New Orleans Democrat.

pie
New Orleans Democrat
The present friendly, though ami
mated, contest over the gubernatorial
nomination now being carried on In
Mississippi by the friends of the dis
tinguished gentlemen who are consider.
ed as deserving Of the position, has
excited lively interest IN adjacent
States.
As in close proximity to its scene we
witness this cumulative struggle, we eau
not but feel an interest in its result
almost, If not quite, as deep as that
felt by the participants therein though
II is with due deierence to the mass of
intelligent voters in our sister State
that we give expression to our thoughts
In the matter.
The present indications seem to point
to the probable nomination Of ex.Gov.
Benjamin G. Humphreys, whose Gains,
though not ardently urged, press
themselves forward with unusual force.
Mississippi, though fortunate in having
sooner than Louisiana aud South
Carolina thrown OF the oppressive
shaCkles which bound her liberties and
thwarled all her noble efforts at re-
covering from the devastating ills of
war, has yet much to be done for her
tha! craftsmanship can do aud execu-
tive hrmness work out before she can
be restored to that place Of power and
wealth among the States which belongs
10 her. Many of her citizens are IN.
doubtedly qualified with a sufficient
knowledge of the science Of statesman
ship and with political wisdom to sue
cessfuly lead her back TO that position,
but 1t 10 questionable whether any one
OF them Is more conspicuous for these
qualities than their gallant soldier and
Ex-Governor, who was brutally forced
from the executive chair by Federal
bayonets and thrust aside to make
room tor the New England adveuturer,
Ames--the fellow who was imposed
upoN the State to crafty sectional vim
dict!veuess, TO please his bestial father
in-law, Butler,and to give him . fail
opportunity for plumber while he &C.
complished his aim Of keeping uE
turmoil aud strife as capital for BIZ
party'a campaign purposes.
Gen. Humphreys, like Nichols and
Hampton, we believe, was educated a
West Point. Like them, during lht
short term OF his executive power
he evinced the hrmness Of char
acicr require f,r the efiieieu
discharge Of his duties, aud hi
administration. 10 judge from il
earliest ac's, W nd have proved o
vast benefit to tae State which place,
Tie reins az power IN his hands, hat
it not been nj pped in the bud by Fed
era, usurpAtior.

Killed by the Stag Of q Zee.


Cardiff NALL
A distressing event occurred at Sgd
ney on Friday week, and was the sub
iect of coroners inquiry on the fol-
lowing day, viz: the death of Harry
Lsrkham, Sr., a retired farmer, from
the sting of a bes. 1t appeared from
the evidence given before Mr.. n. r.
Carter, divisional coroner, that about
4 AS o'clock on the day named, Mr..
Larkham was In his sons garden, and,
on passing in front Of the beehives, re-.
ceived sting upon the temple. The
old gentleman at once returned to the
house, and asked a young man named
Lloyd to fetch the blue bag, which was
done, and the liquid blue was applied.
Lloyd, likewise, at the request Of Mr..
Larkham, took an egg from his pocket
which he had gathered from q nest.
Upon sitting down in the yard, Mr..
Larkham had tainted, and was bathed
with vinegar and water. This, how
ever, proved q powerlesS restorative,
death supervening in a quarter of an
hour after the sting. DR.. Gimblett was
called at the inquiry, and stated that
he had been sent for, but deceased died
before he could reach the house. He
had since examined the body, and
found a wound upon the right temple
inflicted by a bee. This It was which
caused death. Upon this testimony the
Jury returned their verdict.

YESTERDAY morning we had call
from Mr.. John H. Savage, Of Now Or
leans, who made requisition upon US
for como old exchanges to furnish read
ing matter for the adventurous party
which be represented. Mr.. Savage, in
company with Chas. Quinn and Frank
Wright, had come all the way from
Yankton, Dakota Territory, in q ski1f,
a distance of 4,200 miles, and the party
had stopped here to lay in some sup
plies. They were returning to New
Orleans, which city they left last Fall,
on prospecting trip 10 the Black Hills,
and were in Deadwood City all last
Winter, Mr.. Savage reports that only
quartz mining will pay in the Black
Hills, and this requires very expensive
machinery, consequently those who
went 10 the Hills with little capital, ex-
pecting to engage In plscer mining,
have been disappointed, aud hundreds
are starving. Flour is $50 per barrel,
bacon 45 cents per pound, aud other
provisions aud merchandise are pro.
poriionately high. VIM. Quinn, who
was one of the party and printer, only
came az far on the return as Jefferson
City, No, where he obtSined work on
the Tribune. Mr.. Savage and compan-
ions have been travelling since the 10th
of May, and look little the worse for
aun.burn.

PRESIDENT ANDREW WHITE of Cor

in Europe, writes from Munich that
he is cheered aad strengthed by the
evidence OF popular advancement
everywhere manifested: "Our good
Americans are wretchedly mistaken In
supposing that the only or the main
progress Of the world during the last
twenty years has been made on one
side OF the Atlantic. In many matters
of improvement we could learn pre-
cious lessons from England, Germany,
Switzerland aud even Italy. LII schools,
