THE THIRD WARD HOWLERS. 0
The managers of the 3rd ward
club have for someti:ne engaged in
the outrageous practice of disfran
chising legitimate voters of the,
ward and of insulting invited speak-t
mr, but they reached the climaxn of '
political indecency last Saturday
night by sending Ia hundr.ed1 or more
of clageurs from their club room to t
" Senator Barber's privale residence,
where the~r halted and made use of'1
the most disgusting epithets in I
reference to hiw. i
senator Barber's offense see.mws to 1
be that the ,rd ward elected him
Senator, that he is not willing to .
repudiate his election, that he stands t
by the members of the adininistra
tion who were elected when he was, (
and that he does not support Lieu
tenant Governor Dunn for G overnor
Warmoth's place at least a year
and a half before he can even get a
nomination for it. Btrause he is
unwilling to assist in dlrawing the!
mass of our people into a fight
which may affect their situations
and take bread front the mouths of
their wives and children, make them
squander their votes to fe.ed the
ambition of those who will refuse to
give them any compensation for the
places they may lose in this partizan
scramble, because in short 1w ha' an
opinion of his own and cherlishl s it

right of other people to holdl their
opinionb Id~ alnd as indepen

the year 1846, Lawrence, then quite
a young man, entered the elas of

he is said to have been distingtish

the real or fancied injustice done
him, laembrame the latter alterna

i 1860 he went to New OdCau,
and taught school for four reala or

ing north, went on the river aspr.
t*er on one of the steamers of ttL
Louisville and Henderson mail line.
where he reainned until taking ,t
f similar position on the 'nail line e.
tween Louisville and Cincianati. In
t this position, it may be the, remark
ed from the experience of a1 who
 kneW1?tm , he was noted for the
e oontons and digaified Imanner in
i which the duties of his place were
) accomplished. It was always a mat
_ ter of wonder that he shoull1 harf
remainedi sucllr a surbhor-i
, and obscure situation, but, . he
' said yesterday, the provision for his

L tions he might have had, and kept
him close to the business that ar

t news as above stated, of his Ap.
poiatmetat as professor in Alcern

The question how the negro r.t,,
is is to lie educated, Gov. Alcorn weea
, to have solved. With ex-Senator
1e Revels, the fut ,re laprsihlent of the
o dlege, the polli.e is familiar: of
at Lawr ence Minor it may be said
at that no better selection could ha,,
,,, been mnadev. His capacity fri tim
ar ppsilion is undoubted; he ewtm
at (aud a knowledge of him for remu
th back bears out the justice of 11. up
of' pearanee) a man of stroit, ,t
Iy sense as a basis, on whioh lha bI,~e
i$ built a substantial education. HH
converses fluently upon snhjerts
such as iudicate the cultivateul mind,
-- writes an a-lmirable hand, alc redt
poses a letter sunch as any eduIated
wan would indite. In short, lamvi
CO- all prejudice aside, he is as wed, d
not better educated than the ia
jority of men met every day in ,
cial life, and the peop'e of liuMP
r s'ippi are to be.congratnlated that
he the care of their youth has fallen
ie, into such good hands. Upon the
ne subject of the political aslspet 0?
ty, dtaire in the south, Minor is reticent;
aso igt, so far as relating to his ow
'- people, it may safely be assertl
W: that his views will be prodcntivedof
an g~ood to them and of eornmesunate
Ln- benefit to the white people dof tbe
- State.
S In personal appearance, Minor
a strlkingly handsome ran for onle

Sto, with features peculiar to his race
bhe but slightly developed. He is 1.
tall, rather" stout, and dignitiatcs
