Durable and Ineurable.

In Beckford's Hall Of E5ls, the crowd il
represented as running around, each man
with an incurable wound in his bosom, and
agrees not to speak of it. How many there
are all around us that have the painful and
wearisome SYMPTOMS ofkidney or liver dis
ease, but are kept by false delicacy from
speaking of it. But the disease is restrained
by no such delicacy, but silently and insidi-
ously works on in the dark, until the patient
is compelled to call in aid. How much
better to take it in time, and to secure
Hunts Remedy, the great kidney medicine,
and give the disease its death blow in its
very beginning. This is the one medicine
that can search out, and root out, every i'll
of kidneys or liver, and that cures cases
that seem incurable.

We are gratifed to be able TO state
that Mr.. J. B. Yellowly denounees the
report that he is a supporter and adVo-
cate of the color-line candidate as libel
Ious and false. He authorizes the state
ment that he was announced as ascot
ate political editor of the American Cit
izen without his knowledge, consent OF
approval. He says, moreover, that he
is advertised tor an address at Canton
next Saturday in behalfof the color-line
candidate without his knowledge or con-
sent, and that so far from speaking on
that occasion and in that behalf he does
not propose to give countenance to it by
his presence.
Every white man in the District, and
particularly his neighbors have who Civ
en- him their confidence and regard, will
rejoice to know that Mr.. Yellowly does
not propose to lend his influence, his
name and character to the crew which
has waged and is now waging ceaseless
war upon the peace of the white peo'
pie of this District.
As we go to press, the word comes
that Judge Downs and Mr.. Russell Of
the editorial corps of the American
Citizen, the color-line mouth-piece al
Canton, have severed their connections
with that venal sheet.

What Is the Eject Of the Present
Tariff on Commerce..


To ask this question is to answer it.
Our foreign carrying trade under It's In
fuenee has practically ceased to exist.
In 1855, four hundred vessels we're built
IN the United States, mostly for foreign
trade in 1879, thirtyseven, nearly
all for cOasting trade. In 1855, IS per
cent, of our exports and imports we're
carried in American vessels; in 1880,
scarcely II per cent. A distinguished
commodore IN our navy told me recent
ly when he made his voyage in 1857,
more than half the vessels he saw in
the South American ports carried the
flag, while on the last voyage to the
same port two years ago, he did not see
the American flag except upon vessels
owned by the government. So COM
pletely has this carrying trade passed
from our control that in 1880 we paid
1925, 900, 900 TO foreign ship owners for
carrying our own products to foreign
ports. At this rate it is a question only
of short time when the American flag
viii entirely disappear from the high
seas. For all this protection is almost
the sole cause. By senseless navigation
laws, by prohibiting the registration of
foreign-built ships, and by enhancing
the price of all materials which enter
into ship building, the protective sys-
tenn has accomplished this result

Fatal Accident.

We regret to learn of the death of Mr..
George AlcOrn of this city, at Holly Springs
on Sunday morning last, caused by the ac-
cidental discharge of shotgun. George
was son of Judge Alcorn, of our city, and
had resided in Jackson for number Of
years, when he made many warm friends,
who sincerely regret his death. He was
buried at Grenada yesterday. His family
and friends have the sympathy Of the entire
community.

We visited McComb City last Saturday,
and had the pleasure of meeting Mayor Ba-
denhausen to whom we are indebted for
much interesting information respecting the
extent Of the smallpox now prevailing at
Algiers, and the means used to prevent its
spread At that time Is cases were report
ed, confined to the district referred to,
which has population of about 40 persons,
all or nearly all colored. No communica-
ton is allowed between the infected district
and the town, and for the better protection
Of the healthy persons a pest-house was
erected some time ago, and another is being
built. The most strenuous efforts are made
to stamp out the disease before the approach
of cold weather, and with every appearance
of success, vaccination being performed By
DR.. @. Hoover, appointed By the State Board
of Health; and perhaps by other physicians,
though of this we speak from supposition
only.
We congratulate the citizens Of McComb
and the county generally upon the energetic
manner ID which the Mayor and Selectmen
are dealing with the disease, and trust their
efforts will meet with success and hearty
appreciation. The condition of the commu-
nifty thus separated from the world ii wor-

employment, and without means, they are
entirely dependent on charity for support.

ADDRESS OF THE CHAIRMAN OF THE Ex-
ECUTIvE COMMITTEE.
FELLOW CITIzENs:-The campaign is
upon us. Its Importance cannot be overes-
timated, involving as it does, issues which
appeal directly to you and demand at your
hands prompt and decisive action. You
are again confronted by that party which
you overthrow, as unworthy of place
and power, in 1875. The same principles,
the same causes, which impelled you then,
should actuate and unite you now. The
memories of the past and the hopes of the
future, conjure you to stand together and
to do your duty now as then. There is no
middle ground No citizen, be he Green
hacker, Independent or Democrat, who will
for a moment reflect on what is involved in
this canvass, can hesitate as to what his
duty is. Do not underestimate the strength
of your adversary. The Republican party,
for it is that we have to fight, has nominal
ed one of its strongest men, while the Dem
ocrats have put forward statesman of en-
larged and liberal views, the very synonym
of honor, chivalry and patriotism. "Look
on this picture and then on that" Can a
Mississippian, who has the interest of his
country at heart, hesitate which of the two
TO choose; which to cast his ballot for,
Barksdale or Hill? No, God Forbid Ma
jor Barksdale, the Democratic standard
bearer, will in few days canvass Rankin
county, notice of which will be given.
Turn out to hear him and decide for your
sci yes.
Remembering that in organization there
is strength, ard without it we can accom-
plish brit little, the executive committee
advise that the Democratic clubs be reorgan.
lied, and new clubs formed whenever occas-
ion offers. To those who have in the past
seen proper to differ with us politically, we
would say, this is fight in which we can
and should unite, and under the broad folds
of the Democratic banner, once again beat
down the hydra-head of Radicalism.

