Politics in Mississippi.

1t is well known that the Democrats
of our neigh5oring State, by a hard
struggle and great personal sacrifice
but recently redeemed their State from
corruption and misrule but now, SC
soon after this Eard-won victory, anu
before they have recovered from the
blighting effects of official corruption

tined to engage in as bard a struggle
as ever, or to suffer defeat at the hands
of a few protested Democrats-mal.
contents-and the Radicals, because
there are not Offices TO go round
among all who consider themselves
peculiarly fitted for official position
In other words, the struggle is to be
fought over OF the fruits of great
victory bs lost through the selfish
ambition and cupidity of few sore
heads. Such is the case, at least in
Warren county, where au hermaphro-
dite ticket has been put into the field
in opposition to the regular ticket.
We know that in nominations the
wisest selections are not always made;
that it is simply impossible that every
member of party can he perfectly
satisfied with each name on q ticket /;
but 1t is not prudent or wise to
jeopardize the interests Of the country
by refusing to support it on this
account. Personal preferences should
always give precedence to the public
good. Besides, the nominations made
in the present instance came as near
being an expression of the wishes of
ali the voters as it is possible for
nominations to he, because they were
made by primary election, in which
every member of the party had the
privilege of expressing his preference,
and if he failed to do so it is his own
fault, and even if he did vote and
failed to secure the nomination of the
candidates of bis choice, be should
gracefully submit to the decision of
the majority; and if he is ac,uated by
patriotic motives be wiU Arrays do so.
There is no other means Of preserving
party discipline and unity and achiev-
ing success.
If q majority of the voters of
Mississippi should now suffer them
selves tn be drawn of from the sup
port of the regular ticket by the
arguments of demagogues and sore
heads, thus creating a disruption of
the party that can alone save the
State from misrule, the fruits of their
former victory will be lost, and they
will have the modification of knowing
that they have again turned their
State over to the rule of ignorance and
corruption. But we have a better
opinion of our neighbors, and conf
IDENTIFY believe that they will give the
malconten's a rebuke that they will
not soon forget.

Congressional.

At the assembling Of the Senate,
last Monday, all the Senators were
present except Morton, of Indiana,
and Mcmillan, of Minnesota. Nothing
was done but to adjourn til; next day.
Indications are that there will be
strong Republican opposition to the
Administration.
The House met, and, after little
6libustering over the call of the roll,
organized by elec,ing Randall Speaker
on the lst ballot, the vote, standing,
Randall, l49; Garfield, 1872; where
upon Randall arose and delivered a
patriotic and appropriate speech. The
organization was then completed by
the election of Adams, of Kentucky,
Clerk; John G. Thompson, of Ohio,
Sargeut-at-Arms; John W. Polk, of
Missouri, Doorkeeper; JAS. NJ.
Stewart, of Virginia, Postmaster, and
Rev. John Posscl, of Maryland,
Chaplain.
The drawing of seats of members
was then proceeded with, the swearing
in of members being put off until
Tuesday.
Tuesdays press report says: After
a struggle for precedence, the case of
Rainey, of South Carolina, was taken
I'd, when Mr.. Cox sent to the chair
papers from Governor Hampton TO be
read.
The committee appointed by the
Republican caucus to contest the roll
of Clerk Adams, is on the qui vive,
and the proceedings in each case will
he long.
Ben. Butler was selected to manage
the case of Darrell, of Louisiana.
Darrell has certificates from Kellogg
and Nichols, is on the Clerks roll.
and has received pay to date. Butler
thinks he has good case.
Hale has charge of Rainey's case,
and is making o set speech.
In the Senate, during the morning
hour, q large number of bills and
petitions were presented and referred
TO appropriate committees.
Among the petitions were many
from various parts Of the country in
favor of increasing the compensation
of letter-carriers.
Among the bills was one by Mr.;
Beck, of Kentucky, for the removal
of all disabilities imposed by the
Fourteenth Amendment to the Con-
st;tution of the United States. Refer
rcd 10 the Committee on Judiciary.

THE lMMIGRATIOO CONVEN.
TlON.

While we have a hope that the
beginning that has been made in the
interest of immigration will lead TO
glorious results in the future, and that
not a far distant futre, yet we can but
regret that SO few of the North Lou
isiana parishes were represented in
the convention, which met in Shreve.

lowing were the parishes represented /:
Bienville, Bossier, Claiborne. Caddo,
ID. Soto, Natchitoches, Red River and
Webstcr-eight in all but the dele.
gates organized a permanent North
Louisiana Immigration Aid Society, /"
with the following gentlemen as
officers: President, A. Il. George, of
Webster. Vice Presidents, Il. F..

of Claiborne, and J. NJ. Foster, of
Caddo. Secretaries. S. NJ. Potts, of
DeSoto; G. W. Tompkins, Of Webster,
aud A. d. Battle, Of Caddo.
In response to the call for this
meeting few of the citizens of Rich
land held meeting and elected a
delegate, with the advice that, if be
did not attend be would send a proxy
TO some one who would; and,
although our delegate did not attend
the Convention, we do not want to be
cleft out in the cold" but wish it
distinctly understood that there is as
much room for immigrants in Richland
as any other parish in the State
according to size 4; that they are as
welcome here as anywhere; that
there are as many inducements as
elsewhere, and that it is as easy Of
access as any other parish.
Our people have not shown as
much zeal on the subject as some Of
their neighbors, but we hope soon to
see them do so; and, in the mean
time, we promise the officers of this
Society all the information We can
give concerning the advantages our
parish present, by answering all
inquiries they may see fit to PROFOUND
to US, and to give them any other
assistance in our power. We, there
fore, hope they will not leave US out
IN u,aking up their reports, maps, etc.
