what Africa Demands.

1t is a favorite method of the carpet
bag guides of the colored people to put
enmity between them and the Southern
whites, to complain that the latt have
not been liberal in comforting office upon
the blacks. These political Adventures
are from Northern States where the ne
groes have had uninterrupted freedom
for generations, and it is worthy of re-
mark that they are preaching here in the
South what they have never practiced at
home. For example, how many ne
groes have been sent 10 the Legislature
or to Congress. or elected Governor,
in all the Radical New England and
Western States put together? The cant
of these demagogues about the ill-treat-
ment of the eoia.ed race, has not eacaped
the notice of the latter, VINO Ihink It is
time that they should cease to serve al
together in the capacity of hewers of
wood and drawers Of Water for their Rad
zeal taskmasters. Consequently at a re-
cent meeting in a Northern city We find
them adopting the following resolutions:
"WHEREAs, We, the colored people of this
city. always have given. and do now give,
our votes and influence to the Republican
party, and have only been treated a. hew-
ers of wood and drawers of water, there
fore.
''Resolued That we believe it is but Just
that the great Republican party see to it
that representative men from among our
people receive positions, both elective and
appointive, and. as We bclieva they can, if
they will, we now give notice that we
shall ask the party in the coming campaign
in this city to give us a candidate on their
ticket, which candidate we claim tho right
to name. and we do not feel that we are ask
ing toS MICH when we ask this of the party
to which we have aiEays proved loyal"

Too SooN.-We beg our good friends
Dot "a trouble us With communications on
the subject Of the gubernatOnial nomina-
ton. until after the Presidential election.
The present fight with Radicalism must not
be embarrassed by agitation in our own
ranks ON the subject of the State canvass
next year. When this struggle is over,
then we can begin to look around for
standard bearer for 1877. Until then.
let US dismiss every thought relating to
future elections. 1t is bad policy in
politics, as well as in war between ma
tions or individuals, to take more than
one fight on your hands st the same
time.

The Democratic CoIored Voters

Prof King, one of the sharpest col
ored men we ever knew, assisted IN start
ing the Reform ball in the Raymond
neighborhood last summer, and then re-
tired to the lower part of the county,
where he was among the leading ones
in pulling the boys through. He now
lives in the clark corner" where he has
organized Democratic Club, composed
of one hundred and fifty colored men
who voted the Radical ticket last fall.
The Professor says this Club will appear
in solid column at the first county meet
ing held, and every member wants a
Democratic badge. They shall have the
badges. county Gazette.
This reminds US to say that one of the
first duties of the Democratic clubs should
be to protect the Democratic voters of
color in their right to vote and to work
for the Democratic candidates if they
choose; and for this purpose each
club should appoint committee of
vigilance to take the matter specially in
charge. Heretofore the carpet-baggers
have relied principally upon the practice
of intimidation of colored voters by their
own race to carry the elections. Most of
the riots have resulted from this cause.
1t was partially arrested in the last can
vass by frmness and vigilance. In
the present canvass it must be entirely
stopped. We must have i free and fair
election

WE learn that our able Superintendent
of Public Instruction, Hon. I. S. Gath
right, has been rendered by a unanimous
vote of the Board of Trustees, the Presi-
dency of the Agricultural College, of
Texas, at Bryant, with residence, and
salary of $4,000. While in common
with Mississippians, We appreciate this
high compliment to the eminent citizen
who has been so long identified with the
educational Interests of the State, we
should regret if Texas should secure, in
his services, what to Mississippi would be
a loss that could not be repaired.

A ParsIxnn Grand Jury Report.

To show the desperate means to which
discomftted Radical partizans are resort
ing to regain their lost power ia this
State, we have published the report of
the United States Grand Jury, which, by
some sort of hocus- pocus manipulation,
turned out to be a regular political con-
clave. If we are not mistaken the fore
man himself (whoever heard Of a member
of the bar serving as a grand juror?)
was one of the Chancellors who lost his
office in consequence of the Reform trl-
umph, and therefore he has his revenge
to crafty. In common with other ex-
officials, he does not like the wholesome
bitter of the medicine which the people
administered and therefore the election
was all wrong. 1t was fraud. Nio-
lence and intimidation were employed to
carry it and drawing the picture from
their own disconsolate emotions, these
partizan jurymen can see nothing but the
blackness Of despair in the future, unless
the Administration will come to their
relief with its STRONG arm" meaning,
we suppose, the military arm. Now if
these iurymen had consulted the Consti-
tuition Of the United States, they would
have found that the United States au-
thorites are tresspassers and liable to
punishment, as any other law breakers
would be, if they dare violate that high
est law of the land, which declares that
the military power shall be subordinate
to the civil, and that any person accused
of crime shall have a trial before an i'm
partial jury of the district and State in
which it is alleged to have been com
mitted.
The worst features of this report is the
prostitution of The COURTS Of Justice to
the partizan schemes and political re-
venges. We marvel that Judge Hill
permitted it to pass unrebuked.

Some of the particulars of the race
troubles at Hamburg, South Carolina,
Gust across the riyer from Augusta Ga, J
will be found in another column. The
whole story is condensed in a nutshell.
1t has been enacted a thousand times
over in the reconstructed States. The
negroes, drunk with the power which
they are ignorant OF using with reason,
undertook to eide rough-shod over order,
defed the civil law and undertook to es-
tablish a reign OF terror over the whites,
who, driven TO desperation, resented their
wrongs and visited summary vengeance
upon the ring leaders of the mob, not
however until one of their number had
been shot down and killed. No impartial
person can read the reports of the affair
without approving the conduct of the
| whites, and at the same time sympathl-
zing with them in the misfortune OF haV-
! ing been forced to such an extremity Of
action in self-defense. 1t all comes of the
diabolical teachings Of the white Radical
leaders of the negroes, who bave organ
lied those political agencies known as
negro militia companies to encourage the
blacks 20 commit, just such outrages a:
brought on the trouble at Hamburg ''fol
the good of the Radical party" as oul
late Mr. Ames was wont to say. We
trust that we may be spared the recita
of many such affairs in this canvass, Blu
they seem to be inevitable from thu
training which the self-constituted polit
zeal guides of the coIored people hav,
given them. So far as affecting injuri
ously the prospects of the Reform party
at the North, as alleged, we do not be
lieve a word of it. The New Orlean
trouble occurred just preceding the cleo
ton of 1874 when Radicalism was routed
in the Northern States, horse, foot anC
dragons. The people of that section
have at last learned that mobs and riot
are the inevitable products of carpet-bas
rule in the Southern States.
