Tiie importation of American poik into Greece has been forbidden by the government. Avery greasy proceeding, to be sure. They are progressing in Franklin county—in lawlessness. Thry’il lynch a man down there after a while for dreaming he "struck at some body’s shadow. Mr. J. J. Havers and Miss Annie Murrell were married at the Meth odist church in Summit,on the even ing of May 2nd. The Le.vdeii tenders its congratulations and biet wishes to the happy pair. A negro fatally stabbed another in Franklin county, near Tryus, on last Saturday week. We have heard none of the particulars, but it is safe to presume he has been lynched be fore now. Our friend herd. Becker has been removed as Postmaster at Wesson, and Mr. E. II. Thompson, a gentle man of Independent or Republican proclivities, appointed in his stead. 1 Civil Service Reform, you know. C-.i„ S. M. Thompson, editor of j the Oxford Eagl', was killed Tues j day evening by the City Marshal while resisting arrest. N:> particu lars. Both of tiie Oxford papers are now without editors, Murray, of the Falcon-, having died within the last two weeks. Hon. A. B. Hurt, of Mississippi, and Miss Belle jWa 1, of Richmond, Va., were married ia the home of the bride on April 25th. The happy pair have settled in Jackson, which they will make their future home. The Leader extends its warmest congratulations. The Marion county Circuit Court adjourned after but a short session. Every one indicted plead guilty except one, and he was acquitted by the jury. He was accused of eating meat which did not belong to him, but he proved himself clear. An honest set, truly, in one 6ense. The 25th anniversary of the pas torate of Rev. Dr. Jno. Hunter, of the Presbyterian church, Jackson, was celebrated last Sunday by the church and the Doctor’s many menus. It was a joyous occasion, and a just tribute to the faithful stewardship of one of the truest men in the Mississippi pulpit. The Times and Intelligencer learns that John Anderson, the young man who raised such a rumpus in Sum mit week before last while drunk, belongs to a nice family, and that that was his first spree. All the more’s the pity; but if Mr. Anderson is the sensible young mau we are willing to give him credit for being, it will be his last. Mr. A. W. Hill, an enterprising artist of Summit, and a gentleman who lent k helping hand to the storm sutferers in their hour of severest need, has taken 12 stereoscope views of the wreck at Beauregard, which can now be bad from him at the price of $2 50 per dozen. Ten per cent of all he realizes on these views, he liberally proposes to con tribute to the Beauregard sufferers. Mr. Frank Jarvis and Miss Susie Z( aly, were married at the residence of the bride’s father, in McComb City, on May 1st. It, is our pleasure to bo well acquainted, porsonally, with the charming bride, and we heartily congratulate Mr. Jarvis on having won the heart an l hand of one of the truest and most lovable of her sex. The Leader wjshcs the happy twain the complete realiza tion of a'l their fondest hopes. The New Orleans Times-Demo crat boasted loudly among its more credulous cotemporaries because it didn’t bite at the big story in the press dispatches about the Texas meteor, but it swallowed the joke of its Wesson correspondent about the Brook haven tailor's bciug blown from Wesson to Beauregard—a mile a minute, amid flying timbers, etc.— without winking. The cyclone played some fantastic tiieks, it is true, but if we’d been going iuto the business at -all, we believe we would sooner have gulped down the lie about the lUOeuCj ^ - - fa vise it Lnst week a Franklin county <or rcspondint announced to oitrjpnadci'B the murder in the south.vurfFin p »r tion of that^oilbTjr, ^»f »r. Isaiah Cain, a woithy.Mscfufln! *1 < vrnld iiliz-n oJlt1 ««ek we have to announce the murder ot Mr. Cain's slayer, at 1 lie hands o! hi e of those lawless mobs for which Fitfflklfn is "jjrdwlh^ f-b famous. Another correspond* nt writing from Meadvill«V gives ti* the fi/lowing |.o11i^;ul’irs oi the diUlcUlly between Mr. Cain and the tugio Amos Ba ley, and a hit t ns to how Bailey was substq leutly dealt with: • The parties had some diflbulty about a l.orse transaction, and Bai ley became very insulting and Cain struck him several blow* with a light stick. Bailey then struck Cain with a heavy piece of timbei about two incites fijnaic and 4 or u feet long which felled him to the earth, fracturing his skull, from which lie died on n.xt day. Bailey was arrested on Monday, was tried belore L. L. Magee, a Justice of the Pence, and found guilty of murder and ordered to jail. lie was placed in the custody of some parties who start! d to Meadiille to put him in jail. He has nut yet arrived here, aud perhaps mver will.” Since the nlnve was received, we have learned from various sources that the deputy having Bailey in charge w as overpow :re 1 bv a body of masked men some where on the road to M alville, and the prisoner forcibly taken from the clutches < f the law and lynched by the roadside. We thought a tew we> ks ago wnen we published a i article or two ngnins mob law, we were done with the subject for at least a rcasona ble time; but we would feel recrcaut to our duty as a public journalist if *ve did not denounce again the hellish and lawless spirit which insists upon riding rough shod over the duly constitucd au thorities of county and State, regard less of the law which they break anew and the ruinous tendency of their ac’s. We can easily imagine the ex cuses those cold-blooded murderers of a helpless prisoner in the custody of the law would offer in extenuation of their act. He had killed a white man—a friend—a neighbor; he de served death, and it were useless ex pense} to try and hang hiru by law; besides, be might get away before being tried; it trod and convicted, he might be pardoned or have his sentence commuted, and it was best to make sure of him while it could be done. Besides all this he was a negro. None of those reasons, nor all of them together, can justify, under existing circumstances, the step that was taken. There is little doubt but what the negro deserved hanging, but it should have been done in the manner presenueu. But if lie deserved hanging for killing a man in hot blood for a fan cied or real personal grievance, what do the men diserve who deliberately plotted his murder, charged upon him while under the protection of an officer, ttieraselves disguised to pre vent recognition, aud liuug him without judge or jury? Men of Franklin, have you thought of this? There is a grotesque inconsisten cy, too, about this cry that the law will uot properly puuish such crimi auls, aud then resorting to the black ness of night, burnt cork and masks, as in the case of the two late Frank lin lynching*, to escape the clutches of the very laws and authority which are proclaimed insufficient. Did you ever think of this, lyncher; you who are too cowardly to ‘come out with uncovered face in daylight aud commit your deeds of bio id for a crime which you declare the law' im potent to punish? If you would exercise the same zeal to see the law executed and honored that you do to violate aud desecrate it, few crimi nals could possibly escape justice. Viewed in all of its aspects, we can see nothing in the act save a spirit of bloodthirstiness, a desire for murder, which will increase till it ends in something worse. The tendency of the thing is ail the time for evil. It is safe to say, that if Tom Bailey had been hung in accordance with law—aud he would have been if the law had been allowed to take its course—this secoud lyuchiug would not have occurred; and there is no telling now who will be the next vie tiin. It may be somebody' w-ill soon be lynched on mere suspicion, and finally the lynchers get up a Kilkenny-cat affair amoDg them selves. W'e have spoken some plain things above, but we have done it iu the in trest of law and what we conceive to be the true interests of Franklin county. The intelligent, law abid ing people of that county owe it to llum-chis,to their children'and their 5ncF| proceeding*.

