We had thought that Packer stood
alone, grand, gloomy and peculiar, without
peer or parallel in his own sphere of
action. But we are mistaken. The in
vestigations at Washington have revealed
almost his exact counterpart in the per-
son of one Lilly, professional trader in
cadetships. Hays, scallawag Con-
gresham from Alabama, was charged
with having sold West Point cadetship,
to which his own State was entitled, to a
New Yorker, for three thousand dollars.
a Committee was instructed to investigate
the charge. Proof was made that the
money was paid. The widowed mother
testified to the fact, and she and her
hopeful both testified that they had no &C
quaintance with Hays previous to the
purchase of the cadetshp. When the
latter called upon Hays at Washington,
after the terms had been negotiated, he
was instructed to proceed to Alabama at
once-sojourn there couple of weeks
report himself from ChOctaw county, of
that State, and enter the Academy. This
was after the most approved plan of car
pet-baggery. Itpossessed him of the req.
uisite qualifications of an Alabama repre-
sentative under the delectable system OF
carpet-bag morals which have prevailed
in the South.i
The case was clear, therefore, that the
place had been bought; the money was
paid and all the arrangements were per-
feeted but just at the nick of time, Lilly
makes his appearance on the witness
stand and swore that he made all the
negotiations, and was the sole beneficiary
of the bargain. Hays conferred the APP
pointment out of tender regard for him,
without knowing the parties, and as ig-
norant of the pecuniary part of the bust
ness as the babe that will be born in the
year of our Lord 1899
There are some slight divergences in
the cases o. Packer and Lilly, but in the
main there is a strong resemblance
They have both shown the same MARTYR
like willingness to become scape-goats-
the same heroic fidelity to friendships
the same disposition to traffic in unaw-
full things. In a word, they are noble
pair of brothers

THE present Radical State administra-
ton started out with great flourish OF
trunpets. Two years have scarcely
passed and two of its members have been
impeached of high crimes and rendered
their resignations-one after conviction,
the other before. Who will now say the
people were not justified in the herculean
efforts which they put forth to overthrow
it al the late election?

The Rev. A. B. Kendig says to the

tight duel, or stand in the, prize-ring,
for pugilistic pummeling, is courage of
which the horned bovine and the snarl-

wrong and expose it, fashionable sin
and withstand it, personal weakness
and overcome it, powerful temptation
and resist it, is tina. high order of cour-
age of which only the truest man is ca.

EDS. CLARION: The Judicial District bill,
as 1t passed the House, gives great dissatis-
faction to the people of South Mississippi.
ri heIe can SURELY be no good reas why
Niarke, Lauderdale and Kemper should be
auueo 10 this District. The high water has
Ieeehaiy brought representative men from
al tne interior counties to this point, and
tnere IL put one feeling-that of disappro-
pation. II does seem that when our votes
xre manu w are considered; but when
anything else IL 10 be done we are entirely
overlooked and ignored. Please try and
prevent this outrage from being consum-
mated.
Yours truly,

WASHINGTON, Friday Jan. 7, 1876.
The unanimous nomination of Representative
Lamar for United States Senator by the Democratic eau
Gus OF the Mississippi Legislature at Jackson yesterday
nsures his election OF lie is in Mississippi
and Will not return for several days TO resume bis seat
In the House Mr.. Morton and his bloody yshrt parsana
hase no idea OF admitting Mr. Lamar and Mr. hortons
object in introducing his Mississippi investigating resolu
ton was 10 deprive the Democrats and Conservative Leg
slaure of Senator place OF Mr. AlcoIn. whose term
expires March g. 1877. II by investigation Mr.. Morton
can show by the usual class OF testimony In such cases
that there unfair election for members OF Con
rcs and the Legislature, the Senate may refuse TO
admit Mr.. Lamar especially if the Republicans shall
rctain their majority in the Senate. 1t Is said by his
party friends that Mr. Morton has already testimony or a
certain character sufficient for the present senate ana
that all he the authority 10 submit II. There Ia
no doubt long debate will arise when his resolu-
ton up for action, when the intentions OF h.s
party viii Do exposed.
