The Presidents CaIumniOus Acc
cu~aGfOn-

The people of Mississippi have been
shocked and astounded at the enormity
of the imputation wantonly cast upon
them bv the President of the United
States in his letter TO the Governor of
South Carolina, and communicated to
Congress in a special message of the 31st
uIt The charge is that mississippi is
% to-day governed by officials chosen
g through fraud and rtolence such as
g Mould scarcely be accredited to sarages,
. much less to civilized and christian
g people" An accusation as unbecom-
ing in the chief magistrate of the nation,
as it was unprovoked and devoid of truth,
addressed to the country through Con-
gress and thence into every newspaper
in the land, demanded prompt refuta-
ton. The message appeared while the
Mississippi member of the National Dem
ocratic Executive Committee was attend
ing meeting of the Committee in New
York and the opportunity of publishing
the refutation (to be found elsewhere)
was readily accorded to him through the
columns of that independent and univer-
sally read journal, the New York Herald.
Other Northern papers of note and wide
circulation have, republished the reply
and through these channels the truth has
followed close upon the calumny.

Hon. G.. &. Chandler.

The defeat of Judge Chandler by the
hitter ond ultra element of the Radical
party for the Congressional nomination
in this district, throws away the opportu
nity of making votes in the seashore
counties which it was supposed would
result from the dissatisfaction existing
there on account of the District apportion-
ment and assures the re election Of Col.
Hooker by a large majority. Judge
Chandler is a man not only of ability,
but of personal popularity, and would
have made an able canvass. As it is he
is virtually silenced. The meaning of
the Brookhaven nomination is, that men
of his position, and surroundings
are not wanted in this fight 1t is re-
ported that he intends to tranfeR bis la
bors in behalf of Radicalism to Indiana
by a vigorous waving of the bloody
shirt and tremendous hullaballoo over
the imaginary wrongs of the colored peo-
pie in consequence of the change Of of
fice-holders and reduction of expendi-
lures and taxes in this State. We do
not believe word of it. He is not the
man to employ himself in any such dis
| creditable work. 1t may be congenial
to the earpet-bag adventures who have
been elected from office, to go back to
''hum" with invented tales sf horror on
their lips, simply because they imagine
they have suffered great wrong in be-
ing turned out Of Office, but it is not in
the heart Of any son of Mississippi to do
any such thing.
Let Judge Chandler follow the exam

dard OF Tuden, Hen bricks and Reform

The TmquisfsoriaI Committee Re-
ports.

The Senatorial Inquisition Committee
has made its report. The majority re-
port will be found elsewhere. That of
the minority viii be reproduced at On
early day.
As was expected the majority of
the Committee has given birth to a
bloody shirt catnpaign document, man
ufactured from the testimony Of drilled
witnesses. This duty was assigned them
when they were appointed, and they
have performed it certainly to the best of
their ability. With evident delight the
stupendous falsehoods which were told
them under oath, have been rehashed
and under their tongues they have rolled
as delicious morsels the bloody tales of
ignorant, prejudiced and unprincipled
witnesses. We know that few months
ago it was asserted ~ the Radical lead
ers in this State that the blood Of twenty
| FIVE or more negroes would benefit the
Republican party. 1t is evident from
this report that in addition thereto it was
believed by the Radical leaders in Wash
ington, that perjury was necessary for the
success of their party.
Documents were furnished the COM
mittee, and used by the majority, show
ing what the expenses Of the State gov
eminent during the war was, when gold
/ 4 ftx,f Ira 4
in Confederate money, to prove that
there had been no extravaganza or steal
ing under Radical rule. Witnesses were
produced to prove that the innocent
Radical lambs had been, and are still
being slaughtered in cold blood by the
Democratic wolves.
These Radical leaders in Mississippi,
have Endorsed and abetted, for personal
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, the wholesale denuncia-
ton of the Southern white people as
liars, thieves and assassins, and yet they
will meet us with the blandest smiles
and politest bows, as if they had not done
these people wrong that years may not
repair.
The Committee having denounced US,
has threatened Tin the way of recon-
me .datioD) a new reconstruction. The
threat will not have the effect to intimi-
! date the people Of this State to again
submit to Radical rule. They may be
remanded to military peonage, but when
ever they are guaranteed the right of
the ballot box, they will arise in their
might, even though it be to the remotest
generation and throw off the yoke of the
oppressor.
From time to time, we will publish the
testimony, so that those who have been
slandered may know what was said OF
them by these drilled witnesses. 1t is
we'll that they be known, and what they
have said of us be remembered.

Ale to Fire the Northern Heart.

The following is taken from the Chica-

vince the traveller who has also tested
the New Orleans, ST. Louis & Chicago
road, that in all the essentials OF exPe-
ditions. safe and comfortable travelling,
the latter is not surpassed. This fact is
due to the superior administrative ability
of Col. +. D. Frost, who has taken rank
among the ablest and mast successful
RAILROAD managers of the day. The road
is nov IL splendid condition. A large
portion has recently been cross-tied and
relaid with iron Of the most approved

departments with the precision of clock

Important Accession.

