The Jackson Times of the 18th
goes for us again in an article OF Il
columns length, and still insists
that we should go head, because
we desire that the bona tidc citizens
and Taxpayers of Madison county
should be placed ut the head of their
own affairs. The Times styles our
teachings "incend;ary. Well, If
our love for an oppressed people,
if our desire ,hat they should be rid
of ignorant, ;rtolcrant and abusive
officials is inccn;.iary, We accept the
charge with all our heart. We glo-
ry in being an incend:ary," if to
hate thieves and oppose the rule
and domination of illitcrate, incom-
petent anu corrupt officials consti-
tutc inccrdiarism The time has
come when there is to be an end of
this thing. Our people are becom-
ing aroused, and we propose to
keep up the enthusiasm and spirit
and to leave nothing that is fair
and honorable undone to incite
them TO the Importance of carrying
our county against its enemies. We
are determined to carry the county
and are not at all concerned about
the 1000 Radical majority, which
can't be counted on by our enemies
with any certainty; in fact, a
large proportion of that majority Is
rs much concerned and as anxious
as we are for change in the adj
ministra,ion of county and state at
fairs. That majority is as much at
fccted as we are by the results of in
competent, intolerant and oppres-
sive administration of our state and
county affairs, and know that the
ills we bear in the way of poverty
and loss of credit is attributable
solely and alone to the party in
power. The honest people of Mad
ison county are determined to put
their very best men forward and
by so doing they will render them
selves invinciblc. They will deserve
success, and will achieve it, too"

The Philadelphia Centenn

The Philadelphia Centennial
Board of Managers have appointed
Colonel Lamar one of the orators
Vt the approaching celebration, and
General Joseph f. Johnson one of
the masters of ceremonies, and ask
no iron-clad oath of them. This is
an olive branch that will be re-
ceived by the people of the South
with fraternal feeling. The iron
clad oath exacted by partisan Off
cials from commissioners from the
Southern States is an insult to our
section, and merits our Indignation
and contempt.

We are Pleased To know that tho
young men Of our town contemplate
organizing a acknowledgements
tive Club for the coming campaign.
This is right, and we trust that the
young men throughout tho county
will organize similar clubs, and en-
tee earnestly upon the work of re-
decming the county from tho rule
and domination of the Radicals.
Thorough organization and a deter
mined will to carry the county
against all opposition will secure
success. We are in better condi-
ton to accomplish this great and
good end than we have ever been ;
for the reason that the impression
prevails that the Radical majority
in the county is so largo that it can
not be overcome, consequently there
are no aspirants for the various Of
fees, no division among friends,
no cliques in favor of any particu-
lar candidate for Office. 1t is re-
garded as q forlorn hope and no
one is anxious to take the lead, no
one is seeking office. We must there
fore seek men to hold the offices,
urge to become candidates, and
leave no honorable means unem-
ployed to elect them. When the
county convention meets on the
oath OF July next to elect delegates
10 the State Convention to be held
in Jackson on the 3rd of August,
we can make nominations for coun-
ty offices and for the Legislative
ticket. Let the young mon of the
county, in the mean time: form their
clubs and organizations in every
beat and send delegates to the coun-
ty convention. We believe there are
good and competent men enough
in the county who have the patri-
otism to make the contest. A nan
who is unwilling, in such crisis
as the present, when called upon to
make the race, certainly would be
unworthy the suffrages and conf
dence of the people should he at
some future time, when the clouds
are gone and the way blazed for
success, aspire to election to office
We are in that stress when the Of
fee must seek the man and not the
man the Office. And in this we
have a hope of obtaining good and
true men. The greatest curse to
country is the greed for Office and
it is a Characteristic of the party
now in power, especially in the
South, that it is composed Of Office
holders and office seekers. Grant
wants life lease on the White house.
Amos wants to go the United States
Senate, and Warner, Niles, Morgan
and a multitude of non-descripts
want to go to Congress, while AL
fred Handy and Sinful II. H. ToIes
and other corrupt and illiterate
numskulls aspire to the State Senate
and House of Representatives. They
are already laying their plans and
drawing their lines for office. 1t is
a sure sign, in these days of back
pay grabs, subsidies, etc, when a
man announces himself for office
that he ii after plumber, brides and
other perquisitcs, and he is a rare
and exceptional case, who seeks
office for the good Of anyone else
but himself.

Clerical Scandal.

The following is taken from the
telegraphic columns of the New Or
leans Picayune of the 23d. There is
no doubtin our mind that the Rev.O
Mr.. Copeland is none other than
&" Brother Horton" who figured here
rather VIGOROUSLY two years ago:
BALTIMORE, May GA weekly
paper of this city, The Baltimorean,
publishes to-day a spicy scandal,
coupling it with a party represent
ing himself to be a minister of the
Gospel and delegate to the late In
ternational Sunday School Conven-
ton in this city. The facts seem to
be as follows: A few days before
the assembling of the convention a
person having evory appearan &c and
bearing of gentleman, presented
himself at the rooms of the recep-
ton committee of the convention,
and represented himself to be the
Rev. W. f. Copeland, Baptist
minister from New Orleans, and
previously from Texas.
He was an accomplished musician,
instrumental and vocal, with an as
sumed air of deep piety, and sue
ceeded in ingratiating himself in the
good opinion of the unsuspcc,ing
committee. On Sunday, May 9th,
he preached in Westminster Church
in this city. On the following day
(Monday) Il dispatch was received
by the committee from Philadelphia
stating that Rev. Mr.. Copeland was
an imposter, and warning them to
look out for him.
The receipt of this dispatch soon
came to the knowledge of Copeland,
and he hastily left. While here he
registered at ono hotel as w. +.
Copeland, Massachusetts, at anoth-
er as George Warren, Boston, Mas
sachusetts, and ut another as Mr.
Reid. While at one of the hotels
he invcigled to his room lady
whose acquaintance he had obtru-
sively made here in an art gallery,
evidently for the purpose of effect
ing her ruin, but it is positively stat
ed ~he did not occupy room with
him, and was only present at din
ner on one occasion. Copeland,
alias Warren, alias Reid, is said to
be of most imposing appearance,
weighing about one hundred and
scvcnty-tive. Soon after reaching
Baltimore he visited barber and
had flowing black beard shaved off.
The Investigation now being made
into the character of Senator Spen-
Ger. of Aiabamp. and into the man
ncr of his election, hus brought to
light the fact that he was North

