staIwart Kinds to the Front !

Kinds county must move to the front
She will not be outdone by Yazoo. She
has not forgotten that the blood of her
sons was poured out upon the hills OF
Clinton to make a Radical holiday
that for the benefit of the whole State,
she curbed her wrath and submitted 10
the marching and counter-marching OF
Ames black-line militia-that when
other counties spewed out the thieying
gangs, that infested them-she was
compelled to receive the refugees from
avenging justice under her protecting
wings for the same holy purpose--that
when she was giving her means with
lavish hand to every other county which
asked for assistance, and sending her
sons wherever they were called, from
the Tennessee line to the Gulf. to pro-
claim the joyous tidings Of a redeemed
State, she yet retained enough OF energy
and determination to trample under
foot the aliens and their allies, and
rolled up 1900 majority for the State
ticket in 1875. She remembers that it /
was under the banner Of the Democratic
Conservative party, this glorious end /
was achieved. She knows that every /
member Of the gang that infested the
State, and those who were their allies,
who remained within her borders
are alders and abettors Of the soreheads.
and earnestly seek through the instru-
mentality, Of a so-called Independent
Freenback ticket, to wreak vengence
Ipon the party that drove them from
power. She does not intend that they
hall be gratified. She will stamp out !
he last vestige Of their hopes. She will t
move in solid phalanx, under the ban i
er OF the Democratic party, to the polls i
n November next. She calls upon her b
ons to close up the ranks. She bids a
hem step over the few deserters, and :,
tragglers, who mayFtop by the wayside, n
ee6ing seats and soft PLACES elsewhere. y
he is confident her gallant sons will re b
pond. She wants Il full attendance at "
aymond on July 4th. She demands that tt
good ticket be nominated Every o.,
hing for the cause-nothing for men. "a
he will re-echo the boom that comes n
ross the Big Black from Yazoo, and in
i'll fire a second gun in the campaign ,
uder than the thunder which comes eff
Hing over the border from the banner Oh
unity" q
Men Of stalwart Kinds, come to the
mt on Friday, the 4th. Let the Con- III
ntion be rousing one, and give to -
Cd ticket, glorious send off. Il

came to town last Wednesday TO witness tbs
proceedings OF the County Democratic Nom;-

authoFity.-fazoo City Herald.
This is the way the Democrats of
1azoo City received the delegates and
attendants at their County Convention
on the 18th |; and this the spirit with
which they have opened the ball in the
Banner County. There is no reason to
fear defeat in contest inaugurated
with the determination thus evinced to
succeed The people are desperately
resolved; and they mean that the
county shall not be plunged again into
the slough of Radicalism under an
alias.

On our first page, will be found s
correct report of the speech delivered to
the Press Convention by Hon. Jefferson
Davis, and on another page will be
Hound an ironical sketch of what he
might have said, but didn't. The suq-
gestion that his inpromptu and wholly
unexpected address was delivered with
n view to Interior political aims. is
simply preposterous to all who know
Jefferson Davis. In addition to what is
said in the extract here copied from the
Seashore Gazette, the writer of this will
say what he positively knows. that the
address of Mr.. Davis, which thrilled his
audience, and has met so universal a
response from the people of Mississippi.
was called forth by the occasion with no
thought before hand that he would be
expected to speak:
The invitation was 10 take mar, i, a., ~,,,,
sion to the islands-not to address the AsSo-
ciatlon: When MIR. Davis left his home. after
eight O'Clock of the evening. it was vr;,bont
any idea OF finding the Association in session
or OF having to make public address The
excursion OF the next morning was the oh
jective point of the visit When, on arrival
at Paseagoula, he was met by SO unexpected
and so enthusiastic a welcome, he replied in
terms which struck responsive chord in the
hearts of all his hearers. Their Spontaneous
Outpour of reclamation proved whether his
sentiments were in accord with their own ar
not. There have been some imperfect and
inaccurate accounts of the speech, but a cor
rect and authentic report has been given by |
the two seacoast papers, and there Is not |
word IN it-altogether impromptu as it was
was improper. intemnerate |
ill-timed, or unworthy of the occasion, the /
speaker, or the audience.

HE Judicial expense bill which the
President vetoed on the ground that it
expressly refused pay to special Deputy
Marshals ''to keep the peace at the
polls" wiz; to control elections under
pretence Of keeping the peace contained
a provision repeating the jurors test
oaths in the United States Courts. As
the President does not refer to this
clause and states no objection to the
provision for securing impartial iuries,
1t has been inferred that he would sign
bill containing the last two provisions
without the former.

Mr.. GEoGEM. robson, Gen. Grants
Secretary of the Navy, emphatical-
ly denies the story Of Gen. Woodford,
that it was Gen. Grants intention to
kidnap Mr.. Tilden in a certain event,
and that he (Woodford) had been Sc
lected as the hero of the marvellous add
venture. There is a lie between these
two distinguished personages, Woodford
and Robson, and the impression is
that either is capable of telling it,
