IMPRESSION 8.

A distinguished Republican OF
Kinds county has been spending sew
eral weeks In Northern cities, recently,
LAYING In stock Of goods for the com
ing campaign in merchandise. Being
asked about the Presidential outlook,
he remarked, ain general way" that
Garfield would carry the 'solid
North"
"But," returned his mterlocutory
friend. "there is no body here but you
and me. Confdentially and honestly
now, what impression was made on
your mind while sojourning IN the
solid North, "
"Well, strictly coniidentially now
between you and me, to go no further'
and not to be quoted against me, the
melancholy fact is, that the wh"le
burned North is hell bent for Han
cock. never saw anything like II.
There is no more chance for the psalm
singer than there is for bob-talled
pony in iy-time. He is just the most
tremendously used up Presidential eX-
nerimenter on record. Scott was
White House race horse in comparison
with him. Van Buren, was Maud
S. to him. He is the most emphat-
ically nowhere man who ever turned
up on the Presidential turf. Pm gong
to vote for him under a protest ana
pressure, but I'll be burned if l amt
Glad he's beat. Beat did say beat?
Why sir, beat amt the word for 1t.
He's literally and Overwhelmingly
sockdolagered. He amt in the race
He's frazzled out already into seq
ments. He'll lose Ohio and Pennsyl-
vania certain. Most probably, also,
Illinois; New York will thunder to
the tune of one hundred thousand
against him. Massachusetts, is burned
doubtful. Maine-well, she's ..tickllsh
too. There amt any comfort for our
parson anywhere except in Vermont,
and Iowa, and Kansas, and Mime
sofa, and Nebraska and little Rhody.
These are all that can be banked on.
Some of the rest are fighting territory,
and, may be, by tight squeeze, he'll
get two or three other little States.
But / tell you the big and the telling
States are all going for Hancotk. Han
cock will sweep the North and South
both, and leave no opportunity for the
play of genius in the count. That is
the impression a mixture with the
North left on me. But don't go and

OH. BLAINE BLAINE

Jimmy Blaine, of Maine, is moi
happy. He affects to smell a mice
This is the doleful way in which he
accounts for the Surprising" result in
Maine in a despatch to the anxious
psalmsinger
Augusta, Maine, September ii =
General J. A. Garfield, Mentor, Ohio
The net results of yesturday's election,
as nearly as can be stated at this hour,
p. M, Tuesday, are as follows: The
Republicans have carried the first,
second and third congressional dis
tricts, while the fusionists have carried
the fourth and fifth. The republi-
cans have carried both branches of
the legislature by strong majority,
reaching perhaps two-thirds of each
house. On the present vote for govern
or, Davis and Plaisted have each over
$4,000 votes with the probabilities in
favor of Plaisted coming out few
hundred, perhaps thousand, ahead.
The result is undeniably surprise to
us and generally to the mass of the
Democratic party in Maine. Our
canvass was never more accurately
taken, and it showed on Wednesday
last total vote for Davis of trifle
over 10000, with probable majority
of 5000 at the minimum. The four
days preceding the election we lost
over 5000 votes by means well known
to the managers of the national dem
ocratic campaign committee, and
which do not call for further specifica-
ton from me. The total cost is vari-
ously estimated at from seventy thou
sand to a hundred thousand dollars,
and the money all came from beyond
the state. Such scenes We're never
before witnessed in Maine.

Letter From MIR. MeneIaus.

COTTON EXCHANGE, NEW YORK, !
September 9th, 1880.
To the Editor OF The Comet:
No doubt you have noticed the arri-
val in this country of Hon. Mr.. b.
Hughes, NJ. p, and that his visit here
is in connection with the settlement of
three or four hundred thousand acres
OF land in east Tennessee, lately pur-
chased by an English land investment
company, with which he is connected.
That tract of land will be occupied by
very superior class of immigrants.
1t will form the nucleus of many such
enterprises. You know how devoted
/ have always been to aid in building
up our State, and it seems to me that
the present is very favorable time of
so doing. Do you not think an effort
might be made to bring under the no.
notice of such investment companies
some of our lands? If the government
would offer tract of 100000 acres
in some good locality, it is by no means
unlikely that it might be disposed of
and that other lois might be sold later
on. The object is of the greatest i'm
portance to the State, and draw your
serious attention TO it, and that of the
press. Without intelligent effort,
nothing can be accomplished. With
a full authenticated description of such
a tract of land in hand, situated in
a healthy portion of our State. the
title to which can be made clear, |
will try my best and see what can be
done. The sooner we bring
into our State, the better
il will be for all. We must admit that
without it, things will move slowly.

