Preserve the Party Organization.
PARTY ORGANIZATION.

Gen. Sharp in Columbus Independent.
We do insist that those gentlemen who
hold their seats in the Legislature through
the agency of party organization shall do
nothing to relax party discipline. Men who
have gone outside the party to reach an
Office should be made to feel they have
travelled the wrong road The selection Of
a United States Senator is a unimportant
matter compared with preserving the unity
of the Democratic party. We are the par
titan of no man for that position From
the material from which a selection is to be
made, there can be no mistake in the choice.
Barksdale, Singleton, Walthall, Houston,
George, Meek, Chalmers, Jarnagin, Rey-
nolds, Featherston and Sims are all safe
men. Shut your eyes and strike and you
could not hit amiss. But we would not
vote for any one who was not willing to risk
his election to the regularly elected Demo-
cratic members of the Legislature. Party
desertion must be made odious and party
deserters must be punished if you would
preserve your party organization. If it is
proposed to disrupt the Democratic party
say 50 openly, but don't assassnate it. We
don't want any man representing the Dem
ocratic party in the United States Senate
who owes his election to the "a disorgani-
zers in the Legislature.

The Senatorial Election.

EDITORS CLARION have watched with
deep interest the canvass for United States
Senator and have read with regret edto-
rails and communications in the press of the
State, which seem to regard men who have
devoted much oftheir lives to the study OF
political affairs as mere politicians who
are unworthy to be United State Senators.
The election will be watched with anxiety
by all true party men to determine several
questions:
|. Is a man who has served the party for
years to be rejected "as a mere politician. 4"
2. Is a man who openly seeks the suf-
frages of the people as candidate to be
rejected as "a mere Office seeker"
3. Will the next Senator of Mississippi
favor the free coinage of silver at the old
standard,or will he favor putting more silver
in the dollar to equal gold standard.
4. viii he favor retaining the present
issue of greenbacks, or letting them alone
as results of the war
5. viii he vote for recharter of the
National Banks2
6, Should subsequent Democratic Leg.
islature instruct him to vote against a
recharter of the National Banks will he
obey the instructions or resign.

principle as to admit them? If they do,

it only serves to give the disorganizers the

The Reassembling Of Congress-What
the Country Needs.


After holiday Of three weeks Con-
gress will resume its labors to-day.
During the first weeks of the session
nothing was done. BY common consent
the serious work Of the session was
postponed until after the recess. 1t
must now begin in earnest; and the
country will'look with deep solieitude
to its proceedings. Upon the represen.
tatives Of the Democracy agreat respon-
sibility is devolyed. They have major
tiles in both houses and will
be held accountable for the measures
which they may adopt. First and fore
most, the minds Of the country are made
up on one point. No sectional diScls-
sioas are ,oanted. The fight Of the sections

ton. Then past business inter
ests to fostS promote. The cur
rency questit en- be best treated by
being let alone. But as it is one of i'm
mediate concern, if the fight is forced
the Democrats will consult patriotism
as well as expediency, by opposing the
administrations scheme to stop the
coinage Of silver and to destroy the
Greenback notes. Pledged to bring
back the government to first principles,
they will oppose the measures of con
solidationists, and also strive to intro
duce economy into the expenditure Of
public money. The necessary appropri
alton bills, we trust, will be passed with
out obstructive or dilatory proceedings
but it does not follow that the democra
cy should lower their standard in favor
Of free elections as against the use o
the army ut the polls, and the employ
ment of marshals and partizan supervi
sors to interfere with the freedom o
the ballot. The issue can best be mad,
by the introduction Of scperato bills

veto, the issue can then be taken up t.

the tribunal of the people-divestcd Of
the humbugging pretencc that the Dem
ocrats are endeavoring to starye the
government. The conservative senti.
ment of the country is alarmed by the
clamor for Grant and Third Term
Grant and the Empire-and if the rep
rescntativcs of the Democracy in the
federal councils will meet the great re-
Sponsibility which has been put upon
them by the country, wisely and well,
Il Democratic victory will be assured in

The President of the st. Louis Exc.
dus Association has petitioned the
Mayor and City Council for aid, saying:
There are about two hundred and fifty
families in the city from the South. many
oiwhom are scattered among the families OF
the resident colored people All of them
require assistance, some Of them being en-.
tirely helpless and in condition of great
suffering More than three hundred col.
ored persons are reported as now on the
road by steamboat or rail, and there is good
reason TO think that they will be numbered
by thousands between this time and the
early spring. Nearly all of them come in a
wretched condition, two.thirds being women
and children without any definite plan of
action or place of destination. They mu st
evidently remain here for a considerable
length of time after arrival, simply from
want of means to get away.
Now the question arises, who per-
suaded these people from the homes
where they were wellprovided with the
necessaries of life, and were comfortable
and would have been happy ifleft alone
into this wretched and suffering condi-
ton here described? And how long are

Sound Financial Propositions.

