The Lawlessness of Monopoly.
From a recent letter of the great con
stitutional expounder and champion of
popular rights. Judge Jeremiah Black, of
Pennsylvania, we hare copied an ex
tract :
"The Constitution what is it f The
self-imposed restraint of free democra-
upon it own political action.
the power of the oivnn ,t
is limited and the equal rights of all Un
people are protected. Shall it be obeyed?
On ouch a question what argument can' you
or I or anybody make? To patriot the
duty of defending it bj too plain to be en
forced by words, and the greedy monopolist
or the scurvy politician drivels like u idiot
when he tries to give reasons for violating
it. Nevertheless it is constantly disregard
ed by those who swear to observe it. The
interests of a staas are stronger than the
rights of the people. Stafford the Minister
of Charles I., impudently declared that the
little finger of the King was heavier than
the loins of the lav,. Monopoly is kiag in
tics country and Reads beheading more than
the most perfidious of English monarch
Its excessive and lawless taxation of laud
arid labor is more intolerable tlr.n anything
the civilized world has seen sinre the out
break of the first French revolution. What
is the remedy ? Not enforcement of the Con
stitution and l aws, which command what is
right and prohibit what is Wrong, tor that
Cannot be effected w ithout officer that are
faithful, As it is, our Governors do not
govern, and legislators laugh in your fact
when you tell them of their oaths. Shall
we tarn them out and fill their places with
true men? That i- easier viid than done.
Monopoly has methods of debauching party
leaders, cheating voters, and deceiving the
very elect, which perpetually defeat our
hope of hoaMt government. If the power
of tht corporations Increase! a little more,
they can put their worst rascal into the
highest office as easily as Caligula's horse

two birds with one stone."
Port Gibson, it is hardly necessary to
say, i the county-seat of Claiborne
county, and is one of the oldest towns
in the Southwest, its settlement dating
back to the early part of this century.
It took its name from the first settler

Much has been said about the addres
ses of Capt. Put Darden, Master of the
State Grange. To satisfy the public de
sire on this subject, we have copied in
another column from the YYoodville lie-
publican a report of his address at thai
place, to which we will add the follow
ing extract from a spirited report of his
address at Tangipahoa church, in the
Summit Times-Intelligencer, showing
the growth and vitality of the Order of
Patrons of Husbandry:
Captain Darden began his address by
referring to the unprecedented progress
of the Order. Seven years ago, when he
took the lecture field scarce a handful
of men were present at his first few
meetings in Wilkinson, Amite and Pike.
He was compelled he said, to speak in
private houses, and frequently to less
than a doen people. Politicians and
the monopolists frowned on tin

and if great wealth doe.- not still abound

several hOUSQS hero that ilo a DBSiUMS ot
one hundred thousand dollars a year,
and who have the cash capital to buy
and pay the very highest prices for cot
ton ami other products. We have some
extensive houses in Jackson, hut there
are at leas? two here that eclipse any
establishment the State Capital can boast
of.
Port Gibson has hithertobeen quite in
accessible except by river, and a railroad
eight miles trom urana uuii. mis
road has been purchased by the Louis
villc, Memphis and New Orleans Rail
road. and the rails will betaken up in
8 few weeks. The road named, it is
thought, will run its first locomotive into
Port Gibson on the 4th of July, and the
event is to be celebrated in an excursion
to and grand jollification in the Hill City.
But yon n iw reach Port Gibson from
Jackson in less than live hours, via Her
manville or Martin Stations, at which
points first-class hacks meet all the t rains
at the moderate cost of one dollar for
the trip.
POPULATION A N l EDUCATION.
Port GlbflOll has a population of about
1500, which must ere long be very large
ly increased by the advantages it affords
in the way of schools and factories.
The Port Gibson Female College, which
was incorporated in 1854, and launder
the auspices Ot the Mississippi t onter
eneeof the M. E. Church, is an imposing
and spacious establishment, and is well
patronized. Rev. T. C. Bradford is the
President. Ohamborlain-1 hint Academy
has about one hundred boys in atten
dance, under a line corps of teachers.
Prof. Leckey, who has been the Princi
pal for several years, is a superior-educator,
has recently resigned with a view to
assuming charge of the Huntsville Fe
male Seminary, Alabama. The trustees
conclude to invite itself to hi town. I
don't think he would Ik- a very industri
ous chairman of a local committee of
arrangements. But whatever may In1
the Major's notions as to the utility of
the Press Convention, the journalism of
Mississippi does not afford the name of
one who has a more exalted conception
of the mission of the press, or who
wields a readier or more prudent and
conservative pen.

