Mr.. S. G. Oliver. of Montgomery, in IA
letter TO The editor says:
"a worse year there never was. except
1s40-when there was great loss OF cot.
ton bols from continued rains but cater
pillar never made its appearance here be-
fore in such numbers-or any thing like it
except in 1926. This year is remarkable
for the absence of all chances for top crop
let frost come when it may. Those who
planted early, thinned out and started their
crops make the best crops"
Returns were received from five counties
in Mississippi, as follows: Monroe, Macon,
Lowndes, Noxubee and Sumter. reca-

CAPITAL PuNsHMENT.-A bill recent.
passed the Indiana House of RePresentati
YES by vote of SO to 20, that gives to the
Jury in all cases of capital crime, a discre
tonary power of finding that the criminal be
placed in solitary confinement in the State
prison for life, or that he be hung. In the
present state of public sentiment, this act Of
legislation will amount 10 virtual abolition
of Capital punishment iu the Hoosier State.
We should be pleased TO know that similar
bill had passed both BRANCHES Of the Legis-
Iature of this State. We are strongly in
clined to the belief that the terrors of pro-
spective incarceration for life, in the solitary
cells of dungeon would be more efficient
in the prevention of capital crimes, than the
fears of suffering a speedy though ignomin-
ious death upon the scaffold.-M. Vernon
Times.

DISTRESSING AND FATAL Acc1DENT.-We
learn from the National Intelligencer of yes
ter, that arother fatal accident occurred on
Thursday, by the explosion in the laboratory
at the Navy Yard. 1t appears that while the
workmen were engaged in the dangerous
operation of preparing detonating powder,
an explosion took place, which caused the
immediate death of person named Dali
ley, from Philadelphia, whose skull and head
we're shattered in dreadful manner. A
son of Captain Mitchell, of the steamboat
Oceola. had an arm broken by this distressing
occurrence. We understand the concussion
was very great, so as to raise the roof Of the
building and otherwise injure it.

clans and spectators who stand now outside
she bar with eyes gloating in delight over
anticipated wealth and offices almost within
grasp, not 10 trust too fondly in uncertain
riches, or in Office still more uncertain. Let
me beg them TO remember that the power
which creates can destroy, and that founded
only upon legislative action, legislative ac-
tion will yet take them away. Let them not
hatter themselves that all this is idle menace
never to be executed. No, sir, it is the
firm purpose ofmei who know what can be
done, and who are resolved to do it.
And now, Mr.. Speaker, having in the
name of my colleagues, of myself and of
the people of Columbiana, protested thus
solemnly against the consumaton of this
wrong upon them and upon us, leave this
majority TO whatever course in respect to this
bill tney may see fit to pursue.

THr PEACE ORoAr VERSUS A MARns

The PEACE ORGAN VERSUS MARINE
Wharf.-The Wing party--or, as Il wasrignuy
called in Jeferson's days, the Federat party
lis a very queer one. II has bgt one OBJ
iect, always; and that is, to make money
and let what will happen, nothing must 20
done that will interfere with their schemes
in the least: 1t has been styled "the peace,
party in war; and the war party in peace"
and very properly, too, for the Federalist'
opposed the war of 1912 most doggedly;
and the only time they were ever known to
favor war, was when General Jackson de-
manded indemnity money Of the French
Governments for then they bristled up; and
pretended to be very patriotic, because inc
quarrel was about money, and because they
hoped that war would make National
Bank necessary. Thus, if war were de-
clared, they would gain point--a darling
obect-and that was the height Of their pa
triotsm; but even this was carried too far by
them to please all their great men, for Mr..
Webster declared on the floor of the Senate,
that he would not vote for a certain appro-
priation, if the enemy were even then bat

The REV. SAMUEL l.. SoUTHARD.-The
Courier 81 Enquirer states that this popular
young Clergyman has declined the call TO be
Assistant Rector of Trinity Church, and
that it is the first instance of the kind on re-
cord. The salary, &c, is about $4,000 pei
annum for life, and is considered the most
valuable pecuniary office in the United
States; The Judges of the Supreme Court
the only permanent station under our govern
ment-receiving but $4,590. Mr.. Soulhard
is at present in receipt Of "a salary from his
congregation of 81 roo.
The editor of the Enquirer seems to look
upon this declination as something very
like a miracle, but we confess we can see
nothing so very wonderful in it. We sup
pose MIR. Southard thought he could do more
good by remaining in his present position,
and did not think that the prospect of larger
salary was sufficient reason of itself to in
duce him 10 sever the ties between himself
and his congregation. When Cfergymen
generally come to act upon different princi-
Piles, then begin 10 look out for infdels.--

DuEL1NG AND HoNoR.-We do not remem-
ber ever to have read more pithy and ap-
propriate remark than the following, con-
ianed in speech of Mr. Kennedy, of In
diana, on the Oregon notice." There has
been comparison here between the honor
of an individual, who goes out to fight hi,
felow-man in prva ;e life, and the honor OF
nation engaged in war. But what Is y
that iustifies war? The vindcation Of our
rights. But what is the motive Of duel!
The obtaining of little poor, carnal revenge:

THE MONEY OF THE BIRLE.-Ancient re-

unto Ephron; and Abraham weighed tc
Ephron the silver which he had named in
the audience of the sons of Heth, four hun,

be seen, according to scripture authority, al

home of licentiousness and crime.

CATCHING AT SrRAws.-The Wooster
Bank has an organ called, we believe, the
Standard" which has been making consi-
derable noise since the convention of the
9Th, about bands and soft money, and says it
won't go for David Tod for Governor no
how it can be fixed. This is just what
every body expected. No one ever supposed
that the banks, or their hirel,ngs, would sup
port democratic measures, or democratic
candidates for office. And yet the wings
are crying out Justify that the rawlings of this
federal sheet owned by the wooster bank,
are evidence of disaffection in the demo-
cratic party! This is catching at straws,
sure enough.--A,St Mary's Sentinel.
