candidates for nominations by the
Democratic party of Warren county.
There are Legislators, Supervisors,

exercise the right Of citizenship; and to
aspire to hold Office, why that IL

WE print this morning a communi-
cation from a prominent colored man
to the colored people. We do this in
the hope that it will cause influential
colored men to reflect on the situation,
and influence a large number of them
to support the Democratic ticket. They
will never know what real freedom is
until they break away from the tyrany
of prejudice and bossism. They have
been the means of Radical bosses
making vast sums Of money, and that
is all the said bosses care for them
The Democrats are educating theil
children, and it is a poor return, to SCI
the colored citizens doing everything
they can against the true interests o
both races.

WLRE c-oMNTNTcATI0N WITE
THE VALLEY.

We stated a few days since that the
Western Union Telegraph Company
would soon run its line into GFeenville,
but there are some arrangements to
be made with the Vicksburg and
Greenville Telegraph Company before
1t can be done. The latter company
has a contract with the Western Union,
by which the latter is not to run its
lines into Greenville, or compete with
the Vlcksburg and Greenyille company
for twenty-five years. Therefore the
Vicksburg and Greenville Company
should be satisfied before the
Western Union Company can
enter Greenville, A solution of the
difficulty has been suggested to Us,
which we think will meet with appro-
val by the two companies and the citi-
zens. The Y. & G. Co., already have
a contract with the Levee Board for a
telephone line from Greenville to Sun.

if the Board would make a similar
contract with 1t South to some point
at or near the terminus of the line, it
u,ouId tban ha in a condition RI rnvnkn
the contract with the w. U. Company,
which could then run its line to Green
vile. That arrangement would give
the Levee board quick and cheap com.
munication with all points, and the
public facilities for rapid transmission
of news in all the Valley north of
Sunhower Landing on the Mississippi
River.

z DEMOCRATS.

The Radical bosses are charged open
" on the streets with trying to run the
democratic party Of this county. Well
informed and reliable people assure US,
there can no longer be any doubt, that
Il q the game Of the bosses Who have
crown rich of the tax payers, to divide
theparty by any influence at their COM
mand. It cannot be denied that some
Democrats are opposing and working
against the reorganization Of the
party, at the very time that the Radi-
Gals themselves feel that Democratic
nominations are equivalent to an cleo
ton. 1t is undoubted, If the party
protects its standard-bearers from the
corrupt use Of money by the other
side. that it can elect every man on its
ticket. That it will do this is guaran-
iced by the ablest and clearest-headed
Democrats in the city and county. It
will doubtless publicly announce in the
coming convention, that the poorest
Democrat shall hereafter haye'an equal
with the richest Radical, and
forever silence the insulting declara-
ton that citizens of Warren county
can be bought up like cattle, and that
office holding is only a question OF
money. These practices are demoraliz-
ing in the extreme and if not stopped
will ruin the youth of the county.
Many Of the colored voters already
estimate their votes by dollars
and cents, and vote brokers have
grown to be a criminal nuisance. 1t
Is the duty Of the Democratic party
to reform all this, and the work should
be well begun to-day. Every Demo-
crat in the county, from the most in
duential, to those who only ask to be
instructed how to aid the county,
turn out to the club meetings,
and proclaim the equal right Of the
poorest with the richest, other things
being equal, to hold Office, and denounce
the illegal, corrupt and demoralizing
use of money in Warren county.

The banquet to the Southrons, was
a successful affair in every respect.
The ladies from our sister county of
Washington were right CALAMITY
entertained, and their beauty, grace
and wit will be long cherished in the
hearts of the soldier boys. Let US
hope, that the recent mingling Of our
citizens with those Of the Valley, is
only the beginning. Our interests are
identical and it should be our
aim to bring our citizens
to know each other better. Our
gallant soldiers have done us a great
service in showing how easily the peo-
pie of the Hill City and the Valley can
be brought to cultivate the closest re-
lations.
In the Fall we hope to see Vicksburg
get up some field sports that will bring
here all of our Valley friends. Should
that be done the beauty Of the Valley
will be especially invited to come here
and make c%onquests.

MTssTssLPPTPO LTTTcs.

All the signs point plainly to the
nomination by the Democrats and the
reelection Of Gov. Lowry. Public
sentiment is very fast concentrating
upon him, because he has proven a
faithful and an efficient Executive, but
especially because the charges alleged
against him have proven upon investi.
cation to be untrue. He has borne
himself through all the trials put
upon him by his enemies with becom.
ing dignity and reserve and has only
spoken when directly questioned by
members of the press DESTROYS Of lay
ing all the facts before an anxious
public. The peoples sympathies were
given Gov. Lowry the mo-
ment his enemies initiated their
policy Of traduction and abuse, and
county after county has instructed
their delegates to the State Convention
for him, determined that a majority Of
the Democratic party shall, by their
votes, vindicate by such a vote of con-
idence as a nomination implies, the
fair fame of the first citizen of the
State. AS a court of the last resort
the final court Of appeals of the Dem.
ocratic party of Mississippi, the State
Convention from present appearance
will pronounce Gov. Lowry every way
worthy the confidence CT his fellow
citizens and worthy to be again in
trusted with the duties of the Execu
tive of the State.-Memphis Appeal

THE SECRETARY OF THE IN
TERROR.

Mr.. Lamar has not been in robust
health for some time, and some of the
Republican papers charge that he is
unequal to the labor required of him
as Secretary of the Interior. We think
it very probable, that from just such
talk, Mr.. Lamar has overtaxed his
strength. He should not attempt
more than any gentleman can easily
perform. He should have plenty OF
capable assistants, and not at
tempt to work like a dray
mule. He should go off ant
not return until he is well again, ant
then guard carefully against trying tt
do too much work. The whole countr!
estimates his craftsmanship too highl.
for him to descend to the drudgery o
a mere clerk.

