THE TRUE METAL.

We hope every true democrat and con-
seryatiye win vote the entire ticket. The
editor OF the AdraRoe was defeated Tor cir
cult clerk by ten majority and desires 1t to
be understood that he will cheerfully sup
port the nominee for every office. We re-
turn our sincere thanks to those who voted
for us. aud have no malice toward those
who voted against us. We have never
failed in the past to support and work for
the nominees of our party, and expect TO
do so in the future. Our personal de-
feat makes no difference with us when the
interest of the noble party TO which We
have devoted our whole life is at stake.
This is what Col. b. Il. Jones,
editor of the Winona Advance, says
after the result of the primary cleo.
ton has been declared. He was q
candidate for circuit clerk, received
a large vote, and was defeated by
only ten votes, but as a good and
true man to his party he urges all
men to vote for the nominee, and
announces his willingness to work
for the success of the party.
The editorial fraternity are being
terribly slaughtered in the pending
canvass, and so far as heard from
only a few have been nomi-
nsted, yet we are rejoiced to know
that, in most cases, our quill driv-
ers have readily bowed to the fat
of the people and expressed a
willingness to ~cheerfully support
the nominees of the party and
work to secure victory in the con-
test. All this is but an evidence
of the kind of material our edito-
rial c~onfrcres are composed Of
men who are ever willing to sacri-
fee their personal interests for the
success of the only party in Missis-
sippi that has economically and
honestly administered public affairs
since the war between the States.
There are yet some of our brethren
before the public seeking nomina-
tons at the hands of thepeople, and
we believe, in the event they are
defeated. they will readily assent
to the decree of fate, and return to
their labors in the sanctum and
proclaim their allegiance to the
party by supporting the nominees
and urging all others to do like
wise.

STATE CANVASS.
Circular of the State Executive
Committee Of the Democrat'c-
COnservatc Party.
JACKSON, Miss, August 4th, 1879.

JACKSON, Miss, August 4th, 1879.
The State executive committee
earnestly advise the democratic.
conservative party in Mississippi
to organize clubs in tue different
voting districts, and county execu-
five committees 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 o.
feet an organization.
In each county there should be a
central committee with a char
man, convenient to the county seat
and recommended for his zeal and
executive ability. County COM
mittees can be chosen by represen-
tative of the clubs in q general coun'
ty meeting.
The clubs should hold regular
meetings and provide measures for
challenging doubtful voters, reyls'
ing the registration and securing
and active canvass, so as to devel-
Cd the full strength of the party
in the election, providing tickets,
etc. They should make regular
reports to the county committees
as to membership, progress, ana
other matters appertaining to the
canvass and the comfy commit
tees are requested to report to the
State committee.
Experience shows that the sue
cess of a canvass depends mainly
upon the efficiency of the local or
carnations, and too much care can.
not be taken to keep them in good
working order.
Relieved from the menace OF or.
ganized opposition, majorities are
liable to become Indifferent to the
maintenance of their own organiza-
ton, and to divide among them.
selves. 1t should be remembered
that the reforms which have been
inaugurated can be perfected land
carried out only by a rigid adher'
ence to the discipline and obser-
vance of the methods by which the
victories of 1875, '76, and III were
won. II. BARkSDALE.

A F4LSEHOOU.
WISE.

n is authoritatively stated that Mr..
Jeanette, an alderman of the city of Gal
weston, who had occasion to visit East
Pascagoula, was required to pay ~ Oh Tor
a certificate which would enable him to
enter the city of Mobile. Those practices,
the report is, have been bitterly denounced,
and are exciting widespread disgust
throughout the country.-N. o. Times, oth.
The above is a lie out the whole
cloth, it matters not upon what au-
thority the Times gained its infor-
nation. We make this assertion
without fear of contradiction, as we
can prove it by several nnlmpeach-
able witnesses. The circumstances
connected with the affair are as
follows: Mr.. r. Jeanette left tins
place about a week since for Gal
weston, via st. Louis. Before leaV'
ing it became necessary for him to
obtain a certificate from DR.. Il. f.
Griffin, president of our board OF
health, certifying that he had not
been in an infected place within
fifteen days, in order that he might
get through. The certificate was
given Mr.. Jeanette by DR.. Griffin
free of all charges. 1t was suggest
ed by some one to Mr.. jeanette that
perhaps he had better have the
seal Of the cour ty clerk attached,
certifying to the authenticity OF the
certificate, as he was going to travel
a long distance, and the county
clerks seal would show conclusive
" that the document came from
the proper health officer. For CIV
ing his certificate and attaching the
seal of the county the deputy clerk
Mr.. Horace Bloomfield, charged MI.
Jeanette fifty cents, which Mr.. >.
paid MIR. Bloomfield. This is ex'
actly the truth of the matter, and
if necessary we can obtain the depu-
ty clerks affidavit 10 substantiate
what we say.

WE have often heard it said that
the cold water poem, "The Old
Oaken Bucket" was inspired by a
glass of brandy, but could hardly
see how it was, but a writer in the
Boston Herald confirms the story,
and tells it as a personal reminis-
cence. Samuel Woodwork, the au-
thor, was a printer, and was EN-
ployed in an office in Chambers
street, New York. One day he
dropped into Mallory's bar-room, in
Franklin street, to get some brandy
and water. The liquor was what
drinkers call excellent aud Wood
worth remarked that it was supe-
rior to anything he ever tasted.
"No,n said a comrade, there was
one thing that you and l used 10
think far surpassed this in the way
of drinking" What was that y
asked Woodwork, obviously.
/" Fresh spring water that we used
to drink from the old oaken bucket
that hung in the well, after our
return from the hay field on a sui
try day in the summer" The
rhythm of the phrase, "The old
oaken bucket that hung in the
well,n struck Woodwork at once,
and the picture of the we'll at bis
boyhood home came 10 his mlnd.
