The Washington Artillery Entertainment

The Washington Artillery Entertainment.
ror many days the washington Aruiiery
had been preparing for benefit entertain
ment, the proceeds Of which should go
toward the fund 10 take the battalion to
the Centennial exhibition. The farces,
music and acts had been well rehearsed,
tickets enough had been sold to fill the
theatre, and successful exhibition. pecu-
ularily and otherwise, was assured. On the
eve of this great entertainment came a
wall from the afflicted at Iudanola. Colonel
Walton promptly called meeting of the
battalion with view of diverting the pro-
ceeds of the entertainment from the
original purpose, and yesterday morning
the battalion voted, without a dissenting
voice, to turn over all the money made To
those suffering from the effects of the storm
IN Texas. 1t is true the money was gath
cred from the people, and for a different
purpose, which fact mades the timely ac,
of the Washington Artillery really dona-
tion of large amount of money directly
to a worthy charity. The battalion he $
made new friends by their generous deed.
and the people will applaud and sustain
them, ard make up the sum in good time at
another en- ,rtainment for genuine Wash

The exhibition came off at the Varietier
Theatre last night. Such another audience
was never gathered within the walls of the
theatre. 1t was stated that nearly 1000

Republican Opinion On Grnna's
Arkansas Message.

From the Cincinnati Commercially
The Arkansas Message of the Presi-
dent is the talk in Washington. The
general feeling about it is one of appre-
hension of trouble As Arkansas Is at
peace, why resume a state of warfare
From the St. Louis Globe.l
Notwithstanding the Presidents mes
sage, we greatly fear that Mr.. Brooks
will not Immediately become Governor
Of Arkansas. The House at Washington
is evidently against him on this point.
From the Chicago Tribune
1t may be that the position of the
President IS technically correct; yet We
believe that interference with the con-
stituted government of Arkansas, which
has brought prosperity and peace to that
unhappy State, would be contrary to q
broad and enlightened public policy.
From the Indianapolis Journal.l
The message viii excite the more sur
prise since it IS in direct conflict with the
report Of the special committee on Ar
kansas affairs, who are of opinion thai
the present government represents 9
majority Of the legal voters, and should
not be interfered with. =
We cannot think that the
course recommended by the President
would be either wise or judicious. In
our opinion the continued recognition O
Garland, the present Democratic Gov
ernor. is safer, wiser and more manly
policy, and furnishes much better guar
antee for the future peace of the State
2 . :; Brooks has shown himseli
to be pestilent agitator, without politi
cal convictions and willing to serve un
der any banner that may afford an op
portunity for plumber. Congress shoulC
lose no time in giving him TO understand
that he need expect no recognition or en-
enlargement from that body.

four most conspicuous Republican news
papers in the West.

AtIOrney-GseneraI Harris Cotton
Tax Proposition.
rom the Vicksburg Herald. !

rom the Nicksburg Herald
As to his proposed tax on COTTON.
that IS naked atrocity. The land OF
the country is already taxed to eonfsca-
| ton. Each year finds millions Of acres
| transferred the ownership of the State
because of the inability of the people to
pay the enormous taxes imposed by TO-
norance, collected in corruption, and
squandered in prohigacy Each year
finds the people plunged deeper and
deeper IN poverty and distress, and vet,
not content with taxing the women, the
children and the old men of Mississippi
out OF their homes, Mr. Geo. f. Harris
proposes tax on the products of their
labor, the fruits of the generous old
mother Of US all, the teeming earth which
rarely fails to yield rich reward to the
ceaseless toll of the patient husbandman
Instead Of adding to the Humber of the
objects Of taxation, why does not Mr..
ttarfls seek to reduce them, and thus
tighten the burdens of the people? The
fruits Of mans labor, the products of the
soil should never be taxed until they
have been converted into real or personal
property that is legitimate subject of
taxation, and a proper source of revenue
to the State.

Lamar as Portrayed by "a Political
Zoe.
From liz M-lwal.kee Sentinel.

From the Milwaukee Sentinel
In point OF ability and sterling quail
ties ot character. l.. q. c. Lamar, Of
Mississippi. is probably the ablest man
of the extreme Democratic or Southern
wing. lie Is OF maeksd qualities of
character. and leaves the impression Of
being anything bot an ordinary man.
lie is peculiar both i'm look and manner,
and one LOOKS at him several times be-
fore really making up his mind in any
way lie is broad shouldered and Of
sturdy build, a.little below the medium
height, and gives evidence of power,
tenacity and frnlness of character. His
face IS closely shaver, wearing no beard,
and his hair is of a fine brown silky
color, and falls perfectly straight to his
shoulders. He is reticent and unpreten-
tious, seldom giving expression to his
opinions unless asked, and never OBJ
trusive or the slightest egotistical in man
ner. He has evidently been hurt or
toned down by his political experiences
before or during the war, being at that
time one Of the most rabid, fre-eating
and determined of the slave-holding
South, and as member of Congress at
that time, savage and desperate in an ex-
treme degree. But the fate of ''the in
stitution" and the severe experiences and
trials of the South everywhere, in CON
sequence of their determination to up
hold and continue it, has had its sub
during or Christening effects upon him,
and he is no longer the man with fire,
fury and will, overbalancing all reason,
sense or justice, but is in every respect,
at least in appearance, the gentle, quiet,
firm and an1comPro0lising statesman, and IS
really rejecting more credit upon the CT
IRENE Southern locality, from ,ohichhe came,
than any other member We trust he will
not be displaced by any less steady hand,
or made to give way to one less skilled in
legislation, or to one less inclined to deal
out eyen-handed justice to all parties:
He is a close reasoner, and an easy and
earnest advocate.
From the standpoint of ability and
downright earnestness of character, Dr.
Lamar stands first on the Democratic side,
and would without doubt have been
selected as leader, had he possessed less
pride, and been more facile and polite
in his course, and an easier subject for
political trickery and tricksters.

