Nominating ConVenIiOus---SIa
sy Ihe Old Landmarks.

1t seems probable that in some of the
Congressional Districts there will be no
competitor for the nomination, and that
the present members, if they so desire
will be continued in the positions they
now fill For this reason some of our
contemporaries are suggesting that no
Conventions be held in those Districts on
the ground of avoiding trouble and ex-
pense. We warn our friends against
this decision. 1t will prove the entering
wedge to the serious disorganization Of
the Democratic party by establishing
the fatal precedent of departing from the
usage and violating the discipline that is
essential to the preservation of its unity,
the destruction Of which will place the
control of the State in the hands of its
political enemies andprobably give them
control in the election of members of
Congress. 1t will undoubtedly encour
age the running of Independents If
there Is no regular nominee, one Demo
crat has the same right that any other
has to take the field. Neither one nor the
other will be the regular nominees and
all who are candidates without the sane
ton of a Convention, strictly speaking,
will be Independents. True it may be
said that the weight of testimony is in
favor Of the candidacy Of this man or
that as tie choice of the party, but that
will be n matter of opinion about which
differences will exist; and if a Conven-
ton has been dispensed with, where is
the common arbiter, and who is to de
eide? Our friends may find that in trying
to avoid trouble they will have brought it
on. There is no safety except in adher-
ing to the old landmarks and standing bv
the usages of the party. Let us have
Conventions of delegates fresh from the |
people, and there will be no difficulty in |
deciding who are entitled to the votes of |
the party; who are Independents and who
are not.

EDITORS CLARION: According to prom
Use, will write you a few lines from this
point touching the fruit crop, &c.
Fruit and vegetables have been shipped
from here since the first week in April.
Strawberries came in first, then green peas
and beans. and tomatoes. Our first tomatoes
went forward about the 18th of Nav. Get
them early into market, and tomatoes are
the most profitable crop we can raise, brino-
ing six and seven dollars per bushel. Can
RAISE as fine tomatoes here as you can in the
world, surprising New Orleans and Mobile.
and even Florida. This vegetable does not
require too much of tropical sun Cor full
development end color.
Strawberries did poorly this spring, owing
to heavy rains. There are now planted
out about seventy acres in straw berries near
this place. ! thipk the business will be
overdone. We are also trying Turner's i'm
proved raspberry and the blackberry. Don't
know how they will succeed.
Have been shipping peaches about two
weeks. This season we find New Orleans
even better market than Chicago for early
peaches outside of the high freights to that
point. Have sales this morning at 81 "a
per 3 bushel, netting over ten dollars per
bushel- We can't grumble at this There
has been shipped from here already about
800 boxes of peaches, 500 bushels of green
peas and alb out 400 bushels of beans. and |
suppose there will be shipped 1900 or 9a0o
boxes or tomatoes. The peach crop will |

The purport of the Army bill as it
passed the lower House of Congress by
the Democratic majority is that it re-
duees the army from %, 600 to 10000,
and reduces somewhat the number of
officers. Its chief merit consists in a
clause declaring that it shall not be law
full TO employ any part of the Army of
the United States as posse eomitatus or
otherwise under the preteXt or for the
purpose of executing the laws. except in
such cases and under such circum-
stances as such employment of said
force may be expressly authorized by
act of Congress; and no money appro-
priated by this act shall be used to pay
any of the expenses incurred in the en-
ployment of any troops in violation of
this section.

Mississippi Manufacturing Z.

Mr.. f. Richardson, Commissioner to
the Paris Exposition, left to attend it on
the first inst. He carries with him
among other articles, numerous speci-
mems of goods manufactured at the Mis-
sissippi Mills, including among the rest,
those which took prizes at the Philadel
phia Centennial These specimens, FOR
variety and choice descriptions, will no
doubt create surprise among the manu-
facturers abroad, and direct attention to
the business of manufacturing IN the
Southern States that the enterprise of
which Mr.. Richardson is the head, has
been demonstrated to be a success. But
it need not occasion wonder that 1t Is so.
These manufactures are at the gates of
the Southern plantations where the staple
is produced. from which the manufac-
tured articles are wrought. This saves
the cost of transportation. Fuel and
water are abundant. Labor is cheap
and abundant; and why should not our
Southern establishments compete success
fully with European as we'll as the North
ern manufactures? The former have
one advantage which cannot be overcome;
it is in the superiority of the Southern
raw material of cotton over that of the
production of India or any other coun-
try. Nature has given our cotton grow
ers and manufacturers this advantage,
which no human invention can over
come.
We have no doubt the visit of Mr..
Richardson and other Southern manu-
faeturers with their fabrics abroad, will
give fresh impetus to the manufacturing
interests of the South. 1t will show her
capabilities and advantages in that line
The South is in want of nothing so much
as manufacturing for the development of
her resources and the restoration of her
prosperity. One of the great, among the
numerous benefits, that will attend the
growth Of this great industry, is the en-
ployment which it will give to women
and children who can make their living
by manual labor in no other occupation
so easily. For example, the Mississippi
Mills have upon their payroll five hun
dred and fifty persons, mostly of these
classes who otherwise would be depend
ent upon the male members of their
families for subsistence At the Mills
they are comfortable and contented,
earning their own living by their own la
Dor.

St.Iouis Republican,

SOMEBODY Is badly frightened. Is
there reason for it? Or are the wicked
fleeing when no man pursueth? North
ern Boards Of Trade are passing resolu-
tions asking Congress to increase the
army to hold the Communists in check.
The plan suggested is to increase it to
1000, 900 men, comprising 100 regiments
each 1000 strong, and station them at
various points throughout the country.
They will please not to include Missis-
sippi in this programme. Her people
can take care of, and enforce, the laws
for themselves Besides, we are taught
by the highest authority, that the supreme
law of the land forbids the employment
of the army in police service for the
States. The way to put stop to COM
munism is to discontinue the system of
building up monopolies licensed to prey
upon the labor and the property of others.
Let us have more reverence for equal
rights and less talk about vested
rights.
