Our friend, Mr.. K. Barksdale, OF THE
CLARION, in his laudable effort, last year,
TO get reliable labor for the State, brought
with his large number OF immigrants. an
individal who has since turned politician.
He aspires to be Sheriff OF Holmes county.
His chances, too, are very good. He is en-
phatically and unequivocally "mournful
fact" but let the truth be told,-it Is said of
him (Jordan) by the best citizens of Lex
ington, that there is no harm ia him,-that
he is jolly, good natured, inoffensive fell
low, aud perhaps would make as good a
Sheriff as the people Of that county will
likely get.-Corinth News.
Really, we think this statement is in
correct and that "Jordan is sailing
under false colors. We do not remem-
Der to have ever been imposed upon by
any one of that name or who answers to the
above description. But if we are in
error, we beg thousand pardons of the
people of Holmes county. We have
reason to feel especially kind towards
them, and if we have been the innocent
cause of inficting upon them so great a
curse as genuine "Mournful Fact" we
shall hardly know how to make proper
amends.

FACTS FROM THE RECORD.
From pages % snd % of the proceed
ings of : the so-called Constitutional
CBlack-and-T an) Convention of 1S68--we
quote as follows;
The following resolution was offered by
Mr.. Mygatt:
20 the Congressional Com mittee for present
ing a valuable volume. being "A Manual of
the several Constitutions of the different
State and their amendments.
Mr.. Townsend offered the following as a
substitutes:
whereas, As this Convention has been
presented by the Union Republican Party,
through its Executive Committee, with a
copy of the New York Constitutional
Manual containing the Constitutions OF the
thirty seven States OF this Union, as they
now exist for the information anu guidance
of this body; and
Whereas. in the Constitutions of all but
six of the States rs therein given, the word
WHITE il contained as qualification
for electors under their Constitutions and
Whereas, In three of the remaining six
States both an educational and property
qualification is required OF electors under
their Constitutions; Therefore, be it
Resolved, That thts Convention gratefully
accept the said volume from the said party
and indulges the hope that the delegates
to this body, in adopting Constitution TO r
the people of the State of Mississippi, WILL
ON THE SUBJECT OF SUFFRAGE. M
TATE THE EXAMPLE OF NINE
TENNIS OF THE STATES OF THIS
UNION.
And be it further resolved, That the
President of this Convention be requested
To transmit copy OF these resolutions
signed by himself and Secretary, TO the
Executive Committee OF the Republican
Which, on motion of Mr.. CASTILLO, was
laid OH the table.
ON this motion the vote was as fol-
lows:
Ayes-Alderson and sc others.
Nays-W. NJ. COMPTON and 10
others.
A vote in the negative, or against
laying on the table, was vote for the
resolutions declaring that the Constitu-
ton should exclude negroes from the
ballot-box. With this record staring
him in the face how presume the Ku
Klux editor of the Leader to talk about
other people being in favor of ga White
Mans Government? If he has ever
changed front, it was not until he was
installed in the Lunatic Asylum.

CHEsAPEAKE AND OHIO.

The annual meeting Of the stock
holders of the Chesapeake and Ohio
railroad was held in the city o! Rich
mond last Thursday. The President
reports that such is the progress of the
work on the only division OF the road
now remaining for completion that the
entire work will probably be done and
the cars running regularly between
Richmond and the Ohio river at
Huntington during the present fiscal
wear. We extract the following par
agraph from the report,
"At the last session Of the Legis,
lature of the State Of Virginia, a
charter was granted to this company
authorizing it to construct a branch
line from its main track at some point
not east of Charlottesville to the
Potomac river. The importance of
this branch line, as furnishing the
most direct route from the city OF
Washington and points north, to a
large portion of Virginia and West
Virginia and points west and south,
is well understood by your President
and Directors, and the subject is having
their attention"

will give employment to about five hun
dred men in addition to those now here
and will distribute through the various
branches of trade in this city about
$500, 900 per year. The city taxes to be
paid by this increased population will
probably equal in the course Of few
wears the sum now assessed against
the property of the road, and will GER
tainly exceed all we have yet realized
from that source.
Possibly this work may be done by
the company without regard to whether
we release them from taxation or not.
1t may be 80 much to their interest and
convenience to enlarge their shops at
Wheeling that they will do so whether
we tax them or not. But the probabll-
ity is that unless we make the conces-
sion asked for the shops will be
located in Bellaire, where the company
is offered freedom from county and mn
nicipal taxation. ..
We have thus endeavored to present
fairly as we think, all the circumstances
that enter into the case or should influ-
ence the judgment Of our citizens in
determining what to do. 1t is for the
City Council to say whether, looking at
the subject as business men and regard
ing the business interests Of the city,
the proposition made by the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad Company should be
accepted or not.

Shocks to the System.

The first shock of winter tells tremen-
dously upon enfeebled systems. Every one
knows that in passing from a warm region
to cold one, or rice rerSa, the body requires
as protection against epidemicS, an accli-
mating medicine. All travellers and voy-
ayers admit this. 1t Is equally necessary to
acclimate the system in passing the con-
fines of one season and entering upon
another. Autumn is gone and winter is
here. Prepare the frame and the constitu-
ton to meet the change by course Of Hos
letters Stomach Bitters. This inestimable
vegetable tonic increases the staminal
strength of those who take 1t, and renders
them proof to a great extent against the
deyitalizing power ofcold and damp. These
two agents are as prolific Of disease as trop-
ical heat and animal vigor-such vigor as
this healthful and pure tonic dIffuses
through the whole organizatlon-is repel-
liant which they cannot master. A large
proportion of the colds, catarrhs, and pull
monary complaints which prevail in win
ter, might be avoided, by strengthening
and regulating the system in advance with
this invigorant and Alternative. Not that 1t
is recommended as a specific for those COM
plants, but as preventive of their causes.
On the other hand, 1t is not only prevent
I've of, but specific for the indigestion, in
testinal irregularities, malarious feverS, bill
ious attacks, and nervous affection, super
induced by chilly and damp atmosphere.

WE rubbish this morning two inter
os,;ng communications in relation to
the Pittsburgh, Wheeling and Kentucky
railroad and one concerning the road to
the Northwest. In the latter a pretty
good showing is made in favor OF the
Wheeling and Laks Erie (Hopedale)
project as compared with the proposed
connection with the Lake Shore and
Tuscarawas Valley road. The facts
cited from the census seem to indicate
that the towns and townships in ONO
through which the latter route passes
have less population to-day than they
had twenty years ago, while those on
the other route have shown their vital
i,v and thrift by their increase in popu'
ulation, Notwithstanding the decrease oil
their neighbors. The article deserves
careful perusal.
We have in our Office the specimen
Of coal referred to by Mr.. NAYLoE as
accessible by the Pittsburgh, Wheeling
and Kentucky road, and will be glad to
show it to any of our manufacturers
who feel interested in the subject.
We are happy to see that genuine
interest in railroads is being manifested
among our citizens. and trust that the
present abundance Of talk may result In
such action as will secure the compile
ton of one or more of the roads now
projected.
