MISSISSIPPI POLITICS.

The federal Office holders in MississIp-
pi, who have been the pri incipal mana
gers of the republican party in that State,
have taken differ ,nt plan from the Of
tice-holling politicians else where-they
have disbdnded the party.
1t was very sensible thing to do.
There are two parties in Mississippi, but
the republican is not one of them In
that State, as in Louisiana and South
Carolina, the two na'ural parties were
.jammed into one, to oppose the republi-
can organization, and this opposition
was the more extreme because in Missis-
sippi the colored vote, as long as it could
be maSsed by republican demagogues,
was a real danger to the prosperity of the
State. there are in Mississippi many
honest republicans, but they have not for
some years controlled the party; not a
few of them have felt themselves COM
PEELED to vote against it, and have been
bitterly denounced for so doing by the
demagogueswho ruled il and. who msus Ell
the ignorant negro vote for their own
purposes.
To disband the party is the best thing
that can be done for the cOlored people
of the State. Senator Boutwell, was so
strongly Of this opinion that last year af-
ter he had officially examined Misslssip-
pi politics, he called the leading colored
people together and advised them TO
nominate only respectable and influential
native white Mississippians, their own
neighbors, for office and to vote for
them. Unfortunately the blacks were
not at that time allowed by the republ-
can leaders to do this A prominent re-
publican of the State was asked in
Washington, when the President an
| nounced his policy, what he would now
do. He replied at once, 81 shall support
the Lamar wing of the democrats agai nst
| the fire.eaters and extremists" That is
probably the course which the honest
republicans generally will pursue, and 1t
is the only sensible course. Colonel La
mar represents the conservative, moder-
ate element In the State. He has the
mass of the intelligent people and of the
young men with him. He is hated by
the extremists and Bourbons, who have
on several occasions tried to drive him
| into retirement, but have failed every
time. He is a man of great influence IN
| the State, aud he deserves, and will no
doubt get, the support of the respectable
members of the former republican party.
| The soreheads will probably join the
Vicksburg fire-eaters; that is where they
| belong.

From Ocean City.
ITS POSITION AND ADVANTAGES
OCEAN CITY, July 10Th, 1877


EDITOR GAzETTE:-Oue of the many
advantages ofthis popular summer resort,
and which, by the way, is the just con-
sIderation of seaside patrons, is its acces-
sahilty by rail. The ride in the comfor-
table carS of the Delaware railroad, over
a smooth road bed, Is delightful. The
train :s Special and runs "through"
without change. This is one reason why
Rehoboth is losing its popularity in this
section. The delay incident to regular
trains, the transfers, and the jostling, in
comfortable ride in the close coaches
from Lewes to kehoboth, have lost their
attraction to those who prefer speed,
safety and comfort, to dust, delay, and
the dull monotonus ride through burning
sands. The Delaware company puts its
passengers within few hundred yards
of "Old Ocean," and directly in front of
the Atlantic hotel. The pavilion erected
by this company is in every way calcula-
ted to meet the wants of excursion par
ties, who prefer taking their dlnners
with them. 1t is situated on an emf
neuce, and commands an unobstructed
view of the Ocean and Sinepux-
ent Bay, and is provided with every ac-
commodation. A side from the many
railroad advantages possessed by Ocean
City, the surf is said to be the safest of
any along the Atlantic coast for bathing
A gentleman VINO Is regular paIron OF
summer resorts, informed me to-day that
he proposes to build cottage here next
summer. for he predicts that in two
years more it will be the seaside resort of
Delawareans, Virginians and Maryland
ers.
There are far more visitors here this
summer than last, and they are coming
in every day. As to amusements, there
are all that one desires, boating, fishing,
dancing, Billiards and tenpins, and the
selection is oftentimes hard to make.

FLOWERS, FRUIT AND FOLIAGE.

Tho following Is from the Grass Valley
(Cai.) Union
This eingularly beautiful sight in fruit
or owing is presented in tile orchard of DR..
Harris, and attracts the attention and ad-
mIration OF almost every passerby. A large
apple tree. 'staudius near his dwelling, was
lett last autumn with it's fruit ungathered-
for the birds the Doctor said. At this
writing a large number of golden colored
apples adoru the tree, while the fragrant
white and pink blossoms seem begging for

age. now well advanced, crowns the whole

ago, that visiting friend from OHIO gather
ed and ate charming fruit, and wrote AN ac-
count of the circumstance TO his friends. Ia

ing tue assurance that although he had left

GA RED ET)R

WAsHINGToN, July 12.-The President
has decided to appoint C.. A. Cogwill, of

territory. Cogwill is ex-repubican COM
troler of pubic accounts, and as a member
OF the late returning-boar united with his
radical colleague, McLin, in certifying to
the crooked Hayes returns. He now comes
and complains that he cart live peaceably
in Florida, and must be provided fol- else

force of the argument. This establishes a
precedent for providing all the fugitives
from justice with government asylums.-

