A MEETING was recently held in
Washington, which nominated that
particular favorite of the South, Ben.
f. Butler, for the presidency. The
Republican Philadelphia Inquirer
thinks we are likely to have "a silent
candidate and a most lively cam
paign." When his record is fully
shown up, it will certainly be some
what variegated, as well as blear and
black. He voted some fifty times at
charleston for jefferson Davis, for
President, and Of all the members of
the Convention, went as far as those
who went farthest for southern rights,
even to secession. Yet, true to his
instinct for profit, he turned early to
the strong side, when the secession
theory involved danger. And he
sacrificed himself promptly for his
country, so soon as it offered him a
b%omb-proof position and good pay.
His Dutch Gap work of engineering
would have rendered him immortal
if the James river had not e~nviously
washed it away. 1t was on the James
that he was =" bottled up" He blew
up the water near Fort Fisher, and
got hoisted by his own powder ship.
He followed Farragut into New Or
leans, and there, in safety, executed a
on pretense of treason, and ex-

ONE Of the ablest Of New York
papers thus expatiates on the course
the Administration has pursued in
regard to the obnoxious income tax.
The editor warns Congress mot to
attempt to continue this tax by a pro-
ceeding that will lead inevitably to
litigation. People will not pay this
tax under d~eclaratory resolutions, ex-
cepting under protest, and the result
will be that the whole amount of it
for the year 1870 will be involved in
suits brought to recover it back. The
people have been led to suppose, and
do suppose, that their incomes after
1869 would be free from this oppres-
sive and unconstitutional exactiOn,
which is a direct tax if there ever was
one. They wish to know whether
Congress means to keep in good faith
the pledge which it has repeatedly
given"

WE are in receipt of the Holly
Springs (Miss.) Star, a weekly Of large
size, the first number of which was
issued Saturday-Wm. NJ. Compton,
Esq, editor, and n. G. Gill d Co.,
proprietors. The typographical exc
cution is excellent, and the editorial
columns display decided ability. Its
political position is what we should
denOmfnate moderate Republican,
since the editor declares to both races
mo inroad shall be made upon any of
rights that shall not merit the most
vigorous opposition at our hands"
With that we can have no quarrel,
however much we might have prefer
red to see the talents of a genial and
worthy gentleman engaged in sup
porting principles which the Demo-
cratic party alone represents in this
country. We wish the publishers pc
cuniary success.

By the decision of the Supreme
Court, contracts made before the pas
sage of the legal tender act, eight
years ago, must be paid in coin, in
cases where there was no understand
ing to the contrary. But most of them,
and such as are not under seal, will be
barred by the statutes of limitation
or have been paid off, and, while many
creditors will have taken and debt
Ors paid too little, there will be no
remedy. How contracts are to be
affected which were made after the
act was passed does not appear from
the decision. 1t is doubted whether
Congress can make a paper
currency legal tender under
the Constitution, and although
the opinion of The Court seems to rec
ognize a war necessary as sufficient
the point not being directly decided,
the issue may come up in future, and
such a construction be overruled on
the hraring and adjudication of a di-

is entertained, and only that negative
injury is contemplated to result from
the diversion of the whole trade Of
the west from Memphis to Helena,
and such as may arise from the con-
c~entration of the wealth of Mississip-
pi at some point on the river, within
the borders of that commonwealth.
In view of these facts, General Forrest
may rest assured that this city and
county will assent to any exaction he
NAV reasonably impose.

THE people of Corinth, with Won
derful public spirit and illustrating a
degree of intelligence not often devel-
oped in Southern communities, have
begun the construction of a magnif-
cent cotton mill in the very midst of
the historical city. The building will
stand near the Scrugg's House just
west of the Mobile and Ohio road. 1t
will give employment to every i'm
poverished widow and orphan girl in
the city, and prove the best school OF
morals and industry ever established.
Most cities have chain gangs and
Houses of Correction. Corinth, wiser
than these, organizes a school in
which lessons Of honest toll and
mechanical skill are ~inculcated.
Evils and misdeeds that are else
where punished, in Corinth will
be prevented. Corinth will now
begin a new life. This one
will beget a multitude Of kindred
manufactures. The progress and
greatness of the city finds its true basis
of growth in this cotton mill and they
who build it, if it never return a dol
lar, are the truest of their country's
benefactors.

SPECIAL NOTICES.

The Season and its Dangsrs.---The hu-
man body is chiefly composed Of tissues and
fbres as sensitive to every change in the o n
dition OF the atmosphere as the most deli
cate eleetrometer, or the quicksilver in a ba-
rometer tube.
The stomach, the skin, the nerves, the lungs,
and the excretOry organs are especially liza
BILE to be affected by these variations, and the
best defense against their disastrous tendency
is to keep the digestive machinery, which
feeds and nourishes the whole system, in good
working order.
If the stomach is weak or disordered
neither the blood nor the bile can be in a
healthy state, and upon the fitness of these
two important fluids tor the offices assigned
to them by nature, and the regularity OF their
flow, health in a great measure depends.
When the air is heavily laden with chilling
vapors, as it often is at this season Of the year,
the digestion should be an object OF peculiar
care. If it is weak and languid, the whole
physical structure Will be enervated.
II it is vigorous, the entire organiza-
ton will be strong to resist the untoward
and depressing influence OF a damp and Vi
tiated atmosphere.
A pure and powerful tonic Is therefore es-
pecially needed as a safeguard against the
diseases most common in the spring, and
HOstetters stomach Bltters being the most
wholesome and potent medicine OF the class
at present known, a course Of IL is particu-
larry advisable at this period of the year.
The stomach Will thereby be toned and
strengthened, the liver and bowels regulated,
the nervous system braced up, and nature
put in a state OF active defense against the
Iaiasma whicn superinduces Intermittent
and remittent feYers, rheumatisms, nervous
debility, headache, h~ypochOndria and other
complaints which are apt TO assail the un-
toned and unfoTtihed organizations. The
body is strengthened without exciting tne
brain, and consequently no rnPieasant reac-
ton follows ts FeFlFlne and ~rehoyating ope-

