A tremendous circular saw, six feet in diameter, revolving at the rate of six hundred and seventy-two revolutions per minute, is what a company of match makers are using in Michigan. Steam ships between Liverpool and New York are compelled to wait ten or twelve hours at the Mercy and Sandy Hook, respectively, unless they strike the tide current at the right time. The.Sand wich Islands are the most popular resort for people on the Pacific coasts. The steamers plying between California and King Kalakuas' diminions are crowded with tourists seeking pleas ure and health. The Press Convention which met on Wednesday last, received a glorious wel come at the hands of the hospitable citi zens of Jackson. For three days free lunches, free drinks, free speeches, free thought and free rides will he the order of the day. This should always follow when the concentrated, double back action public opinion of the State meets for a roystering ventillation. Our "boss" is there in all his glory. The money centres of the Union are trembling at the failure of the Metropol itan Bank oi New York,for twenty-three millions of dollars. This crash which occurred on the 14th, sends a shiver to many smaller financial concerns else where. Hatch ik Eoote of New York, with branches in Norwich, Conn., and Boston, Mass., caved in soon after. Secretary Folger, of the United States Treasury, is in New York calling in U.S. Bonds as fast as circumstances will al low, trying to restore confidence. "Gen. E. C. Walthall seems to he com ing to the front as a Democratic candi date for Governor of this State. He lias many warm friends throughout the State, and fa a gentleman of fine charac ter, conceded ability, and a good war record. But the General is a modest man—like all great men—and has been quietly pursuing his professional duties, and "hiding his light under a bushel." would like to know how Gen. Wal thall stands on the question of Railroad Supervision, the tariff, and other promi nent topics, and trust some of his friends may induce him to express himself on public topics at an egriy hour."—Vicks burg Post. Whenever the time comes for him to speak or write, there will be no trimming of sails, but direct and straightforward, lie will give his opinions, and they will he strong, cogent and instructive. We A Call ror a County Convention. The State Executive Committee has called the State Conyention to meet in Jackson, June 11, at 11 o'clock a. m., and lias recommended the county' conven tions to be held May' 31,1884. I there fore call a meeting of the Democratic Conservative party of the county of Gre nada, to be held at the Court House in the town of Grenada, on Saturday, May 31,1884. for the purpose of selecting del egates to the State Convention which meets in Jackson, June 11, for the pur pose of selecting delegates to the Nation al Democratic Convention, and to nomi nate a Presidential electoral ticket. Grenada county is entitled to two dele gates. All Democrats and Conservatives are invited to attend. Chm. Co. Dem. Con, Ex. Com. of finance carried on within fictions, intelligent, active and veTare whoUy outside the as we have atudied it R. N. Hall, The recent failures in New York, of the stock gambler Keene, with the let ting down of Ward, Grant & Co., with minor concerns, have all passed over without any signal disturbance of the money market, or the condition of trade at home or abroad. In fact, so great are the resources of this country that a few broken banks or caved-in speculators, no more affect its general status than slight thunder storms here and there, disturb its broad atmospheric conditions. Of course, there are localities where ruined financial agencies spread sorrow and dis may, sweeping away without a moment s warning, the hard earnings of the economical farmer, the precious legacies of the widow and orphan, the first little installments of youthful labor and care, and sometimes the accum\jlated overplus of the active merchant.' How these about in well organized in some come or in ty Tbc scene at the Episcopal Council in Columbus, of the surrender of the vener able Bishop Green, of his Episcopal functions to his assistant and successor, Bishop Hugh Miller Thompson, marks an epoch in the history of that church. Thirty-four years ago Judge Shields, of Natchez, was the medium through which Bishop Green was welcomed to this his new held of lubor in the Diocese of the State of Mississippi. As both were still on the stage of action, how appropriate that the samo good and eminent man should in the name of the Episcopal Church of the State, say farewell in a touching and eloquent letter to the church in reference to the aged patriarch who has fulfilled his mission so nobly,so truthfully and so evangelically ! Verily, to the church then assembled in council, and to the vast audience of spectators, it was a moment of inspiring awe that spread from heart to heart until the large congregation caught the solemn sympa thy of the moment, and every one laid the contribution of a tear to solemnize and sanctify the event Through all these long, ardnrons and wearisome years of his Episcopate, the good Bishop Green has pursued the even tenor of his life with no star but that of Bethlehem to guide him. With a purpose to do good, aB fixed almost as the laws of gravity, he has pursued his annual rounds, leaving wherever he went, the sweet fragrance of a good and pure man. Suspicion, jeal ousy nor factions inside of his church, nor zeal, misrepresentation and slander outside, could ever divert his attention or his time from that grand signal centre, the prosperity of his church and the sav ing of souls, to which he was tending with unwearied march, with all the pow ers of his intellect fully developed, with all the susceptibilities of his nature keen ly alive, and all the hopes of the heavenly future clearly revealed. Now in the 87th year of his age, in the 34th of his Episcopate, and the 50th of his ministry, how appropriate, with his menial faculties keenly active to the responsibilities which he surrenders, that he should turn over to Bishop Thompson, his energetic, warm hearted and tallented successor the cares i,t an office which the feebleness of age alone, prevents him from exercising. 