DEAR SIR-We are
happy to see that your citizens are
taking such active measures to honor
our noble dead on the 29th inst. Many
of our soldiers rest in private burying
grounds all over the country. Allow
us to suggest that the friends of those
loved ones who cannot be with you,
see that the graves of those thus buried
be honored by strewing them with fiow-
ers on that (99th J day.
Please insert in your next two issues

ES~,We suppose there will be nc
serious objection in this county to Mr..
Jones's nomination as the floating mem
ber; but we shall probably have can
didate of our own for the regular posi-
ton, and as the Lawrence delegation
two years ago, accorded the nomina-
ton TO us, and would, had they been
able to get here, have voted for our can
didste, we shall expect them this fall
to see to it, that we are not again de-
prived of our just rights.--Neigs Co.
Telegraph. 90 -e 5-l aG
1t is beyond our ken to observe the
distinction the Telegraph makes be-
tween the two Senators we are to elect
next fall. We should like to see the
process by which Mr.. Jones is to be
made the ''floating member" or any
body else the regular" one. The law
makes no such distinction. Both SEN
ators are TO represent the whole dis
trict. Neither is to be different from
the other in name, title, privileges or
duties. Regarding your expectations,
it is probable that the Lawrence dele
CATION will come up to them, but it
must not be understood that our dele
gates will attend the convention
clothed with any other s'rights'' than
to do as they please. We are only GER
tain ofone thing, and thatis, if Meigs
does not present as good man as is
named by any other county, no sup
port will come from this direction

THE YERGER CASE.


The Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore Sun say:
Attorney General Hoar, In conversation
with friend regarding the Yerger case, a
few days since, complained bitterly that the
Republican press of the country does not
seem TO appreciate the situation In its true
light. He explained that the next question
would be upon the issue of the writ Of Ha-
heas Corpus, which would be followed by a
delay occasioned by an argument on the
questions Involved on the points of the re-
turn made to the writ and after that the
government might act In a manner calcuIa-
ted to effect further delay. IL Is evident
therefore from this statement. as well as
other circumstances, that the administr alton
has agreed TO do everything in their power
70 defer hnal action by the Supreme Court
relative to the reconstruction acts until after
the admission of Mississippi and Texas Is
an accomplished fact.
A special to the New Orleans Picayune
says:
Radical Congressman are outspoken In
their threats of thrusting from their path
the only remaining obstacle TO the accom-
plishment of their cherished purposes. TO
wit: the Supreme Court. They declare that
IL the delay in pronouncing the constitution
and the law In respect TO the Yerger case be
OF sufficient period they will rush a bill
through Congress deprivinQ the Court of
jurisdiction In all such cases. and which will
remedy the defect which made the bill In
the McCardie case imperative for the pur-
pose designed.
But we opine that the Supreme Court
does not permit itself to be shorn of its
constitutional prerogatives by a partizan
Congress.

Able Speech OF Col. Beverly Mat
From the Columbus Index.

from the COLUMBUS index.
This gentlemen, acknowledged by all par
ties and classes to be one of our foremost
men in intellectual and oratorical power,
delivered mastery address TO q fine audi
ence at the Court House, Thursday night
Col. Matthews first examined the claim that
the Radicals had to the sutfrages of the col
ored people upon the score OF having freed
them. Answering irrefutably the argu-
ment that the Radicals were entitled to the
gratitude of the freedmen, and showing that
the boot was on the wrong leg; that Lincoln
declared that it was not the purpose of the
war to interfere with the question; that his
Secretary OF. State reiterated it to the courts
of Europe; that his Congress reasserted it
in a formal enactment: that his Generals,
Mcclellan and Buell., announced IL I'm gem
eral orders. Proved by the law, that loyal
men were paid for their slaves in 1864, and
that Ben. Butler declared that the emanci-
patton proclamation was issued as a militia
ry necessity when the North was invaded
and when they expected that the slaves
would rise, assert their freedom, and force
the Confederate armies to disband and re-
turn TO their homes 10 protect their firesldee
from this Ito them) unexpected attack.
He proved that at any time, IN TO the sur
render, the South could have had terms
granted them, upon accepting gradual eman-
clpation with pay for slaves, but that she
rejected all offers to bribe them into terms
upon these conditions, and no man was base
enough to agree to anything short of liber-
ty or subjugation save James l.. Alcorn,
who wanted to swindle foreign powers and
the poor negro, by accepting mediation and
violating It's terms.
He passed from this to the 14th Amend
ment and showed that while Gen. Alcorn
abused US for not accepting it, had we done
so the right of the negro TO vote would have
been forfeited; our action again working
tor the negro's good.
He next ventilated the Loyal League and
we think convinced his hearers that mem
ber of 1t was enslaved in mind and unwor-
thy of the ballot.

UNION CHURCH, Miss, Nov. q 1859.
Editor Cldrion:-We have been regaled
with the vaporings of scallswags and carpet
baggers on two occasions of late, but it is
my pleasure to record their utter defeat at
their own hands. for they completely '.kili-
ed themselves off," Saturday the 16th ult..
was announced as gala day for the Rabid
RAIDS; 'eminent speakers from abroad" etcs
etc., ''were expected to be present." The
day came and with it came ex-Pdrson Mill
saps. A stand had been previously prepar-
ed, to which the ex-parson proceeded. No
other eminent ~ speakers being present
ne attempted to ''say piece" to about sew
enty-6ve colored men who were present,
mostly from the two plantations of the ex-
parson. After laboring through o weak ef-
fusion of perhaps an hours duration he re-
tired amid vociferous silence. Joe Buie,
(white) late the village blacksmith, then
took the stand and endorsed what his pre-
decessor had said. The days doings" was
appropriately closed with a free fight
amongst the Radical darkies.
Last Saturday, S0th ult, it was again an
nounced by the same clan that IS eminent
speakers would address the people, and Jim.
Lynch, the carpet-bag negro from Pennsyl-
vania. was indicated as one OF the speakers.
Quite crowd of both white and colored
congregated. more from curiosity to see this
sable demagogue than otherwise. The coli
ored people had expressed desire on the
day previous, to have a champion of the
Conservatives meet Lynch that they might
hear the issues of the canvass understand
ingly. There being no speaker easy of
access, and the time too short to pro-
cure one from distance, so the idea was
abandoned, however, nothing was lost
Lynch arrived on Saturday but was very
much fatigued, ESQ we are charitable enough
to grant, for his eyes looked heavy. and it
was with difficulty that he could stand erect.
A physician present offered his services to
revive the dropping spirits of the sanity
Elder, and conducted him to an apothecary
shop near at hand when large black bottle
containing liquid extract of corn was
brought forth and freely imbibed by the
weary traveller who soon became talkatiye
and said hard things about the ex-parson.
Lynch had no confidence In him, and would
not trust him, and invited him to take voy-
age TO a climate much warmer than the
coming winter promises to be, (tolerably
strong language for Presiding Elder and
an aspirant for Secretary Of State.) MILL
saps indicated his intention TO adhere TO
the RAIDS, but would oppose Lynch.
We are making arrangements to have q
Conservative meeting at an early day which
will be indicated hereafter, and we viii be
pleased to welcome some of the gifted cham
pions OF the Conservative cause. Send us
two or three good speakers, aud we'll give q
good account at the election. s@s