Let us join hands and do
our best to bring it. shall always be |

hope the proposition made TO the gov
eminent some months back, by the /

'ious consideration of our authorities.
It is fair in every respect, and I trust
hat Mississippi will meet it fairly too;

Ho, FOR CARTHAGE AND ALL
WAY LANDINGS.

The steamer Oliver Clifton, undHl
the direction of It's energetic and pop
ular Commander, Capt. Jno. II. Dam
eron, has been thoroughly overhau'ed
and improved for the upper Pear
River trade. She is n safe and fast
running packet, with cozy little cabin
for passengers. A new steam capstan
hrs been put on board, and no eX'
pense has been spared to add all inn
proyements demanded by the trade
The Clifton is first class in every par
ticular.
The Jackson merchants should take
this matter in hand-and by selling
to the Carthage merchants at whole
sale rates-they will soon command
the trade of the whole upper Pearl.
Every inducement should be Offered
to the Carthage merchants to buy
their goods of us-wholesale rates
should be given both to them and the
planters living along the banks of the
river. Let them all give the Clifton a
fair start, and with our compress ana
Oil Mill, with our business men all
working together in a united effort, we
may soon look forward to the growth
and prosperity of our city.

JACKSON AND YAzoo CITY R. R.

AT the mass meeting of the citizens
of Jackson in the City Hall last We'd
nesday night in the interest, of this
scheme, the proceedings of which APP
pear elsewhere in our columns, prac-
tical step was taken in the line of the
work, in authorizing the appointment
of committee to confer with the
Mayor and Aldermen, and present a
railroad proposition to the people to
be voted on, before any decisive action
is had
1t is now in order for wakeful and
progressive citizens of Jackson to con-
slider the question in all its bearings.
1t is believed that the effort TO raise
100000 by subscription would be"a
failure, and if the building of the road
is contingent upon that the project
will be abandoned. We are, therefore.
forced to the necessity of giving up
the enterprise altogether or seriously
to entertain the proposition to raise
the amount by the issuance of bonds
of the city based on taxation. Our
business men have brought the ques-
ton down to figures and it will require
an mill tax annually for ten years
on the basis of the present valuation
of property.
Now the question about to be sub
mitted to the voters of Jackson. is.
"Will they vote for this tax for the
advantages to the city which the road
offers ?"
AT the present, we have only to saw |
that when the subject takes this
shape our voice will be in favor of
building the road, and of the employ
ment Of the means which promise its
most speedy construction upon a plan
just TO the parties interested. When
the committee and the Board of
Mayor and Aldermen act on the sug-
gestion of Wednesday nights meeting
and present the issue, we shall then
to give the reasons for con-
sidering it favorably.

THE JACKSON AMATEURS IN
CATION.
publish it..

On Thursday evening the emateurs
of the Jackson Dramatic and Musical
Association, repeated their Concert
and Drama in the Opera House at
Canton. A special train was engaged
to carry the troop and band and such
visitors from Jackson as desired to
witness the performance, to Canton,
and at 5 O'Clock it moved out from the
depot with the amateurs, the Jackson
Cornet Band and some sixty or seventy
additional ladies and gentlemen. At
Madison Station another squad of re-
cruits was received, so that when the
train arrived in Canton, it had gather
ed up a respectable little audience. The
company and visitors, almost in Il
body, repaired 10 the Singleton House
where supper was prepared for them.
Ats o'clock they were met in the Opera
House by fine audience OF the best
citizens of Canton, numbering three
hundred OF more.
Nothing could surpass the sponta-
neous kindness and generosity of the
Canton people in their reception OF
of our theatrical and musical nOvices,
and their appreciation of the several
acts was exceedingly gratifying to the
performers and their friends. On all
sides the entertainment was voted a
brilliant and enjoyable success, both
financially and artistically, greatly
surprising the first appearance here
in Jackson in the same role. !
AT the close of the entertainment,
the hall was cleared, and very
charming ball followed, wherein jack
son and Canton mingled together in
the delightful mazes of the dance,
until u o'clock, the whole affair PROV
ing most enlivening and joyous re-
union, which forms another link to
the harmony, friendship and recipro-
cal good offices between the two little
cities. At this hour they separated,
the Cantonians retiring to their re-
spective homes, and the Jacksonians
boarding their special train, which,
under the direction of Engineer Wilde,
gaily cut off the thirty miles which
intervenes between the towns.
We are requested by the troop to
renew their thanks to the good people
of Canton.

as Hayes received in 1876, it will he
considered a drawn battle. If they
increase that majority they will have