The following propositions embraced
in bill which it is said will be intro
duced into the Congress at an early day,
are sound. Gold and silver are the
constitutional currency. The author
ity to issue Treasury notes receivable
for government dues and which would
pass as currency because on the credit
of the government Greenback money
exists as legal tender,i is not an original
question. Greenbacks already exist in
that form, and to divest them of it
would be violation of contract between
the government and the holders thereof
The Administration does not assert that
silver is not constitutional currency,
but it aims covertly to abolish it by dis.
continuing its coinage. A wise policy
would demand that the coinage of the
two metals should be unlimited, and
that such supply of Treasury notes, in
addition to the paper circulation now
outstanding, should be issued as the ne
cessities of the country require, The
retirement of Greenbacks and the sub
stitution of specie for them under exist
ing circumstances, is not to be thought
of:
Resoired, That coins of gold and silver of
the weight and fineness asfxed by Congress
are the true constitutional currency of the
country.
Resolved, That all paper money required
for the purposes of trade and commerce
should be issued by the government of the
United States, and should be in the nature
of Treasury notes, not legal tender unless
expressly stipulated in the contract, but re-
ceivable for all dues to the United States
and redeemable in coin at the office of the
Assistant Treasurer in New York city, and
that this paper should be Of uniform char.
acter and in denomination to be fixed by
law.
ReSolred, That sound policy requires that
the government should always keep in re-
serve coin to the extent of 1874 per cent, of
outstanding certificates for its redemption.
Resolred, The the change proposed in re.
gard to the currency shall not 90 into effect

THE YAZOO DEMOCRACY,
A Convention that Acted Wisely.
YazOo Herald.


A meeting of the Democracy of this coun-
ty was held at the court house last Mon
day to determine whether they should, in
the light of the lamps then before their
eyes, and in the rays of that light which
has, as occurrences always ought to give,
instruct either for Singleton, Barksdale or
Walthall for United States Senator. All of
these gentlemen have many friends among
the people of this county-among the Dem.
OcratiC portion of them, we mean-and so
great was the consideration held for each of
them that the Convention after long and
earnest debate, and after many moments of
anxious solicitude, finally resolved to adj
Journ and let the members elect to the Leg
lslature vote as they please upon the ques-
ton in controversy. This was right.
That the people have right to instruct in
such cases as this we presume no man will
deny who has proper comprehension of
things, but that they should have done so
in this case we believe to the contrary; and
we can give many reasons for the faith
that is in us. 1t is not necessary TO
do so /; for the able and exhaustive arguments
by Judge Bowman, DR.. Mccormick and A.
G. Norrell, Esq, who represented the side

son, luminous light upon the subject that it
were an act of supererogation on our pa to
attempt to improve upon their efforts by
any remarks of our own. 1t was not that
the Convention loved the Hon. Mr.. Single
ton, or Gen. Walthall, or the Hon. Mr..
Singleton less, but they "loved Rome
more;" and, therefore, that body composed
of wise and prudent men who love their
party full we'll and the respective gentlemen
who stood before them in the attitude of
ones seeking only justice at their hands
asking nothing but what was right, and
turning with the invincible repugnance of
hydrophobia from anything that presented
itself before them in shape that might be
deemed stionable-decided to let the
matter, which was kept in allegiance during
the whole canvass notwithstanding it was
attempted TO be made conspicuous figure
in the pageant by those who formed no part
of our procession, rest where it of right
should in the limbo of past "reminiscences.
discussion was going on which seemed
likely to stretch out to the crack of doom
when motion was made to adjourn by Mr.
John Posey, which was carried-thus end
ing controversy that was ill-calculated to
do a deal of good to the Democratic party of
YazOo county.

Revolutionary Talk.