have congregated and great interest is
demonstrated. The press, once silent,
(or a respectable minority of the leading
journals of the State) he said, is striking
telling blows in behalf of the farmer's
cause. He was pleased to see it. In the
place of twelve Grange organizations in
the State of Mississippi, there are now
230 subordinate Granges and instead of
f00 menilers, they now have upwards of
15,000 in the Suite
College, and has a moderate endowment
derived from the assets of Oakland. It
is under the fostering care of the Pres
bytery of Mississippi, and a committee
of that body, consisting of Messrs.
Stratton, W'oodbridge, and Shaw, are now
in attendance on the closing exercises of
the session.
Tiik Chickasaw Messenger publishes
the following extract of a letter which
is sufficiently suggestive without a word
of comment :
A few days ago I occupied a seat in a
nossenarer car. on the Mobile and Ohio
Railroad, just behind two prominent
railroad officials, when I heard the fol
lowing conversation: "We must look
after our interest in the election this
fall, and see that the farmers do not
get control of the Legislature. If they
do they will have Railroad Supervision
Lo Spite of us; and it will be best and
cheapest for us to pay the expenses of
our candidates in the different counties,
than to run the risk, and have to pay
out a good deal more to the Legislature.

FACTORIES.
One of the handsomest cotton factory
buildings to be seen anywdiere, has been
erected here within the past two ye..rs.
It is 187 feet long bv feet wide, and
two stories high. It will be supplied
with machinery during the present year,
and will give employment to a good
many people.
The Port Gibson Oil Works were erect
ed in December, 1882, and have dene a
booming business from the first. The
budding and maehmcrv cost atiout 2i.-
000, but the capacity of the Works will
have to be greatly increased in order to
supply the demand for the superior oil
and meal produced. The owners are.
Messrs. K. ('. Englesing Ac Son, Herman
Goenel. Robert Ernest, Chas, Hofer and
Stephen Schilling Wilson's great Valley
road, (hereafter to be known as the
Louisville, Memphis and New Orleans
R. R.,) passes directly in rear of the Oil
Works.
The people of Port Gibson very prop
erly indulge in great expections in ref
erence to this roaa. l he instance trom
Memphis to New Orleans will be about
450 miles; from Memphis to Port tibaon,
ibout 270 miles, substantial induce
ments will be Offered lor the location ot
the Company's shorn here, and it would
no doubt be as good a point as could be

