Beating the Political TOm.TOm

The Artillerist in the Armory Of
Truth has deserted his cannon, picked
up Chinese tom-tom, and Is now en-
gagged in the delightful aud exhilcratiug
occupation OF attempting to frighten
people. He sees visions OF what Fur
long will do when he gets in the Seu-
ate, He seems 10 forget that Furlong
has been In the Senate 10 these many
years. He has found out that Furlong
had q Senator spirited of TO New Or
leans, and one hid In the Big Black
Swamp, but he fails to inform the peo-
pie that all this was done in the service
OF the Democratic party and 10 defoAt
the infamous Metropolitan Police Bill,
that would have sorely tyraunized over
our county and cost US q vast sum Of
money.
The water got 80 low in our harbor
that 1t became necessary to move our
Wharf boat few hundred yards down
the river. This furnishes the Leader
the text Of another long attack on Col.
Furlong and his friends. According to
the Leaders very vivid Imagination
this ia the beginning of a deeplaid
scheme to build up the Southern part
of the city in the interest of the
Messrs. Klein, and Col. Furlong Is the
agent 10 be usd to carry 1t out. II it
Is carried out, the worst results will
follow; "grass will grow on Washing
ton street," etc. And Furlong will do
all this, according to the Leader, if he
Is only elected his own successor.
We ask the public to observe how a
plain tale will put all this down. In
the first place the stock held by MIR.
Klein in the Wharfboat was not even
voted at the meeting OF the stockhold-
ers of the Whsrfboat, when il was de-
cided imperative to move the boat. In
the next place Col. Furlong has been
In the Senate for years, and instead of
his engaging in any scheme against the
interest of Vicksburg or Warren couu-
ty, bis colleagues say that his record is
absolutely unimpeachable. And final.
ly, it isa poor compliment 10 pay
Judge COwau, Messrs. Pegram, Mar
shall, GoOdrum and Hogin TO say that
Col. FurlOng could sacrifice any i'm
portsnt interest of the people of this
city and county while they are in the
Legislature with him. What next?

NEW YoRK wholesale dry goods
dealers are enjoying fair business and
selling more goods than last year, but,
on account OF the reduction In prices,
the money receipts are about the same.
On the average, prices are from ten to
twelve per cent. less than last season.
The volume of trade from the Eastern
and Western States is not much better
than last year, but the trade with the
South is considerably larger. The
latter trade IS better than 1t has
been since 1878. This is due,
says ar exchange, to the facts that
the South has excellent crops, aud that
during the last few years It has been
economizing more rigidly than the rest
of the country. TIE beautiful crops at
the West also make the outlook en.
couragng, but are not especially favor

have not yet been sold, and their grow.
ers, therefore, are not supplied with
