Glover was a pretty big ma,

BROTHER Glover was a pretty big man
in a certain old Connecticut village. He
would swear a little sometimes, but when
he subscribed $500 toward rebuilding and
reitting the old church, that special act of
charity covered a multitude of sins. Bro
Their Glover had a big voice. There was
no time, tone or tune in it, but he beloved
as he pleased in church singing. When
the new church was finished it had to be
dedicated, and a choir was carefully train
ed to do the singing. Brother Glover was
not of the choir, and the intention was to
rule him out of the vocal exercises. The
choir had carefully rehearsed a new dedi-
catory hymn, and everything was ready
for the interesting ceremonies. The church
was crowded, and Brother Glover was i'll
his place in a front pew, as large as life
The new piece was struck up, and Brother
Glover's voice rose loud above the organ.
There was a pause. The organ and choir
were mute, and the latter mad. The min
lister looking at a fly on the ceiling, ex-
planned that it was a new piece, which the
choir alone had practised, and requested
the congregation not to join in the sing
ing. The piece was recommended, and
again Brother Glover's big voice broke it
up. The preacher then fixed his eyes on
Brother Glover and requested him to keep
silence during the performance of the new
piece, which he did not understand, and
Brother Glover, looking at his beloved
pastor with his big round eyes, replied in
a big voice "Look-a.here, Mr.. Barnhardt
/ paid $500 toward repairing this damne,
old gospel box, and by thunder l will
sing" The preacher gave it up, and so
did the choir.

THE RESOLUTIONS.

\ 20 Liz hEoOLC iiO-No'
After reciting the history Of events
in Louisiana, and relating the .mili-
tary interference Of the Federal Coy.
eminent in the Legislative govern
ment of the State, the resolutions
adopted provide as follows:
Resolved, That for this reason
above all we emp1atically protest
against it, and declare our solemn
conviction that it were better that
legislative bodies shall be forbidden
to meet at all, than to he forbidden to
meet under their own rules and sur
rounded by their own officers, because
nothing is more dangerous or demon
alizing than arbitrarary, yelled by
constitutional forms, and that the
citizens of New York, without dis
tinction of party, here assembled, APP
peal to their fellow citizens Of the
whole country to unite with them in
this protest.
And whereas, a recent dispatch of
the Lieutenant General of the army,
addressed to the Secretary Of War,
suggesting that Congress should pass
an act, or that the President should
issue a proclamation in imitation of
the dragonades of Louis NV, declar-
ing an indeterminate number Of his
fellow-citizeps banditti, aid aathori-
zing him to hunt them down with an
armed force, might be passed over as
hasty and ill considered language Of
a soldier who, however gallant in the
field, has allowed himself to remain
inexcnsably ignorant of the usages
and laws of his country, were it not
that it received the prompt approval
of the War Department, accompanied
by an intimatioI that the President
and other members of the Cabinet
approved of it. Therefore be it
Resolved, That we cannot refrain
from expressing our heartfelt repro
baton ofdhaAdispatch itself, of the
atr0ciou14 1atation it casts on a
large boSpf our countrymen and of
the Executive sanction which it has
received. Whereas, the outrages on
Legislative independence against
which we have met to protest, have
no legal relation to the problem Of
reconstruction property so-called, and
do not arise out Of any recent legisla-
ton of Congress regarding States
lately rebellious; and
Whereas, Federal military assist
ance is to be rendered upon his re-
sponsibility by the President under
and by virtue of a provision of the
original unamended constitution, and
in answer to a call which the Legisla-
ture Of any State, or if not in session
the Governor of any State may make;
therefore,
Resolved, That the manner in
the Federal troops have been en-
ployed in Louisiana constitutes an
abuse Of authority, which is danger
Gus to public liberty in an equal de-
gree in every part Of the Union.

THE FEELING IN ST. LOUIS.

ST.. LOUIS, Mo-, January'7,-A num-
Der Of prominent merchants held a
meeting at the Merchants Exchange
to day to consult as to what action
should be taken regarding the affairs
in Louisiana. Although most of
them present sympathized with the
people of New Orleans, they deemed
it inexpedient to bring the matter ever
in it's commercial bearings before the
Exchange, and concluded that the
agitation Of such questions would
tend to create division among mem
bers. 1t is likely, however, that a
public meeting will be called for Sat
urday evening to give expression to
the feelings and opinions upon the
subject. rs., -s.7

HoMIcIDE.-On Saturday evening
last an unfortunate affair occurred
in this city, which resulted in the
death of West Thomas (colored, }
at the hands of Flake Jones, white. J
Our information is that Thomas had
been curslng and threatening Jones
for o half an hour or more, with a
Ratchet in his hand, when Jones
seized an axe-belve and struck bin
two blows over the head, from the
effects of which he died early Mon
day morning. Mr.. Jones was ar
rested by T. II. Weathersby, City
Marshal, but was discharged on
security for his appearance before
the Mayor on Monday morning.
Sunday afternoon it was discovered
that Jones had left for parts un-
known, and he has no, been heard
of since. The affair is greatly la
Riented, as West Thomas was a
colored man of a harmless thong
trifiing nature, with many friends of
both races; and Flake Jones,
young man of most excellent repu-
tation in our city, having resided
here for the past five years.

sEUrrER,s PHOTOGRAPHS.

On this subject let us be candid.
We are particularly mindful of the
interests of our community when
we direct most earnestly the atten-
ton of the public to Mr.. e. Won
Seutter's studio, recently estab
lished here By this gentleman from
Jackson, Miss.
Mr.. Won Seutter has placed on our
table an endless number of opin-
ions of the press Editorials from
the leading papers of Mississippi,
who praise him in the highest
terms, not only as an artist of ex-
traordinary talents, taste and en-
ergy, but also as a refined and
courteous gentleman of undoubted
responsibility.
Mr.. Won Seutter has lived and
labored right here in Mississippi
blinds county, since 1851, and his
old and new works are living mons
Iments of his talent and success.
We have seen his gorgeous life-size
and life-like portraits, together with
smaller pictures and photographs,
and with pleasure endorse the
praises sounded by the press as
aforesaid. Such magnificent pho
tographic portraits, colored to life,
we have rarely seen produced else
where, and never before have in
our midst; and we advise all and
every one to avail themselves of
this opportunity to procure the
portraits of their children and
themselves, or have old and fading
pictures of beloved ones long de-
parted from this uncertain life
copied and enlarged by Mr.. E, Won
Seutter, who makes a speciality of
this branch ct photography, being
provided with huge apparatus for
that purpose in jackson.
How much safer and much more
satisfactory this is than the fisk of
sending valuable pictures North or
depend on rowing " artists" every
one will admit on examining Mr..
Won Seutter's work or by noting his
reputation as an artist and re-
SpOnSible business man.
We advise again: Don't neglect
this opportunity, but if you call on
Mr.. Won Seutter and see his pictures
we need say no more.

effect that the colered Republican
Clubs of this county we're marching
on Canton ON Monday night last,
with view to destroy the town,
caused large number of our white
citizens to arm themselves and
guard the town all night. The re-
port afterwards proved to be entire
ty unf1unded, but the author of
such criminal lies, of course, are
never detected A coat of tar and
feathers would not be too severe
punishment for the villain who thus,
wilfuIly and falsely, threw our COM
munity into a state of remarkable
and imminent hostility
between the races, never seen here
before.
