BY reference to our advertising columns
it will be seen that this celebrated Eques'
TRAN Company will perform in Benton on
next Friday the 10th inst, and AT THIS
PLACE ON SATURDAY THE 10TH INST.
Wherever they have performed they have
given general satisfactiOn-and the many
cOmmendatOry notices which they have
ELECTED, lIom the press prove that they fur
nish greater attractions than any other
Equestrian Troupe in the United States.
All of our citizens who have an Oppor-
tunity should witness their unrivalled per.
formances.

or Our readers will perceive by refer
ing to an article on our first page, taken
from that sterling Democratic sheet, the
Louisville Telegraph, that we alone do not
censurethe course Of Senator Speight on
the Oregon question. We fully endorse
the sentiments of. the TelegraPh--and COM
mend the article to the attention Of our
readers. When public servants violate
their trust, az at the same time make great
pretentions to patriotism, the press should
learIessly arraign them before the bar Of
public opinion. Letthem adopt this course
and the public interests will rarely ever be
sacrificed upon the altar of personal feeling
or sectional jealousy.

EBENEzER Posi- OFFIcE.-In October
last number of the citizens of Holmes
and YazOo counties forwarded to the Gen.
eral Post Office Department, petition fol
the establishment of Post Office to be
designated as above-at the residence Of
Mr.. Thomas Rule in Holmes county. They
set forth that this place was situated direct
ly on the main mail route from Jackson to
Holly Springs, (between Benton and Lex
ingtOu, II miles distant from former and
from the latter land that il would not
be source of expense to the department
that most of them resided at an incon-
venient distance from any Post Office, and
that their mail facilities were very limited
that the distance from Benton to Licking.
ton is twenty six miles and that there is
not single Post Office intervening upon
the mail route, although it passes through
country thickly settled. They also re-
commended the appointment of Mr.. Rule as
the Post Master OF the office which they
petitioned to be established. About the
first OF December certain Undergraduates
were forwarded him at this place, to which
he returned satisfactory answers. Since
that nothing has been done relative to it,
The citizens have based their petition upon
just grounds, and their demands should be
needed. A number of them have reques-
ted US to call again the attention of the
General Post Office Department to these
facts-Aand to inquire the cause Of the
delay in attending to their petition.

TRADERS IN BoATs.-The last number

McRea Esq, assessor of Warren county
Mississippi, in answer to numerous inqui'
res which have been made, relative to the
taxes to be levied upon the sales of mer.
chandize made within the State by vendors
in boats on the river.
The Attorney General states that ac-
cording to the Revenue Law of 1914, an
ad-valorem tax of two and half per cent is
levied on all merchandise sold within this
State by transient UenderS-that a IRAN
silent vender is one whose occupation is to
buy merchandise and dispose of it, travel.
ling from place to place-that boatmen buy
merchandise and pass from place to place,
or remain for limited period at one point,
and that therefore they rank under the
class Of transient TENDERS and should be
taxed as such.

The triumph (for such must be its des.

achievement for the amelioration of the

times can boast. The future historian will

sword of the cOnqueror and scenes Of blood
and carnage are presented to the view
Not so with the present achievement. 1t
has been accomplished not by the prowess
of steel.clad warriors, nor the ef1usion of
human blood-but by the triumph of PopU.
LAR WILL over the schemes devised by ia.
vored classes to plumber and Cypress the
many. The doctrines of Free Trade must
indeed present many attractions, when they
lure alone bytheir beauty and the advan-
tages they Offer, a nation which has long
been welded TO the restrictive policy. The
course which the English government have
adopted affords strong argument in favor
of unrestricted commerce. Protectionists
have proclaimed that the doctrine of Free
Trade is vain chimera, which possesses
no advantages save those existing in the
Of theorists-but here is a ma
ion which has encouraged monopoly in ev.
cry manner, abandoning it, and is resolved
10 burst the letters which have hitherto re.
stricted commerce.
The benefits which must result from the
adoption of this policy, not only to her own
down-trOdden, starving population but to the
people of the United States are beyond cal
culation. Hitherto. the duty imposed on
Indian Corn has been so high that, that ar
-icle, although considered in our own coun-
Try as a necessary of life, has not been
used in England either as food for man or
beast. According to a recent statement
which we have seen published, the duty in
in October last was about twenty-five cents
per bushel, but by Sir Robert PeePs bill it
will be reduced to two and three quarter
cents per bushel. This will create an ex-
.ensive market for the surplus grain pro-
luced in the Western and Southern States.
Heretofore the growing Of corn in Missis.
.ippi has been neglected, although its soil
Is well adapted to its production, because
here has existed no settled and permanent
market for its disposal, which rendered ex.
irsmely uncertain the price it would CON-
mand. This difficulty will cease to exist
when the English ports are thrown open for
It's admission, for when once in use the

ciaie its value, the demand will continue.

A SWIFT Horse. The Maine Farmer
tells a number of tough stories about a man
whom it calls " Neyerbeat." Here is one Of
them.
A gentleman was Dragging in the presence
Of Nevcrbcat about the speed Of his horse,
which he said would trot u mile inside of
three minutes, and follow it for three consec-
utivc miles
GA mile inside of three minutes amt much
to brag about" said Neycrbeat. "Why the
other day | was up to s., sixteen miles
distant. just as / started for home, a shower
came sweeping on. The rain struck in the
back part Of the wagon, and the moment it
struck, hit old Katc a cut with the whip,and
away she trotted, scarcely touching her feet
to the ground. She had kept just nip,and-
nip with the shower, The wagon was filled
with water, but nat a drop ofraUa .teN on me
Old Kate can't be beat by any piece of horse
flesh in the State. When she goes, she goes
it,"
"Smart horse or a lazy shower" said the
gentleman, as he "mizled."
