York by the Associated Press this
afternoon:
al assert that every material state

returns show that S. +. Cofran, Demo-
crat and citizens, Is elected mayor by
a plurality of 200 over Qulnton, Re

surprise, and II is attributed to the
white women's vote. Quinton had
the solid negro women vote, and when
this was manifest the white women
went to Cofran. The wives Of many
prominent and wcll-known Republl'

Ii Is not new schemes 90 get money
from the United States Treasury that
the people should advocate, but Il re-
turn to the old governmental methods.
II the currency is contracted, aud
there be not enough to carry on the
business OF the country with, then
should Congress pass law Increasing
the volume. If to loan money to rail-
rOsds, steamship lines, canals aud other
enterprises is unconstitutional, the
people should unite in demanding that
all such laws be repealed. But TO ad-
voeate that because this has been the
custom, other equally as uneOnstitu-
tional and injudieious loans shonld be
made, Is unreasonable, unjust and
should not be tolerated. The people
have a right to demand of every Sem
ator Congressman and Legislator that
they advocate the passage of no bill
to further take money from the vaults
of the United States Treasury under
guise of especially benefitting favor
ed few. They have the further right
to demand of every one of their rep
resentatiyes that they urge the repeal
of laws now in force, whereby money
is being taken from the Treasury to
support any particular class against
another. Ii Is not new avenues to
open wider the doors Of the Treasury
grabbers that is needed, but return
to the old time tried and tested ones
of our fore-fathers. A return to the
simplicity of our former governmental
practiees-fayors for none, justice to
all-would bring relief to all, the poor
est as well as the richest. The farmers
can accomplish this by voting for only
those who will pledge themselves to
stand by the constitution rs framed
by Jefferson. The National Govern
ment economically administered, is
the crying need of the hour. The
currency needs expansion. II should
be done within constitutional limits
Glass legislation, by whatsoever name,
should not be encouraged, but de-
nounced by those who are the suffer.
ers, and the sufferers are the farmers
the people. Give TO the people q
Democratic President, Senate and
House, aud no longer will there b,
cause for the establishment of all kind:
of schemes, measures aud laws, having
for their object the depletion Of thu
Treasury, enriching a few and impov
erishlng many. The farmers are th'
heaviest burden bearers aud the,
should be the most active aud inter
ested in securing the best and pures
men as their lawmakers. A return
to old methods is what Is needed.

A TIMELY WORD FOR IRON BRIDGES,

The production of iron all over the
country is so great, and the science OF
bridge making has so rapidly adyanc-
ed, that the bridges Of this county can
be replaced almost as quickly with
iron as wood. If we invite them,
bridge experts from different large
companies will come here and bid ON
the work, and erect all the bridges be-
fore time to harvest the next crop.
The cost will be but little more than
for the pcrishable wooden structures,
and thoy can be erected almost as
quickly. Once erected In the right
places they will be things Of beauty
and value for fifty or hundred years,
or we may say, for centuries.
We are for progress In the county
and city, and If there is anything that
will prove OF more benefit than good
roads and safe, permanent bridges, we
would like to be informed of II.
We arc for starting at Big Black
with two iron suspension bridges anu
putting iron bridges all over the coun-
ty wherever needed. This enterprise
will prove true economy If properly
carried out. :,
The county is In a condition In
which she can do this and oppress no
one.
She can issue fifty year six per cent.
bonds to pay for the bridges, and then
the present generation will only have
to nay Its portion of the debt, and
reap lis portion of the benefit Say
we have to issue one hundred thous.
and dollars in such bonds the interest
and sinking fund need only be about
seven thousand dollars a year, and
that will be for permanent work o.
The most valuable kind. If we bulld
with wood, il will cost us half as mucl
AS with iron, aud in few years th'
work will have to be done over again
There is another thing we must con
slider; to construct with wood thll
wear will be more costly than usual
for all the contractors are busy now
and ali this work being added vii
make it very expensive.
We trust our supervisors will inform
themselves a this question, so tina
they may render the county lastinl
service by keeping our highways sal
and passable, ram or no rain.-Vlcks
, burg Herald.
The above applies to every county
in this State, aud especially to CLARK
3 county. In the matter of bridge q
this place 1t will not be necessary
wait for the issue of bonds, but raise
0 special tax to pay one-half the cost Q
the bridge, and the other half can .
$ paid out of funds raised In a year
: time. Such an arrangement can easil
be made. Let us have an iron bridg
: here by all means, to begin will
0 Once try il and other iron bridges wi
follow.
E Every word Of the above the TIMI
urges, as it has urged many times b
n fore, on Washington county. Ever
9 new bridge of any considerable dime
sions should he of iron.

TO be Unveiled June S-HOst Interesting
Program Arranged.


