In the present condition of public opin-
ion, Morton's resolution to appoint a
Senate committee to inquire why and
how Ames and his carpet-bag crew were
beaten is Mississippi, is nothing less than
a gross impertinence. The honest men
of both parties have long been convinced
that the State was cursed by the meanest
and most despicable tyranny that ever
disgraced the soil of the republic; and
that until this tyranny was thoroughly
and completely broken, Mississippi could
hope for no permanent regeneration.

Congressional Districts.


In former times the Congressional Dis
tricts ran directly across the State from
east to west, but the Radicals, for party
purposes, gerrymandered the State so as
to consolidate the Democratic vote into
one district. We propose to return as
near as possible to the cid style districts,
and suggest the following as the proper
distribution of counties in the first two

THE SOUTH.
Her Numerical Strength and Pro-
dmcdiVe ReSOuFceS.

McComb City Intelligencer]
What is known as the South, in ordi-
nary parlance, VIZ: the late slave States,
is numerically and industrially the larg-
est of the great geographical divisions of
the Union.
Many people have deluded themselves
with the idea that the West was the con-
trolling political section in the Union.
Reference to the census will serve to
explode this error. The aggregate pop
ulation Of the Union, according to the
last official enumeration, is placed at
1855, 983 souls. Of this the Middle
and Eastern States combined furnish
$4,000, 600 souls. The West furnishes
$4,000, 900, while the South furnishes
14,000,000.
Political power is distributed in the
electoral college on the following basis

Forty-four votes to this Southern vote
in the electoral college would give this
section control of the Presidential cleo
ton. The addition of the negro to the
voting population has added immensely
to the representation Of the late slave
states in Congress, and in the electoral
college, so that class OF our people,
who have so bitterly deprecated the
Incorporation Of the negro element
into the body polite, will see that it IS not
without its compensating advantages.
Here and there, where districts have
been gerrymandered to promote partisan
ends, so as to give control to the ignorant
and incapable element, II may not have
worked we'll But these operations have
been confined to particular localities and
are exceptions, while the reverse has been
the rule. A large majority of the South
ern States will be represented in the next
Congress by men Of intelligence and ca
pacity, who, it is believed, will direct
their energies to the good work Of allay-
ing sectional animosities and OF promoting
the unity, honor and glory Of the com
mon country.
La productive resources and eXporta-
ton crops the South is even further ahead
of any one of the other sections than IN
population and numerical representation.
Her chief staple, cotton, enters into the
uses of all the civilized world, and larger
interests are dependent upon it than upon
any other article Of expectation to say
nothing of her developed, and still vaster
undeveIoped, resources, which need only
to be touched by the magic hand Of cap
ital and enterprise to spring forth into
life and activity.

Gail Hamilton ON Character.

When the good ship Schiller was
steered by a faithless Captain upon
the rocks and went down slowly to
her doom, a group of six people sat
in the pavilion, holding each others
hands, calm, praying, awaiting death.
One was girl, young, pettcd, sur
rounded with luxury, having "fed on
the roses and lain in the lilies OF
life;" and one was a scholar, trained
in many tongues, 4 woman Of science
and skill, with a purpose and a ca
reer; and one was a young daughter,
with life all before her; and one was
a wife and one was husband, with
their consecrated past. And there
they sat in the midst Of the night,
going down slowly into the shrouding
waters, calm, prayerful, conquering
death. And as the water rose around
them, they arose, still holding each
others hands. And SO, weak, help
less, they were engulphed in the
awful depths, but sublimely triumph
ant, they passed out into the unseen
universe. 1t is character that pre-
walls. What odds whether it is mu
sic or medicine or costume or color

woman's multitudinous drapery tha

A Wise Child.

a young single gentleman in
Leavenworth lately blushed and hung
his head in church. He was sitting
at his devotlons while the service
was in progress = very meek and
mild. A little four-year-old girl, with
a tongue in her head, spying him,
broke away from her preoccupied
mother, ran down the aisle snd sprang
into the young mans arms, exclaim-
ing, oh, mamma, here's papa!" in
so gleeful and ringing voice that
the whole church full of people were
startled. The mother and child we're
both we'll known to many present,
the former as dashing widow, and
the latter as an honest child of a
dead father. 1t was further known
that the young man had been paying
ardent attentions to the widow. The
devotional exercises were stopped
perforce, and the congregation in
dulged in burst of laughter, which
sounded foreign to the place. The
young mans devotion was knocked
out of him, and he left the sanctuary
in confusion. That sort of demon.
stration cannot fail to bring the pend
ing matrimonial matter to a speedy
crisis. The little girl evidently knew
her own future father.

