The Canvass in MIssissinpi.


Hon. L. @. c. Lamar, United States
Senator from Mississippi, is earnestly en-.
gagged in the political canvass now &C
lively begun in that State His speeches
{ are reported as powerful and convincing
in their eloquence and logic. He seems
to have lost sight of himself and his
own aspirations for reelection to the
4United States Senate, and to be devoting
] all of his powers to the defense of the
aDemocratic-C Conservative ticket and to-
! the defeat of the Fusion ticket, headed
Joy Colonel Ben King, Independent, and
Colonel J. B. Yellowley, Greenbacker
At recent meeting at Canton, which
was largely attended, a correspondent
writes, he spoke for more than three
hours, the effect of his speech being the
reconversion to the Democratic Con-
sservative standard of very many good
men who had manifested a disposition
: to depart from its fold and to align them
selves with the opposition party. His
Z wise words of counsel harmonized, to a
great extent, the discordant elements in
] the party in that county, and strength
4ened the hearts and hands of the
Speople who favor a continuance Of the
! wise and healthful civil administration
that has obtained in that State ever since
the Democratic Conservative party came
into power. Colonel Lamar discomfort
anced all plans of influencing the cleo
s ton through any irregular methods,
either violence, intimidation, direct or
Indirect, or any unfairness, saying that
these means would defeat themselves in
Z the end, and be an element of disintegra-
( tion in the party. He insisted upon il
! that the union and active and
energetic co operation of the best
classes of society, with the use of
those methods which are employ
5 ed by the intelligent and responsible
classes in all free governments to guide
4 and control the incompetent and ignoI
rant, will prove adequate to the preserva
ton of the present healthy civil admins
tration in Mississippi. He insisted on
this union. not as a party policy, not as
I scheme of ascendancy to any set of
men for ambitious purposes, but as al
matter of principle, and that principle
( self preservation.

every impartial reader must recognize

The Labor RiOts-Erective ActiOl
Necessary.

NtCcoedIy
The riotous demonstration yesterday al
iternoon, which temporarily retarded bust
ness, and occasioned general excitement
throughout the community, is a natural
result of a set of disconnected laoorers'
unwilling to work for certain wages
attempting to control the action OF tnosf
who differ with them and to prevent tEeli
working. A large proportion OF oui
laboring class are, as is well known,
Easily infiuenced, especially when whisky
= flowing freely. and are readily melted
: 70 deeds of rioting, murder and lesser
crimes. These are facts that cannot bt
5controyerted, and it therefore behooves
those IN authority to see that the laws
are most rigidly executed, not entirely
with the view to punish criminals but to
prevent the commission of crime. Ii
cannot be denied that the laxity with
which our laws have been executed and
the leniency that has often been ex-
tended offenders have had ademoralizine
effect, and rather encouraged the lawless
lly inclined, trusting in the immunity
from punishment, to indulge their evil
.oropensities.
The record of crime day after day in
/ this community is indisputable evidence
that the strong arm of the law should be
out forth, and that the spirit of lawless
ness should be effectually crushed out.
The time for action is upon us, and such
a course should be pursued to-day as
will convince the riotous and lawless
element in our midst that defiance OF
he law will not be countenanced, and
the orders of a secret council that conflict
with the peace and good order Of the
community and the rights Of others can
not be executed with impunity. The
/ riot OF yesterday, which may re
suit IN the loss to the community OF
A brave and efficient officer, has no pal
iation or excuse. The parties concern
I'd in it had a perfect right to stop work
( they so desired, but not 10 interfere
With others or to obstruct the bushes:
IF this port. There should be reward
offered for the arrest of the miscreant
Who fired upon Sergeant Harvey, and
no effort should be lacking on the part
Of the authorities to secure bis apprehen
sion.
Such troubles are liable to occur al
any time during the business season, and
not only injure the business of this port,
but, what is even worse, result in blood
ihed and the loss of valuable lives.
The remedy. we consider, lies in the
strict enforcement of the laws, and eff
fort should be made to bring to trial
every man or woman, white or black,
who was concerned in this riot, and we
rust that such sctiOn may be taken.

presIdent Garfleld Dead.


The uufavorable accounts of the Presi-
Sdent's condition given by our kilograms
from Elberon during the last forty-eightI
5 hours had dissipated the last lingering
hope of his recovery, and prepared us
for the sad tidings of his death at any
moment. 1t was therefore with feelings of
relief rather than surprise that we read
Z the first brief dispatch, received a few
minutes before eleven o'clock last
night, announcing that ''The President
lis deadr' Under other circumstances
5this brief announcement would
zhave shocked the nation, but the
millions who have watched with anxious
Sympathetic interest the progress OF his
death struggle from the day on which
4 he was stricken down by the assassin's
bullet, and have. with alternately rising
and sinking hope, read the history OF
This suffering through the long sultry
Notwithstanding borne with
such manly fortiIude-will be relieved
] to know that death, since it was ineviI
table, has released him from his mortal
agony.
The death of President Garfield is 8
national calamity, the momentous con
sequences, of which it is impossible now
Ito estimate. Elevated to the Chief
aMagistracy Of the Union by the votes Of
the Republican party, his first official act
agave assurance to the country of a
national, wise and patriotic administra-
stion of the government, and gained for
him the respect and confidence of his
political opponents. That he encoun-
1tered bitter opposition from faction of
q his own party-the faction into whose
hands the reigns Of govern
ment must now fall-has very
naturally caused apprehensions that a
! different spirit. an opposite policy from
that which he had entered upon, would
characterize the administration OF his
constitutional successor. Let us hope
that this apprehension is unfounded, and
that Mr. Arthur, assured, as he must
sbe, of the feelings and sentiments of the
American people, and in view of the pecu-
.4liar circumstances under which he comes
s into power, will, in the exercise of that
power, profit by the example of his
martyred predecessor. The delicacy OF
his position challenges the fair judgment
of his countrymen. 1t is with
{ him to make his admins
stratlon worthy of the confidence and
support of the people of all sections OF
4 the Union. Until he forfeits that conf
dence and support, it will be cheerfully
accorded to him by every true patriot
jNorth and South.

SAVANNAH, September 10. - Editor
Morning Ne,cs: For di:simiLdr methods,
printed in my article of this CMonday's
issue on "VOltaic Electricity in Garden
Cultivation" please substitute dissimiIa'
metals, as written. The correction is
essential to the suggestion offered
The generation of electricity by con
tact of two dissimIlar metals with moiE.
ture is demonstrated readily by the
school, boy experiment Of silver coin
IN the tongue and bit of zinc under
the tongue. So long as kept apart, nc
sensation is experienced. but bring the
edges of the metals together while touch

will be felt. A silver toOthpick coming
in contact with filing in a tooth will

According to tAe statements Of ex-See
FetarY Schurz, whose extended expert
ence in Washington makes him cOmpe
tent to judge, "a mental, malsdy sooner
or later infects about ninety-fve pei
cent. of the routine officials of the gov
eminent, causing them to cOnstrue every
law on the statute book in favor Of the
public Treasury, and adversely to th,
public themselves" a stronger argu
ment against a life tenure Of Office, which
is urged by the civil service reform
ers," could not be devised. If lengthy
tenure turns the peoples servants agains
the people, 1t is certainly Advisable tina
the tenure should rather be shortened
than heightened, and the public service
more frequently reconstructed from The
RANKS of the people. The routine OH
cials" should be neither the masters mol
the enemies of the people They would
become both If given a life tenure o.

In his article on The State and the