The following language Of Senator
Blaine IN reference to the official con-
duct Of those who are charged under the
Constitution and laws Of Maine with
convassing the returns and issuing GER
tifcates Of election, is decidedly revolu-
tionary. 1t is worse than "peaceably if
we can, forcibly if we must" 1t is
"forcibly" all the time and is applied
to an order Of things established by the
law Of the State. Duringall the provo
cations Of carpet-bag rule in Mississippi
and the other Southern States, there
was nothing like such language employ
ed for overthrowing the existing order
by the people who felt its expressions,
They worked energetically, it is true,
otherwise their deliyerance would have
never come, but they operated within
the pale Of law and by the methods
which belong exclusively to needful
revolutions. Still, even for that much,
they were constantly discussed and in.
yestigated by statesmen Of the class Of
Mr. Blaine in Congress and out of Con
gress, and there were frequent sugges-
tons Of dealing with them by the mill
tary power ofthe government exclusive
| ly and it was often done in part.
None Of this officious intermeddIng
will be retaliated upon the Maine Re
publicans by the Democracy, Or at least
by the Southern Democracy. Some of
them may wag their heads and indulge
Il little badinage, now and then; but
nothing more serious will follow, unless
the blood Of the contending factions in
Maine begins actual to flow, and then
they will simply intercede as the peace
maker upon whose head blessings are
bestowed by the omnipotent judge of
all. Here is the way Senator Blaine
Eliminates
And now we are asked with insolence OF
highwayman making Off with stolen proper
ty, what are we going to do about it, We
are pursued with the taunt that we cannot

same tribunal that has done the counting
this year will be in position next year to
repeat the game, and such have no doubt
Is the deliberate intent. Success always

for astill greater display Of weakness here
after. The prizes next year, besides that of
State officers, are five Representatives in

seven Presidential Electors, and the undis-
puted possession Of the political power of
the State till January, 1888, as we are to
have biennial elections hereafter. Within
that time they apportion this State into
| Legislative and Congressional districts TO
suit themselves, gerrymandering at will ;
appoint the Valuation Commissioners who
would punish certain sections of the State
by an undue and unfair share of taxation
and generally run riot after the reckless
style of the Administration already inau9u-
rated. This is the treat to which people of
Maine are invited. This the burden for
which they are asked to bend their backs.
This is the degradation to which they are ex-
pected to submit A great popular upris
| ing will avert these evils and restore honest
government to Maine-and the people are

The Senatorial Election.

The law requires that the Senatorial
election shall be held on the second
Tuesday after the meeting Of the Leg
islature 1t provides that each house
shall openly, by viva vOee vote Of each
member present, name one person for
Senator in Congress from such State,
and the name Of the person 50 voted
for, who receives a majority Of the
whole number Of votes cast in each
House, shall be entered on the journal
of that House by the Clerk or Secretary
thereof; or if either House fails to give
such a majority to any person on that
day, the fact shall be entered on the
journal. At twelve o'clock meridian of
the day following that on which pro-
ceedings are required to take place as
aforesaid the members of the two
Houses shall convene in joint assembly,
and the journal of each House shall
then be read, and if the same person
shall receive majority Of all the votes
in each House, he shall be declared duly
elected Senator. But if the same per-
son has not received a majority of the
votes in each House, or if either House
has failed to take proceedings as re-
CURED by this section, the joint assem-
bly, shall then proceed to choose, by a
vioa roce vote Of each member present,
Il person for Senator, and the person
who receives majority of all the votes
of the joint assembly, majority of all
the members elected to both Houses
being present and voting shall be de-
clared duly elected If no person re-
ceives such majority on the first day,
the joint assembly shall meet at twelve
o'clock meridian of each succeeding day
during the session of the Legislature,
and shall take ut least one vote, until a
Senator is elected.
1t shall be the duty of the Executive
Of the State from which any Senator has
been chosen to certify his election, UNI
der the seal Of the State, to the Presi-
dent of the Senate of the United States.
The certificate mentioned in the prece-
ding section shall be countersgned by
the Secretary of State of the State.
And this is the sum and substance of
the matter, as any one may find by con-
suIting the Revised Statutes of the
United States.
1t is presumed that in obedience to
time-honored custom founded upon con-
siderations Of party preservation and
sound public policy, the Democratic
members of the Legislature will meet in
caucus and select candidate to be
voted for by the party. If our memory
serves us, the Democratic caucus which
was held preliminary to the election of
Hon. L. Q. G. Lamar, met in the latter
part of the first week of the session.

nate a Senator and oil officers TO be cleo
ted by that body, Ii is urged against A
caucus, that the opposition to the Democra.
cy is so small, that nothing can be gained by
it, and that to exclude from participation in
the selection of officers the Greenback and
Independent members may weaken the par
ty in the Presidential election. We are un.
able TO see the force of this objection. Ii
the Democratic party preserves its organiza-
tion, we have no fears of the result of that
election, and we think strict adherence to
the caucus system, and the usuages of the

State, We are, therefore, in favor of a eau
Gus of the Democratic members of the Leg

to be filled by the Legislature. We presume
no Greenbscker or Independent would de.
