HEr. Hayes. Where is That
SbAfeE

The friends of Mr.. Hayes have been
CONCENTRATING themselves ever since
the Cincinnati Convention upon the
fact that nobody was able to say any
thing severe of their candidate. He
was the one man in the country against
whom no ugly personal charges could be
made. But here comes the Point
Pleasant mason county, West Virgin
ia,) Register with this mysterious par
agraph:
We wish to know of w. W. Harper,
late Chaplain of the Thirteenth West
Virginia Infantry, what General Ruths
erford B. Hayes did with that 800 and
gold watch intrusted to him GHarper)
by a soldier who had been condemned
to be shot during the war, and which
General Hayes made him (Harper) give
up under a military order to him
Oaayes)? We want to know if Hayes
has ever handed it over in accordance
with the request of the dying soldier?
Nj. Harper, you can enlighten the peo~
ple. Will YOU do so?

RiaOd Will Tell.

Speaking of Maj. Sessions intention to
support the Democratic nominees, the
~IIAnds5oro Democrat says:
Blood will show. Mai. Sessions, It's
true, fell into bad company for a short
while, but then Maj. Sessions is a white
man and a gallant Confederate, and
couldn't be kicked and cajoled into sup
porting measures concocted by villains for
the purpose of plumber. Maj. Sessions
couldn't be a Radical for the same reason
that he can't avoid being a Democrat, viz;
Because he is an honest man.
SAYS the franklin Bntner:
It's not the kind of company for Ses.
sions-so he draws ont and attaches nm
self to the ship of Reform. He was neveI
the material to make a Republican of.
He is honest in his professions, and a man
with nerve, who has moral courage enough
to back out OF anything that appears WRONG
to him. He is not Of the bnll-headeo
class, that persist in doing a wrong, aiter
discovering it to be a wrong.

.sFOr Opinions SaESc.'

The following article from the South
ern RepubLcdn. conceding this State
to the Democracy, is just a little richer
than any thing we have yet seen n the
Radical papers. Read it, and pray for
the man that wrote it. He deserves the
prayers of the nation, for his is a des-
perate case:
We repeat, if the nominees will take
our advice, they will make no canvass
at present. The Democracy have
shown their hands already, and evident.
ly intend to make this canvass, the way
they made the last. Thank God, we
can elect Hayes and Wheeler without
the aid of Mississippi, and we very
much doubt whether a Congressman or
two, is worth the blood of the Repnb-
licans it will cost to elect them. We
are tired of the slaughter of colored
men, and white men, for opinions sake.
The general government can not, OF
will not, give us the necessary. protec-
ton, and we must take IL choice-iiye
nominally as American citizens, with
out a voice in the selection OF our ON,
GERS, although largely in the majority
or give our lives for opinions sake.

Editor Br0ohdceR Ledqer:-
l see the statement that the man who
has been misrepresenting Copiah and
Claiborne counties in the Senate has
gone "to home" and that a Senator
will be elected to fill out his term.
The name Of Mr.. j. S. Mason, OF
Port Gibson, has been suggested. Mr..
Mason would creditably fill the Office,
but it seems to me that m sold val
horse of this county, who did as much
to achieve n Democratic victory last
year as any man in the State, is entitled
TO some consideration from our people.
I allule to that patriot and statesman,
don. Ben King. If people desire
to bestow the office upon Il gentleman
who would faithfully and honorably
represent them in the State Senate.
they could not nominate a more sulta-
BILE mar than Mr.. King. | do not know
that he would accept the office, but il
so, ] ask hat we show Il appreciation
of his past able service by nominating
and eiectjng him.
