Greeley ar Grapt

The contest for the Presidential
succession Is between Horace Gree
ley and L. ) Grant. Every citizen
must have a preference for the one
or the other. 1t is the duty Of ev-
I cry citizen to give expression TO hls
I preference. The campaign which is
just opening IS essentially the
/ peoples campaign. The politicians
have had the management Of public
affairs a great deal too long al
ready. 1t is high time that people
asserted their authority.
The choice between Greeley and
Grant is one that no citizen can be
at loss about making. They are
antipOdes 70 each other IS are the
the policy and principles they rep
resent. He who refuses to take DO
sition either with one side or the
other must he as dead to politics as
the Cardiff Giant or an Egyptian
mummy. Grant represents a posi-
tive and defined policy, and Greeley.
If elected President, is committed to
carry out policy and principles no
less defined, and which are in thor
ough antagonism to Grants.
OF course there are a great many
people who do not approve Of Grant
that would rather have some body
else than Horace Greeley to oppose
him. But il IS too late 10 consid-
er that now. Greeley has been nom
mated aud nominated by two con
ventions- If We cant get what We
want we must take what we can get.
Greeley is the only alternate against
Grant. II he is not the next Presi-
dent Of the United States Grant is
sure to be. We cannot believe that
many people viii stay away from
Z the polls under such circumstances.
Those who refuse to vote at all, if
any such there shall be, will virtual
. ~ supporting Grant. An such
should understand that the world
viii consider them as virtually sup
porting Grant. We do not suppose
that many persons viii try to act
the part Of political hermaphrodites
. but all such as do so must ucccssa-
rily be classcd among the opponents
Of Greeley and Brown. He that is
iot for us Il against US. There can
be no middle ground. There can
he no such thing Is compromise OF
neutrality.
4 square issue has been made by
the conventions presenting the res
pcctivc candidates. Gee. Grant's
administration is his record. II
reelected he proposes to continue
/ in the course he has pursued during
the past four years. What that
course has been everybody knows.
/ Nepotism. corruption, usurpatiOn
and Capitalization arc the striking
+ features OF the present administra-
ton. Greeley proposes honest adj
/ miuistration and the restoration OF
the Government TO its constitution.
al basis. lie is for local self-gov
eminent, and against consolidation.
Grant hypoeritically said some
time ago, let us have peace, and
Greeley is really FOR peace and the
perfect fraternity and equality 81
/ the people OF all the States and OF
every section. In such a contest
everybody must take one side or
the other.
We do not expect the man who
desires the continuation of the
Grant domination to vote with as.
We uO not desire that anybody who
prefers Grant shall bc baked of the
opportunity. What we do desire Is
+ that all that take position on one
side OF the other shall 10 it under
standiugly.-COur Jour.

Mississippi Central roads,by 1l5 miles Of
new roads from Humboldt to Cairo. The
Illinois Central, we believe, is to indorse
the bonds Of Mr.. McComb, and the sale
of these is to furnish the money for the
work, and will also build the bridge across
the river at Cairo.
AS is we'll known, the transfer of
freight at Cairo is by boat to Columbus,
and thence down the Mobile and Ohio road
to Humboldt. To give New Orleans an
independent through connection with the
Illinois Central, the river Is to be bridged
at Cairo and new road built to Hum
boldt. The whole is to be completed in
twelve months.
THE jackson road intends to imme-
diatcly extend its track to the elevator,
along the river front, and has purchased
for depot the Reading Cotton Press, at u
cost of 100000.
awe understand that as soon 10 this
connection is made the Blue Line cars will
be put on the road for the transportation
of grain in bulk from this city to all parts
of the Southwest.
This through line TO Chicago will be
of great advantage to our city, and enable
us to get more liberal supplies of produce

THE WETAUG MURDER.
PARTICULARS OF THE COLD.
FLOODED AFFAIR.
A LIFE TAKEN FOR TWELVE
DOLLARS AND A.HALF.
ARREST AND CONFESSION OF THE
MURDERERS.

