The Mississippi Investigation.

-- The investigating committee on the al
legged outrages in Pike and Amite counties
Mississippi, have concluded their labors and
report that after diligent inquiry they find nc
obstruction to the performance of Collector
duties; that no resistance was offered to the
authority of Federal officials; that United
States Collector Redmond was advised on the
eve of election to leave the county, but the
hostility to him was personal, and not by rea
son of his office, and there was no pursuit
that the Mayor of Summit was drunk when
he signed the dispatch for troops, and that
the charge was false, and there was no occa
sion for troops.
Third Glass Mail Matter.
- It. is stated that the Post Office Depart
ment has new plan for postage on third class
matter. It proceeds upon the established fact
that merchandise cannot be carried for long
distances at the old rates restored by the bill
which has just passed the House, except at a
loss to the government. 1t is proposed there
fore to rearrange the classification Of third
class matter, dividing it into two classes fol
general purposes of transportation. From the
miscellaneous articles comprising the third
class, transient newspapers and periodicals
and the articles not strictly merchandise, are
to be taken and made a separate class. Upon
this class the postage is to be one cent for ev'
cry two ounces, irrespective of distance. The
remaining articles Of the third class, properly
denominated merchandise, are to be carried
according to weight and distance. The coun'
try is to be divided into circuits of five hun
dred miles, and the postage upon this mer'
chandiseto be arranged according to sliding
schedule, an additional half cent an ounce be-
ing required for each additional 500 mile cir
cult. The Postmaster General will recon-
mend this plan, and it is expected that it will
receive the attention of the Senate committee
on post Offices, which now has the above bill
before it.

WEDNESDAY, February 16.

In THE SENATE, the judiciary committee
reported on the bill to recast the judicial cir.
cults of the State, and so legislate Moses and
Whipper out of Office. The plan Of action
has been changed from that proposed in the
bill as at first introduced. The original bill
contemplated an entire reconstruction of the
circuits and new election, but it was found
that the newly elected judges did not relish
the risk of submitting to new election so to
get rid of the work of Black Thursday, and at
the same time to accommodate the rest OF the
Judges, bill has been fixed up which abolish
es the first and third circuits, and divides the
counties composing these circuits among the
others. This leaves six circuits, and also
leaves Moses and Whipper, who were elected
to the third and first circuits respectively,
without circuits. The plan recommended by
the committee is as follows: .,
"The first and third circuits are hereby aDollsn-
ed, and the State is divided into six circuits, as
follows: NJ,
field, Lexington, Richlsnd and Sumter snail con-
stitue the fifth circuit, and the Judge OF sald CIR
cult shall receive an annual salary OF four tnou-
stThe counties of Beaufort, Barnwell, Colleton,
Aiken and Orangeburg, shall constitute the sec,

HABEAS CORPUS.


At the January term of the Circuit Court
for this county, William G. Turner, white,
and Harvey Herndon, colored, were sentenced
by Judge Mackey to one years imprisonment
in the penitentiary for assault and battery.
Messrs. Hart & Hart, attorneys of this place,
have applied to Judge Carpenter for writ Of
habsas corpus with the view Of releasing the
prisoners from the penitentiary. The position
assumed by the attorneys is that the Circuit
Court had no original Jurisdiction in the
cases. Attorney General Melton, it is under

