The Opposition and Col. cushman.

The following Article, taken from the
Raymond Gazette, a paper which opposes
Democracy with an ability and energy
worthy of a better cause, is the highest
compliment which we have yet seen paid
to Col. Cushman. 1t seems that he is the
favorite with everybody for Governor
The opposition. conscious of their inabili-
ty to elect a member of their own party.
are anxious to "give the State a good
Governor, a worthy Governor. a Governor
of whom the people may feel proud" in
the person of Judge Cushman:
Our Democratic friends in all parts of
the State seem busy in canvassing the
claims and capacity of sundry gentlemen
whose names will be presented to the en-
suing Democratic Convention. as suitable
persons for the office of Governor. 1t an
pears to be generally understood that Gov.
Neville, name will not be presented to
the convention, and hence the Dmina-
ton will ncces s2rily faIfon c n Nv man.
We are glad to perceive that our old fa-
yorite among all the prominent Democrats
of the State, continues to be the fayorite
candidate in many sections. and will GER
tainly he a leading competitor in the Con
ventiOn, if not the successful one. We
allude TO Col. J. F. Cushman. Of LAFAYETTE.
1t Is none of our business to interfere in
the matter, but our Democratic friends
must allow us to say. that if they wish to
give the State good Governor, worthy
Governor Governor of whom the people
may feel proud, and at the same time a
thorough Democrat, they cannot possibly
do better than to take up Col. Cushman,
Politics aside, he would adorn the sta
tom
There is feeling among the people of
Mississippi towards Col. Cushman, which
overleaps all party lines-overides all sec
tional feelings-and there is scarcely a
doubt but that he will be the next Chief
Magistrate of our commonwealth. If the
true sentiments of the people govern in
the jackson Convention, he will assured
ly be the nominee of the Democratic
party-Ortord HTcsuv.

wealthy downtown merchant, suddenly
disappeared, and her friends were unable
to obtain any trace of her. A few DAYS
since 1t TRANSFERRED that a girl had been
sent to the Brooklyn Hospital. where she
died about half am hour after her admis-
sion. The poSt-mOrtcnt examination reveal
ed the fact that she had been subjected TO
a surgical operation for procuring an aboT-
ton. The merchant with whom the mis-
sing girl had lived, has married daughter
with whom he has a standing quarrel, and
Catherine was her intimate friend. and
this daughter states that little while be-
fore Catharine's disappearance. she told
her the merchant had seduced her. and
thatmeasures would be taken to prevent
the disgrace. 1t is suspected that the girl
who died in the Hospital was the missing

promised TO produce the missing girl,
which he has failed TO do.

no definite and final action will be had on

nouncc that the TAXPAYERS of the county

them, and that they are morally certain
to put all things right at the election on

To those who are afflicted with diseases
of the eye, we would recommend the eel

advertisement will be found in to-day's
paper. The wide spread notoriety the
DIR. has a. a competent and slIillful oculist

him to the afflicted. He has established
an Eye Inirmary in New Orleans where
patients will have all possible care and at
tention bestowed upon them. Farmers

do well to place them under the treatment
Of the ". who, if it is possible, warrants
