have much thought of national politic;

can we be-t ca-.t off the Kadical yoke?
Thi-. ipte-tion forced itself upon every
patriotic citizen. In the South were
numbers of O! 1 Line Whigs, who were

distrusted with the Grant Adminis

naturally presented itself to the
thoughtful student of 1; the political
situation, how to unite into one solid

upon a Kingle purpose. Mr. Parlidale
iu eoiiiinoii with other prominent
Mississippi IVuiocrat., conceived the
plan of throw iiiir awnv all old names

object. In thi number are to lie

getting money without performing labor
after his feat of searching for Confed

We wish to call attention to a com
ui miestion quoting a letter from Tcxa?
which advises Mississippians to stay at
home. A to the merits of the stricture!
on Tetas we are not a competent critic.
Th advice to ty in Mississippi is ex

Wv devote nearly the whole of the
outside tUia week to what purport to be
the proposed reply of Judge Iiluck to
Presidcut Davis's recent letter. We
have our grave doubt about it geiiipno
tiess and dislike to devote to it so much
pace, but as we wih our readers to see
both sides, have concluded to put it be
fore them in full and let them pas up
on its merits. We doubt whether Mr.
Davis will deem it worth while to make
a reply to' thi posthumous production,
but the record of bis life and the testi
mony of men yet living, will vindicate
him from all assattlls made upon his
acts or bis character.
We regret to notice that Mr. Kugene
Taylor, of Meridian, had his arm broken

The sentiment in favor of regulating
and controlling corporations, not with a
view to injure the corporations, but to
protect the people is growing in favor.
The recent decision of Judge Cooley is
regarded as a very clear and just ex
ponent of the attitude of corporations
to the public. The Republican conven
tion of the State of New York passed a
resolution in favor of legislative control
of corporations in the interest of the
general welfare. The Chicago Tribuue
has the following which is taken from a
longer editorial.
Perhaps nothing has contributed more
to the spread of anti-monopoly senti
ment than the assumed right and avowed
puqio.se on the part of the corporation
managers to "charge as much as the
busi mis will bear." This phrase so de
fiantly proclaimed from the housetops,
has revealed to the people in every sta
tion the logical consequence of conced
ing to the corporation entire indepen
dence of all higher control and of all
responsibility to the public. The stereo
tvped defense urged bv the organs of
the monopolist that private capital has
tne right to manage its own business
has no longer the element of alarm with
which it formerly appealed to conserva
tive men. Proper regulations of corpor
ate affairs in their relation with the pub
lic docs not porend any interference
with private capital. - " If tin
theorv oi .Mate regulation, which in
volves the theory of national regulation

in. holing the steps in the aisles of the
gallery, aud hundreds were standing in
side aud outside the building. The tab
ernacle has a seating capacity of
six thousand, so that the great
preacher's audience numbered fully
seven thousand. The personal ap
pearance of Dr. Talmage has been so
often described, that I will omit any
refsrence thereto. Promptly to the ap
pointed minute, he ascended the plat
form, which fronts the organ and which
forms a part of that huge musical
machine. There is no pulpit a small
table, and a plain chair constituting all
the furniture. The organist and cornet
ist sit in front of the preacher. Dr.
Talmage read, as the first part of the
service, Paul's 2d Epistle to Timothy,
commenting briefly as he proceeded, and
laying special stress upon the passage,
"Preach the word, be instant in season
and out of season." Then followed the
Long Metre Doxoljgy, led by the cor
net; the'n the hymn "When shall I
reach the heavenly place T' by a quar
tette of male voices. Then Dr. Talmage
read the hymn "Salvation,-(), the joyful
sound, glad tidings to our ears," in
which the entire congregation was in
vited to join, and thousands did so very
heartily. Dr. Talmage then offered
prayer, and as he closed the same w ith
the words, "May the last, lon, deeji
sigh of earth be the first inhalation of
heaveu," the quartette sang, "We shall
meet beyond the river, bye and bye."
Dr. Talmage then made sundry an
nouncements, after which he saidr "We
will now make an offering to the Lord
for bis gooduess and mercy," whereupon
fifty or more collectors passed through
the congregation, aud I presume a hand
some sum was the result. During the
collection, the organ and cornet gave ns
a grand duet, after which Dr. Talmage
read and the congregation sang, "Hark,
the voice of Jesus culling, Who will po
aud work to-day ".'". Dr. T. then an
nounced his text: Luke ix, 60 "Go
thou and preach the Kingdom of God,''
bis theme being: the coining sermon, or
the sermon of the future. It occupied
thirty-five minutes in delivery. He
don't believe in long sermons, and in
that particular practices as he preaches.

