When a man wanti to “shuffle off this mortal coil’’ in Alabama, be takes “Rough on Rats ’’ Three have been recently landed on the other side of Jordaa in this way. The colored Republicans of Hinds and Madison counties are offering to fuse with the Democrats, with strong probability of acceptance. The Independents sre unhappy. We notice in the Summit papers that Hon. H. Q. Bridges is announc ed as a candidate for District-Attor ney in this District. He is a popu lar gentleman and a good lawyer. A mail bag was stolen from the depot at Wesson last week and cut open aDd rifled of it contents. Only a small amount of money was found. The thief missed the bag containing the moBt valuable registered pack ages. Though not a candidate in the ordinary acceptation of the term, Dr. E. A. Rowan of Beauregard, ha9 signified his willingness to accept a nomination for the Legislature from the Democratic Convention of Copiah. There is no better man in the county. It is stated that W. H. Kernan, Esq., announces his intention to re turn to the South. If lie will come and confine himself to writing poetry we will not object; but it is about 18 years too late in the 19th centu ry for any more of the Okolona States style of prose. We return thanks to President S. D. Lee tor an invitation to attend the Commencement exercises of the A. A M. College, Jime 17-20. There will be 8 graduates this year, the first the Institution hasevtr turned out. The Salutatory of the class will be delivered by Mr. B. Walker, ofStarkville, and the Valedictory- by Mr. B. H. Lee, of Columbus. A Washington telegram of the 7th lost, says the question where the next national conventions are to be held is being discussed. Leading Jtapublicans say that if the Repub licans carry Ohio, Cincinnati will be selected for the Republican Couven lion. It is stated that the Iroquois Club of Chicago is taking steps to have the Democratic National Con vention held in that city. There is some talk in favor of Long Branch for both Conventions. The Democrats of Iowa were In Convention at Dos Moin s last week. Judge Kirme was nominated for Governor on the first ballot and delivered an address accepting the nomination and indorsing the plat form, and promised to make it a fighting campaign, and said that whether successful or not in this one the Democrats would sweep the State at the next Presidential elec tion. The convention declared for **a tariff for revenue only.** We return thanks to Dr. W. S Webb, President of Mississippi Col lege, Toi an invitation to attend the Commencement Exercises of that Justly popular Institution. We note on the pr< gramme that Rev. J. W. Bozeman, of Meridian will preach the commencement sermon, June $4tb,.and Hon. A, H. Longioo, of Monticello, willdeliyer the Annual Address before the Literary Socie ties ou June 26. The address of graduating class and the presenta tion of diplomas will take place on June £$ih. That Dffrane. After carrying pent-up in its heav ing bosom and hroodiug for about two months over our article in Tiik Leader «r doing so. To deliberately take human life, c*mtrary to the forms of law prescribed and in a spirit ot revenge, is murder, legally and morally, whether the act be done in Franklin county, Biookha ven or Washington City’. Law, both civil and moral, is inflexible, and does not bend to suit ibe caprices, prejudices orjpassions of,men. Hence, an act which the law denominates as murder is murder, and belongs in the category of murder, it matters not by whom lommilted. That there may be a difference in degree of heinousness, according to circum stances, we have never denied, but readily admit; as we have also ad mitted (as the Ti. and I. will find if it will ta ] ihe trouble to re-examine our article), that here are circum stances under which there may be more or less extun nation for lynch ing; but it cannot be justified where the law prevails. It is not onr pur pose here to assume the position ot “defender” ot those who were en gaged in he Bnx khaven lynching; but, since the T. and I. has intro duced that affair, it serves our argu ment to say tint there were material extenuating circumstances attending it of which the Franklin lyncliiugs and many othersjof recentdate are to tally destitute. This extenuation con sisted chiefly in the fact that the out was publicly