SAYS the Philadelphia Times: "The Dem
ocrats of Mississippi seem determined to do
their best toward defeating the Democrats
of Ohio and every other doubtful State The
outrageous bulldozing of an independent
candidate in Yazoo county is still fresh in the
public mind when threats of the same sort
of treatment are openly made in Rankin
county. This is another section in which
the blacks largely Outnumber the whites,
but at the last election not a single vote was
cast against the Democratic ticket. The
Democratic managers apparently don't mean
to allow much more opposition to the regu-
lar ticket this year. As in YaZoo, there has
been movement toward running an indie
pendent ticket at the coming election, but
the Democratic organ at the county seat
serves notice in the plainest language upon
all persons contemplating such a course
that they will pursue it at their peril. 1t
says that no bull doing will be attempted
ON our part unless our INSCRIPTIONS oppO-
nents force us to it by reorganizing their
loyal league clubs and 'reviving race preju-
dices,' but it warns the white-skinned Or
ganizers of such clubs to cease their efforts
before it is too late. 1t remarks that this
game was tried in Yazoo county, but the
white people soon put a stop to it, and con-
cludes by declaring that we want peace, and
we are going to have it if we have to fight
for it, This kind of tactics may serve to
elect Democrats in Mississippi, but the Re-
publicans couldn't ask better campaign doc
uments for circulation in the close Northern
States that are to decide the next Presiden-
tial election"
DETROIT Post: "The Free Press quotes
remark from the Bangor Commercial that
prejudice exists in the public mind against
junketing at the public expense And that
reminds us of the Wright House committee,
which has goLe ON three months junket-
ing tour at the public expense, clear across
the continent, under pretense of hunting for
a spot which will serve as hard times speci-
men; also of the House committee now
junketing at the public expense in Cincin-
n att, pretending to be investigating an cleo
ton; also of the Senate committee now
junketing at the public expense at the best
hotels in New York and Rhode Island, pre-
tending tobe investigating the United States
election business; also of other Confederate
Democratic Congressional summer junket-
ing tours at the public expense. True
enough, there is a prejudice in the public
mind against such things"

At this season, when music teachers, choir lead
ers &C., &C., are quietly making up their minds
as to the best books for use during the COM
ing musical season. it is pleasure to introduce to
their notice fresh, good and useful book as this
one by w. o. PERKINS, who now, by the act of
Hamilton College, takes on the well deserved title
of Musical Doctor. From the elegant title to the
last page the space is most acceptably filled.
The Elementary Course is ample in quantity and
has numerous new tunes for practice, which prac-
tice. indeed, may extend over the whole book.
Abundance of good Sacred Music, in the form Of
Metrcal Tunes and Anthems fills large proportion
of the book, and renders it a good Collection Of
Church Music.
The numerous Glees and Harmonized songs add
to the attraction, and make this an excellent work
for Musical Societies and Conventions.
