WOULD it not be well for the democrats
and conservatives in counties most expos
ed to aH epidemic in the ummer, to COM
plete their organization and get their can
dldates early in the field - Clarion.
We are decidedly of that opin-
ION, and think it advisable for all
the the coast counties to begin to
organize for active service by the
executive committees calling meet
ings aud determining how candi-
dates shall be placed in the field.
The executive committee OF Jack.
son county will meet Monday, the
9Th of April, and prepare for the
campaign. In this connection we
suggest that as many voters as
can well do so will attend this
meeting and give the committee
the benefit of their ideas as regards
the method of nominating csndi-
dates-whether it be a nominating
convention or primary election.

LLIBILITY or RAILROADS..

Some months since, says the
Pensacola AdraRc6, u suit for dam
ages, amounting to $4,000, was
Instituted by Paymaster York, of
the Pensacola navy yard, against
W. d. Chipley, Esq, as receiver of
the Pensacola and Louisville rail
road company. The case was heard
iii the United States circuit court
at Pensacola last Wednesday, and
occupied the whole day. The plain
tiff's charge was in substance that
through neglect oil the part of the
railroad company in providing the
proper accommodations for night
travel i'll the way of lights, gang
ways, ETC., he was caused to fall
while endeavoring to get aboard of
the train, from the platform to the
ground, the result of which was a
broken leg.
The plaintiff was ably represent.
ed by Gen. f. A. Perry, and the
defendant by r. L. Campbell, Esq.
At the conclusion of argument
Judge Settle read his charge to the
jury, which was terse and to the
point, and this body, after being
closeted little more than an hour,
returned a verdict in favor of plain.

Last weeks Grenada Sentinel

Last weeks Grenada Sentinel
spoils all the %notoriety OF the re-
nowned sewer of that city at one
fell stroke. The Sentinel says this
terrible sewer is nothing but a ma.
tural drain running through a por-
ton of the town, and was hardly
of sufficient Importance to be
noticed until it filed with dirt at
the crossing of one of the principal
streets causing an overflow of the
sidewalks during the raius. The
authorities had the dirt thrown out
the summer, and about the
time the fever broke out, but the
ditch or sewer as it was called, had
no more to do with causing yellow
fever than digging many other part
of Grenada would have done.

we learn that at a meeting of the

Monday it was resolved that the
banks OF the association resume
payment of checks on TUESDAY,,
which they did accordingly. All

NEW ORLEANS, March "a, 1877.
Editor Democrat-Star:
They have given MS a rest; not a
suicide, homicide or fratricide for
the last 4S hours-not even the
bursting of a bank to relieve the
m%onotony.
The all-absorbing topic of con
versation now is, what will the
coming convention do? Will they
ignore the State bonds or will they
provide for their payment? With
the present lights before me | am
inclined to believe they will be
consigned to the "Tomb of the
Capulets," never to be resurrectcd.
The State owes more than she can
or is willing to pay-obligations
conceived in fraud and brought
forth in iniquity. The city indcbt-
edness amounts to thirty-two mil
lions Of dollars. When and how is
it to be li%guidated The Shylocks
who own the bonds say "For
Gods sake! don't repudiate; it
will damn the fair %escutcheon of
our State and ruin her credit" The
holders OF these bonds purchased
them at a ruinOus discount and are
clamOrous for tull payment, dollar

the fruits of the theiving and ras-

they are insufficient, aud amount

The following upon the policy of
making no nominations for county
offices, from the Canton Mail, is
the sentiment expressed by every
democratic paper in Mississippi
with but two or three exceptions.
1t does not touch upon the subject
of h0W the nominations are to be
made, whether by conventions or
primary elections, as those matters
will be LETT to the people of each
county, but it is to the importance
of making nominations. In this
county, and in the other counties
adjacent, we believe, as far as we
have been able TO learn, the senti-
ment Of the people is to make nom
nations FOR the various offices, and
to oppose the plan of allowing
every candidate to run irrespective
OF party nomination. Upon the
denomination policy the Mail says:
If this policy is generally pursued in
the several counties of our State, it will
result i'll the handing over to our enemies
the fruits Of our victories of rs and 10.
10 make no nominations for county Offices
is virtually to surrender to u small rem
nant of carpetbaggers, and to permit them
to remalShal the scattered forces that in
the dark days of radical rule were a pow
er and terror to US. The democracy must
preserve and strengthen its organization.
To do this we must observe the smallest
particulars. We must nominate men for
all the offices to be filled, and must work
for their election. To do otherwise would
be to disorganize our party. We cannot
expect to preserve our States political
if we destroy our local organiza-
tions and oyerturn our local fabric.
