that the Judge had obtained from the
Governor leave of absence for ninety
days, and that he would adjourn court
on the 9th Of July for ninety days, and
that IN the meantime nothing could be
done with these cases under the charges

There Is method and design in this If
the District Attorney had been DESTROYS
OF having the parties brought To a
speedy trial he knew as well the facts
three months ago as he did on the 10Th
of June, as the Judge especially alluded
to the case and his charge to the grand
jury three months ago and if the
parties had been notified of the in
formation as soon as it was filed they
could have called for trial, as the
court sat until the 9TH Of July but the
whole matter was delayed, and SEEM
ingly purposelv, until the court was
about TO adjourn before the parties
could have an opportunity to defend
themselves.
The charge in the information is of IL
false return of the Presidential electors,
and makes no allusion to the return

TIE migration of people from one
country to another is n sort of MANIA
and it is often difficult to account for it.
There is Mt present migration craze
breaking out III many of the northern
states respecting Florida and South Car
DINA. 4 great many northcrncrS,
many of them colorcd people, are mi
grating to these two southern states.
South Carolina and Florida have sud
denly become the finest places III the
world in the imagination of those going
and wanting to go there. This mania
might be of Il great deal advantage to
these states were 1t not for another mi
grafton craze existing among thccolorcd
people of both states respecting san
Domingo and Liberia, particularly the
latter. Many colorel people are mi
grating to these countries, and many
more would go if they could. This
mania TO migrate has taken such hold
on the colorcd people of both these
states that it is causing considerable
alarm among planters and Others who
employ labor to a large extent Tnc
class of colored people going out Of the
states consists mainly of the best labor
crs. Both states are managing to do a
good deal of advertising in the north to
encourage migration to their country,
but neither will willingly part with any
of It's present population. As the fever
to migrate spreads wonderfully when it
begins, it is ust possible that the south
ern states that have been putting their
advantages Of late so industriously, will
in the end lose about rs much rs they
gain.

War Between the Railroads and the

|, There is trouble in the peach country.
The President of the Philadelphia, Viii
mington and Baltimore Railroad Com
pany, Mr. Hinkley. controls the road
which runs down the peach peninsula,
and he proposes terms for the seasons
transportation which have reused all
the peach-producers in Indignation
against him. He has laid down his
ultimatum, that the chartered car
system must be abolished, and that he
will not return the empty baskets except
US freight, ut the rate of ! cent each
from New York and 3 cents from this
city. This breaks up the system by
which thegrower could charter through
cars and have his baskets and car
shelving returned free III a short time.
The growers have made strong pro-
test to Mr. Hinkley, and he has replied
with vigor. They ask for rates CORES
ponding to the general shrinkage in
prices. The road is charging them, they
they say, 400 per cent. more for Garry
peaches than it does for corn from the
same points, and the peach transporta-
ton from the peninsula to New York

Mr.. Hinkley proposes to make no re-
duction of freights to New York, but
claims that by doing away with the
chartered car system 40 per cent. of
expenses will be saved. The growers
nave lost on their Strawberries this
year, and are very jealous Of any
change in Il system of shipments which
has hitherto proved convenient and
profitable. Mr.. Huxley replies to the
statement Of the producers that car
load of corn is charged S2S and of
peaches $50 that the former car can
take return freight and that the latter
must return hastily and empty that
the peach traffic is in general more
costly than the corn and that the rates
as now standing are only about half
what they were ten years ago. The
growers, i'll reply, dispute the figures,
and say that he discriminates against
his natural peninsular customers, by
giving lower rates to those dwelling up
on the water course.-Piddelphia Press.

Thoughtless, unjust and malicious
newspaper criticisms have well-nigh
made bankrupts of all the hotel-keepers
in Niagara Falls. For years past it has
been fashionable for every wandering
scribbler who came here TO write what
are called smart things at the ex-
pense of the place. In season and out

Niagara was inhabited 10y a race of
sharks and blood-suckers who regarded
all tourists as their natural prey that
the talls~wcre fenced in :" that sight
of them could not be obtained without
the payment of almost fabulous sums
of money that the hotel proprietorS
and their servants We're all cheats, and
the hack-drivers all swiudlers Such
statements as these sent broadcast over
the country could not have but one re-
suit. They have frightened people
away from Niagara, and to-day, in the
height of the season, this most lovely Of
watering places is empty, bare, desolate

mon country, is an enterprise so grand
in It's conception and so holy in its pur-
pose that it should. and we trust will
command the admiration and united
support Of all good men, without regard
to personal or partisan considerations.
The idea seems to prevail quite ex-
tensively that the success or failure Of
the presidents southern policy will de-
pend, in some measure at least, upon
the action of those conservative people
of the south who have never been iden-
tilted or affiliated with the republican
party, but who are supposed to desire
to establish governments of law and
order in all the states, under which the
rights of all will be respected and pro-
tected, and to cultivate feeling of pa
triotic amity between the two sections
of the country. If that be true, and if
the longer continuance of the organiza-
ton of the republican party in this
state stands in the way Oftheaccomplish-
ment of an object so desirable as that
then we have an additional reason for
formally disbanding it. A host of he
roes much more numerous than the
members of the republican party in
Mississippi have, in days gone by, laid
down their lives to save their country.
We can well afford to sacrifice our par
ty organization upon the same altar,
and leave the solution of the problem
to those who have the power to solve it.
In conclusion, we desire to add that
our action is not influenced by any want
Of faithful adhesion to the principles of
the republican party We confidently
believe that upon the success of those
principles depends the perpetuity of the
government itself, but we also believe
that it is expedient for the republican
party to retire from the political arena
in this state.

one, in fact, that has been exhumed in
this state, and plate of mica twelve
inches in diameter. This plate was
placed under the head of the individual
when buried, the ancient people having
great admiration for mica. There
have been many excavations made
among the mounds in this state, but this
is the first instance in which mica has
been discovered in any of them. Mica
has been exhumed in Missouri from sim
liar mounds, and the finding of it in this
state is another evidence that the
mounds in Wisconsin, Illinois, Missouri,
and other portions of the union were all
built 10y the same race of people. From
the remaining mound was taken the
longer bones of man of large stature,

How q Mother Lost and Recovered Her
Child.

About eight months ago woman
named Bridget Bowen was lying sick in
Bellevue hospital, New York, suffering
from a dangerous disease. She had a
little girl three years of age whom she
was too ill to care for. The child was
therefore taken from her by Mr.. Kel-
logg, superintendent of charities and
correction, and soon afterward it was re-
ported to him by the Bellevue authorities
that the mother had died. Mr.. Kellogg
then looked for protector for the child,
who was finally adopted by Mrs. Louisa
Mitz, of Albany, who has no children of
her own and is wealthy, and gave ex-
cellent security in the shape of bonds for
the proper care of the child. '. 81.
There had been some mistake in the
hospital records, however, as the mother
of the child did not die as reported, but
recovered, and at once began search for
her offspring. She at last found out that
it was in Albany, and went there and de-
manded the child, whose adopted parents
refuse to surrender it. Mrs. Bowen then
went to the chief of police of that CITY,
who at once caused all the persons inter-
ested to be brought before him. Mr.. and
Mrs. Mitz were placed in room by them
selves, and the child was put into room
with its own mother, who surreptitiously
