The Yazoo Nominations,

The proceedings. of the Yazoo Democracy
with an accompanying extract from the Dem
ocrat will be found in our columns to day.
In bringing forward the name of Col. w
R. Hill for the State Senate, the people of that
county have exhibited a wise consideration
of the qualifications essential to useful legis.
lator, and proper regard for the public in
terests.
Col Hill combines all the qualities of ca
pable Senator. In the wide range of State
and federal politics, there is no subject with
which he is not thoroughly conyersant. With
a modest and assuming bearing, as remarkable
as it is winning, he is bold and firm to i'm
moyability in whatever position his cool judg-
ment teaches him he ought to take He is
fully up to the mark of public sentiment upon
all questions involving the welfare Of the South
and in the States councils his services would be
peculiarly valuable should occasion arise requi-
ring her to take action for the protection Of her
reserved rights against the entertainments of
fanatical sectional majority. There are oc-
casions when the ablest and best citizens in
the State may well feel higher sense of sat
istaction in serving in her home councils than
in positions upon which is reflected the glare
of federal honors; and that the present is one
of these occasions, the least obseryant will
admit.
The nomination of DIR. Hiram j. Thomas
for the House is peculiarly fortunate His
excellent judgment, popular manners, and
thorough acquaintance with the forms OF leg
islation by reason of long service, capactate
him for great usefulness as a member.
From what we have learned there will ~
no opposition to the ticket.

Home Interests.

There has never been period in the history
of jackson, when home manufactures were
so well and cheerfully encouraged as al
present During this, the dullest season Of
the year, the workshops and factories are
crowded with contracts, and the busy hum
of machinery is heard at every point of the
compass.
The cotton factory of the Messrs. J. & T.
Green, is turning out its fabrics as rapidly as
possible, to supply the demand for their SUI
perior goods, yet the orders exceed the capa-
city to supply.
Two squares above this establishment on
the Pearl, is the Agricultural Implement
Factory of Messrs. Philips & Kells These
gentlemen deserve great praise for their efforts
to supply the home market with implements
of agriculture Every exertion is being put
forward to supercede the necessity of sending
to the North for farming tools, and thus far
their prospects for ample remuneration are
highly encouraging.
Near the depot of the Southern Railroad,
the attention of the traveller is attracted to
the extensive Foundry Of Mr. Stevens. This
establishment has been as busy as beehive
the past year, during which time it has turned
out several beautiful steam engines, all Of
them giving entire satisfaction. Mr.. s. has,
the past Spring, replaced most of the machi-
merry in his finishing room, with new and
improved lathes, drills, &c, and in order to
obtain greater power has just put up new
engine of his own construction, which oper-
ates most admirably.
The jackson Foundry deserves a liberal
patronage.
In visiting the Canton Depot, and passing
the Planning Machine and Mill of Mr.. w. w.
Hardy, one is reminded of better times
when the sound of the hammer was heard.
We learn that it is the intention to keep on
hand seasoned flooring and variety of lum-
Der to supply the market, which are very much
\ needed in the city.
| Passing by the smaller establishments OF
industry, we come to the Carriage Factory
of Mr.. Norman Plat, in West Jackson,
where orders for any style of carriage are
promptly filled. The Patent Hub of MIR. T.
is worthy the attention of the public, as it has
been tried in our vicinity, and proved to fill
| the demand.
We may be considered as stepping out Of
our channel when we leave the establishments
more nearly connected with the town, but we
feel constrained to say word in relation to
the improvements of the State Pententiary
under the efficient direction of Mr.. Hardin
The Legislature recently made liberal appro'
priations for additional machinery for the new
and extensive Cotton Factory. This machin
ery,-of the most beautiful and substantial
patterns,-has been received from New Jer
sey, some of which has been set up and j.
supplying the market with its fabrics. The
first floor of the building will be occupied
principally by looms-a portion of them being
already in running order.
| This factory is an honor, as we trust it viii
prove source of profit to the State, and w
were impressed with a feeling that instead o
it being severe punishment to be sentenced
as an operative within its walls, il is YER,
comfortable place to expiate a sentence 70
crime.

