Executive Committee.
A. BALDWIN, Chairman;
JAMES l. DAY, W. B. SCHMIDT,
COLONEL J. D. HILL, JOHN G. FLEMING.

1t is the aim of the Board of Commissioners to
make it a thorough Exposition OF the Agricultural
and Mechanical Products of the Southern States
Mexico and Central America, bat it will be open to
competitors throughout the country, and the
general premium list will embrace all articles
comprehended in the general design of an Agri.
cultural and Industrial Exposition, including
special premiums for strictly Southern products.
The premium list, which is now in course of
publication, will be on liberal scale, and the
rules will provide for just and impartial system
of awards, by competent and disinterested jurors.
The Fair Grounds are generally conceded to be
the handsomest in the United States, comprising
100 acres, within fifteen minutes ride by street
cars from the center of the city. The grounds are
shaded by beautiful grove OF live oaks, and the
buildings, which are Of recent construction are
amply sufficient 10 meet all the necessities of the
most extensive exhibition.
The Racing Course which is used by the Louis.
lana Jockey Club at all its meetings is justly
famous throughout the country, and the accommo.
dations for stock are unsurpassed.
1t is the first time that such an enterprise has
been inaugurated at the South, and being held at
time when the city of New Orleans is thronged
with thousands of visitors to participate in the
festivities of the Carnival, it affords unusual in.
ducements to exhibitors from every section of the
country.
The commissioners earnestly appeal to the peo.
pie of the Southern States to lend their aid and
encouragement to the Exposition, and to make it in
all respects complete exhibition of Southern
productions and tbs hoped that manufacturers,
producers and others in every section of the
country will participate.
Ample arrangements have been perfected for the
transportation of goods and visitors from every
section at reduced rates.

ialls into very common error when he
cites his opinion as that of the community.
Being himself in the minority, he is not
competent to deliver the opinion of the
court. He can only file the dissent of
himself and friends to the action of those
who evidently disagree with him,
and are sufficiently numerous to do
exactly what they have done. The
invitation extended to the president of
the Cotton Exchange to participate in the
deliberations of the funding board is
nothing but compliment extended by
law to body Of traders of more or less
Importance. The presence of the presi-
dent in the board may be, as it doubtless
has been, useful, but it is by no means
necessary. The funding board can get
along without him, as it did before the
honor was offered him by the Legislature.
We can not, of course, say now who will
be the next president of the Cotton TX
change. 1t may even be Mr.. LATTE him
self, notwithstanding his declining to run
for the reasons stated by him. For when
he comes to reflect for a moment be will
see that he will not be compelled to serve
on the funding board. If it is the pleas
ure of the Cotton Exchange that that
body shall not be represented on the fund.
ing beard, they have only to vote for Mr.
Latitte or some other eligible candidate,
and instruct him not to go near it. The
other members are amply competent to
transact the business, and are no doubt
perfectly well versed in the various aues-
tons affecting the interests Of this COM
munity.
We believe Mr. Phelps has discharged
his duties both to the Exchange and the
funding board n an acceptable manner.
AT least we have never heard word of
censure, unless some portions of the
letter referred to may be construed cen.
sure. As the writer admits that Mr.,
Phelps has rendered signal service to
the State by serving on the board" we
prefer to attribute the apparent difficulty
Of reconciling the two positions to our in
ability to properly understand the first.

HOW THEY INTEND TO DO 1T,

1t appears that the shotgun party Of
Mississippi made slight miscalculation
in the sixth congressional district, and
allowed Hon. John r. Lynch to be re-
elected to Congress by small majority
over Colonel Roderick Seal, the Demo-
cratic candidate. This was not discov-
cred until after the votes were counted,
and it was then too late to drive colored men
from the polls. But where there is O DEM
ocratic will there is always Democratic
way, and the proposition now is to throw
out the Washington box of Adams county
for 'gross Irregularities, and count in
Seal. The Washington polling place gave
Lynch majority Of five hundred, and
made his election sure. After all the
assertions and assurances made that
the last election was the most quiet
and tairest ever held in Mississippi,
it is humilia.ing for Democrats to now
confess that fraud prevailed at the
Washington polling place Some of the
election captains had blundered by al
lowing too many Republican votes to be
put in the box, and there is now nothing
left for them to do but to swear that the
votes electing Lynch were put in fraudu-
lently. The Democrats complain offraud
at no other place, and, in fact, it is only
necessary to throw out one box to count
in Seal, so carefully was the cleo
ton conducted. Mr.. Seal, we are
assured by the Handsboro Democrat, "win
be present at the opening of Congress the
first Monday in December to take his
seat" relying upon Democratic House
to give him place which he failed to
gain by votes. 1t is well known that the
Republican vote of the Sixth District OF
Mississippi is twice as large as the Demo-
cratic. Mr.. Lynch was elected to the last
Congress by vote Of 1891, against
$3.50 cast for Mr.. Cassiday, Democrat.
That was tolerably fair election. Now
the Democrats make the charge of fraud
at the Washington polls with the hope of
getting in their man; if that place fails
them, they are quite capable of pleading
fraud in some other place.