Hobbs, of The Rrookiiavex Leader, is terribly off the track wfien lie says; •■•all the work on this paper is done by deaf mutes who have already learned the art of printing in other newspaper offices of the I S ate.” The truthjof the business is, there is not one of them who has “learned the art,” and only one who has worked in any other office, and lie not enough to become an experi enced printer. We expect to prepare many of these boys for the work, make them good printers and send them out through this State, to pay her back, in some measure, for the blessings she is affording them at this Institution.— Deaf-Mute Voice We knew you had one young man in your office force who had worked at the printing business before, and we were misled as to the balance o' the statement because your paper is printed in a manner to do credit to accomplished printers.

Gov. Lowry has commuted the death sentence of James Woods and Ben Fletcher, of Natchez, to the penitentiary for life. The commuta tion was recommended by Judge Chrisman, the Sheriffs, Senators* Representatives, Preachers, and many prominent and influential citi zens of Natchez. Last Sunday’s Natchez Democrat has a timely and well considered article on this sub ject. It is well-worthy of reflection. Bancuo Lynch is haunting the footsteps of MeBeth Chalmers, hi having called a convention of the straight-out Republicans to meet in Jackson, June 18th, just as though Chalmers had never said said any thing about a caucus of Republicans and Independents to meet at th' Capitol July 4th.