confessed by the crimi nals and tbe main object for which organized society and law exists— to-wit, a full and fair investigation of the guilt of the accused,—was ren dered unnecessar3’ by^ their confes sions of the crime. Again, that was in 1871, 12 years ago, when carpet bag rule was in the zenith oi its power, and the negro, in his ignorance, lorded It over the whites and tilled the juries, and when, too-, the penalty f>r which those fiendish criminals wele execu ted, was only a term in the penitentiary instead of death, as now. The people proceeded about the exe cution in the right wa3r, too.it being, as tbe T. and I. suggests, on tbe public square, in broad day light, and after due notice had been given. But things are changed now, the best men of this State direct its af fairs, the courts may be trusted to do their dut3', anti men of intelligence and reason should recognize this fact and govern themselves accord ingly. It will stand as a perpetual honor to the American people and the jurisprudence of our country that Guiteau was not tynched, boi» hung in the legal w&y after having been accorded every right guaranteed to him under the Constitution; and that Sergeant Mason, tbe would-be assas sin of Guiteau, was tried and sen tenced to ten years, imprisonment, for his attempt upon tbe life of a prisoner, albeit that prisoner was a murderer. Legally and morally, tbe lynchers of Frankliu county stand iu Masou’s shoes,with this difference in Mason’s favor—they accomplish ed their object and lie did not. By its vividly portiaying the bra tal uuturo of Tom Bailey’s crime, the T. and I. seems to think that the passion it aroused in the hearts of the men who lynched him was an all-sufficient reason for their act, notwithstanding the law prescribed the same degree of punishment aathey inflicted and the way to its execution was sure. If passion is to be made a defense for violation ol the law, why not, by the same argument, justify Amos Bailey in killing Mr. Cain, about whose lynching, by the way, the T. and I.istludiously ailed. In asking, ‘‘Where was the larger mob to come from?’’ the T. and 1. virtually proelaime the tyrant’s law that might Is right. We will answer tbs’, question by asking another. What is to become of tbe courts in TraiikJin, and the law which guarantees onto every man the sa cred right of fair and impartial trial, if, as is plainly implied by the T. and I.’s language, the whole county sanc tions the authority of Judge Lynch? And why the necessity fur any such court* and law? If the T. and I will read its ex changes a little closer, it will see lhat lynch law does not extirpate Crimean}’ more effectually than the faithful execution of civil law; and it will also not have to ask us “Where is the community in which swift retribution does not follow that crime?” In conclusion, we wtsh to say to the T. and I. that its intimation that the editor of The Leader would not express the same senti ments concerning the people of Brookbaven as of Franklin, under a similar state of facts, is entirely gra tuitous and assumptive. We object to our “corn” being measured by the T. aud I s “hall-bushel” in any such way. Our conceptions of the true journalist are just the opposite of any such standard. Whenever the vital interiBU of the people are involved, as in the matter under discussion, The Leader will never hesitate to express itself emphatically on wbat it conceives to be the right side, whether it stands with the“majority or in “a crowd by itself. ’ When we wrote the article at which the T. and I. is directing its criticism, it might have been more popular to have con doned the hanging of Tom Bailey; or we might have pandered to wrong and prejudice and come out in ‘A Defense of the People of Frank lin as it has done;” but we rather chose to do what we conceived would be for the abiding interests of the couDty, even if we had to say some filings which were for the time being unpleasant to be heard. Time will provewhich is the real friend of “The People of Frank lin” in this matter, and we are per fectly willing to bide our time and leave iZ Zo /hem. We a.ready have Zhe mosZ undoub/ed assurance ZhaZ our ar/icics are doing good, and Zhey are endorsed by some, a/ leas/, of Zhe besZ men in Zhe coun/y, who Zhink wi/h us, ZhaZ iZ is Zime lynch law were a Ztiing of