Inspeaking editorially of General Gibson,
Thursday morning, the Bulletin informs its
readers that the first congressional district
OF Louisiana consists of New Orleans be-
low Canal street, and the parishes of Jeffer-
son, Lafourche, st. Charles, St. John, St.
James and Terrebonne." This new appor-
tionment, which appears only in the Bulle-
tin, contains four parishes which are claimed
BY E. John Ellis as constituting q portion
of his district, while the others belong to
Mr.. Darrsll's baliwick. Let the Bulletin
move the dividing line from Canal to Julia
street, so as to permit Mr.. Gibson to live
inside OF it, and then start again with its
enumeration.

THE PRESIDENT OF THE COTTON EX.
CHANGE AND THE FUNDING BOARD,

We have read with care and attention
the remarkable letter of Mr.. John B. La
fitte, addressed to the members of the
Cotton Exchange. The ostensible object
in view in writing it was to decline to let
his name be used as candidate for presi-
dent of the Exchange. His objections are
in regard to the ex-oficio duties which
have been conferred by law upon the posi-
ton. In explaining himself, the writer
finds it necessary to attack the whole
financial policy of the State SO far as
funding the old bonds, etc., are con-
cerned, and to array all the friends of the
measure at the bar of what he con-
siders public opinion. In doing thi
MIR. LATTE throws himself in the
ranks Of the opponents of the fund
ing law, which are in q minority
in the State. We need not remind man
of his intelligence that this act has been
ratified in an amendment to the constitu-
ton, which was submitted to the popular
vote and adopted by majority which we
have never heard questioned. Doubtless
a member of the minority may at all times
express his dissent from the well ascer-
tanned will of the majority; bat he is
bound to obey and respect the law Of the
land until he can have it changed in the
usual way. Hence, we can see no good
reason for assailing the whole funding
system and incidentally censuring those
charged with administrative functions
under the law. He does not say in so
many words that he disapproves of any
act Of the present chief of the Cot
ton Exchange, though he leaves broad
ground for inference that he could not
follow in his footsteps, could not carry
out the provisions Of the law which has
been enacted by the community without
doing violence to the interests of that
community. he institutes comparison,
y 1t were, betveen the law and the inter.
ssts OF the Community in which the law is
represented in an unfavorable light. Nh.
Latte may urge his private views on this
'ubject without question from u.s. But he |

MR. JEFFERsON'S REASONS FOR ANOTHER
TERM

Mr.. Jefferson said that the unequaled
calumnies which had been heaped upon
him rendered it necessary that he should
go before his countrymen again for their
verdict upon his character and conduct.
That the only effect of their infamous
calumnies had been to infict upon them
again the administration of man who
stood between them and the spoils must
have been thunder clap to the wanton
libeiers of Mr.. Jefferson. 1t was lesson
to those who hired such character assas-
sins that they would have been more for
midable if more respectable.
Upon the reasons for another term given
by Mr.. Jefferson General Grant could run
term after term, or OF least until the De-
mocracy should call off their dogs of
defamation and calumny. His character
has been too firmly established by the
verdict of the American people to be
shaken by the tempests of abuse which
have spent their fury upon him. Had
not his reputation been so firmly planted,
his defamers would have had to thank
themselves for rendering successive terms
necessary for the vindication of his good
name from malevolent obloquy. In the
conscious contempt of the American peo-
pie for the partisan ISLANDERS which he has
officially outlived, the President will find
no such necessity as that which made
Thomas Jefferson President for "another
term"

Does Mr.. Lafitte propose to set aside
the constitutional amendment ratifying
and enforcing the funding acts? If not,
why attempt to ruin those who have
honestly complied with and respected the
law? If so, would not this be vile and
dishonest form Of reputation, compared
with which the funding act that he de-
nounces is fair and honest compromise
of crushing indebtedness?

is evident the Spanish forces in Cuba report
nothing but victories. That is one way

immediately dispersed, leaving Carton to
