From Trl-Wiwkly issues of Monday and Kridiiy.
Elector lor I lie 1'irt.t UiNtrirl.
At a meeting ol' tlie State Deino
crntic Executive Committee, Ht Jack
son, 011 Wednesday, July 80th, Mr.
W. 15. Walker, of Aberdeen, was
elected as Elector for this the First
Congressional District, to fill the va
cancy occasioned by the resignation
of Hon. J. A. Greene, to whom
the State Convention confided that
high trust and honor. Mr. Walker
is well known to the members of the
present and last Legislatures, as well
as to many others throughout the
District and will require no introduc
tion when he appears before tho peo
ple bearing the banner of Cleveland
and Hendricks. He is a gentleman
of vim and energy, an excellent
speaker, and good work may be ex
pected of him during the campaign.
TI1K t Ol K I II IMSTKH T.
The Democratic Convention of the
Fourth Congressional District which
assembled at Grenada, on Tuesday July
28ih, nft( r three dnys consumed in or
ganizing nnd balloting, nomicnted our
distinguished former fellow citizen, Hon.
F. a. Babhy, of Clay county, on the Hi
ballot, to represent llut District iu the
next Congress. His competitors for
the nomination were the Hon. C. B.
Mitchell, of Pontotoc, and Hon. Clark
Lewis, of Noxubee county, both of
whom are gentlemen worthy the high
est position iu the gift of their District.
Mr. Barry, is not at all unknown to the
people of the State, for lie has tnken a
most active pnrt iu every campaign since
the revolution of 1875, when he was
elected on what seemed to be a "forlorn
hope" to a seat iu the State Senate from
the District composed of Lowndes,
Oktibbeha and Clay couuties.and in that
body he made a most euviable record.
He is a geutleman of high standing and
ability in his profession, an eloipient
speaker and forcible debater, aud has
ever been almost a terror toiheoppo
nents of the Democratic party in politi
cal campaigns, Iu his hands the Dcm
ocratio banner of the Fourth District
will be carried triumphantly to victory
nnd his constituents will have a repre
sentative to whom they can point with
as much pride ns to his immediate
predecessor, Capt. H. D. Money, We
congratulate the Fourth upon the nomi
nation. We noticed on the streets of Jack
son Inet Thursday morning several
huge wagon loiulu of Hinds county
buy. We don't know how this Bight
which is common enough in Aber
deen but rare in many parta of the
Soulh impressed the average Jack
douian.but it was to us the pleasant
est tcene and the most cheering
sign that ever caught oar eye at the
State Capitol, and we Lave been a
locker on at many an assemblage of
constitution builders and statute
tinkers in that grave city. Jackson
aud its vicinage are not to be left in
the march of progress, and there are
numerous grass growers and stock
breeders in the neighborhood who
are entitled to high rank among the
pioneers of the resurrected Sontb
such men as Col. Stewart, Hon
W. L. Hemingway, Col, Jones Ham
ilton, Mr. Odeneal, and others.
When it was ascertained and re
ported a few days ago by Col. J. L
Power that the fund for the support
of the Protestant Orphan Asylum at
Natchtz was nearly exhausted, the
very first man to head a subscription
for its relief was the Catholic Bishop
of this dioces-, Rt. Rev. Dr, Jansen.
Such acts as this do much to obliter '
ate the prejudices that exist between
the various sects that seek salvation
at the bunds of the God of all tocts,
peoples and worlds.

