American citizen. [volume] (Canton, Miss.) 1864-1890, 1879-09-20

FROM our exchanges VIC learn
that Col. Singleton won golden
opinions in his canvass in nOrth>
east Mississippi. From Barksdale's
list of appointments we see that he
is following closely in the track of
his competitor. We are glad to see
from the speeches of both, that their
rivalry in the contest for the high
position to which they aspire has
not developed the least personal
bitterness. This is a marked i'm
prOvement OH the contests for the
ScnatOrship in the olden tines
Columbus Democrat.
This is as 1t should be. Col.
Singleton and Maj. Barksdale are
not striving to disparage, but simply
to excel each other in the many
qualities BETTING Il Senator that
both are known to possess. Col
Singleton stands too high and too
lofty to be enviOus of any man;
while Maj. Barksdale's course in
this canvass has been marked by
the most chIvalrOus courtesy
toward his opponents, especially in
the columns of bis influential

THE Rev. KallOch carried the
custom OF blackening the character
of a political opponent too far, and
tried to blacilen the character of
bis relatives, and was III turn black
ened with powder smoke.
The above is taken from a North
ern Republican sheet, in another
column of which we fluid this, con-
corning the almost identically siml-
lar occurrence in YazOo City
1t is useless to talk Ofcivil liberty
or any other kind of liberty existing
in IL community where a man, III
hourly expectation of being lung
by mob, is compelled to sleep
with IL shotgun tor his bed-tellOw.
1t is the grimmest kind OF sarcasm.
Liberty exists in a more cnngenIal
cline. She is shy of men who know
no law but the impulses of Wild
beasts and regard no right but the
satistac' ion of their savage instincts.
She cannot endure the shrleks OF
him who fingers in mortal agony
with the buck shot of an assassin in
his body.
Verify, it makes a great difference
with these fellows whether Il homi-
cid e takes place in California or in
Mississippi. In illustration of this
difference the New Orleans Times
says:
when the Philadelphia papers got
the news of the shooting of Dixon,
the telegram was dated jackson,
Mich, and YazOo City, in the Same
State, was described as The place of
the tragedy. They had very little
70 say about the matter, of course.
The next day however, they got the
locality right, and then they went

are worth preserving.
There is no time to lose. Let the

True Democrats and Conserva-
tives will fOregO personal ambition
and sacrifice personal antipathies to
the public good. The chivalry of
party politics requires that the will
of the majority, as expressed by the
nominations, should be respected.
Where there are rival candidates,
when one has been fairly and hon
orably selected, the others should
feel bound in good faith to accept
the decision and do all i'll their pow

CRUELTY TO THE NEGROES
1.-THE sending Of any more South
ern negroes to Kansas at present
will not only he cruelty to them
but i, grievous burden TO the white
community" says Gov. St. John.
The man who now utters this sentl-
ment was one of the !Oudest advo>
Gates of the exodus, and his encour-
agement probably did as much as
all things else to promote it. His
sudden conversion o the opposite
view is most eloquent argument
against the whole movement. 1t
was founded Oh fraud, and the folly
of the victims has resulted in much
suffering. All the facts go to show
that Gov. St. John only tells the
truth when he says that the send
ing of any more negroes to Kansas
will be cruelty to them.

WE deprecate the conduct OF
one or two papers in sneering at
Mrs. ChisoIm's appearance in the
Kemper circuit court, and Mrs.
Dixon's published letter regarding
her husbands career and death.
There is hardly any man SO bad
that he canuot induce some good
woman to love him. Chisolm and
Dixon were kind and effectionatc
husbands. aud the grief and resent
ment of their widows is both natural
aud becoming--to them.

The Summit Times seems to lie
s'in a state of mind" for fear SIM
gleton or Barksdale will he our
next u. s. Senator. The 8. T. has
a dark house in its eye, whom 1t
proposes 70 bank on. This sombre
steed will never reach the quarter
post, and the race for the Senator
ship is four mile heat. None but
thOrOugbbretls can make it-no
chance for scrubs.
