HOLLY SPRINGS, Miss, September 15.-
The political event OF this week in this city
was the Republican meeting in the court
house on last Monday, which Endorsed Han
nibsl C. Carriers candidacy for Congress on
the Independent Stalwart ticket. 1t will be
remembered that at CsrteT's former meeting
here the house was packed with the heuch-
men of Buchanan, Mahon, and other white
leaders of the negroes, and that at the close
of Carriers speech series of resolutions de-
nouncing him with great bitterness were
adopted but at this last meeting, which was
quite large, he seems to have overcome the
opposition. 1t was composed almost wholly
of his followers, and they manifested as
much enthusiasm in his support as the for
mer meeting had done against him. He
spoke for three and half hours, and was
terribly severe in his denunciation Of Chal-
mers, whose record he dissected with copsid-
cradle skill, and declared him to be utterly
unworthy the support of Republicans, white
or black. He was equally severe upon the
Democratic candidate, and denounced the
Bourbons almost as fercely as Chalmers did
last year the Democratic soreheads and back
sliders. At the conclusion of his speech, res
olutions strongly condemning Chalmers were
unanimously adopted

The frst hais-e cotton brought to this city
this season was by Harry Walton, who cold
it to J. T. Hall at thirteen cents a pound.
1t was shipped TO Allen, West & Bush, of
New Orleans. The second bale was brought
in by Mr.. Ed Mckinney, and sold TO Bern
helm & Schriver for twelve and half
cents pound. These are good prices, and
the planters will do well to get their cotton
in as soon as possible in order to take advan-
tage of them.
