county, and requested him to retire
from the canvass. This he at first
refused to do, giving reasons for the
ground of his refusal, which were
not deemed satisfactory to the great
assembly of earnest. determined men
He finally, however, decided to
quit the canvass now and forever, as
the following card viii! show, so the
political canvass in this county NAV
be considered at an end. The dem.
ocratic flag now waves over this gh"-
rious old county, uncontaminated
and unchallerged; and long may it
wave
s'To THE PUBLIC.
"For the sake of the peace and
harmony of the county, and the af
fection l bear for my family and
friends, agree to withdraw from
the political canvass or race issue in
the future, provided, l will be pro-
tected in my rights as any other ciii-
zen; and my friend, R. A. Flanna,
gan, is to be unmolested in his
rights, &c.
H. NJ. DIXON,
Yazoo city, July rs, 1879"
And so the political canvass in
that county may be considered at an
end and the democratic flag waves
uncontaminated and unchallenged.
The votes are cast, counted and de-
clared three months in advance Of
the date Of election and the 1000
Republican majority in Yazoo coun'
~ will by their Democratic represen-
tatives in the Mississippi legislature
vote for jeff Davis for u. S. Sena-
tor.
This is one Of the steps of prepara'
ton for the second rebellion to be
naugurated after the next Presiden-
tial election in an attempt by force
to install the Democratic candidate
in the Presidential Office, with the
stop thief cry Of force and fraud for
a pretext. This is undoubtedly the
programme OF the unrepentent rebels
who rule the Democratic party, and
who at the last session of Congress
boasted of their treason and declared
that their sentiments are now just
what they were when they began
their rebellion in 1861. And North
ern doughfaces in the Democratic
party are as subservient to their
Southern masters as they We're be.
fore the rebellion.
Now comes plan for building
railway across the lstbmus, in place
Of digging canal. The road is to be
of capacity to carry loaded vessels.
Capt. Eads, of the Mississippi jetties,
originates the schemes and will ask
the government for a force Of engi-
neers to examine into it. LEO.

BEFORE THE MAYOR.

This morning, Edward Conwell of
Philadelphia, who had been found drunk
was given IS hours to get out of town.
Dennis Daily was fined one dollar
and required to pay costs for disorderly
conduct.
Frank Kelly alias Bill Kipp
was arraigned for drunkenness and
disorderly condact in the house of Geo.
Wingate, at Fourteenth and Claymont
streets. The trouble appears to have
leen caused by jealousy on part of Win
gate, caused by reported questionable
conduct between his wife and Kelly.
He was fined fifty cents and held for
costs.
Mary Wingate, wife OF the pla ntiff, in
the above case, and Annie Black, .
cousin of Mary, were arraigned next, the
latter for being drunk and disorderly in

A SMALLFORGERY

Two or three days ago, q man walked
into the Farmers Bank, and going to
the desk did SEINE writing. Alter he
had finished his task, he left without
vonchsaHng any explanation in regard
to his actions.
In q short time afterwards officer
Thomas called Vt the bank, and present
ed u check for twenty dollars, purport-
ing to have been signed by the Trump
Manufacturing Company, and asked If
was good. Being informed that 1t was a
forgery, the officer stated that a man had
called on the Indian doctor, nMarket st.
below Front, and presented the check
to him and asked him to cash It. The
Doctor complied with the request. and
the man left, and going to the p. w. x.
B. X. r. depot boarded one Of the north
bound trains.
The superstition is, that the man who
stopped III the bank Is the one who torg-
Cd the check, but unfortunately he is un-
known to the bank officers.

The Art of Going Away.

It has been said that one of the most
import social accomplishments is that Of
entering room gracefully, but to our
mind that of leaving one easily and
judiciously is to be preferred. It is pain
full to see people anxious to beat retreat
from call or visit, and yet apparently
as unable to escape as rats in trap, al
though nothing bars their egress, and all
the persons concerned would gladly dis
pense with their company. The art of
science of departure, both from localities
and positions, is worth studying in great
as we'll as little matters. TO under
stand when to bring to an end a morning
call or public career requires, in lesser
or greater degree, the exercise of the same
faculty. No visitor is likely to be popu-
lar who has not the tact to leave at the
proper time house at which he may be
staying. One Of the greatest difficulties
in bidding farewell to host is to convey
to him the impression that you have en-
joyed yourself. Expressions Of thank:
for a pleasant visit are apt to have &
stereotyped and conventional ring about
them. a hospitable man likes to know
that his friends have been happy; bu
when each Of them mutters sort of little
grace on his departure, he feels that they
are but paying him an ordinary socia
compliment.