Tiik State furnishes the glass jars

asked of producers is that they will
send fmo samples as they may have

regarded as a pleasant duty by every
man who feels a pride in his orchard
or his State.
An exchange commenting upon
the Democratic nominee speaks of
him as "a man v ithout a record."
The difference between him and

UNITED STATUS INTERNAL 1I13VENUE,
Deputy Collector's Office, District of
Mississippi.
Okolona, July 21! h 1881.
Mesfks, Jonas &, Dalton:
Your communication of the 20th
inst, asking me to furnish you for
publication a brief statement of tho
U. S, Revenue law in relation to the
distillation of fruit, received and
considered. In the first place, I
will say, in reply to your letter, that
the best thing a person can do if he
expects to manufacture fruit brandy,
is to see the Deputy Roveuue Collec
tor of his division, who can, if he
understands his business, fix up the
papers and so explain things to him
in two hours time, that it would be
next to impossible to have any
trouble. I will now proceed to an
swer your question. '
1st. The amount of brandy that
can be made at the distillory in tweu.
ty.four hout'B must be estimnted,uud
the distiller must keep the time act ually
run, and at the end of the sea
son, we estimate tho amount of
brandy he should have on hand by
the number of hours actually in oper
ation. 2d. The distiller must give a
good bond in a sufficient amount to
cover tho tax that would probably
be due ifrotn him at the end of the
season.
3rd. At the end of each month
the distiller mutt make a sworn re
port on a blank form furnished by
us, of all the material used, from
whom purchased or received, num
ber of gallons of brandy distilled, &.o.
4th. At the end of the season the
brandy is guaged and tho distiller
pays ninety cents per gallon on what
he Las manufactured, which is all he
bus to pay the government,
I have charge of all the counties
along the Mobile & Ohio R, R. south
as far as Meridiun, Monroe and
Chickasaw inclusive. The counties
of.WinBtou Choctaw,Leuke,Scott aud
Newton, are in my division also.
Should any person within this terri
tory wish to engage in the distilla
tion of brandy from any kind of fruit,
it would be my duty, on receiving
notice of the fact, to proceed to his
place of business,8urvey his distillery
and fix up all tho papers appertain
ing to the same; also give all neces
sary instructions. According to onr
estimate a six y gallon still will
unike about eight gallons of brandy
in twenty four hours, constant run
ning. Should there be any thing further
that you wish to know in relation to
the matter, write me and I will fur
nish it with pleasure.
Respectfully,
W. D. FliAZEK,
Deputy Collector 2nd Division Dis
trict of Mississippi.

