lainea the rdo Organize! A Lie to Vlrc the ISeart- The I Committee The I'roupcct Alied. The President' Cnlamniou Ac- cnHtion. The following fetter published in the New York Herald of the 5th fully explains itself The Weekly Clarion. II e- port. The Senatorial Inquisition' Committee has made its report.

The majority re- mrt will hr found fdsexx here. That of the minority will be reproduced at on early day. As was expected' th majority of the Committee has given birth to a bloody shirt campaign document, man ufactured from the testimony vt dulled witnesses. This duty was assigned them when they were appointed, ami they have performed it certainly to the best of their ability. With evident delight the stupendous falsehoods which were told them under oath, have been rehashed and under their tongues they have rolled as delicious morsels the bloody tale3 of ignorant, prejudiced and unprincipled xvitnesses.

We know that a fexv months aoit was asserted by the Radical lead ers in this State that the blood of twenty- five or more negroes would benefit the Republican party. It is evident from this report that in addition thereto it was believed by the Radical leaders in Wash ington, that perjury was necessary for the success of their party. Documents were furnished the com mittee, and used by the majority, show ing what the expenses of the State gov ernment during the war was, when a gold dollar xvas worth from fifty to a hundred in Confederate money, to. prove that there had been no extra agance or steal-in" under Radical rule. Witnesses xvtre produced to prove that the innocent Radical lambs had been, and are still, beinsr slaughtered in cold blood by the Democratic xvolves.

These Radical leaders in Mississippi have indorsed and abetted, for personal aggrandizement, the wholesale denuncia tion ot the outhern white peopie as liars, thieves and assassins, and yet they will meet us with the blandest smiles and politest bows, as if they had not done these people a wrong that years may not repair. The Committee having denounced us, has threatened (in the way of a recom a new reconstruction. The threat will not have the effect to intimi date the peopie ot this fttatc to again submit to Radical rule. They may be remanded to military peonage, but when ever they are guaranteed the right of the ballot box, they will arise in their micht. even though it be to the remotest generation aud throw off the yoke of the oppressor.

From time to time, we will publish the testimony, so that those who have been slandered may know what was said of them by these drilled xvituesses. It well that they be known, and what they have said of us be remembered. A ICsidit-al Roorback, About these days look out for Radica roorbacks. One of the last is a statement that Mr. Hendricks was concerned as at torney or agent in lobbying a war claim for mules through the War Department and when unsuccessful there, in the Senate while he was Senator.

Mr Hendricks explaius to a Herald reporter that ho had no interest in the claim and neyer thought of being employed as an attorney to collect It, He had long been a warm personal friend of Mr Henderson, the and presented his case to the Senate because he con sidered it a just one. The number of mnlps 11 inetv. and the amount of the claim was $7,200. Mr. Henderson says he employed Mr.

Haidncks' law firm as counsel before the Governor was a member of the Senate, and that he never gave bin? any compensation what ever for his services after he became Senator. Everybody knows that it is the habit of members of Congie3 present the claims of their constituents and secure their payment if they believe them to be just that it is a service ex pected and even reauired, and that no imputation of improper motives ever at taches to the members for rendering sucl service, AU ISight. We don't see how any Democrat coul have hesitated in voting for the resolu tious of Mr. Lord. The Democrats are pledged to maintain the loth Amendment forbidding 1 the discrimination in the matter of suffrage against any class or race, aud against fraud and intimidation to carry elections.

The only question is, who has been guilty of violating the law We maintain that fraud and violence xyere the fayorjte agencies by which the adventurers obtained power ji; the reconstructed States, and that the Democracy haye been the only true friends of peace aud fair Jf they have been involved in difficulties, it is because they were forced into them. For example, the Coahoma riot, which was caused by an attempt of the negro polor line officials to put down Senator Alcorn for exposing their rascalities in a publit plintou riol, and the VicksbuT collision, which ee brought about by the maclunatius of Ames, who thought that "the blood of twenty -five 0T thirty negroes would be good for the Republican party." Important AecesioA. Hon. J. A.

