! in Lowndes may be anticipated upon the polit
| zeal slate at this election. The Democracy are
unanimous If there is any opposition, il has
not yet appeared in organized FORM and We
| know of its existence in particles only by a
| little swearing occasionally upon the part OF A
sore-head, an independent, IA Greenbacker OF
a Sand Lot aspirant. The Democratic party
has many sins to answer for, but in comparison
with the crime of seeking at this time to divide
1.-THE Solid South" (the only hope of the Union
now these sins but the imperceptible
specks upon the ermine of Marshall or a
fancy. You can swear that almost without
exception the Greenback leaders are either
Radicals, defeated candidates, or ambitious
othce-seekers, with an occasional honest man
who wants Reform and thinks the dominant
party too slow in securing it. Communities
are like the twelve honest jurvmen"-thev
hardly ever agree. Our Greenback friends
remind one of certain foreman whom the
Judge asked if the jury had decided upon a
verdict?
mo, your Honor, We haven't. Ihave made
up my verdict, but here are eleven of the
contrariest devils | ever had anything TO do
with, so it's deadlock between us.
THE FALL FIGHTS
opened here yesterday being inaugurated by
two OF our most prominent and influential citi-
zens. 1t was about politics, too resulting in one
of the disputants receiving a severe cut with a
knife near the jugular vein, the other consider
bly, pummeled about the eyes In this depart
ment of human thoughts, as in religion and
everything else, Orthodoxy is my doxy, and
heterodoxy is your doxy," and while such a
bulldozing, bloody-shirtish, inf1ammable, and
volcanic spell of weather broods over the
American continent, the safest plan is to look
wise as an owl, and keep quiet, if you don't
want to get hurt.
THE MIGHTY EAST"
is booming with cotton coming in at pref
ty fair prices In this immediate vicinity
while a good many persons have the emigration
fever upon them, and some are actually getting
ready to go, | have not seen so much house
building and general repairing since the war.
For the nOnce, 'honors are easv'' between
Aberdeen and Columbus to the latest sensa-
ton: Aberdeen is Dragging about her Stock
Breeders forthcoming Fair, and Columbus her
splendid new cotton-seed oil mills under
operation. West Point is lively as a cricket
with trade and sociabiity, and like bad-paving
boarder, continues healthy" while Starkville
points proudly to the rising walls of her Agri-
cultural College, and still persists in producing
the finest butter between here and "Bosting"
IMMIGRATION
The foregoing paragraph reminds me to say
that an old citizen and family have Just returned
from Florida-land of oranges and heas fish
and mosquitoes, balmy breezes and brackishist
water-satisfed that this is a better State than
that to live in. The spirit of unrest pervades
the entire continent; it finds its origin in these
twenty years of Republican legislation and it
will not "fold its tents like the Arabs and as
silently steal away" until the party of cen
tralization and robbery is sunk deeper than
well, suppose say Purgatory.
Yours truly, HASH
Anger and jealousy can no more bear to
lose sight of their objects than love-
