BE Crvn-"My young friend" said a
gentleman on horseback one day to a lad
who was standing near n well, twill you do
me the favor to draw pail of water for my
horse, as find it rather difficult to get otif'
Instead OF giving gruf reply, as many
boy would do, the boy drew the water and
gave it to the horse. His manner was so
pleasant and cheerful that the stranger, de-
delighted with his spirit, asked his name and
residence, and then, after thanking him rode
on. The good natured lad thought no more
of this act of civility, until some months
later, he received letter from the gentle
man offering him clerkship in his store.
The offer was accepted The lad prospered,
and finally became chief magistrate of a
large city. Thus you see that little act OF
ciyility to a stranger was the first round in
the ladder by which that boy climbed ia
honor and wealth. Now, do not say thai
cvility will always lead 10 such honor, bui
| do say that it always raises its possessoi
in the opinions of others, and in his owr
selfrespect. Be civil, therefore, boys and
girls. Civility is an ornament you should
all possess.-S. S. AdDocate.

THE BUSINESS INTERESTS of Wilmington
arc suffering greatly for the want of a decent
hrst-class hotel, at which visitors may find
some of the comforts OF home while soiourr
ing here with their families. Can it be pos
sible that there is not enterprise enough in
all the mercantile channels of our city, tc
strengthen and increase its trade by the es
tablishment of first.class hotel?

LYNCH LAW.

We publish elsewhere in our columns To-
day, an account of diserOceful outrage per-
petrated near Leipsic, in Kent County, on
Wednesday night last. party OF unknown
persous went 10 the house OF Mr.. Collins,
called colored man out into the yard, ana
then seized and tied him, and carried nm OIL
and hung him. II is alleged that the barn oil
Mr.. Collins was fired by an incendiary on
the Monday night previous, and the murder
ed man was charged with the commission
of the crime. Whether truly or falsely, it is
a great outrage upon the majesty of the law,
for which we trust the authorities Will
exert all their efforts to bring the perpetra-
tors 10 justice.
1t looks very much like an attempt on the
part of bad men 10 inaugurate system oi
murder against an unofIending class OF peo-
pic, such as has disgraced several localities in
the South. 1t is not improbable that the
guilty authors are the incendiaries, and took
this method TO escape suspicion.
Under the teachings of bad men, many
of the citizens of that County have had
their minds poisoned against the colored
race to such an alarming degree that they
have visited upon them every kind OF mali
ciousness, and have at last even gone so far as
to commit murder. Who knows but these
persons set fire TO Mr.. Collins barn that
they might have pretext for commencing
an onslaught on the colored people of that
locality? 1t looks not at all improbable
as from the statements made it appears
Evans-the man suspected of firing thu
barn-was still at Mr., Collins house, living
with him, which is pretty conclusive evl
dence that even that gentleman did not be
| lieve in his guilt, and had suspicion of othe
parties. 1t looks very black on the part o
S those who under the cover of night and il
5 disguise, dragged man from his HON
and murdered him. and we believe ever
n good citizen in the State will unite with u
If in the expression of the hope that they WI
y be made 10 answer.
ir If there Is any place in the world wher
e. such a crime is objectionable, it is in Dell
ware. Here we have Bench composed {
III gentlemen possessing high legal attainment
I'd and of unquestionable honesty. The recorI
le of our Courts show that their decisions hay
IS. ever been in strict conformity to well esta
he lished law. No man has even dared open

of or charge them with being influenced
improper motives in their official capacit
is What could then have prompted these M

fear that justice would not be metod out
ed the Courts, for they knew that such an I'd
ws would be destitute of even a shadow of fou
he dation in fact. We are afraid that polite
ho prejudice prompted the outrage alone, and
10 trust, for the credit OF our little Commc
icr wealth, that good men of all parties, W

GERMAN W1T.-Count Blsmark's organ
at Berlin ridicules the anxiety .protessed by
some French Journals with reference to the
commercial treaties with the States OF South
Germany. II asserts that these treaties have
no such political Importance as is ascribed
TO them at Paris, and adds that Prussia
might ag we'll take umbrage atthe commercial
treaty between England and France. 'Did

PROCLAMATION.
EXECUTIVE OFFICE.l
JACKSON, MISS, April 6, 1867. 1

WHEREAS, much painful anxiety and appre-
hension exists in the public mind, resulting
from the passage of the "Military Bill" by Con-
gress, and the General Order of General Ord
in assuming command Of the "Military Dis
trict of Mississippi and Arkansas" and
whereas, in some instances, the regular admin
istration of the State Government has been UNI
settled to such an extent as to cause some of
the officers Of the State to suspend the functions
of their Offices and many citizens are hes
itating, while others refuse, TO pay their taxes
upon the assumed ground that the Tax Col
lectors are not competent officers and there
fore are not authorized to receipt for the same;
and as other evils and Irregularities may arise
from the uncertainty that exists as to the du-
ties and responsibilities of officers and citizens
of the State in their present situation-there-
fore, deem it proper to make known that the
Act of Congsess commonly called the military
Billo recognizes the civil existing Government
Of the State. 1t is true 1t is declared TO be pro-
visional only and in all respects subject to
the paramount authority of the United States
at any time to. abolish, modify, control or
supercede the same. But until a change is
made in accordance with the provisions Of
this law, 1 hereby give NOTICE to the Civil
Officers of the State that their relations and
responsibilities to the Constitution Of the Uni
ted States, to the State Of Mississippi and to
the people, remain unchanged, and they will
be held TO a strict accountability for the per-
Torrance Of their duties in carrying out the
provisions Of the laws, for the maintenance Of
the civil Government, and for the full and am
pie protection Of all classes Of inhabitants Of
the State. both white and black. in all Of their
rights of person, property, liberty and religion.
And 1 further ADVISE and admonish all good
citizens and inhabitants to sustain the civil
officers in maintaining the peace, order and Sc
eurity Of society--tO deal justly and indul- !
gently with each other, and in their political /
to devote themselves to pursuits i
Of industry, and to the production Of those
necessaries Of life for which they are now so i
dependent upon the markets Of other States, /
and 10 offer no resistance 10 any steps that may /
be taken in the reconstruction Of the State by 4
the Military authority Of the United States,
except such as may be authorized by the
Courts. under the Constitution OF the United
states. Military power may become intolera-
he orJy when il is placed in the hands Of the
vicious and the unjust. which, happily, l. not
the case in Mississippi. The military Bllls
makes no provision for the support Of the civil
Taxes must be collected BY the
civil officers 70 support it aud to pay Us debts
and whenever any changes are made either IN
lhe civil officers or the duties required Of them,
timely notice will doubtless be given and du-
y promulgated. B. G. HUMPHREYS.