Since writing the brief notice of the
murder which was committed near We
taug lately wo have received from Chief
Myers the particulars Of the affair.
On the morning of the day on which the
murder was committed, four men got in 10
wagon at Ullin with the intention of
passing over tho country to Pope county.
Inc names OF the three who took part in
the tragedy were Dodd, the victim, a res
identof McCracken county, Kentucky, and
Bagley and Shufeberry, residents of Pope
county, in this state. The name of the
other member of the party, and who was
the driver of the team, we did not learn.
After the wagon had proceeded few
miles Baglcy and Shullloberry, who evi.
IDENTIFY believed Dodd had money on his
person, induced their victim to get out
with them and walk. Before the travel.
ers reached Wetaug, Bagley and Shuttle
berry managed to quarrel with Dodd and
assaulted him, when he ran away from
them. Arriving Mt Wetaug, he made in.
qures for an officer, saying that he
needed protection. While he was making
this statement to a citizen, Bagley and
Shufileberry approached when he ran as
fast as lie could up the track of the rail :
road. Just then the wagon came up and
one of the murdcrers got into it, while the
other pursued Dodd up the track. Seeing
one of his pursucrs in n wagon, and fear
ing that he might be "hended off," Dodd.
after running about mile turned and
sought to retrace his steps; but was met
by one of his pursuers and while he was
seeking to elude him, the other assassin
attacked him. He was soon disposed Of.
The murderers then placed the body on
the track, and deeamped but curiosity
brought one of them to the scene Of the
murder, whore he witnessed the locomo-
tive run over tho body of his victim. He
then coolly boarded the train, where he
was arrested, and gave information which
led to the arrest of his companion in guilt
The miscreants are now in the Jail OF I'm.
ion county, but will doubtless escape un.
whipped Of justice. Murderers Away:
do in Egypt The lawyers have pecu.
liar gift which enables them by twist oil
the wrist to postpone trials, change the
venue, convince juries, and in other way:
that are dark and by tricks that are vain
bring every blood-stained wretch from un.
der the galows, and send him on his way
rejoicing to slay again. And, as matter
of course, Bagley and Shufflcberry will
not be the exception to this rule. A mild
dose of penitentiary is all we can in OUT
widest expectations, predict for them.

WHARFBOATS.
ARE THEY BENEFIcENT INSTITUTIONS OR
ARE THEY NoT?-THE QUESTION THAT
TEARS TO PIECES WEAK MINDS.

ARE THEY BENEFIcEST INSTITUTIONS OR
ARE THEY NoT?-THE QUESTION THAT
TEARS TO PIECES WEAK MINDS.
The ant-wharfboat fever is beginning to
rage in certain quarters again.
ard We are constantly requested
to denounce all wharfboats as
fostering Sores" Seating cankers," "dia-
bolcal floating money extracters and bus
mess destroyers,' and so forth. But we
won't. We cant do it, you see; because
our mind is all store up" on the subject.
We are AT sea on the wharfboat question,
without rudder or compass, and with,
unfortunately, thick veil of clouds over
the north star, and no sun visible, because
it is dark. Mr.. Blank, who don't own a
wharfboat, interviews us, and pours into
our eager ear n torrent of complaining
words and leads US on by his vehement
denunciation and eloquent defamation
until we become frenzied against all
wharfboats and wharfboat men, and
rise up with the mental war cry of give
us no wharfboats or give us DEATH and
resolve to sacrifice Phillips and the Halli-
day Brothers on the altar of the city's
weal-to plung into their sides metaphor
acal daggers and thus solve the wharf
boat problem. But when we reach the
presence of the wharfboat men-when,
particularly we rush upon the senior of
the Halliday Brothers, and casually
remark that wharfboats are vanlties, we
are presently dsarmed by arguments we
at once admit TO DO unans werable, and
before the interview has terminated we
are ready to swear that the world would
have been in desperate condition, rivers
useless and commerce impossible if the
happy idea of wharfboats had not entered
the philanthropic brain of some kind
hearted benefactor of the human race.
And we continue in this mind
until some wronged individual recites to
us the fearful story Of his woes, when our
mind again becomes delapidated. Hence,
we have arrived at the conclusion that we
and that the men who want the wharf
boats abused must abuse them themselves.
This we do know, that wharfboats have
never done us any harm-have handled
our freight at price which certainly did
not pay them for their trouble, although
it was the regular price--thc same price
paid by all citizens, and have always for
warded for us very promptly, and been
exceedingly polite when we gave them an
opportunity tospeak to us at all. So, gentle
men, you must 60 in on your Own respon-
sibility. We can't do your abusing for
YOU. We don't understand the question.
