Editor Mississippi Messenger


In your issue of the "a inst, | see
that Mr.. Williams, candidate for Con
gress, contradicts a statement which,
he says, certain parties in Clarke coun-
ty have made in reference to his speech
at Shubuta, and asserts that said state
ment is "a lie out of the whole cloth"
He mentioned no name, but as | am
known to have excepted to some of
his remarks in reference to the farm
ing classes (of which am member) |
respectfully ask space in your columns
to state what | understood Mr.. Will
liams to say in his speech at Shubuta
and the conclusion |, as a farmer,
drew therefrom.
In the first place, will state that |
am not the author of the statement
which he has inclosed in quotation
marks
l understood and so stated that the
substance of his speech in reference to
the farmers was this: The subtreasury
scheme is impracticable, unwise, etc,
and that those who devised it are dis
satisfied, unsuccessful Office seekers,
who expect to get into office by the
votes of ignorant farmers. Those same
pect to be benefited in peculiar way
by a 2 per cent. loan on real estate,
when there is not one in ten who has
the estate to put up as security If the
subtreasury scheme should become a
law. If the visionary plans proposed
by the trainers of the subtreasury bill
ther and'adopt the Swiss referendum
al. oil q
legislative enactments shall be sub
mitted to the popular vote for approx
al or disapproval. He ridiculed the
system for our country, and stated If
the 400 acts of the last congress had to
be voted on, we would have to hold
one election every week day and two
on Sunday. He said that the farmers
are complaining of hard times, etc,
when they had neglected their agricul-
tural pursuits and gone into politics
to try to legislate themselves into pros
perity, He concluded by saying that the
majority of farmers are a good, well
meaning people, but easily misled by
office seekers. His advice to them was
to pay more attention to agricultural
pursuits and less attention to politics
His speech impressed me as follows
InaC ne REGARDS Une FARMERS as goou;
desirable population so long as they.
keep within their proper sphere, and
that they are easily led back when they
have strayed if the meddling office seek
err is kept out of the way. His speech
in reference to the Alliance men and
farmers generally Inundated me and
made me feel that the class of popula-
ton to which l belong is regarded by
Mr.. Williams as fit only for votes when
properly led.
My objections to Mr.. Williams were
made prior to and to defeat his nomi-
nation. | would never have mentioned
them after his nomination if others
had not forced me to do so in self de-
Tense.
am Cleveland Democrat, and do
not wish to do anything that would
tend to prevent the success of the
Democratic party, but the manner in
which Mr.. Williams has seen fit to treat
the parties who made some structures
on his Shubuta speech forces me to
publish the foregoing remarks.

Messrs. J. NJ. Floyd, c. A. Stovall and others:
In the Messenger of the sth ms tant,
appears card over your signatures,
contradicting my published statements
in reference to the speech made by our
candidate for Congress, in Shubuta, on
the day before the primary election.
In said card you have stated seriously
to the public, that Mr.. Williams did
not use the language with which he
was charged by me.
OF course, you cannot expect me to
show why you did not hear the state
ments referred to. Perhaps, one of Sam
Jones' sayings may correctly illustrate
the cause of your failure to hear as l
did. Sam said, that when a dog Eight
is going ON, If stone is thrown at
them, the dog which is hit viii be sure
to holler. When Mr.. Williams threw
his criticism at the Alliance, was bit,
and hollered. | suppose / was the
only Alliance farmer present.
Your card places me in dilemma !;
for after reading in the same issue of
the Messenger, Mr.. Williams letter of
explanation, in which his tone of denial
and denunciation is considerably modi-
fed, and his language more appropri-
ate for a Congressional candidate,
was inclined to leave his explanation
of his speech and my construction of
to the decision of the readers of the
Messenger. But the publication of
your card forces me to appear before
the public again.

