1t is strange and uncomfortable that
a Democratic paper in Mississippi
should declare that our party was
withouta platform Of principles, and
consequently in danger Of chaos, con-
fusion and uncertainty in conducting
the present canvass in the State. Its
true, that the party has had no formu-
lated political creed, since the last State
convention several years ago, nor has
it needed one; for the principles, pur-
poses and duty, have been made plain
to every way iarcing man by the
heartless and villainous attacks upon
our section on the part of the whole
Radical press of the North by the
s!anderous utteranccs of their stump
speakers; by the bitter, vindictivc re-
solves of their public assemblics;by
enemies at home, in the shape ofdor-
mant, designing, malignant Republic
cans andsby that now evil, most de-
tcstable of opposing agencies, the
Grcenback party.
Never was there time in the hist0-
ry of political parties in these United
States, when the dividing lines were
more clearly defined, and the status OF
each organization better known than
now.
What else docs a good Democrat
want to know to make him faithful
unfaltering and true, than the plain
est rights of the States, and local self
government, are vigorously assailed
that the Constitution Of our fathers is
ignored and trampled upon; that
central government of the money pow
or of the North is to be substituted
for the reign of, the people; that an
other negro-carpetbag domination
OF the South is contemplated and 1
thousand other ills too numerous to
mention?
Finance, civil service reform, ant
other questions of special Significance
in politics, pale into utter Insignia
canoe, SO far as we of Miss, are con
cerned, compared with the great fac
that the South has not a friend in thu
Union outside ofthe great Democratic
party, and that our every interest ant
happiness as citizens of this great lie
) public depend upon its success
We are compelled to maintain sol
id Democratic party in the South
Our enemies North and South have
: forced us to it; and he who waivers
now, wanders off after strange God
or aids in supporting any other politi
! cal organization at this critical juno
turc, is manilestly AN enemy to hi
section and State, and should always
be treated Us such.

OUR NEW INDIAN WAR.
Causes of tho Ute 0utbreak-The
Same Old, Old Story.

/. The history of the Governments
treatment of the Uto Indians is the
old story of violation of faith on the
Governments part. In 1871, when the
San Juan fever broke out, and there
was arush for the mining region OF
Southwest Colorado, the Ute Indians
owned strip of the State extending
from the southern to the northern
boundary, and making in all about one
fifth of the State. The land was over
run in the wild hunt for hidden treas
urc.
The Indians waited for rccompensc
and 1872 O treaty was made with them
by which they cedcd part of lands
in the neighborhood of the mining re-
gions, just west of where Leadvillc Il
how situated. For this they were &c
git 100000 in annual payments. Th'
| treaty, in lis other stipulations was
made ironclad for their benefit; thu
strongest language was used TO pro
tcct them in their occupation of theil
lands yet remaining to them. There Il
hardly:a treaty in existence which give
the Indians such protection from Thu
from the whites rs does this one
Since that treaty was made not n dol
lar has been paid of the 100000, AM
their rightful lands have been freel.
occupied ny the whites.
While the immediate cause
Thornburgh's fight was about n BIT o
plowcd land, still the real provocatiol
was in the mining expeditions int
their reservations q few months age
which worked the Indians up to retail
iation and raised bad blood on bot
sides. The Utes, heretofore, have join
ed the whites in fighting hostilcs.--
The Chief, Ouray, lives Ill the south
ern part of the reservation, but he ha
sub Chiefs in the northern countr!
where the fighting has occurred. Yu
ray was educated in Mexican Mon
astery, and speaks several languages
AS a general thing, however, the Ute
do not take to civilizing influences
merely desiring to live their own kin
of life, free from mcddling interference

Last Thursday evening the 30th ult.,
the body OF Mr.. Sam Gilbert, of this
county, was found about seven miles
west of Dcsoto, pierced with twelve
buckshot. The appearances indicated
that he had been shot in the back,
some of the shot pcnctrated:the region
of the heart. Mr.. Gilbert was quiet,
iDoiiensivc young man and it could
hardly be surmised who committed
the cold-bloodcd deed. Mat Coleman,
colored has been arrested on suspi-
cion, and is now confined in Jail III

Blaine, Frye and Hale arc all now

Maine, which gave Hayes l6,O00maor-
ity, in 1876, has gone against their can
didate for Governor by over LOO ma

that way, 10000 majority for Ewing is

At the meeting of the Old Baptist

At present it would seem as if the
farmers of the Northwest were taking
the advice given them in the early
part OF the season viz mot to be in /;
hurry to send forward their wheat. =
so far rs prices arc concerned, the
farmers have it in their own hands,
says one wheat operator. Another
adds: "lfthc farmers hold back the
way they are doing they will dictate
price"
A large number of the leading
Southern journals arc oppose to The
nomination of Mr.. Tilden. This say,
Mobile Register, does not arise from
the fact that the people of this section
believes all the truinped up stories
that have been circulated about Mr.
Tildcn, but simply because they wisl
the strongest and the most available
candidate possible put forward, mt
they do not think that Mr.. Tildcn fill
these requirements.

Dodging A Debt.

On Tuesday last, United States Mar
shall Adams went to Mt Vernon, Ind,
with an execution authorizing him to
levy upon the personal property of the
city in satisfaction of a Judgment by
the Newark, N. j., Saving Institution
against the city for $65,000. lie was
not able, however, to aud any proper
tyliablo to seizure. In view of this,
steps were taken to procure writ of
mandanlus, compelling tho City Coun-
Gil to levy specil tax sufficient to pay
the claim. This fact becoming known,
q meeting of citizens was held, last
night, at which, under legal advice, 1t
was determined to abandon the city
government. The various members
OF tho council at once handed in writ
ten designations, TO take effect immedi-
atcly, and the Council sitting inspccial
session, promptly accepted the resig-
nation approved and signed the min
utes Of the meeting and dissolved,
leaving the place without any city
government whatever. There is great
speculation as 10 what the outcome
will be, but the people of Mt. Vernon
are confident that under the existing
order Of things nothing can be done
with the Newark claim.-- -AmerScdn.