Orr, lately the most popular member of the Radical party in the State, and universally considered to bo the ablest, in a public speech in Lowndes county, endorsed Col. Mul- drow, the Democrat nominee for Con gress, and declared for Tilden, Hendricks and Reform in the Presidential election The Radicals had boasted that Judge Orr would lead them to victory in the coming Congressional canvass.

A. Hn'Ji'Vi ed permanent secretary, assistant1, an K. Mcintosh, cor, The meeting of the Democratic iN'a tional Executive Committee in New York, on the 2d was well attended and highly satisfactory. The Committee adopted a plan of thorough organization, and it is sufficient' to say that it is an organization for victory. The condition and prospects of the Democratic party are as favorable as could be desired.

Perfect confidence is felt in the success of the ticket in New York, which, by the consent of both parties, is the pivotal point of the con test. New Jersey, Connecticut, course Dtlcxvare,) and the Pacific States are counted upon with absolute certainty for Tilden and Hendricks. What the Southern States will do has been fore shadowed by the verdict of Alabama, which has led off with 40,000 majority for the Reform cause. The German element, with its huge vote the North-West, manifests unmistakable signs of preference for Tilden and Hen dricks on the questions of Reform, Hard Money and Anti-sumptuary laws. The Catholics are going almost in a body against Hayes on account of his well known Know-Nothing proclivities, and it cannot have escaped the notice of our readers that the leading newspaper organ of the people of the Israelitish faith has declared for the Democratic ticket, on account of the intolerance of the influences that surround the Radical candidates The money power, this time a3 hereto fore, will not all be on the side of the Republican ticket.

The capitalists of the East feel perfect confidence that the securities of the Government will be protected in good faith, and even their value enforced by any administration of which Mr. Tilden is the head. The Democrats have large hope of carrying Indiana, aud strange as it may seem, Ohio, also, in the October elections. But the issue with their ticket is not staked on either one, nor on both these States they can elect it without them, while the loss of either to the it is acknowledged on all sides, will be followed by a total route in November. Senator Morton has opened the canvass in Indiana in a speech of re-, markable vigor and adroitness.

His chief reliance is a vigorous waving of the bloody shirt ar.d a diversion of the mind of the North, from the corruptions and maladministration of the party in poxver. But the very tone of his speech shows the desperation of the cause it is designed to save from sinking. His party in Indiana has been no little demoralized by the withdrawal of Orth, its nominee for Governor, in consequence of detection in notorious villianies. Upon the whole, t)P omens of victory, after the long era of Radical misrule are as bright and cheering as the most hopeful friend of Reform could desire. In this connection, if js proper to say that Mississippi is set down in the column of Tilden and Hendricks States, and her member of the Committee has pledged that she will remain there.

HI on. Ci. C. Chundlcr. The defeat of Judge Chandler by the littpr end ultra element of the Radical party for the Congressional nomination in this district, throws away the opportunity of making votes in the seashore counties which it was supposed would result from the dissatisfaction existing thereon account of the District apportionment and assures the re-election of Col.

Hooker by a large mnjorfty. Judge Chandler is a man not only of ability, but of personal popularity, and would have made an able canvass. As it is he is virtually silenced. The meaning of the Brookhaven nomination is, that men of his position, and surroundings are not wanted in this fight. It is re-ported that ho intends to tranfer labors in behalf of Radicalism to Indiana by a vigorous waving of the bloody shirt and a tremendous hullaballoo over the imaginary wrongs of the colored people in consequence of the change of office-holders and reduction of expenditures aud taxes in this State.

We do not believe a xx'ord of it. He is not the man to employ himself in any such discreditable work. It may be congenial to the carpet-bag adventurers who have been ejected ft qui tftice, to go back to "hum" xvith invented tales horror on their simply because they imagine they have suffered a great wrong in being turned out of office, but it is not in the heart of any son of Mississippi to do any such thing. Let Judge Chandler follow the example of Judge Orr and take up the standard of TUden, Hendricks and Reform. Ho drew it very iu his late speech in the Capitol and at that time the letters of Tilden and Iteudrieks setting forth the programme of the incoming X3inoeratii? Administration had not appeared.