Zhe pasZ. If anything is lacking to has/en Zhe consumma/ion of Zhe desiredjend, iZ is a few more such‘•defenses” as Zhe one we have under review. LeZ us have Zhem, neighbor, and if Zhey have no more in Zliem Zhau ZUis, we will then close the argument and ask the jury to recommend the lynchers to the mercy of this court. - Judge J. II .t'hrUmaa. Several people down here advocate the election of Judges by tbe people. We would rather like it, for Hou. J. B. Chrisman would receive niuet}’ live out of every hundred votes in the District for Circuit Judge. But we are happy any way, because it is understood that he wdl be re-ap pointed by the Governor.—Brook haven Cor. State Ledyer. As far as wo have ever heard any expression upon the subject, the above in reference to Judge Chris mau is the sentiment entertained to ward him by the people throughout the entire district. We are confi dent that if the elective system were in vogue, no other candidate would stand a ghost of a chance with him in the field; and while we do not know upon what authority the last statement in the above paragraph is made, we are confident that if Governor Lowry consults the well nigh unanimous wish of the people in this sgetion when he comes to make the appointment, kite spotless ermine will continue to rest upon the worthy shoulders which now wear it. Aceordiug to our recollec tion, the records show that no Cir cuit Judge in the State has fewer of his decisions reversed by the Su preme Tribunal, and he is one who, while fair to all, is a fearless and faithful executor of the law, neither currying favor nor dreading condem nation. Jn1x« t'owtedjr not a Candidate. As will be seen by reference to bis card in to-day's paper, .Judge Cas sedy has decided to withdraw from the contest for District-Attorney of this District, an office he has Sited with marked ability for the past eight years. We believe this an nouncement will be read with pro found regret by a large majority of the voters- of the District, who would prefer to honor him, above all others, with their support. While filing the position Judge Cassedy has made a reputation as a lawyer which few could have equaled and none excelled, and though none can blame him for seeking new chan nels in which to exercise his aotDle legal talents, the many who appre ciate a vigorous, able and fearless prosecuting State’s attorney, will see him retire with regret. I'ratfriml Talk In New York last week a number of distlng tished representatives of the Southern Exp >siyo* at I4fda~ ▼ilk, Ky„ wer«r* entertained at a banquet at DalmoaieoV by Messrs. C. 0.

Grant said he had passed through Lonisville last week, btr that the people of that ciU' were too hospitable to give him suIHciest leis ure to enable him to visit the expo sition building. The exposition will "undoubtedly have groat influence in removing whatever sec tional feeling may still exist between the people of the South and the peo pie of the North. There still exists much ignorance on the part of the |teople on both sides of tho line tha is now being rapidly obliterated. A gentleman from Louisiana, whom he met at Saratoga, said the best thing Congress could do for the people of this country would be to make an appropriation to enable the people of the North to go South and the people of the South to come North. As we cannot erpect Congress to (to.HSess such wisdom for another century at least, the next best thing is for the people of the North to go down to the exposition, meet there the people of the South, shake hands with them, and become acquainted with them, while at the same time they make themselves known. The railroad presidents who had given the dinner to their Southern friends would, lie was sore, furnish them with special trains for the purpose. Speaking to the toast • Unionism,'’ CAKL SCML'KZ said: At no time in the history of our country has the Union been more firmly cemented together than at present. When, previous to the war or since, until recently, could we re member the time wheu there was not some set ot men, some faction, who discu3ie,l the possibility of dis organization or secretly wished for it? Now we could travel throughout the land and not find enough such men to fill a single ward in & lunatic asylum. .. ■ --♦ » ■ A DoaMe Ueddinf. The double wedding of Mr. John T.

