Hon. JoHN WATTs-Our readers
viii notice the announcement of Judge
Watts as candidate for reelection to
the office Of Circuit Judge, which he
now holds
No man in the State has held office
so long, no man as an officer, has been
so generally sustained by the people,
as Judge Watts When a young man,
over thirty years ago, and soon after
he had comWenced the practice of his
profession, he was elected District
Attorney over tho ablost and most
popular lawyers in the District. In
1897, he was candidate for re-elec-
ton John j. McRae, afterwards
Governor. member of Congress and
L. $. Senator, one of the ablest and
most deservedly popular men in the
State, was his opponent Gen
Watts was elected. He remained Dis
trict Attorney until 1S45. He was
then candidate for Circuit Judge
Judge Mounger and Judge Dawson
were his opponents. Dawson was elect
eI The next election, in 1S49, Gen
Watts was. again a candidate and was
elected He has held the office from
that time to the present The district
has been changed several times, but
the result has been the same-Judge
Watts triumphant election. The
Judge though now somewhat advanced
n years, is as faithful, diligent, and
competent to attend to the various
duties of his Office as at any period in
his life, aud WILL we presume, be elect
ed without opposition.

A PERSONAL CARD.

PERSONAL CARD
The article which appeared in the
Clarion and Standard of yesterday, in
dictated in a manner too plain to be
misunderstood, that its author, j. L.
Power, desired or contemplated per-
sonal conflict with me. Making my
appearance about 9 O'Clock in the
morning, on Capitol street,'I was in
formed, through friend of Mr.. Power,
that the latter was ready to meet me
at any time in any manner.
Believing, from these circumstances,
that fight was intended, took my
position (being armed at conspicu-
Gus point on Capitol street, within a
short distance of the Clarion Office
Power was informed and knew that /
was there ready to meet him. I re-
manned there about one hour and
a-half, when 1 was forced to leave the
street by information that was about
to be arrested; whereupon l Immedi-
ately concealed myself in the most
effectual manner During the whole
time was on the street, expecting the
conflict, Power made no demonstra-
ton, whatever, although he was not
arrested until a very short time before
left my position.
Whilst was concealed from the Off
GERS, Power being under arrest, though
not in actual custody, through his
friend agreed to meet me in fifteen
minutes in the rear of the State House.
As soon as practicable, and within
the time prescribed, / was on the
ground, having abandoned my place of
concealment, and avoided the officers
of the law, who were on the lookout
for me.
Power was Immediately informed
that | was on the ground ready to
meet him as agreed upon, and friend
of mine offered to conduct him to the
place.
Power at frs! objected, saying that
he was under arrest, but being assured
that | would pay his bond, he agreed
to proceed to the place of meeting.

which he might have done, 1.-THE course

During the morning the following
placard was posted on the streets,

To THE PUBLIC.
j. L. POWER, in an article which
appeared in the Clarion of this date,
having admitted that his article of day
before yesterday was based upon the
personal and insulting illusions

occasions" and having by falsehood
and evasion, attempted to relieve him
self from the personal onus imposed
on him by my notice of him on yester-

From the Mississippian. Jnlr u.


Our criticism on the disgraceful po-
litical course of the Clarion for some
time after the surrender, coupled
with our reprimand for his bearing
false witness, has called forth a con-
temptible and cowardly reply from the
editor of that journal If the editor
had felt himself aggrieyed, which we
have reason to believe he did, from the
bitter whining exhibited in his notice
of the Mlssissippian on yesterday, he
might have saved the public some of
that disgust which he processes to
dread, by seeking some other channel
than the columns of his journal to
vent his spleen. The systematic eff
fort on the part of the Clarion concern
to undermine has been very evident to
the public, and their ridiculous favor
has well nigh run them mad.
In conclusion We have to say that if
it is the intention of the editor of the
Clarion to declare that we have made
any statements in regard to the con-
troversy between us that is inconsist-
ent with the facts, he states what he
knows to be g. deliberate falsehood.

A Romantic and Tragic Story.

