'Tis said if strange cat is taken
into your house, and its paws are
creased, it will stay with you. The
query arises, if this effect is produced
on felines would it not be equally as
efEcacious on CANNES? If SO, isn't it
a reasonable deduction that the paws
of Elders English bull pup has
received a thorough anointment of an
oleaguious nature?
Mississippi Editors at Indianapolis.
On last Friday evening there ar
rived in the capital OF our State, about
thlrty-fve persons, most of whom are
in some way connected with the press
. of Mississippi They were met at the
Union Depot and escorted to the Ho-
tel Bates, and there formerly received
as the guests Of the State; Bayliss W..
Hanna, of Terre Haute, making the
reception speech. In the course of
which he made the following re-
marks We quote from the Senti-
mel of Saturday
HE had been one of those who al
ways preferred compromise to strife,
and spoke touchingly of the misera BILE
ruin wrought by the recent war. But
his most powerful language was used
against the organized fanaticism of
the political party which had been
creating havoc among the social and
civil relations of the South. The past
is mierciless tribunal, from whose
verdict there is no appeal known on
earth, and before that tribunal the
horde of carpet baggers and the dema-
eogues who use them stand to day as
convicts. He believed brighter day
was coming. He could see in the po-
litical sky streakings of the morning
light, and encouraged the representa-
tives Of Mississippi with the assur-
ance that the heel of tyranny would
soon be lifted from their necks.
This is the language of loud
mouthed traitor--sucll he was through
out the rebellion. All his sympathies
were with the South and its last
cause, and he now seizes upon this as
favorable opportunity to give ex-
preston to his long pent up feelings.
Not one patriotic word fell from his
lips-not one in condemnation of the
rash and unjustifable course of the
Southern hot heads who brought this
ruin about; nothing but a denunci-
alton of the men and party that sus-
tanned the government in its hour of
peril and who are now laboring, with
becoming zeal, to restore peace and
fraternal feeling throughout the
South.
a Colonel Falconcr, made the prin-
cipal speech on behalf Of the delega-
ton. He said:
"As Confederate soldier, who had
entered with the earliest volunteers,
he had always respected the Federal
soldier, as he gave him credit for
fighting manfully for cause he con.
ceived to be right. He had been
educated in school on Calhoun
fourth book, and believed the creed il
taught for his section"
At the utterance Of the last sen-
tence, it is recorded, the gentleman
was warmly applauoed. The fourth
book" that the speaker SO fippantly
and proudly refers to, is Calhoun
notification, State rights and seces-
sion doctrine, which was SO popular
at the South few years ago. and it is
maintained to this day by A. H
Stevens. and that school of thinkers all
over the country. We take one more
extract from this literary repast and
will close. It is from the remarks Of
an Indianjan, the Hon. Cyru.
M'Nutt, Democratic politician O.
the western part of the State:
Referring to the popular notion
among blue Republicans that thu
average Confederate soldier was .
| demon with sulphur coming out o
| his nostrils and horns on his head, h,
said that if some orthodox radicals
could see the handsome speaker wht
had just taken his seat, they woult
| pronounce him anything but an ex
| Confederate soldier"
The applause at the utterauce O
this secession nonsense was deafen