WE WILL GOVERN 1T.
From Speech of Senator Ransom. J


My countrymen, l see dark cloud
looming upon the horizon. 1t is the
shadow of negro rule. Are you, will
ing to raise up your beautiful daughters
under that cloud? There is one crime
which is increasing in frequency more
and more. A fearful, a hideous crime.
Its victims suffer fate worse than
death. Ninety-nine times, out Of a;
| hundred it is negro who commas
this crime on some poor white woman,
or school girl, or even an infant may
be the victim. 1t is the blacklist stain
upon the negro race. In every in
stance the Southern white men have
defended their homes and have avenged
the outrage on their wives, sisters and
children. Lately great convention
was held in Northern city--this
question was brought up. Would you
not have thought that they would
have advised the negroes to cease FROM
this horrible crime? But instead oI
that they rebuked the Southern Whine
people, and called them savages and
barbarians. The white people are, the
best friends of the black race. When
we were poor and poverty stricken
one of the first acts passed by the
Legislature when whites regained con-
troll was bill to educate negro chill
dern, with money paid by white men
into the State Treasury, but thev must
understand that we will deIeudI our
homes, our wives and our daughters,

GEN. FIELD ANSWERED.
ATLANTA Constitution

Our contemporary, The Memphis
Commercial, thinks that the best an
swer to the Third Party leader, General
Fields, charges against General Lee
will be found IN the latter's order is
sued at Ctlambersburg, Pa, June 27th,
1868, The order is as follows:
"The commanding general has OBJ
served with much satisfaction the con-
duct OF the troops On the march and
confidently anticipates results COM
mensurate with the high spirit they
nave manifested. No troops could
have displayed greater fortitude or
better performed the arduous marches
OF the past ten days. Their conduct
IN other respects has, with few excep-
tons, been in keeping with their
character as soldiers, emitting them to
appreciation and praise. There have,
however, been instances of forgetful-
ness on the part of some, that they
have IN keeping the yet unsullied rep
utatlon of the army, and that the
duties exacted of lis by civilization
and christianity are not less obligatory
IN the country Of the enemy than in
our own. The commanding general
considers that no greater disgrace
, could befall the army, and through it
the whole people, than the preparation
of the barbarous outrage upon the
innocent and defenceless, and the
wanton destruction of the private
property that has marked the course
OF the enemy in our own country.
Such proceedings not only disgrace the
perpetrators, and all connected with
them, but are subversive of the discip-
line and efficiency Of the army and
destructive of the ends of our present
movements. 1t must be remembered
that we make war openly upon armed
men, and that we cannot take VEN
geance for the wrongs our people
have suffered without lowering our
selves in the eyes of all whose abhar
ence has been excited by the atrocas'
OF our enemies, without Offer &

A PLEAF FOR BETTER ROADS.
In the AtI1nftc M0nthN Professe

In the atlantic Monthly Professor
N. S. Shaler thus pleads for better
roads:
Judged by the standard of our local
ways, America as a whole must be
regarded as the least advanced of
countries which are commonly classed
as civilized. 1t is true that our great
transportation routes, those which are
plowed by the steamers Of our inland
waters and traversed by locomotives,
arc we'll organized, wide-spreading,
and efficient in high degree; but
these ways serve in direct manner
only narrow belt of country on
either hand. ,-.They have high inter-
state and international valve, but little
relation to the needs of local life. So,
far from meeting the necessities of
rural neighborhoods or aiding in, their
development, they have, tended to re-
tard the growth Of the less conspicuous
but really more important channels of
communication, cur common country
roads.
A very strong argument could be
made to. support the point that the
United States would have been in all
essential regards more prosperous than
it is at present if, in place of its rail-
ways, it had secured system of high
ways constructed and maintained in
the highest state of the road makers
art. 1t is true that our great export
industries would have been much less
important than they are now. 1t is
true also that prosperity in manu-
featuring which has brought great
bodies of our people to the Birming-
ham state of hived employment would
not exist. Many of our cities would
be but country towns, and the buffalo
would still roam over much of the
country to the Mississippi. On the
other hand, our farmers would know
more of one another than they do a,
present. Though they could not
market their corn in Liverpool, they
would still be able to take it to mill with
out the sore tax which the bad roads
SO generally levy upon them, or
which the toll taker requires as the price
ola passable way. In such we'll united
community, distance counts for little
against the duties Of Life, or against
those pleasures which are in the high
est sense part of human obligation.
The farmers could attend their town
meetings, if they were so fortunate as
to live in part of the world which is
governed by local parliament. They
could do their duty by their churches,
and have a share in the festivities
which enliven and enlarge their days,
On the contrary, where the roads are
bad, all the duties of the citizen ana
the social being are most imperfectlv
done. The people get IN the habit Of.
a hermit life; the winter season, which,
should be the time of social intae-
course, is passed in seclusion: nous,
holds have but little touch with, .
another and any real con,munaa 4
