CHARLES SUMNER, having been a
little weak in the upper story since
he made the acquaintance of Brooks,
Of South Carolina, some years ago.
some of his friends have been con-
cerned of late lest he should go quite
crazy from having nothing to do now
that the Fifteenth Commandment has
been issued. Buttheir apprehensions
have been relieved by his turning his
attention to cattle, and introducing a
bill for their protection on railway
trains, without any provision, how
ever, for giving them the franchise.
There is a host Of suffering white OBJ
eratives in his State; but attention to
''pOOr white trash" is not likely to
receive a sufficient share of his atten-
ton TO save him from lunacy when
the cattle play out. !

Editors Appeal. When the convention
to select candidates for the late State con-
v~ention met, they very properly proceed
ed to select men for the place, and then
inquired of them whether they would ac-
cept the position.
That was eminently wise and proper
In view Of the dignity and high RESPONSE
bility of the office. Is the Office of judge
or chancellor of less importance. or
deserving Of less respect? There
are gentlemen well qualified to fill
these places who will not submit to be
presented before a convention " with hat
In hand" and say, [" gentlemen, 1 am in
your hands" but who, nevertheless,
would accept and save the party from a
second Waterloo defeat if nominated
and called upon to run. Let the " judicial
ermine :" then be treated with the same
delicacy Of consideration and respect
that marked the selection of candidates
for the State convention.
1t is a high respect due the Office and
will reflect credit upon both the eonven-
tion n nominee. If a different course
is pursued it viii exclude some of our best
material and lead to disastrous defeat.
CITIZEN.
No men should be selected by the
Convention who would not be above
presenting themselves ewith hat in
hand" before it as beggars for an Of
fee. We want men whom the office
should seek, rather than men who
seek the Office. But we do not see
that it should be any disparagement
to the claims Of a gentleman to be
known as having consented to serve,
or even to have been an avowed IAN
didate before the Convention nomi-
nation. 1t has been the common,
and has been regarded as a reputable
custom, for gentlemen of the highest
character and qualifications to pre-
sent themselves as candidates before
the people. What reason exists why
any suitable man should be rejected
for being a candidate before the Con-
vention any more than for being a
candidate before the people?

WE understand that it is in con.
temptation by the Mississippi Legis.
lature to make a ten-strike for social
equality, by requiring the admission
of negro students into the Mississippi
University at Oxford. If that should
be done, the result would be, not what
the Legislature intended, but rather
the conversion of the University into
a negro school, pure and simple.
SambO and Dinah may go in. But
we rather think DIR. Waddel and his
white pupils will go out and set up an
Independent institution for them
selves. We understand that v e the
Mississippi Secretary of State, in his
Fifteenth Amendment speech here.
had the good sense to denounce all
efforts ofthis description, and said
that social equality would come, if it
ever did so, by the unconstrained will
Of the people. We hope the Legisla-
ture will take a lesson from him and
quit all that " fOolishness.U

THE Democratic party Of Shelby
county is strong. If united on good
candidates, its strength is too great to
be resisted. But that strength. as in
all cases Of parties or organizations,
depends much on the prudence and
wisdom Of its exercise. Unreasoning
imprudence, recklessness, and the ap-
~plication of force in popular elections,
is the most certain and shortest road
to defeat. Hence it is that as q friend

THE old system of giving eight dol
lars a day compensation to members
of Congress was changed to high sal
aries under the impression that it
would have the effect to shorten the
sessions. But it has had no such
effect. The compensation from lobby
lists and brides are too abundant and
the harvest too great to allow of an
adjournment. The longer the sessions
the greater the harvest. 1t is not ex-
pected at Washington that the men,
bers will go home much before the
end of their terms. a large share of
the carpet baggers are in by fraud;
and why should they not carry out
the system and make the most of it?

