RODNEY. MISS, Aug. 20, 1876.
EdifOr Dem0cr1f For the fret time
since the war the Democracy OF Jeffer-
son county Ia thoroughly organized,
having political clubs in each voting
precinct, presided over by our best
citizens, that are working harmoniously
together in the cause OF reform. The
club il this precinct numbers over two
hundred among whom are thirty eight
colored voters.
The people Of this county have been
proyerbially-a criminally--indif.
ferent TO political affairs, but the last
straw has been added, aud the sovereign
people are rising and working with n
vim and perseverance, that deserves sue
cess.
On the 10th inst n ratification meet
ing and torchligbt procession was had
at Rodney, and, although the weather
was very uufavorable, there was large
and enthusiastic gathering of the citi-
aens. which was addressed by Gen. j. X.
Chalmers. Of CGahoma county, the can
didate for Congress In this sixth dis.
trict When the State was re-districted
last winter by the Democratic Legisla-
t,ire. all the other districts were felt TO
be sure for Democratic majority. but
the sixth was given away to secure the
others. The Republicans claim a
majority of 10000 in the district. which
il composed OF ten counties, bordering
On the river. This IL heavy odds to
battle against. but Gen. Chalmers Is
plucky, aud says Eve don't intend to be
given away"
A mass meeting was held Mt Fayette
on the lith, mt which 1t was estimated
two thousand people were present.
Speeches were made. here by Gen.
Cant ~ a .Innnu .1ndue
ShncltIeford, and other local speakers.
We had also several speeches from
colored men, notably one from George
". Brown, Of Teusas parish. who WIS
highly applnuded for the good sense OF
his remai ks. A great many colored
men were present, and gave the speak
ers their earnest and undivided atten-
lion. They are in condition at present
10 be brought over by judicious argu-
lnent, but are still suspicious when they
| hear anything they dislike or that they
do not understand.
The last Legislature passed an act
| that all county officers should give
| bond in the~-county where they serve.
Our sheriff "a negro and Rad cali has
been unable to do this, and u special
election will be held on the 23d inst. TO
elect another sheriff. Mr.. j. Il. Nc
Cormick il the nominee OF the Demo
Gratis. The Republicans have not made
any regular nomination. but 1t Is
understood that T. w. Hunt will be the
candidate. Both Mccormick and Hunt
are natives Of the county; the latter IL
County Superintendent of Education,
appointed by Cardozo.
The negroes have not taken that in
terest in politics they usually do, but
have staid at home 80 far, and attended
to their crops. The fact Is. they have
no local leaders who are capable OF con
ducting % canvass.
The crops are very good In this county,
except early corn, which was much in
jured by long continued dry weather
Cotton, although late, Is forming well.
