-Nr. d.tor:-I sce in the press Of
the state, including yours OF the
| 30th of October, that the question rs
to who is to succeed Senator Alcorn
| in the United States Senate is al
ready being debated. Public opin-
ion seems TO point to Hon. Mr.. La
mar and Hon. Jefferson Davis as
the most prominent aspirants. Al
low me to suggest that the Hon. J
\. p. Campbell of our town is at
this time preferable to either of them.
Lamar is a great orator, but great
orator is not SYNONYMOUS with great
man, or great lawyer, or great states
man. And never did the polished
manufacturer of glittcring sentences
st: otch the IN iia-rubber of ella. strap
to greater tension than when he
pronounced that Mississippi mourn
Ell the death Of the Hon. Charies Sam
ner. Honorable Jefferson Davis is
As true rs steel he would have died
twenty-five times day TO have
saved his country from ruin. But
he belongs TO history. When the
gro in his seat in the Senate, the
Radicals OF the North, from Ply
mouth Rock to Plymouth Church
and from Plymouth Church to San
Francisco reUeled at it as an appro-
pirate catastrophe, as providential
rctributive justice. But just men
every where saw in the act nothing
IA
HOW to put Jefferson Davis back
would be rega rded by the Radical
North asa deliberate insult, as rctrt5u-
tire vengeance.
There is no necessity for this.
When is the cross cut saw OF hatred
to cease TO work for whether tug
ged at by the handle North or the
handle South, at each crash ii is
cutting into the vitalS of the gov
crnment and destroying the hope
of restored peace.
Campbell is thoroughly posted IN
all laws, municipal, state, national,
inter national constitutional, foreign
and domestic-he is equally at home
in them all. The weak judges Of
the inferior courts he takes
and bears away at will, as sam
son took the gates of Gazo ports,
bolts and all, and bore them Away
in triumph on his shoulders. Be
fore the able Judges at Jackson he
has grappled with the giant minds
of the state, never taking u step
backwards, but ever III the iroa t
ranks, Primus inter Pares.
Give Campbell a chance. let
him ge-to the Senate, thence TO the
bar of the Supreme Court at Wash
ington and finally to a seat on the
bench of the United States Court,
which he is vet destined to occupy,
and for which he is prominently
fitted by his studies, his professional
pride, his herculcan power of body
and mind. F.S.

To this the bar returned the fol-
lowing answer by telegraph
TO Hon. W. Il. Cunningham
There is perfect peace and order in va
zoo county; there is no obstruction to the
execution of the laws or of legal process,
and there is no reason. SO far us we can
see. why the ensuing term of the Circuit
court should not be held. and we respect
fully protest against any idea to the con-
trary. We desire a Jail delivery and the
disposition of civil business, so far rs is
practicable. We think it essential that
the term should be held. Answer by tel

The all-absorbing topic now in
political circles is who is to be U.
S. Senator 10 succeed AIcorn. Many
of our exchanges havc run up the
names OF their fayorites. Prcmi-
nent among these are the names OF
GenI George, Gcn1. Lowry, Col.
Lamar, Gen'l. Featherstone, Col.
McCardlc, all good men and true.
In our issue of to-day, We have two
communications on this subject,
suggesting the names of gentlemen
not one whit less worthy and well
qualified than any of the above
named gentlemen, in fact, they are
men emincntiy qualified, men Of
giant intellect, who would not only
do honor to their state but 10 the
nation, Major Ethel Barksdale OF

man. we ask the attention of our
readers to tho articles spoken of,
and commend these gentlemen and
their respective merits to our Leg

ham, the carpet bag Judge of this
Judicial District, received per cx-
press a package, and upon opening
ii found therein leather halter.
The package came from 1azoo,
where The Judge has failed to hold
court. Whether the halter was
suggestive of desire on the part
of tic people of Yazoo to lead the
truant Judge to his duty, or that
that functionary ought to go ont
and hang himself, the way bill OF
the Express company does not set
forth. Uowcvcr, should the Judge
resolve to pursue i.ic latter course
we are sure the stale and District