Dear Sir,

OC0A AAIH
Permit me to add, as a postscript to
your notice of the Golden Wedding''
Of my respected friends Mr.. & Mrs. F. B.
Dubois, q fact which says much for
the heaIthiness Of our little Island.
During my residences here, not yet
quite nine years, five other Golden
Weddings have taken place. Mr..
& Mrs. j. G.. Sridlron, Mr.. & Mrs. j..
FinIay, Mr.. & Mrs. J Gibbons, Mr.. & Mrs.
W. Gibbs, and Mr.. & Mrs. J. Dewindt, all
spent more than fifty years of married
life
These all belonged to St. Johns English
Church. Perhaps other instances are
known to the other ministers of religion in
the Island.
I am sure l only express the wish of
the whole community in hoping that
those two couples out Of the six, who yet
remain with their links unbroken, may be
spared to see their Diamond Wedding''-
the Goth year of marriage.

Prince Bismarck certainly is not an Sc
curate speaker. He declared in the de-
bate of April 10th, on the revision of the
Prussian Charter, that the Pope ''hands
over h%eretics, including the great majority
of the Prussians, to eternal perdition, aud
orders US to accept the Romanist religion
as we would value the future salvation of
our souls" We have never heard of any
Illumination of the kind. On the contrary,
silly and arbitrary as the present Pope 10,
it is he who has given the fnal Papal sane
ton to the dictum that pious heretics who
are ia "invincibIe ignorance OF Catholic
truth, may be saved though never convert
ed in this LITE. But the curious part OF
the speech was that Prince Bismarck treat
ed the Pope as if he were really a most
formidable temporal ruler, whose DEGREES
needed energetic resistance, and not rather
the head of a powerful sect, and a small
one in relation to the German Power.
whose opinions should be politically as IN
different to Germany as the opinions OF
the SpitituaIists. What is utterly unin-
telIigib.e to the British politician is. why
Prussia cannot wait to punish and. perse-
cute, till UItramontane doctrines take eff
feet in disIoyal actions; why the Pope's opln-
ion,~-whatever it be,-about eternal pun
ishments is to be held at all more impor-
tant than Calvin's, or half as important as
St. John's3 1t seams to US that Prince
Bismarck is building up the power he
processes to fear.

The accounts Of Spanish finance grow
worse than ever. According to the Ma
drid correspondent Of the TINES the reve-
nue., which in 1871 was 923 100000, 10
now not above $4,000, 900, while the Debt
has reached 953O, 600, 900 at 8 per cent,
the interest absorbing within a fraction
the entire revenue. Ofconrse the interest
is not paid, and except under some COM
promise in bankruptcy never will be.
Spain could scarcely raise more than
$50, 900 900 a year by any exertion, or
afford more than a fourth Of that for the
interest on the debt. According to S.
Salaverria, the war expenditure now ABB
serbs / 5,OOO,O 900 a year, or nearly the
whole revenue, leaving a million for the
civil service, the magistracy, the Church.
and the central department of public
works. Until the war ends, and Cuba ia
either released or p%aciied, there is no hope
of improvement ; and even when it ends,
a bankruptcy of some kind must be pro.
claimed. The Spanish Treasury is still
much better off than the Treasury of France

The Paris Correspondent of the Times
publishes an elaborate calculation, which
has some marks of 'inspiration' about
it, to show that the Assembly can get
through its work by the asst week Of Au-
gust, that the elections to the Senate will
end about the 18Th September, and the
Assembly be dissolved in about another
month. The elections should be over by
the end Of November, and the new Assem-
bly, of two Chambers meet before the end
of the year. Th4 calculation, which is
based on the certainty that the majority
would break up if new questions of any
magnitude. were placed before it. seems
sound, but its correctness will depend on
the absence Of any unforeseen Occurrences
between May and September. Four months
is a long while for France TO remain with.
out some unforeseen event.

and has run in that time 475, 1873 miles,

The formal reception of Alexander

place on February IL, in Paris. The
new Academician took his seat between
his two sponsors. Although beginning
to show sigHs of badness in appearance
is still youthful, and contrssted strongly
with that of the aged men who were
about him. His fine features are strongly
marked, and his bold eyes and tall
stature always attract attention, even in
a crowd, Among the Aeademicians the
Due d'Aumule was conspicuous by his
handsome face and smart, soldier like
demeanor. NJ. Dumas voice betrayed
some emotion at the opening of his dis
course, especially when he declared that
his father was entering the Academy with
him, his inherited name having opened
its doors. During one hour and a quarter
Dumas kept the delighted attention of
his audience at full strain. Even his
modified praise Of his predecessor,
Leburn-an already forgotten medioc-
rity-was interesting, while his perOrs
