Beware Of Forest Fires.

Do the people residing in the p%inelands
of Mississippi realize that this whole coun-
try is at the proscn, lime a finder box and
a powder magazine? We have had no soak
ing rains for more than five months. North
| winds and a parching sun have taken the
last drop of moisture from thefallen forest
leaves, rotten limbs, and deadencd trees on
many millions of acres i'll the State. Let a
fire be started in a high wind, and let the
high wind be started after the fire is kim
died. and forests, fields, fences and many
farm buildings will be consumed. Every
dead pine Is mo-" 80 10y " . r~-le~, ~ad
when on fire the winds may send its brands
A mile ahead to start other fires. Campers
and teamsters should be careful to extin-
guish their fires by the roadside when they
leave them. Outdoor fires should not be
started. Children, colored people and
everybody else should be cautioned against
starting fires anywhere in woods, field or
pasture, even where no danger may be sus-
pected. Water is scarce; autumnal leaves
are falling; soon frosts will appear, and
the woods will have a great addition OF
combustible matter added to that which al
ready covers the ground. The newspapers
of the whole State, and of all the States
that have suffered from drouth this year,
should sound the alarm, and remind our
people everywhere to be cautious, and re-
member that a little carclessncss even by a
child may destroy a whole neighborhood.
Boards Of Supervisors should have large
posters put up in all parts OF the country
warming the people in regard to the peril
Gus condition of the country. The fires have
been raging in Michigan, New jersey and
Pennsylvania, and elsewhere. They may
soon sweep over Mississippi.
Reports of the fires in Eastern Michigan
are of the most distressing character. The
forests have been on fire for ten days, the
flames have communicated to most OF the
farm houses and villages, completely des-
~troying them, and burning to death hun
dreds of people. Anew York Herald cor
respondent says.
Scattered along the roads and in the
burned woods were seen the charred remains
of men, women and children. Entire COM
munities are left houseless, naked, hungry
and, in many instances, scorched, sick and
wounded. Many heads OF families are left
alone in the world, their wives and children
have been burned to death, and all their
material possessions except the land they
owned have persisted in the hurricane of
flame. The stories of remarkable escapes
are very thrilling, and show that the race
between the flames and a terrible death was
a very close one

President Garfield.

The President has done very well
since arriving at Long Branch. In
fact DR.. Bliss has reported him as
convalescing, so much so that three
of the Doctors, Barnes, Reyburn
and Woodward were dismissed. The
case is now under the treatment of
Bliss, Agnew and Hamilton.
Sunday the dioeo~ory wac made
that an abscess had formed on tho
Presidents lungs and the physi-
clans were afraid that the compiled
ton would be hard to control. In
consequence of the report the gravest
! apDrehensions we're entertained.
Monday the President 4 re-
ported much better. DR.. Bliss does
not think that the lung affection is
more than congestion of the right
lobe, caused by Inflammation OF the
parotid gland. The cough is i'm
proving and the patient now expcc-
t~orates without being annoyed by
the hacking he has recently expert
enceG. Tuesday the President felt
well enough to be taken from his
bed and placed in an invalid chair.
! He was allowed to remain in the chair
thirty-Gve minutes, aid experienced
no i'll effects. The physicians will
allow him to sit in the chair olce a
day, unless he gets worse. The
President is much gratllied at his
increasing strength.

The New Orleans Strike.

The strike continues in New Or
leans. Saturday last the strikers
made an attak on some new hands
and the police shot and killed one
of their number, and others were
wounded. Monday the strikers
were out in force and attacked and
ran off many persons who were
working at the rates offered by the
cotton men. The militia and the
entire police force were called ont to
hold the strikers in check. They
have attack laborers with stones,
clubs, axes and guns. Having be-
come very obstrcperous they should
be delt with summarily.
The history q be soon told.
The cotton men of New Orleans re-
Quire thousands Of hands to handle
the crop as it comes in. They need
hands to dray it to the warehouses,
ships, cotton compress; they need
hands to weigh, mark, class, store,
and compress their cotton. They
fixed a fair rate of compensation,
but some branches of the laborers'
union refused to accept them, and
now ssseem determined that the
work shall not be done at the rate
agreed upon by the cotton men.
The cotton factors say they have a
right to employ whoever they choose
and they will not yield to the stri-
kers.
P. S.-Yesterday morning the strike
ended by an adjustment between
the Cotton Mems Council and the
Chamber Of Commerce. The ad-
iustment embraces a Remuneration of
all rules Or regulations interfering
with the employers right to select
their labor, and fixes a tariff of rates
for all branches oflabor represented.

The Democracy and It's Organs.