Albany, July 2'.). The Committee
on Notification met at 10 o'clock this
morning, Col. Vilas presiding. It
was arranged that the committee
should visit the Governor at 3:30.
After signing the official letter the
committee adjourned until 3 p. m.
The rain, which had ceased ut noon,
set in again at about 2 o'clock. Des
pite tlie weather, Pearl street and
ISroadway were lined with people
standing under the shelter of um
brellas. About the headquarters of
the phalanx, No. 5(1 State street, the
crowd was greatest. At a little be
foio 3 o'clock the phalanx formed on
State street, 120 strong. They were
attirod in dark suits, high white nuts
and carried canos. Preceded by the
Albanv city bund thev marched
through State street into Broadway,
and to the Delavan House, where the
throng was so great that the streets
and sidewalks were almost impass
able. Their carriages, to tin) number
of forty, were provided for the distin
guished gentlemen composing the
committee.
At about 3:35 o'clock the proces
sion got under wav, .'tended by the
band. The phalanx marched up
Broadway, followed by tho commit
tee in carriages. The Governor's
residence was reached about 4 o'clock.
An immense concourse of people as
sembled about the Executive Man
sion, and police were stationed about
to prevent injurious trespasses upon
the grounds surrounding tho resi
dence. Guests were prompt in ar
riving, and when the members of the
two committees were provided for
there was very little extra space. The
ceremony took place iu tho largo
handsome main parlor of tho Man
sion. The only attempt at adorn
ment was seen in huge banks of (low
ers, which rested upon the mantels
of the parlor and library.
The ceremony was brief, but ex
ceedingly impressive. The arrival of
tho committee in a body was tho sig
nal for the concentration in tho main
parlor. There the Committee of No
tification took a position on the south
end of the room, and tho members of
the National Committee on the north.
Space was reserved in tho centre,and
as soon as the preparations wore com
pleted the Governor entered through
the hallway, standing with his back
to the flower bunked mantle. The
ladies of the party stood near the
Governor at his loft. His appearance
at tho doorway was the signal lor a
hearty and spontaneous outburst of
loud clapping, which continued for
several minutes. As soon as this had
subsided Col. Vilas, of Wisconsin,
chairman of tho late Democratic Na- !
tional Convention and of the Notifi- '
cation Committee, stepped slightly
forward, and, addressing the Gover
nor in a clear, resonant tone, and
with marked enthusiasm, said: "Gro- j
ver Cleveland, Governor of the State
of New York: Those gentlemen my ;
associates here present, whose voice
1 am honored with tho authority to
utter, are a committee appointed by I
the National Democratic Convention, i
which rocently assembled in Chicago, i
and charged with tho grateful duty j
of acquainting you officially, and in
that solemn and ceremonious manner i
which tho dignity and importance of
the communication demand, with the 1
interesting results of its deliberations ;
already known to you through the
ordinary channel of news. Sir, that ;
anybody, convened by direct deloga-
tiou from the Democratic people of i
tho several Stales and territories of j
the republic, deliberating under wit
ness of the greatest assembly of free-
men ever gathered to such a confer
ence in the forethought of an elec
tion which the Constitution imposes
upon them to make during the cur
rent year, have nominated you to the
people of those United States to be
their President for the next ensuing
term of that groat olhoe, and with
grave consideration of its exalted
responsibilities have confidently in
voked their suffrages to invest you
with its functions. Through this
committee the Convention's high re
quirement is delivered that you ac
cept that candidacy. This choice
carries with it profound personal res
pect and admiration, but it has been
in a manner the fruit of these senti
ments. The National Democracy
seek not to present in compliment for
what a man is, nor to remark whrt he
has done, but in the just expectation
of what he will accomplish ns a true
servant of a free people. They con
ceive the public exigency to be now
of traiiscendaut importance, that la
borious reform is imperatively nec
essary to the prosperity and honor of
the republic, and a competent chief
magistrate, must be of unusual tem
per and power. They have observed
with attention your execution of pub
lic trusts, you have held, especially of
that with which you are now so hon
orably entrusted. They place their
reliance for the usefulness of the ser
vices they expect to exact for the
benefit of the nation upon the evi
dence derived from the services you
have performed for the State of New
York. They invito electors and such
proof of character and competence to
justify their confidence that iu the
Nation, as heretofore in the Slate,
public business will be administered
with commensurate intelligence and
ability, with a single eye to honesty
and fidelity, and a resolute and dar
ing fearlessness which no faction nor
combination, no power or wealth, no
mistaken clamor, can dismay or
qualify. Iu the spirit of wisdom,and
invoking the benediction of the divine
creator of men, we challenge from
tho sovereignty of this Nation its
commendation and ratification of our
choice. "Well done thou good and
faithful servant. Thou haat boon
faithful over a few thinirs. will
