June flowers are blooming,
And swallows are skimming,
And insects are humming.
And fishes are swimming.
Mark yonder the swirl
just under a suarl
OF roots, where that girl
Picks shells from the mari.
IT'S trout, two FOUNDER!
See him leapi what a wonderi
But the girl!-oh, confound her!
Waves the willows asunder;
And dabbling with splashes,
Among the wet bushes,
A skitf she unlashes,
And from the bank pushes.
Up and down by the willows,
To and fro on the shadows,
Everywhere with her shrill ''Ohs!'
She follows the swallows.
The trouts hear the rumpus
Kicked up by this grampus;
She's managed to stump us,
And sadly to damp us.
Goodbye to the river,
Put the rod in its cover;
From such girls us deliver!
Our fishing is over.

Making Nominations.

A correspondent asks our opinion of
the plan of making nominations by what
is called primary elections. There are
grave objections to it, the most serious of
which is that the choice is liable to be
made by opposition votes. The election
is necessarily informal, and it can be
guarded by no restrictions which will pre-
vent outsiders from debating the candi-
dates; nor INSCRIPTIONS men from vo-
ting as often and as early, and at as many
boxes as they may think proper.
The old system of nominating by mass
or delegate conventions, mostinvariably
worked we'll. 1t was the favorite mode
of the two old parties, and was univer-
sally adopted by the Democracy in the
days when it was pure and undefled, and
when victory invariably attended it. The
public instinct--or judgment, or what
ever else you may call it, unerringly as
the needle to the pole, points to the right
man for a leader when the people are
really in earnest. The primary election
system, as it is called, is an innovation
which we have not seen the need of.
Better stick to the old landmarks.

MIN. roRDHOFF"s LETTERS.

On our first page, we copied the whole
Of very able letter from Mr.. Nordhof
to the N. Y. Herald, on the condition of
affairs in four of the Southern States,
viz: Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi,
Alabama While there are some minor
errors in the paper, the Well-informed'
impartial Southern reader will admit
that the statements contained in It are In
the main correct. He states that the
new order of things has been accepted
in the South; that no intention exists to
revive the issues settled by the war, and
he describes with perfect truth, and with
out particle of exaggeration, the evils
of carpet-bag rule in these States. How
the adventures Selling the opportunity
which the Southern people, under the
advice of Andrew johnson, lost, TO be-
come the guides of the negroes, and how
they have played upon the ignorance, Gre
dulity and evil propensities of that race,
and made subservient instruments of
them to establish rotten and corrupt adj
ministrations fer their own political ad-
vancement and personal enrichment
and how with unparalleled cunning they
managed to obtain the use of the federal
soldiery to execute their cunninglY de-
vised plans, is faithfully chronicled by
Mr. Nordhoff To get these things be-
fore the Northern public through the
medium of journal SO influential and
widely circulated as the n Y. Herald,
we can well afford to submit to the stric-
lures (some of them unfair which the
writer has thought proper to indulge upon
the course of the Southern whites
What the reconstructed States want the
country at large to understand is that
there is no occasion for federal interior
ence in the South-that the carpet-bag
governments, of Ames in Mississippi,
among the rest, are essentially and thor
oughIy rotten and that the true way to
the restoration of peace and order in
/ these distracted communities, is to per-
NIT them to manage their own affairs
undisturbed by outside influence. The
change wrought by the war are acquiesced
in. New issues should occupy the thougts
of the people. Any bayonet interference
is unrepuDlican and destructive of the
peace and welfare of both races.

The TaxeS-WiII She People Pay
Them?
Kinds County Gazette,1

Kinds County Gazette.1
Mr.. EDITOR: The honest press of the
State is very properly keeping their rea-
ders reminded that they will have this
serious question to answer before the
close of the year, and from the manner
of its being put, it is quite obvious that
only one answer is expected to be given.
This question and answer should have
been had last year, but as everybody
waited for everybody else to speak, the
time was allowed to pass by without any
action having been taken, although every
taxpayer in the country, so far as | know
and believe, would gladly have refused
to pay, could he have had full assurance of
being sustained by q sufficient number to
make his position respectable. 1t was
weak thing on the part of our people to
submit to the robbery last year, but it
would be worse than a weakness to sub
NIT to it again as Ames and his gang.
emboldened by our forbearance, (Which
they may well take for cowardice,) now
essay the role of the fool In the fable OF
the goose and the golden eggs. Are we
willing to be squeezed?
1t would be perfectly idle and no less
insulting to the understanding of every
man in the State, to offer an argument
or speculation upon the objects of GER
tain acts of the late wretched Legislature
of Mississippi. That they were known
to be unconstitutional at the time and
utterly repugnant to the traditions of our
people, / will Tot take the trouble to
affirm. But they will be enforced never
theless, if submitted to. It was bad
enough to be robbed under the forms of
law, but is there man 80 meek as to
stand it outside of those forms Can it
be within the contemplation of any sane
man to pay dollar to any appOintee of
Ames as Tax Collector His recent
would not be worth the ink that recorded
it. His deed for the DELINQUENT lands
would be worth no more.
Ames is now Tax Collector, all but
the labor. This will be undertaken by
his tools; and, if they get anything, will
hand it over TO their master, according
to contract. Should their success prove
to their impudence. a Ger
tain carpet-bag will leave the State, (and
in a hurry, too) in more robust health
than when it entered. ID.

HOisGed by His Own Petard.

We learn from the Natchez Democrat
that U. S. Marshal Lake has served
notification of the u S. District Court
on l.. S. Bronn, ex-United States Mar
shall, to appear before said Court to an.
swer to a suit in said Court, brought by
the United States Government to secure
from said Bronn or his sureties the sum
of seven thousand dollars which the gov
eminent claims was drawn by said Bronn
in his capacity as Marshal, without war
rant of law, and upon improper proceed
ings.
This suit, the Democrat states is for
moneys spent by the said Bronn in ille-
gally instituting proceedings against per-
sons, and bringing them from their homes
at great distance for preliminary trial
and investigation. For these and other of
fences it is known that Bronn was dis
charged from Office and he is now prose-
euted by the governn ent for the moneys
thus squandered.
The hardship was still more oppressive
upon our citizens, who were put to great
expense at the instance, and to crafty
the cupidity of this law-defying official,
who has been beautifully hoisted by his
own petard and has been brought to
realizing sense of the fact that it is one
thing to hunt Bruin and another thing to
be hunted by him. For coming to the
relief of our citizens, and putting the gov
ernment, with its keen-sighted detectives
on the track of Bronn AMI his deputies,
we happen to know that they are mainly
indebted 10 the vigilance of Hon. G. C.
Mckee, Representative from this Dis
trict.