All along Il sympathy has been
with the Clarion in its evident pur-
pose to number as among the things
Of the past the rivalries, conten-
tons and wrongs, if there were
wrongs, ofthe late Democratic State
Convention. We have taken no part
in the effort, charged on some ofour
State papers, to burden Gen. Low
rvs candidacy with the Senatorial
question. We have thought, and do
now think. that the present battle
ought to be fought by q united
Democracy on the issues joined be-
tween our party and its adversaries ;
that foreign matter, upon which
Democrats do not agree, ought not
to be pushed into the canvass.
We are not so welded 80 any
idea, not distinctively adopted
by our party, but that we a await
the action thereon OF future party
counsels. We do not propose to in
jcct our own particular notions into
this canvass irrespective of whether
the party hath OF hath not sanction.

We are lead to believe by its
leader of last week that the Clarion
does not feel as we do upon thG
subject. 1t really panied us when
we read the editorial headed: "A
needed reform-the separation o
the Judiciary from the executive de
partment," to see that.that the par
tY organ of the State at this time
seeks to make prominent, and de
clares It's adhesion to, the idea o
an elective judiciary. In our hum

idea would lose the Democracy anC

the subject mentioned, we believe
it is mistaken. Reason is agains'

in the Democratic platform on th'

An Attempt to Kill Guiteau.

Sergeant Mason, of battery b.
second artillery, attempted to kill
Guiteau in his cell on the IIth. He
was one of the guards who had been
on duty at the Jail. Mason and
companions arrived at the Jail al
seven o'clock in the evening to &c
on duty. He went around the Jail,
put his musket through the CRATE
and fired at Guiteau. The ball
grazed his head, but inflicted nc
painful wound. Mason immediate
ly gave himself to his superior Off
Ger. He says he shot to kill and is
sorry he failed; that he had loaded
his gun with the deliberate inten-
ton of killing Guiteau. Mason is a
native of Virginia. He is in the
hands of the military and will pro
badly be court martialed. His pun
ishment, if any is inflicted, will be
light.

Tho Joint Discussion.

Gen. Lowry and Col. King held their
first joint discussion at Canton Monday.
Their route lies up the Jackson road, across
to Corinth, down to Meridian them across
to Jackson. They are accompanied by
Hon, Van II. Manning. Democrat, and Mr..
Ogden, Independent.
BY agreement Col. Kingspoke first, occu-
plying over an hour. His speech was sim
liar TO the one he,delivered in Brandon last
Saturday, In his opening remarks he
declared, as in his letter, that he was Meth
er a Democrat, Republican nor Greenback-
er, but a Conservative, anxious to over
throw the Democratic power by all the con-
solidated elements he could get together;
that he had acted with the Democrats and
had always opposed the carpet ~-baggers; he
did not support Dent or Greeley; he held in
contempt the Democratic platform; and ve-
hemently denounced ballot-box stutiing; he
wanted the Republicans, Greenbackers and
Independent Democrats to elect him Gov
ernor, ii he did not belong ito any of their
organizations; that in Copiah county he
had been called the wheel horse of Democ-
racy and he believed he was entitled to the
name, that he had always pulled the wheel
out of the rut, but that the Democratic
reins were too weak to hold him in the
traces and he had kicked out.
A correspondent of the New Orleans
Democrat says that Gen. Lowry followed
in a speech, in which he tore into shreds
every position which had been taken by his
opponent. He showed BY figures that could
not be challenged, that the State gov
eminent had been administered since 1875
more economically than any other State in
the Union. He attacked the position ia
ken by King, and charged that if there had
been frauds or ballot-box stufiing at the
polls. Judge Hill, of the United States Dis
trict Court, had failed in his duty, as the law
made it his duty to punish the perpetra-
tors of such crimes. But he did not believe
that Judge Hill had been de%relict in his
duty. Though IL Republican, he was one
of the purest and best men who had ever
sat upon the bench, and had there been
frauds practiced, as was charged, he would
have punished the perpetrators. Under
radical rule property was assessed at twice
its value for the purpose of increasing the
revenues and filling the pockets of a few Of
flee holders. Under the Democrats adj
ministration property had increased in val
ne and taxes had decreased. The State
government was now run on 100000,
while in 1873 it cost SI,450,000. The col
ored man under Republican rule was COM
PEELED 10 vote only such tickets as were put
into his hands. He can now vote as he
pleases and is protected in that right"
Col. King was allowed forty minutes to
reply, but after speaking twenty broke
down. He smartod under Lowry's rasping
lashcs, and it is thought will abandon the
canvass before all the appointments are
filled.
Col. Manning spoke next. Mr.. Ogden fol-
lowed, and Col. NJ. closed. Ogden has
about got enough OF the fun, as Manning
shows him no mercy.
To-day the discussion is held at WinOna