Mr. Dan Collyer is Baltimore Damo
crat who does not seem to have been
'.electrified' by the appointment of Mr.
Thomas the Collector If tha5 port. Ii
he had been properly electt flied, as Mr.
Fulton has promised, Mr.. Collyer could
never have written to the President, as
he did the other day, saying that as "a
staunch Democrat the result of the
Presidential election went against all
his feelings" Then, seeing no other
way to get satisfaction, he challenges
Mr.. Hayes to fight him in twenty -four

nj to come to some pleasant Under
standing with the President, has "a

lick any 4 x in Washington, give or
take a half pound" If any OF these
propositions fail to meet Mr.. Hayes ac-
ceptance, Mr.. Collyer makes the busi.
ness announcement that he's going to
have benefit at one of the Baltimore
theatres, and he'd just as soon sell the
President twenty tickets for ten dollars
with a reasonable discount for each,
probably as any othor good American
citizen Anyhow, this pugllistic Demo

TH# FARMERS i" HANDS"

BYB. TAYLOR.
Some pure and perfect summer morn
1 meet farmer plowlne corn,
The sun is shining like king,
Alive and glad Is everything.
Sweet music from the robins mouth,
A soft wind singing from the South
Persuades the willing world to grow
From crown OF oak to apple-blow.
The farmer halting by the way,
1 ask, "who works for you to-dayP"
"I am alone,' the mans reply,
And wondering looks when deny
And say mot so.' That royal sun
Is nothing but your hired man,
He comes a hundred IN lllon miles
Before your breakfast is begun.
Before your wife careens pan,
To coax your corn with golden smiles
And hang the silken tassels on,
And kiss the peach's cheek of down.
The farmer never tolls alone.
| The clouds, his angel lowering over,
| Rain wine for grapes and buds for clover,
And shading, shining, coming, going,
Weave counterpanes for wheat by showing
The robins serve him for their boari,
And eat a cherry now and then.
What is a ruby from the hoard?
They are the sinless friends of men,
For saving yours they take their own,
Foes of our foes. Pray drop that stone,
And let the red breast bird alone'

mAKING A PREsIDENr by FRAUD
sENsIBLK VIEW OF A REPUBLICAN
JOURNAL.

From the Elmira Advertiser.
1t seems the Indictment of the Louis
lana Returning Board relates entirely to
the electoral vote, aud that Stanley
NJ Matthews and John Sherman are to be
brought in as accessories. This appears
to change the look of the matter, and it
becomes less easy for the people at Wash
ington to assume Indifference as to re-
suits or consequences If it be really true
that Madison Wells and his fellow mem
beers of the Returning Board are guilty of
the offences charged, and on account of
which they are Indicted, WE cabnot see
why it is not equally true that Matthew ws
and Sherman are accessories. Certain II
Is they were present all through the ses-
sions of the board and had access TO all
the pagers and documents, knew all the
facts, advised and recommended all the
action. Ifit be said that Madison Wells
had motive, much more had Matthews
and Sherman. These latter gentlemen
knew their ground, and knew that high
| office and great power depended ontheir
success. They were not playing for any
doubtful or uncertain stake. They un-
derstood the situation. They held the
cards in their own hands, and what aces
and bowers were not quietly kept uu
| their sleeves were Shuffi I'd at pleasure to
whom they pleased.
| There is only one posi- bile thing for the
| Administrator to do. 1t must meet the
issue squarely and manfully. 1t must de-
tend the Interests and the position OF
Gov. Wells. 1t must satisfy She country
that the action of the Returning Board
was honest, lawful, and right. 1t must
plant itself on the solid basis of Justice
and majorities, aud 10 longer be content
to stand ou the uncertain ground OF
doubtful and disputed technicalities. The
issue is made, and made for its destruc
ton. 1t may he indlffere mt, but the peo
Pile are not. There should be no more
skirking of the issue. Let us know the
facts Did Mr. Madison Wells, to elect
a Republican President, commit fraud
and perjury? And did Mr.. Stanley
Matthews and Mr.. John Sherman ad wise
and assist in the fraud and perjuryi
These are the questions These are the
accusations. q believe them to be ma
licious and untrue. But they are made
and they are brought into court They
must be met, and not evaded.
The Indictment must not be quashed
They must be tried, and if the accused
are really guilty, and shall be SO proveo
to the satisfaction of the people, the de-
mand will be universal, except possibly
among the reform newspapers, that they
shall be fully ami adequately panished.

Forty-five of Boston's leading physi-
clans say in a petition to the city Govern
ment that the Back bay territory has be-
come dangerous to the health of the city,
because of the sewage that has been turn
ed into it for years.
The Chicago Methodists call their
meetings in the woods Camp Collie. Al
there is no liquor on the ground except
what is in the deacons' pockets, it would
be more appropriate to call the Camp
cramp collie.
1t is said that sorrow kills more people
than gooseberries. But gooseberrie'
shouldn't be sighted. They certainly

Judge Pedigo, of the First Judicial

A Texas statute makes such a marriage
a felony, punishable by not less than
two years confinement in the peni' ell
Iiar5. Judge Pediso declared the law
TO have been part OF ga policy 10 make
the bonds which bound the slave mex

the reason for it no longer existed. Yet
