Tue NEW STATE.-The New State
Executive Committee, lately in session
at Memphis, will hold another meeting
at no very distant day, issue an address
tn the people and probably call conven-
ton TO be composed of delegates from
all the counties Interested Instead Of
the movement being failure, dead or
anything of the kind, it is as full of life
as any living issue and will keep on
growing and expanding as time progress
ses. We are assured by gentleman Of
commanding influence and strict integ
rity that outside of the Press the city of
Mem his, at least the most Of her lead
ing citizens, are in favor Of the New
State. Our readers will remember that
we predicted that the Journals of mem-
phis would, sooner or later 'swng round
the circle" and do service in the good
cause, notwithstanding their terrible
onslaught upon the primary convention
held at jackson. Every day but
strengthens our belief in this regard
We started out with old Julian scott
motto inscribed upon our banner and
knowing that some Ofour best Journalists
90 off half cooked sometimes we quote it
here for their especial benefit ego slow,
think a plenty, and never miss America"
The new State movement is not dead,
neither does it sleep.

We clip the following article from
the Monthly Reporter of the Depart
ment of Agriculture for July, 1873, hop
ing that it may receive the attention it
so richly deserves:

warmth IN the above utterance.

The New York San asserts that there

of the Treasury. How did it oecur2 Is
1t mere blunder in book keeping? Has
the money been paid out properly with

The Democratic executive committee
met in jackson, Miss, on the 18th, and
adopted q resolution calling a convention
to meet at Meridian, September 18th, to
nominate a State ticket, or take such ac>
ton as may be deemed Lest. County con-
ventions are instructed to advise their
delegates. 1t is generally conceded that
Ames will be nominated by the RepubIi-
can convention.
Saturday evening last Mr. Gus Aston
was killed by his son, youth Of IA or ),
at his home near GimpvilIe in LAUDER
dale county. Reports are conflicting,
says the Brownsville Bee, bat It seems
that the father had just arrived at home
and was under the influence Of liquor
when an al creation came up between
him and his son, and the boy shot his
father dead with a pistol He was ac>
Quilted before a magistrates court the
next day.
Persons who seem to knowS"aIl about
it, say that the farmers should never
wash wool in water that contains the
least particle of lime. This constituent
combines with the STUNT, forming an in

ant effect in the process Of dyeIng.

An Illustration

The following statement of the Chicago
Times we'll illustrates one Of the diiicul~
ties in the way of extricating the country
from its present political degradation:
Mr. MoRToN S WILKINSON, once q
United States Senator and last year a
rampant Greeleyite, has reIegated him.
self to the CffieeLolders party"
Very possibly if Mr.. GREELEY had
been elected President last year this
man WILKINSON would have got some
office as a rsformer. Evidently that
was his purpose in joining the Liberal
movement
a distinguished Republican said
several years ago that the great danger
to the Republican party grew out Of
the fact that all the thieves were making
haste to join it because they believed it
was likely to remain in power for a con.
siderable time. This is a danger with
every successful party.
Until the people cease to think SO
much of party and of regular nominaN
tons, and pay more attention to the real
character of the men who aspire tc
Office, we shall continue to have corrupt
public agents.

pear sooner or later as distinct race, in
Canada they increase in numbers and
improve in condition Thousands of

sons for this pleasant and happy state of

The tribes now peaceful and civilized

them from enemies to useful friends.

CELEBRATION OF THE FOURTH.

The day of u National Anniversary
has come and gone, and with its depart
ure our history completed its 9th year.
The occasion was made one of consider
able rejoicing at Treasure City, only
married by the natural gloom occasioned
by the recent misfortune which had left
our own city a desolate waste only
a few days before. The principal street
had been beautifully decorated with ever
greens placed on either side, with wreaths
OF flowers and gay colored festoons Of
our national hues, and at an early hour
in the morning all was ready for the
procession to move. Marshal Thomas,
mounted on a splendidly caparisoned
horse, surrounded by his numerous aids
de-camp, led off, and WIS followed by the
various organizations participating in the
celebration. The main trouble in the
whole affair vas the of the
streets through which the procession
moved, and the consequent danger OF an
accident occurring from the many old
shafts and holes which line the way,
and, as our worthy District Attorney re-
marked, after having several times mar
rowly escaped with his life, it reminded
n of CULVER, of story book fame,
m%anuvering his troops on the top of a
hat. With all the disadvantages, how
ever, the turnout was highly satisfactory,
and reflected great credit on the commit
tees having the matter in hand. Pro-
verbal as the hospitality of our Treasure
City friends has always been, on this last
day they certainly excelled all previous
occasions. The exercises at the stand"
under the conduct of Fred Cole, were
generally of a patriotic character, and
were endorsed by all who heard them as
being of high order of merit. As u
correspondent in another place has
spoken of the grafton, ETC., no further
comments will be made by us. Suffice
it to say that, to the honest miners and
all residents Of Treasure we are indebted
for the most generous hospitality on this
occasion, and every one left full of salts
faction land something elsel, pronounce
ing the celebration a decided success.
