The Result.


The election on the whisky q'les'
ton is now over and we breath cas-
Ter. -irhis.hns been one OF the most
rcmarHablc canvasscs, perhaps the
most remarkable known 10 the CT
liens of Copiah county. Ii was
short and spirited AMI conducted
on business principles. Those who
had the work in charge went ut it
i'm a business like way and distrib'
uted the work in,0 parts ana put
good men ut the helm in each III.
stance. In the beginning it was
Impossible to iorctcll the result, be-
cause it was II new question to the
people. and it was impossible to
know what influences would lie
cXortCd aud what arguments pre-
vail. Both sides confidently claim
I'll majority, and 10 the unbiased
mud, victory tor either side, ut
that time, would have been no sur
Prise.
Strong and influential canvasSers
set about to work in the interest OF
prohibition. and the ablest speak
crS in the county took the stump
Tor that side. Public sentiment
soon began to crystnlize in that di.
rrction. AMI it was evident that the
white people Or the county were
practically solid for prohibition.
The cOlOrcd vote was still an elc.
mcnt of great uncertainty; an an.
OnymOus circular, of a very miss
leading character, was sent ont by
the ants TO catch the negro vote.
and was circulated with great earn.
cStnrSs, AMI worked for all it was
worth This document was thor
oughly ventilated Ivy the prohibi.
tioniSts. and the ants, just on the
eve OF the election, sent ont anoth.
cr circular pretending 10 show what
prohibition had done for Georgia
This was considered u trump by
the ants, us it set forth the terrible
opposition 10 the negro race that
would follow in the wake of this
movement. No prohihitioniSt was
allowed To see tins circular and
this is an instance where money
would not prevail, and the parties
who had them declined rs much rs
five dollars copy. This naturally
fired the prombitioniSts and they
went TO work in earnest. In the
meantime Il goOtlly number OF COL
Orcd people, including most of their
teachers and preachers, had been
enlisted in tho cause of morality
aud did earnest work for the cause
Ofprohihiiion. Be 1t said to their
credit the most intelligent cOl0reG
men in the county joined earnestly
in the work and a large number of
their race voted the dry ticket.
This is tie most gratifying feature
of the election, rs it shows that
these people are being educated on
grca; moral questions, aud when
educated on them they dare to do
their duty.
S0 Copiah county. after two
years experience under a local pro-
mbitory LAW, goes dry By l.7J ma

Tho Civil Service Law.

The bill to repeal the civil scr
vice law was called up in tho sen.
ate last week. Upon n motion OF
Senator Hawley the bill was nndeii-
nitcly postponed, Senators George
and Walthall voting yea. An
exchange says that measure is out
of the canvass. 1t ought not to be.
1t was q dying bequest of the re-
publican party, to prevent the GUS
ting of republican Office holders.
1t is but a maudln, sickly senti-
mentality, endorsed by no one ut

are IN impeachment to the admins
rration of the affairs of that depart
mcnt, keeping ups system OF es
pionage and acting as stumbling
blocks. A democratic administra
ton should have in the places o.
power and the subordinate posi-
tions men in accord aud sympathy
with that administration. Would
it not bc u very unwise policy for q
Baptist minister to try to run hi
church government with Methodist
deacons, or for q Presbyterian min
lister to admit to membership Epis
copalians, without renonncing thcil

When the republican party had
lost its grip on the government, and
was about to turn over its admins
tra,ion to the democracy, the III
iGuitous evil service law was pass