Proud OF His Pastor.


An aged and excellent Christian
man, beloved by all who knew him,
was recently bewailing the fact that
his talented pastor. whom he much
loved, would persist in owning and
driving fast horses, and even claim
ed to have some of the best and fast
est in New England. Talking with
friend the other day, he said,
"Only think of it, he goes out to the
mildam and drives fast there, and
even races, and they do say worse
than that, he goes 10 the course and
drives his fast horses there. 1t is TOO
bad isn't it," 81 don't know about
that" was the response, ''but I know
he goes to the track, for saw him
there the other day, driving his IA
voritc horse against another fine ami
NAL" The friend then proceeded
to describe in some length a very
closely contested and interesting
race, dwelling upon the last portion
of it where the animals were about
even, when he was interrupted by
the inquiry, "Well, well how did it
end? Who beat? Who beat?"-
"Oh, our PASTOR" was the reply, and
description was given of the mag
nifcent closing squirt with which the
race was won. "Did he beat?' said
the now excited old gentleman, ''are
YOU sure he beat?" EYES," was the
reply. "Good. That's good!" he
exclaimed, as his face beamed with
ioy. ''That is almost too good to be
true. I know our pastor is true grit,
and wish he wouldn't race horses
But if he will race, I love to have
him win. l love him so well l want
to have him succeed in everything

A Frog for a Barometer.

At the Lafayette Park police station
they have a weather prophet which
eclipses Tice and all the barometers
in the neighborhood. 1t is a frog of
the genus Xyla, more familiar to the
general reader as the treetoad.-
Hunt, the superintendent of the park,
was mildly abusing his barometer
ono day for misleading him, when
the officer on the beat, an old from
tiersman, said he would show him a
trick. He took glass jar and threw
into it some stones aud couple of
inches of water. Then he whitfield
out little wooden ladder and put it
in the water. After some lively
scrambling q tree-toad was caught,
chucked in, and tin top screwed on.
The weather indicator was complete.
When it is going to be fair weather
that toad roosts ON the top round of
the ladder, solemnly blinking the
hours away. From twelve to fifteen
hours before n change to bad wea-
ther, "the general" as they call him,
begins to climb down, and a couple
of hours before a storm sets in he
squats himself OIL a stone, and, with
his head just above the surface of
the water, peers aloft at the coming
storm. Let the weather be changea-
BILE and shifting" as Old Probs
says, and the toad goes up and down
that ladder like a scared MILDLY
When it is fair and the toad roosts
aloft, his skin is of a light grayish
green. When the change comes the
skin turns black as tho toad goes
down the ladder, becoming jet
shining black by the time he reaches
the bottom. The fame of the toad
has spread through the Lafayette
Park neighborhood.

Romance Of Boston Horse Car.

ratherromantic incident occurred
recently in the prosaic city Of Boston
which has at least the merit of nov
city and is not lacking the poetic ele-
ment. A stranger entered horse
car, and was quietly seated in corn
er, when a lady with bright eyed
little girl of three years entered and
took seat next to him. The child,
wishing to watch the street sights,
stood up between the two. Mr.. A.,
noticing that the child was playful,
INDUCED in little quiet familiarity,
and at length remarked as, the car
passed round curve, "don't fall
baby, papa would be sorry" The
lady's face, which had worn rather a
smiling expression, changed at once,
but before he recovered his senses,
seeing the faun pas he had made, the
little girl exclaimed: "Papa dead"
The position was embarrassing, but
he turned the conversation by cas-
ual remark. The child, however,
turning her blue eyes upon him, said
in the most arllcss manner: "You
dot any little dlrls?" "No," replied
the gentleman; 81 had a little girl
once, but she and her mother are both
dead" The mother of the child was
now more confused than ever, but
when her eyes met those Of the gen.
tleman there was sympathetic ex-
preston perceptible. The lady left
the car, and though no word had
been exchanged between them, the
fact that one was widow and the
other a wi1ower was known to both.
The favorable impression was mutual,
fora chance meeting few days after,
was availed of by the gentleman to
offer an apology for what might be
considered rudeness on his part in
speaking to the child, and the lady's
excuses for the forwardness of her
little girl led to an acquaintance,
which will in a few weeks, if reports
speak the truth, result in an alliance
which will unite the mother and child
to most excellent husband and fond
father, who holds an honorable posi-
ton in a western city.