What is to be done, and
who U t unravel the snotty question
that landlords may realize something
from their lauds? While thus weighed
down wit suspense and fearful forebod
ing, the: merchant, for the first time,
under the new reijiiu't appears upon the
scene with characteeistic complacency
and roys f "I can point the way out of
the quagmire.! . It is easy enough, to
be sure, no one under the new law can
mortgage ersonally, but it does not ap
ply to real estate. .So jnst give me a
Deed of Trust on your land, and I will
furnish all the negroes you can cram on
i.
There is no alternative left the poor
deluded landlord. His first step must j
be to secure the merchant with his Deed
of Trust, for the laborers must be sup-1
plied or no land worked. Then begins
the landlords nnceasing physical toil
and hardships. He enters upon his new
rolr of overseer for the merchant. He
must follow' the hands from daylight till
dark, from January till January, and in
the fall all-night work is added to the
day, to prevent seed cotton traffic. And
finally he must see his crops safely
hauled and turned over to the merchant
for supplies credited at loO or 200 per
cent. No backing out! Pay up prompt
ly or away goos the land !
'I Pendiug this legerdemain between
merchant, and overseer how ia it with
the miiklle man Cuffee? We find him
sounding his whangdoodle of triumph
and looking on, as he haa been working
all the year, with perfect indifference.
What does he care? He sees no loss to
him, one way or the other. He has
nothing at stake, and it may be ques
tioned whether a landlord could collect
anything from him, since it is proposed
to do away with all chattel liens.

Editors Ci.abios: The. probability
of needed assistance to farmers in this
section as mentioned in my last letter
causes me to make a suggestion which
might lead, if followed up, to a gen
eral system of relief whenever large
sections are visited by unexpected
calamity, or, indeed, to one that might
be applied to individual cases.
The United States government has a
Large surplus of money, we are its citi
zens, and a good government should
make a provision for stimulating and
encouraging the prosperity of its every
citizen. It sustains to us the relation
of parent. Congress when it meets
should pass a bill by which a fund
should be set apart to be loaned not
given to parties needing it, taking for se
curity mortgages on land, taking the
assessment aa the basis of value for the
land and not leading more than half
the value of th pledge. The rate of
interest should be moderate, say 5 or 6
per cent. - ,
By this means the government could
greatly aid the people in getting out of
debt and increase the general .welfare
There wsuld be no trouble in prescribing
the necessary steps to be taken and
forms to be used to prevent imposition.
I hope that this will meet the views of

At the conclusion of the sermon, the

It exceeds in immensity all possible con'

eights of a mile long, eighty feet wide,
and the distance from the water to the
top of its high towers is 284 feet The
work was commenced in 1875, and the
total cost was nearly fifteen million dol

foot passage is in the center, carriage
drives on seach side. There is also a
railroad track, and an endless wire cable
for pulling the cars across.