The uuveiliug ceremonies Of the
Confederate monument takes place in
this city on "Wednesday. june 8, next,
The birthday Of Mr.. Davis. The selec-
uon Of this date, together with the
fact that a life size statue OF Mr.. Davis
is to be placed Ia the monument, has
given rise to the impression, which
seems TO obtain generally, that this Is
a monument to President Davis. This
is a great mistake, however, the date
is chosen out of compliment to the
Confederate chieflain, but the monu-
menl was erected out Of fund made
up partially by a State appropriation
aud partially by private contributions,
sggregating some $4,000 {; which fund
was appropriated and contributed for
the purpose of erecting a monument
TO the memory OF the noble heroes
who laid down their lives in the Con-
federate cause. Ii is strictly monu-
ment to the Confederate dead.
The statue of Mr.. DAVIS which is to
be placed in the mausoleGm Of the
monument, is made from separate
fund subscribed by private individuals
expressly and exclusively for that pur-
pose, and which is entirely distinct
from the monument fund. This statue
is being made in Italy, and will be
here aud in place In ample time for
the unwilling exercises.
The unveiling ceremonies promise
TO be interesting and impressive.
There will be grand military display
under command of General VIM.
Henry and Lieutenant Colonel Il. A.
Guilbert, in which sixteen or eighteen
companies of infantry and two COM
panies of artillery of the National
Guards of Mississippi viii take part.
The National Guards Of Louisiana,
Tennessee, Texas and Alabama have
also been invited to participate, and a
representation from each is confident
" expected. The various secret socie.
ties of the State have also been invited
and are expected to take part. The
procession will start fiom the city hall
promptly at 10 a. H., and march tc
the monument, where the ceremonies
will open with music and cannon sa
lutes-with program as follows:
Rev. Father Picherit, of Vicksburg
opens the exercises with prayer, to be
followed by a benediction from Rev
ii. +. Sproles.
Gen. Il. q. Walthall will deliver TIN
Confederate address, in which he wi,
deal with the Confederate cause gen
orally; and Ex-Governor Robt. Lowr.
will deliver the eulogy on Presiden
Davis.
The Confederate poem will b'
read by Mrs. Belmont Manship, vice
president of the monument association
= Little Jefferson Hays Davis, son o
Mr.. Jas. A. Hays, and grandson o
J, Mr.. Davis, whose name was change'
by the last legislature from Hays I,
Davis, will unvell the statue Of hi
grandfather, while Miss Winnie Davi
will upveil the monument.
/, Invitations are extended the Confed
crate veterans of the State, and th
citizens generally, to attend. The i'm
mediate family of Mr.. Davis, and MI
|. and Mrs. Jas. A. Hays, OF Colorado
daughter and son-in-law Of the lament
ed chieftain, will be present.

OFFICE OF THE MlssIssIFFIAN,
jackson, Miss March 30, 1851
To Messrs Beeman, Passm0re, Casey, Mil
saps and Dyer, State Alliance Executive
Committee:
Gentlemen In accepting the official
journalsbip of the State Alliance, you
will remember that it was distinctly
stated that the Mississippian would
hold "Democraey paramount to every
other consideration" and it was under
stood that it would not support the
Sub-Treasury. These conditions re-
ceived no disapprobation then and no
murmur of complaint has since come
to us from the committee or any men,
Der thereof. On the contrary, at least
two of its five members have publicly
opposed the Sub-Treasury and placed
their fealty TO the wLite mans pa ty
above all other considerations.
A number of Sub-Alliances and
several county Alliances have, how
ever, condemned this paper because of
Its opposition to the Sub-Treasury, and
support of Democracy, some of them
assever ting their purpose TO support
no man for legislative position, who
will not pledge himselft to oppose Sem
ators George and Walthall for re-
election; and who will not further
pledge opposition to any candidate
who does not promise to support the
Sub-Treasury scheme.
The Mississipplan has ever labored
for the glory and welfare of this be-
loved commonwealth, and the material
advancement aud moral elevation OF
the agricultural classes. But it has
never failed to speak its conscience on
all public questions. 1t has never car
ried its party flag at half mast. Where
democracy has needed a champion, il
has ever been proud to inscribc its
humble name. To fight under any
other flag means that the black vsm-
pire of radicalism shall revel at the
| fireside and altar of Mississll plans.
If these sentiments are out OF har'
mony with those Of the committee,
majority of whose members have Ell
loved proud distinction at the hands
of the party to which the Mississippial
belongs, the official journalshlp is here.
BY relinquished as freely, as volun
tarily, and as unsolicitedly as 1t wa'
rendered.
The condemnation of the Mississip
pian for the reasons assigned BY theil
authors. has been accepted as an honor
And if IL must subscribe to the spiri
of intolerance and policy of proscrip
ton of those honestly holding diverg
eut views, which many subordinate
organizations of the order have insisted
that It should, then the Mississlppial
not only requests-but demands-tha
the committee seek another forum.
In conclusion, it may be stated tina
the paper has been as loyal to the bes
interests of the Alliance as its mos
devoted member. Certain 1t is that !
shall ever labor, in season and out 0
season, for the farmers of Mississippi
without assailing uuiustly any othe
class or profession; because upon To
prosperity of the agriculturists rest
the prosperity of all. With the klndes
persopal feeling for every member o
the committee, and with best wishe
for the success of the true principles 9

stands them, VIC have the honor to b'
