HRBROH's NURsRRY.-We have
taken some pleasure In reading one
Of the catalogues of DIR. John L.
HebrOn's excellent nursery, located
some fourteen miles from town.
II Is truly gratifying TO know that
care, industry and intelligent enter
prise have combined TO place in
successful operation anursery that
affordsa splendid selection of fruit
trees. We could not help but won
der at the many fine varieties of
fruit which his catalogue Shows.
The introduction to his catalogue
rightly says, "these nurseries con-
tain varieties as numerous and So
leet as can be obtained at any nur-
sery In the Southwest. For health,
vlgor and fine roots, they challenge
comparison and in size they are, at
least unsurpassed. In apples,
peaches and pears VIC can furnish
Varieties ripening in succession
through tie whole season." We
nope our farming community will
gIve more attention to fruit grow
inE, and they should not fail TO
avail themselves Of the advantages
offered By the Unsurpassed nurse.

TIE Washington correspondent
Of the New York World, says the
two.thirds vote so much valued
by the Radicals in Congress is mot
likely to be lost this season, and
will be carefully maintained, Be.
fore the elections were held in
Mississippi and Texas, or even in
in Virginia, enough Of the seats
Of the Democratic members were
contested and sent to the Commit.
Zee OF Elections to make it easy
to fix up the old majority. The
elections held in three newly re-
constructed States will not alter
the proportion, and it is not be
lieyed Georgia will be allowed to
changeit. The value of this two.
thirds majority to Republicans is
not to overcome a veto, but to
suspend rules, stiile the freedom
Of debate, and rush bills through
without q proper examination.
On financial issues, however, this
two.thirds vote will be of no use
owing to Republican divisions.

those entitled to the franking

with it are yet stronger reasons.
1t is impossible for these twenty.
seven thousand postmasters to
know the signatures of the privil-
eyed. The result is "boundless
frauds, without a possibility Of
detecting them, or even q hope of
preventing their further increase.
In fact, every frank, counterfeit
or genuine, is equally effective,
and the extent of the evil is limit
ed only by the wants of those
who desire to impose upon the
service" The secretary demands
that the government pay its own
postage, and that the officials be
supplied with stamps therefor. 1t
is doubtful, however, whether
Congress will adopt the recon-
mendation. 1t is very convenient
for these thirty thousand officials
to employ the mails for their own
purposes, aud besides, our finan-
ces are so we'll managed under
the Grant administration that it is
not important to save q little mat

towards the project. Not only
the right Of way will be given but
thousands of acres Of land and
thousands Of dollars will be sub
scribed for stock in the road.
Major MacNlickin Of Madison,
Wash. Gibbs, Esq, a wealthy and
influential lawyer and planter of
Of Yazoo and Judge Cowan Of
this county will make it their spe
cial business to solicit sub
scriptions Of land and money and
right of way for the road as
soon as the survey is completed.
We are satisfied that the cities
of Vicksburg, Canton, Kosciusko
and Aberdeen, with the aid of the
appropriation which will probably
be made by the Legislature and
subscriptions of stock by private
individuals, will raise funds suHl.
cient to grade and cross-tie the
road and the iron and rolling
stock can then be easily obtained
upon a first mortgage from CAPT
talists in the North Of in Europe.
The road, according TO the pres
ent survey, will cross Big Black

located through the fertile and
productive valley Of that river,
which can be bridged in that vi.
with such facility as to
make the road accessible to those
on the Eastern as well as
Inc Western side of the river.
The thanks of the whole com.
are due Captain Searles
