BY the Lieu tenant Governor
Acting Governor.

A correspondent writing from Mad
ison county. strongly advocates the
election oil Col. VIM. ii. McCardle,
of Warren, to the U. ). Senate. Col.
McCardle has never been an aspirant
for ofice-so much the better; Missis.
sippi in her long agony Of misrule has
had ample opportunity to study the
attributes IT her prominent sons, and
she yearns to reward those who have
been weighed in the balance and not
found wanting. 1t will require a hard
fight to regain control Of the Legisla-
ture, but the fight will be made, and
we believe the victory vii! be won,
and 10 that event we do not think
that any man in the state will have
stronger claims upon the people, urg-
ed by the people. aud not under any
circumstances by himself. than Col.
cCardle. No man in Mississippi has
stood by the old state more maniully
than the subject OF this article; no
man within her bounds has suffered
more for her sake, and no man that
we know Of could represent her vari-
ed interests better in the Senate.

Memphis, July 2l.-ln May last q
Young lady residing near Iuka, Miss,
was brutally outraged and beaten at
the depot Ivy a negro hack driver
named Lewis Thompson. During the
struggle she bit him on the cheek,
which led to his capture last Monday.
ii, was arraigned for trial, and yes
terday was sentenced to the peniten-
tiary for life. The grcatett excile-
ment prevailed when the sentence was
made public. AS the lady, though poor,
was highly esteemed. The cxclte'
ment finally eliminated last night in
a party of disguis' d men going to the
jail and taking Thompson down to
the depot and hanging him.

The Primary Election system &.

1t will be seen from the proceedings
published elsewhere. that the Democrats
of Attala county, have declared in favor
of primary elections, as the best mode OF
selecting candidates for office. Our CO.
temporsries. the Meridian Mercury and
the Pascagoula Star, both favor this plan,
the Columbus Democrat has advocated it
for several years past.
That the County Convention system is
liable to objections, will not, we presume,
be denied by anybody and as it is of vital
consequence to the people of Mississippi
those who own the soil and pay the taxes
that they should succeed in electing an
honest Legislature this year, it follows
that the candidates, and the manner OF
selecting them, become matters of su-
preme Importance. As the primary sys-
tenn has never been tried in Mississippi,
the practical working of the plnn is not
generally understood. 1t is very simple,
however, and offers, undeniably, a fairer
expression Of public opinion than the old
county or city convention plan. For in
stance. the people Of this city and county
have one Senator, five Representatives, a
Sheriff, a Circnit clerk, a Chsncery clerk,
a County Treasurer, and sundry other
officers to elect next November. Now we
have no idea who is the choice OF the
people for either of these positions, but If
the gentlemen who are ambitious of serv-
ing the people in Offices of honor, trust
and profit. will o themselves as
candidates for the nomination, and then
bestir themselves among the sovereigns,
a primary election, guarded by ell the
forms, and the protection which the law
throws around a regular election, it will
soon be known who is the choice Of a ma.
jority of the people.
These primary elections should be held
at each legal voting place in the county,
and on the same day. The managers.
judges and clerks of election, should be
gentlemen of unquestioned integrity. and
character, and o. in the case Of Judges.
etc., at regular elections. they should be
sworn 10 perform their duties. without
fear, favor or affection. The candidates
having all pledged themselves to abide by
the result OF a primary election, will go to
work to call ont their trends in this initial
contest, and he who fails TO receive q ma
iority of votes, can at once attribute his
defeat 10 the proper cause, and that is,
that the people do not want bimi
In holding q primary election to deter

the death of Gen. A. Carr OF ohu-

Mississippi for fifty years, and few
men were better known or had more
warm personal friends. In TACT, biz

erosity so great, that we, never heard
of his having an enemy. He lived at
different times in Smith, Scott, Jasper,

before the war was a prosperous aud
successful merchant. He leaves a

The Charge of Bribery Against

From jackson Clarion.l
The Columbus Press, a leading
Republican paper published WHARF,
Lt.>Gov. Davis resides, contains al
editorial on the charge of bribery
which has been made against tina
officer, so pointed and frank, that we
have copied it into our columns. The

and deductions cannot be presumed
to have beeu made from an unfriend.

Y
Now the Index has come squarely
to the point, and specified that Col
onels Beverly Matthews and w. E.
Gibbs are cognizant of the facts
that the money which was expended
to procure the release Of the criminal,
passed through their hands, that, a
lawyers, they received their fees out
of it, and that Col. Gibbs disbursed
to the It,. Governor the sum oil
money which he is cha rged with hav
ing received. The gentlemen nave
it in their power to clear up this
whole transaction, if they will. They
have not spoken. True. Col. Mat
,hews has satisfied the Index that his
action in The case was professional
and honorable" but this does not
amount TO a pinch Of snuff. He is
net Oh trial at the bar of public opin-
ION. Nonody has inquired whether
his conduct his professional and hon.
orable" or not. The inquiry is, what
do you know about the charge against
the Lt.>Governor. and what were the
influences that induced hun to pardon
the criminal? Any answer which
does not Meet this question ~squarely
is simply evasive, aid il utterly abort

Until the matter becomes a subject

Of the facts, have it in their power to
keep silent, but their silence under
the circumstances, is ominious.
