The Four Principal Quarantine Sta.
lions in Mississippi.

The Vicksburg Commercial is in
formed by DIR. Rice, President of the
State Board of Health, that the result
of a conference with Dr. Bemiss,
member of the National Board of Health,
with supervising powers over the States
of Louisiana and Mississippi, is decis-
ion to establish four quarantine stations
in Mississippi The locations determined
on for these four stations are as follows !:
One in the neighborhood of Fort Adams
one near the northern boundary of our
State on the Mississippi river one at
Osyka, and fourth in Benton county

leans railroad.
DIR. Rice has called a meeting of the
State Board, to take place AT jackson

Qarantine as to Freights.

Manager Jas. c. Clarke, has issued a
circular to county, municipal and health
authorities, suggesting that quarantine
restrictions should be agreed upon, so
as to have uniformity. In this connec-
ton, We suggest TO the President of the
State Beard of Health the propriety of
indicating such articles as may with
safely be admitted from infected points
Local authorities would generally ac-
cept his classification, and thus save
Railroads unnecessary annoyance, and
the community great inconvenience and
expense.

SHOULD the yellow fever unfortunately visit
Kinds County, the Democratic party will at
once adjourn to the mountains of Virginia
and Tennessee. A part of the glorious old
party has already adjourned for these loeali-
ties.-Independent.
What is meant by this remark? During
the last epidemic, every active MEM
Der of the Howard Association, who re-
manned to take care of the sick, feed
the hungry and clothe the naked, was
a Democrat except Hon. John McGill,
our able and excellent Mayor, who it
must be said to his honor, stood to his
post The present Democratic candi-
date for State Senator, Col. J. d. Stew
art, was President of the Association,
and his good works as a christian and
philantropist viii live after him. The
Secretary of the Howards, Maj. Wall, is
the Democratic Commissioners of Immi-
grafton; the Treasurer, J. J.. Power,
is another member of the s'glorious old
party; the Directors, Messrs. Thomas
E. Helm, E. Barksdale and G. ID. Sid
way are members of 1T also; and so
were the physicians who labored faith
fully and with self-daHial in the same
cause. The Association is still organ
lied for the same campaign against the
fever 'should it unfortunately visit
Kinds county"

position, unless in reviewing my official record
you can say that have been honest, compe-
tent and faithful. If it should be considered
that our common interest would he promoted

duty that may devolve upon me. If other
wise, no one viii acquiesce more cheerfuIly
than Your Fellow Citizen.

The Farmers and Working Men of
Lauderdale County.

In Lauderdale Farmers and Working
Mems Clubs have been organized, and
they have established central county
organization, with an Executive Com
mittee which has been instructed to
cooperate with the Democratic County
Executive Committee. A day has been
appointed for general meeting of these
county clubs to designate candidates to
be voted for at the primary election
ordered by the Democratic County
Convention. They will make selections
from the candidates already in the
field, or designate new ones, in whole or
in part, as they may deem best. They
will take part in the primary election
appointed by the constituted authorities
of the Democracy, and will abide the
result as good Democrats ought to do
Consequently no harm will result to the
Democratic organization; nor will its
principles be put in jeopardy. The
farmers and workingmen Of Lauderdale
are wise enough to know that separate
organization in the election would ope-
rate injuriOusly to the best interests of
the State, and they are too patriotic to
embark in such u suicidal undertaking.

Rules from the Auditors Office.

There is originality and progressive
ness in the administration of the Au-
ditor's office, as was evidenced last
spring by the circular in relation to
Land Assessments" and as is now made
more apparent by the pamphlet of Rules,
just issued.
The Assessment Circular did not
merely refer to the sections of the law,
but laid down briefly and clearly the
principles which should govern in asses
sing lands.
1t will make its mark upon the Land
Rolls of this year, and will probably
give shape to future legislation. The
pamphlet is entitled .sRules for the col
lection of land taxes, for tax sales, and
Sherifs' settlements" and is designed to
perfect tax titles, and to inaugurate a
uniform system for the collection Of the
public revenue. 1t will be valuable to
tax collectors. The rules will be print
ed in our columns for general circula-
ton, next week.