THE Ledger insists that we havt
misunderstood its language in con
STRUNG it as intending that the Con
vention about to be held is not to b.
political in its character. The follow,
ing is the language it used on Thurs.
day:
The Convention which is to meet is DC
political Convention; it viii be a Judicial
Convention. 1t does not meetto select poIt-
ticiaRs as candidates for political office. II
is to.meet as a Judicial Convention, to Sc
lect suitable men from the bar of Shelby
to be First and Second C~hanceilors and
Law and Criminal Judges for the Law
and Criminal Courts.
That is what was said; and we have
no other way to understand what is
meant except by what is said. The
Convention is to be a Judicial Conven-
if it is to be anything, and politics are
no way concerned in IL. That Demo-
Gratis will be nominated we bave no
doubt. And that they ought to be we
do not hesitate to say, because there
are no suitably quail fed men in the
Radical party. Whether the support
we give to principles will be weak
or strong will depend somewhat on
their value, and to party, on the wis
dom with which it is conducted. As
the minds the measure of the
man." so the elephant, or even the
bull, may be the measure of strength.
The Ledger is self-announced as the
organ of the Democracy of this
county," The field is clear. To the
position of organ-grinder the APPEAL
does not in the least aspire. The
game is not worth the candle.

Therefore say to each man, GAS
far as you can-partly for excellence
in your special mental calling, prin-
cipally for completion Of your end in
existence-strive while improving
your one talent, to enrich your whole
capital as Man. 1t is in this way that
you escape from that wretched narrow
mindedness, which is the charaeteris-
tic of every one who cultiyates his
specially alone"
In science, read, by preference, the
newest works; in literature, the
Oldest. The classic literature is al
ways modern. New books revive and
redecOrOte old ideas; old books sug-
gests and inVigOrates new ideas.
1t is a great preservation to high
standard in taste and achievement to
take every year some one great book
IS an especial study, not only to be
read, but to be cOnned, studied, brood
ed over; to go into the country with
it, travel with it, be deyOtedly faith
full to it, be without any other book
for the time compel yourself thus to
read it again and again. Who can be
dull enough to pass long days in the
NAOcEs A4AlAAAuA AAAECANOGAoG
with some transcendent mind, and
not feel the benefit of it when he re-
turns to the common world?
But, whatever standard of mental
excellence you thus form in your study
Of the Excellent, never, if you wish
to be wise, let your standard makeyOu
intolerant to any other defects but
your own. The surest sign of wisdom
is charity; and the best charity is that
which never SYSTEMATICALLY parades
itself as charity. For your idea of
man as he ought 70 be, always look
upward; but to judge Alright man as
he is, never affect to stOop. Look
your fellOw-men straight in the face.
Learn all you possibly can; and when
you have learned that all, repeat it,
you will never converse with any man
of sound brain who does not know
something worth knowing better
than yourself.-BCLwER.

How to Do 4 Thriving Business,

There is a good deal of talk in Phila-
delphia among the brokers, about q
certain fast young NAH whose father
is overburdened with millions. The
young man would not worR, and the
old man could not bear an idler, and
many were the quarrels between them.
At last the old man, quite out of pa
tience, said:
"NOW, Jack, give you one week
to make up your mind to what busi-
ness you are TO go in. No son of mine
shall be q loungOr, and go to work you
shall. At the end of this week, if you
have no choice, 1 will stop your al
lowance altogether, and make you
take q stool in my Office, and work
enough you'll have of it there"
Jack promised to look around and
make up his mind. At the end of
the week, sharp and peremptory as
was his way, the older broker sang
out:
"Well, Jack, times up; have you
made up your mind to make your own
"Well, father I've been thinking OF
1t, and have something in my mind,
but it will require considerable capt.
tai"
Capital, Jack; capital, my boy,
said the delighted father. "Only try
to make your own living, and will
buy you a national bank or line of
steamers. What is it, Jack? What
is it ?''
"Well, father, 1 was thinking that
if you would only advance me three
or four hundred thousand dollars L
could invest it in government bonds,
and make my living by cutting off
the couponsp
The old man never talks to Jack
any more about business.