InTwHiTCIrTininMar^tr^ I,aa4t. ^Meleen Examiner.] yr'—* K«meml>er in asserting your lands *r, that yotl are affixing a I\alio 6r> tlwtn that will 'ha accepted I in Europe who are now carefully scanning the sati stirs of the South; and that you arc writing your State up or down for the next four years unless the legislature of 1884 sees fit to order a new assessment. Money i« going wture lands arc ad vancing in value, and ifbyshort stgtltcd poTTcy you undervalue your lands a* much as usual in listing them with the Assessor, and the total for your county in 1878 does not greatly exceed i« value the present aggregate, you will have only yourselves to blame if money lenders and progressive men take you at your figures, and seek investments for their money in Texas, Florida, Arkansas and Dakota. Many of ypu who are engaged in cotton culture are obliged to obtain advances iu money or supplies, hence it is all important to you to cheapen money, or in other words re duce the rate of interest This you have learned by experience cannot be done by Legislative inactmcnt, for there never was a law framed to reduce the rate of interest or to pun ish usyy that could not lie easily evadecn and there never will be. Such laws only serve to oppress the needy borrower and add to the reve nues of the lender, for if the money is uot sent out of the State it will, like all other commodities or values be governed by the immutable laws of supply and demand, and obtain rates of hire commensurate with the risKa oi me lender, i ransa tions will be made without disinterested witnesses; usury will be deducted from the amount turned over to the man who gives the note, while the paper will only bear upon its face the legal charge; and two dollars worth of security will be reejuired for every dollar loaned; and then again, only those men will be able to borrow money who can be depended upon to regard the “true inward nes-.” of the transaction as a secret of honor—a matter as sacred in its charac ter as garni tiers deem their debts at cards. This being the case, it is all-important to our people who can offer no other securities to the money lend* rs than liens on their lands, to demonstrate to the world that their lands are valuable, and this can only be accomplished by such reasonable and fair assessments as will enc u>age capital to seek in vestment in our county. A little travel will assure any land holder that capita1 is seeking invest ment where lands are high, and steering i loar of every region where the rueu who own the lands decry them. It is all nonsense to expect a money lender to accept a lien upon your farm at ten or fifteen dollars an acre when you' assess it at three or five. Such men are not in habit of giving die benefit of the doubt to their customers, nor are the}’ willing to invest their money where the land roll shows prices to be “at a dead stand,” and that stand the lowest on the continent for fertile and improv ed lands. The land roll of Mississippi iu 1883 will be more closely scanned than any of its predecessors, and we do hope that in every county the valuation will vastly exceed that of the last assessment, thus affording the outside world something like a fair idea of the country’s aggregate wealth, enterprise, advancement and responsibility, while it will at the same time e-nuble the Board of Su pervisors to raise the usual amount of revenue for county am! school purposes, upon a greatly reduced per centago of taxation. %V.

On last Saturday we witnessed a scene, the sadness of which would have melted to pity a heart of stone It was the end of a misspent life. There, where he had gone to obtain the intoxicating fluid which had rob bed him of home comforts, happiness and friends, and urged him on to the grave; there, where he had fallen, a victim of strong drink ; there, on the hard, cheerless floor of a saloon, lay Patrick Dillon, gasping for breath, with no bed save the hard, damp floor, no pillow save his tattered coat, no covering save the thin, dirty gar ments which alone had protected him as he lay on the broad earth, beneath the canopy of heaven, after a drenching rain on the night pre vious. There, with no familiar baud to wipe the death-dew from his brow, no one to soothe Lis last hours with words of love, none to catch a parting message to be treasured in the archives of memory—there, his soul took its flight to the judgment seat of the God who gave it, and his body was placed in the pauper’s grave.—Carroll Watchman. As we write this, there are drunk aids all over this fair State of ours whose habits are leading them step by stop and day by day to a similar fate; and yet there are men of reason and patriotism who contend that the sale of whisky as a beverage is a public necessity. Can truth be so at war with man? Tile Red Cross Socleljr. Amid all the scenes ol excitement, the Red Cross has moved steadfastly forward in the glorious work of re lief. Unmoved by the snarls of dis affection, they have pursued the even tenor of their way, moving neither to the right nor left. They have supplied the wants of (lie suf ferers at Wesson; throughout the countv, and many in Lincoln coun ty. They have honored every draft made by our unfortunate sister town of Beauregard, supDlying every de mand made upon them. This they will continue to do, so long as funds last or occasion exists. What more can men do? Their hands are ch an; their books are balanced, and their consciences are clear, as the morn ing sun. All honor to Capt. Wm. Oliver, President, John Mangum, Secretary, J. G.

Jefferson Davis, in his let ter to the Ladies’ Memorial Associa tion of Montgomery, Ala., regretting that he could not be with them on the Confederate memorial day, said: “The annual offering of fresh flow ers to the memory of the patriots who died in defense of the sacred principles for which the battles of the “war for independence” was fought is the appropriate tribute to men the appreciation of whose vir tues should be as enduring as the ever recurring flowers of Spring. While the purest and the truest— the womeu of the South—come an nually to deck the graves of their heroes, the youth of the land cannot grow up in ignorance or the old cease to remember the debt of grati tude due to those who died that their country might be free as their forefathers left them.” The appointment of Mr. Keim to the position of chief examiner of the Civil Service Commission is a griev ous mistake, because that gentlemau has long been closely identified with the very methods and abuses which the commission was created to antago nize aud overthrow.
