Specie Payments.

In view of the stupendous finan-
cial failures in the North, and al
most throughout the world, by the
suspension of the banking houses
of Jay Cook & Co., of New York
and Philadelphia, involving in their
fall many other public and private
banking and business houses, the
conundrum which has SO long Puz-
zled the brain of the finaneiers,
both State and national, as to the
time "when specie payments shall
be resumed" seems to be postpOn-
ed indefinitely. There was a time
when the public had an idea that
the present generation would see
political and financial honesty SO
far restored as to see the resump-
ton of specie payments by the
Banks and the Government. That
is one of the delusions of the past.
Few men have any real money, and
it wont be many years until all
knowledge that there is any mon
ey but "promises to pay" extant.-
Already the sight ola silver dollar
would be good for sore eyes.

Glad TO See Him.


Maj. W. J. Sykes paid Us a visit on
Wednesday. he was just from Hen
deTson county, where he has been
agitating the Narrow Gauge Railroad
question. The Mai says that in ad-
dition to the Henderson Station and
Paris, Bolivar and Knoxville, and
Jackson and Teunessee River Rail
reads. that Lo intends to build through
Henderson, "a road from Lexington 10
Perryville, another from Lexington 10
Clifton, and several others from Lex
ington somewhere, devil a bit does
he care where" We don't know ex-
actly whether to attribute the Majors
narIow-gauge wisdom and enthusi-
asm to the consumption of Hender-
son county chickens or Henderson
county whiskey. Well be hanged if
he hasn't been eating something that
he wern't used to. Wonder if he
knows whether or not his charters
are constitutional? However, the
kind of roads the Major builds don't
need charters.

ALCoRN AND AMEs.

By such n majority as we hope
viii prove decisive, the democracy
of Mississippi, the other day, in
convention assembled at Meridian,
resolved that they would nominate
no State ticket for the fall election,
but leave Aleorn an open field and
a fair fight with Ames, the radical
candidate, for Governor. Whatever
else may be said Of Aleorn, he is a
gentleman, a man Of talents, and
personally honest and honorable
Tke Avalance thus notices the con
test:
AIeorn and Amcs are Republ-
cans. Both sustain the Fedcra
y Administra ion. Both are Rcpub-
.Ican candidates for Governor, both
stand on Republican Plstiorus.-
The former would not make o1s-
other alliance il he coE,l; the la,t.r
could not If be would. They le
the only candidates for whom ,re
people can vote without absolutely
throwing their votes away. Ames
represents the worst elements OF
his party in Mississippi. Mentally
and morally he is unfit for the high
office 70 which he aspires. Alc0ra
possesses ability and the hi hes-
personal integrity. Ills bitterest
enemies-and he has only polite
ones-wiil bear testimony TO a.
this; and 10 one Of them w!l! hesi-
tate 10 endorse the assertion tha,
the election of Alcorn will signal
ize the smashing of corrupt rings
and the end TO wastetul eXpendi-
ture and general maEaGministra-
tion.
The people of Mississippi are not
interested in the fate Of any poli,i-
cal party. They are interested on
ly in securing Il wise, econOmica',
honest management of their pubic
affairs, and in preserving fricId.y
personal and political relations be-
tween the two races whose inter
ests are identical, but between
whom designing politicians-whits
and black, Republican and social
ed Democratic-have wrought dis
astrous alienation.
AS between Alcorn and Ames It
is not difficult to choose. Tho cleo
ton of the latter means a perma-
nent blow to the prosperity Of the
State. The election of the former
means a death blow to corruption,
whatever the shape in which il pre-
sents itself.
Not as Democrats, not as Con-
servatives, but as patriots looking
to the welfare of their State, and
determined never again to turn
their faces TO the past, the people
of Mississippi should unite, ire
specuve of color or past political
creeds, and elect the only man who
can now save their State from ruiz.
And if they should fail Of complete
success this fall, let there be no
or recriminations; no
eounselling of a retrogade move
ment, but grand rally, and anoth-
or push forward.

The Jay Cooke Smash.

The suspension of the extensive
banking houses of Jay Cooke, in
New York and Philadelphia, last
week, created no little excitement
in the monetary and commercial
world; but it is followed by a calm
which surprises the country. The
disaster is one, we trust, only per-
sonal to the parties, and if that is
so, but little harm to the public
will result from it. OF course, a
mid the crash and wreck of stupen.
dous fortunes the losers will retain
enough of this worlds gear to keep
them in comfort, if not in luxury,
the remainder of their days. In
these last days great rogues and lit.
tie rogues get things "wbile they
can"-before their credit becomes
so impaired they cannot get any
thing, and they live in spIendor
and luxury, while their honest cred
itors are left to mourn over a mis-
placed confidence. But such is life.

that ex-President johnson, of this

TIE dispatches bring rumor that
ex-President johnson is q loser by the
FIRST National Bank at Washington, to
the extent of sixty thousand dollars,
which, if true, it is believed would
leave him penniless. Irrespective of
political friends or enemies, such a
misfortune would be universally re-
gretted, and the sympathy for Mr..
Johnson would not be confined to Ten
ressee. He is now advanced in years
and, while not an invalid, has not en-
jOyed continued good health for sew
eral years past, and just now hardly
recovered from a dangerous attack of
sickness, contracted during the recent
epidemic in East Tennessee. Mr..
johnson, we believe, is now in Wash
ington. We sincerely trust the dis
patch concerning this loss may turn
out to be without foundation.-Ban-

Lingers around her waist,
You squeeze her dimple hand
Her pouting lips you taste;
