MyDear Sir,-Owingt to the close personal
and political relations which have existed
between YOU and myself from the time you
studied law uuder me and practiced with
me as partner, feel that you are lifting
medium through which can express my
purposes as to the use OF my name by the
Congressional Convention which meets ia
| Stanton on tomorrow the 18th instant.
| You know. my dear sir that it was my de-
sign not to be candidate at the two pre-
ceding elections and what circumstances
operated to change my decision. AT the lat
| ter period expressed TO you that no circum.
stances in the future should drive me again
into candidacy for Congress. The reasons
which have impelled me to this course are
numerous and not necessary TO be mention
| ed in detail, but prominent among them l.
that since I entered Congress in 1859 |

charge OF public trusts, which have taken
me from INV home, business, and family

The Census I'm the sOuih.
raleigh Obseryer.l


The Radicals are in a state Of mind about
the census. Had the census OF 1870 been
properly taken, the South would doubtless
have had larger representation in Con-
gress and in the Electoral College. But the
Radicals and carpet-biggers, either through
incompetence, negligence, or design, made
an imperfect enumeration, and not only lost
us rightful power, but made us the target
for envenomed shafts, and for ten years
past the South has been falsely decried all
over the world as retrograding country.
This was the damage done us. And now
that a lust aud fair census has been taken,
and our thrift and growth has been
demonstrated, instead OF our increase being
hailed with satisfaction, ii greatly distresses
the Radicals throughout the country. To
show that the census has been improperly
taken, they refer 10 Kershaw county, in
South Carolina, whose apparent gain has
been great. But then the gain is great only
by comparison with the false and Radical
census OF 1870. IL is not great compared
with the census OF 1910, or 1850. or 1860.
The increase has been proportonate, leay'
ing out the count OF 1870, when the county
was alleged TO contain less people than in
1860. The census of 1870 was an outrage.

REPORT OF THE SANITARY COMMIS sICS
APPOINTED BY TIE TRUSTEES OF PRINCE
TON COLLEGE on THE SANITARY CONDITION
OF The lNsTITUTION.-The Sanitary Com
mittee appointed by the trustees OF Prince
ton College to examine into the cause OF the
late sickness are fully satisfied that it was
owing to defects in the construction and
oversight OF the sewer system.
Radical changes have been made, and all
the former indoor appliances have been
removed. The sewer connections have been
taken up, and the cesspool system has
been abandoned. Thorough provision has
been made for additional water supply, al
though the former was found not 10 be con.
taminated.
We are able TO report such removals and
constructions as put the College In a
thoroughly sanitary condition. With these
changes we now certify that the College pro-
perty and buildings are In a proper sanitary
state. The same thorough attention has been
extended 10 the University Hotel and to the
town boarding places Of students. We
therefore assure the alumni and friends OF
been removed, aud that those DESTROYS OF
sending their sons to PRINCETON College can
do 80 with entire confidence In its sanitary
condition.

