Well Answered.

The southern states are good for one
hundred and twenty-seven electoral
votes, without which there will be no
election by the Democrats of their Pres
ident. 1t will only require an order
from the war department to swing at
least fifty of these votes-those of Ar
kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama,
and North Carolina-back again to the
Republican line.-New York Herald.
We believe our cotemporary is friend
of the South therefore we will not accuse
it of being in the interest of Grant or of
threatening us to advance his thiT d-term
project. But the Herald and all the
North-both people and prcsses-may
as well understand that We know our
rights in the Union, and knowing dare
maintain them; and that any order from
the war department tnat curtails the free
dom or endangers the liberty Of the peo-
pie of Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi
and North Carolina, will be an order
equally as effective in and to the same
extent dangerous to New York, Ohio,
Pennsylvania, or Illinois. The day that
sees such an order issued will also see
the South solid for the Union, standing
ollOuluSl W eHOuIuSL Will TIE men VI the
West, the East and the n orth for the per-
petuity of the republican institutions.
The Herald must understand thatiwhile
we are determined to prosecute and pun
ish the Radical thieves who have dis
graced the Union, we are also thoroughly
in earnest in our protestations of fealty
to the 'tfag of our fathers" We do not
fear to do our duty because Of threats
from the dsgraced head OF the war de-
partment. Secure in our integrity of
purpose, we shall go on and do that
duty impeach Ames, and, mayhap, be-
fore We get through, impeach Grant him
self cessfully.-Memphis Appeal.

THE Times is exercised about the
whereabouts of Senator Mcclure. Well
where is Mcclure? His disappearance
is almost as mysterious as that Of Mygatt's
during ection-postponing-special
session of the Legislature, when every
Radical Senator had to have guard of
two or three men around him to keep
him in his seat.

THREE members of the Cabinet Zone
certain are to be impeached of high
crimes and misdemeanors, involving
bribery, peculation and the like. Did
anybody ever hear of such a party !?
Did anybody ever hear of such an Ad-
ministration?

IT will require great deal of thunder
and lightning to purify the atmosphere
of the corruptions with which Radical
misrule has tainted it. Nothing but a
sweeping change of administration will
reclaim the government of the United
States from lasting disgrace.

BELKNAP opposed a reduction of the
army. 1t would have reduced the post
suttlerships and interfere with his trad

ious to strengthen the navy, because it
would have increased the number of his
"phat takes"

DAVIS may have taken bride and
deserve removal from, and Disqualified

of iniquity.

The Administration pretended to be
very anxious to punish Belknap through
the courts, but it has taken the precau-
ton to let Marsh, the principal witness,
escape.

We take great pleasure in extracting
the following from the editorial cores
pondence of the Raymond Gazette:
The State capital is quiet and order
ly city. During all my two months stay
here, I have witnessed but single vio-
lent infraction of the laws, and the par
ties to that, believe, are residents Of
another county. My public duties have
required me, often, to make trips through
the heart of the city at early and late
hours in the night, and always with the
same. impression, viz: an orderly and
strictly quiet and well-behaved city. SO
thoroughly impressed am | that what |
say is reliable, that, we're it necessary,
would not fear, at any hour OF the night,
without lamp, guide or weapon, to make
a complete circuit of the city. can say
this for but few of our Southern cities,
and whether it is due here to the supe-
rior morals of the people, or to the eff
cheney of the police regulations, | am
unable to say. Perhaps both are entitled
to the credit.
And to-day visited 1.-THE silent city
of the dead" A mile, perhaps, north
of my boarding house, l found the Gene
terry. / loitered, alone, among the hum
bic tomb stones, and alone | admired the
grand works of art. On the distant side,
/ found the Richardson Monument" a
noble work of art-of pure Italian mar
ble-and overlooking the entire grounds.
1t was erected by our friend, Col. +.
Richardson, to mark the burial place Of
his family. 1t cost, am informed, Sl5,
900. Near it is very modest column,
marking the resting place of A. G. Nc
Mutt, once Governor of Mississippi, and
the author of the celebrated reputation
platform of 1871. The last time | saw
Gov McNutt was in Raymond in lS45.
A furious contest for the u. 5. Senate
was then going on between him and
Gov. H. S. Foote. Their speeches on
that occasion to the people, in the old
court house, were intensely personal and
terrific. Foote beat McNutt III the argu-
ment, and beat him for the Senate, and
he died in 1913. And near the Kich-
ardson monument and the modest shaft
marking Gov. McNutt's resting place,
l noticed an humble aud inexpensive
block marking the dwelling place Of
"OUR WILLIE" No other inscription
marks the block 1t is beneath a pine
tree, beautiful little fower-garden sur
rounds it, the work, no doubt, of fond
mothers hands and heart. As | stood
and admired the artlessness and simplic-
ity of 'Our Willie's" surroundings, a
March blast swept along and the pine
tree gave forth its melancholy song. /
thought of the Raymond graveyard and
its pine trees, and "Our Willie" whose
mortal remains rest there. G.. w. III.

Mr.. EDITOR: Is there any good reason
why tie profits and honor of reporting the
decisions of the Supreme Court should be
enjoyed by Messrs. Harris and Simrall,

the position? INQUIRER.

duced, or such as be should have
been permitted 10 produce. Boys
should not DO permitted 10 yield
their reason To morbid sentiment.
We are told 10 initiate the Divine
Master in forgiveness The Divine
Master" never forgave, nor counseled
forgiveness without repentance.
There is no other master who used
such severe inVectivns against wrong
doors. The weakening spirit of sen
timentality which makes good give
way to bad is the bane of our gener~
alton. 1t is doubtful, also, whether
it is safe for boys to learn The use of
sophistlcal arguments. Many of our
leading men, by use of such practices
have so acquired the habit of accom-
plishing their ends through tricks
and sophistry, that even 10 good
causes they have DO faith in and do not
kno n how TO apply proper reasonir &.
Above al boys should be trained
not TO mske statements lacking truth
1t is not true. for instance, that there
was avoidatl. suffering of rebel
prisoners in our northern prisons.
They bad as careful treatment as
children woold get in their own
household. OF course there was SUI
ferirg, but all was done for them
that could be done. None of them
starred. Miss Lou Barber was the
next speaker and her arguments
were good enough for an editorial
leader, AMI Henry Rothschild and
Miss w, on her second appearance,
made as good speeches as some of
those made in Congress on the same
subject The jurors were Rev. Eaton
and Messrs c. J. hyde and J Fl.
Howe They decided that the young
ladies proved jeff Davis unworthy OF
amnesty.
Miss Juliet Meyer read the literary
paper, which was, in most part,
splcy and otherwise entertaining.
A dialogue by Messrs Geo. Clarke,
Harry elise, AdoIph Schreiner and
Oscar Lewis was next, which pro-
duced healthy laughing. Master
Frank Nathan made comic dec lam
alton, which was also an adipose
devtl per The exercises contllde d
with q clownish song, which in the
school room, was out of place. Tho
teacher did not know it was on the
programme and made proper apology
to the audience. We believe the
Lyceum ia doing good.
