Southern Military Law before the
Supreme Court of the U. S.


Southern Military Law before the
Supreme Court of the U. S.
Judge Starkey and r. j. Walker,
as AttOrnies for the State Of Mis-.
sissippi, asked and obtained leave
to file motion in the United States
Court, on the 9Th inst, for leave
to file Bill and Injunction against
Andrew johnson and Military Com
manders of Mississippi. Stansber-
ry, Attorny General, opposes the
motion. AS we take it from the
report of the proceedings, the OBJ
ject is to stop all proceedings un-
der this Militray despotiSm act, and
test fairly its Constitutionality be-
fore the Courts. This is all right.
The motion was set for hearing on
the 18th inst. The jurists of the
country will watch this case with
considerable interest, as it is one OF
the most important ever brought.

Something to Wear!


Miss FLORA McFLIMsEY-one of the fair,
Raised a great muss because she'd nothing

such woeful condition we're sure all must
pity,
To be without clothing and live in city
But if she had known our friend RICH
MAN up street,
In clothing superb she could have fitted up
neat
Not exactly the garb that her sex are wont
to wear:
But better even thus than that she should

To the gents of our county we would say,
one and all,
For your clothing, fail not to give RICH
MAN a call:
In prices he'll suit yor--in style and in
grade,
For all other establishments he "lays in
the shade.'
His stock of hats, caps, boots, shoes and
gaiters, all told, '... ..
In this markeG, so cheap, ne'er before have
been sold;
He has trunks andvalises, cravats and neck
ties, 90 a|
And all else in his line that good taste
could devise. ....
Then give him call nor wait to be told,
That his goods were all purchased with sill
yer anG gold,
Which enables him now to out-sell the
best,
In coat, pants or hat, even down to vest.
Remember the place: in Davis Block,
just one door east of our friend John S.
Hawk.

sertion is correct or not. Nor do we
care. The rebellion is thing of the
past. The members of the ticket,
without single exception, are now
Constitutional Upionists; and that is
all we care to know of their political
character. 1t is all the people care to
know. It is the vital point. Our

relevant. 1t has no more to do with

/ The journal talked very differently
last May. It's readers will remember
with what words of scorn and con-
tempt it attacked the platform of the
convention of the first of May. They
will hardly be able to comprehend
that the Journal now indorses and
sustains a series of resolutions the
first five of which were taken from
the first of May platform. They will
remember, too, how that paper assail-
ed Col. ID. HOWARD SMITH, the chief
of Gen. MoRGAN's staff, for his impu-
dence in asking the people of Ken
lucky to vote for him for one Of the
best Offices in their gift. Can they
realize that the name of D. HOWARD
SMITH now stands at the head of the
Journals columns for the position of
Auditor of State, and that the dis
tinguished guerrilla chief is to be the
object of its wordy eulogiums? Such
political harlotry has never before
been seen in this country, and must
arouse feelings of modification in the
hearts of the old admirers and sup
porters of the Journal, which they
will be unable to shake off. Revenge

KentuckY Politics.

On the second page we copy an
article from the Louisville Democrat,
regulating the action of the late
Democratic Convention. The ar
ticle has attracted no little attention
in Kentucky, and may have an i'm
portant bearing in the political con-
test to take place in that State. The
course pursued by the Democrat has
surprised many, but certainly is not
half so surprising as that adopted
by the Journal, which HOSTS the
entire Democratic ticket, and "goes
In, with all the zeal of a new con-
vert, regardless of consistency, de-
cency or the good opinion of the
world. 1t must be most gratifying
triumph to the editor of the Courier
to thus be able to force the Journal
to support men whom it has de-
nounced in the most bitter terms.
Had he been permitted to choose a
plan by which he could be avenged on
the Journal for its manifold insults to
him, and for the torrents of abuse it
poured upon him during his dismal
and lonely wanderings through the
South, hecould have selected none so
refined and excruciating, as the hui
initiating position in which he has
placed that paper at this time, in the
estimation Of intelligent people.
The Democrat. with the old fire of
1861, refuses thus to be Inundated,
and prefers to go down, if need be,
with its colors flying. 1t will thus
retain the respect even of its enemies,
however it may lose their patronage
1t is amusing to witness the spirit
of bravado with which the Journal
seeks to defend its cause. We copy a
sample of its reasoning. In reply to
the assertions that Che members of its
ticket, with aasingle exception, were
anti-war men, the Journal says.

says BRICK PoMERoY is natural
product of the teeming, growing, mag
nifcent Northwest. The Bulletin is
much mistaken. PoMERoY is a Con-
necticut Yankee, native of Bridge
port, town which proposes to elect
BARNUM as its Representative in Con-
gress. 1t is just such specimens as
Brick, that have made New England SO
obnoxious to Southerners. He is de-
scended from one of those chaps who
dealt in horn gun fints, wooden hams
and nutmegs. PoMERoY is now en-
gagged in furnishing the people of
Memphis and other Southern cities
with intellectual commodities, which
are greater shams than were the fints,
hams and nutmegs, of his ancestors.