This is, indeed, a woeful prospect for
the planter. He has been forced to
shoulder all the credits with all the ac
companying cares, for the privilege of
surrendering his land to the merchant
in the end.
Now, let us tura to the law as it is at
present on the gt.ttnte. To an unbiased
eye, there 'is nothing bulemllv distor
ted. I'or onco and tor a wonder, the
Landlord finds it almost a complete pro
tection of his interest. ' There is no gap
in it for merchant or negro, and even
the lawyer finds it a tight squeeze to
wade it. As thiags are, the landlord
comes first,' under all circumstances
and has but little trouble in collecting.
Then, as there is. bo surety whatever of
bettering the situation ; as there is only
an empty hope running through the ex
pressions of visionary repealers, and as
we all profeas an interest in our agricul
tural wolf are, why -set-let the knralone
as the-beWsafeguards of landlords
against' thievery,' disboneity, petti -fogging
and corruption.' -
Recall the awful condition of Missis
sippi, before the present law came into
force. Nearly every Legislature got np
a new law, for some years after the war,
and landlords should remember what
dreadful times, they underwent to keep
even with merchants, and the sharks
that were constantly preying upon
them. .
Observe the fallacy of the assertion,
that the existing law causes the present
hard times in the country. The law
does not of itself, by any means, create
the credit system. This system was in
operation before, and will continue to
be, in one shape or another, till the end
f time. When it is, irked such rea

Hardly able to furnish breakfast for
themseves, to siy nothing of the teuaut ;
and nuder such circumstances, thev
would be compelled under the repeal to
run a risk of sacrificing shelter to ap
pease hunger. Let the common land
lords, in some way discover, that this
serious change is contemplated and they
will greatly preponderate iu the cry of
" hands offouroulv safeguard." Beine a
passive people, with thought and hands
absorlnsJ in their avocation, thev are
mostly unaware of doings outside 'their
boiiies. i.ut advise them fully of this
move touching their fundamental inter
feres!, and they would stamp an unmis
takable quietus to any such suggestion.
They have seen too many plantations
go up, under deeds of trust to now risk
their own- The are hardly aware of a
single place, worked under a deed of
trust, that has not turned out disastrous
trously to the owner, aud they have
been stintine themselves and livinir
hard to avoid being thrown into this
very predicament. And as tor its giv
ing' them absolute control of labor they
know better. They have rubbed the
skin of the Ethiopian with all kind of
liniments, and find it uncontrollable and
firmly set in its stubborn nature and he
most abide the time for nature and not
human laws to bring about desired
changes.
In endeavoring to point oat successful
planters under such a svstem as that
proposed the more observant xommon
er, will at the same time call vour atten
tioil to the large banc aecouut and the
immense stores of those tortunates and
bring your eve to bear on his own fleeced

is through buying for cash, selling for
cash, trading with cash and settling with
cash, that fills the coffers of those men
and not hard licks in the sou. Ruling
prices of" cotton will not warrant any
marmn above a scanty living, lf anv
extras are demanded, the planter must,
throuaii his unburdened banc account,
set up stores ana other outside shows.
Start the commoner on the same footing
and he will cheerfully adopt the same
system otherwise he must struggle on
as his means, reason aud judgment
authorize. Prudence, and reduced cir
cumstance., win not anow mm to rush
blindfolded into air built schemes.
There is no hope for the weak plan
ter in the change but should the repeal
take etteet, it will prove a boon to the
capitalist in another way. In the aban
donment ot their plantations bv the
commoners, for lack of means of con
ducting them under the new order,
many hands, thus set adritt would per
haps not leave the State, but flock around
the store houses of these few monopo
lists placine them in a position, not only
to secure a superabundance ot labor, but
to dictate terms.
But while working so favorably for
capitalists would the state not sutler in
beholding the exodus of her yeomanry.
who seeing themselves and-their lands
abandoned to the mercv of moneyed
kings, may determine to try their for

probable and the old mother should
ponder seriously the contemplated
change ere she plunges into an irretriev
able blunder. And in view of the fact
that the legislature, at its next meet

tion, does it not behoove representatives
to study it well in all its bearings, and
be sure ot the wishes ot their coasti

