THE POLITICAL BONE.

| NOW that the Democrats are i'm the sill
premay In Mississippi the political bone
has made It's appearance among the vic
tors, and the wrangling and contention
VIII soon commence. The bone spoken
of Is the United States Senate. All the
campaigners are coming to the front, and
the end will show that the first to be nut
forward will surely be thrust aside for a
patriotic compromise gentleman now
snugly cnsconsed in the background. The
FIRST party led TO the slaughter, and .'who
has so ably and prudently conducted the
campaign as chairman OF the executive
committee," is General J.Z. George. He
"has become very much endeared to the
people of Mississippi by his faith.
full and earnest work during the turmoil
and hustle of the late campaign, and has
therefore been introduced to the bone far
ahead of time, and according to AN old
precedent and custom, will be set aside
for compromise candidate. We do not
doubt that General George is worthy of
tor, but the bone will entice other men
who are worthy of it, and who want it.
The people of Mississippi are now free ,po-
litically, and should guard well their now
seeming permanent encampment, which
may end in bivouac for night. The
Democrats of Tennessee, through the
acts of q Republican apostate, Center,
mined supremacy In that State by max
ing Center its chief executive. I'm
bounded enthusiasm prevailed, and the
Democrats embraced each other In their
joy. But the bone was instantly thrust
into the peaceful and jublant camp, and
the commotlon commenced. Frank
Cheatham, very ordinary man--except
In courage and physical strength, was
pitted, by such men as lsham q. Harris,
against the peoples favorite, Andrew
johnson, for Congress. Forty thousand
independents-principally working men,
voted for johnson, the balance of the
Democratic party Tor Chcatham. and
Horace Maynard secured the Office while
the Democratic leaders were fighting and
wasting the strength they were intrusted
with by the men Of the ranks. Let the
readers of the BULLETIN watch, the stride
of events in Mississippi, and unless the
Democratic leaders are endowed with
great force of character and self sacrifice,
they will witness repetition Of the 20.

THE DEVIL.

Moncure d. Conway lectured in Chi
cago on last Sunday, his subject being
"The Devil" During his lecture he said
that the present devil first originated in
Persia, where the philosophers believed
the universe 10 be divided into two hos
Tile camps BY q strong wall, one camp
being in the possession Of God and the
other In the hands of the devil. He said !:
"Oncc invented, the devil made rapid
strides. He could not be laid. 1t relieved
the Deity of all that was bad in nature,
and it gave man an excuse for
his misdeeds. In the latter point
vi view, the devil might be
considered remarkable success.
In the book Of Job there was not one
word OF evil against the moral charac-
ter OF the devil. He Is always mentioned
with great respect, and If any lawyers
that were present would excuse him he
might say that the devil figured il. g..
Old Testament as kind of prosecuting
attorney" This lecture was received
with laughter andapplause. The closing
portion Of his lecture went to prove that
there was no personal devil, and that all
men who worked faithfully to serve their
kind would surely reap reward, no
matter how many demons stood between
them and eternity. Common sense and
science are doing strange work in thi.
world, 4Xt HNtaNA.
