This court is in session in this city,
Judge Hill presiding We are glad to
learn that there is no criminal business on
the docket, the so-called ku-klux prose
cutions having all been disposed of at the
last term. We know that a community
which has proved itself as peaceable and
law-abiding as Mississippians have done
since the war, do not need admonition to
refrain from giving substantial grounds
for any more prosecutions OF that kind.
We will 60 further, and urge them to give
no shadow of pretext for such proceeding
on the part of authorities who, judging
from the past, are but too eager to en-
gage in them.

Inasmuch as the vote of Virginia
would not have changed the Presidential
election, her 1900 majority for Grant
was Of small moment. She had no cleo
ton for State officers The extraordin-
airy result was not accomplished by an
increase Of Radical vote, but by the apa-
thy Of the Democrats, who, after the Dc
tober elections, regarded the Presidential
cor test as hopeless, and therefore stayed
at home. The vote for Grant in many
counties is far below that for Wells in
the Gubernatorial election of 1869, when
Wells was beaten by $4,000 majority
Grant loses from the vote of 1S69-in

The Fair.

The managers of the Fair cannot but
be ratified with the result. In spite Of
predictions Of failure, and the croakings
which the active managers had to contend
against, their efforts have been crowned
with success The objects on exhibition
were varied and numerous, and the
crowds were large. We are sure the
feeling of satisfaction among visitors was
general. The State Fair is a great social
and industrial institution where an-the
high and low, rich and poor-can meet,
and in meeting, enjoy themselves and in
crease their stock Of useful information
for which the means are ample.

Another Chapter In the Subsidy
Mystery.

We have to record another strange
chapter in the Railroad Subsidy business.
The public have been advised how the
Attorney General after peremptorily in
structing the Auditor not to issue the
warrants claimed by the Ripley Railroad
Company, suddenly reversed his order
How they were issued, and how immedi-
ately after the States faith had been
pledged they were dishonored by
the instructions of the same officer to the
State Treasurer not TO receive them for
the ground that they were issued in VIC
lation of the Constitution. This is curl
rious But if we are not misinformed
the affair has become still more mixed.
The report il, that the acting Governor
is buying up the said warrants with the
Agricultural School Fund donated by
Congress. The 4th section of the act of
Congress making the donation required
that the scrip should be invested in stock
SAFE stock And yet if report be
true, ne is investing the fund in warrants
which the law officer of his Administra-
ton has instructed the Treasurer not to
recognize as a legal obligation on the
ground of their uhconstitutionality.
Now, the acting Governor has either
repudiated the opinion of his legal advi-
ser, or he is oblivious of the law. If he
has confidence in the opinion of his coun-
sellor he cannot think an investment in
securities based on fraudulent paper,
safe But if he is proceeding in def
anee OF that officers Judgment, why did
he not overrule his instruction to the
State Treasurer, which as the acting
Executive, he had authority to do?
1t is a tangled skein, this Subsidy
business-all around, and the peoJ lie will
require the Legislature to institute rigid
and unravel the mystery.

Hon. j. q. Ia. Claiborne

Hon. j. F. II. Claiborne
DEAR SIR AS requested, have publish
ed your letter in regard to the reports OF
which very brief allusion was made in a
paragraph on the eve of the election. The
public will find that your reply is confess
sion. with a sugar coated ex plana:ion.
1st. 1t was stated that you were one OF
"only two men of note''-and both of them
secession Democrats with modification.
l confessed it mall the Seashore region
who were abetting the Grant Radicals ia
the late canvass. This statement is not
controverted, either by your letter, or the
results of the election.
End. 1t was stated that you had show
special delicate attentions and inequalities
to Lynch, the colored Radical candidate for
Congress. This you admit, but in extenua-
ton, you have plead that you have not been
less civil 10 Southern men OF the Caucasian
persuasion with whom you have been once

Congressman, in consideration of the ex-
ceeding kindness which he had done You
OF first seeing the light in your own ina
tive city," and withal of being well man
pered darky. OF course You have right to
choose your own bed-fellows in your re-
treat on the Seashore. There is no disput-
ing about taste. Whether the delicate at
tentions To Ly nch were simply a lively ex-
preston of gratitude for favors To come, or
purely all exhibition of thanksgiving to the
colored people for nursing you" or wait
ing" on you, or making your fortune" for
you-the public which is q pretty shrewd
detective, will judge. It certainly viii not
furnish a sufficient apology for giving 70

r sRRlBLY BEATEN six clock
last evening Young man named Moore
was terribly beaten al Daub's saloon, on
Main street, near the stone bridge.
From the many conflicting rumors in
regard to the matter we have gathered
the following: Moore had been fol-
lowed about nearly all day by two
men, whose names we conld not learn,
who had expressed their determination
to whip him. He had avoided them
not desiring to quarrel. With iriec d
named Harry Mason he went into
Daub's to rol! game Of tenpins. They
were told that no one could use the al
levs bat those belonging to the club, the
members OF which built and sustained
them. Quito this refusal DISCUSSION
grew, and one Of the men who, it is said
was present, struck Moore, who at
once returned the blow. The fight grew
general and Moore was thrice struck
on the head with a club by Henry
Daub, one report says, and by two or
three others, according 10 another. He
was also beaten about the legs and
arms, and very severely injured. The
scalp was laid open for five or six
inches. 1t WAS thoughtat first that his
skull was cracked, but this, we believe,
proved not to be the case. There are
so many stories regarding the affair
that we hardly know which 10 belize,
but the above account is the straightest
we could obtain. Mr.. Moores injuries
received the necessary surgical care.

A DESTITUTE FAMiLY-We are re-
quested to ask aid tor a destitute Danish
family living on Seventh street, East
Wheeling, between Centre aud Quincy.
They lately arrived in this country and
the men worked every day until pros
trated by sickness, since which time
their wives have worked nearly every
day until yesterday one Of the women
was taken very i'll. This leaves the
family without means Of support, and
in fact they have for several weeks
been dependent on the charities OF a
few benevolent neighbors. the women
being unable to earn enough to support
them. The city health officer, who is
attending them, says that unless moved
to more roomy quarters. where they
can get fresh air, they cannot recover.
1t is the desire of those who know the
condition Of the family, to make them
more com Portable, and to this end they
ask the aid of the charitable. Dona-
tons may be left with Rev. S. B. Bar
nitz or w. B. Simpson, Esq.