'Twits like a calm, beautiful sunset en circled with purple and gold, surround ing the solemn close of day to the bright ness and brilliancy of the coming morn. Thus has passed out of public sight, one of the best and purest men we have ever known either in the present or the past. That his life, away up on the mountain steeps of his Sewannc home, amidst children, grand children and friends,may pass with a bow of promise that never contracts its span,until God in the fulfill ment of his purpose shall say "'Tis enough, come up higher," is not only the prayer of the writer,but thousands of others all over the State, who, on light winged messengers of love, will send their blessings to be united with his be fore the throne of the Christians good and mighty God. or on to al mighty Another great and mighty force of our late civil war lias passed away, in the death of Judah P. Benjamin on the 7th of May. Mr. Benjamin was one of the most extraordinary men that ever lived in all the long nuccessive ages of civiliza tion. Born upon a distant Isle oi the sea, the very home of emeute and revo lution, Sundomingo, lie came here in early life, and began that remarkable ca reer, that filled two continents with his fame. Beginning life with the absurd prejudices against Ufa race, he arose to eminence Btep by step, until ho stood in the United States Senate, the peer of any there, although a Jew. When the war of the rebellion broke out, with all the instinct of a native patriot, he es poused the causo oi the South, and soon became one of President Davis' most of Florida, he finally made hfa escape from the sleuth hounds upon, his track, and landed in the great city of London, a world within itself, a total stranger to the teeming millioue around him. Undis mayed, he reeorted to his vigorous and powerful pen amongst the great dailies of the mighty city for subsistence Soon the profession of law, of which lie was not only a devoted disciple, but power ful exponent, opened a way not only for . a living, but for fame and immortality in . ,„d .....h, i... yers have a posttliumous fame. Step by step he arose rapidly And grandly until his opinions were quoted as authority in highest tribunals oi the United Kingdom Fortune flowed in with this success „nd soon, Judah P. Benjamin the voluntary exile from his own land, stood at the head of British Bar. Declining in health and master of an ample fortune,he retired to the gtty nity ol Paris, to w-ind hi. daysamidst the pleasures of home life andthe sweetassociationof private friend ships. When leaving the scene of his London triumphs, the great lawyers of the Crown and ol the Kingdom, tender him a complimentary banquet, which we believe proved his last attendance on such occasions. In the midst of this mighty gathering of great intellects and great functionaries, he was feasted and toasted, as no man, not to the manner ^ e ™ nd £ t b£ ronly'likta Sf hfa na tive South, or the murky atmosphere "the Britfanlsl" he proved himSelf a Sum to be honored ancttrusted and loved, trusted advisers personally, as well as a cabinet officer. To his past tie clung, until the confederacy collapsed by flight of its representative heads. For weeks, wandering almost alone upon the coasts We take it for granted, that no inno cent man will use any technicality of law or other adventitious circumstance to shield him, when accused of gross wrong in the administration of his public du ties. Why Kellogg, vaunting of his! innocence of any complicity in the Star \ route frauds and swindles, should have | availed himself of the statute of limita tions to squelch at once investigation of the facts, can be accounted for only up upon the presumption of his guilt, To escape the exposure of a trial, and the possible contingency of a verdict of guil ty from a Washington jury, where it is said that every man as a juror in im portant has his price, were the two mo tives of this morally distorted and po litically corrupt Representative from Louisiana, How far his thieata of ex posure of Republican crookedness in the administration of state and federal laws went to overawe the department of jus of of in tico at Washington, we are left to con jecture only. If the Republican party of the nation wishes to purge itself of its political blunders and crimes, the best is to take such fellows ns. Kellogg way and pitch them out of its ranks, defiant ly saying to them, tell all ydu know, we are now bent on clearing the decks of all dead and mutilated, that have so long encouuibered our aetion and progress. The masses of all great parties in this country are honest, for they have no mo tive to be otherwise. For a time, they may stoop to conquer through the doubt ful and desirous methods of leaders, who spur them on with a war whoop ttial, would startle a Coinmanche chief, but in the end, they will pause and fall back upon the simple methods of law and jus tice, regarding both force and fraud, as the product of wild passion and ungov ernable zeal. We hope that Springer's committee will ferret to the bottom, the facts, why Kellogg was not prosecuted in time. Methodists that time. The late Conference ot Methodists that convened iu Philadelphia, was one of the largest that ever met in city. It was here that Methodism,iu the early history of this country, went through the trying period of distinct ganization - Now, however, it is a moral and religious organization felt and ac knowledged not only there, hut in every city in the broad land. It was at first thought that its compact association and simple theology was only suited to the backwoods and frontier life, and So it has in this respect proven superior to every other Protestant denomination. AmoDgst the fishermen of the western lakes and rivers, the miners of the coal beds of Pennsylvania, the gold hunters of the Sierras, or wherever adventurous and reckless men assemble in great num bers, the first sound of the gospel that breaks upon the ear of the discordant multitude, comes from some brave, true and devoted Methodist preacher. He is not disconcerted whether he has ten or hundred for an audience. If lie finds them disposed to yield to the tragic story ot the cross, he will preach Christ crucified for them right then and there. If this plaintive tale does not touch their sympathies, he will hurl lied and damna tion, in glowing balls of fire, at them until their knees smite like BeWiazzas'. The gambling den and the rum house soon sing out praises to Jehovah, and forthwith a church is established. Their preachers lor a long time were sub jected to the reproach ui unlettered men; but they have long since gotten bravely over that, and now from their numerous high institutions of learning tiny send out, yearly, scores of highly educated scholars, who arecapable »f entertaining cosmopolitan congregations in our largest cities. No branch of the Christian church is pressing on with more energy and success in education upon a broad and liberal scale, than the Methodists. Verily, they are a power in the land and of right, should he. that ancient or an Mob law has got to lie so common all over the country, that the negroes are taking to it to avenge real or fancied in juries. On the 28th of April, by name of Samuel Wilson was tak en fi om Deputy Sheriff Lawson near Skipwiths lauding and hung to a limo ot „ tree on Steels bayou.
