Gen. y. "a. Clarke, who was q dis
tinauished soldier in the Union army,
after a recent visit to the South, has
the following. and a good deal more, to
say favorable 10 our section and peo-
pie. "The South Of to-day presents to
the view a situation, which, in social,
political and commercial respects is
truly encouraging to the non.partisan
and progressive citizen"
"To the man or woman who goes
South to-day, carrying and maintain
ing the spirit of "justice to all" and
whose honest intentions to benefit the
country of their adoption, are shown
by their works there is the most hos
pitable welcome; and this, without in
quiry as to, or consideration
Of the political antecedents of
the comeI." "The man who labors
for the attainment of the best interests
of his fellows, as the true method of
enhancing his own will find no more
congenial place than the South of to-
day"
"The bitter enmities, the hostilities
and prejudices that once made the
sunshine land an unpleasant residence
must to-day be sought for alone in the
graveyards and cemeteries"
Loyalty to the Union, as COM
plete Union, is as ferveDt and real in
the South as in any section"
Capital ,Ilaboring under long and an
told disadvantages and reverses in the
North and East, is now seeking the
rich harvGsts possible in the manu-
factories, the mines and fertile fields
disclosed by the New South"
"The placing Of capital is the act Of
intelligent selection, and the building
Of cotton mills, and sugar refneries,
the development of coal and iron mines,
the erection of lumber mills, and
factories throughout the South are the
bona fde guarantees of the stability
Of healthy business conditions"
"The legal rights of blacks
are as carefully protected as
those of the whites. The blacks nc
longer vote as a driven honds, nor dc
they longer look to the "carpetbagger'
for leadership. Grace issue is dead and
without tombstone" "In the South
of to-day the promises of the best
possible conditions Of social, politica
and commercial affairs could not bt
brighter or more hopeful" These arr
the opinions, honestly spoken, Of al
honest Northern man, one who tough
us in battle, whose heart is not gan
greened from old sores.EThey are tn
words of atrue and patriotic American
citizens. John Sherman and Estates
men" Of his measure, should read th
the aboye-possibly it might sickel
them and they would die.

4 VOLUME OF POEMS BY a
MISSISSIPPI WOMAN,

We have before us "Ina Greenwood,
or Life Mysteries, and other poems" I"
beautifully bound book, by Mrs. Vir-
ginia Frantz, of Brandon.
We are agreeably surprised at the
volume of poems although we know
Mrs. Frantz to be poetess of high
merit and have read many of her pro-
ductions before they were published
in book form. We had no idea of the
extent Of her writings, and we are de-
lighted with Gina Greenwood" the
leading piece in the volume. 1t has a
high moral aim, and is real poetry.
The wider it is circulated, more
especially among the young, the more
good it will do.
We have not space for a careful re-
view of this volume by a Mississippi
woman, but we cannot close this short
notice, without asking those who en-.
joy poetry to buy it and read it. The
price is 81 in Brandon where it is for
sale, or it will be sent by mail for
$2.15 to any address.

OUR Louisiana and Mississippi ex-

to have reproduced these kind words,
but our newspaper friends can see that

space just at this time. We hope all
our fellows of the press, who can pos
sibly do SO. will encourage us with
their presence.

THE VIRGINIA. AND NEW YORK
ELECTIONS.

Democratic success in both Of these
States is equal to, if not in excess Of
the hopes Of the most sanguine. The
tr.umphal march Of Fitzhugh Lee
through the Old Dominion, the cayal-
cades, with flags and banners, that ac.
companied him, the waving of hand
kerchiefs, the smiles of fair women,
the shower of boquets that greeted
him on every side, were the harbin-
gers, the tokens OF a victory presaged
by the laws of all justice and right.
The question in Virginia was not so
much the debt question, for, whichever
party had won the creditors will lose.
1t was question Of personalities
question as to men, and whether or
not Malone and his henchmen, or,
honest, fair-minded and patri-
otic men should control the
State. In New York, while it was
hoped that Hill and the balance of the
Democratic ticket would receive a
decided majority, yet, disaffection in the
party, wrangling over local questions
and candidates in New York City; the
discontinue of what is known as the
Mugwump element, and the Indepen-
dents, and the popularity, personally
of some Of the opposition candidates,
at times, begat feeling of anxiety,
and many Democrats were in doubt
about their party carrying the State at
all. That these doubts were not well
founded the returns fully show. Had
New York gone for the opposition it
would not necessarially have followed
that the Presidential question three
years hence would have been settled.
The great State of New York with her
commercial and financial interests SO
interviewer with the South and so
dependent on good government and
peaceful relations between the sections,
isin Democratic line nationally, and,
to stay, no matter what may be the
dissensions that disturb its indiYidu-
ality.

Benjamin Drake Magruder, who was
elected, on Tuesday last, Justice of the
Supreme Court Of Illinois, to fill va
cancy caused by the death Of Justice
T. Lyle Dickey, is a Mississippi boy.
He is the eldest son of Prof. W. H. N.
Magruder, distinguished educator,
Of Baton Rouge, La, and the nephew
of the LITE DR.. Leonard Magruder, Of
Vicksburg, once so well and favorably
known to many Of our older citizens.
Judge Magruder began the practice Of
law in Chicago, just before the out
break Of the war, and attained to en-
inence in his profession. lie was
never partisan, but was nominated
by the Republicans, the Democrats
concurring in the nomination. He is
first cousin of Hon. E. s. Drake, Of

WE print this morning a novel ic.
titious petition to the English House
of Commons for protection. The logic
and satire apply with equal force in
this country. The next great fight in
this country will be for a reformation
of the war tariff and our State should
fall in line with the other great agri-
cultural sections of the Union-the
unprotected sections.

JOHN SHERMAN and Foracre and
men of their character say, "that in
order to purify the ballot of the South,
if necessary, the vote shall be taken
from the RegrO"-thus proposing to
decrease the Southern vote over half a
million and the number of Southern
Congressman some forty or more.
These fellows are over -pious, they
have political religion in their souls at
too late a day. They are like the
foolish Virgins, they did not have oil
in their lamps, and their lamps trimmed
and burning at the right time, say
about the time Rutherford B. Hayes
was placed in an Office to which
Samuel J. Tilden ha d been elected and
to which he was legally entitled.

LET us hope that the defeat of the
Republicans in New York, and the
overthrow of Malone in Virginia, and
the Republican losses, elsewhere, last

prove a tonic and stimulus to our

Should this glorious patriot, statesman
