noticed some time ago in your
paper a proposition to establish
q Racing Association, to promote
the breed of thorough bred stock,
but have not heard anything more
of it. Hope 1t is not abandoned
for a better proposition could not
have been made.

show that the Island OF JamaicS, in
years gone by never was known of
as a racing or breeding country for
thorough bred horses, but now, it
not only supplies all the other West
India islands, but occasionally it
sends horses to Europe. The great
ST. George 'GrenediCe' and Port
land are imported from the Island.
Now all that can be said TO attrib-
ute to the demand Tor the Jamaica
stock, has been from the establish
ing of regular races, three times a
year of a week, four races each day
from "A dash Of one mile to heats OF
three, which tests not only their
speed but stamina.

racing also, but depended on ia

specimen of the present admins

to the responsible Office of Mayor,
the people Of Vicksburg have but

feel disposed to let matters pass
along unnoticed but when he ap.
points All ineligible man, a stranger
TO our people and utterly ignorant
of our laws and wants, who shuts
his eyes to reason and right and
goes it blind for the dollars, we
feel it a bounden duty to preserve
the records Of such appOintees, and
to hold him up to the scorn and in
dignation of the people whose SER
want he should be if he understood
his position, but whose imperial
magistrate and chief ruler he as
sumes to be. In tho good old days

Judge from his decisions, his Court

and persecution aud for the pur'
pose Of making n little money
This opinion we CLEAN from q de-
cision promulgated by him oil yes
terday, in the case Of NJ. u. e vs.
Bates, (colored.) The evidence wal
substantially as follows:
On Sunday last q party Of ne
grOes composed Ofmen, women an(
children, had casually assembled oil
Levee street, but were in no wis
boistorous or riotous, every one IL
good humor and on good termI
with the other. But the policeman
Parker, (cOld) spied the party ant
thinking that a capital opportunit,
was afforded for him TO play tn
big Ingun heap, ordered them t
dispense. Bates asked where Ii
should go, and suggested that
was mighty funny that a ina.
couldn't stand on the streets, bu
in obedience to Parker's mandat
he left, and after having gone som
fifty yards said something to hi
associates about the tyranny Of tn
d-m negro police. Parker WI
informed of the remark and immt
diately in his own pungcnt phrasI
Ology. went for the said Bates, VIII
declined to be arrested for nothing
but Parker was game and presentC
his pistol In the face 0fthe refract'
ry Bates, who very naturally knoeI
cd II out, but the star and bate
predominated. Bates was tried Il
resisting an officer, and Webbe
by the grace Of AlcOrn, Mayor
Vicksburg, imposed a fine Of 50 al
cost, amounting in all 5000. Th
is the first intimation that We ha'
ever had that a policeman cou
assault and tyrannize over any o.
with immunity. Webber mu
think that such right is a perql
site of Office. Alas how the migh
have fallen.
