eject them to Office. ..3.,s h~
UNLESS the Democratic party organ-
ICES aud dominates every officer from
Constable TO Senator, we expect to be
beat by the Radicals.
For the Starkvill District DR.. J. L.
Crigler has been nominated for State
Senator over DR.. ]. s. Montgomery and
Col. Thos. j. Woods.
We have no objection to Radicals
loing the Democratic party. but they
cant expect to be elected to Office inns
medately after baptism.
THE Board of Supervisors of Bolivar
county have raised the retail liquor
Ecens from 5000 to 81 1000. They
want to get the county out of debt.
PRINCE JEROME, the recently declared
head of the Bonapartlst cause, will
meet considerable disfavor, if not abso-
Lutte opposition, in his own party.
THE Radical party is not asleep, and
only awaits the proper time to sweep
down on the disorganized Democratic
party and capture the best Offices.
OWING to low water the United
States Steamer Wauchusett, was com
PEELED to return to New Orleans, where
she is now enlisting boys for the Navy.

SENATOR PLUMB, of Kansas, and ex-
Senator Dorsey, of Arkansas, have cast
their lot with Leadvi}le, the new Eldor-
ado. The latter is said to have made
$500, 900 by a recent rise in stocks.
The Radical party made all offices
"politlcal," aud there is no reason why

should be more liberal. Put zone but
Democrats on guard.
MEMPHIS has scattered the fever all
over the North. Several cases are now
reported at Louisville, st. Louis, Gin
ninnati, Philadelphia, New York and
other places. A rigid quarantine is the
only protection. &
In other districts nominations ara be-
ing made for District Attorney as well
as other Offices, and the Democrats of
this district ought to nominate for that
office. There is danger in an open
field and fair race.
Now that Mr.. Davis is out of the
Senatorial, race, Maj. Barksdale seems
to be solid in South Mississippi. He
is a good man for the high Office, and
the man that beats him, if any M
can, will be the United States Senator.
THERE is no doubt but the negroes
and white Radicals are secretly organic
ing to capture the offices in counties
where the Democratic party fails to Or
ganize and nominate, and it would teach
us a good lesson if they were successful
in this section.
The LEDGER is . Democratic paper;
1t advocates the nomination and cleo

to fight it out on this line. Others
may do ns they please. but the man that

better than a Radical.

THE Cincinnati Commercial gloats
oyer the fact that the law authorizing
marshals at the polls stands. and there
ia nothing to prevent them from serving
without pay. Ii they are willing t.
serve for pure ~cussedness, an additlona
,easop is afforded why the law authorlz
ing their unconstitutional employment
should be repealed.
BRUCE the darkey, who was sent u
the United States Senate by tn
Radical Legislature, will probably =
his own successor, unless the VARIOUS
counties in the State nominate and sSno
Democrats, pure and unadulteratea' &c
the Legislature. The county tina ia''s
10 nominate will but once regret as &C
tior. and that will be always.
