THE Grenada Sentinel publishes the
obituary of Mr.. JACKSON CLIQUE, the
name ola party recently deceased at
Jackson, Mississippi. Mr.. CLIQUE in
mis- lifetime made a huge effort to take
his own State out of the Union, and
achieved a miserable failure. More
lately he made a small attempt to take
it back. But his pony called DENT
was two small to win even at the rate
Of an ordinary carpet-bagger. And so
he came in behind time, and the car
peters distanced him. He commanded
the press in his favor to a large extent.
But all that would not do. The pen
is not mightier than the sword, except
when, in able hands, its ends are
truths. The press Mr.. CLIQUE COM
manded fell with himself before the
intuitive contempt Ofthe people for the
infirmities OF CLIQUE, pony and prin-
ciples. Such is the fate of misguided
genius. The Vieksburg Times an
nOunces that many are on the back
track, making confession for the sin Of
not putting up a straight-out Demo-
cratic ticket. We wish them much
success. The Times says:
Some of our brethren of the press,
few in numbers we are pleased to say,
are making strenuous efforts to "craw-
fish, out OF the support they gave to
the Dent movement. Poor fellows,
we are sorry for them, for what an
unpleasant occupation it must be for
them to read over their files for the
last six months.

CHARLES SUMNER has introduced
into the United States Senate a me-
mortal from a convention of Africans,
styling themselves "the labo.ing men
Of the United States" which asks
Congress to donate to then lands Of
the United States. The document
was referred to the Committee on
Public Lands. We have no objection
TO their petitioning for anything they
please. But we are not aware that
black men have any claim on the
government which white men have
not. And we do not believe in the
policy Of donations to any but disabled
persons. We have for some time been
teaching able bodied blacks to look
for beneiactiOns from the government,
and the effect has been to make them

TIE necessity for the speedy adjust
ment of difficulties that environ the
Little Rock Road is palpaple. Mem
phis, Tennessee, Arkansas, and the
whole South are interested in the i'm
mediate construction Of a shorter and
sPeeher route connecting the Eastern
and Western oceans. To retard or
prevent the immediate achievement
Of this purpose, private interests and
personal difficulties should not be suf-
fered to intervene. As private pro-
perry may be condemned and apprO-
priated TO public uses, so in reference
to this Little Rock Road; the road
should be built now, and individual
rights determined to-day or at a period
fixed by the courts of the country. II
Nj. MAEAN can secure and hold pos
session of the road, he may build it or
not, as he chOOses-pUblic interest or
no public interest. If he deem it
better TO sell out, he can then fix his
own terms, cost what it may. Mem
phis must have the road finished, and
can afford to suffer no individual in
terest TO prevent the selection of this
city as the beginning point Of the
Southern Pacific.
Since Mr.. BRINKLEY is nor
prosecuting the construction of the
road from his own personal resources,
and since, of all other citizens, he is
most interested as d stockholder and
landowner here and in Arkansas, in
the success of the enterprise into which
he surely infused p large share of vi
tality, We haveinhnitely preferred the
old company to the new, and Brink
ley's supremacy TO Mr.. MAHAN's. The
case is a plain one. Every merchant
and tradesman and property-hOlder is
deeply interested in the pending rail
road controversy; and while it may
not be the special duty Of the Chamber
Of Commerce to discuss questions in
yolved, yet it is a public matter, and
public interest, affecting the fortunes
OF the city and State, and may be as
properly considered as the merchants

TRIAL OF HOWARD A. CLEVELAND FOR THE
MURDER OF WARREN GEORGE.
BANGOR, Feb. 18.-The trial of Howard A.
Cleveland for the murder of Warren George
commenced in the Supreme Court this morn
ing. Long previous to the hour of opening the
Court the corridors and approaches to the
Court room were thronged by an anxious and
interested crowd, who were with difficulty kept
by the police from entirely blockading the
passage ways. A few minutes before O'Clock
the prisoner was brought in from the Jail by
Sheriff Wilson. He is young man, about 2S
years OF age, of small size, and at the first
glance would give one favorable impression.
A critical examination, however, reveals
small, gray, deep-set eye, and low, retreating
forehead, his moustache covering pair OF
thick sensual lips. His hair is light, and he
wears sandy moustache with no whiskers.
He walked with quick, nervous step, and
when seated in the prisoners box looked
around the room with a sharp, inquiring
glance, but manifested no particular agitation.
After the Court came in, Chief Justice Apple
ton presiding, the doors were opened and the
Court room was Immediately filed, large
part of the audience being ladies, more than
three-fourths of those desiring it were unable
to obtain admittance. The case is conducted
on the part of the government by Attorney
General w. P. Frye and O. P. Stetson, County
Attorney, and on the part of the defence by
Col. Abner Knowles and M. V. B. Piper, Esq.
The greater part of the forenoon was occupied

the counsel for the defence. A large number
of witnesses are in attendance and the case
Will probably occupy several days. W.