make thee ruler over many things."
In further fulllilineiit of oiu dulv the
seenjtary will now present the writ
ten communication signed bv the
coimniiti e.
Colonel Vilas was several times in
terrupted by applause. At the rlor.0
of his reuiaiks Nicholas M. Prince,
ol Missouri, sec re In rv of the commit
to.', read the following formal nd-
di:':-. piepmeil by the committee:
New Y..KK, July 2S, 18S4. To
II a oiablo G rover Cleveland:
Sir In accordance with custom
befitting the nature of the communi
cation, the uiidersioneil, representinir
ti.e several States and territories of
tie Union, were appointed a commit
tee by tho National Democratic Con
vention which assembled at Chicago
on the Sth day of the current mouth,
to perform the pleasing office, which
by this means we have the honor to
execute, of informing you of Vour
nomination as candidate of the Demo
cratic party in the ensuing election
for the office of President of the Unit
ed States, A declaration of princi
ple upon which tlie Democracy go
before the people, with the hope of
establishing and m.tiiiiaiuiu"; them in
the Government was made by the
Convention, and an engrossed copy
thereof submitted in connection with
this communication for vour conside
ration. We trust an approval of your
judgment will follow nn examination
of this expression of opinion and
policy, and upon the political con
troversy now inado up we invite your
acceptance of tho exalted leadership
to which you have been chosen. The
election of President is an event of
the utmost importance to the people
of America. Prosperity, growth,
happiness, peace and liberty even
may depend upon its wise ordering.
Your unanimous nomination is a
proof that tho Democracy believe
your election will most contribute to
secure these great objects. Wo as
sure you that the anxious responsibil
ities you must assume as a candidate,
you will have the steadfast and cor
dial support of friends of tlie ciue
you will represent, and in the execu
tion of the duties of the high office
which we confidently expect, from
tho wisdom of the nation, to be con
ferred upon you. You may securely
rely for approving aid upon tho pa
triotism, honor, and intelligence of
this free people. Wo have the honor
to be with great respect. (Siinied)
W.m. V. Villas,
Wisconsin, President,
Nk llol.soN M. Puisck,
Missouri, Secretary,
And the Members of the Com.
Gov. Cleveland, who had st.
meanwhile as an intent listener, re
plii'd as follows: ".Mr. Chairman and
ceiitlenien of the committee Your
t'liuial iiniiimnoeiuout does not of
course convey to mo tho first infunna
t;., f t.,. rcoU!t (,' -J.o Cui.icniioi,
lately held by tho Democrats of the
ration, and yet, when as 1 listen to
yiiir message I see about me repre
sentatives froiu all parts of the land
of a great party, which claiming to
bo a party of the people nsks that
they trust it with the administration
of the Government; and when 1 con
sider, under tho influence of stem
reality which the present surround
ings create, that I nave been oho. en
to represent the plans, purposes and
policy of the Democratic pnrtv, 1 am
pii.ifoundly impressed by tho solemni
ty ol my position. 1 hough I grate
fully appreciate, I do not congratu
late myself upon the distinguished
honor w hich has been conferred upon
id", because inv mind is full of anx
ious desire to perform well the part
which has been assigned to nie. Nor
do 1 at this moment forgot that the
rights and interests of morn than liftv
millions of my fellow-citizens are in
volved in our offorts to gain Demo
cratic supremacy. This reduction
presents to my mind a consideration
which, more than all others, gives to
tho action of my party iu convention
assembled its most sober and serious
aspect. The party and its representa
tives which ask to be ontrustedat the
hands of tho people with the keeping
of all that concerns their welfare are
their safety, should only ask it with
full appreciation of the S'li'ieilness cf
the trust, and with the firm resolve
to administer it faithfully and well.
I am a Democrat tiocause 1 believe
that this truth lies at tho foundation
of true Democracy. 1 have kept the
faith because I believe, ifjrighlly and
fairly administered and applied,
Democratic doctrines and measures
will ensure happiness, contentment
aud prosperity of tho people. If, in
the contest upon which we now enter,
wo steadfastly hold to tho underlying
principles of our party creed, anil at
all times keep in view tho people's
good, we shall bo strong because we
are true to ourselves, and because the
plain and independent voters of the
land will seek by their suffrages to
compass their release from party
tyranny, where there should be sub
mission to popular will, and their
protection from party corruption,
where there should bo devotion to
the people's interests. These thoughts
tend consecration to our cause, and
we go forth, not merely to gain par
tisan advantage, but pledged to give
to those who trust us the utmost ben
efits and purost administration of na
tional affairs. No higher purpose
or motive can .stimulate us to supreme
effort, or urge us to continuous and
earnest labor, and effective party or
ganization. Let us not fail in this,
and wo may confidently Impe to rvnp
tlie full reward of patriotic services
well performed.
I have thus oalledtto mind soniesiin
ple truths, aud I rite though they are,
it seems to me we do well to dwell
upon them at this time. Isludlsoon,
I hopo, signify iu tho usual formal

