ty Fxprssi Themselves In
favor of the New
Railroad.
Another Meeting to be Held la Brook
Haeea Friday. Febraary 7 Lb.
The mass meeting nt Monticello Inst
Monday to consider the subject of se
curing a railroad from Notches to
Merklinu, via Brookliaven and Monti*
cello, was u highly gratifying and sat
isfactory one to all who feel an inter
est in this enterprise. There was a
good attendance of the representa
tive citizens of Lawrence county.
Brookliaven was represented by a
delegation composed of Hons. R. H.
Thompson. A. C. McNair, Capt. J. A.
lloskius, J. W. and M. I). McGrath,
L. H. Howen ana u. i. noons; white
Capt. J. W. Lambert of Natchez and
Major Mickle, the well-known civil
engineer,were also in attendance.
The meeting was presided over by
Dr. B. D. Bishop, and expressed it
self without hesitation in favor of
any railroad enterprise having for its
object the traversing of Lawrence
county, via Monticello. Mr. R. If.
Thompson, Capt. Lambert and Capt.
Hoskins were called upon in the order
named, and each delivered a very in
teresting and practical address which
was well received and heartily ap
plauded. The plan advanced by Mr.
Thompson and concurred in by the
other speakers, was that Lincoln and
Lawrence counties should each vote a
subscription of $50,000 in thirty-year
bonds, to any corporation that
would guarantee the building of a
railroad from Brookhaven to Monti
cello, it being distinctly conditioned
that no bonds should be issued until
the road was built and in running
order.
In accord with the recommenda
tion of the citizens of Meridian, a
committee of 25 was appointed to at
tend a general railroad meeting at
Brookhaven of delegates from all the
towns and counties interested in the
construction of the Natchez, Brook
haven and Meridian Railroad, and
Friday, February 7th, w as fixed as
the day for holding said meet
ing.
The following committee was ap
pointed to co-operate with the Com- j
mittee of the Citizens’ Association of i
Brookhaven in procuring the neces- j
sary legislation for submittiug the
question of subscription to a vote of!
the people in the two counties, and
also to secure the requisite char- |
ter privileges, to-wit: G. A Ten- j
msion, u. a. Dawson, josepu Ernie, |
I. A. Hickman, \V. C. Cannon, G. W. j
Johnson, M. D. L. Crawford.
The iollowing resolution by Dr. |
Teunisson was unanimously adopted
as the sense of the meeting :
Resolved, That the Railroad Com
mittee is hereby instructed to proceed
to procure, in conjunction with a like i
committee from Lincoln county, the !
necessary legislation looking to sub
mitting the question of voting uot j
more than $50,000 to aid in the con- !
struct ion of a railroad from Brook-!
haven to Mouticello.
The people of Lawrence county
realize, ns never before, the impor
tance of railroad facilities, and we are
confident from the expressions of in
interest we heard during our visit
amoug them that the question of
subscription, if fully discussed and
fairly presented, will undoubtedly be
carried by two-tbirds of the popular
vote.
The Leader would earnestly sug
gest in conclusion that every one feel
ing an interest in this enterprise do
all possible to secure a large at
tendance aud make the general
meeting here on Feb. 7tli a signal suc
cess, aud we would also urge that the
joint committee entrusted to pro
cure the desired legislation move in
the matter at once,as there is no gnar
tee whatever that the present session
of the Legislature will be a protract
ed one.

Hrookliaven Newspapers.
Brookhaven has had more news
papers within the last few years than
any other town in South Mississippi.
The reasou of this is not because
Brookhaven gives better support to
papers than do other towns, but be
cause it is, or has been split up into
more factions than any other town
in the State, and each faction wants
its paper. The result is that but one
paper has had anything like a pro
longed existence, and that is the
Brookhaven Leadf.k. Why has it
survived and flourished while others
went down 1 Simply because it al
ways had well defined principles and
stuck to them. It has ever upheld
or advocated measures pertaining to
social and political reform, and has
never pandered to the popular will.
Such papers deserve to have and will
have a long lease of life. We con
gratulate Bro. Hobbs on the grow’th
and influence of his paper, and hope
it may long exist to mould the senti
ments of the people.—Copiah Signal.
Death of Judge Hall.

fine parliamentarian and presided
over the Democratic convention that
first nominated Gov. Lowry. After
that he was appointed Chancellor of
his district, which position he has
since filled with distinguished ability.
He will be greatly missed in North
Mississippi and his death will be uni

State.

