Hon. G.. C.. Shackleford.

The press Of Mississippi, as well
as all parties having business in the
Courts of the State, as well as the
members of the Bar lie body, owe
Judge Shackleford, of the Yazoo and
Madison Judicial District, an EN-
phatic compliment for an example
OF firmneSs and justice shown by him
in an order made at the late term of
the YazOO Circuit Court. 1t has
ever been the rule in this State, die
tated from sense of justice to all
parties, to permit the parties inter
ested i'll cases requiring the publica-
ton of notice OF notices in a news
paper, to designate, through their
attorneys, the paper in which they
wish to make publication. This rule
has ever been observed in this State,
and has afforded satisfaction to all
interested parties, aside from the
very important fact that it is the only
rule in the matter that is legitimate
ly applicable. and for this reason
the parties interested in a case re
quiring publication know best
what particular paper has the circu-
lation best calculated to reach the
object desired and being thus inter
ested, they are very apt to select the
right one.
About the time that Judge Shackle-
ford's Court commenced its session,
ne,c paper made its appearance in
Yazoo City-a paper claiming espe-
cially to run in the interest of the
negro, in opposition tothe Banner and
the Democrat, old established and
highly respectable papers, each with
legitimate and large circulation.
Judge Shackleford was immediate
ly called upon by the publisher of
the new paper to order all legal pub
LEGATIONS from his Court into the new
paper, and because of his politics be-
ing identical with those Of Gen.
Ames, from whom the Judge receiv-
ed his appointment! To his honor
be it said, Judge Shackleford imme-
diately made the following order:
IT IS ORDERED BY THE COURT,
That in all cases arising in vacation
in the Circuit and Chancery Courts
of this county, and all proceedings
had in each of said Courts, in which
notice by publication in any news
paper may be required or authorized
by law, the same shall be ordered
and made in such paper as the At
torney may direct and elect, having
view to such paper as may be most
likely to effect the notice intended
and having general circulation

The Yerger Case.

A dispatch from Washington, I'M
der date of July 10Th, says:
Judge Chase has ordered a hear
ing for an application for habeas
corpus in the Yerger case now un-
der trial in Mississippi by Military
Commission for killing Col. Crane,
at IL O'clock Wednesday. Chase has
ordered notice Of the hearing to be
served upon the Attorney General.
Judge Chase, it appears, has no dis
erection in the matter. The first point
argued will be jurisdiction; that de
cidcd ailirmatiVely, the merits of the
Military Commission will be argued,
because the Judge will not grant
habeas corpus unless facts alleged
in petition should enable him to dis
charge the prisoner; i'll other words,
Judge Chase will not have the pris-
oner brought from Mississippi only
to rccommit him to the custody Of Il
Il Commission. In this branch of the
hearing the recent opinion of lloar,
in favor of the ease comes up for re
view, and adjudication; and deci-
sion of the conStitutionality of part
of the reconstruction acts that au-
thorizes military trials in the present
condition OF the country will be
given.
WASHINGTON, July 14.-Ldtcr-
The Yerger habeaS corpus argument
lasted four hours. IIoar strongly
combatted Chase's jurisdiction. AT
the close of the hearing Chase said
lac would inform the counsel when
he had digested 4he arguments.

Judge Dent for Governor.

A dispatch from Washington, dat
ed Sth inst, says:
Maj. WOtford, of Mississippi,
[now in Washington, received a dis
patch from jackson, signed by one
of the Judges of the High Court of
Errors and Appeals, Jeffordsl Sec
rotary of State, Warner Judge of
the Criminal Court of Vicksburg,
[Speedl; L. s. District Attorney,
AdamsI; T. c. Murphy, and other
prominent citizens, saying the Ma
tional Union Republican party,
backed by the popular sentiment of
Mississippi, will support Judge Louis
Dent for Governor-his election is a
certainty; will he accept? Major
Wotford was to-day authorized by
Judge Dent to say he would accept"
Judge Dent was formerly citizen
of California. He there married a
daughter Of A. C. Baine, Esq, as
late as 1851 prominent Wing of
this county, and often a speaker at
our old-fashioned Union-W meet
ings here in Raymond. Since the
war, Judge Dent removed to Missis-
sippi, and has been engaged in plant
ing in one Of the river counties. On
the Inauguration of Gen. Grant,
(who happens to be a brother-in law
of Judge Dent,) the President invit-
ed Dent and his family to the White
House, where they have continued
to this time. 1t is said that it was
Dent and his wife that spoke out for
the poor white people of Mississippi
last spring, when the despicable men
composing the committees of 5 and
16 were in Washington, and nearly
successful in forging the chains that
were to bind us hand and foot. Dent
and his wife went to Grant and the
Cabinet and exposed the rascalities
of Eggleston and his body guard
represented them in their true colors
and insisted that the white people
of Mississippi should not have their
necks placed under the heels of such
a low flung robber crowd. They pre-
vailed with Grant-Grant prevailed
with the. Cabinet-and Grant and
the Cabinet prevailed with Congress
and now Dent will prevail with
the people of Mississippi!
We are not advised as to Judge
Dents antecedents on Whiggery and
Democracy, but we are willing to go
for him on the faith thst we have
that Baine would never have con-
scented for a daughter of his to marry
Democrat. But, should it so turn
out after the election that Dent is a
Democrat, our vote may be counted
for Mrs. Dent, for we are confident
she's Whig.-Rdymond Gazette.