certainly made a favorable tmprossiot
on the' people along the route, and
General Manager Jas. M. Edwards is
especially spoken of for his business
tloil should hnve taken place in
but circumstance did not favor
now .
The commemoration exercises were
begun yesterday ( Sunday ) morning. The
spacious and handsome church, erected
just prior to the war, at a cost of forty
thousand dollars, was handsomely de
corated. On the wall, back id' the pul
pit, were the words. "Ye Shall Hallow
the Fiftieth Year." A portrait of lb.
Butler, painted during the first vears of
his ministry, wa- suspended on the right
of the pulpit, and a portrait of Rev. Dr.
Price oa the left. Rev. Dr. J. It. strat
ton, of Natchc, Rev. J. Woodbridge, of
Wesson, and the pastor, Rev, 1 1. A.
Planck, occupied the pulpit. The verj
large audience room was nearly tilled there
being no service at the other churches,
and many persons being present from the
Surrounding country. I lie best musical
talent of the town composed tic- choir,
and to say that this part of the service
was fully equal to the occasion, is but
moderate praise. Dr. Stratton preached
the morning sermon, taking as his text
the last clause of -d Chronicles o:14
"for the glory of the Lord has filled the
house of (ioil." He spoke forty-live
minutes. His theme could not have
been more appropriate. Toward the
close of his discourse, he made several ten
der allusions to Dr. Butler, with whom he
had been very intimately associated, and
to whom be ministered in bis dying
hour. l)r. Stratton has been pastor of
the Natchez church forty years, and his
congregation have intimated a purpose
to make public recognition, in December
next, of his life and tabors among them.
In the afternoon, the children ot the
church hud an exceedingly appropriate
service, duriii'- which tu:v. Messrs.
Woodbridge, Shaw and Planck, and your
correspondent, made sh irt addresses. A
bright voung miss, Nilhc Wood, recited
a poem written for the occasion. Each
class marched In with a banner, and
during the exercises each recited a motto.
Thftinging was excellent, closing with
the '-Sweet Hv-and-Jiv.
At night there was another large con-
grcgation. to listen to the historical dis
course bv the pastor. Rev. A. McCal-
lum, the oldest member of Synod, being
in his eighty-second year, offered a fer
vent prayer, when Mr. Planck proceeded
at once with the labor of love he had
undertaken. His sketch must have been
intensely interesting to the members of
the church, and of toe entire community,
for it dealt with persons and events with
which all were more or less identified.
But there were matters in bis discourse
of general interest, some of which I will
endeavor to recall.
He repudiated that feeling which, to
some extent prevailed that Presbyterians
are deficient in the pioneer spirit that
they wait until a way has been blazoned
before they entered the wilderness, and
after citing instances from Scottish,
Welsh and French history, thought that
a correct narrative of church work in
the Territory of Mississippi would be
creditable to' the zeal of Presbyterian
ism. He claimed that the first church moir
ment in the way of tending the gospel to
this section was that of the Board of
Missions of the Presbyterian church in
New York, which, in 1798, commissioned
Rev. Joseph Bullen to visit the Chicka
saw Indians, and report as to the best
way of establishing a mission station
among them. In 1800, the Synod of
North Carolina appointed three ministers
to the American settlement in southwest
Mississippi Rev. Wm. Montgomery,
Rev. Jas, Hall and Lev. Jas. Bowman.
They arrived in 1801 and organized the
the first church in 1804. These three
made the journey on horse back, by way
of Nashville, and thence over the route
known as the Natchez Trace. They
braved the dangers that made this road
famous. Thev were nearly starved on
the journey. The last dust of meal
had beeU eaten, when they caught a
racoon. At two o'clock in the morning
of December 4, 1880, they heard the
was erected, and there, in 107, a church
was regularly organized by Rev. Jos.
Bullen and Rev. Jas. Sniylie. It was in
the name of that church that Dr. But
ler Itejjan his ministry. The Presbytery
of Mississippi, (which had bee organ
ized in IHlti) convened in Port liihson
on the first Wednesday in April. Mo,
and on the following Saturday Zebulon
Butler was set apart to hi life-work.
Up to that time, the eople had leen
without the wholesome restraints of re
ligious institutions. Port Cilisou was
a "fat" place, but this youthful ambas
sador of (Jod had (Mine to conquer,
through the arm of His poWVf and the
grace of His love. On one occasion, the
Rev. Jas. Grifln, a Methodist minister,
characterised the town in terms more
strong than complimentary. He was
threatened with tar and feathers if he
attempted to preach again, but the brave
soldier of the Cross kept hisappoihtmciit.
Zebulon Butler was bom in Wilkes
barre, IV, S-ptember 'J.'l, 1808, irrad
Uated at Princeton, and in I8M WM
recommended to some citiaens of Vieka
burg who had made injuries as to a
suitable young minister for that not very

would not do the preacher the compli
ment to close his door during the hour
of service. He retired from the licit)
hopelessly discouraged, without having
attempted to organ las a church.
lie was then invited to Port Oibson.
His culture, his elcirant attainments,
his exceedingly handsome appearance
hi- beautiful consecration, bis Unaffected
zeal and hi social excellencies, at once
made him an object of admiration and
respect throughout the community. He
came to Port (iibson in the fall of IS27.
A church building was erected in 1839,
The present building was completed in
1S.V.I, and the first service held in same
was at the funeral of him who planned
and brought it to completion. After a
continuous pastorate of thirty-three
years, he died December 33d, 1886,
Mr. Planck also made appropriate
mention of the Eldership, the Sabbath
School and Ladies' llenevolents Sicietv.
Rev. Root. Price. D. D., was installed
pastor of the church November o, 1865,
continuing live years; and Mr. Pl un k
entered on his work in May, 18T8, hnd
very acceptable he is the Hock and to
the community. Pitting mention was
also made of ministers w ho had served
the church temporarily between the reg
ular pastorates.
Attlie morning service, a very lilieral
thanksgiving- ottering was collected by
the deacons. The plastering of the
church had fallen several months ngo,
entailing considerable exjiensc in repair
ing the damage, all of w hich has been
handsomely met.
A sociable to-night, to which the pub-
lie generally is invited, oloses the com
memoration services, The ladies have
prepared sixty gallons ice cream, and
other good things in proportion, and as
it will all be dispensed, ''without money
and without price," the attendance
promises to be very good. A full show,
and especially free icecream, w ill "draw"
in Port Gibson as elsewhere.
I witnessed this morning the exercises
in nailing and aritliinietic in the pn
paratorv department id' Chamberlaiii-

indignation and talks of lynching was
the result here to-night of the first pub

Mormon missionaries, who have been
gathering recruits in the section for the
last two weeks. The four missionaries
have been holding prayer-meetings and
presenting Mattering inducements to con

three men who have prolWscd the faith
were baptized in Duncan Creek. Several
hundred people, about half being women
gathered on the banks to witness the
ceremony. The place was lit up by pine
knots and torches. The converts and
misuionarics arrived about" o'clock, and
