LAWYER CHIDSEY,
The New Convert to the Republican Party
For Revenue Only.

We find the following in the New
Orleans Crusader, a very black Re-
publican paper. The letter is signed
"Ja Jc," and dated Scranton, Miss,
Oct, %. In speaking of the new con-
vert the correspondent says:
Lawyer Chas. f. Chidsey has been
named postmaster at this place, vice
Mrs. MaryG Laird, appointed during
the Democratic Administration
POstmistress Laird has served the
people faithfully aud efficiently she
has been kind and obliging to all, and
her removal is regretted by whites
and blacks alike. Chidscy is a new
Republican, with no following. His
appointment is unsatisfactory TO the
business men, aud to both Republic
cans aud Democrats. Not long ago he
was a candidate for Representative,
subject to the action of the Demo-
cratic party, and voted at the last
Democratic primary, less than three
months ago. The p~ostoffice is his re-
ward for it. We would rather see dill
honest Democrat in office than one
who is neither a Democrat o a Re-
publican. But we will charge this to
a few of our so-called leaders, who
carry the Republican party and votes
in their vest pocket. Unless a change
occuIs, the next four years will show
who are the leaders.

The grave question" mentioned In
the last DEMoCRAT-STAR seems to
strike u citizens as an excellent sug-
g%estion. There will be no difficulty
ia securing a desirable piece of land
situated about midway between
Scranton and this place for the pur-
pose designed.

PURE BLACK REPUBLICAN.

In this Bird SUPERVISOR District VIC
are presented with the remarkable
spectacle OF a pure negro ticket. That
ticket consists of V. II. Macarthur for
Supervisor aud ClIus. 5. Collari for
Jastic3 of the Peace AT Moss Point.
We have no patience with the foolish
ambition of negroes for supremacy
0vcr the whites, but we have more
rcsEcc; for the pure negro ticket than
the mixed and scalawag crowd. When
the negro comes out as these have
done, It is simply a question of negro
or white man, although they are said
to DC regular nominees Of the Repub-
lican party Of the county.
These two candidates arc pretty
good representatives, of their race.
Chas. Callard has only become a cili-
zen OF this State within The past two
three years, being a native of the
West Indies, and can have very little
idea of the duties of Il Justice of the
Peace. lie is pure black. Macarthur
IS "a mixture, benign either white o
black. He runs against one OF the best
aud most popular young men in the
county. The election Of either over
the men against whom they run would
be an outrage. But, Democrats, there
are a great many negroes in the Dis
trict, Il large majority who will vote
for their color. Do yoursdHty. We
afford TO Weld these two impor-
ant Beat offices. Let every white
man, old and young, understand The
situation, and that his vote is needed
0 make sure of avoiding an absolute
calamity by the election Of the black
ickct. BE up and at il, all of you.

---Last Saturday night some person
cut one of Capt. S. II. Th0mp-
sons COWS inflicting a frightful wound,
which resulted in her death Sunday
morning.. II was probably the work
of some drunken v~agabond, as we can
hardly believe that any person in his
sober senses could be so heartless as to
be guilty of All act of wanton cruelty
so utterly mean and cowardly.

If our shippers could ship by the

and the high rates prevent them from

A strollrng Russian, with his
wife, three children and a very dis

bear, arrived last Thursday and en-

gr0cs collected about the camp and
began to annoy his wife who was
cooking dinner. They oon succeeded
i'm working the up 10 a high
pitch of rage and she was weeping
and cursing IN three or Sour Ian
guages. At this Stage OF the game
the bold Russian arrived on the scene,
and, finding persuasion useless, he
produced a formidable blundcrbuss
and threatened dire destruction. The
crowd vanished, but soon returned
with an officer, who arrested the man
and he was iiued 81 80 and costs. Our
opinion is that the negroes should
have had a little of the same medicine.