He is now mak ir." a vigorous canvass in the lower counties of the District, and the people are flocking with enthusiasm to hi standard. He is aided by Maj.

Van Eaton, who received a strong support for the nomination, and other effective speakers. The Pilot of August 5th, still an nounces itself as "Official Journal of Hinds County, and the City of Jack- nn." The laxv establishinsr "official journals" of counties was repealed in Feb mary last, aud in January the Peoples' De fense was elected O. J. of Jackson. The announcement, however, makes no dif ference.

If it affords the Pilot any pleasure we do not see tbat anybody need object. Sknatou Moiitox opened the contest in Indiana last Friday. His slogan was the bloody shirt. The State election takes place in October. He stated that 4 "a Democratic victory (in Indiana) in October, means a triumph of the Confed erate Democracy throughout the nation in November." That will do for a Re publican admission.

The Democrats are hopeful of carryiug Indiana, but a Dem ocratic victory does not depend upon the vote of that State. The Oxford University, Vicksburg Herald. The Jackson Clarion has a timely article in regard to the State University. II is glad to hear that there are renewed signs of jncreaced prosperity and of a very large attendance of students next session. The session begins on October 4th.

We are glad to see the white citizens, who were implicated in the Hamburg affair, have surrendered themselves to the South Carolina civil authorities (such as they are,) and are prepared to stand such trial as may be vouchsafed to them iu that wretchedly governed State. We neyer doubted that they would. They are not the men to shirk responsibility. Refekking to the election of Henry Watterson, the wit, orator and states-'man editor of the Louisville Courier-Journal, to the Chicago Times says, that "he will be a refreshing change iu the dead level of commonplace men who now paralyze the House, and if he doesn't always speak wisely, there is no fear but he will speak well."

The nomination of Col. Henry L. Muklrow, iu the 1st District, xvith his splendid antecedents and stainless record, is hailed with universal enthusiasm. The signs indicate that he will walk over the track without a competitor. TilEy are forming colored jJemocratic Clubs in Louisiana.

We notice that Sergeant Joseph Williams, an effective cqlored prator fu former canvasses in our State, aud a good and worthy man, is taking an active part iu the election. Hon. B. F.

The charge is that "Mississippi is to-day governed by officials chosen through fraud and violence sitcJi as li would icarcely be accredited to rages, much less to a civilized and christian people." An accusation as unbecom ing in the chief magistrate ot the nilion, as it was unprovoked and devoid of truth, addressed to the country through Con gress and thence into every newspaper in the land, demanded a prompt refuta tion.

The message appeared while the Mississippi member of the National Dem ocratic Executive Committee was attend ing a meeting of the Committee in New York and the opportunity of publishing the refutation (to be found elsewhere) was readily accorded to him through the columns of that independent and univer sally read journal, the New Y'ork Herald. Other Northern papers of note and wide circulation have, republished the reply aud through these channels the truth has followed close upon the calumny. Centennial a- The McComb City Intelligencer, with characteristic enterprise, publishes the full text of the very able Centennial address delivered by Gen. A. M.

West, giving a history of the growth, development and progress of Mississippi, and the inducements which she offers temptingly to immigratiou and capital. The theme xvas fruitful, and the occasion one of peculiar interest, aud the State has no son who could bring a more devoted heart to her cause than the orator. The address elicited the highest compliments from the Northern press, whose reporters xvere present at its delivery. It will be embraced in a volume, with other Centen nial addresses, commemorative of the times and events in which we live. As soon as our space can be spared from the issues of the canvass, which require immediate attention, we shall quote liberally from it for The Clarion.

The Mississippi Building at the Centennial Exhibition continues to attract large crowds by its novelty and unique structure. It is plainly but comfortably furnished, with reception room, parlor and dressing apartments. Mr. Langley is constantly at his post, and does the honors with a courtesy and warmth which make all feel at home. Tazwell Jones is attentive and polite, and does his part admirably.

