TWEED hasn't yet arrived in the

days,
GovERyoR GROVER, (Democratic1 Of
Oregon, has been elected to the United
States Senate.
GEN. G. T. FURLoNa, Of Vicksbnrg,
sent the Savannah Sufferers 800. No
man in the State equals him in liberal
ity.
LAST week q colored woman in Char
lesion gave birth to five children--two
girls and three boys. They all died
except the woman, and she wants to
die.
The Republican State Executives
Committee have issued q lengthy ad-
dresa to the Republican voters of Mis-
sissippi. If it is worth noticing We
may refer to it at length next week.
THERE is said to be a blackjack tree
in Kansas that has been struck by light
ming eight times. That tree must look
now pretty much as the Republican par
ty will feel after the November election.
The papers are filled with the reports
of the He'll Gate Explosion. Now that
the gate to the internal regions is
exploded, the old sinners hope that the
regions will also soon be touched off.
THERE is a serious strike in Chicago
among the sailors in the harbor, and
vessels are suffering much deten-
ton. There are plenty of men who
would ship at the wages offered, but the
strikers refuse to allow them to go on
board, or force them after they are On
board.
THE New York Herald says a declar-
alton OF martial law in the South is
among the new probabilities, and is
now under consideration if the present
state of affairs become aggravated.
Put a nation under martial law be-
cause it r@esists a crowd of negro rioters.
That is Grant.
IF there is any yellow fevor in New
Orleans the papers Of that city are mute
in regard to it. We have no doubt
there are some cases there-no year
passes but some few cases develop
themselves in New Orleans-still there
can be be but little, if any, danger i'll
visiting the Crescent City now.
Some wag has remarked that Sit
ting Bull thinks there is no doubt
but that he can hold his position until
after the Presidential election. He
seems to think that the troops will be
used in the South to assist in carrying
the election for Hayes and Wheeler.
THE condition of South Carolina is q
disgrace to this country and an open
scandal upon civilization. A prominent
Republican of that State, Judge T. Fl.
Cooke, has just avowed his intention to
support Wade Hampton, nothwlthstand-
ing he is for Hayes, as it is the only
way to save the State from ruin"
UNDER the head, "Sunbeams," the
New York Sun says:
Near Summit, Miss, q man jumped
off a train to get his hat, and did not
get it, because he broke his neck.
There were no sunbeams in the trans
action to the unfortunate victim. but
on the contrary, all was midnight dark
mesa. The Suns classification is not
good.
MISSISSIPPI can boast n list of as ele-
CANT and excellent country papers as
any State in the Union Mobile Rege
fster.
And Mobile should rejoice to possess
one of the best dalies in the whole u
try, but should be ashamed of the sup
port she gives it. No truer index of the
business of q town can be had than
shown in the advertising columns of its
local page.
England has attempted to oct as
peacemaker for the Turks and Seryians.
The proposed basis fol peace is: First
unconditional armistice /; second. statu
quo ante bellum rs regards Servia and
Montenegro, with an extension OF terri
tory for the latter; third, a liberal pro-
vision for local autonomy for Her
zegovina, Bosnia and Bulgaria. A.
Belgrade special says England's basis
for paciieation will fall Though. The
Russians are determined to carry on
the war at any cost.
