The New York World thinks it perceives
the beginning Of Il political re action at the
North, or else, it asks, show does it happen,
that the President feels encouraged to act with
greater vigor and decision now than he has
evineed at any previous time since his acces-
sion.' Possibly, it may be, that the President,
without reference to ''re-action," finds that
it is absolutely necessary to change his admri5-
trative course towards those who have 50 long
attempted to reduce him to state of political
non entity. He may now see, that he has de-
lsyed decisive action too long already

For the.last sixteen years the Parisians have
bad 60 other patriotic air than 'Partaut pour

the Austrian band yielding to the shrieks Of
the people, struck up that splendid, that most
warl,ke OF tunes, the melody Of which went
ringing through the house az a spirit moving
strain, with all its bursts Of rich harmony and
its mourDfuI wailings The enthusiasm Of the
public was indescribable The Government

The NIGGER KILLED THE HOG AND THE
Hoe KILLED THE NIGERIA friend just
returned from Mississippi furnishes us
an incident afiording pretty fair illus
traton of how matters are managed in
Mississippi. As is we'll known, a large
proportion of the colored population in
the interior are engaged in the laudable
occupation of stcck.lifting-running off
and slaue htering cows and hogs with as
much sang .troid as Butler would steal a
spoon or Pope tell lie. Occasionally a
robbed planter overtakes one of these
black chevaliers, and a job for some en-
terprising coroner is the next thing on
the programme. A few days ago, back
of Aberdeen, a gentleman discovered a
negro lying in a swamp, considerably
dead, his body bearing indubitable evil
denee of having been selected as the
depository of few buckshot On a
placard on his back, scrawled in large
letters, was the following gushing ex-

THE DIFFEREYCE.-The difference be-
tween Leftwich and Beecher is that
between an honorable man and one
whose back is plastered with criminal
indictments. Those who vote for Beecher
voluntarily support a man notorious
in the criminal records of every com
munity disgraced by his presence.
Those who vote for Leftwich support a
man personally known to nearly every
man in West Tennessee as a gentleman
of capaehy, experience and honesty.
Beecher sto-day a defaulter to the
United 6overnment and has been
arres, illinois, charged with steal
iug S-logs and clothing. We have not
heard that he was accused of taking saw
mills, red-hot stoves or steamboats,. Such
things cannot easily be carried Here
he has been charged with receiving a
bride, executing little genial pilfering,
and seeking to procure the assassination
ola man whose house he obtained through
the very honorable medium of tax title.
He is the man whom w. j. Smith, I. A.
Hamilton, NJ. T. Ryder, Grandmother
Hunter, Blewis & Co. indorse, and are
working for day and night The receiver
of stolen goods is regarded as culpable as
the thief. People will have their own