The first impulse which a Mississippian feels on entering the grounds, amid the wilderness of wonders, is to seek out this humble building, and the emotion which the first glimpse of of it inspires, is kindred to the feelings which is awakened when one catches a sight of the flag of his oxvn country waving amid the pennons pf other nations in a strange port. A Word in Democrats and Reformers, if you have not already organized a central or county club, go to work and effect an organization at once. The central club thus organized, should proceed xvithcut delay to appoint canvassers for each election district, so that auxiliary clubs may be formed. Tjese clubs should see that the name of every Democrat, Conservative or Reformer, no (natter by what name he prefers to be called, provided he will vote the reform ticket, should be entered on the rolls. The names of all voters, without reference to party, should be diligently hunted up and recorded, and the persons answering to them, should be identified, aud the polls watched to prevent fraudulent voting.

Let us have a free and fair election and no corruption of the ballot-box. Maj. J. Sessions, who xvas elected State Senator from the Brookhaven District, as a Republican, a few years ago, lias come out in favor of Tjlden and Hendricks. Kosciusko Star.

It ought to be remerabered, to the credit of Maj. Sessions, that as a member of the Senate, he neyer past a vote not in strict accord with the best interest of his constituents; and it should be especially noted that he moved the resolutions, which were warmly supported by flie Democrats and Conservatives, indignantly protecting against the military invasion of the Louisiana. Legislature. Maj. Sessions in supporting Tilden and Hendricks is in ihe line which he has always pursued and never deviated from in principle, as a true and faithful son of Mississippi.

When- the Ltghtxisg once strikes the Radical party in a Southern State, it strikes it all over, and for good.

The Radicals have never been known to reclaim a State they have once lost. See how it was in Arkansas and see how it is iu Alabama forty thousand Demo. cratic majority. The talk of the about regaining their lost position in Mississippi is worse than foolishness. But the duty, nevertheless, remains for the men of the good oLl commonwealth to do their whole Eternal yigiianee is the price of liberty.

than this a-sault. At this moment, under the administration installed by the Umiojratic-Conseryati ve party of the State, as a result of the overthrow of Ridical misrule iu the election ol 1S75, the State presents aii unexampled condition of peace, order and obedience to laxv.

L.

The President, alter mature consideration of the ca-e, refused to comply, for the retain th it the Governor had presented no grounds which would xvarrant s-uch inteference by tin-United States authorities. To make sure that no opportunity for such interference should bi lost, the President desp itched a special agent to Mississippi, after Governor Ames had made his call for troops, charged with the duty of luvestig iting the condi tion ol affairs.

The county in which this garrison is located has a colored voting nmjority of 1,800. At the precinct sta tioued immediately under the guns of the garrison large numbers of colored people xvho had hitherto been controlled by the carpet-bag politicians, went to the polls, and, vith open tickets in their hands, voted tVr the reform candidates. The county xvas carried for this ticket by 1 500 majority Under the circumstances, it cannot be as sumed that the result xvas due to "violence nor could it have been due to "fraud," inasmuch as the entire election maehinerx xvas in the hands of the Radicals. Itxva simply a revolt of the people, white and colored, against the profligacy, fraud and const quent demoralization which had sig nalized the rule of the political ad xvho, by the aid of the Administration, had seized the State government and wielded it for selfish and corrupt purposes. In addi tion tne iacts ueiore mentioned, exposing the injustice of the President's vehement denunciation, it is xvorth while to mention that he has in his possession, a letter from colored ex-Senator leveli, of Mississippi, republican, positively declaring that the election was fair ami that the republican State administration had caused its defeat by its own mi-conduct; and also a letter from the present Attorney General of tin- State (a republican) attributing the result to the same cause.

I might add that th republican predecessor of that officer, gentleman oftaleutand indorsed by Ids par ty with a nomination on the Hayes and Wheeler electoral ticket, in December, 1874. predicted that the maladministration, cor ruption and imbecility of the republican State authorities wouldbring defeat and dis grace upon them aud their pr.rty.
