The Copiah Signal says that if Mr
Barksdale is elected to the senate "he
can win over to the Democracy in
the coming presidential campaign
multitudes of the voting populations
of the northwest." The Signal fails
to explain how Mr. Barksdale is go
ing to perform this feat. His record
as a steady opponent of pension ex
travaganct—for which we honor him
—is not calculated to win over the
"voting populations" anywhere north
of Mason's and Dixon's line.

An Important Caae.
Last year 11. M. King, of Obion
county* Tennessee, was indicted for
«lie crime of Sabbath-breaking. Be
ing a Seventh Day Adventist he
was in the habit of observing Satur
day ns (lie Sablmth, while on Sun
day, according the custom of his
sect, lit pursued his usual occupa
tions. The specificoflense charged
in t he indictment was plow ingin
his field on Sunday, and the trial
resulted in his being convicted and
sentenced to fine and imprisonment.
King has appealed to the United
States supreme court which tribu
nal will for tbc first time in its ex
istence be called upon to decide as
to tbc constitutionality of Sunday
laws and tbe right of the states to
enforce them The National Secu
lar Association, who are furnishing
money for the defense, are confident
f victory in this highest of nil our
courts, basing their hopes on the
ground that King's sentence inter
feres with his religious liberty and
is therefore unconstitutional.
Should the supreme court so hold,
its decision will nullify all or
nearly all of the Sunday laws on
the statute books of the various
states. But even in that event we
do not believe that Sunday would
he less generally observed as a day
of rest than It now is. Its sacred
character does not in the slightest
degree depend upon secular laws,
hut upon the religious convictions
of tlio people, and the repeal of
every Sunday law would have no
effect upon these convictions. Asa
matter of fact, the Sabbath is habit
ually violated now by every person
who chooses to violate it. On Sun
day as on other days freight trains
and passenger trains run unhindered
over the railroad lines, goods are
bought and sold openly or secretly,
and in many cities not only the
markets, hut the beer-gardens and
theatres are in full blast on that day,
and all in the face of stringent Sun
day laws.

"Good-Bye, Senators.
Editor Burkitt, of the Ckicktuaie
Messenger, is a very weak-kneed
political prophet. Everybody 1 ms
Heard about his pompous editorial,
"Good-bye Senators," in which lie
informed George and Walthall last
spring that their opposition to the
suh-trensurv plan made it ueccwnry
for Mississippi to fill their places
with other men. Mississippi, how
ever, seems to have taken a differ
cut view of the matter, and is going
to send the two senators hack to
congress, notwithstanding Mr. Bur
kitt's prophetic voice.
These unlucky newspapers are
always giving offense without in
tending it. Recently the Meridian
Standard contained a good-natured
burlesque article iu which the wri

He meant no harm, hut some of
the dignitaries in that vicinity con
strued it ns "a blow at the manners
and morals ot the neighborhood !"

Several years ago mackerel sudden

that prices rose to an exorbitant
height. At the same time great

off the shores of Ireland, giving rise
to a profitable trade with the United

his bride to Memphis for the honey- *
moon. He took her to a hotel, lived
with her a week, and then decamped,
taking with him her money and jewelry.
Alwut this time Farmer Benton was
informed that Rawlings had a wife in
Mobile. lie came to Memphis and
took his daughter home and went on
Rawlings' trail. The scamp was arrest
ed soon after and brought to Memphis
for trial, the bigamous marriage having
l»een contracted in this county. The
chief wi ness for the prosecutu n was
his victim and she did not spare him.
The Mobile marriage was established
and a verdict of guilty followed.
This morning in the circuit court
Rawlings was sentenced to eight years
in the penitentiary, and pretty Annie
smiled m his pallid face and tripfied out
of the court-room on her father's arm.
The Pension Debt.
The principal business of the United
States government is to pay pensions to
former soldiers. The United States
pension list calls for the yearly payment
of a sum of money larger than for any
other public purpose, and greater than
is allowed for any single public use by
any nation in the world.
The official report of the Commission
er of Pensions has just been made pub
lic. It shows that the expenditure for
pensions during the year which closed
June 30, 1881, was the enormous sum
of #118,548,057, an increase of over
1 2,0UÜ, (XX ) for the year,
of pensioners is 787,187.
arc at this time nearly half a million
more ex-soldiere whose names have not
yet been put on the pension rolls, but
without doubt will be. Last year more
than 138,000 names were added to the
list, and at that rate but few years can
pass before all the survivors will be en
rolled, when the pension debt will
reach about #200,000,(XX) annually.
This is a debt which the nation has
loaded upon itself and must carry be
cause to refuse to pay these pensions
would arouse the utmost indignation.
The present revenue is hopelessly in
sufficient to meet these demands and to
pay also the current expenses of the
government A large increase in the
rate of Federal taxation is a necessity,
and one which must be nut in operation
at a very early date.— 1'icayune.
In our section the crop has been
blighted, and some fanners will make
only ICH) (lounds seed cotton to the acre.
But while we have failed this year on
cotton, canc, and potatoes we have lots
corn and meat. We never make a
failure all around. Nobody is going to
starve around here.— Wesson Mirror.