The Law on our Statute Book.

| PERTAINS our readers generally are not aware
| that in the Revised Code Of Mississippi there
| is statute which reads as follows:
1t shall not be lawful for any person what
soeyer. to bring into this State, or knowingly
| to hold therein any slave born or resident out
| of the United States, or any slave that shall
have been convicted Of any offence, and there
for transported by the laws of this State, or
any other State, territory or district, or that
shall have been secretly or claudestnely run,
to avoid a prosecution for a criminal offence !:
and any such person who shall bring into this
State any such slave or shallsell or purchase
therein any such slave, knowing such slave to
have been brought into this State contrary to
the provisions of this act, shall forfeit and pay
to the State for each SLAVE so brought an, solder
PURCHASED, a fine of one thousand dollars,
on conviction before a court OF competent ju-
risdiction.
The history of this law is this. In 1922,
an act similar to the atove, although not quite
so stringent, was passed BY the LEGISLATURE.
In 1887, an act was passed repeating the above
law, and prohibiting the Introduction OF slaves
from any place whatsoever, designed by Its
proposers, however, to prohibit the introdaction
of the negroes of the border slave states, ana
thereby refusing to assist in draining those
States of their slave population. In 1916,
this last prohibitory act was repealed, in the
words following, to-wit
IL Repeal, An act entitled an act to pro
hiht the introduction of slave into this State,
as merchandise or for sale, approved May Is,
1887, is hereby repealed.
Whether this last repeating act revived the
former law or not, is not the question at this
time, The old law Of 1922 t00s revived and
enlarged by our coditiers, and passed over, as
many other ridiculous things Were, by the
Legislature that adopted the book, as contain
ing the Revised Laws of Mississippi. !.
The question is, and the important one at
this time, shall this law continue to disgrace
the statutes Of this State? Shall Mississippi
ans, while our most moderate public men Of
the State are demanding of Congress the alb
rogation of the Ashburton treaty and the repeal
Of the law making the slave trade piracy, shall
we silently permit such laws to remain on
our statue books

Carroll County.

The Carrollton Democrat of Friday con.
tains the proceedings of the Convention of the
Carroll Democracy, to nominate candidates fol
the Legislature. The ticket selected presents
strong array of talent and superior qualifica-
ton. Says the Democrat:
N the published proceedings it will be seen
that the present incumbents, Maj G. F. Neill
and James P. Scales, ESQ, have been re-nom-
mated, and our worthy citizen, DIR. G. w.
Vasser, nominated by cordial vote thus fill
ing.out the ticket
OF the personal and political claims ofthese
gentleman, it would be a superfons work to
speak.
Mai. G. F. Neill is man too well and fav-
orrbly known, both in his politcal-and social
relations to need one word Of commentator.
Mr. J. P. Scales has already rendered to the
county, in the previous term Of the Legislature,
his able and efficient service, which speaks
sufficiently in his praise
0fhim, as an honest, faithful and able repre-
sentative, and true and reliable democrat,
there can be no shadow of doubt in the mind
of any one has marked his personal or brief
public life I
DR.. g. w. Vasser is a man of intelligence
and integrity, and as he remarked in his
very appropriate speech of acceptance, he is
"a democrat Of the true school and. right sort,n
and we entertain not the slightest doubt but
that he will make a faithful, reliable and
worthy representative.
The Convention endorsed the platform Of
tue State Convention. and adopted resolu-
ton recommending ]. z. George, Esq, for
reelection to the Office Of Reporter to the
High Court of Errors and Appeals.

Now, sir that is sensible Mr. Seward made
no mistake when he recognized the superior

The error that Mr.. Seward made was not in

that higher law than human constitutions
existed, but in disregarding the force or obi

they opposed has opinions of the higher law.
He should have remembered that his opinion
of the higher law was a falliJle one, and,
therefore, distinct and different from the high
er law to which he appealed and which is in
fallible. The authority Of civil government

The Alabama Ultimatum

49, The Huntsville (AIa.5 Democrat the organ
Of the North AIatama Democracy, edited by
j. w. Clay, Esq, a brother Of the distinguish
ed Senator from that State, thus explicitly de-
clares the conditions upon which, and upon
which only, it will support the nominee of the
Charleston Convention. The ultimatum of
the Mississippi Democracy is defined in the
resolutions which fly at our masthead.
No nominee of the Charleston Conyen-
ton can obtain our support, unless the
platform adopted shall substantially recognize
the constitutional rights of the South on the
slavery question, as laid down by the Su-
preme Court in the bred Scott decision, to-
wit: that slavery is recognized in the Consti-
tuition, and that it is the duty of every depart
ment of the Federal Government, Congress
sionaL Judicial and Executive, to guard and
protect it-and unless the antecedents of the
nominee are such as to justify the belief that
he will be safe custodian of the rights of
the South under the Constitution.