Parties from Florida say that Jones,
the recently elected Senator, is a native
of Ireland and comparatively young
man, being only forty-one years of age.
He came to the United States when ten
years Of age and took up his residence in
Pensacola in 1854. He is a self-made
man, was admitted to the bar in 1857,
and is considered one of the best lawyers
in the State. He ran for Congress in
1872 and was defeated by Purman, the
Republican member who recently re
signed. In 1874 he was elected repre-
sentative in the lower house of the State
Legislature. He is moderate Demo
crat and reputed an honest and able man,
who will represent his State with fear
less fidelity.

Death on the Cars.

From the Water Valley CoHrier.l
On Sunday morning last as passenger
train No. ! going north, was pulling UP
from the depot in this city to the shops
where the trains undergo an inspection
Of machinery, a passenger in the Chicago
sleeping coach died suddenly in his
berth The gentleman held a compound
ticket from New Orleans to Chicago,
and clme on the car at the former place,
as represented by the conductor of the
sleeping car, as an invalid with consump-
ton. He had a good many papers on
his person and valise from which it was
ascertained that his name was Alexander
Fraser, that he had been clerk on the
Steamer Bart Able, formerly, but more
recently, probably, an Auditor or kind OF
referee between steam boat clerks and
Steamboat agencies.
The gentleman had on very good
clothes, all new, but had only some $50 in
money On his person.
The railroad officials received a tele-
gram from the father on Monday, and
the corpse was forwarded to Wellsville,
Ohio, by train that day.

Loved and Lost.

fell in love; with a fat girl once;
loved madly, because I was loving four
hundred and seven pounds of girl. She
was amiable, good patured, tender heart
Ell and true, and think she loved me.
We were to be married in the Fall, and
l should probably have been one of the
happiest of husbands, when an accident
dashed my prospects. She fell overheard
just as we were about to leave the wharf
on a steamboat excursion. Three or
four sailors plunged after her, and they
got gang plank under her and a cable
around her waist and towed her to the
wharf. They then rugged a derrick and
lifted her out by sections, but they were
so long about it that she took severe
cold, and the result was death. There
were months after that never could pass
a load of hay without thinking of my
lost Amanda and shedding tears, and
even to this day | never see an elephant
or a rhinoceros without her dear vision
rising up before me. Max Adeler.

The Saturday evening hop at Wizards
was brilliant finale to the weeks festivi-

filed with gay crowd of dancers and
pleasure seekers, who ''chased the hour

were some very elegant and elaborate

brunette; a dress of salmon gros grain,

The Vacant E'reasEsrer'S Office
How ii Ought 10 be FILLED.

From the Meridian Mercury.l
A vacancy in that office, by death or
otherwise, is to be filled, temporarily, by
appointment of the Governor, and then
by special election ordered by the GOV
ernor at sixty days notice. We under
stand that there was already canvass
for the successor before the dead Treasu-
rer had been buried
The Constitution confers upon the
Legislature the right, and the duty too, of
prescribing the mode of filling such a
vacancy, as it has done, and we submit
to that body now sitting, if this case does
not suggest the necessity of a cheaper
mode than holding an election all over
the State to choose an officer for part
Of a term. 1t is costing too much for
any possible good to come of it; and a
due regard for the necessity for economy
demands a change in the law We sug-
gest the plan that the Governor might
nominate and the Senate confirm when in
session, or, to convene within sixty DAYS
Otherwise, the Governor nominate aud
the Supreme Court Judge confirm, in
case of any vacancy in one of the State
offices. A general State election is costly
and unsatisfactory, rs but small vote
will be polled. We suggest to enact
the law at once to apply to the present
case.

Mr. Lamar, of Mississippi, admins
tered a we'll merited rebuke to General
Butler yesterday. The latter charged,
as one reason why the thirds rule
should be abolished, that it originated
with the slavepOwer, arguing that be-
cause of Its origin it must be wrong. Mr..
Lamar admitted the charge, and declared
that 1t was the highest compliment that
could be paid to the slave power. 1t
was, he said, glorious spectacle to see a
party, absolutely supreme in both Houses
of Congress, coming forward and volun-
tarily putting check upon their own
actions. Itmay be added that the spec
tacle will never be witnessed under radi-
cal rule-Chicago Times.
