The Necessity of Party Unity and Or
ganizatlOn.
kemper Herald.

Kemper Herald.
We believe it necessary for party unity
to adhere to this system We believe
in keeping party lines strictly drawn, and
when person becomes SO selfwilled that
he cannot sink personal aggrandisement for
the good of the party, he should be
allowed to take his departure and act with
any party he pleases the only way to draw
party lines as they should, is by adhering to
this system. If this system was good four
years ago it is good now, and our leaders
should think sometime before they abandon
it, to CRAFTY the desires of few disappoint-
ed office-seekers, who pride themselves upon
their independence, but who in fact ought
to be kicked out of the Democratic party
for departing from the well-known usages
thereof Those who advocate the aboli-
ton of the system, offer no good
reasons why their advice should
be followed. If the Democrats are so large
ly in the majority it is a good reason for
standing by the caucus, for if they are to
have a struggle over the election of officers
or other party matters, it should be decided
in caucus, so that there will be no splitting
up when they meet in the legislative halls.
In other words, if they must have a split ON
men or measures, let it befrst in caucuIwhere
there can be a chance of compromise. All
this opposition to the caucus seems to come
from those who are supporting some favor
ite for the United States Senate. What
harm can a caucus possibly do any Demo-
cratic candidate for the Senate? If he is
good Democrat he will expect his support
from Democrats, and would scorn to take
the office at the hands of a few Democrats, |
and Radicals. If our party /
expects to remain united, we must adopt
some plan of action, and when adopted we
must adhere to it. As we said in the out
set, the caucus system will insure the cleo |
lion of DemoGratic officers, and is the only |
means by which we can keep party lines |
strictly drawn, so let us adhere to this plan.

they exhibited it and made an open
declaration of what had been done. \

About Four Names

1t was a circumstance often remarked
upon in the course of the war that
there should be two men prominent on the
opposite sides with names so nearly iJsnti-
cal as jefferson Davis, Gommander-in-cbief
of ali the Confederate forces, and jefferson
Q. Davis, military leader of high rank in
the Union army. It is probable that the
newspaper headlines announcing the death
of Jefferson @. Davis in this city on sun
day last, gave a momentary impression to
nine-tenths of their readers that the ex-
President of the collapsed Confederacy had
passed away. There was in the two armies
another similarity of names not quite 50
well known, but fully Gs sssikinr-that Of
Gen. Geo. B. Mcclellan, of the Union
army, and Gen. George B. Mcclellan. Of the
Confederates. The last named gentleman
halls from Oktibbeha county, Mississippi
and is an esteemed member of the Yale
College class of 1853 Inter Ocean.
That's pretty story, and its pity
to spoil it; butit must be done. There
was no such General in the Confederate
service as George B. Mcclellan, of Ok
tibbeha county, Miss.

Sand b. the party oreanisatlon.

From what we can learn an overwhel-
ming majority of the Democratic mem
bers of the Legislature are firmly re-
solved to adhere to the caucus system,
and thus, in the language of our able
cotemporary, the Port Gibson Rev
ellie, hold their grip ON the party sys-
TEN no matter who gains or losses. Men
may come, and men may go but the
party of principle-of the Constitution.
of law and of order-must live. A
boom for the party that has
reclaimed Mississippi from misrule, and
viii save Mississippi TO the Democracy
in the Presidential election, is what Is
what is wanted and not 'boom" for
this man, that man or the other man.
If the Legislature sets the example Of
having a hurdle race for the important
Offices to be filed by that body, you may
expect the same thing next year when
an election for State officers will be
held. The same arguments which
would apply in favor of abandoning
the regular organizations now, will
apply with equal force then. And
when the regular organization has been
once struck down, the disorganizer and
enemies of the party may well exclaim,
seeing the ruin that has been wrought
mischief, thou art afoot;

The Maine Lesson.

We would infer that the trouble and
threatened bloodshed in Maine, has
taught lesson to some of our Northern
friends, from what the Boston Herald,
a conservative Republican, says. Here
it Is:
We have already referred to one valuable
lesson to be drawn from the election i'm
broglio in Maine, and every phase presented
emphasizes it. When we have read about
conflicting State governments in the South,
it did not seem to US that such conflicts
could ever take place in this section. We
were apt TO think that our civilization was
too thorough, and our modes of proceeding
too well established, to allow of any ques-
tion in regard to giving full and honest ex-
preston to the will of the majority express
ed in any election. But ne find that the State
of Jfaine Is liable to the same difficulties as
Louisiana, and, though the manners of the
people are different, the danger of violating
law IL as great in one State as in the other.
This experience shoutd teach as clarity, ana
iac,Icafe respect for ecery popular protest
ag1iJ,st official lcr0ng. Candidates for office
have been frequently counted out on tech
nicalities in every State, but in Maine the
result has been so sweeping as to reverse
the expressed will of the people at the polls.

Railroad Transportation.

This question is commanding large
share of attention. The following is an
extract from the recent message of the
Governor of New York, on the sub
ject;
The relations of railroads to the public
are of vast Importance and demand careful
examination by the Legislature. In its in
ter-State aspect the subject can only be
treated by Congress- But the internal in
terests of the people Of this State, compris-
ing one-tenth of the population of the
Union must depend upon local legislation.
Responding to popular sentiment, the last
Assembly appointed special committee to
investigate the management of the rail-
roads, with instructions to report to the
next Legislature. The members of the COM
mittee have devoted themselves assiduous-
ly to this duty, and will, in due time pre-
sent their conclusions for your consdera-
tiDn.
The question of railroad transportation
affects directly or indirectly every indus
trial and commercial interest; and the pub
lie have a right to demand that freight tar
riffs shall be uniform for like service, with
out discrimination as between citizens or
and that they shall also have
publicity. This should be secur- |