MIR. Hendricks Highly Pleased witt
His New England Visit.

Mr. H9ndrlCkS highly PIeaSed with
His New England Visit.
Special to the Times-Democrat.
WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE warm
reception recently accorded Vice-Pres-
ident Hendricks in New England has
made a deep impression on that dis
tinguished gentleman. He dwellS on
it in conversation with his friends, and
extols the Yankee character to the skies.
He regrets that he was not sooner
brought into intimate contact with the
New England people, and now that he
has met them he will not be long, he
declares, in paying them another visit.
He may do so indeed before the sum-
mer is over.
If this spirit of opposition can be
changed into one of admiration and
support it is to be done. The friends
of MI. Hendricks credit him with the
power Of pleasing to a very great de-
gree, and this they are DESTROYS of see
ing freely exercised on the sturdy sons
of Puritan soil. The relief is that the
effect will be observable In the next
Democratic National Convention, when
regardless of the diplomatic protests
he is now INDUCING in when the sub.
iect is mentioned, his name will I'm.
doubtedly he presented for the first
place on the ticket.
This recently conceived admiration
for New England, and this expressed
determination to know her people ever
better, will attract attention as coming
from Mr.. Hendricks. 1t is a section
of the country where heretofore he has
had no political following. In no one OF
the National Conventions where his
name has been proposed for the Presi,
dency has any support ever come tc
him from New England. He has in.
variably been left to struggle along
with his Western and Southern friends
until the combination to beat him was
formed, and into this every time New
England, it was found, had entered.

H INDICATIONS.

The Redbone Club has spoken in no
uncertain sound. 1t unanimously IA
vors a nominating convention, and
there is not a doubt, that the Demo-
Gratis will carry the whole of the lower
end of the county for the nominees of
the party. He is a fool indeed who
cannot see that, as plainly as it can be
seen, that the nominees of the party in
the State will be elected. Every indi-
cation points to an almost universal
sentiment in favor of thorough organ
izAtion, strict discipline, strong, popu-
lar nominations, a short, sharp cam
paign, and a glorious and valuable vic
tory,
Let us refer to other indications be-
sides those furnished by the club, that
has already spoken. We printed, in
THE COMMERCIAL HERALD yesterday,
a card signed by about 275 Democrats,
pledging Mr.. D. N. Hebron their sup
port, subject to the action of a Demo
cratic Convention. These men favor
Convention, or they would not put
themselves in a false position, by sign
ing such a card. Allowing that Cap
tain Worrell and Mr.. Allen have only
as strong a following, and we have
nearly 900 Democrats favoring nomi'
nations, with the vast army to hear
from, that never expresses a preference
until the clubs meet and all the candi
dates are in the field. The man WHIT
doubts the sentiment of the masses o.
! the party must be under strange in
huences. Look at the large an(

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 8. 1881.

publish. Very truly,
WASHINGTON, D. c., March 8. 1881.
Ny DEAR SIR-I do not like to ia
trude my opinions unasked for upon
members of the Legislature.
l agree with you in thinking "local
option" laws of very doubtful constitu-
tionality, and positive inexpediency.
As l understand them they submit a
a law to popular vote, in local districts,
and this defeats the principle of our
government, which is representative
in its character, and places the whole
law-making power and discretion in
the Legislature and not in the people
in their mere numerical force and
primary capacity.
If punishment of criminals was to
be adjudged and inflicted by "local
option" instead of through acts of
Legislature executed by judges and
iuries, it would be held wholly at
variance with our theory of govern
ment, and yet to apply such a rule to
SO widespread and daily a habit as the
use of alcoholic or fermented beverages
is in my Judgment quite as unsafe.
So far as my experience goes, a well
regulated system of licenses, whereby
revenue is largely brought into the
public treasury, coupled with severe
penalties for illicit sale, has proved the
most efficient check upon the abuse OF
the liquor traffic.
In many respects the question Is
sumptuary one, and laws attempting
to establish s%umptuary regulations be-
come inquisitorial and impossible o.
execution, so that in those Gommuni
ties in this country where they havC
been enacted, they have either aggra
waited the evil they were intended tt
prevent, or have fallen into contemp
and usefulness, and been repealed.
The statements l have seen Of tn
real condition of those communities il
which total prohibition has been at
tempted, have impressed me yer,
strongly in confirmation of thes
views.
Personal influence and example an
precept, and the recognition of tn
great truth that intemperance in tn
use of stimulants of all kinds is
morbid physical fact both in cause an
effect, is, in my judgment, the prope
view to commence with. Statistic
abundantly prove that the attempte
suppression by statutes of the use
alcoholic stimulants is accompanie
by an increase in the use Of opiates
and that open drinking being stoppe'
secret drinking ensues.
1 do not believe any man has a grea
er horror of intemperance than Ian
my appreciation of its dangers an
evil effects grows with my experient
of human affairs; but the graver IL
evil, the more essential to apply Il
: right principle to its cure, and for IL
reasons 1 have stated and many other
l hope the experiment of "local option
will not be tried by our legislature, b
{ increased checks under the license sy
: tenn be continued.
Yours sincerely, 7. T. BAYARD

The Evening Post thinks every
thing will continue lovely, if the Dem
ocrats will only Internationally sur.
render. If that is done, it fears the
desperate Radicals will erupt the whole
trade and planting interests of the
county. Why does it never occur to
our neighbor, that the Radical bosses
who have made enough in office in our
county might step asideS If less than
a half dozen Radical leaders in this
county will Just retire to private life,
there will not be the least excitement
and whether they do or not there will
be very little. The people know their
rights and want no advice from a pa
per, that will not cooperate with
them.
