JACKSON county, Mo-, is infested with
q gang of desperadoes who for q long
time have defied the law, and the citizens
last week organized vigilance commit
tee and propose to give no quarters to
outlaws. Some arrests have been made
and much excitement is said to prevail.
For the citizens to unite together for the
purpose of enforcing the laws would be
all right, but for vigilance committees
to take the administering of justice into
their own hands is all wrong. Vigilance
committees usually act from q spirit of
revenge and increase rather than remedy
the wrongs complained Of, and like those
wrongs should be promptly suppressed
by the proper authorities.

The Agricultural Department makes
an estimate that the total wheat crop
Of the United States this year will be
about 2l2,OOO,000 bushels; last year it
was 2S5, 100000. That the late advances
in the price of wheat were merely spec
ulative is evident from the fact that it
has already commenced to decline. II
however the reported damage to crops
abroad prove to be true the price will
certainly advance again, as the foreign
demand will be large.

TERMS $500 PER ANNUM, IN ADVANCE.

WE have seen little circular Issued for
distribution in this county containing the
communication from Bridgton which appeared
in the PRESS of the 9th inst. on sThe N.
S. Littlefield Party" and two letters in reply
addressed TO the citizens of Bridgton and
signed, the one by N. S. Littlefeld and the
other by F. J. Lttlefeld. The former says
that he might call the author Coward"
"liar" and a "scoundrel," but restrains him
self; while the latter, who is a candidate for
Clerk of Courts against D. W. Fessenden,
don't propose to restrain himself at all. How
ever, as his father had used up about all the
good mouth-filling words, he is fain to con-
tent himself with the term of VIPER" in
small capitals, which is really very civil of
him, inasmuch as he might have gone on to
call the poor correspondent ''rattlesnake,"
''cobra," an ''adder," or "copperhead;"
though, to be sure, the latter term might
have lost him votes among his own people,.
1t is painful to contemplate the intensity of
the cerebral agitation which leads the Little
fields to throw themselves with such fury
upon the language of their country and it is
proper subject of question whether citizen
who calls another citizen "vPER," In small
capitals, has sufficient self control to occupy
the calm and stately position of Clerk ot
Courts.

One More Struggle,

The vote by which the Pennsylvania DEM

stood two to one. The vote represents the
relative strength of the two factions in the
party. The only man who dared TO speak for
an honest currency was Kissed and howed
down. The chairman of the committee on
resolutions declared that greenbacks were not
promises to pay, but real money, and that
with a gold currency the wages of labor
would not be ten cents day, and the farmer
could not get ten cents bushel for his wheat.
With this lie in his mouth he carried the
convention with him, and it broke up cheer

can party to save the nation from dishonor,
as it did eight years ago. The Republicans
accept the issue. and stand firm as ever in
support Of the national faith. They have al
ready secured the payment Of four hundred
millions of the national debt. They have
funded six hundred millions of six per cent.
bonds at lower rate cf interest. They have
pledged themselves to redeem the legal-ten-
der notes in coin, and have fixed date fo'
their redemption. With the support OF the
people they will continue the work and
stamp out reputation forever.
The Democrats of Maine see that they
will be forced to support an imitation platform

to declare for reputation tomorrow. 1t be-

A conservative" Opinion on the Missis-
sinDi Outrage.


The New York Herald declares that one
such outrage like that at Clinton does more
to keep away the kind of people whom Missis
sippi needs than all the efforts of all her citi-
zens can do in years to draw them thither.
With a justice aud boldness which might
well be emulated by papers of higher moral
pretensions, the Herald says:
''The white people of Mississippi ought to
understand that the Northern people are very
impatient under such things. They DO not wish
the least harm to the Southern whites. We
are all ready here to say that the war is over,
and to let by cones be bygones. But such out
RACES as that Of the Fourth of July at Vicks
burg, and at Clinton on Saturday, arouse bad
blood here in the North. We remarked
Ohio Democrats WAS SOARING the
people back into the Republican party, and
was putting that party into the hands of its
least scrupulous men. But these Mississippi
brutalities do even more than Allen and Pen
dleton to this end. Again, the whites of Miss
prudent to goad even long suffering subject
and naturally mild race to extremes. By such
wanton attacks on peaceable colOred people as
are but too frequent there, they are arousing
devil that some day may rise upon them in
fury. They cannot go en- forever permitting
injustice and outrage toward q weaker race"
Nevertheless the Democratic journals of
the North make the massacre of colored men
by the tens and dozens fit matter for joke
about shaking the bloody shirt! They stand
by their southern brethren in committing
these outrages just as they did in 1861 A,
when they were carrying on war which re-
suited in the slaughter of Northern men.
