the famous or rather infamous Ben.
Ben. thinks highly Of good grammar
aud wants to be perfect even when per-
verting the truth, and Josh glories in
being correct when be is incorrect But
we doubt very much that Butler ever
appealed to anybody to Vindicate him
against" the atrOCi:y of his accusers,
as Joshua did in his letter TO the editor
of the HERALD. In another instance
Joshua scorns to recognize the differ
ence between an adjective and an adj
verb. So much for his grammar. But
then we must not forget that he has
had years of association recently with
the grammatical Africans and thieves
of the Radical party, and therefore we
must not be astOnished at his success as
q grammaticaster. Mississippi Demo-
Gratis can we'll afford to be called gentle
and fascinating bull-dozerp, since they
have escaped from the clutches of the
dOcile and fragrant barbariaus aud the
Unsuitable thieves who compose the
Radical party, even If the latter do i'm
prove q mans grammar.
Mr.. Morris feels hurt st the belief
that IL he is In favor of q mans elec.
ton it is considered injurious to
his chances. This Is so, never
theless, and we are glad that
he thinks Gen. Humphreys too honest
for the Democratic party. Indeed, we
are reioiced that he thinks the Demo.
cratic party of Mississippi is dishonest
he thought differently, ii would be
time for the people to scrutiniZe the
record Of the party very closely. A
drunken man staggering along the
streets thinks everyone be meets il
drunk, and Joshua thinks the Demo
cratic party of Mississippi is dishonest
The people suspected BY the intoxi
Gated individual of being drunk, havt
no help for II. The Democratic party
of Mississippi will have 10 stand Josh
ua's charge Of dishonesty.
The assertion is made by Morris tina
Gov. Humphreys was never removed
from the Gubernatorial Office, but tina
"he refused 10 vacate the public prop
erty until he was actually elected by
Sergeant OF the Guard" He WASH
put out by the bayonet, he was Onl.
elected by the Sergeant Of the Guard
with bayonets. Is this Morris gram
mar, or is it some of his refined hon
esty, which he possesses BY the righ
T of discovery We acknowledge that "
can't see the difference between bein
removed by the bayonet, and being RI
moved by aSergeant Of the Guard wit
bayonets. Morris would have US belev
that Humphreys was usurper, that b
, had no right to hold over until his SUI
cessor was qualified. The Constiiutio
of Mississippi provided that he sboul
hold over until his successor was ap
, pointed, and he would have held owe
but for the following order:
