Our whilOm fellow citizen, w. r
Cooper, is just now attracting more
attention than any other man in
the United States. He is, emphat-
ieally, the hero of the hour-or, in
the expressive language Of the i'm
mortal Doorkeeper Fitzhugh, ga
bigger man than old Grant" e"
The extraordinary interest felt
in him by the public is our apology
for dovoting so much space to his
late operations and his antocedents.
A full sketch Of these would, no
duobt, be more interesting than the
most thrilling romance. The SUBJ
joined matter, we clip from a late
number of the San Francisco "Bul-
letin /"
Cooper came to this city in
March, 1875, accompanied by bis
wife. With him he brought letters
Of introduction to John o. Earl /;
and being apparently a man of
some ability, Earl gave him employ
ment as a clerk, at S65 per month.
Subsequently Cooper was intro
duced by Earl to J. ?. .Treadwell,
into whose good graces he man-
aged TO work his way so far as to
be employed by him as his conf
dental clerk. Last May, Tread
we'll had occasion TO 60 East, At
the time he had accounts with two
banks in this city-the National
Gold Bank and Trust Company and
Sather's Bank. In tho former be
had $4,000 on deposit: in the lat
ter an ordinary deposit Of $4,000
in gold ana a special silver deposit
of $4,000. A few days before leav-
ing the city, Mr.. Treadwell packed
up bis check and passbOoks in a
small tin box and requested Cooper
to take the same to Sather's Bank
TO be placed in the Bank for safe
keeping until his return. On the
way from Treadwell's Office to Sa~
ther's Bank, il is believed that
Cooper opened the box with a false
key and extracted the contents.
Cooper then set to work to transfer
the account in Sather's Bank to the
National Gold Bank and Trust
Company in various amounts ct vas

Remember the two Amendments
to the Constitution to be voted on
at the coming election-the one
abolishing tho office Of Lieutenant
Governor, and vesting all the pow-
crs and duties of that office in the
President of the Senate the other
providing for biennial instead of
annual sessions of the Legislature,
which, it has been estimated, will
save the State 500, 900 per anaum.
To fail to vote on either of these
amendments is, in effect, TO vote
against il.

1t has been suggested, that the
Board OF Supervisors be authorized
to appoint a Collector Of Delinquent
Faxes, who shall give bond and
hold office independent of the Sher-
if, who should be responsible for
none of his acts and held liable for
none of the unpaid taxes for which
credit has been given him in the al
lowance for insolvencics and delin-
quenees. As it is, the Sheriff is
credited with these taxes and then
recharged with them, which pro-
duces confusion, and interferes with
tho keeping of the Sheriffs account
with any systematic and easily unz
derstood method. Who, to-day,
could learn without long and labO-
rious research, what amounts have
been allowed in LOwndes county for
the last four years, as insolvent and
delinquent, how much OF this has
been collected and paid over, and
how much remains unpaid ? If the
office of Collector Of Delinquent
Taxes had been separate and dis
tinct, and the accounts of all who
handle county revenues had been

The Democratic party of Missis-

past efforts in the cause of reform
and of just and honest government,
and invoking the blessings of Heav-

Fidelity to the Constitution Of the

ments, with all their reserved and

vious condition Of servitude, or
birthplace, and no special legisla-
tion for the benefit of the few at the
expense of The many A strict adj
herence, in the selection of public
agents, to the time~hOnorod Jefer
sOnian standard, "Is he honest, is he
capable, is he true 10 the Consti~
tuition ?"
A continuation of the policy Of
retrenchment and reform so sig-
nallv inaugurated by the Demo-
cratic party, and reduction of the
burthens Of taxation to the lowest
point compatible with an efficient
execution OF :he laws.
Corporations of every description
supervisable within Constitutional
limits by State authority, and sub
ordinate to State legislation, in the
interest and for the protection of
the people. AS the pcrpetuity of
free government depends upon the
virtue and intelligence of the people,
we pledge ourselves to the mainte-
nance Of our State system of tree
schools.
We favor the granting of such aid
as may be extended without viola-
ton Of the Constitution of the Uni
ted States, or departing from the
established usages of the Govern
ment, 10 the Texas Pacific railroad,
and for the rebuilding and keeping
in repair of the levees Of the Missis-
sippi river.
That upon this platform of prins
ciples and Of public policy, we invite
the corporation of all citizens with
regard to past differences, in sup
port of the candidates nominated
by this COnYention.
Resolved, That unity and har-
mony are essential to victory that
all independent movements are dan
gerOus to the integrity Of party or
ganization; that all Independent
candidates arc inspired solely by a
lust for office that they shall be
treated as common enemies to the
welfare of the people, and avowed
enemies of the Democratic party OF
the State Of Mississippi.

Bishops majority for Governor
is about $4,000, and the Democrats
have a large majority in both
branches of the Legislature. The
vote is light-about 25 per cent.
short Of the vote a year ago.
The causes Of this Overwhelming
defeat Of the Republicans are va
rious.
l. Disgust at the fraudulent
means employed to place Hayes in
the Presidential chair.
2. Opposition to the financial
policy Of the Administration as-da.
clarcd and enforced by Sherman, tho
Secretary Of the Treasury,s- g
3. Opposition to Hayes "South-
ern policy" by the ultra Repubh-
cans.
T. Tho lack of party discipline
resulting from the enforcement Of
the Civil Service orders.
The second of the causes above
enumerated, we apprehend, con
tributod most to our great victory.