Memorial to the Congress of the United
States by the legislature of the State i
Miaaiasippi upon the fifteenth amendent
of the federal constitution.
Twenty yean* have now elapsed t
since the negro was enfranchised.:
The act was viewd, and will ever aland
one of the most notable and profound |
in the history of the government,
without precedent or parallel. The
end sought first required that a re
cognized jurisdiction of the States,
that of suffrage, should be nppropria-.
ted by the federal power, which end
was so revolutionary and far-reacliing'
that it was regarded with doubt so |
grave that it would not have been at-,
‘tempted except at a time immediate
ly succeeding a great civil war. It
could not have been accomplished by I
any usual and ordinary course of leg-1
islation. It was in dirn't opposition
to the united white sentiment of the
.Southern States, and it is believed
contrary to the judgment of the
philosophic statesmanship of the
North. Originating in such circum
stances and with such attendants, the
results of the act would be most wor
thy of consideration and declaration
after fair tests, even were these ordi
nary. But the conditions produced,
the future impending, the discussion
evoked, imperatively demand candid
expression from those entrusted with
the public good. The disscussions
of the negro in politics have so ab
sorbed and enlightened the public
mind of the whole country that detail
ed statement is unnecessary. It is
only incumbent upon us to sum up
the conclusion fairly and justly deriv
able from the lessons of the past. Upon
these, all agree that negro suffrage
has failed in the theory and practice ;
that all efforts to correllate the races
as equals in citizenship is utterly vain
and mischievous to the last degree.
It has been attended, along its whole
course, with strife, blood and mani
fold ills both material and moral. So
far from endow ing the weaker race
with protection against the stronger,
the ballot has provoked discord and
conflict in which he is ever the suffer
er. Estranging the races it has taken
from the blacks something strong and
certain on which to lean and depend;
it has hardened and turned away the
whites from the duty of protecting
the blacks from wrong and rendered
ineffectual appeals to their manhood
which, in the olden time, were never
disregarded save in exceptional cases.
In all his manifold history the negro
has never shown moral progress ex
cept by kindly association with
whites. I his destroyed and his retro
gression involving ruin to the country
is most probable. It has kept alive
and intensified sectional ill will which
saps patroitism, fosters corruption,
makes easy the sway of oppression
and wrong. It is working to a state
of demoralization and has produced
methods of political practice which
will surely drive and keep good men
out of the South and prevent the free
and unrestrained intercourse which
should ever exist between brethren
of one common country and national
destiny. Weighed against these dire
effects and fearful portents is the siu
gle consideration to the south of a
certain increase of federal and nation
al representation. This is of absolute
ly no comparative consequence and is
freely offered in surrender. As en
franchisement of the negro has prov
ed the main cause of race discord, we
may reasonably expect it abrogation
to lead to at least a partial restora
tion of the old time race concord;
therefore be it
Resolved, By the legislature of the
state of Mississippi, that it is the de
liberate opinion of the said legisla
ture that the fifteenth amendment to
the constitution of the United States
should be annulled, and said legisla
ture doth hereby petition “the con
gress to take the necessary steps to
that end.”
2d. Be it further resolved, That
our senators in congress be, and they
are hereby instructed, and our repre
sentatives in congress be, and they
are hereby requested to present this
application and petition to their re
spective bodies for their considera
tion and action.
3rd. Be it further resolved, That the
secretary of state forward certified
copies of the above preamble and res
olution to each of our senators and
representatives in the congress of the
United States, and a certified copy to
the governor of each state in the Un
ion with the a request to have them
read to their respective legislatures.
The Mississippi Enterprise has this j
to say of the way Summit’s trade lias!
been ruined by Prohibition :
If the reports of tlie business men .
are taken as a foundation upon w hich !
to build calculations, we unhesitat
ingly assert that fully one-third more
business has been done by the old
merchants than any year previous;
while it is to be remembered that five
more establishments are here now to
share the trade of the town. Thus
making the business almost double
that of last year. Cotton is onr prin
cipal product and from the first of
September last up to the present time
—a little over four months—nearly
14,000 bales have been shipped. This,
we are told, is 33 per cent, more than
last year.
