-
Leans if possible.

In the face of these undeniable facts
and of it's present seeming opposition
to the amendments, what can be said
of the course of the Republican party
i'll regard to the amendments, save
that it is marked by demagoguery, COR
ruption and double dealing, unsur~
passed even in the annals of it's own
party! Who can tell how the mems
bers of that party will vote when they
60 to the polls in November !? Will
they vote then as they voted in the
Convention, or will they vote then as
they talk now? Who can tell? Was
there ever such party in the world {?
And yet the mass of the colored peo-
pie give it their entire confidence!

STRANGE ADVICE.

1t Is not to be presumed that the
negroes would organize Democratic
clubs without white instigatlOn but
Democrats ought to court the negro
vote by methods Which do not tend SO
directly to breaches of the peace.
The white population Of The South, as
employers of labor, lenders of money,
owners of farms and tenements lot to
negroes who must often be in arrears
in paying their rent, have great advan-
tages for quietly influencing negro
votes, and they should use these adj
vantages in quiet and nom provoking
ways. lie Southern whites have a
greater interest IL promoting tranquil
ity aud good feeling than they have Ill
any partisan result; and We Wi III they
would discourage all movements Which
tend to infiame and exasperate an
ignorant populdce, whose errors and
prejudices have been engrafted in
their minds by unscrupulous politi~
clans and carpet-baggers.

vent it's being done. We can tell the
Radicals, black and white, who have
been lording it over poor, ignorant
colored people, that we have by words
exposed this, and warned their slaves,
and we fearlessly do so still; that we
will make no attempt at intimidation
or coercion, by fraud or corruption,
but wherever the black people, in mum
bers great or small, say they wish to
, vote the Democratic ticket, and to act
with that party, every white Demo-
ocrat may be relied on to see Cat any

THE QUICKEST ROAD TO PEACE
AND PROSPERITY.

Every man in America, regardless of
color or cline, is or ought to be anx-
ious to re-unite and reconcile the late
ly beligerent and yet discordant
States Of the Federal Union. Nor is
this feeling the dictate of patriotism
Or sentiment alone self interest de-
mands 1t as well. The north cannot
prosper unless the south be also
prosperous. Nor can prosperity pos
sibly preoede reconciliation, and
peace and good government. 1t
must follow them. Under which
party then will we soonest get
peace and a cordial, honest. earnest
reconciliation, is the question that men
| ought to ask themselves.
The Radical party is to-day in full
possession of the Federal government,
yet from the twelve Southern States
and their ten millions of people there
is not one single representative on
! the bench of the Supreme Court-not
single representative of all these
States and all these people, whether
white Or black, in the Presidents
cabinet, nor one representing the Gov
eminent in any important foreign
court. Is it possible for ten millions
of people ever to rest contented and
peaceable and happy under a
government in whose administration
they have neither voice nor influence?
Is there any country in the civilized
world where ten millions of people
owning eight hundred thousand square
miles of territory are utterly and
entirely unrepresented Among all
these ten millions of people is there
high position But is that the reason
why no one is chosen, or is it because
the fires of sectional jealousy and
sectional hate are still aglow in the
bosoms of Northern Radicals? Will
the continuance of such men in power
bring peace and reconciliation Will
true, honest, cordial reconciliation be
brought about until the people of the
South shall be once more fully trusted
as equals 1t is idle to expect it upon
any other terms. Ten millions Of
people will ever resent their exclusion
from the government under which
they live, not merely because of love
of spoils, but because of desire to
maintain and defend their right to a
voice in the administration of the
government to whose support they con-
tribute their means, and in whose
defence they stand ready to pour out
their blood, if need be.
Nor is this ALL Men do not ordi-
narily heal feuds with their neighbors
i by constantly heaping foul abuse upon
| them. Is there single Northern
Radical in all the land that has ever
spoken one kindly word of the South
ern people? Do not they all vilIify and
abuse us from days end to days end !?
Can we hope for reconciliation until
this food of billingsgate shall cease to
flow? 1t is idle to talk about Southern

ToURGEE told the people the other
day at Snow Hill, in Greene county,
"that the wounds of the war had not
healed, that he himself had one that
reminded him every day of the strife,
and the Goidsboro Messenger is cruel
enough to believe him, a thing that
people very generally are not much
given to doing. The Messenger fears
that ToURGEE's wound will not heal
until all hope of holding office under
Radical administration has been de-
s'royed. We don't like to be inquisi-

ton to know just where that wound is.