say they do not expect or desire it.
Then, what is to keep us from being
an unit ? Nothing but for them to
let strangers alone, and come with
us. We will do more for them po-
litically and in charity than they
will ever do, and we challenge them
to the conflict. Only let them unite
with us and we will have one of the
best countries under the sun. If we
prosper, they are certain to prosper
too. See how we all tlourished last
year, when they laid aside the fool
iSh notions so prevalent among them
since the surrender, and went faith
fully and honestly at work. Only
let them trust their true friends, and
they will not betray them.

OUR NATIONAL RULERS,
Grant Turning the Government Over.
The Boutwell, Movement for Preside t.


Special to tina Cincinnati Commercial
WASHINGTON, July Ga promi-
iEent national politician, who figured
extensively, about a year ago, as
Chase man, is here, working upon
Mr.. Boutwell, for the Presidency. II
an interview with your correspond
ent, he related some facts about the
success of the movement, so far. He
says, shortly after Mr.. Boutwell, be-
came Secretary of the Treasury, a
| plan was formed, and the machinery
| put in motion to make him the next
President of the United States. The
organization is now complete and in
full working order.
While Mr.. Boutwell, was attending
the Peace Jubilee in Boston, some of
the papers in Massachusetts spoke
out plainly upon the subject. The
most prominent players in this great
political game, such as Mr.. Tullock,
Appointment Clerk in the Treasury
Department, thought the public de,
monstration by the press in Massa-
chusetts was premature, and silence
was commendable.
1t was generally understood that
President Grant has turned over the
administration of the Government to
his Cabinet, and that he takesHittle
or no interest in what is going on.
His influence with his Cabinet MiG-
listers is daily becoming less, while
their power over him is daily becom-
ing stronger. If Gen. Grant is now
a candidate for reelection, he very
soon will not be one. His influence
and his mantle will quietly and gent
ly fall upon Mr.. Boutwell,, whose
wise and statesmanlike administra-
ton of the Treasury has given entire
satisfaction to all the solid moneyed
men of the country.
Mr.. Tullock, the engineer-in- chief
in this extensive political enterprise,
is a great organizer, and every ap-
pointmeDt which he makes has this
end in view. from the messenger to
the collector. Mr.. De,anO, Commits
siOner of Internal Revenue, is his
Lieutenant General, and moves with
unerring Judgment to accomplish the
result Mr.. Boutwell, has taken time
by the forelock, and in this he is
right, as it renders his success more
certain. His friends are confident,
and we'll they may be, with his ac-
tive, keen, watchfnl and untiring
officials located in every few miles
square throughout the country, with
full power to control the Presidcn-
tial nominating convention. Nothing
but some unlocked for disaster can
prevent his becoming the next Pres
ident. His friends are increasing
daily, and will soon be as thick as
autumnal leaves. Mr.. Boutwell, and
his friends are elated at the indiffer-
ence of General Grant, and of the
certainty of having his aid and pow
erful cooperation, knowing, as they
do. that any rivalry in the Admins
tration for the succession, will GER
tainly make it failure, if not a to-
-tal wreck.

E-V We hear that Gen. Ames goes
to Washington this week. We hope
the report is true, and that General
Grant will find a new field of opera
tons for him. We have no use for
Gen. Ames in Mississippi; here, as
in Virginia, patriotism will prove
stronger than fanaticism, and the
puny voice of hatred and prOscrip-
ton will receive 10 more attention
than the laugh of baby at the BOs-
ton peace jubilee. The AmesItes