Rev. Dr. Price, late of Vicksburg, having
just entered upon his duties as Vice-Chan-

OF whom are candidates for the ministry.
About twenty-five of the Students are from
Mississippi, dozen from Texas, and all the
Southern States, except Georgia, are repre-

ing care ofsix Synods, and is steadily accu-
mulating an endowment fund, which already
amounts to about $4,000. That this will
be increased to one million, in few years,
we have no doubt.
Our young townsman, Mr.. John Fl. Boyd,
contributed much to the pleasure of our
brief visit After this year at the Univer-
sity, he will take full course at one of the
Theological Seminaries, and will then enter
into the ministry. Mrs. Askew, formerly
of Jackson "a sister of Mrs DR.. Knapp,
and Mrs. Wagner, of Water Valley, are
sojourning in GAINESVILLE for the education
of their children. They could not have
selected place where all the advantages
the social, moral and religious surroundings
can be surpassed.

Why, look at the county of Madison, nine
tenths Of the Republican Executive Com
mittee are negro school teachers, and avail
ing themselves of the leisure which the
money paid them by the white people gives
them, are assiduously endeavoring to over
throw the Democratic party, and teaching
the damnable doctrine Of negro supremacy
Now, we have patiently borne this for near
~ ten years, and is il not high time to put
an end to it? If we must pay this money
to educate the negro, let US select teachers
who are not inimical to our people. Let us
not furnish the sinews of war to the enemy
Let US not hire agents to cut our threats
and pay them our money for doing it. Let
Us teach them that they cannot be color-line
politicians and public school teachers at the
same time. Let US tender to them the same
choice which the Republican party has ten
dered to the Democracy, in other words, let
Us fight the devil with little of his own
FIRE.

Matrimonial Insurance AGENTS.

We have the authority Of Attorney-Gen-

Insurance. agents are liable to the State tax
of ten dollars. As there are about Eve
hundred in the State at this time, the tax
would yield quite a revenue, il collected.
Agents have found the business quite profit
able, and it is presumed none would retire
from it because of this triHe for the priyi-
lsge Of legally prosecuting it.

The speech of Major Barksdale at Sharon
ON Thursday last was a magnificent success,
and the crowd that listened to him was
large in numbers and larger still in genuine
enthusiasm. The unterrifed Democracy
of Sulphur Springs and Lone Pine swelled
the ranks of the already large club of Sharon
until it looked like the whole county had
gathered there to listen to the eloquent adj
dress of our gallant standard-bearer. We
had already known Sharon and vicinity
were remarkable for the hospitality of her
citizens, the beauty of her daughters and
the gallantry of her sons, but henceforth
we must write her down as the stronghold
of the unterrifed Democracy. II, when
the election returns begin to come in from
other parts Of the county, the prospect
should be gloomy, all we have to say is
"wait till you hear from the Mighty East. "

Good Advice to the colored People

Senator George, according to the
Brandon Republican, in his speech at
that place, gave good advice to the col
ored people. 1t says che urged them
to go with US and help elect honest and
capable men to office, and assured them
that their rights should be protected,
but if they were determined to stick to
the pale faced villains who had robbed
them, and go to hell with them, they
could not expect his company. He had
worked for them and spoke for them,
and now they could do as they pleased.
They were free and had the right to go
to the devil if they wished. Jim Hill
was running on the colored line, and he
knew as much about the duties of a
Congressman, as he did of the plans of
the Deity"

The truth might as well be told. The
feeling of race differences is one of the
strongest Of all that animate the human
soul, and the negro is no more accept
able to the white people Of the North
than of the South, and it is folly to
send negro to Congress composed Of
whites legislating for a country, only a
small portion of whose population are
negroes. A negro Senator or Repre-

as he may compose one of party and
count as such. No selfrespecting
white man can vote for negro when
the race issue is distinctly made, and
votes are sought for a negro or mulattc
simply because be is such.

The opinion is gaining ground daily that
the negro school teachers are consuming too
much of their valuable time with partisan
ploitics. A school teacher ought to attend
that, and if be neglects his duties he should
be turned neck and crop out OF his position,
and his place given to another who has
better idea of making his profession respec-
table and useful. Lord, deliver US from one
of these "slang-Whanging" negro school
teachers whether he be Republican or al
Democrat.