THE Holly Springs Star answers the
question whether an armed militia is
to be organized, and whether they are
to have in Mississippi "a repetition of
the history of Arkansas" by saying
''that depends ON circumstances" 1t
adds that if lawlessnes5 prevails, and
of Ulcers Of the law shall be unable to
preserve the peace, 'the militia wiU
come" This is right enough on its
face, but it has the air Of athreat, and
is better calculated to provoke than to
prevent difficulty. We regard the an
|nOuncement as s~emi-oficial, and with
the appreciation of General AlcOrn.
Was it not enough for a Governor to
announce that he intended to exc
cute the laws without fail, by
the civil officers with their
posses first, and by military force, if
that should be necessary? The alIus-
ion to Arkansas indicates that the
militia will come under the same
circumstances, and precisely as in
Tennessee. Does not Governor Al
corn know that there was never a
moment in either State, since the
war, when the civil officers were not
able to arrest every offender whom
either they or a military force could
find? Is it not always true that GRIM
inals escape justice? And was it not
equally true in Arkansas and Tennes-
see that they escaped the militia as
easily as they did the civil officers,
while new crimes We're actually null
tiplied in every direction and
innocent persons made to suffer? The
only circumstances in which military
force can.be necessary or justifable,
are such, not wherein crimes are COM
mitted, but in which the body of the
people resist or refuse to aid in the
execution of the law. The Star says
General Alcorn "would regret to use
force in any emergency" If, then, q
few become outlaws, and commit
murders, robberies and rapes, in spite
of all which can be done to prevent
it, and in defence of themselves and
their families instances occur of citi-
zens rising to suppress or punish these
crimes, does General Alcorn mean to
punish the citizens by pouring armed
soldiery upon the innocent and guilty
alike, rather than put down the dis
turbances by requiring the civil Off
GERS to suppress outlawry itself, as
they will be found always ready to do
in every county of Mississippi? Let
him try mild means first, authorizing
and requiring Sheriffs to execute the
law. If he does, there will be no oc-
casion for calling out the militia to
reproduce the scenes and outrages and
calamities of Arkansas on the inno-
cent as well as the guilty of Missis-
sippi,

THE resignation of Mr.. GOlladay,
Of Kentucky, because charged with
the sale of an appointment to the
Military Academy at West Point,
was not, as stated by the Philadel-
phia North mericaH because he feared
conviction, but rather the Radical
jury Congress- which was to try him.
GOlladay's expulsion he being a Dem
ocrat, was necessary to Offset the dis
grace that had befallen Radicalism in
the knavery Of WhittemOre, Deweese
and other carpet-baggers from the
South, whose gross criminality is I'M
questioned. Golladay never received
money for his appointment; and his
only offense was in selecting an ap-
pOintee who resided out of the dis
trict-which was illegal. His sacrifice
was a partisan necessity. He will be
reelected to Congress.

NORTHERN newspapers and even a
st. Louis circular are giving currency
to the statement that the North and
West will soon plant an immense corn
crop, that it willnQt be worth 40 cents
next fail, that bacon and bread
throughout the West will be unusual
ly cheap, and therefore the South
should plant only cotton and sugar,
and suffer the generous, kindly dispos-
ed people of the West to furnish US
bacon and bread. Rarely have we re-
posed implicit confidence In the gen.
crosby and u~nselishness of individu-
ais that we were not betrayed, and
least Of all can a community be trust
ed when no individual member may
be responsible for the crimes of the
whole. Therefore, the adage, "cor-
porations have no souls" Communi-
ties and States are hardly better, and
if the West End next fall and
winter that the deluded South
has produced less bacon and bread
than they may consume, rings will
be organized in Cincinnati, st.
Louis and Chicago, food will
become a monopoly, and to
the South it will be doled out in the
smallest quantities at the highest pos
sible price we can be forced to pay.
Southern people fought for political
independence, and, overwhelmed by
wealth and numbers, are now sought
to be made commercial serfs and
bOndsmen Of grain growers of the hog
and hOminy States. Verify we prefer
that freedom in domestic life which
abs0lves US from dependence upon the
grain fields Of the northwest. In the
South cereals flourish as luxuriantly
as on the plains of Illinois, and, cot
ton, fieecy and bright, enables
the South to enrich America
and clOthe and civilize the
human race. If we choose to develop
our wealth in both directions, pro-
ducing both food and clothing, we
will surely have both practical free
dom and abundant gold. a vast cot
ton crop brings US little if any more
money than a small one, and to save
labor and money, both to individuals
and the community, it will be well to
make somewhat less cotton and re-
main independent Of corn and bacon
spectators, and of the Vaccinations
of Western rings.
