The States Abroad.

WRITE POETRY, TOO. [Knoxville Whig and Chronicle.] A few bits from the Okolona "States” are mighty good reading. * * * They write poetry, too, in addition to their many accomplishments. OUR SENIOR IN CHICAGO. [Telegram.] Chicago, Sept. 9. A. Y. Harper, the Southern fire-eater from Okolona, arrived in Chicago this .evening, and as soontou his presence in town became known he was surrounded and pumped by reporters from all the big papers. They report him as having iron-gray hair, and firm, deep-set eyes. He is apparently abont fifty years of age, bat really considerably younger, having been born in 1888. He did not interview easily. Enough was gathered form him, however, to learn from him that he favors the negro exodus and States-rights. He thinks the South has been grossly misused by the North. He favors Thurman for the next-President, but says the Southern Democrats will support whoever is the nominee. Mr. Harper proposes to deliver his first lec- , tare Monday evening in this city. His Rnbject will be "States-Rights, Reconstruction, the Negro,” Ac. [Princeton (Ind.) Clarion.] • * • We have the assurance of reliable individnals who have visited the South, that the utterances of the Okolona "States” are the real sentiments of the Democracy of the South. NEWSY AND VIVACIOUS. [Eminence (Mb.) Argus.] Attention is called to the advertisement of the Okolona "States” in this iasne. The "States” is a newsy and vivacious sheet, thoroughly BourbonDemocratic, and is cheap at the price asked. FORGED LETTERS. [Lancaster (N. H.) Republican.] It seems strange to us that the editor of the Littleton (N. H.) Republic should publish forged letters to show that a newspaper of the character of the States is a Republican organ. THE MOST CONSISTENT. [Manitowoc (Wia.) Tribune.] The Okolona "States” is the moot consistent exponent of Democratic principles In the United States. True Democrats roll its fiery sayings under their tongues as sweet morsels. A YAKKER MOBOCRAT. [Saginaw (Mich.) Herald.] The Brooklyn (N. Y.) Eagle wants the people of M issisKi ppi to mob the Okolona States. We are afraid it would be rather a dangerous business. The States is not one of your Chisolm families. OUR POSITION. [Madison (Ind.) Courier.] The Okolona "States” rises to comparative respectability besides the position of a large npmberof Northern Democratic papers that have written on the Dixon ease in Yasoo. GIVE THE BOOM A BOOST. [Wapakoneta (Ohio) Bee.] - * The Con federo-Democrat, Col. Harper. proprietor of the Okolona "States.” will give toe Democratic boom a big boost in Ohio tile latter pert es this

month. He has taken ft upon himself to oome North and stump ft for the benefit of Ewing and Rice, HR MAS STARTED. [Mobile (Ala.) Daily Registairc.J . From the letter of onr corresoondent in Okolona it will be seen that Col. Harper, of the Okolona “Sates,” is about starting out on a missionary tour to convert the people of the West and North to the doctrine of Secession. Congressman DeLaMatyr. of Indiana, • said in a late speech, that "education "has injured the negroes of the Sooth "far more than it has benefited them,* 1 and DeLaMatyr told God’s own truth when he said it. We clap onr hands! Steedman—Gen.. Jim' Steedman—the Wah Democrat - dunderdnnk, of Toledo, Ohio, has been defeated for the Senatorial nomination in bis District. Congressman Rani did Now, let the Baokeve Jeffersonians shelve that unmitigated fraud—Miser,— Mouser.-O, what’s-bis-namef-of Gallon. 0., who wants to spread his wings Renate-ward, and the States will feel like dancing a horn-pipe and disptavi ng the Bonny Blue flag from its front window. Steedman and Miser hate the “States” and the devil dislikes iiolv water. "Now,” remarked the Senator, groping into natural history, "it’s known to every intelligent man that the allcgatur after once tastin’ tho flesh of a cullud. puftsun will alters neglect twenty white people to pursue his fav'rite nigger. Yaller fever is like the allcgatur. Havin’ 'Once tried the offcolor he has been hi fascinated by it and will take no white meat when a nigger is ter be had.” * i The Yazoo matter has cost the Democrats 6,000 to 10,000 votes iu Ohio.— Indiana Cor. Port Gibson Reveille. Can’t help it if it costs them 50.000 votes. Better that Ohio go unanimously Radical than have a single comity in old Mississippi remanded to negro supremacy. • Messrs. Campbell, of the Vicksburg Commercial, and Wright, of the Vicksburg Herald, came near having a aet-to in the streets of the Terraced City, lately, but the police swooped down like the wolf on the fold, and squelched the rumpus in the bud. e, ; If the Yankees keep on howling at Yazoo much longer, the Democracy will roll up 100,000 majority in <mr State this Fall. [Fort Smith (Ark.) New Era.] We give onr readers two remarkable articles to-day. Oue from Lite Okolona "States,” tells to a dot the true inwardness of a genuine Southern . Democrat and what his expectations are for the future. Those sentiments are as strong to-day as at any previous time since 1871. SHOOT. [Lemars (la.) Sentinel.] It (the Yazoo affair), is no concern of theirs(the Yanks).—[Okolona "States.” Sure enough t Blaze away I You laid out that rautankerous rebel Dixon very neatly. There’s no one interfering: Shoot!