CAPT BOB ANALYSIS THE rcr1oN


With unmitigated pleasure we well
come to the brotherhood of Missis-
sippi journalism that genial friend and
superb gentleman, Capt. r. l.. Hen
derson. The last number of the Merl-
dian Observer comes with the an
houncement that he is regularly in
stalled as co-edit0r and co-proprietor of
that paper. We consider it most de-
sirable accession, and we know that
he is capable of putting out a paper
which will bc credit to Mississippi.
Before the war Capt. Henderson was
the editor Of the Baton Rouge Gazette
ana Comet, 1--WE believe that was the
name of his paper,) and during and
since the war, in an active life and
service in other fields he has made
friends by the hundreds. The more
he is known the better he is liked.
We have had conviction for some
time that something was wanting in
the editorial fraternity of Mississippi,
to round off its fair proportions and
give fulness of tone and dignity and
geniality to the body. The want is
supplied. Every newspaper man will
recognize the fact at once. We have
got the reinforcement needed. We
haye captured Bob Henderson. He
will spring at once into the position of
our "big BROTHER" and just as soon as
we get chance we intend to make
him President of the Mississippi Press
Association.
Below will be found his graceful and
salutatory:
In accordance with Il timc-honored Gus
tom, the undersigned, upon entering upon
the duties of cO-CditOr and proprietor of
the Eastern Observer, herewith makes
his humble bow to the public. We make |
no pretcntious promises, but will strive to
give to the people paper worthy of their
patronage and cOntidCncc-one that can
safely be introduced into the families of
elevate the character of the Observer to
that high and moral standard requisite to
gain the respect of discriminating pub
lie.
The policy inaugurated by the paper
from its inception will still remain un-
changed, and while strictly Democratic in
politics, it will cmphatically cschew par
Lizanshp.
The paper, as heretofore, will be largely
devoted to the agricultural interests of the
State, believing, as we do, that the very
vitality of all trades and business depends
upon the fostering care of our agricultural
Our Grange Department will
still continue TO be special feature of the
PAPER, and we respectfully invite the CO.
operation Of our farming friends.
We invite the assistance of the public
and will do all in our power to
,nhance the business interests of our pa
rOns.
TO our brethren of the press, we offer
genuine courtesy, and Il full, fair and
quarc discussion Of all measures, when
necessary. r. l.. HENDERSON.
The comet. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1877-1882, 1880-09-25

AT the opening of the Presidential
canvass, it will perhaps be remember
cd by some Of our readers, that THE
COMET gave Garfield 81 electoral votes
out of the 369. We did this cheerfully
and are still willing to conccde them
to the salary grabber. From the New
York Worlds analysis of the result in
Maine, published below, it will be
seen that that great Democratic organ
has seized hold of our idea. The
World says:
''Thc issue was invited by Mr.. Blaine,
and Maine has rendered her verdict. In
the condemnation of the theft Of the presi-
dency, Gen. Garfield, Il leading participant
in that theft, is hOpelessly condemned.
One word now as to the figures. In
majority of $1,000 in II poll Of 135, 900 has
utterly vanished since 1886. OF $4,000 Re-
publican voters in Maine ut least ZOO have
now voted against their party in the very
crisis of its fate. The yste of 1876 showed
both parties at high water mark in every
State in the Union. Judged by the Sep
tember vote of 1880, as they have asked to
be, where do the Republicans stand to-day !?
On the basis of the change in Maine taking
the strength shown III 1876 as Il fair point
Of departure, the Republicans will be
beaten in California by $1,000, in Colorado
by $4,000, in Illinois by $4,000, in Nevada
by 1000, in New Hampshire by 1000, in
Ohio by nearly G0,000, in Oregon by 1000
in Pennsylvania by 10000 and in Wiscon-
sin by nearly 10000. In the light of their

A Sentiment by Garfield.

az would rather be beaten in right
than succeed in wrong"
This grand sentiment is quoted as
coming from the lips of James A..
Garfield, the Republican candidate for
President, the man who sold himself
and his Congressional influence to the
Credit Mobiier for $329; the man
who took 5000 bride from the De
Golyer paving company; the man
who pushed the salary grab bill
through Congress; the man who went
down TO New Orleans i'm 1876 and
assisted tO steal the electoral vote of
Louisiana from the Democratic Presi-
dental candidate; the man who sat
on the Electoral Commission and
there deliberately perured himself;
this man, candidate for the Chief
Magistracy of the Republic, now arises
and says: II would rather he beaten
in the right than succeed i'm wrong"
Very well, Mr.. Garfield, you shall
have il your way.
You will be beaten in November in
the righteous battle which the Demo-
cratic hosts took the field 10 fight.
You will not be allowed 10 succeed in
YOUR wrong.

POLITICS IN YALLOBUSHA

A private letter from Coffeville in
closing twelve new subscribers for
THE COMET, concludes with this
gratifying assurance: "Put down
Yallobusha for Hancock and Man
ming"
We never had any doubt but that
the extraordinary capers of Chairman
Wimberly would kill the Greenback
party as dead as a door nail in Yallo-
busha. If you have new party in n
swing, and give one end of the rope to
Wimberly, he is dead sure to sling it to
perdition before the canvass fairly
opens. III G is the best canvasser we
ever saw or heard Of to run his party
into the ground.
