this practice been pursued, that property,
even when regularly exposed to sale, will
scarcely bring third of its value, for fear
of some suspected flaw in the title, pro-
duced by Vaccinations and falsehoods OF
theseprying swindlers. Such scandalous
lpeversions of the law---such disregard Of

the community, call for strict and unmiti-

be found--whether in the ranks Of an
honorable profession, in the enjoyment

1t is not deemed necessary at this time to
mention particular names. The very ex-
Iistence Of such nefarious proceedings, and
the fact that the matter has been brought
before the Grand Jury on the authority Of
honest and credible witnesses, together
with this public resentment should serve
to direct the suspicious Of the community
in the right quarter and fasten the odinm
on those whose conduct has deserved it.
Wehave felt ourselves TOO solemnly bound

his Honor, the Judge, to let nuisance of
such monstrous extent pass our observa-

In conclusion we beg leave to tender
our best acknowledgements TO his Honor,
the Judge, for the attention he has shown
US whilst in the discharge of our duties,

MATTHEW'S RETURNED.

We have learned with pleasure, of Thu
arrival Of Col. James Z. Matthews Al
jackson, after an absence of several
weeks, during which time some excite.
ment has prevailed, on account of his then
mysterious absence. We understand his
delay was caused from severe illness in
Iishcmingo county, and not, as the sup
position began to gain credence with ma
ny, for the purpose of swartouting with
the few thousand State warrants which he
received while acting as Treasurer until
one could be appointed by the Governor,
to NIL the vacancy occasioned by the ,cith-
draa0at of Choctaw Graves But the
public, nevertheless, would like to know,
what disposition was made Of the monies
received by Father Matthews, while act
ing as Auditor and Treasurer. 1t has
been rumored that said monies have not
been paid into the Treasury. Can the
Mississippian give us any information on
this subject

SOUTHPORT TELEGRAPH.


UyThis number completes the third Volume OF
the Telegraph. The paper will hereafter be under
the editorial management and control OF Z. l..
SHoLEs, Esq, who is the proprietor of the estao-
Eshment and who was one of the editors during
the first two years from the commencement OF the
naner. The next volume of the paper will be en-
laroed. and in consequence of large addition IN
nrintipg material which has recently been added

ouate 10 the wants of the country.
D-ring the last three years, which we have been
connected with the Telegraph, we have endeavored
to promote the interests of the Terrtory,wth what
success we leave the public to Judge. Our sub
scribers will bear with US, while we say word In
relation to the pecunary affairs connected with the
paper. During the past year the Cash receipts OF
the office, have not equaed one fourth OF the Cash
expendtures-the bills of great proportion OF our
subscribers are unpaid. We do not mention this
as a matter of complaint--the times have been hard
and money scarce. and we know our subscribers
would more generally have paid us, could they con-
yenientlv have done it--besdes we have not the
past wear asked subscriber to pay the amount o.
his subscription. But now that the third year OF
the Telegraph has ended, and the paper has passed
into the hands of another.we respectfully ask those
who are indebted to US, subscription, or adver-
tisinp. TO paw us. We need the amounts due IN
order to meet our engagements, and to discharge
onr liabilities

MECHANICS MEETING.

The proceedings of the Mechanics Meeting were
not left at office last week, until our paper bad
gone to press, consequently the publication was
deferred until this week.
Whatever may be the result of the associated eff
forts of the Mechanics of this place, no one will
presume to question the propriety of well advised
measures, for improving the condition of the labor
ing classes 1t has been appropriately remarked,
that the laboring classes the true nobility of our
country. 1t Is in accordance with the spirit -four
institutions, that the principles of equality should
be maintained throughout all the avocations and
business departments of life. Every profession and
employment should be regarded honorable, if it
contributes the necessities and wants of the COM
munity. It may be laid down an incontroverti
bic principle, that whatever tends to elevate the
condition ofhe laborng and operative classes tends
to lessen those artificial distinctions in society, and
to produce republican equality in the social rela-
tons of life. In proportion labor is oppressed
and badly paid, in the proportion will it be
despised by those whose afluence other circum-
stances, have placed them above labor. This is
exemplifed in the condition of the people of every
nation and kingdom under Heaven. Wherever
labor is not properly recompensed, the great mass
of the people enslaved, and the iron hand
of aristocracy grinds the operative classes in the
dust
History has never yet furnishedan example where
labor was too highly esteemed, or too liberaly re-
warded for the interests of nation. If ever the
freedom and equality of the masses in this republic
shall be destroyed, and the power of the govern
placed in the hands of despotic few, 1t will
be because the rewards oflabor have been so made
quate and small, as to reduce the working classes
to penurv and want. And when once the mocha
MICS and laboring men are brought to condition
of entire dependency it will be no hard matter for
the power of wealth. to wrest from them those po-
litcal and social rights, to which they are entitled
by God and Nature.

GALVANIC GILDING.-We would invite at
tenton to the advertisement of Mr. Young of this vii
lage, who has possessed himself of the art of gliding
by the newly invented application of the gaIvanic
battery. This ngenius process is comparatively of
but recent discovery and ranks among the most i'm
portant inventions that have yet been made in the
working of metals. Watches by this process can
in few minutes be changed from silver to gold,
at least receive an external surface of gold -
Spoons, pencils, or other articles can be gilded with
silver or gold may suit the wishes of the owner.
What renders this method of gliding more impor-
tant is; that no person however experienced in the
gded article from the genuine, unless by cutting
through the surface or by wei ght-so perfect is the
representation between a solid gold or silver spoon
and one gilded by the galvanic process, that even
workers of the precious metals liable to be de-
ceived A german silver coin may have cover
ing of gold so perfect as to avoid all detection,
less ii be subjected to weight. Mr. Young, how
ever, does not propose to aid in giving deceptive
value to coin, and we simply mention this fact to
show that the time may come when the public will
be obliged to be on their guard, particularly when
the process of gliding by galvanism shall be gene
rally understood by the unprncipled and lawless.