The most conspicuous feature of the
canvass so far has been the great mum.
Der of prominent Republicans who
have renowned their old political af :
filiations and are giving their support
to Tilden and Hendricks. The same
process is going on now in Republican
ranks that marked the disintregation
of the dominant party twenty years
ago. 1t was the beginning of the end,
when Greeley, Sumner. Gratz Brown.
Gov.Curtir and Senator Doolittle, aboli
tlonists, and emancipationists,d detached
themselves from the Republican par
ty. The almost unanimous abandon
ment of the German element, end the
attaching of such men as Charles
Francis Adams, George W. Julian and
others who could be named, to the
Democratic following, is sure indica
ton of final dissolution of party that
has become too corrupt to hold in it's
ranks men who regard the good of the
country as above fealty to party.

IN ID a 81 4.

Upon the canvass in the Hoosler
both political parties is now anxiously
fixed, each one being eager for the
victory. One element of anxiety is
the fact that for many years the State
has been close and doubtful one.
Twenty five years ago it was cIassed
as Democratic State, but in 1854
combination of Know Nothings and
Abolitionists carried the election, de-
feating among other candidates, Cover
nor Hendricks who was candidate for
Congress. In 1866 the State again
went Democratic, i'll which year Nor
ton was beaten for Governor. In 1858
it went for the Democrats again. In
1860 however it went for Lincoln by
10000 majority. Two years later the
Democrats again triumphed, and elact-
e.. the Legislature that sent Governor
Hendricks TO the United States Senate.
ton fer Governor again, swept the State.
In 1866 the Radical majority was still
greater. In 1868 the election WIS very
close, Hendricks being beaten for
Governor by very small vote. In
1870 the Democrats carried the day
aud in 1872, though Grant carried the
State by 1000 in November, the en-
tire Democratic ticket was elected in
October previous, by'a small majority
In 1874, there was decided Dem ocratic
victory in the State, resulting in the
election of eight Democrats out of
thirteen Congressman.
II will very readily be seen therefore
be counted on with absolute certainty
by either party This year there ere
three tickets in the field, the third being
that of the Green back party which has
nominated fnll State ticket as we'll as
candidates for Congress. The Green
bnck party, it is said, draws it's men,
bers in almost equal proportions from
tue Democratic and Radical ranks
It is not certain, however, that
its ticket will not be withdrawn before
the election, an event that UNCLE
JIMMY. "a he is called, Blue Jeans
Jimmy Williams, the Democratic can
didate for Governor, links will enure
greatly to mis- advantage The total
vote of the State is about $50, 600, and
every effort is being m de to bring out
full vote. TIL. Radicals are spariug
neither men nor money to win the day,
but they are fighting under odds. The
fact that they we're obliged to take down
their first candidate for Governor be-
cause he had been caught and exposed
in his ascality. has been a source, not
only of modification. but of serious
damage. The present candidate is not
man of popular habits and is gen.
orally known as "Kid Glove Ben Har-.
rison, while the Democratic candidate
is called "Blue Jeans Williams" Our
friends there are very hopeful and
speak very confidently of the result.
We shall make no predictions, however.
but wait quietly until the returns come
in. We shall be much gratified,
of course, if we carry the State.
but we shall not be disheartened
if we do not, for Indiana is by
no means essential to the cleo
ton of Mr.. Tildeu; indeed it will be
remembe. ell that at the time of his
nomination there was very little expec-
ton that we would carry it under bis
leadership. Subsequent events how
ever have made us more hopeful. We
shall see what we shall see. The pros
pect is now indeed bright one.
