LAFAYETTE CoUNrY.-Col. H. w.
Walter, of Holly Springs, delivered an
eloquent and very effective address before
the Democratic Club at Oxford Tuesday
night, 18th inst, to which we had the
pleasure of listening. Prof Guthrie, on
same day, vanquished the opposition at
Abbeville, and has entered upon a list of
appointments, including every day until
the election. He is free and fearless in
his exposure of Radicalism. Lafayette
county will send him to the Legislature,
and will elect the entire ticket by hand
some majority. The county has a white
voting majority of seven hundred, and
but comparatively few of the "mean"

The Cotton Premiums at State
Fair.

The premiums offered for the best cotton
exhibited at the coming State Fair amount
10 $525-00. 1t has been the policy of the
State Fair authorities, for several years
past, not to offer premiums on cotton, but
rather to encourage the grain and grass
crops. The premiums now offered are by
the Centennial Board, and inasmuch as
mississippi is the great cotton State of the
south, and of the world, it would seem ap-
propriate that she should contend for supe-
Aority in this particular at the great Inter
national Exposition. 1t SHOULD be remem-
oered that cotton cannot be entered at the
Exposition except through the State Board
and the Board will not ship any unless it
mas been first exhibited and pronounced
upon at the State Fair. The samples are to
De sent to the New Orleans Cotton Ex-
change, where committee of experts will
examine and report. The premiums will
then be paid, and the best bales stored and
reserved for shipment to Philadel phia-1he
state Board paying all expenses on the pre-
MUM bales.

THE PETE PHILLIPS CASE.

At the Parish Prison there was considerable
rejoicing over the decision rendered by the
Supreme Court, Monday, in the case of the
State VS.. Pete Phillips, in which Judge
Braughn's appointment was in question. The
prisoners whose liberty is involved seemed to
think that the opinion was tantamount to q
Jail delivery, and that in a few days the doors
would be opened and all invited out.
There is yet considerable difference of OPT
MON amongst members of the bar as to the
effect of the Supreme Courts action. Some
lawyers seem to think that it takes in all cases,
from those who were indicted before Judge
Atocha and tried before Judge Braughn down
to those who were indicted before Judge
Braughn and now awaiting trial. Others say
that the decision only affects the case APP
pealed, and that those who did not avail
themselves Of the plea are not affected in the
least The latter opinion is conceded to be
the correct one by some prominent attorneys.

A QUESTION OF LAW.
Two Lives Dependent Oh its De-
ciSiOn.

The Governor is anxious to have question
of law, and very nice question at that de-
cided
1t has come up in connection with the re-
cent decision of the Supreme Court, IN the
Pete Phillips case, to the effect that the order
of Judge Atocha appointing Judge Braughn
was null and void, and on the decision OF this
new question hang the lives Of two men. Bill
Williams with the aliases, and George Fen
derson, who are now in the Parish Prison
under sentence of death.
The circumstances which gave rise to the
question are these:
The Grand Jury who indicted both the
men was qualified on the 9th of April, Judge
Braughn filling the bench under appointment
of Judge Atocha. On the 10th of April Judge
Braughn was regularly commissioned by the
Governor. On May 8 the Indictment OF
Henderson was presented, and three days
after the indictment of Bill Williams was re-
turned into court.
They were subsequently tried and convicted
before Judge Braughn, sitting by virtue OF
his commission from the Governor.
The question of the legality Of the Grand
Jury appointed by Judge Braughn has not
been raised, and was not referred to IN the
decision Of the Supreme Court.
Henderson and Bill Williams never took an
appeal to the Supreme Court.
Now, what the Governor wants to know is,
was that Grand Jury illegal? and does the de-
cision of the Supreme Court have any effect
except on the case in which it was rendered,
or on other cases in which like points were
raised?
The Governor is anxious to know, as he has
issued warrant for the execution Of both
men.

The Nee Of Lovers.

The Washington correspondent of the Troy
Times writes 1t has been observed that
Mount Vernon is great as q resort for lovers.
Shade Of the immortal George, think of it !
Why should they 60 there, above all places
about Washington, is another one OF the un-
fathomable mysteries of love but go they
do, and numbers of them can be seen any
day wandering dreamily about, or sitting pen
svely under the over-arching boughs of those
grand old trees, gazing with vague, far-otf
look over the river.
Some, more practical, take lunch with
them. and gulp down alternately love and
lemonade, sentiment and sandwiches We
are accustomed to thinking OF Washington in
the grander situation of his life, at the cross
ing of the Delaware, or delivering up his
sword to Congress at Annapolis, and very
rarely think of him as one who could descend
to so trivial an every day affair as being in
love. All readers OF Thackerays charming
story, 1.-The Virginians," remember the
ridiculous dull into which he was almost led
by the jealousy of the Washington boys, who
thought him in love with their mother, and
took that method to prevent him from mar
rying her.
That. however is oil fiction, and may be as
wide of the mark as the account In the same
book of how Doctor Franklin, the little
postmaster from Philadelphia, rode with
Gen. Braddock from Williamsburg TO an estate
adjoining Mount Vernon "a small matter OF
100 miles and over, between breakfast and
dinner. Be all this as it may, George was no
doubt, at one time in his life, as silly spoon
as most OF Us, and perhaps sat moaning under
these very trees and making himself unhappy
over the self-same little widow who, as We all
know, did captivate him. Mount Vernon
now seems to be great resort for others be-
sides lovers, and the comfortable little steam
er which runs there from here is crowded
every day.
