NEXT TO SINGLETON.
In the first place Walthall is a
bigger man than BarksdaIe, and
then he is head and shoulders ahead
in this Senatorial race. Walthall
is an able man, and next to Singles
ton he would be our chOice.-I6d.
NO DESPERATE RESISTANCE.
Gen. Walthall has written letter
in which he intimates very plainly
that he will make no desperate re-
sistance in the event of an attempt
to force him in the matter of the U.
s. Senatorship. We don't think
there is any occasion for the Gen.
eral becoming alarmed, as there is
not the slightest indication in these
parts that such an attempt will be
made.-Corinth Record.
EXCEPT LOWRY.
Nor in these parts, either. South
and East Mississippi is solid for
Barksdale, the man who did more
than any other man in the State,
except General Lowry, to drive the
carpctbaggers in disgrace from our
State.-ErandOn Republican.
"NoT so DARNED UNANIMOUS
Several of our exchanges have
paragraphs to the effect that Gems
trail and Southern Mississippi favor
Hon. Z. Barks,lale for the United
States Senate. We are not aware
of the source from which they
obtain their infOrmation.-Sum
Times.
THE WOODS ARE FULL OF 'EM.
Mr.. Barksdale may be the David
that slew the Goliath of Radicalism
in this State, in the opinions of his
organs, but the people will repudi>
ate this view of the case. There
were many Davids and numerous
Goliaths.-N cksburg Herald.
AT LAST.
We are glad 10 see Gen. Walthall
at last evince disposition to do
his PEOPLE political service. During
the days when RadicaIism cast its
baleful shadow over our fair State,
and when Singleton, Barksdale,
George, Lowery and host of other
kindred spirits were making a gall
liant struggle to redeem Mississippi,
1t was with surprise and regret that
we marked the absence of Walthall's
plume from the van of the fight. -
Carthageniaa.
HE WAS THAR.
This is all you know about it.
Gen. Walthall found plenty of
work to do here at home, and in
surrounding counties, and did it,
without Ostentation or hope of re-
ward. From the day that he hurled
Sheridan from the stand, in the
presence of 500 Radicals and 200
Federal soldiers, and called Sheri-
dams speech tissue of lies, until
the State was lifted to the dignity
of free commonwealth by tie
united efforts of all good men, there
was no truer, more earnest, or more
active defender of her liberties, than
Gen. Walthall. He did not go any
distance from home, for he was not
looking for preferlnent, but here
found all that his head, his hands
and his means could stand, and to
our knowledge, all these agencies
were some times fully taxed. Be
inst. though the heavens fall.-Gre
NADIA Sentinel.
A LITTLE RILED.
Leake county rescinded a resOlu>
ton instructing for Col. Singleton.
just because they were informed
that an aspirant to the U. s. Sena
torship from Hlnds proposed to ad>
dress them, and this was done
solely through courtesy to the gem
tleman from Kinds. Kinds county,
the VIcksburg Herald tells us, re-
jected a candidate for the Legisla-
ture solely because he favors Col.
Singleton for United States Sena
tor! When the people in those
counties which are strong for Sim
gleton desire to raise the Senatorial
question, it is objected to as an
"eXtraneOus ISSUE" and the agita
ton of it denounced as calculated to
disturb the harmony of the party.
We have not seen the action of the
Kinds county Democracy criticised.
