RICHMOND, Sunday, Sept. 3, 1876.
In her discourse of yesterday, Mrs. White made
stirring appeal to the congregation to repent
and accept of salvation. An invitation was then
extended to The people to come forward for pray
ers. Several responded to the CALI prayers and
earnest effort followed and before the close of the
meeting sixty persons had signfed their desire
for the prayers Of the church.
To day is delightfully."- cool and sunshiny, with
lust little too much wind to make it pleasant
speaking in the grove, with the rustling Of the
leaves and branches overhead. However, the
platform was moved forward into the midst Of the
congregation before the morning services.

subject of 1.-The Two Covenants, as related to

was planning boards with a machine in the steam
mill, when one of them flew up and hit him over
the eyes, making the blood run; another, cler-

The Democrats Transition.


The Democrat sat in his easy chair,
On Saturday morning last,
And CHASTITY grim was in the stare
He from the window cast;
And he watched The drops in their wild melee
Upon the window pane,
And he rubbed his hands, and shrieked with glee
"Oh glory see it Iain."
The d emocrat went and took drink,
For the weather began to clear,
AMI he felt is heart within him sink;
And he drank to give him cheer;
Aud he drank and drdDk-ihen staggered back
Aud his wife with good stout broom,
Gave his silly head beas'ly crack,
And this was the drunkaids doom.
The Democrat sat in his easy chair
And saw the procession pass,
Aud all called him, as they went by there,
An unmitigatt u ass
For the neignborhood was all al 2ht
And the houses all aglow,
But his was dark and black as night,
Aud his heart was filed with woe.
The rain had lail the dust just right,
And cooled the sultry air;
And that 1t was glol ous night
lie could Lot but declare.
In booless rage he gnashed his teeth,
And he pray ed that bootless, too,
Might he the crowd who smiled beneath
The flag, red, white and blue.
He would not listen to the cheers
Our boys gave with will,
For Hayes aud Wheeler; but his tears
Sreamed down for Tilden STILL
Weep on, poor wretch, there in the gloom
1t IL a fitting place,
And soon you'll share your party's doom
OF ruin and disgrace!

To the Democrats apt Conservatives OF
mississippi
A recent notice from Judge r. A Hill.
in reference to the appointment of Super
visors of Election, renders it necessary
for me to giveyou some instructions in re-
ference to that matter.
BY an Act Of Congress (Revison of
1875, Title xvii, any ten citizens resid-
ing in county in a Congressional Dis
trict may apply to the United States
Judge for the appointment of supervisors
of any Congressional election.
| suppose that an application will be
made to Judge Hill for the appointment
Of such supervisors in each Congressional
District. The law requires that two
supervisors shall be appointed (when
proper application is made) at each cleo
ton precinct. They are required to be
of different political parties, and able to
read and write the English language,
and residents of the county. | have no
doubt Judge Hill desires to APPOINT
proper persons in all cases, when he NAV
be called upon to act, and as he must
necessarily rely upon the advice of others
DIS to who shall be appointed, it will be-
come necessary for The Democrats and
Conservatives to take such action rs will
secure the placing before Judge Hill of
the names of suitable persons to be ap-
pointed.
| know of no better way to accomplish
this end than for the Chairman of the
Democratic and Conservative Club, at
the county seat of each county, to for
ward to me at once the names Of at least
two(2 )intelligent and responsible citizens
OF his county, for each precinct therein,
belonging to the Democratic and Conser-
vative party, from whom the Judge NAV
select one for each precinct. That is where
there are (5) five precincts in a county.
let the names of at least ten (l0) Conser-
tlves and Democrats be at once forward
Ell to me, two from each precinct, so that
90 five Of the number may be selected.
If the Chairman of the Democratic
and Conservative Committee can agree
with the Chairman of the Republican
Committee upon the proper number for
each county, one fer each party, for
each precinct, it would be preferable.
If that be done, let the names so agreed
on be forwarded, indicating which party
each belongs to.
In forwarding names, the precinct at
which each is desired to be appointed
should be indicated.
| ask for prompt action in this matter,
and that the names of no one will be
or forwarded who is not in
every respect trustworthy citizen.

The Past-.-A Warming for the
Failure.

For the first time the military port
folio of Ames has been opened to the
public eye. We publish chapter from
it elsewhere, which would have never seen
the Eight of day, had it not been for the
determined and unticing energies of
Mississipp7s sons in the last canvass, and
the energetic manner in which their
chosen representatives in the Legislature
forced the defeated Radical champions
from their chosen strongholds.
1t has repeatedly been said by The
Radicals that the course taken by Ames
and his gang in organizing the militia,
was caused by the action of the Demo
crats in cert9in counties. These letters
and orders give the assertion the lie.
The dates show, if we had not been
aware of their programme, that the
organization of the militia began as
early as May. Then all was peace. The
Conservative Democrats bad not organ
lied a single club. 1t was not even
A0own by the opposition that they
intended making an effort 20 redeem the
State.
The military prog ramme was conceived
long before the first letter was written. 1t
was fc:eshGdowed by the action of the
black line Legislature, and was foretold
in their speeches upon the Gatlin gun
bill in both houses. In vain did the
press of the Slate protest, az / the Demo
cratic members of 'that body inform its
Leaders that they were sowing the w;1d
to reap the wbirlwind.
They passed the militia law. 1t was
approved. The Legislature adjourned
and the Executive Department took
immediate steps to put its most OBJ
noxious features into effect. That it
amounted to nothing is no fault of
theirs. They played bold hand. They
intended it to be a "agedy. 1t proved
to be farce.
From the past we learn to guide our
selves in the fu.Jre. Mississippiaus
read these letters which was pregnant
with woe to you and yours, and take
waIA;ng for the future. Heed not the
honeyed tones Of the Radical leaders.
What they have been, they are now in
heart, and will be again in act. if you
allow them 20 regain power in this State.
Look at their conventions, you see the
same actors The same men gre on their
committees. If they were not prominent
under the Ames administration they
were shining ni;-hts whom Alnorn aud his
tools held high carnival IN the capital
Tboro NO. - l:ao - - vas
that there YVES more extravaganza under
the last named administration than
there was under the one which was
kicked out in November, 1875. Do you
intend ever again to submit to such
rule? We hope not. We believe not.
Then grid on your armor Organize
your clubs. Get ready for the conflict.
The time has arrived. Mississippi calls
upon her sons. Every man is expected
