First Congressional District OF
Mississippi.

We favor tariff for Revenue Onl y, and
we urge the immediate modification OF
the present, which enriches the manufac-
turers, while it Expresses and impover'
ishes all other classes.
We demand the immediate and uncon-
ditonal repeal of the Act of January,
1875, compelling the resumption of specie
payment on the LIST of January, 1879.
We demand the abolition of National
banks, and the issue directly by the gov
eminent of sufficient amount Of green
back currency to meet the wants of trade
and relieve the distressed condition of the
people, which currency shall be receiva-
Bile for all debts, public and private, in

nal acts under which the said bonds were
issued
We approve so much of the act of the
present congress as authorizes the remon-
etzation of silver, but oppose the limita-
ton opposed by said act, and demand
unlimited coinage.
We affirm the right of Congress to ex-
ercise the power Of supervision over inter
state railroad corporations, and we de-
mand in the name of the oppressed peo-
pie of this country, that Congress enact
such laws as shall protect us against the
inordinate exactions, from which we have
so long suffered.
We favor the bill, making the COM
missioner of Agriculture a Cabinet Off
Ger and applaud the conduct Of our able
and our efficient representative in intro
ducing and advocating it.
We approve the investigation into the
frauds by which the will Of the people as
expressed at the late Presidential election,
was set aside, and Rutherford b. Hayes,
who was not elected, installed as Pres-
dent, with view to the proper punish
ment of the guilty parties, and to prevent
the repetition of such frauds in the flu

The National Democracy.

The Batesville Blade, an organ of the
Nationals in Pamela county, falls readily
into the notion propagated by some of
the Democratic leaders that the Northern
Democracy ''has failed to do the South
justice" and that her people had better
discard them and look out for new afiIi-
ations. 1t says that "though there was
majority of Democrats in the last Con-
gress, no action was taken to relieve the
country from paying interest on millions
of bonds; none to prevent resumption,
which means ruin; none to destroy the
protective tariff, which means to fatten
the monopolists of New England, and
none to give the insulted and down-trod
den South, Frustrated and bleeding from
a hundred ugly wounds, equal advantages
with the North in the way of internal
imprv vements." The Blade ought to
know that the Northern Democracy when
the South had no voice in the National
councils, opposed the rObber financial
policy of the Republicans; that they have
fought it at every stage of the contest;
that at the last session the Democrats
having majority in the House passed a
bill repeating the resumption act and that
it was defeated by the Republican SEN
ate; that the bill to modify the existing
high tariff received no support in the
North except from Democrats and that
the appropriations to the Southern States
for improving their rivers and harbors
were liberal where the representatives of
those States used proper efforts to secure
them. And the Blade ought to know
that upon the paramount issue of pre-
serving republican institutions on the
one hand and centralized despotism on
the other, there is no Northern champion
ship for the former except in the ranks
of the National Democracy from whom
it is endeavoring to lead away our peo-
ple,

Fruit Growers Convention at
Crystal Springs.


We have seen it announced that the
Fruit Growers Association of the Gulf
States propose to hold convention at
Crystal Springs, for the purpose of con-
sulting with the officers of the various
railroad lines centering at New Orleans,
in order to secure rapid transit of fruit
from here to the principal cities of the
North and West. The main object of the
convention is to secure rapid transit, reg
ular schedule and through trains, so as
to obviate the delays occasioned by mis-
sing connections. Should the convention
succeed, the agreement would be of inn
mense benefit to our fruit growers, who
await with the deepest concern its as
sembling.
The increasing importance of the fruit
growing industry, render the proposed
Convention, very proper one. A more
suitable place for its deliberation than
Crystal Springs could not have been Sc

The Threatened Coalition.

Referring to what he terms the threat
ened sale of the Democratic party, South,
to the Northern Radicals" DR.. Hunter
of the Crystal Springs Monitor speaks
out with Characteristic frankness-say-
ing:
1t is true the Radicals have shown no dis
position either in or out of Congress to ad-
vance Southern interests; but that seems to
be a matter of no consequence to the advo-
Gates of the measure.
Now, we submit that this is heavy un-
dertaking; and would simply remind the
journals advocating the transfer and sale
that the people of Mississippihave very little
confidence in Radical promises, and they
cannot be rushed into the sale pen without
a good deal of driving. The threat, first
made, to transfer the allegiance of the
Southern Democracy to the Radical party.
was kind of innocent bull-dozing which
met with very faint success, and which was
as understandable as it was futile. Granted
that Southern Congressman have some rea-
SON TO complain that their pet subsidy meas

the Northern Democrats in Congress, do
those schemes meet better support from
the Northern Radicals: II they do not land

We will answer our correspondent
with perfect candor, from the lights be-
fore us. The road will be built in less
than two years. The interest will not
begin to run until 1879. No money
can be paid out until next year, and then
only interest on the bonds from the time
the company sells them. The money
will be expended in this county, and paid
out in great measure by the company in
the construction of the road before
any interest is collected. If the
company realizes only 80 cents on the
dollar, little over $4,000 a year will
pay the entire debt in fifteen years.
There will be no increase of taxes if the
subscription is voted, for the reason that
exclusive of the subscription, there will
be reduction of taxes the present year
by law of $4,000 Hence there will be
no additional pressure upon the tax-pay-
ers, and no necessity for anybody to be-
come ''homeless. The building of the
road will operate in Kinds as it has done
in Adams. 1t will increase the value of.
and the demand for, lands. What we
desire to impress upon the people of our
county is that the present rate of taxes
will pay State tax, the interest on pres
ent bonded debt and the railroad sub.
scription.

EDS. CLARION: Owing to the great di-

or against the subscription to the N, J. &
C.. r. r 1 write for information. hope
some gentleman favoring the proposition
will answer the writer as well as a vast
number of others in the county, the follow
ing questions:
Should the subscription be voted, what
time will it take to complete the road
Can the people afford to be out of the use
of so much money for two years before they
receive any benefit from the road admit
ing that the road does benefit the voters.) /?
In my opinion. they cannot afford it. The
sheriff's books will show that a great guam
tity OF lands were abandoned on account of
high taxes several years previous to this.
Now the great question with me is, s-If the
subscription is voted aud it will be as long
as two years before any relief reaches the
people through that channel, will not vast
number of the land owners be compelled to
abandon their lands? If the taxes heretofore
have been oppressive, will they not be un-
bearable with the addition OF the sub
scription tax p
If it does take two years to complete the
road, a vast mum Der of the present land own
ers and voters will be homeless-then it will
be too late to regret-tOo late to remedy the
evil; hence, it behoOvs us to consider this
momentous question well before we vote.
Respectfully,
