Those of the negroes and colorcd
people who do not care to go to
Africa or lIayti will doubtless be
able to find comfortable homes in
Mississippi. y correspondent of the
New York World writing from
Jackson, Miss, on January 5, says
"i'hc rich lands OF our State are the
natural home of the negro in Amcri-
ca, and here he can and will success
fully work out his destiny if let alone
by outside interference" We are a
little curious to know exactly how it
is that the negro can have any
"natural home" in this country, but
the invitation of the 1Kor1ls cor
respondent is commended to the ao-
ccptancc of the surplus of the negro
population in South Carolina.

Whatever happens he is sure to get
the butt end of it. lie is the only
perpetual newer Of woon, who is al
ways crowded from the fire; the only
systematic drawer Of water who
never gets drink. Yet, as patient
as a camel, he goes OH voting the
Republican ticket from ycar to year;
and if one of his race takes notion
to protest he is straightway bounced
for traitor, and driven ont with
slaves and stones, lucky if he escapes
with his life. How long, oh Lord,
how long?
1t is none of our funeral. We
know that. But it does stick in our
gizzard to see the colorcd brother so
set upon. IL was bad enough to be
ignored by the Administration.
That, however, was to be expected.
Mr.. Harrison is an aristocrat. He
hates poor man only one degree less
than he hates niggcr. But there
was some hope that Congress, the
Republican Congress, would, when
it met, do something to make things
even. Now, what do we see? We
sec all the black contested election
cases in the House, except one, put
down at the foot of the calendar,
where they will never be reached,
and that one placed sixth on the list
of seventeen, not by the Republicans,
but by the Democrats.
1t is Just as Abram Jasper said in
his speech to the colorcd picnic at
Shantytown, in the late Virginia
campaign:
"Fcllcr frccmcn," says h "you

Bells of the San Diego Mission.

oh. bells, in the dull, gray tower swinging,
Swaying gently to and fro;
What is the tale ye tell with your ringing.
As the shadows of the twilight come aud go1
Do ye ken the voyage across the ocean,
From sunny Spain where olives grow2
Do ye still thrill with the sweet motion
When the breeze DER yonder olives blow2
The olden palms at the entrance growing
The same as were spread at the Savior's feet
Gracefully noi when zephyr is blowing,
Filling the air with incense sweet
DO ye sometimes scent the breath of the
breezes
That inger here worn from propelling some
fleet,
While the sweet, subtle perfume your eve ry
with far distant India's spices replete?
Do ye think of the time when your sweet
voices sounding,
Formed the first note in "A melody chain
From fair San Diego far north, and rebounding,
Echoed back from the North Red River again2
When the long-robed friars at your bell-ropes
We're tugging,
Ye rang out the thoughts of their innermost
soul;
They were glad; how joyous their thanksgiv-
ing sounded!
They were sad; how mournfully low did ye
toll!
Can ye see, around the holy altar gathering,
The same forms that once ye knew so well,
when the dark-eyed Spaniard and the half-wild
Indian
Knelt side by side their faith in God to tell9
Do ye remember when the skulkng savage
Attacked the mission at the dead of night?
Did ye toll the knell of the brave priest and
workmen,
Who died, resisting in that dreadful fight?
Still flows the self-same San Diego River;
Still upward point the mountains steep and
tall;
Still ceaseless beats against its crags the ocean
Still smiles the warm blue sky above them
all.
But the mission? All its massive walls are
ruins,
And where once burnt the altars sacred
tame
Are rank weeds. fourishing in wild confusion,
Their fragrance is earth's incense to his name.

Republican Co, Convention,

Republican Co. Convention.
The adherents of the grand old
Republican party and the little
school house met in convention at
Dodgeville on Tuesday for the pur-
pose of placing in nomination a
ticket for the consideration of voters
of Iowa county at the polls next
November. At l2 o'clock noon
Hon. James Spensley, chairman of
the county committee, called the
convention to order, and upon the
appointment of Messrs. J. p. Smell
ker, G. Spensley and Kearton Coates
as committee on credentials, an

To fix on a candidate for sheriff
was the first duty assigned by the
chair. The names of d. II. Baker,
of Edmund, and Peter Toay, of
the town of Mineral Point, were
presented. The first ballot showed
4s for Baker, AZ for Toay, l for
Paulson, blank one. The second
ballot decided for Baker, who re-
ceived SO votes, Toay As; and the
result was made unanimous.
For county treasurer but one name
was presented, that of Ole Stems
land by S. w. Reese in a creditable
style, and Mr.. Steensland was nom
mated by acclamation. This is
conceded a most excellent move ON
the part of the convention.
The present able and genial coun-
ty clerk, w. w. Williams, was
again renominated by acclamation.
Upon proceeding to select a can
didate for register of deeds, four
aspiring gentlemen were presented.

Mix 26, Prideaux 10. Second bal
lot Bennett 35, Morris AZ, Mix 20,
Prideaux 8. Third ballot Bennett
33, Morris 81, Mix Is. Mr.. Morris
having received the required major
ity the result was made unanimous.
M. J. Tappins for clerk of court,
r. Carter for district attorney, b.
w. Gillett for Supt. of county
schools, r. J.. Joiner for surveyor,
and w. p. Ruggles for coroner,
were all renominated by acclama-
ton and much enthusiasm prevailed.
The convention then divided into
assembly district conventions. The
Eastern was presided over by DR..
Vivian, w. Ii. Bennett, secretary.
An informal ballot was taken, N. Il.
Martin receiving 81 votes, ia mes
Spensley 10, Arch. Campbell 5. On
motion of Mr.. Campbell the ballot
was declared formal and Mr.. Martin
m ade the unanimous choice. The
appointing of w. A. Jones, A.
Campbell and G. G. Cox as dis
trict committee completed the bus
mess before the assembly conven-
tion.
The convention for the Western
assembly district renominated by
acclamation NJ. j. Bennett, he of
Bennett law fame; and after the
appointment of O. p. Underwood,
