Therefore in the discharge of my duties,
and observing the solemn obligations
/ have assumed. / can reach no other conclG-
sion than that Messrs. Morgan, Gibbs, b.
bolt, Campbell and Bowles are not members
OF this body. nor are they entitled to vote
/ on their own or each others case, or any
I question before the Senate, but their status
/ must be first fixed by the other members of
! this body. 1t would be a sad commentary
! upon the times to say that men who have no
legal title to an office in legislative body
can. by sharp practice OF parliam entary
tactics, pass or defeat measures OF the great
est magnitude TO the country. Ii would be
quite as plausible to say, that two persons
committing a high crime must 90 unpun-
ished because the policy of the law would
not allow them to sever for fear both would
be convicted. Ny decision is based, as |
think. upon principle and sound reason
and If appealed from, the appeal must be
determined by those Senators having an
uuquestioned right upon this floor. Mr..
Morgan said on Friday, in his argument
iii the people of my county want me as
Senator and Chancery Clerk at the same
time, who has a right TO ohject!" This
principle must be Endorsed and established |
or rejected. In my judgment such a doc /
trine i subversive of every principle of our I
State Governmental violation of adjudica- |
ted cases in several courts of the State aud /

jectons having formerly been made to any /
participation by MessrS. Morgan, Gibbs, /
\ bboJt. Cam pbell, and BOwles in the pro-
-eedings ofthe Senate until their status is
tiXed--the objections are sustained. The
Chair viii further assert that it is the high
constitutional prerogaJiye and paramount
iuty ofthe Senate to determine who are its
mem oers before proceeding to other bust
ness.
The President decided the substitute of
Mr.. Duncan for the resolution of Mr.. Steele
vas before the Senate.
Pending consideration. Mr.. Campbell
moved to adjourn until o'clock. Carried.

Pretty and Ugly Women.

No woman can truthfully say that she
does not care whether she is pretty or not
Every woman does care. The immutable
laws of her being have made physical at
tractiveness as much a natural glory to
her as strength is to a man.
Here l may be told that what I am
saying is superfous, for perfect beauty
has no need of art to enhance it, and that
those who have been born with hard-or
worse, with perfectly uninteresting
lures, do not want to be told that physi-
cal attractiveness is indispensable to
them. But it is especially to the plain
and to the generally ill-favored that | ad-
dress these words of advice and warning,
and should Beauty's self find few use
full hints, see no reason why she should
not avail herself of them. know that
there are people who look well anywhere
and anyhow; no vulgarity, no careless
ness of speech, dress, or attitude seems
able to disenchant them; but these rare
ly-gifted persons are but the exceptions
that prove the rule; and even in their
case what Sir Philip Sidney spake is true !;
he says there is that In well-chosen sur
roundings
(which does even beauty beautify,
And most bewitch the captived eye;'
and Herrick, too, in his "Poetry of
Dress, seems to have had an astute APP
probation of how beauty may be beauti-
fed. These men lived in the sixteenth
century, time when color in dress was

A Change of Fashion.

The October openings" as they are
called, are now taking place in New York,
and all sensible people will be glad to
learn that picturesque simplicity" is
the highest rule. Furbelows and paniers
have vanished, and the scanty plain robe
cIings to the lovely figure just about as
close as it ought to. The mass of dead
women's hair is gone from the shapely
head. The long cramped feet are at last
free to rest their corns and bunions In
needless broad soled beds of ease. Even
displays of costly embroidery or jewelry
are forbidden. I'm short" says an emf
nent fashionable authority, ''the true wo-
man of ton will will endeavor this fall, by
the grace and simplicity of her attire, to
show that her husband has neither robbed
bank nor been the leader of q ring.

Sderation. Since our adjournment yester-
day, | have examined with more than orffi-
nary care the judicial opinions bearipg
directly upon the main question now before
the Senate, and | am irresistably forced To
the conclusion that the several justices have
eXpounded the law correctly, that is that
one person cannot at the same time hold
two offices that are incompatible with each
other, and that the acceptance of the latter
Is a vacation of the former. ANY other
doctrine would be in direct antagonism to
the Constitution and Laws of our State, as
well rs to our whole theory of Government
l apprehend that the question of one per-
SON holding two offices at the same time in
Mississippi, Invested of all political com pill
cations ard individual interests, would be
considered by all well-informed men as
simply mOnstrous Yet this is the question
that you are called upon to determine and

In support of all these demands, the

ton, all the votes of the Senators and
Representatives from the Southern States.
As a class, the persons represent

are in favor of the largest distribution of
the largest possible amount of plumber,
so long as their section receives any por-
ton thereof. Matters have not yet pro-
gressed far enough at the South to pro-
duce statesmen or men of principle. The
carpet-baggers on the one hand, and those
who want to make the Union repair the
ravages of the War on the other, will
unite and support any scheme, or any
number of schemes, to deplete the Treas
ury. Nor will the lobby that will have
these things in charge be Southern one