Many and some rather severe criti eisms hare appeared*!* ttle press on the late action of florae ofthcc.tisens rtf_Frfl^tUn ermstv, In this Htate, in rj|er#ce to Ae hanging of Tom ifylef. As an expression of publie opinion iti opposition to this sum mary manner ol executing vengcnce on a particular class of criminals there can be no doubt of the right of the press to do so—if it thinks the crime is not of such character an to warrant summaiy vengeance. Many or tjie-e articles assume a sort of tone of lecture-reading to the peopltt of Franklin county. The most pro nounced of this character is a long and well written article in The Bkookiiaven Leaoek, headed “Civil or Mob Law, which Shall lYevail?” From that article we take the follow ing extract: * • * “The fact is—anil we speak plainly because the subject demands It— those who engage In this sort of business themselves become murderers morally and in tlie sight of law. In short, those who deliberately proceed, regardless of the forms of law prescribed, to deprive a man of bis life because of s murder lie lias commit ted, that niomeut themselves take the place in the category of crime of him whom they essay to ptiuish. Ou the same principle a larger mob might, with propriety, nang the smaller, and so on until there would he no more of a whole cannty left than there was of the Kilkenny cats in the story.’’ This denunciafion, if sfrikes us, is too broad and exficn.e. If is fhe broad bold annouoccmenf fhaf the men who execufed flie negro for ouf raging a liffle girl are as greaf crimi nals as fhe man wiio com miffed flic deed, and miglif be hung by the friends of fhe deceased wifli fhe same propriety fhaf lie was hung, and fhe}’ “take the place in “the catego ry of crime of him fchom they “es say to punish.’' Tliaf is puffing it sfrong! and we cannof concur fhaf fliose men now sfand in fhe same category of crime as fhe man who commiffcd fhaf hellish deed. This is a sweeping, blasting crifcism on file good couufy of Lincoln and fhe edwrafed town of Brook haven. If is huf a few years, as we are informed, since fwo men were hung on fhe pub lic streets of Brookhaven, in fhe presence of an immense concourse 01 people; not by an oufbursf of rage, fhaf drove a few maddened men fo hang fhe beast in fhe ninghf—as fhe Franklin cmiofv people did—fo avoid disfurbing the people of Mead rlfle, buf in opcu day, atfer prepara fion and announcemenf of fho occa sion long enough before hand for fhe populafion f > gafher; and we are in formed rh.-u fhere were enough pres ent to have prevented it if they had been so inclined. That was not in Franklin county, however. Neighbor, how long do you think you could take jnlips at “Peter’s” if vou would ann mnee in your next issue that those men were and are in the same category with those whom they essayed to punish? The poor little giil that writhed in the foul embrace of the licentious beast—wailed out for her life, and was flung dying into a pond—was not a spectacle before the eyes of a civilized community to produce calm reflections on the proper mode of executing the laws, and upon the consequences to government, or on the probable hanging of themselves by another larger mob. Where was that mob to come from? We know of no cummnnify £ha£ has tolerated that loathsome, dam loanable crime beyond the time that they could get their hands on the perjietrator. A man of fifty and a child but nine veare old; no doubt of his guilt. The child was mutilated to death; lived a short lime—long enough to speak between her aguoics of pain and pour into the ears of her relatives and ther friends the scene of her torture. It was a warning in Franklin—as it was in Lincoln—hissed into the ears of all such beasts who contem plate similar crimes,and it will likely be heeded. It is easy to advise others to keep cool. Where is the community in which swift retribution does not fol low that crime? We desire to say as empahlically as Tiie Leadek speaks, that the Franklin county people are as free from crime, and as honorable people as are in the land, and with an ap preciation of female honor that will ever make it unsafe to commit that nameless Cl ime within their borders. —Summit Timet and Intelligencer.

Washington, June 6.—Postmas t r General Gresham’s attention was called to the fact to-day that at least one-third of the newspapers sent through the mails fail to reach their destination. He was told that the cause of the failure was the negligence of post masters, who, if *the wrappers arc torn or if the addresses arc not as plainly written as they ought to be, throw the papers in their waste rooms. He was also told that post masters do not hesitate to appropri ate newspapers to their own use. The Postmaster General said that he should at once issue an order to to all postmasters in the United States, directing them to treat news papers as sacredly as letters. Gen. Gresham also entertains the opinion that newspaper should be sent for one cant, and he will recommend to Congress a reduction of newspaper postage to one cent. Wm.