manner my acceptance, of the nomi
nation which has beou leiidernd to
me. In the mean time, 1 irladly greet
you all as co-workers in a noble
cause."
Th: Governor spoke extemporane
ously, and not without evidence of
deep earnest lies and feeling. Hi.
seemoil to realize the weight of the
responsibility which rested upon his
shoulders as the standard bearer ol
the parly. The address was not only
a model one, but was delivered with
rare grace and effect. The coi,g:atu
lutiotis that were showered upon him
by many distinguished leaders of the
party nt the ch-se of the ceremonies
were sincere and henrtv. After some
time spei.t in social interchange the
doors ol the diniug-ro, mi were swung
open and refreshments pn taken ol.
The city was alive with enthusiasm
to-night. Tho Democratic phalanx,

From the lusetin; of Congress:. 011
Ihc first Monday of last Dicemle",
to its rcont close Helm tor Lamar was
never a day out, of his s. at in 'bo
Senate. No question of legislation
coming before that body which in
any w:i tended to afreet the inteiests
of the Month or the geueial welfare
of the country escaped his scrutiny
and clo.-jc.-jt i;ivtigtitiini. )win; to
the prolonged discussion of the Mor
rison tarill' bill in the House but few
questions of general interest or of
national importance c.nne up for cons
sidcration in the Senate, and there
fore neither opportunity nor neces
sity was presented to inspire or even
rtqnirn one of the Senator's charac
teristic and masterly speeches with
which he is wont to electrify the
whole ualion ut least otico a your,
He, therefore, made no regular speech
during the se-sion, but devoted Ins
lime to the business of legislation
and commit leu work,
YVhon it became known late last
Wednesday evening (hat. Senator
Lamar bad returned I hut morning to
Oxford, and was uuictlv resting at ihc
residence of Prof. Edward Mayes,
a reception was hurriedly arranged,
the services of tho Oxford Brass
Band procured, and shortly 11 f tor
nine o'clock a long procession of citi
zens was on its way to treat the dis
tinguished gcntlemuu to a seramule.
On arriving nt Prof. Maye's stately
edifice the band struck up a spirited
air which was hardly finished bofoie
Col. Lamar stepped out on the front
porch and in his nsu.d social and
familiar way said: "My fiieiids. I am
glad to see you. I wis too much ex
hansted physically to go amongst
you to-day, as I greatly desired to
do, and individually (like you all by
the hind in that warm grasp of

tbo whole people is ever jr ratify iug
to a man of ambition in public life, no
sweeter nor moie harmonious music

bilious of Ihc esteem and love of bis
people at holm-" Col. Lamar iheii
said lie would not lit t'jat lime al-ti-mpt
to make a speech, bnl would
avail hiiiiseli 'of the occasion to cor
rect a report, personal to himself,
which had found circulation in the
newspapers of tlie country, to the
effect that at the eloso of the lute
convention at Chicago be bud spoken
disparagingly of Hie nomination of
cioveriior Cleveland. Some such
utterance as had luou at tributed to
him h id probably been made by a
Col. Lunar, of Georgia, editor of the
Macon Telegraph and Messenger,
but no such expression ever came
from Lunar, of Mississippi. On the
contrary, ho looked uptl 'bo uouii
nation of Cleveland and Hendricks
as eminently wise and proper a
nomination that received his h.wtj
concurrence md would enlist hi...
most active and vigilant support
While bo would not nay tli.U ho bo
lieved Gov Cleveland w as tho strong
est man to bo found in the ranks ol
the Democratic party, yet his uomi
ualion was 1 ho wisest and best, thai
could have been made under the oil'
cuiustiincos. Time was when the
South bad not only furnished tin
ablest and purest statesmen to tin
National Democracy but to tho whole
country. That, lime was past, and
uiifoilmiu'oly now our section and a

party wav viitnully disfranchised
from taking part in the administra
tion and workings of ihe gevernment.
It was not just to disfranchise tho
intelligence, cull ure, literature and I
the civiliz ilion of a country. In fact,
it was a great wrong which a return
to the purity of I be guvoi i.nu ut by
the restoration of the National De
mocracy to power could alone re
move. While slill disclaiming any inten
tion of making 11 speech, he said l;a
