by nearly all parties in Pennsylvania that
the August instalment on her debt viii not
and cannot be paid. This shows cOnclu-
sively that the February payment was pre-
mature, as Governor Skunk pronounced
it, and that it was only for the benefit OF
those who wished her stock brought up in
the markets to enable themselves to sell
out to green ones at good prices. ISeRH-

o. Our notice Of stroning itinerant,
one Scion Robinson, who lately made
tour through this State, has given much
offence to N. G.. North, the editor of the
Southwestern Farmer, and he abuses US
through half column in his last paper
Mr.. North, as many of our readers know,
has immense notions ofagricultural improve
ment and social moderation - confused
ideas of erecting the whole commonwealth
of Mississippi into an extensive Bermuda
grass pasture and flower garden-abolish-
ing the present form of government, and
introducing the community system of Four
rier. And he says we are running tilt
against his T" cause" and he proceeds, with
christian meekness and commendable cha
rity, to give us all sorts of fagelIadon-
accuses us ofhaving no more solid employ
ment than 'spouting village politics about
the streets, &c. All this is put under the
head of Hillside ditching. Now, that is
what we complain of: we care nothing for
his abuse of us-but TO put it under the
head of hillside ditching'!-and mingle it
up with new method of accelerating the
washing away of hills. Think OF that,
master Brook.'-It makes US mad-very
mad--to think about il and VIC shall forth
with lay down our stick, and go out and
spout village politics. awhile.

VIRGINIA ELECTIONS.

Inc returns from the Old Dominion are
more favorable than could have been ex-
pected. The democrats have majority in
the notwithstanding a United States
senator IN place of the apostate, w. c..
hives, who has now permission to retire to
private life, with his worthy coadiutor.
Iallmadge. All but one or too of the mem.
oers OF Congress elected are democrats
Well done for the g cradle of democracy, y
The land of Jefferson and Taylor. The
Richmond Enquirer, of the 28th uAmo,
gives the following summary of she re-
suit, as far as ascertained:
The TRlUMRH IN VrRGIN1A.-The mails
come freighted with democratic victories.
We have already heard of the election of
nine republican members of Congress--and
OF the returns TO come in, four are certain
for US, and probably .fJ1h Tin the Kanawha
district.) 1t is highly probable that the Vir-
glnia delegation in the next Congress will
stand fourteen democrats and one whig,
and that one, perhaps, McCarty of Loudon,
the independent wing, who opposes Pen
dleton, the wing caucus nominee.) But to
the particulars
In the Accomac district, Gen. Bayley is
certainly elected over Southal, by about
$50. The district gave Clay 45O majority.
The true, unflinching Hubbard is elected
over Hill, by at least 100.
+. M. T. Hunter is elected over Will
loughby Newton, by at least $50.
In this district, our own Seldom is re-
turned by the brilliant majority of 266.-
The district gave Mr.. Clay 259 majority.
In the Albemarle district, Leake beats
Irving about 100.
In the Frederick district, Bedinger and
Lucas are the candidates--both democrats.
The chances are in favor of Bedinger.
In the Norfolk district, Atkinson is elect,
ed by about $50.
G. G. Dromgoole in the Brunswick, and
VIM. Taylor in the Rockingham districts,
are elected without opposition.
And now for the only "oasis in the (whig)
desert"--the Loudoun district. The i'm
preston is that McCarsy, Independent
wing, has beaten Pendleton, whig ppninee.
P. is 206 ahead, but Prince William and
Rappahannock TO come in.
| OF the districts to hear from, the Halifax,
| Monroe, Washington, and Ohio districts
are certainly. and the Kanawha district
probably, for US. If SO, we shall have for
Congress, democrats ID, wings i.

" We copy the following from the
Eastern Clarion, and call the attention Of
Assessors in this section of the State 10
the matter referred to:
awe cannot too strongly urge upon the
Assessors of the different counties in East
Mississippi, who are now engaged in TAX
ing the census, to be active and vigilant.
and TO be certain in all cases to enume-
rate every free white inhabitan! in their
respective counties. The apportionment
bill will be passed at the next session of
the Legislature, and our interest demands
that all our people should be counted, in
order that we may hereafter be entitled
to our full political strength in the Legs
lature."

or Difficulties have arisen between our
government and Brazil, growing out of the
efforts Of the American minister, Mr.. Wise,
to suppress the traffic in slaves by American
vessels. Uncle Sam will have his hands
full if compelled to take ga tiff " with Mex

rights of the people to levy contN
upon them for the work in question: Il
we did not allude to this case for thu
pose of urging any objection to the ~
ing system in this particular instance,
merely cited it TO enfore the idea WI
which we set out. If it be right 20 Ia
unborn generations to build canals and
make railroads which will charge them for
every pound of freight they carry for
them, how much more worthy would the
anticipation Of the condition of he hu-
man family be. Therefore, why no, Iet Us
borrow ten hundred millions of ingOts of
gold and divide them among all the peO-
pie Of the land, thereby making every one
rich, and driving poverty from among US.
We commend this matter TO the reformers
for their consideration and action.

Correspondence Of the Vicksburg Sentinel.

JACKSON, April %, 1916.
SIR:-The Executive. appointment of
United States Senator has Justly excited
public inquiry, as to whom opprobrium
should be applied, in the Withholding from
the Hon. Jacob Thompson the Executive
appointment; and upon inquiry, | learn
from reliable sources, that Gov. Brown
forwarded the appointment enveIoped in
letter addressed TO Hon. R. J. Walker,
who without the authority of the Govern
or has withheld the appointment, notwith-
standing the messenger and the letter
were in the city of Washington several
days before Mr.. Thompson left.
! asked the Governor if Mr.. Walker
had.not suggested different individual as
Senator in his (Mr. Walker's) letter of
resignation. The Governor replied, that,
that was priUGte matter, and declined an
swering. Now the simple story is (as is
easily seen,) that Mr.. Walker desired an.
ether individual appointed Senator, and
because his favorite had not received the
Executive appointment, he took the re-
sponsibility of Withholding the appoint
ment, and thus to thwart the Executive, in
his effort to serve the State, and thereby
to cause the State to be unrepresented in
the Senate of the United States. The Sc
verest condemnation is.justly due TO any
man who will thus mis-serve the State.
Yours, respectfully,

than the market in Mobiie;for evidence OF this tact
refer YOU to the Price Current ofthe 2lstins' Ter
warded to the Editors of the Mississippi Advert,
SER You there perceive the Mobile market to end
at fair Cotton at 5!and while the same quality IN
this market is worth and sells daily from q to Ia
in this MARKET we have two higher classes OF cot'
on viz good fair g. to 7l-4 good and ialr7t; from
these figures you will observe difference OF : cts

of your cotton if gathered clear of the Leaf and
ginned on good gin, will class as good and hne,
and larger proportion will go of as good fair, and
add to the price ! cts. per pound over Mobile
The additional cost of sending your cotton to tn's
market will not be over so to75 cents per ballet the
time necessary to go and return two days. Should
these considerations have their due weight with
YOU, shall expect to see great portion OF you IN