Because fun-ten ^asfflants gener ally prefer th« Norttfwes^l-ii States the plWfcof tli# NortlX. concludes no immigraat^ar# going Hence when tb# tens#* w-gs tftkta and all ihe Sdmhero States showed a largo increase iif population the utmost incredulity seized on the Northern mind. The probabilities are now that the next census MIL be a' great er surprise than that ot 1880. During the past ten years about 3,500,000 immigrants haw found .liumca in America. Thu, immense number naturally disturbs affairs; these new comers crowd all the avenues of labor any industiy and drive out thousands from the cities u> flud employe, eat in the agricul tural districts. These in tarn create n demand for good farming lands, and gradually land in the North In creases In price, This increase in duces men with farms in the older [States to part with their home to buy more land or farms for their i children in loc#lities more sparsely settled where land is cheap. This moving, restless tide of America agriculturists grows larger edch : year and is swelled by the coming [of every emigrant ship, and these men are now turning to the South. Another influence which is draw ing farmers of the North and East to the South is the climate. The long cold winters are discouraging, not only to the weak and the sick, but the strong hard-wofking but ambitious laborer, aud if he can get a good farm at a low price in a mil der climate he is apt to move. This change would have begun long ago bat for slavery, and i* even now re tarded by the presence of the negro in the South. The farmers of New England, of New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, In diana and even of Illinois want to know more about the South, and they are coming to Louisville to gratify this knowledge. They nat urally expect to see at the Southern Exposition a full representation of the products of the soil. If a South ern State can produce anything but cotton, they take it fur granted that this fact will be demouslrated at the Southern Exposition next August. If any State neglects this opportun ity to advertise her cheap lands and fertile soil it will be said everywhere she exhibited nothing because she had nothing to exhibit. me Agricultural Committee or the Southern Exposition will do all in its power to make known in the North the last capabilities of South ern agriculture. Its inexhaustible richness and variety the South it«elf is only just now beginning to under stand, as is evidenced by the growth of truck farming and stock raising. Heretofore tiie impression has been widespread that the South was not a grass-growing country. The de lusion is fast disappearing, and tbe Agricultural Committee can do noth ing better than to induce Prof. Pbares, of Starkville, Miss., to pre pare a complete exhibit of the grass es of the A’outh, with a statement of their character and value. But this is Dot sufficient; if a per fect, or by any means satisfactory exhibition of Southern agriculture is to be made, if we are to show to our iuquistive Northern visitor that our cheap Iand9 a«o really more pro ductive than are the high-priced lands of the North, the work must be done to a large extent by the far mers themselves. They must do this through their local grangers and agricultural associations, and by arousing the interest of their State authorities and their local newspa pers, Some of the States, notably Ar kansas, Kentucky, Tennessee and Florida, are now preparing exhibits which will inform and attract tbe prospecting immigrant, but every State in the South should take hold of this matter in the most vigorous way. This is the South's opportunity. More Northern people will come to Louisville than could by any means be induced to go to any Southern city. It is no rash estimate to place the attendauce here during the hun dred days at one million. As we have said, these visitors will be made up, to a large extent, of families in serch of cheap and productive lands. In addition to this the Exposition will De me industrial event of the year, and it will receive, as it has already received, widespread atten tion from the press. If the South is here with the products of her fields as well as of her mines—if she sends corn and wheat and tobacco as well as iron, peaches and pears and grasses as well as cotton, silk and sugar, vegetables and grain of all kinds, as well as a wonderful variety of timber—if the South will make an exhibit of this character, which she can well make, it will do more to attract attention, to bring to us immigrants and capital, than with out such an exhibit she can accom plish in ten years with all her immi gration bureaus and land syndicates actively at work after their usual and well-approved methods. We hope to see the press direct special attention to this feature of the exhibition, which, as far as the South is concerned, is the most im portant feature of all. During the mouth of May 140,000 acres of land were entered in Mississippi, but this is only an indication of the change in the tide which should enrich every Southern State.— From Courier Journal, June 4. --p— A fruit, vegetable and canning association has been organized at Madison Station with RC.