Warren County One Thing
NeedfuI

A discussion is going on in Warren as
to the wisest course that can be pursued
in the coming elections. If they will
allow us, we will submit suggestion.
1t is to re-organize the Democratic-Con-
sentative party of the county, and make
regular nominations for the various
county offices, There is no party so well
qualified to bring order out of chaos as
the Democratic party. The tree must
be Judged by its fruits Tested by this
rule, it comes up to the full measure of
excellence. 1t is precisely the thing for
the occasion. 1t was through this or
ganizatiOn that the county was redeemed
in 1875. In the subsequent elections it
has been maintained. Why should it
be abandoned now? Do not the same
motives of action still exist? Its prin-
ciples are eternal; why should the or
ganization necessary to give them form
and vitality be lost? Where is the
chairman of the Democratic Executive
Committee of Warren that he does not
call it together and organize for the
election?

THE STATE CANVASS.
Circular Of The State Executive Come
mittee Of The Democraflc-Con-
serVatfVe Party.
JACKSON. Miss. August 4th. 1879

JACKSON, Miss, August 4th, 1879.
The State Executive COMMITTEES earnestly
advises the Democratic-C Conservative party in
Mississippi To organize Clubs in the different
voting districts, and County Executive Com
mittees, without delay, where they have not
already done so. Upon proper notice, the
voters can be called at some convenient place
and time and proceed TO effect an organi-
cation.
In each county there should be Central
Committee, with a Chairman, convenient to
the county seat, and recommended for his zeal
and executive ability. County Committees
can be chosen by representatives of the Clubs
in general county meeting.
The Clubs should hold regular meetings and
provide measures for challenging doubtful vo-
ters, revising the registration and securing an
active Canvass, so as to deveIope the full
strength of the party in the election, provid-
ing tickets, etc They should make regular
reports TO the County Committees as to mem
bership, progress, and other matters apper-
tanning to the canvass; and the County Com
mittees requested to report to the State
Committee.
Experience shows that the success of a can
vass depends mainly upon the efficiency OF
the local organizations, and too much care
cannot be taken to keep them in good working
order.
Relieved from the menace of organized op-
position, majorities are liable to become in
different to the maintenance of their own
ganization, and to divide among themselves.
1t should be remembered that the reforms
which have been inaugurated can be perfect
ed and carried out only by rigid adherence to
the discipline and Observance of the methods
by which the victories of 1875, '76, and IT
were won.

WE hear that peace still prevails in
Yazoo. The determination Of the citi-
zens Of that county not to permit
another race war to be inaugurated in
their midst for the benefit Of self-seekers,
has had good effect 1t was the ounce
of prevention that was worth a pound
of cure. We apprehend that the same
desperate plot that had been developed
and squelched in Yazoo is cropping out
in some other counties.

The Way to Talk It.
Corinth Record

Corlnth Record
The Democracy of YaZoo have cleared the
decks foF action. The hydra head OF Radical
ism rose to the surface too early TO again fas-
ten its venomous fangs on her people. The
gossamer web of Independents and Greenback
ers was too thin to conceal the terrible monster
from the scrutinizing gaze of people who
have suffered too long and fearfully from Rad
zeal oppression, thievery and domination.
The people of Y aZoo wise aZoo are wise
in time-they have crushed the monster be-
fore he could accomplish his fell designs upon
them-befOre his anaconda coils should be
drawn too tightly to extricate themselves from
els deadly grip. Our people are beginning to
realize in earnest that the inauguration of
the independence reeRback movement is
nothing but the reorganization the worst type
of the Radical party,
Ut will be borne in mind that the up
rising in Yazoo was purely defensive
movement against an attempt to organ
ize the color line-against conspiracy
against the peace and good order of So
ciety. 1t was an exceptional case that
required an exceptionally desperate
remedy. 1t is for the same clan of
strife-breedeFs to say whether a similar
remedy shall be applied In other coun-
ties. The white and the colored De-
mocracy want peace. They intend to
have peace.)

A Word In Season.

Let the colored people beware of
ofice-seekers who are endeavoring to
array them against the great mass of
the white people in order that they may
sail into office upon another sea of strife.
They cannot forget the past. The
colored people will in the end be the
heaviest sufferers. The office-seekers
will escape unframed in the smoke of
the flames they have kindled and leave
them to take the consequences.

THE general remon etization of silver
in Europe is now only a question of
time. Meanwhile it is possible that an
international coinage system may be
established for convenience sake, having
for its basis silver coin of standard
valuation the world over. The United
States led off in the reconciliation
movement and must not be retarded
by the hesitating policy of other coun-
tries. We must have policy of our
own and stick to it.
