PEoToNE, November 8, 1879.

To lie Editor Of The Eagle:
Election being over, so been think
ing To write a few items that occurred
on that day. The day was very fine, all
that auN man could desire for so fine
defeat of our political opponents. !
think those lucky boys are TO be con-
graduated for such maorities as they
received. hope they will accept the
congratulations of their friends. be-
licyc that the citizens of this county
have very finely endorsed the services
of Messrs. John Tucker, Ed. Dorsey,
and c. S. Caldwell. But left my sub
iect and | better resume 1t.
There was no lack of an organization
of board. for almost every one had his
man selected. can assure you there
were some disappointed persons that
did not get on the board, and | think it
is too bad that orr Legislature does not
pass an nc, which would employ every
man As Il Judge or clerk on our elections.
When | yentured TO step out of doors
came across an instrument which
looked rather dangerous, but mine anX-
icty was soon put TO rest by being told
it was nothing more than a patent post
for which Mr.. w. Ii. Graham is agent.
am compelled TO own up that Viola
township who denies the Dixon and
Barks,lale case. of Yazoo City. For the
benefit of that man and others who are
likc-miiidcd | will respectfully refer
them TO the Nicksburg, Miss, Herald,
of the 29ih of August. and the weekly
st. Louis Post d. Dispatch of September
the llth. Both are Democratic papers.
There he will find an article of which is
a caption. Mrs. Dixon speaks The
latter paper was handed to me after
wards by prominent Democrat who
chilled my attention to the same letter
on account of some remarks L. IL. Wall
made al our school house on the even
inp of the 2Sth of October. The cppo-
si,ion cannot very well practice here
their southern policy, but they have
here what is called Il bogus ticket which
is generally used TO deceive persons and
if is mine honest expression that any
man who will allow his name To he used
in that shape for the purpose to secure
the election TO Il office. is not fit TO be
trusted by The citizens of any respect
able community. And such tickets
were out u, this last election. | have
noticed n certain brother Democrat vote
the Republican ticket straight, without
any scratch. and he did not use the bo-
Gus one either. Ii hurts the Dems.
/ Some of our Grcenbackcrs. ali.
should say the fellows that are to expire
in 1880 according 10 Dofilemire. were
out in full force. arguing their point.
They claim they want more money. l
have not got the slightest doubt about
il. for who is il that does not want il
He must be curious kind of crltter.
But their mode OF the government to
furnish that money is what no reason
able man can approve of. According
TO the specimen | have seen on the
heading OF their leading papers l can
not see how any honest man can advo-
cate such principle. They claim II TO
be legal tender. TO pay all debts. etc,
but they do no, say we give YOU its face
yalue. but we refund or renew it for
YOU and use your capital without Civ
ing You your own.
! 1t seems TO me evident that certain
man in this township was not boarded
several DAYS in the city when he came
there. and when he left was not fur
lnished with all the tobacco he could
carry home with him. by one of the can
didates. for he recommended all on the
ticket except that one candidate. In
the future our candidates for office
please see 10 il that this man is well
supplied.
There is petition in circulation TO
enlarge our school district by adding
one mile strip ON the south. BY the way
