THE BRISCOE BILL.


To THE EDIToRs OF THE MIssIssIPpfAN
Gentlemen: This much misrepresented
and much abused democratic measure,
which was first brought forward by de-
mocrat, and sustained by almost the entire
democratic party, at the extra session OF
the Legislature Of Mississippi, in 1913,
owing TO its novelty, the bitter denuncia-
tons il has received, and its own intrinsic
Importance, has, in the present canvass for
members of our State Legislature, mono.
polized most of the public attention to the
exclusion of questions Of still deeper pub
lie interest. The very fact that it is de-
nounced by bank officers, bank stockhold-
ers and bank attorneys, bank trustees and
assignees, and all those who have always
been btterest in denouncing every truly
republican and salutary measure, is test
of its merits, and furnishes one of the
most powerful arguments in It's favor.
A great effort is being made by large
portion of the whig party, and few mis-
taken and misguided democrats, 10 defeat

The Money Market.

The advocates of Protective Tariff are adverse
to commercial treaty between this country and
England: say they 1--WE should send more grain and
meat to that country and take of her far cloths
wares, &C., IN return. Commerce would, for brief
season, he stimulated; but our manufactures would
be shaken and crippled, if not prostrated and our
agriculture, compelled to seek a market across the
ocean Cor vast surplus product, would be doomed to
subsst on low prices forever" This argument is
quite curiosity in logic If it said that agri-
culture tied down to home market, by laws prohib-
itng free interchange of commodities between DIFF
ferent nations " would be doomed to subsist on low
prices forever" could something approaching
common in it but say that the opening to
of market, where all farm products are much
higher than here at home, must produce that effect,
is refinement in pOtco-economical logic that would
puzzle Philadelphia lawyer, any other problem
solver, to explain If it is meant that the dmnuton
of the northern and eastern manufacturing markets
would be great outweigh the entire market of
Great Britain, with her twenty-five millions of souls,
then but marvel at the credulIty presumed in
the public. 1t is doubtful whether if the restrictions
upon foreign trade permanently reduced to the
standard OF the compromise act, single pound less
of pork, or bushe less of corn would thereby be
consumed in the eastern markets. prohibitory or
high protective tariff is therefore, maintained at the
direct cost of the agricultural interest I've exclusive

Battle Of Bunker Hill---DiscOvery of
Interesting Relics.

For some days past, workmen have been engaged
in digging well on the Battle ground, in Charles
town, on land owned by Phineas ]. Stone. On Sat
urday, quite excitement produced by the dis
covery of several entire human skeletons, and on
some careful search being made, large number OF
other articles found, which at identified the
spot the depository of the remains of large num-
Der of those who fell in the memorable battle of the
18th June, 1776. The skeletons were in unusu-
ally sound condition, and of the skulls, a
wound, apparently inflicted by sword, was plainly
visible. On another, the hair found almost en-
tire, and in a remarkable state of preservation.
Quite number Of metal buttons, numbered from
43 to 30, were also thrown up. These would seem
to have belonged to the enemy, they bear the num-
bers of several of their regiments, and it is well
known that none such were worn by the Americans
The other articles consist of knee buckles, muske
balls and copper con the latter being too much cor
roded to discover their character dates The place
where these remains and relics were found is sup
posed to have formed part of one of the main en-
trenchments at the time of the battle, and that the
bodies covered up where they fell, were
thrown in Immediately after the conflict.
This common grave could not have been originally
than three feet under the surface of the ground
but the earth having since been filled in and raised
considerably, in order to produce gradual slope from
the Monument, it is now found to be some fifteen feet
below the present surface.
We understand that since these discoveries, the
project of constructing well at that place, has been
abandoned.-B0St0n Times

The Pork Market.

From some indications here, (says the Cincinnati
Chronicle fear that higher prices are offered for
pork, than will be sustained. Last year we furnish
ed the facts which showed the great falling off in the
number Of hogs. 1t was strictly accurate, and the
higher prices which followed, were sustained. But
does the state Of facts now exist 1t is toe
early to speak positively but incline TO the opn.
ION that the number Of hogs will be found larger this
year, and it is very certain there is enough to
fat them Let no one be deceived about crops. Corn
is abundant.
Is there any greater demand We dare say, ma.
ny calculate Army contracts: But the Army is not
increased. 1t is only ntored.
We throw out these hints for the benefit of whom
it may concern. In confirmation of them; we quote
the following paragraph from the Ancient Metropolis
(Chillicothe }
''As the season of hog-killing is approaching, we
feel anxious to receive and give all the information
on this subject that can be gathered. From the best
advceS we are led to believe that the number of hogs
for sale, in this valley will be at least double that OF
last year-the crop having been the largest ever
known. The hogs will be very large, and prices old
fair to open at and 81 cents per pound-the latter
price for those weighing over 200 lbs. These prices
induced by the present high prices of provisions
in our eastern cities. We have heard of no engage
nents vet as the packers seem unwilling to risk
these prices until further developments"
The Pork MARKET.-The Pork Market is opening
finely for the Farmers. We learn that Pork dealers
in this section of the country offering from 50 W
to 50 60 per hundred. We hear it reported, but we
are inclined to doubt the truth of it, that the number
of marketable Hogs in the surrounding Counties, du
ring the present year, will fall considerably below
that of last wear. We think, however, that If the
quantity should be less, the deficiency will be made
up in the increased weight Corn is much plenty
this year than last, and this will enable Farmers tc
keep their Hogs until they are In good condition fOI

fingers. The two fingers upon the left also
quite slender, though the child has of them.
These fngures do not shut up like common hand,
but close together like pncers tongs In all other

FATAL Academia melancholy accident occurred

the 18th inst, resulting from the usual want of

A young man of the name of VIM. McComb, for
the purpose of ascertaining whether his rifle was
charged placed his mouth upon the muzzle, and his
foot upon the hammer of the lock of the gun; and
while in the act his foot slipping the hammer fell up
the cap, and the gun discharged tie contents into
his mouth, killing him instantly.
This is the second accident of the kind that has
occurred in this vicinity within the past few years, and
is sad admonton of the care that ought to be OBJ
served in the use of guns.-Logansport Telegraph
