MUNICIPAL COURT.-Thc court had very
fair run of business yesterday, mostly of the
drunken sort: Patrick Cotton appealed from a
sentence TO pay $40 and costs for keeping
liquor, and the case of VIM Waugh, for assault
and battery was continued. The cases for
drunkenness numbered nine, and included Mi.
chael Welch, John Newton Thomas Cawery,
George Headrick, Cornelius Lyons, Morris Mel
ligan Thomas Ryan, Charles L. Upham and
Michael Coffee. Headrick, Lyons and Ryan
were unable to pay their fines and went to jail.
Upham's case was continued. The others paid
fines, with the exception of Coffee, the grounds
for whose complaint did not warrant severer
punishment than an order by the Judge to pay
the costs of court. This he was unable to do;
and they will have more Coffee at the county
Jail until Nchael's costs have been peggcd out
in the county shue-shop.

Mr.. THRALEs HOTEL IN MoBILE.-A CORE.
spondent of the New York Express travelling in

tiers to the discussion of southern hotels. He
says:-"ro find good hotel in the south is
rather the exception than the rule. In my con-
sderahy extended experience, | can note only
three tirsi-class hotels in this section. First, of
course stands the magnificent and perfectly
managed H. |. Kimball house, at Atlanta, Ga.
Next in my list must come the old and always
reputable St. Charles, at New Orleans. Next
comes the Battle house. of Mobile. which, al
though oflate has been classed as passe. changed
hands on the LIST inst, and is now under the skill
full proprietorship of George Thrall, Esq, whose
reputation both north and south as gentleman
who knows how to keep a hotel, is second to
none other. Arriving here at the commence
ment of the season, and 50 recently, he has had
little time for reformation as yeti but the uni
versa verdict of the permanent guest is great
progress" already Before another year passes
lie will have this house, not only in general con.
veniencc and elegance, as it is now in comfort
and cuisine, a first-class hotel in every particu-

March of Events-Extract
of hfs Speech:

Ihope, Mr.. President, we will not dis
guse this question, for approach it from
whichever direction you may. its object is
plain. and any attempt at disguise, only
serls darker hue to the color of the effort.
1t las always been charged by our political
opponents that our policy was revolutions
ry and our measures innovations. Who,
ask, Mr.. President are now the revolution
ist2 Here is a law which until recently has
deemed an essential one and appears in ev-
cry statute book of the county. 1t must
now be repealed, and why? / will tell you
why, Sir. The Senator from the Sth dis
trict is my informant. You propose, sir,
to repeal all laws regulatingthe licensing of
hotels, inns and taverns, for the avowed rea-
son that by this means and by this means on
W. can you keep the Senator who sits at your
side, elected by the same votes that elected
you, from room in the hotel in which you
may yourself be a ledger. In other words,
you propose to forestall any action he may
see fit to take to assert his manhood and
his rights to his recognition as one of the
people by the sert ofclass legislation pro-
posed by this motion.
But, sir, am of the opinion that the
effort viii lecon upon the heads of the
friends OF the measure. As to its accom-
plishment of the object sought have no
fears. As well might you vote that the pro-
gress of the aye was an illusion. You can
not stay the onward march of events. The
persons (the darkies) you propose to legis-
late out of hotels on account of their color,
sit at your side in tia Hall of the Legisla-
ture. They will never obtrude themselves
upon you, beware how you obtrude upon
them. They will never precipitate a war
if races. But, sir, if you continue to inn
pose upon them, Governors, Senators and
judges who, after accepting their votes, re-
fuse to allow them q seat in railroad car,
which shall be full equivalent for its pur-
chase money, as yours shall be, or refuse
them the right to shelter from the storms, or
food for their sustenance on the same
grounds that the laws accord these things to
you, then, sir. should there be conflict of
parties, history win be simply repeating it
self.

speech Of Morgan, the mongrel leader in

In speaking of the Meridian Riot and
the course the Mongrels in the Legisla-
ture viii take upon it, the Vicksburg
Evening News says;
1T is inconsistent for US toexpect party
TO condemn its own actions; but we may
expect it to lay the blame upon the Demo-
Gratis engaged in the protection OF the peo-
pie and property of Meridian; and in fact,
it has very able corps 10 carry out its
scheme, with Leachman, CASTLE and Strir-
ger at its head"
We would call the attention Of the
News to the fact that Mr. Castles is a
Democrat in politics, and one of the pu-
rest men in the State.
BY reference to the records it will find
that his vote has always been cast upon
the side of right and justice, and for the
interest of the people.
The above extract has been copied for
the purpose of showing the News that it
was done (unintentionally we feel assured
Mr.. Castles great wrong, but while We
are upon the subject justice also requires
us to say that Mr.. Leaehman's action in
approving and sustaining the recent APP
pointments by Gov. Acorn to the offices
of Meridian is very cmmendable. Mr..
Leachman has beer found hitherto in
very bad company he is now showing a
disposition to leave it and should be en-
couraged and not repulsed. Should he
however, prefer to remain, he may ex-
pect, like Dog Tray, to suffer the conse-
ouences

Yesterday the Senate passed a joint
resolution by vote Of l6 to Is providing
for an election of L. S. Senator on
Tuesday next. The House acted upon
the resolution to-day and adopted it by
a vote of 4s for, to 80 against.
1t does not necessarily follow, however,
that the election viii take place. Section
p, Article ~. Of the Constitution pro-
vides that every order, resolution or
"vote to which the concurrence of both
''Houses may be necessary Except on
Questions of adjournmenD shall be
presented to the Governor, and, before
cit shall take effect, be approved by
chin; or being disapproved, shall be
''repassed by two-thirds Of both Houses
according to the rules of limitation pre-
"scribed in all cases of bill. f"
BY this it will be seen that Governor
Alcorn has the election in his own hands
He can veto the resolution for the reason
that James L. Alcorn has already been
elected to the Senatorship and therefore
there is no vacancy. Should he veto il,
the veto will be sustained, and no cleo
ton can take place unless it be done in
direct violation Of the Constitution. Let
the Governor veto the resolution and send
the great moguls of loyalty back to their
roosts to remain until the scent of anoth-
er untitled fat Office gathers them like
crows around carcass.
