Letter from Judge Hudson.

Ids. Clarion; There is here general
anxiety about our coming Presidential
and Congressional election, but am

pondng activity and effort in that direc.
tion and behalf by our Democracy. True,
We have respectable Democratic clubs
organized in every section Of tie county,
but the spirit Of 1878 is not yet fully re
kindled, or grown into its full manhood
and vigor. This results chiefly from the
fact that most Of our public speakers are
lawyers, who are now buried in the labors
of pending courts and those Immediately
70 come, and because there is no known
organization in opposition To us. The
registration so far has been very quiet
aud comparatively small, but day yet
remains TO enlarge it, and win to some
extent be used In that way. We have
had several speeches in our county

all can see and learn, cur colored peo-

the most quiet and friendly relations

that we have ever had in slavery or free.

Shooting ia Yaxoo

The Yazoo City Democrat has the
following account Of a shooting match in
tlat city:
Our quiet city was startled on Tues
day about one o'clock by the report OF
firearms and on repairing to the scene,
opposite the Centennial saloon, We found
that Mr.. G. z. Emery, Of thai city, aud
Mr.. A. G.. Norrell, editor Of the Satar-
tia Sentinel, bad been engaged in an al.
tercation.
The affair grew out of and editorial
which appeared in the Sentinel some
months ago, at which Mr.; Emery took
offence, and replied to it in language not
very complimentary in card published
in the Yazoo City Herald. The par
| ties met Monday for the first tins
since these publications, aed Norrell de
manded retraction of the language
used IN the card. The matter was re-
ferred to friends, but it seems no salts

Resolutions Psssed by The Sails
a.s Democratic Reform Club.

WHEREAS, Capt. Z. Ii. Sanders, an
old citizen and planter ofathis county,
who, before and since the war, held lu
crative and honorable offices by the
sufirages of Democrats, as well as Wings,
has recently. in letter to the New York
Tribune, Ia paper now in the pay of the
most corrupt party the world ever saw, J
most cruelty misrepresented the condition
of this State, and Slandered those who
have betriended him, aud this, too, from
motives unworthy of amans or citizen ;
therefore, .-.ry Try0 ErvA wHrY
Resolcsa, That Whilst we d do not
question the perfect right of any citizen
to hold any political views he may choose,
yet we know no law, human or divine,
that justifies citizen in slandering his
neighbors and State, or in encouraging
known enemies to trespass upon or sub
vert the rights Of his State, in order that
he may thereby obtain some specialfavor
from those enemies, or power still further
to ihjure those whom ne is under obliga-
tons to assist and defend. I'D E. " s
d Reso'ued, That in our opinion Capt.
Sanders knows the verdict impartial his
tory has always warded against such
treachery, and is too well informed not
to understand fully the calumnious char
acter of his letter; and therefore the
more justly merits the contempt of all
good citizens, North and South, "irres-
pective of race, color or previous condi-
ton" Enoe9a5a sE-o eEA aFgwn 4
RESOLVED, That inasmuch as Capt. San
ders selected the Tribune on account Of
its large circulation and Radical tone, as
vehicle for his laconic communication,
We will send these resolutions to the New
York Day Book, Jackson CLARION, New
York Sun, Lexington Advertiser and
Central Star, with request to publish.
