A CANDIDATE IN TROUBLE
a Hint from n Very wicked Corre>
spOudent.

The Republican candidate for Sheriff
in 1allabusha county has TO face a gi-
gantic scandal. Ii may overcome him.
he Is white man, Boswell by name.
From local paper | learn that he is
accused of the high crime and mistle-
meanor of remaining over night at the
home of colored man, Booth, post
master at Water Valley. The paper
contains a cut representing the caudi-
date for Sheriff asleep at the postmast-
er's house. II is the great event of the
campaign up there. The local paper is
now quite sure that "this disciple of
Charles Summers debasing theory of
social equality will not get single re-
spectacle white vote in the county,
Mr.. Booth, the postmaster, hastens
to deny that Boswell stayed all night
at his house. He Is out in card, in
which he states that the report is err
roneous in every respect, and was only
done, l think to injure Mr.. Boswell 3
prospects for sheriff.
Witnesses are called who affirm that
Boswell acknowledged that he slept in
Booths bOuse, and that he was even
so debased as TO attempt TO justify
himself in so doing.
Now, il Boswell, instead of lodging
at Postmaster Booths house, if the
charge be true, had from time to time
become the father OF negro children
by various negro women through the
country, that trifling circumstance
would not be urged against him, nor
would 1t lose him votes for Sheriff.
This sort of thing is so common that
it has attained degree of respectable
| ty. But to eat a meal at a resne ctable
colored mans house oh. that Is dread
ful! 1t is social equality. 1t is a crime
against society.
Now, which of these is the best spe-
cimen of equality? Which the ten.
derest association
There is something like inconsisten.
cy observable here AS to these matters
| The jewel of consistency is rare
jewel IN Mississippi-scarcer than golC
coin. If our return to specie payment
depended upon it we would be ever
lastingly infiated.-H. V. r. in Gin

The Western Expositor, Asheville,
North Carolina, gives al account Of
five children being consumed in the
burning of "A residence in Transylva-
mia, North Carolina.
A new way to quiet noisy boys has
been discovered. 1t is simply 10 tell
them that there is little lump of gold
right in the center of the hind hoofs
of every live mule, which can be easily
taken out with pen-knife.
The people in the neighborhood of
War Gap, Hawkins county, have built
a fine house to be used for worship and
also as a school house. Mr.. A. T.. Gal
braith has been employed by them to
teach this fall and winter.
Robert Kindrick attempted to shoot
James White, when the latter knocked
the pistol down, the charge going into
the ground, and then knocked Kin
drick down next. This occurred on
Livingston Creek, in Scott county, on
last Monday.
We learn that movements are on
foot looking to the revival of work at

Grants Kindliness.

There is another lady 1 have met
recently who says: "The President
has saved my eyesight." She is the
widow of a Confederate officer. Her
husband was an old army officer and
acquainted with Gen. Grant before the
war The remembrance of the old
bond of friendship was still strong, and
secured for the widow position In the
Patent-office several years ago. The
fine tracing-work upon which the
ladies are employed in this Cffice Is ex-
tremely trying to young, strong eyes,
but fatal to those that are weakened by
tears of anguish. The best oculists
warned Mrs. General S. that total
blindness would be the result of a con-
tinuance OF her occupation. She tried
in vain to impress those in authority
over her of the impending danger.
Not only her own support depended
on the health of her eyes but the care
and education of young son. Day
after day as she left the Office, she
would go to her room, and with band
aged eyes lay on the bed, and try TO
pierce the future that seemed fraught
with an old age of utter helplessness
and dependence. When the President
returned mere TWO "SthS Hb'i snd
sought him, AMI asked thai would
interfere. She was surpri-' Il at his
ready response. "A note from him pro-

THE COLLECTIONS.
Opinions Of the Democratic Press.
rom the Chattanooga Times.l

rom the Chattanooga Times.l
Any party which appeals to the ras-
cality of human nature must fail.
Men respond with pride and alacrity
to appeals to their better impulses, but
fear to be seen answering to entreaties
to prove themselves dishonest. This
is the lesson of the elections of 1875.
From the Knoxville Press and Herald
The recent tidal wave that has so
effectually submerged the hopes and
expectations of those who felt that
Providence had given them mission
to run the Democratic party, has at
least resulted in one blessing even to
those of us who were slightly moisten-
el by its spray. 1t has efectually
washed overheard vast amount Of
defective Presidential timber that for
some time past has been numbering
the decks of the good old ship and
consigned it to the depths of the politi-
cal ocean.
From the Memphis Avalanche.
In the North the tide which flowed
from the Republican party has turned
back again. The Pennsylvania Dem
ocrats yielded to the pressure from
Ohio, and adopted platform which
was construed by their speakers and
presses to demand initiation. After the
Ohio disaster, but too late, they called
halt. Pennsylvania, like Ohio, has
fallen a sacrifice to the initiation mad
hess.
From the Cour,er-Journal