The following highly romantic and
tragic story is from the New Orleans
Times:
Nearly a year ago one of the first
merchants in the city met and loved a
woman of English birth, whom he be-
heved to be widow
His advances were favorably re-
celVed, and after many happy hours
passed in pleasant converse, the gentle
man at length declared his passion
To his surprise and chagrin, the lady,
with many tears, informed him that
her husband was not dead. A long
story of unkindness, neglect, maltreat-
ment, and a separate maintenance, was
related. The fair one, with the ut
most frankness, went into all the de-
tails of her Wretched existence, and
ended by hoping a divorce suit, then
pending, would terminate IN her favor
The gentleman, encouraged by the
confidence, and eager for the posses
sion of such a treasure, insisted on
her at once departing for England,
and bountifully supplied the lubricat-
ing material for the rusty machinery
of the courts. The journey was made,
and in the course of q few weeks the
bagatelle of II, 600 was expended.
Not many moons elapsed ere the low
er was favored with a most tender
epistle, conveying, in the postscript,
intelligence of another draft for $1O,-
900, which he would, of course, pay on
presentation. The business of the
law proved exceedingly expensive
Two more drafts for $1,000 each were
forwarded to this country, and prompt
ly paid. The gentleman becoming
at the enormous drain on his
purse, ventured to demonstrate, and !
begged the lady, ifpOssible, to conduct
the business with more economy. The
communication in reply, dated at Par |
is, quietly Informed him that the suit
had been decided against her, that she
was tied forever to the object of de-
testation, and that although she could |
never forget the disinterested friend |
ship of the kindest of men, they must /
never again meet on earth. The un-
happy gentleman, maddened at his fol- !
ly, and crippled in business by the |
immense outlay of money, ended his |
existence by his own hand. Long af- /
ter tl4is tragedy the real creator of it
Dresumes again to address the man she
80 Wronged.

Bismark on American Affairs.

Mr.. Smalley, the Berlin correspond
ent of the New York Tribune was re-
Gently favored with a long interview
with Count Bismark in the course of
which the celebrated Diplomatist
made the following remarkable state
ments
In our relations with the United
States, l never had a doubt The To-
ry party In Pru ssia, to which I am sup
posed to belong, at the outbreak Of
your war besOught the King to recog-
nize the South. | opposed it infiexi-
bly,. To me it was clear that the North
only could be the true ally Of Prussia;
with the South we had nothing in
common. The Government of Prus-
sia never wavered in its friendship for
yours. The sentence was uttered
proudly, and the burning eyes famed
brightly. 1t is a traditional policy
with us. Frederick the Great was, L
think, the first European sovereign to
recognize your independence. | am
hearty glad to know that America un-
derstands and reciprocates the friend
ly feeling we have steadily maintain
ed.
And here follows a curious state
ment-a fact not known to me before,
and I think unpublished in America.
''At the beginning of our war, said
Count Bismark, Austria was stronger
than we on the water, and Italy was
not sure to us. 1t was proposed to me
that the leading Southern naval Off
GERS should join US with 5000 men
and suitable vessels. They were not to
come at ali as the Confederate navy,
but as individuals, and the most emil
nent officers among them were inclu-
ded in the offer, I consulted your
Minister to know whether an accept
ance of this offer would be offensive
to the American Government. Mr.,
Wright was in doubt, and wrote to
Washington. He received instruc-
tions to oppose the scheme, and I at
once declined having anything to do
with it, Semmes made the proposal. .

THE FAMILY CIRCLE.

THIRTEEN MONTHS IN A YEAR.-
1t seems to me I never knew so short
year as the last" said Carrie
Evans so her friend Mary. I can
hardly convince myself that there were
really twelve months ia il"
y have formed a plan, said Mary,
of making this year have thirteen
months"
l should like to get your secret,
Mary, for L am sure It is quite as need
tul for me as you; I have twice the
amount of work to do"
1t IS very simple one. I have re-
solved to rise an hour earlier for one
thing; have tried it for q fortnight
and ind that 1 feel better and brighter
with seven hours sleep than 7 used to
with eight and more. That saves half
Of my month, you see. Then I used TO

when my hands might as we'll have
been busy. l used to hesitate and
loiter over my duties instead of taking
the simple rule, when I have any
thing to do 60 and do it," That was
the rule by which a distinguished
clergyman used to work, who was en-
abled to accomplish so much that it
called forth the wonder and admlra-
ton of all who knew him Now, Car
rie, let US both try to redeem the time
this year, and edd, at least, another
month to it.
Il viii make the effort, Mary, but if
1 should reclaim all the time I have
suffered to run to waste, am not sure
but l should make the year fifteen or
twenty months long, compared with
those that are passed"
And is not this the experience Of
many others who have suffered pre-
cious days and weeks to glide away
without yielding any useful return ?
Oh, there have been those, in a dying
hour, who would have given all their
possessions for another day Of proba-
5ion, but it was denied them. THE
night eOmeth wherein no man can
work"
