The relief committee of Canton.
g.. W. Thomas, president, issues an
earnest appeal tothe people of the
country Tor aid With which to care
for the sick and destitute. The
committee would have had a suffi-
cheney to meet all the wants in the
town, butthe disease having spread
into the country they exhausted
their supplies attending those out
OF town, and now assistance is
asked for. The committee say the
citizens are suffering for food and
attention, and ask for money, su-
gar, coffee, flour, rice and meat.
These appeals should be responded
TO promptly.

New Orleans Times, gives the date
of the first frost in this locality
every year since 1870:

1t will be observed that the
earliest appearance of frost for the
past seven years was on the I'd OF
November, aud that the latest date
was on the Goth of the same month.
Taking the average for the last
seven years would bring it to the
18th, therefore, judging from the
past, We cannot reasonably nope
for frost in this section under three
weeks from this date - possibly
sooner, or it may be later. We
hope, however, to see the marks of
old Jacks breath upon vegetation
by the first of next month, if not
sooner. God grant it may be so.

End of the zach ting Season.

MISSISSIPPI CITY, Oct. 10, 1873.
Editor Dcmocrat-Star:
1t is with sincere regret that l
am forced to report the END Of the
season OF the Mississippi Yacht
Club" The alarm consequentupon
the prevailing illness, and u natu-
raj feeling that this is not the time
to enjoy sporting, has caused a
lukewarmness among the mem
berS, and our worthy president,
although living where the music of
the pillows is constantly reminding
him of his neglected duties, still
appears deaf to their importuni-
ties, consequently the yachts are
idly swinging at their anchors, hal
lizards swaying to the breeze and
sails becoming moldy from diSuse.

Some two weeks ago the Jackson
Clarion stated that the governor
had under advisement the subject
whether he had the power to ap.
point a successor in place of Hon.
Kinloch Falconer, or whetherthere
should be an election ordered. The
Clarion has had nothing to say
upon the subject since, and we pre-.
sumo GOV. Stone has decided that
he had the power to appoint, under
section 100 of the code OF 1871,
which reads as follows:
The governor shall fill by appointment,
with the advice and consent Of the senate,
all offices subject to such appointment I'M
der the constitution aud laws, when the
term of the incumbent is about to expire (;
and, also by the approval of the seuate, all
such vacancies occurring from any cause
during the session of that body and he
shall also appoint for all vacancies occur
ring from any cause in such offices during
the vacation of the senate and also in all
other racaRcie8 not otheT1cise filled By lac, etc.
From the above it appears the
governor has the appointing power,
and of course there will be no spe-
cial election held for the Office of
secretary of state. Col. ID. 2. Por-
ter has already been appointed to
fill the vacancy, and in his appoint
ment we have an able and compe-
tent gentlemen to fill the Office
made vacant by the death of the
distinguished and lamented Kin
Loeb Falconer.

HELLER's LAST WoNDER.-The latest
wonder of the magician Heller and his
sister is thus described Upon blank
card Miss Heller wrote single word,
the card was then sealed in an evelope
and given 10 a person in the audience,
three dice were given to another, and a
number of small cards, containing each
a single figure, to still another. The
one to whom the dice had been given
threw them. Miss Heller who sat upon
the platform, Immediately said 1.-THE
figures upon the tops OF the dice make
322," which WAS correct. A number
card was then selected by one of the
audience from the person who held the
cards. "You have drawn mum Der g."
said Miss II teller, which was the case.-
I" Now" said Mr.. Heller to the man
who held the dictionary, open that book
to page 322 and tell US what is the sixth
word from the top ofthe page" "Cab-
afstic," answered the man, and the
envelope being then opened, " Cabaiis-
tic" was found to be the word which
Miss Heller had written. OF all unn-
teiligible, inapprehensible, inconcevable,
inexplicable, Inscrutabre perplexing mys-
teries, this new wonder is the most
mystical.

ASSAULTED From brief dispatch to
the San Francisco CaU we learn that
on Tuesday last Supervisor L Reiser, of
qehama county, assaulted Mr. Jos. H.
Pryor, one Of the Proprietors Of the Red
Bluff Topples Cause. The alleged reas-
on is that the Cause published commu-
nication from citizen of tho Bluffs
| " herein the correspondent reflected upon
the action OF Mr.. Reissr as Supervisor.
Reser demanded from Pryor the name of
the writer which Mr.. Pryor very proper
ly refused to divClge, whereupon the Su-
pervisor struck him. Reiser is big
overgrown Fellow, while 10. is OF small
stature. An editor or publisher has no
right to divulge the name Of correspond
ent unless in extreme cases and even then
we shonld hesitate to do so unless author
lied by the writer himself Publishers
are responsible for what appears in their
papers, and 40 not often insert eommuni-
cations without being advised of the truth
Of statements contained therein. Ifnaws
paper correspondents wanted people to
know who they were they would write
over their own proper signatures. We
hope this Supervisor Bully will be made
to see that newspaper men are allowed to
attend to their own business and that his
assault was contrary to tho Statutes in
such cases made and provided.

CONSTITUTIONAL DELEGATES. Citi-
zens of this County were decidedly in
favor Of non partisan nominations for
Delegates to the Constitutional Conven-
tion. We have talked about the matter
to many residents OF different localities
and heard no objections made to the
course proposed by the joint meeting Of
the Democratic and Republican Central
Com mittees few weeks ago. This action
was at once communicated to the Central
Committees Of Siskiyou, Modoc and
Shasta with request that similar action
be taken on their parts. Nothing has
been heard from those counties, except
Siskiyou where the Democrats have call
ed party Convention. This puts an end
TO non -partisan nomination so far rs this
Senatorfal District is concerned. In
Shasta county the Democratic and Re
publican Committees were called to meet
on Saturday last, but no one here has
been advised as to what they did, il any
thing. There is an apparent uncertainty
AS to just how candidates will be nominal
ed, but indications now are that party
nominations will have to be made in this
Senatorial and Assembly District. As to
the Delegates at large, that is also badly
mixed matter, the Democrats have called
State Convention at Sacramento NAV
22d TO nominate full ticket this Dis
trict will meet in Citizens Convention at
Marysyille to nominate eight candidates
from this Congressional District; the
Second District Republican Committee
has also called a Convention at Sacra-
Tento for May Goth and invited the Dem
ocrats to join them. There seems TO be
but little head and no tail to the whole af-
fair SO far. Even the Workingmen have
divided among themselves. With the
Democrats and Republicans tho trouble
seems 10 be with the leaders more the in
dividuals comprising the parties. Tho
election takes place June 10Th ard some
thing should soon be done to get Cand-
dates before the people. In this County
we have only the half Of one delegate and
a quarter of another. If we had one all
TO ourselves there would be no difficulty
in getting both political parties to unite
on a good candidate.