JOHN MILLER AND JUNIUS' LETTERS.
We were in error in stating that Mr.. John Mil
Ter, who died recently near Pendleton, was the
son of the original John Miller, who was print
or in the office Of Woodfall when the celebrated
letters of Junius were published. He was a
grandson, and his fathers name was also John
Miller. All of them were printers, too. The eld-
or Miller was charged with completely in publish
ing seditious pamphlets against the English gov
ernment, and sought refuge in the United
States locating about the beginning of the present
century at Pendleton, where he began the publi-
cation of Miller's Weekly Messenger which was
afterward changed to the Pendleton Messenger.
He was thought to possess information in regard
to the authorship of Junius' Letters but this was
never authenticated by him, and, if he knew the
secret, the identity of Junius safely deposited
in his faithful breast. We were informed not
long ago that portion of the press, upon which
the elder Miller first printed the Messenger, is
now in the hands of a citizen of Pendleton. 1t
ought to be forwarded to the Centennial EXPOSE
tion for it is said thatt is the identical press upon
which the letters of Junius were printed, which
Mr.. Miller brought over from England.
We clip the above from the Anderson In
teliqencer. The late John E. Grist, father of
the proprietor of the ENQUIRER, was an ap-
prentice under the elder Miller spoken of
above. Mr.. Miller often alluded, in vague
sort of way to having been connected with the
publication of the Junius letters; but if he
really did know anything about their author
ship, he was careful to divulge nothing. We
have often heard our father speak of Mr.. Mil
Ter in the above connection and as to the old
printing press, Mr.. Miller did not bring it
with him from England, though it was claimed
that it had been used by General Greene in
his campaigns for the purpose of printing dis
patches and orders during that eventful Pc
riod

- There is an objection to the common way
of boiling eggs which people do not under
stand. tits this the white under three min
utes rapid cooking becomes tough and indi-
gestible while the yolk is left soft When
properly cooked eggs are done evenly through
like any other food This result may be at
tained by putting the eggs into dish with a
cover as tin pail, and then pouring upon
them boiling water, two quarts or more to
dozen eggs, and cover and set them away from
the stove for fifteen minutes. The heat Of
the water cooks the eggs slowly and evenly
and sufficiently, and to a jelly-like consisten-
cy, leaving the centre fthe yolk harder than
the white, and the egg tastes as much richer
and nicer, as fresh egg is nicer than stale
egg, and no one will want to eat them boiled
after having tried this method once.

Warning to Opium Eaters.
PORTLAND. Mr.. NOV. ID. 1876


AT its August meeting, the attention Of
the Cumberland County Medical Society
was called to au alleged "Opium Anti.
dote," which a member had found to con-
tain morphine, and the undersigned were
appointed committee to obtain a guam
tltatiye analysis of the preparation
While this investigation was proceeding,
another so-called "Opium Antidote" was
brought to the notice of the committee,
and was subjected to a similar examina-
ton.
The first specimen, manufactured by
Mrs. j. A. Drollinger, Of La Porte, Indi-
ana, was analysed by Walk and Sullwell,
Chemists, New York City, who found it
to consist Of glycerino cOlOred with aniline
red and containing in solution 1888 per
cent, by weight of the sulphate Of morphia
about seven grains to the ounce.
rhe second was the preparation Of abr.
5. b. Collins, the great Narcologist Of
the Age" of La Porte, Indiana. The
analysis of this was made by DR.. Henry
Carmichael, Professor Of Chemistry in
Bowdoin College and ASsayer OF the State
of Maine, and differed from the preceding
only in the amount Of the sulphate Of
morphia shown to be present, namely 3D.
per cent. \ teaspoonful "a dose frequent
ly prescribed by the proprietOr) would
contain almost two grains Of the morphia
nearly twelve times the ordinary med
iciual dose.
The Society instructed the Committee
to publish the result of the Investigations,
in order that the large number Of opium
eaters in this country who are earnestly
striving to overcome their health-destroy-
ing habits may be sessonably warned
against these widcly-advertised nostrums,
which, while promising a safe and sure
cure, only serve to increase the appetite
for opium until it finally becomes uncon-
qucrable.
This circular is sent to every physician
and editor in the State of Maine, and to
many other persons Of prominence and IN
huence, WHO will be able TO give wide
publicity to these facts and thus help di
minish the prevalence of the opium habits,
which is yearly destroying great numbers
Of our people. Opium eating is usually
practised without the know edge of friends,
and the attempts at cure are often equally
secret therefore the information which
has been acquired concerning these dan
gerous preparations must be extensively
disseminated in order TO certainly reach
those for whose benefit only it twas sought.
VIII you assist in the work by making
known these facts in your neighborhoOd ,
