The Mobile and Western
ROad-LexingtOm i'm the Field
Against the jackson and
YaZOO City Line.

From the Advertiser.
We are going to have a rousing Railroad
meeting here on Monday week the 10Th in
slant, TO take some steps indicative of the
help we propose to give the Mobile and
Helena Railroad on condition it pass through
our county and town. The State has passed
law giving $1,000 per mile to all roads
having twenty-five miles of its line in OPP
Grafton by October, 1872. This gives us
lit, and we now mean business. The road
will be built and we cooperating with Cam
ton and Brandon, must bid solidly against
Jackson and YaZOo City. If they can only
go $350.000, we must ''see 'em and go bet
ter" Come out every body.

The Press ON the ApPOrfiOnment
Villainy.

From the Handsboro Democrat.
1t is monstrous thing, no doubt emana-
ting from the vile set at Washington. The
bill provides one Representative for the
counties of Jackson and Harrison; one for
Greene aud Wayne; one for Covingto and
Jones; one for Marion and Perry and so on,
in like manner through the entire State.
this county and Jackson together, a greater
swindle was never perpetrated upon a peO-
pie. We have the number of Inhabitants
and the requisite number of voters to entitle
Us to Representative, but the little Radi-
cal ring at Jackson who are managing the
matter positively deny or refuse to take any
notice of the facts and figures which have
been presented to them. A Radical Senator
the other day at Jackson admitted to US that
it was Radical trick to beat the opposition,
and he was bound to go for it, although he
freely admitted that il was a great outrage

Upon the death of Mr.. Samuel Dom
nell, Chancery Clerk of this county, the
Chancellor, Judge Cabaniss, by virtue of
his authority appointed Mr.. George S.
Donnell, the deputy Clerk, to fill the vacan-
cy. Gov. Alcorn also sent his name to the
Senate for confirmation but it failed to pass.
A strong effort was made to have another
man appointed, but without avail, and last
Saturday an effort was made to GUST Mr..
Donnell through the medium of the Circuit
Court. Judge Brown, however, decided
that under the law the Chancellor had
authority to fill all vacancies in the clerk s
office without the advice and consent of
either the Governor or Senate. The con-
tirmation of Mr.. Donnell in his Office meets
the wishes of the people.

TOUCHING INCIDENT. 1t is said that
while the Orphans from the Lauderdale
"Home" were at Quitman, Ca, they assisted
in decorating the soldiers graves, and in do
ing so two of the children found their faith

covery was this. How it must have flashed
on the poor little waits, and stirred the
warmest feelings of their desolated souls.
