of the bar and bench, and was admitted to a
degree Of familiar intercourse with the high
est intelleclu classes, at that time rarely
enjoyed by private gentlemen from this
country. While residing in Paris, he form

Court, and, at his request, prepared defense
Of the American claim to the northeastern
boundary. This able argument vas repub.

tgnuni'S Messenger, and was universally
thought to do honor to The authr as an ac-

for three years, and, upon his return again
occupied the chair Of lecturer at the Cam
bridge Law School. and, after the death of
Just ce Story in 1915, was unanimously

Although his tastes and habits were averse
to public Office, he consented % become a
candidate Tor the United States Senate as
successor TO Daniel Webster, and was elect

from the Napoeonville Pioneer, of the l4th instant

adontinr some measures for the pubc salely aEalsV
the threatened insurrection among the blacks heso

defeat should it take place. There i negro man ~
nrcsent in the parish jail awaiting ms trla accuseu
Of being d party to that insurrecton.
We presume, although not fully advised that these
Vigilance Committees are organized on the pan
adopted in ST. Mary If So they will answer the enas
designed BY their organization. The St. Mary system
is yery complete and is calculated to reach and erad-
cate tie evils complained Of. It should be adopted
and enforced everywhere until the Legislature enacts
Black Code that will render extra;judical and eSecu
tive organizations unnecessary. s.... '7..
To our mind the fact is evident that abolition ems
sares in the shape Of pedders, school teachers col

For the poor, weak and naturally imbeclie negro
some excuse for leniency may be found; but for tn
white VILLAINS, none. They do not come within til
pale of mercy. as they would treat US, our wives

In our last we announced the purchase Of the
Vicksburg and Jackson Railroad, by a company com

the latter and to meet inquiry made OF us since,
and for the satisfaction Of the community who are
deeply interested, we wish to say that the announce
Knowledge dispatch having been received by one
of the directory from VIM c. Smcdes, ESQ.,, presl-
dent of the Southern Railroad, communicating the
fact.
Although the detailed particulars of the transaction
would be interesting still the authorized statement OF
the fact is none the less agreeable. From what we
have heard through the newspapers and other sources
we incline to the belief that this purchase will result
in the speedy completion of the Southern Railroad
eastward from Brandon to the Alabama State line,
and thence on to some pointn Acknowledgements
~ was the original point of destination some years
aeo-where it will connect with the grand railroad
system of the South, which will bring Middle Mlsss-
sipp within striking distance Of the principal ports
Of the Southern and Northern Atlantic seaboards'
The advantages Of these connections will be very
great.
And before, in all probability he'Southem Rail
road has completed its eastern connections, our
great Northern Road will have reached and passed
jackson, thus constituting system of connections
that will be useful to the public, profitable to the
stockholders beneficial to the country, and decidedly
advantageous to New Orleans for the greater the
number of railroads the better for With anything
approxmatng equal facilities, the trade of the South
West will come to its natural market, New Orleans
instead of seeking unnatural markets in Atlantic
seaboard cities The entire verify of this assertion
no intelligent merchant now questions.
