The Campaign In acknowledgement OF
The CONSERVATIVES Republican seaus.
paiah for MihsisaiHpb opened aS CoxintRs
onsSaturdaN by Npeeches from judge
Deht, Col nge. shd Gem Robert LOVE
Try. Judge Bent commenced BY saying,
there were two parties at present in Mis-
sissippi, one was known as the .''Bitter-
enders," or extremists, the other as the
National Republican Union party. To
che latter he belonged, and from that
party he had received the distinguished
honor OF being placed at the head of the
ticket, and been chosen their standard
bearer in the present campaign. The
one party, he'd by Tsrbell, Ames, Alcorr
&Co., wanted to disfranchise the white
people, while the party he belonged to
were in favor of universal suffrage and
amnesty. Addressing the colored peo-
pie, about $50 Of whom were present. he
said he would urge them, in the strong
est terms, not to be antagonistic to the
people of the South. among whom they
had been raised. He assured them the
Southern mon loved them, and would
protect them in their rights better than
any stranger could do. He said many
white men who came from the North
were constantly contending that it was
through their efforts the colored race
had procured its freedom. Such was not
the fact, as Gen. Grant and many other
distinguished soldiers and statesmen had
declared that it was only circumstance
OF war; that it was never intended to
give the colored man his freedom, until
it became war of necessity; neither was
it intended to give them the right to
vote, until it became political necessity
in the work of reconstruction. He con-
tended that they need not thank the peo-
pie OF the North for the right and privi-
leges they enjoyed. He urged them to
beware of the party Of which Tarbell,
Gen. Ames, Alcorn & Go. are the lead
ers; but to join their fortunes with true
Southern men, who would protect them
in their rights. It was only by doing so
that their race could be perpetuated. If
they failed to join those who loved and
really understood them, they would drift
away like the Indian to the frontier of
civilization, and in few years entirely
disappear. All Ames, Tarbell & Co.
wanted was Office; that was all their pre-
tended patriotism consisted of. After
they got all they wanted, through the
votes of the colored men, they would
turn around and mock at their calamity.
They belonged to the proscriptionists
and would deprive them Of all the rights
If it would servo their purpose. There
fore, he urged them to support those
who would protect them in their rights.
He closed his address by calling upon
those assembled to support the men who
were in favor of peace throughout Mis-
sissippi and the entire country, and who
were in favor of equal rights to all.

How MEM BECOME DRUNKAnDs.-In
the Probe, published at the Sanitarium
for Inebriates, Media, Pa., some new
facts with regard to the causes of ine-
briefly are noted. One-third Of the
whole number of patients in the institu-
ton acquired a taste for strong drink in
the social circle; the other two.thirds
became drunkards from constitutional
tendencies, inducing insanity in some,
and reckless disregard of moral obliga-
tiohs in others. OF the first class, twe,-
ty-two were cured; of the second, or ],
eight. Two-thirds of the whole had the
benefits of, Christian and temperance
training, while only twenty three had
been, neglected. From this it would
seem that the temperance question re-
quires to be considered in variety of
aspects. and that almost every subject
affecting human interests deserves care
full attention.

A REPORTING MAcH1SE.-M. Gensoul,
an ingenious Frenchman, has invented a
'stenographic press. The reporter sits
at something like keyboard of piano
forte, and by applying his fingers to the
keys. prints the words rs they drop from
the lips of the speakes, syllable by sylIa-
bile, on strip of paper which rolls
along underneath. When we say this, of
course we do not mean that the words
are printed in letters. The keyboard
appears to be divided into three parts,
of eight keys each. The left side, work
ed by the four fingers of the left hand,
prints signs which represent initial con.
sonants; the right, worked by the fin
gers of the right hand, prints final con.
sonants; and the middle, acted on by the
two thumbs, prints the medium vowels.
We gathered something like n phonetic
system of what is employed A few
months practice is sure to enable any
operator to follow the most fluent speak
er with ease. We ought to say that M.
Gensoul's syetem renders it unnec .ssary
to transcribe the copy. Just as Ith the
phonetic system, if legibly written, the
compositor can set up the speech in COM
mon type. from the printed slip furnish
ed by the machine.