Hon. J. A. Orr, lately the most
popular member of the Radical party in
the State, and universally considered to
be the ablest, in public speech in
Lowndes county, endorsed Col Null
drow, the Democrat nominee for Con-
gress, and declared for Tilden, Hendricks
and Reform in the Presidential election.
The RADICALS had boosted that Judge
Orr would lead them &c victory in the
coming Congressional canvass. But he
has adopted the wiser part, and what is left
of the rank and file should make haste to
follow his example.

The McComb City Intelligencer, with
characteristic enterprise, publishes the
full text of the very able Centennial
address delivered by Gen. A. NJ. West,
giving a history of the growth, develop
ment and progress of Mississippi, and the
inducements which she offers tempt:ngly
to immigration. and capital. The theme
was fruitful, and the occasion one of
peculiar interest, and the State has no son
who could bring a more devoted heart TO
her cause than the orator. The address
elected the highest compliments from
the Northern press, whose reporters were
present st its delivery. 1t will be en-
braced in volume, with other Centen-
NAL addresses, commemorative of the
times and events in which we live. AS
soon as our space can be spared from the
issues of the canvass, which require inn
mediate attention, we shall quote liberal
ly from it for THE CLARION.

that the political sdyenturers and their

Mai. j. r. Sessions, who was elected State
Senator from the Brookhaven District, as a
Republican. few years ago, has come out
in favor of T;lden and Hendricks.-Kosci-
usko Star
1t ought to be remembered, to the
credit of Maj Sessions, that as a mem
Der of the Senate, he never cast vote
not in strict accord with the best interest
of his constituents; and it should be
especially noted that he moved the reso-
buttons, which were warmly supported by
the Democrats and Conservatives, in
dignantly protesting against the military
invasion of the Louisiana Legislature
Maj. Sessions in supporting Tilden and
Hendricks is in the line which he has
always pursued and never deviated from
in principle, as true and faithful son of
Mississippi.

The meeting Of the Democratic Ma
tional Executive Committee in New
York, on the I'd inst, was we'll attended
and highly satisfactory The Committee
adopted plan Of thorough organization,
and it is sufficient to say that it is an
organization for victory.
The condition and prospects of the
Democratic party are as favorable as
could be desired. Perfect confidence is
felt in the success of the ticket in New
York, which, by the consent of both
parties, is the pivotal point of the con-
test. New Jersey, Connecticut of course
Deleware,) and the Pacific States are
counted upon with absolute certainty for
Tilden and Hendricks. What the
Southern States will do has been fore
Swallowed by the verdict of Alabama,
which has led off with 40, 900 majority
for the Reform cause. The German
element, with its huge vote in the
North West, manifests unmistakable
sgus Of preference for Tilden and Hen
bricks on the questions of Reform,
Hard Money and Anti-sumptuary laws.
The Catholics are going almost in body
against Hayes on account of his we'll
known Known othing proclivities, and 1t
cannot have escaped the notice of our
readers that the leading newspaper organ
of the people of the Israelitish faith has
| declared for the Democratic ticket, on
account of the intolerance of the influences
that surround the Radical candidates.
The money power, this time as hereto
| fore, will not all be on the side of the
Republican ticket. The capitalists OF
the East feel perfect confidence that the
securities of the Government will be
protected in good faith, and even their
value enforced by any administration OF
which Mr.. Tilden is the head.
The Democrats have large hope OF
carrying Indiana, and strange as it may
seem, Ohio, also, in the October elections
But the issue with their ticket is not
staked on either one, nor on both these
States; they can elect it without them,
while the loss of either to the Republi-
cans, it is acknowledged on all sides, will
be followed by total route in Novem-
Der. Senator Morton has opened the
canvass in Indiana in a speech of re-
markable yigor and adroitness. His
chief reliance is a vigorous waving Of
the bloody shirt ard diversion of the
mind of the North, from the cOrruptions
and northumberland of the party in
power But the very tone of his speech
shows the desperation Of the cause it is
designed to save from sinking. His party
in Indiana has been no little demoralized
by the withdrawal of Orth, its nominee
for Governor, in consequence of detection
in notorious villianies
Upon the whole. the omens of victory,
after the long era of Radical misrule
are as bright and cheering as the most
hopeful friend of Reform could desire.
In this connection, it is proper to say
that Mississippi is set down in the COLUMN
of Tilden and Hendricks States, and her
member of the Committee has pledged
that she will remain there.

Democrats and Reformers, if you have
not already organized a central or county
club, 90 to work and effect an organiza-
ton at once. The central club thus or
gained, should proceed without delay
to appoint canvassers for each election
district, so that auxiliary clubs may be
formed, These clubs should see that the
name of every Democrat, conservative
or Reformer, no matter by what
name he prefers to be called, pro-
vided he will vote the reform ticket,
should be entered on the rolls. The
names of all voters, without refer
epee TO party, should be diligently hunt
ed up and recorded, and the persons an
swering to them, should be identified,
and the polls watched to prevent fraudu-
lent voting. Let us have free and fair
election and no corruption of the ballot
box.