not yet spent its force. Though Mis-
sissippi seems to be redeemed, the
opposition have lost elsewhere. To
what extent those losses prevail, we
can not yet ascertain. The result,
however, shows what widespread dis
aster may follow the miserable blum
! ders or the worst treachery of a few
Inarplots. 1t was the French custom
to disgrace defeated generals. The
policy, though vigorous, shielded the
army against treason or rincompetency
1t would be well for political organiza.
tions to treat with similar severity the
charlatan who, without capacity, sets
himself up rs a leader in critical times
and makes the success of great move
ment the sport of his imbecility, his
small vanity, or smaller resentments
The Democratic party should now
heave these Jonahs overheard with &
stone about their necks' They should
be drowned like so many blind kit
tens.

HERE'S RICHNESS.
brigham Young ON the sisters Runfes,
Bows, Puns and TrimminEs.
lsan Francisco Chronicle. 25th.l

San Francisco Chronicle. 25th.I
Brigham Young preached on the fashions
last Sunday, and here is an extract from his
sermon: Nov, then, leaving the useless
things which the brethren use-tea, coffee,
tobacco, beer, whisky, etc.-I will allude to
some that the sisters use and wear, such as
tea, coffee, snuff, tobacco, opium, and then
the rufiles, bows, putis, trimmings, and this,
that and the other they wear on their dresses
that are useless. What shall we do in regard
to these things7 My senses tell me that the
children of Zoin should forsake every need
less fashion and custom that they now prac-
tice. My wives dress very plainly, but
sometimes ask them the utility of some OF
the stripes and puffs which / see on their
dresses ] remember asking a lady this
question once, and inquired if they kept
the bed-bugs and flies away. Well, II they
do that they are useful but if they do not,
what use are they None whatever Now,
some ladies will buy a cheap dress, say
cheap calico, and they will spend from five
to fifteen dollars worth of time In making
it up, which is wasting so much OF the sub
stance which God has given them on the
last of the eve, and which should be de-
voted to a better purpose, have had an
observation made to me, which will re-
late have never done it, but | believe l
will now. 1t has been said to me, Yes,
Brigham, we have seen ladies go to parties
in plain homemade dresses but every man
was after the girls who had on hundred
dollars worth of fol-de-rol, and they weuld
dance with every woman and girl except
the one in plain dress, and they would let
her stop by the wall the whole evening".
Ii may be in some cases, but should not be.
1t adds no beauty to a lady, in my opinion,
to adorn her with fine feathers When
look at Il woman l look at her face, which
is composed of her forehead, cheek, nose,
mouth and chin, aud like to see it clean,
her hair combed neat and nice, and her eyes
bright and sparkling; and If they are so,
what do l care what she has on her head,
or how or of what material her dress is
made? Not the least in the world. II
woman is clean in person and has on nice,
clean dress, she looks n great deal better
when washing her dishes, making her but
ter or cheese or sweeping her house, than
those who, ms l told them in Prevo, walked
the streets with their spanper jibs flying.
1t adds no beauty to lady or gentleman
to have great many frills on their dresses
or coats; beauty must be sought in the ex-
press ion of the countenance combined with
neatncss and cleanliness and graceful man
ners. All the beauty which nature bestows
is exhibited, let the dres be ever so plain,
if the wearer of it be only neat and comely.
Do not fine feathers look well2 Yes, they
are very pretty, but they look just as we'll
on these dolls, these fxed-up machines
which they have in the stores, as anywhere
else they certainly add nothing to the
beauty of a lady or gentleman, as far as

THE ONLY WAY FOR DEMOCRACY
TO WIN.
Elect IA Hard Money Speaker of the
House,
From the New York Tribune.l

lLlOLL NAS %NNH AVN +AA"AASs4
The Democratic party will be beaten
in Ohio in October next, and then de-
feated inevitably in November, unless,
prior to that time, it has put the money
question out of the fight. But it can
settle the money question this Winter
only by electing as Speaker of the
House an incorporating hard
money Democrat, who will so form
his committees as to secure the passage
of measure for speedy resumption of
specie payment. A hostile committee
can prevent the success of such bill.
A Speake like Wood or Randall would
form a committee hostile to resunp-
tion. Any attempt to settle the money
question on any other basis will be de-
feated by the Republican majority in
the Senate, or by the Presidents veto.
If that question remains open, Democ-
racy can not name a candidate who
can carry Ohio in October and New
York in November. Without both
States Democratic candidate will be
! beaten.
