CHOOSE YE BErwEEN THEa.

The gubernatorial contest has been mar.
rowed down between Bate and Hawkins. In.
deed this has been the issue since the opening
Of the canvass. No sensible man new believes
that Russell stands the chest of a chance for
an election. Such a result is impossible, be-
cause it is unnatural. When the two great
political parties confront each other, boilers
and candidates on side issues are almost uni
versally deserted, and it will be 30 in this
contest. In every part of the State leading
men, who understand popular sentiment,
unite in the opinion that RUSSELL will not
carry a single county in the State. Most Of
his entire strength in the State is confined to
Davidson, Maury and Montgomery counties.
But no one now claims that he will carry
either of these three counties. On Saturday
last Senator Jackson announced that he un-
quesiionably preferred the election of Bate
TO that OF Hawkins, and since his can
didate is out of the race why cast a vote
that contributes to the election of Hawkins
and the defeat OF Bate? Hawkins called an
extra session of the Legislature and rushed
the passage Of the sixty-and- six bill through
the Legislature, in defiance of the protest of
the people, for the cole purpose Of dividing
the Democratic party and thereby securing a
reelection as governor. The Democrats of
Tennessee are certainly too shrewd to be
tricked by the schemes concocted by Haw-
kins to divide the Democratic party. The
Democrats united can elect Bate by a major.
ity Of 10000 or 10000. In concluding his
recent great speech the Hon. A. II. Stephens,
the Democratic candidate for governor Of
Georgia, said:

prolonged applause
The same appeal applies to the Democrats
OF Tennessee. There is bitter opposition 10
Stephens in Georgia. But the Democrats
who opposed his nomination did not bolt.
They did not call another convention, call
themselves ~sky-blues and ~inaugurate a gan
vass which ~endsngers the election of Ste
pheus. Like sensible men and good Demo-
Gratis they acquiesced in the will of the
majority, and Georgia is no longer menaced
with the return of Radical rule. Now that
it is demonstrated that RUSSELL is out of the
race, all true Democrats will rally to the
support of Bate. Every vote cast for FusseIl
is a vote for Hawkins. The contest is be-
tween Democrats and Republicans. Choose
We between them.

man who has been nominated by the Straight.
, out Republicans, is supported by Republican
o~fice-holders and would-be office-holders,
with some exceptions, here and in Missis-
sippi.
Thu Star says: ga meeting of Republicans
was held last evening at the residence OF
Mrs. Chisholm, of Mississippi, in this city,
to tender support and sympathy to the Hon.
II. G. Carter, the Republican candidate for
Congress in the Second Congressional dis
trict of that State, against the Independent
and Democratic candidates, Chalmers and
Manning, and to consult in regard to proper
measures for raising funds 10 aid him in his
canvass"
The meeting was presided over by the
Hon. George E. Harris, ex-attorney-general
OF Mississippi. Indignation was expressed
in regard to the course pursued by certain
Republican managers of that district in
forcing upon the party General Chalmers,
who has always been a pronounced enemy Of
the Republican party. A committe was ap-
pointed to solicit funds and further the OBJ
jects OF the meeting.
There is at least one prominent Mississippi
Republican who does not share the opinions
of his party friends. He considers Carter as
much of a Bourbon, for the time being, as
Manning, and looks upon him as a sort OF an
auxiliary of that distinguished Democrat.
Taking the administration view of it, he
thinks that it would be better to elect Chal-
mers, a Liberal, rather than Carter, a Bour-
bon Republican. All the same he fears that
all his efforts will be in vain. He thinks it
probable that Manning will succeed, slipping
In between Carter and Chslmers. He thinks
that the only Republicans, pure and simple,
who will be returned from Miasissippi this
fall will be Collector Hill in the Jackson
olstricl anu 7enorus III tue onoe-HtlinS dls-
trict.
He said to-day: "By the National census
the Republicans ought to carry every dis
trict in Mississippi but one. By the State
census the Democrats ought to carry every
district but one. In the Vicksburg district"
he added, "for instance, Lynch has by the
State census 800 majority against him, and
by the national census 1000 majority in his
favor. The probability is that his Demo-
cratic competitor will get the governors GER

HOMETOWN. Miss, September 1.-THE daily
showers and occasional heavy rains of the
past three weeks threaten very serious damage
to the growing cotton crop. Already on our
beat lands the weed is so rank and luxuriant
that all the abottom CROP will rot. Apromi-
nent farmer, who is cultivating a rich bottom
plantation, said to-day that his cotton was as
high as a man on horseback, and where a
month ago he promised himself a bale per
acre he now would gladly compromise ON
one-half. Continued dry weather hereafter
would, however, much improve the outlook
but for the cotton caterpillar, that made its
appearance here about the 9th of August
and is not confined to any particular local

cotton worm is perfected in from tventy-one

OF the present damp weather, which is favor
able to their propagation, we may safely
predict their temperance between the 18th
and 10th of September in sufficient numbers
to destroy the entire foliage of the crop.
Under such contingency of course the dam
age to the crop will be very great, as the
crop is on an average three weeks later han
usual. No matter how favorable the fall
may be hereafter, / am sorry to say the fat
tering reports of big cotton crops, which

apply to this section OF country. Picking

TEE New York Herald says that Eff the
Cameron machine in Pennsylvania, the
Blaine machine in Maine, the Tammany
machine in this city, the Cornell machine
n the administration machine in this State
were utterly destroyed to-day there would
still be as many local and general organiza-
tions az any party needs, and each party
could express its will at primaries, at con-
v~entions and at the polls, instead Of being
tricked into approving whatever may best
suit the personal purposes of the various
bosses" The Democratic party of the CITY
of New York have repudiated both Kelly
and Tammany, and under the legitimate
organization known as the "County Democ-
racy" propose to make a final contest against
bossism. As to the Republican party of
New York it has always been under the con-
troll OF bosses and always will. In this it
follows the lead of the National Republican
party, which just now is bossed by Arab
Hnbbell, "Secor" Robson and his man Fri
day, Speaker Keller. The Democratic party
nowhere tolerates or encourages bosses.

This summary shows an increase, there
fore, for a single month, OF no less than 1874
miles of new main track laid upon seventy
different lines in thir;y-two of the States and
Territories. This exceeds by more than 300
miles the large increase OF mileage which we
reported for. July, which it was thought
would not probably again be equsled. After
making some slight corrections in previously
reported figures and deducting mileage,
which proved to have been laid in the pre-
vious year, we have now a record of no less
than 704S miles of new track laid on 238
lines thus far in 1881 period OF eight
months. There still remain four months,
three of which are likely TO be very favora-
BILE TO railway construction, and if the average
for the past eight months is maintained the
new mileage added during 1882 will be over
I0,500 miles, while if the average of the last
few months il continued it will be considera-
bly, greater even than this. OF the severity
roads reported upon in August, thirty had
not previously LAID any track this year. The
number of lines on which tracklaying has
been in progress this year, and is still unfn-
ished, is not far from 200, SO that there is
reason TO expect a large addition to the new
mileage before the year ends.

to accept that in order to avoid a split in the

that time. He also admitted that as between
Bate and Hawkins, he would vote for Bate.

that Bate is the representative of the Demo
