Judge Simrsll 10 making serious blunoer In
declaring his purpose to try and demofahze
the democratic forces in every county ne
has declared bis purpose TO canvass every
county in the district He has the unques-
TONED right to do that but the people VINO
have the good of the district at heart and the
welfare and progress of both races, have the
unquestioned right not to countenance sucn
a canvass and not to encourage mlschievou'
generalization. We feel sure that Will DC
their decision, and il would be probably wei,
for Judge Simrall to ask himself II II wouia
not be the wise course on his part DOT 10 at
tempt to force himself on the Intelligent Peo'
pie to the manifest contempt OF their WISHES
They have enthusiastically and almost unan-
;monslv decided upon General Catchings /;
they don't care to hear any discussion OF the
one great interest that General Catchings has
40 ABLY battled for, and there can be no earth
Iy reason for any attempt to arouse the LABOR
ing classes in the busiest season OF the year
Now who il Judge Simrall. who Is thus
warned by the leading democratic newspaper
10 his district that he Withdraw from cahdi-
dacy 10 which he was called bv the unani-
nous voice of a representative convention OF
his party? He is a native of Mississippi; ne
is man of properly, of high reputation ana
irreproachable character, who enjoys the re-
spect and confidence of all respectable ana
law abiding citizens; he is lawyer ut great
ability, who for years adorned the bench OF
the highest judicial tribunal in his native
State. But he is republican, and he lives
in a district which with fair and free
election would give republican majority OF
at least IL, 900 votes. According to the
classification adopted by the Mississippi
editor the district contained in 1880 about
%, 900 "people" and l04 900 members of the
"laboring classes" The number OF demo-
Gratis who are voters is about 900, and the
number of voters who are republicans is
about 2lO00, but a large majority of the
latter are not "people"; thev belong to the
''laboring classes" whom it would be utterly
unreasonable to attempt to arouse in the
busiest season of the year" 1t should not
be forgotten that the democratic Legislature
of Mississippi arranged the Hid District so
as to throw into it as large proportion as
possible of the colored vote in order to make
the other districts democratic, or nearly
enough democratic so that thew might be
stolen without much difficulty. The State is
divided into seven districts. The Hid
District contains one-sixth of the entire
colored population of the State, and only
one. nineteenth Of the white population.

BulldOzing a Candidate.
The FAMILIAR MISSISSIPPI Tactics

The Tribune of Friday morning contained
the following despatch;
WASHINGTON. Sept, l6-The first open
threat that the election of a Congressman is
to be declared in defiance of the wishes of a
majority of the voters. comes from the old
"Shoestring" District Mississippi. Secreta-
nv Mcpherson. of the Republican Congress
sional Committee. to-day received a copy of
1.-The Commercial Herald" of Vicksburg
which contains an editorial calling on Judge
Smrall, the republican candidate for Con-
gress in the Third dis riot, to withdraw from
the contest, which it warns him will be a
hopeless one. Judge Simrall is informed
that he has allowed himself to be placed in
false position" and that 1.-THE assumption
that he is the candidate of the republican
party is false and mischievous," because
''there is no organized republican party in
the district" 1t appears that sin most OF
the counties there is an arrangement of tn.
local affairs which works admirably and
which the colored voters have no desire to
modest, and that to the extent that Judge
Smrall's candidacy threatens those arrange
mepts il is mischievous and irritating snd
therefore the Judge is clearly in false posi-
ton" Again it is argued that Judge Simrsl
and General Cstchings, the democratic can
didate. OCCUPY precisely the same ground
on the one question for which the district Sc
lects Congressman, that is the improvement
and control of the Mississippi river," and that
as General Catchings lis the choice of those
who ought to select the Congressman, Judge
Simrall does himself an injustice and outrsg-
es the best sentiments of the valley IN
leading the opposition"
Having thus frankly stated his proposition:
the editor plainly informs Judge Simral thai
he can never have a seat in Congress. ant
that if he persists in his candidacy he will rue
it. The following extract from the editorial
il commended TO the thoughtful cousidera
tion of all men who believe in a free ballo

Mr.. Joseph II. Manley, Chairman OF the
State Committee. is receiving well merit
ed praise for the ability, fidelity and sue
cess with which he discharged the duties
OF his position during the late campaign.
He began his work early, prosecuted it
with vigor and excellent judgment. and
closed it with one OF the grandest and
most important victories ever won by the
republican party in this State. AS an or
ganizer Mr.. Manley has few equals; as an
untiring, energetic, sagacious, skillful,
earnest worker he is without superior.
The republicans owe much to him for
their victory and we are pleased to see
that they appreciate the splendid work
which he did.

Secretary's action in emitting from his
amended scheme ofreorganizatlon the bureau
OF personnel" and says: "The Secretarys
wise abandonment of the foregoing parts of
his plan operates strongly with tho minority
in inducing them TO oppose the passage of any
bill for the radical reorganization of the Navy
Department at the present session. II the Sec.
Rotary has determined that more than one
third Of his plan is injudioious, 1t is quite
probable that further reflection and additional
experience gained In another years conduct
Of his department may lead him to conclude
that the adoption ofthe two other thirds would
be IN injury instead of benefit to the navy.
II he has already become convinced that the
eight independent bureaus which he at first
felt must certainly be reduced to three cannot
be reduced below five, may not further rehec-
ton convince him that the other three should
be retained? 1t will be easier year later TO
adopt his ripened proposals under these two
heads than II Will be TO undo any mischief
which may result from the hasty acceptance
by Congress of the opinions of the Secretary
concerning the natural divisions of the work