It is uttelry impossible that a mind, so

Yet the withdrawal of Mr. Bardsdale
may have an important bearing on po

to foresee what political rivalries and
jealousies may do with the party he has
so wisely and skillfuly guided through
many a dark day of trouble. We say
emphatically "ho" because he was the
helmsman who steered the ship to a safe
anchorage when she was badly tossed in
a stormy sea. Others have claimed much
for themselves, and much is due totheni,
and others have antagonized him with
a fierceness, born of jealousy; but it was

If we had not before spoken of the

cause our admiration for him as a great

years he has been an acknowledged power
in Mississippi, aud to have conducted the

a great and brave manhood. Such a
task fur so long a time imposed by the
common consent of his party IVsinocrats
shows the confidence thev reposed in
him as well as the acknowledged success
with which he discharged it. Mai.
Barksdale is emphatically a man of

The latest statement of the coin In the

Eastern journals that have been plead

INTERESTING. PROJECT OF AN OLD ? ALT
AND A YOUNO FAICOIER.
Young Fritz Uhlenhaut. of No. 197
Pearl street, and Capt. Nordenhold, a
retired German sea captin, who resides
in Brooklyn, have undertaken the phil-
aninropic wora oi esiaoiisinng a Iiom-
ing-pigeon oeean service system. Cant.
Fordenhold is an old salt and when he
sailed over the ocean blue, he usual v
took several hoiiiing-pigeons on board,
and when at some distance ont at sea
he sent the birds home with messages
l: . . 'l . a n. , '
"i uis irimius asuore, veiling mem how
he fared. Young Lhlenhaut is
pigeon-fancier and keeps about 1-50 of
these earner birds at his house. When
the captain suggested to the vauna
. ! - 1. f . . 1 . ... . ' .
mau vac tumui esiaousuing a homing
pigeon sea service. Mr. Uhelenhaut's
father gave bis son every encourage
ment, telling him that If he succeeded
in saving the life of even one sailor or
passenger he would feel far greater
satisfaction than if he had won a hundred
prizes in pigeon races. The vom.
man determined to act upon the cap
tain's and his father's suggestions, and
began training hi3 pigeons by send
ing them on steamers going" down
south. The captains' of the vessels at
first let the birds loose a few miles from
port, and thaq the distanoe was gradu
ally increased, Capt. Nordenhold said
yesterday that they intend to have birds
trained for the ocean steamer as well,
and he believes that tha birds could to
trained to bring back messages from as
tar out as the ueorgia shoals, that are
in 65 longitude about 300 miles from
New York. Should a steamer meat with
an accidentnd need assistance the birds
could be easily sent hack with messages,
and would arrive in a few hoars. On
Monday last - they sent 10 homing
pigeons oy me uermau steamer i.lbe,
whn request to the captain to Jet them
loose at 5 o'clock. By some mistake or
other they were not let loose until 6 :3t
o'clock and were therefore compelled to
fly about over tha sea all night. Early
the following . morning seven of the
birds returned to their cotes, among,
them one that bore a message from the
captain of the steamer. The message
was written on a slip of paper that was
lightly rolled ',np and put into a small
quill, and this was .tied en the pigeons
tail. The note stated at what hour the
bird had been dispatched, and was signed
by the paptaln.
Three of the birds did not return, and
it was supposed that they had either
fallen into the sea during" the night or
had been caught by hawks, with which

Wlule they have been cared for by Sir.

Our first and last appeal to the public
at large, issued May 1, 1SS1, met with
such a generous response at the hands ef
inr puuue that it has enabled ua to sap
port the orphans since that day to this.
In the interim we have received hand
some donations from the Grand Lodge
of Masons of Mississippi, the Lodge of
Natchez as well as from other organiza
tions. ,iow, however, our. funds are
very low, and therefore we feel con
strained to appeal to the generous senti
ments of the friends of the orphans.
While we feel that the season ia hot far
enough advanced to make money more
plentiful than It is, yet we cannot over
KXm; the fact that our inmates must suf
fer unless prompt returns be made to
this our appeal. We would therefore
request you to take action at as early a
day as possible, and throneh vour