Important 10 Farmers and Deaaers- In

'as-&.5-- Prodnco.
The iollowingin regard to The: :iisbiii.
ties Of persons buying OF selling ffuit,
vegetables. and other agricultural Bro
ducts, with respect % special tax as pro
duce brokers, dealers or peddlers, was
addressed to Assessor Belcher, Of Au-
gusta, Ga,, several weeks since, but has
never been generally published. Assess
or Belcher submitted the following eues-
tion:
'Under the head OF peddler the law
provides that parties travelling on foot
and selling fruits and vegetables shall not
be taxable. Will this rule apply to re-
tail dealer, who sells fruits and vegeta-
bles exclusively (not of his own raising)
from store or stand in excess Of 81, 900
per annum; or when he sells say $500
other goods, and over $500 fruits and ve-
getables; or will the parties be taxable in
either case?"
''Aoting Commissioner Douglass an
swered that the persons exempted ped
ding fruits and vegetables were those
first, when the fruits and vegetables are
the products of their own farms or gar
dens; and second, when travelling on foot.
A person who travels with one or more
horses or mules, peddling vegetables not
the product of his own farm or garden.
is liable as peddler.
Every person other than one having
paid the special tax as a commercial
broker, or cattle broker, or pedler, or
wholesale or retail dealer, (which is held
to include wholesale and retail LIQUOR
dealers, whose occupation it is to buy or
sell agricultural or farm products, and
whose annual sales do not exceed SIC, 900,
is produce broker. 1t is not necessary
that he should sell to the amount Of
81, 900 per annum, to make him liable to
special tax. If it is his occupation, or
any part of his occupation, to keep agri-
cultural or farm products, or to sell them
in any other way than by peddling them
in the manner above stated, he should be
taxed as produce broker, without re-
however large, and also without regard
to the amount of his sales, not exceed
ing $4,000, unless he has actually paid
special tax rs commercial broker, cattle
broker, wholesale or retail dealer, (in-
Guiding liquor dealer,) or pedler.
''It is inferred from your letter that
you do not regard n man who sells pro-
ducts from q store or stand liable ns n
produce broker unless his annual sales
amount to over 81 ZOO. This is incor-
rect. A man may be liable as n pro-
duce broker even though he makes no
sales at all, but makes purchases only.
1t will be noticed that produce brokers
are not among those whose liability to
special tax depends upon whether their
annual business exceeds 81, 900 or not.

bles from q store or stand is liable as q

PAnCE OF CoTToN. The decline of cot
ton from s35 cents down, is a cause of
grievance, In 1867, cotton went from
a. cents in July to 121S cents in Decem-
Der. The remnant of the same crop
went 70 2s and 80 cents, the following
April. In 1868. the market opened at
% cents, and in fifteen days went down
to 20, and good deal sold for less. The
Columbus (Ga.) San advises Southern
planters. after meeting their obligations,
to,hold their crop at 80 cents, though it
expects to see q fall in the New York
market to "a cents.

DEAD VS.. LIVE Issues. s.-The New
York Erpress gives some valuable in
struction to the Democracy on dead
issues. It declares that while many of
Jefferson's measures have become obso-
lete, his cardinal principles still live.
Having buried the dead, our. contempo-
rary gives the following summary of
what it regards as the main questions
that should now occupy the public atten-
ton. ''But what are live issues" it
says, ''are the inequality of the taxes,
the severity of the taxes-the unwisdom
OF the tax legislation, their oppressive,
injurious character, the destruction they
have already created to our commerce,
and the damage they have inflicted upon
our manufacturing interest, in shutting
il out from the markets of the world. {"
These are things which really concern
the people, and to which they desire
legislators to turn their attention. The
Express tenders to the Democracy this
significant advice: ''The fact is" says
that paper, eve are full of ipe issues, of
great importance to the country, and the
quicker we drop all dead ones the better
There is no use in trying to race with
dead horses Whom things die, bury
them, though never, never, never bury
great principles, for in them there is
eternal resurrection" True to the letter.

e We have received from gentleman at
Pomaria, 8. O., the following communi-
cation. dated September "a, 1869. The
friends of the Rev. Mr.. Boinest, so well
and favorably known as the energetic
President of the Newberry Immigration
Society, will learn with pain of the loss
he has sustained, and the sympathy of
his friends will be the stronger if, as our
correspondent suggests, his loss was the
result of some illwill, engendered against
him because of his patriotic efforts to in
troduce Immigrants into the State. The
following is the communication referred
to: 4.

made for purse of SIS; and, greatly to
the surprise of her friends, when the
match came of, she won it. This great
ly shamed Flynn and his friends, so Miss
Kate was challenged to another contest,
for 5000 side, some days after. The
affair attracted quite crowd to witness
the sport. not less than 400 people being
present.
Kate made her appearance, dressed in
flowing red flannel drawers, q la bloom

Flynn was dressed nearly in the same
manner. The arrangements being all
completed, the exercises began, Flynn
leading off with leap of 10 feet inches.
Katie then took her position, cheered on
by her friends, and made the leap, clear
ing distance of 10 feet AZ inches.
This created great excitement in the
crowd, and nerved up Kate for some
thing better. The second loap was called
for. when Flynn cleared 10 feet inches.
This was very long jump, and the Flynn
party felt greatly encouraged. But Katie
was again introduced, her friends cheer
ing, and feeling confident that she would
beat. Carefully she placed her little
gaiter-boots on the line, and straining
every muscle in her well-knit frame,
made the leap, clearing 10 feet 931 inch
es. This was too much for her competi-
tor, and amid the plaudits of the whole
company, Katie retired with her purse
of $400. aIa

THp VERDICT Of the Coroper's jury in
the case of Mrs. MILFORD who was found
dead with her throat cut on Tuesday
last at Clear Greek, was given last
night. 1t reads: i" Death by hands of
person or persons unknown to the jury
The evidence before the jury during the
last three days has been taken in writ
ing and is very full, complete and vol
luminous. We propose to print the
most important testimony in the APPEAL
tomorrow, provided we can get it.
That the case was murder most foul the
evidence seems to substantiate but
whether for the possession of money,
the qualification of revenge, or for what
cause and by whom, yet remains a mys
terry. To repeat the various opinions
in relation to the affair not based upon
the testimony taken would doubtless be
unjust to individuals. aad at least in
one instance reflect upon class of per-
