PREsENT CREDIT SYSTEM.


Before the war rich men were never i'm
PEELED by the hand of necessity; they knew
nothing but good credit, and we're thus lead
into extravagance-a characteristic which
has decended to the entire people. As long
as the credit sys;em is persued-a system
detrimental both to the merchant and plant
ESQ long mus, the people of the South
suffer in consequence. Those who neither
give nor take credit are among the thriving
The Only remedy for all this is by transact
ing business etrictlv On a cash basis.
This brings me to the all-absorbing topic
politics. Politicians in Mississippi are
not different from those in other States,
they are always an anxious Get Of men, to
know Who the looming men" are. 1t Is not
strange that they should be 20, when they
know that in Mississippi a general election
occurs only once in four years, and they Who
fail now must be content to retire to their
resting place and r0uperaie for the next
race.
Thus the anxiety among them.
TIE contest az il now stands il divided be-
tween A. Ames, our present United States
Senator, Gov. Power, our Prefent incum-
bent, Attorney General J. s. Norris. Geo.
Mckee, Hon. Benjamin Gabers, Of Marehal
county, and from present indications ! would
not be surprised If my old friend and class
mate, Col. B. K. Bruce, present Sheriff Of
Bolivar county, did not become candidate.
All the above named gentlemen are men Of
ability, and either Of them would do honor
to the position. They are all good men.
The great desire for the position grows out
of the fact that Mississippi elects 4 United
States Senstor in "a, and the msn Who il
elected to the above position it is conceded
will 60 to the Senate.
There are several colored men aPpiring for
The second position on the ticket. Among
hem are Hon. Hannibal Carter, the author
Of the Civil Rights bill, which became Law
1t the last ses.icn of the legislature. Also

that Mr.. Brown could never receive his

confusion in the accounts and the minglipg
of funds. He spoke Of fraud on tie face and
on the back Of checks presented and paid
BY Clark, Gruber & 60. He was
of the opinion that Judge
Delahay conspired with the officers of the
Court TO get possession of The funds and use
them for private gain. He dwelt upon the
general looseness and apparent ch;canery in
the transactions. and cited instances where
figures had been erased and re-erared until
holes were punched through the paper. He
referred to q certain check that wss dated at
Topeka and paid in Leavenworth the day Of
its date, when there was only stage line
connecting the two cities. He dwelt at
length upon Judge Delahay's delays and

SEASIDE CAMPs.-Mr. Beecher or his
associates are discussing in the columns of the
Christian Union the mysterious processes by
which old-fashioned Western camp meetings
have been transformed into religious watering
places. The editor insists that it is mis-
nomer to call these gatherings camp meetings
any longer, and Methodists might as well make
up their minds once for all that "the camp
meeting element must decrease and the watering
place element increase. TO project red
hot camp meeting into community of weary
people seeking relaxation is an impossibiity,
and these places have fallen into d:siavor with
the professional camp meeting Evangelists. y
The editor honors the old-tashioned camp
meeting for what it has Gone, but it does not
flourish well on sandy beaches where there is
surf bathing, and its hearty amens grow
weaker among the refnements Of Martha S
Vineyard, Ocean Grove or Sea Cliff"

Prince Alfred, is the Queen second son. He
is young man of 90, and it is not known that
ne possesses any extraordinary merit beyond
that OF being the son of his mother. When he
came of age, eight years ago, Parliament gave
hun 9l5,OO0 a year, and as that was in the
days when the upper and middle classes had
entire possession of the government of thi,
country, there was no opposition TO the grant.
1t is understood that the Duke has found this
sum Insufficient to support the expenses of a
bachelor establishment He is now abont TO
marry the Grand Duchess Alexandrovna the
only daughter Of the Emperor of Russia, and
upon that marriage the Queen comes to
Parliament with an additional annuity
