Census of Marshall County.

Mr. THos. II. SMITH, the efficient Assessor OF
Marshall county, has kindly furnished us with
the statistics of population, etc, for 1900
The population Of the county is 2s,475.
Whites, 1l,473: males $685.: females, 557s.
Blacks, slaves, 1924; males, 7,749 females,
1873. Mulattoes, (slaves,) 1,l66 males, 533 F;
females, 633. Free negroes, II males, b; fe-
males, Z. Men subject to military duty, 1893.
White children between and eighteen years
of age 1893.
1t will be seen that Marshall has smaller
population than it had in 1850. Marshall will
have to do better than that or yield the proud
title of Empire county.

s4SHThc Breckenridge Electors in Tennessee
declare that the election of Lincoln will not be
sufficient cause for resistance The Breckites
down this way denounce Mr. Douglas for saying
the same thing VicksJurg Wing.
Political editors sometimes have the faculty Of
seeing the acts of their opponents through a
glass darkly. We do not doubt that the editor
of the Wig believed the statement made in the
above paragraph. Notwithstanding, we hest
tate not to say that it is false. There are many
Breckenridge Democrats who believe the cleo
ton of Lincoln would not be sufficient cause for
the dissolution of the Union, just as, on the 9TH
er hand, there are many Bellites who think it
would be. Mr.. Douglas is not denounced for
saying Mr.. Lincoln's election would be no excuse
for dissolution. In his Norfolk speech he did
not stop at that. He went on to say that II
any State should deem it cause for secession, he
believed the strong arm of government ought to
coerce her into submission; and he further, and
more insultingly, declared that he would assist
Mr.. Lincoln in the coercion of seeding State,
and in hanging, thigh as Haman," the traitor
Gus meters of secession. Cannot the editor Of
the Wing discover the difference between the po
sition Of Mr. Douglas, and the Tennessee cleo
tors' Mr.. D. denies right and the Breclin
ridge electors say there is no cause to exercise
that right

Pngh VS.. Douglas.


SENATOR Pugh Of Ohio, Douglas right bower
in the Charleston Convention, uttered senti-
ments in his debates on the floor OF that body
by no means corresponding with the coercion"
doctrine proclaimed by the Squatler candidate
for the Presidency:
81 agree that no court, Supreme or inferior,
has any right to bind any State in the last re-
sort. Applause / believe the Federal Gov
crnment to be founded upon a mutual compact
between the States, and as the States entered in
to that compact Of their own sovereign WILL so
it belongs 70 each Of them, as this asbtcr of its
own destiny, to decide when thc compact has
been broken, and the mode and measure of re.
dress. Great applause.
81 say, then, because believe in the doctrine
Of States rights--because hold to the faith Of
l79S-99, as expressed in The Virginia and Ken
lucky resolutions, and in The famous report Of
Mr.. MadSon-that will not consent 10 arm the
Federal Government with 4 power not conferred
by the Constitution, with power which it car
never wisely exercise, with power which any
attempt to exercise and enforce, must inevitably
bring on discord, confusion, and ill-blood and
keep US estrangcd."

THE ELECTION!
GLORIOUS DEu0CRATIo VIoTORY!y

FRoN the following summary of the returns of
the election in this county, it will be seen that
the enemies of Democracy have sustained "a
Waterloo defeat in old Lafayette. The vote of
the county is the largest, we believe, that was
ever cast The Bell and Douglas men, as is now
openly avowed by them, coalesccd and supported
each others candidates, pursuant to regular
bargain to that effect. They were untiring in
their efforts, and INSCRIPTIONS in their intrigues,
but all to no purpose. They had no hope, from
the first of carrying all the county officers and
hence, in order TO run in one of their men, they
sacrificed thc'othcrs, without conjunction, by
swapping" them off for their favorite. 1t is
now demonstrated that Douglas has no strength
in the county, and that the forces of Bell and
Douglas when combined, arc no match for The
lcgions of genuine Democracy. We have no
time now for further observations. Next week,
we purpose to lay before our readers tabulated
statement Of the vote of the various precincts in
the county-which we could. not obtain in time
for our present issue-and, at the same time we
will subject the vote itself to.slich an analysis as
will show that Lafayette may be counted on for
an increased Democratic majority in November.

THE number Of undergraduates who have
been admitted into the University. during the
present session, has already reached III, which
exceeds, by two, the total number Of matrienla-
tons during the whole Of the last session. We
were inisinformed, two weeks ago, in regard to
the number of students then upon the ground
Last year, at theclose Of the second week of the
session, there were but 1876 students in attend

sion, up to yesterday, was 1Os, against 50 up to
the corresponding period Of the SESSION. Of 1859

In the Law Department, like encouraging
increase is to be noted. Last year, during the
first two weeks of the session, Is new pupils
entered the Law School: this year, within the
same space of time, 10 new pupils have entered
When we take into consideration the circum-
stance-which was not known in advance to all
who desired to send their sons to 0xford-that
the exercises of the University were resumed
this year, fully two weeks earlier than usual
and the additional fact that the crops, in extern
sive districts of this State, are ascertained or
apprehended to be very short, we cannot doubt
that the number of students. who would other
wise have been in attendance here at the present
time has been considerably diminished through
the operation of those causes. The true friends
Of the University, therefore, have every reason
to congratulate themselves upon its present con-
dition and futurc prospects. It's hold upon the
public favor, with the year that has past has
