Colored Republicans.

George Downing, one Of the most
prominent negro politicians in the coun-
try, in a recent letter to the Providence
Or. L. Journal, speaking of the col
ored Republicans, said:
They see that the Republican party is treat
| ing them with degree Of contempt TO which,
so help us God, we will not submit; happily
we are not obliged to do so. There are others
who will now .reat the colored voter with
quite as much respect and favorable consid-
Grafton for his vote as the Republican party
! is treating its col0reI Il iherAnts. Feelings
outside of the party are changing for the bet
ter. II has bat to be known that we are open
to overtures and they will he freely made
The Republican party owes us rs much as we
owe it. II did for the black for its mot hi,)
benefit. Through his being outraged it has
thrivcd and its members have gen oyed honors
and the emoluments of office. They have
carried out their pecuniary and oher policies
that have favored their interests. The colored
man acknowledges his respectful obligations
to a few earnest hone.t friends in the party !;
twas God and necessity that freed the black.
If he ever owed the Republican party for its
part he cancelled the obligation long ago. At
present there are no principles upon which
political parties are divided We have felt
attached to the Republican parry because it
was made an agent for the right; because it
had allied with it some honest lovers of free
dom and equality. The temper of the colored
people at the present time is not understood.
Go not to colored office-holders at Washington
to learn it, The colored people are ripe for
independence, aye for revolt, and it will take
place if the Republican party does not mani
fest some respect for its black adherents.
We have appealed, we have entreated
the party Whas has it avalled? Self
respect does not admit of submission any
longer to the jeers and deridings the black
man is subjected to on all sides for tamely SUBJ
hitting to insult. lie must assert his man
hood we do not fear the consequence. The
manly will cheer US Oh. The colored people
will be misrepresented no longer by fawning
colored men. No cap in hand ofice-holder
viii keep them from expressing their honest
convictions. young, intelligent class is
coming to the front. l hail the fact with
much satisfaction. 1t has my hearty sympa-
thy and may depend upon my honest support
in its resolve to play the part of free men"
These observations of Mr.. Downing are emf
nently true. The Republican party's negro
policy has never risen above the partisan and
mereen2ry purpose of enthralling him as
voting machine. When the negro declines to
vote for white Republican ofice-seeker the
Republican party's philanthropy" vanishes
in the Tvs linking of an eye.

OVER THE STATE.

Says the Yazoo Sentinel; There have been
several deaths in the lower end of the country
recently. Mr.. c. Z. Gwinn died here on Sunday
night last, aud during last week Mrs. John
Stampley Mrs Geo. W. Smith (near Mechan.
icsburg), two children of DR.. Parish and a
child of Mr.. Frank Lewis, have died.
The Lexington Bulletin says that, Charley

age, son of the late Napoleon Nixon, died in
the Eulogy neighborhood the evening of the
3D. inst. of congestion, and was buried at Oak
Grove Church the next day lie was sick only
aboSt twenty four-hours.
The Boonville Pleader announces that Mrs,
Falls, wife of Mr.. n L. Falls, was struck and
instantly killed by lightning during the storm
Tuesday afternoon.
The Carthagenian announces the sudden
death of Rev. 0. II. p. Davis of Leake county.
At the time of his death DR.. Davis was 68
years old. He came to Mississippi when
quite young man. and was for time citi-

The National Health Board Super
ceded-An Unfortunate Proceeding.

At the late session of Congress the
U. S. Senate passed bill with the fol-
lowing provisions for protecting the
country against yellow fever:
"For quarantine service on the MississiP-
pi River, $4,000; for quarantine service
at Ship Island, $4,000; for quarantine ser
vice on Sapelo Sound, $4,000; for quaran-
tine service in Hampton Roads, $4,000 !;
for pay and expenses Of inspectors, $4,000 !;
for pay and expenses of Board, $1,000; for
printing bulletins, 5000; for clerks, mes
sengers and laborers, $4,000; for Secreta-
nv and disbursing agent, $500; for rent,
light and fuel, $500; for kilograms, $3.50 !;
for stationery, 81 ,000 for furniture, 500 /;
for miscellaneous expenses, $500.
The House refused to adopt this pro-
vision, and in lieu thereof the following
was finally agreed on, in addition to the
ST., 800 already mentioned for expenses
ofthe members, salary of the Secretary
and disbursing agent, pay of clerks and
rent, fuel, lights, ETC..
"And the President of the United States
is hereby authorized in case of a threatened
or act Ial epidemic to use sum not exceed
ing 100000 out of any money In the
Treasury not otherwise appropriated in aid
of State or local Boards or otherwise, in his
discretion, in preventing and suppresslng
the spread of the same.
"For aid to State and local Boards of
Health and to local quarantine stations in
,r- fIa5r nd
prevent the introduction and spread of con-
tagious and infectious diseases in the United
States, S2j, 900, provided that no other pub
lie money than that hereby appropriated
shall be expended for the purposes Of the
Board of Health, and provided, further,
that hereafter the duties and investigations
of the Board Of Health shall be confined toI
the disease of cholera smallpox and yellow
fever"
The amount named may prove to be
sufficient for the purposes indicated, but
the bill as passed has virtually super
coded the National Board, of Health
the President having decided ON the adj
vice ofthe Secretary Of the Treasury that
the money should be disbursed by the
Marine Hospital service, under direc-
ton Of Surgeon General Hamilton. IfI
the money had been placed at the dis
posal of the National Health Board, it
is evident that quarantine service would
have been continued at the places desig-
mated in the Senate bill, but it is not
understood what steps will be taken by
the new management to whom the i'm
portant service has been confded.
The virtual destruction of the
National Health Board composed of
civilians who were among the most emf
nent physicians in the country, is a
public calamity. The Board was crea-
ted by the law of 1879, and by its skill
full management, vigilance and activity,
the Board has succeeded in preventing
the introduction and spread Of the yell
low fever into the country. From jeal
ously of this Board of Civilians, it has
been thwarted in its work, and robbed
OF the machinery which it had devised
to carry it forward at a most critical
period when the country is most threat
ened with pestilential disease.

THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION.

IL obedience to numerOusly signed requests
addressed 10 the Executive, and my own con
yictions Of duty and propriety, | have deter
mined TO appoint a day Tor special thanksgiV-
ing and prayer. Blessings so signal and
abundant have been youchsafed to us as q
State and people, that a special recognition
of the same is appropriate and right. The
grain products of our fields have never been
more plentiful, assuring the poorest against
want giving "seed to the sOwer and bread TO
the eater" Other crops promise bountlful
harvest. Peace has reigned in all our borders
and prosperity has crowned the labors Of our
hands Pestilence has kept far from oar
dwellings, while the health Of the people has
been graciously preserved. Though losses
and calamity came upon our citizens along
our great river by the devastating floods, yet
they have been largely sweetened and sancti-
fed by national sympathy and relief. For all
these, homage should be gratefully rendered
to the Father of lights from whom cOmeth every
good and every perfect gilt,
Therefore, J. Robert Lowry, Governor Of the
State of Mississippi, do recommend that all
people observe
THURSDAY, THE 14TH DAY OF SEPTEMBER,
as day Of special and solemn Thanksgiving
and prayer, by intermitting as far as they
NAV their secular labors and assembling IN
their places of worship, to praise Almighty
God for His great goodness, and pray that
He may continue to vouchsafe the same to us
and u our children.
In witness whereof | have hereunto set
r., my hand and caused the Seal OF the
l. 81 State to be affixed.
Done at the Executive Office in the City of
Jackson this 10Th day of August, in the year
of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and
eighty-two, and of the Independence of the
United States, the one hundred and seventh.

TRIBUTE OF RESPECT.

| At meeting of Pearl Lodge No. 20, F. anG
A NJ. August ID, 1882 after concluding the
| funeral obsequies of our brother, JAMES 8
BARFIELD, committee was appointed to ex.
press the sentiment of the Lodge and the fol-
lowing is offered:
Resolred, That our deceased brother was
particularly epdeared to us, by our long and
intimate associations with him, extending
over period of more than quarter of a CEN
fury, the greater portion as a Mason, and
member of this Lodge.
His sentiment of liberality extended to the
whole family of man, and in practice was only
bounded by his means. Though by circum-
stances and his bodily infrmities, he was for a
long time debarred from associating with the
Lodge in its work, his sympathies we're ever
with the craft
In his course through life, his example is
worthy Of emulation.
He was consistent, courteous and kind,
"A friend-and his adoption tried"
Our sympathies are rendered to his surviv-
ing widow and relatives. We grieve with
them. Very respectfully submitted,

Ar the last session Of the q. S. Dis
trict Court at Oxford. some of the very
best young men of Clay county were
unjustly convicted of crimes against the
election laws. which they had never
committed. It was done upon false ties
timony. They were charged with tam
pering with the ballot box in 1880, and
were fined each $3.50. The people Of
Clay are generously making up the fines.
The ladies have taken the matter in
hand. We note that Mrs. Fred. Beall
and Others got up concert for their
benefit last week, and will get up
another soon. They are determined
that the young men shall not be the
sufferers. Their saving these prosecuted
young men from harm, is praiseworthy
in the highest degree.

University of the South.

A correspondent of the n. 0. Times-D Dem
ocrat gives an interesting account of the
recent Commencement exercises of this in
stitution, at Sewanee, Tenn, over which
the venerable Bishop Green continues to
preside as Chancellor Among other things
special mention is made of ''Lhe address be-
fore the literary societies of the Rev. I. F.
Gailor, the son of the late Major Gailor, of
Tennessee, which was a most finished, ee-
CANT and scholarly Grafton" 1t is also
mentioned that Mr. Gailor had been elected
to the Department of Ecclesiastical History
and Polity.
We note these references to this young
and rising scholar and clergyman because
he is native of Jackson, and the son of
Major Frank Gailor, who was connected
with our local press before the war. Major
Gailor came to Jackson from Lockport, N.
Y, in 1853, and while the True Witness
remained here was its business manager
After its removal to New Orleans, he started
daily paper, but the Office was destroyed
by fire after few issues He then removed
to Memphis, and was editorially connected
with the Avalanche, when the war broke
out. Our recollection is that he served as
division or corps quartermaster on Gen.
Hardees' staff, and that he was killed at the
battle of Perryyille, having assumed COM
mand of a regiment after nearly all its Off
GERS had fallen. Major Gailor was married
in this city to Miss Charlotte Mofat, and
his widow still resides in Memphis. We
are glad to see chat their son Tom is on the
road to eminence in high and holly call
ing. We hope he will some day visit the
home of his boyhood, where he will find
many to cordially greet him for his own
and his parents sake

Reply of Judge Chandler to Col.
Tyson.

CoRINTH, Miss, July 3, 1882.
My DEAR CoLoNEL:-I did not expect you t.
publish in the newspapers extracts from my
private letter without my consent, but if you
can afford it, | can. If your object was to
magnify your devotion to your party, and i'm
prove your political prospects, am gratifed
| that gave you chance to advertise that
maidenly difidence, that is so remarkable in
politician of your age, and at a time when
slavish adherance to party is not regarded as
one of the cardinal political virtues. If your
purpose was to injure Col. Muldrow in his can
vass for the nomination, l deprecate such re
suit, for am utterly impartial as between all
the candidates open or secret, for that nom
ination.
Your disclaimer of being the man wanted is
premature, as you will see when l explain
While l am a Republican on the great ma
tional questions of currency, tariff, inter
nal improvements, and the nationality of
the Government, l hold every question as
subordinate to pure elections; and, this is the
view of all Republicans, Greenbackers, indie
pendents, and of many Democrats; and, it is
believed that in the Northern part of this Con-
gressional district, where elections are usual
ly fair, many of the best men of all parties
have grown tired of the habitual prostitution
of the ballot in other counties, and would vote
accordingly with fair opportunity. Now,
the precise man wanted was one who would
offer that opportunity would fifty repre-
sent pure elections, not in mere professions,
but in fact and in truth and, if you are not
that man, then, indeed, a mistake was made,
and the high compliment of the invitation to
you, to lead the movement, is cheerfully with
drawn, with sincere regret that you do not
come up the high standard required.
AS | am in sense politician, looking
hopefully to the future. my political opinions
and affiliations are less important to the peo-
pie than you deem yours to be. But solely
for your delectation, will answer your in
quires ON one peint. Men who are sufficiently
devoted to law and order to enable them TO
shake off party for the public good, are
necessarily in favor of mitigating the evils of
drunkenness in any practical way; but if
our temperance refOrmers, as many eireum-
stances indicate, hold their movement as
subordinate to party unity and interest, when
the test comes to be made, as it will, it is con-
fdently believed that the liquor interest will
give the State a free and pure ballot, in re-
turn for the privilege of maintaining The bust
ness; and for one | shall follow the banner
that bears in good faith the motto of fair cleo
tons and an honest count of the votes.
Yours very truly,
e. G. CHANDLER
