A Home Opinion Of Gen. Beath.

That the confidence reposed in him
by the people when they elected him to
this important position was worthilv
bestowed, the high character which
the office sustains to-day, as attested
by the legal profession aid all who
are acquainted with the very satistac-
tory manner in which the duties there
of have been discharged, is the sure
guarantee. And not only have the
duties enioined by law been faithfully
performed, but the experience gained
during his term of office has enabled
Gen. Beath to discern many of the
wants Of our peculiar land system and
to suggest and secure such legislation
as will hereafter render the land in
terests more secure from the adyentur-
ers who made business Of taking out
land warrants for the purpose of max
ing money out Of the equitable own
ers.
Such is the man whom the Republi-
can party, through their convention Of
250 delegates, many of them the ablest
and best men of the State, have unan-
imously presented to the people as
their candidate for the Office Of Sec.
retary of Internal affairs, under the
new Constitution. That all who know
General Beath, his rare worth, his high
moral character, bis private life unspot-
ted, his whole official career unstained
will, we feel assured agree with us thai
this honor was well merited, while il
was thus gracefully bestowed. And VIZ
congratulate the people of this STATE

We have the authority of Mr.. Jcnks
himself for stating that he never made
use of the above language in the man
ner and form charged.-Eorest Press
This seemingly frank disavowal of
the language given above, is nothing
more nor less than a skillful evasion,
of the question, which, however, won't
avail him. Suppose one word in the
above extract is misplaced; suppose
Mr.. jerks uttered the same sentiment
with a slight change of the words !.
why "he never made use of the above
language in the manner and form
charged I" Why didn't Mr.. jerks
say, Il never made use of any such
language, nor promulgated any such
sentimentsl" Because he dare not do
it; there was too much proof to the
contrary, which could have been
brought to face him if necessary, and
disprove such assertion. Such evasion
won't answer Let Mr.. jerks dis.
avow the utteranee of such sentiments
as are contained in the above extract,
and the whole county of Jefferson
would rise up as one man to deny his
assertions. The manner and form
charged are rot of so much Importance
as the holding and expressing of such
sentiments. Election day will prove
our words true.

Instructions Received.

Sheriff, Norton has received the follow
ing communication from Gov. Dingley-
To the Sheriff of the County of Waldo
Your attention is called to 'An act relating to
the duties of Sheriffs and County Attorneys,' Il
copy of which is enclosed. AS the statute
seems to contemplate that the Executive shall
issue orders to supplement-, and if possible
strengthen the requirements of the law, it be-
comes my duty to direct that you and your
deputies faithfully and impartially discharge
the duties imposed upon you by the provisions
of this act.

The Journal relates how smooth-ap-
pearing young man called at the First Ma
tional Bank, Augusta, and desired to ex-
change hundred dollars in small bills for
a hundred-dollar note. Cashier Boothby
refused The man then went to the Granite
Bank with the same request. Cashier
johnson passed out q national bank note
of one hundred dollars The stranger
asked if he couldn't give him a hundred
dollar greenbaek, just as well as the bank
note; the cashier said the note he had
given HIM was Just as good, unless he
wanted it for special purpose Well, he
did want it for special purpose. it would
be great accommodation etc. but in the
midst of the business, and while the talk
was going on, the fellow manipulated the
previous note given into hidden corner
of his pocket, while he showed towards
the cashier the small bills, and received
the one hundred dollar greenback, thus
receiving two hundred dollars for one
hundred. Mr. johnson, discovering his
loss, caused the rascal toll be arrested,

HOLLY SPRINGS, Miss, October r.
ThIs morning, 81 Slxty-two Nile siding, an
eating-stand on the New Orleans, st. Louis
and Chicago railroad sixty-two miles north
Of Canton, Mississippi, an outrageous and un-
lawful trespass upon individual rightz was
perpetrated. Quite q number Of prominent
Radicals OF this State and Louisiana, mostly
colored, were passengers on the nOrth-bound
train that breakfasted at Sixty-Jwo Nile
siding on their way TO the Radical conven-
ton which Is assembling al Chattanooga.
Among the number may be mentioned Shadd
(negro), speaker Of the Mississippi house OF
representatives; Lynch negro, Congressman; I;
Pease, United States senator; Avery, mem Der
Of the legislature; Gibbs, State school super
intendent; Ireland (ne2ro), president Of the
AIcorn university; Compton, superintendent
Of the state asylum; Hiu negro, secretary Of
state Of Mississippi. As the passengers
dled into breakfast, they we're assigned to
their seats BY Major Raphael, the proprietor.
One or two gentlemen, In The harry attendant
on such OCCASIONS, happened to take seats at
the ladies' table; but As soon as they were In
formed Of It, they arose and went TO their al
lotted seats. HaTdly had these left the ladies'
table. when the above-named crowd OF Radi-
cal disciples gathered around it and sat down.
Msjor Raphael Immediately approached
them, and told them they were at the ladies
table, asking them, in polite terms, TO ex-
change for one equally s. good, provided near
by. Ireland (colored) threw his clenched fists
upon the table and said: We will
Eat It On this line or fight it, Just as you
please. No give way in this party" Major
2a aphsel seeing that they were determiDed TO
hold their places and carry their point, told
hem that his walters should Hot serve

,oasting, they made their breakfast from
What WAS on the table, offering the
lsnal price for their meal a. they |
eparted, which Major Raphael declined TO /
eceive. Piuchbsck was aboard Of the |
rain, but did not come out. These ls-Tless
1en made = boast before they reached the
here that they intended TO repeat
{ dinner what they had done at breakfast,
Mt as many OF our citizens were at the depot
rhen the train arrived, they very wisely stood
q the back kground. We have the above from
passenger whose character your correspond
ut can vouch for.
