has not been a single case of yellow

the consequence is hardly a proba-

JACKSON, MISS. Aug. 18th, 1881.
The State Executive Committee most
earnestly recommends the organization
of an Executive Committee in each
county, and the formation of Democrat
ic-C Conservative Clubs in each voting
precinct of the State.
It is important that the whole party
in the State should be thoroughly and
systematically organized. In many
counties this has been done. In those
not yet recognized, steps should at
once be taken to this end.
1t is especially requested that a list Of
the Chairman and members of the Ex-
ecuiiee Committee of each county, with
the rostofice address of each, should be
forwarded without delay to the State
Executive Committee. ct Jeckson.

Organization Of the Senate.

The senate met at noon Monday in ac-
cordance with President Arthur's proclama-
ton of September 22d, and was called to Or
der by Senator Harris. The presidents pro-
clamation was read when Senator Pendleton
offered resolution declaring Senator Bayard
president pro tenn. Senator Edmunds re-
viewed the situation and the precedents in
his usual incisive manner and led the debate
which followed, taking the ground that in
the election of possible president the voice
of every state should be heard, and urged
that the senators-elect should be allowed to
participate in the organization. Various
amendments to Senator Pendleton's resolu-
ton were proposed and voted down, after
which Senator Bayard was elected president
pro tenn by avote of thirty-four to thirty-two,
Senator Davis voting with the republicans.
Mr.. Edmunds showed that the law and the
presidents were in favor of admitting the
three senators-elect, who were entitled to be
heard in the choice of a possible president
of the United States. He warned the dem
ocracy that the fruit which they might gain
by their present course would turn to ashes
of the bitterest description. After consum-
mating their purpose to seize the advantage
an assassin's shot had placed in their power,
the democratic majority adjourned the SEN
ate without considering Mr.. Edmunds' mo
ton that the oath of office be administered
to the senator-elect from Rhode Island.
The democrats did not oppose the admis-
sion of the three republican senators Tues
day, and it is probable that the republicans
will reverse Mondays proceedings aud elect
president. The democrats have decided
not to elect secretary.

Garfield Memorials.

A project for national memorial hospital
in Washington on the spot where the presi-
dent was assassinated has been set on foot
and an organization formed to carry it into
effect. The object has the sympathy and
endorsement of President Arthur, General
Sherman, members of the cabinet and other
distinguished and influential persons. The
land on which the depot stands belongs to
government, it is said, and is held on suffer
ance by the railroad company. 1t has been
intimated to some of the leading promoters
of the proposed memorial that Queen Vic
toria will probably head list of subscrip.
lions from Great Britain, aud that other
European rulers will gladly contribute to
the fund.

when the president died I" recently sent a
dollar to the New York Evening Post, sug.
costing the raising of fund by the children

The Michigan Sufferers.

Under recent date the mayor of Port
Huron, the chairman of the Michigan relief
committee, writes that they have received
all the clothing needed. The things now
most in request are bedding, underwear,
provisions, grass and clover seed, tin-ware,
tableware and money" The cash received
up to that date was $4,000, but the needs
were still great. The generosity of their
acknowledged has inspired the sufferers
with new hope, and they are busily engaged
in building new houses. What they can do
for themselves in this way they are doing,
but in spite of all they can do there will be
fifteen thousand people to house and feed
during the winter, and to do this will
require liberal contributions from the people
of the east continued for some months.
Their case is much harder than that of the
Chicago sufferers ten years ago, because the
latter were in the midst of rich and busy
city, where employment was abundant, and
self-support for all who were able and will
ing to work was easy. But these Michigan
people have no means of earning anything
Their work, done on their own lands il
rebuilding their homes and preparing theil
fields for future crops, brings them neither
money nor sustenance until the crops ripper
next year. Their neighbors are as desti
tute as themselves, so that they cannot worl
for hire. 1t is the duty of their fellow
countrymen whom God has blessed will
abundance to carry these poor peopl
through the winter, and they must do it.

The New York Convention.

The prophets of evil have been disap-
pointed. The New York republican state
convention met in New York city, the 9th
instant aud speedily, tremendously and
decorously took up and completed the work
it assembled to perform. General Joseph
B. Carr was renominated for secretary OF
state; Ira Davenport, for comptroller; State
Senator Leslie w. Russell was nominated
for Encouragement; Colonel Sias Seymore,
for state engineer; James w. Hustled, for
state treasurer; Judge Francis M. Finch,
for judge of the court Of appeals. The
speeches were admirable in spirit, and the
resolutions embody the best purposes of the
party and warmly endorse and support
President Arthur. A supplementary reso-
luton, recognizing the concliatory spirit OF
the convention and accepting it as the har-
binger of victory was adopted.
1t has been characteristic Of republican
conventions to do their quarreling outside
of the precincts of their assemblies, and
when regularly constituted body of their
CnOocu representatives. HOS h"ihSs "'S S'''
didates of the party to bow to this decision,
sink all fractional differences out of sight
and unitedly follow their chosen standard
bearers into the fight. There should be no
stalwarts, no half-breeds. 1t is the bounden
duty of every republican in the Empire state
to march harmoniously and resolutely to the
support of President Arthur, and despite
the ugly stories, industriously circulated by
the enemy, of stalwart sullenness that will
keep them sulking in their tents during the
coming days of battle, we believe this much
traduced faction will give in this state con-
test, as in the late presidential campaign,
evidence Of loyalty and stern obedience to
duty that will put their caluminators to the
blush that they will once more win the
battle for their whole party on the difficult
and decisive battle-ground of the Empire
