The Destruction of n Turkish
HrOm.lYnd.

LONDON, May 28.-Two young Rus
sian engineer officers who attempted to
reach q Turkish monitor on the Danube
with torpedoes, were discovered and
driven off by q heavy fire. They re-
turned at 8 o'clock in the morning, IN
two skifs, carrying q chain of small
torpcdocs filled with dynamite. secured
the chain across the monitors bow and
fred it by means of electricity, when
the monitor disappeared.
Another account of the destruction OF
the monitor says it was one of the most
daring deeds ever recorded. A small
detachment Of Russian soldiers left the
northern shore of the Danube in q num-
Der Of small boats. The night being
very dark they managed to surround
the monitor before being discovered.
When finally observed by the sentries
on board they we're challenged. A MAJ
jor replied in Turkish, "Friends!' The
Turks, not satisfied commenced firing
in the direction of Matchin, not know
ing where the boats came from. Shots
few wide. During the firing several
Russian soldiers plunged into the wa
ter, swan silently to the vessel and
placed q torpedo in close contact with
her bottom. After it had been secure
ly fastened the men returned to the
neighburing shore. The monitor was
blown into the mir and all on board
pcrished.

Wednesday the sixth OF June, is the
day appointed for the assembling of
the Editors Of Mississippi in Conyen-
ton, in our "City of Flowers" We
have no fenrs but that u people, who
are noted far aud wide for their cour-
tesy aud hospitality to visitors, will vie
with each other in making the occasion
one OF great pleasure to their guests.
The gentlemen composing the Press Of
Mississippi, we are proud to say, can
not be excelled for their intelligence,
refinement and g~allantry. They are
chivalrous, whole-soulel and frue>
hearted men in whom there is little or
no guile. They are a band of veterans,
who have stood. like 'The Brave
Three Hundred" at old TherInopyla,
and fought thousands to their one.
Not only in the breach have they with
stood fearful odds but they sailed
forth and attacked the foes OF Missis-
sippi in their stronghold, carrying all
before them. Like the son of Ireland
they have fought battles for every
cause but their own.
In the name of our people we extend
them a cordial invitation to come and
| bring with them their wives and daugh'
ters or awcethearts, and partake OF the
inequalities of onr city.

Judicial s~feasings.

1t seems that Federal officials in the
South are availing themselves of every
opportunity to enrich themselves at the
public expense, and unless the present
administration puts a stop to these out
ragous doings of United States Marshals
in certain localities, the judicial ex>
penses of the government will be iu-
creased to an alarming extent. 1t is
reported in a Washington dispatch to
the Hartford Ttmesohat the Attorney
General has recently been informed by
an agent that he authorized to go South
that one-half of the very large judicial
expenses of United States court in the
State of North Carolina are fraudulent.
1t appears that the United States Mar
sbals in that State have en- amusing
way OF making out a lot of subp9nas
for witnesses in all parts OF the coun-
try. Although these witnesses never
serre,the~ MsEsae}s certify that they
have done SO, charge in the mileage,
per diem, etc, and send the receipt for
the same, which they also sign them
selves, to the Department of Justice as
vouchers showing that they paid out
the money. 1t is asserted by this agent
that nearly one-half Of the money that
should pass through the hands OF the
Deputy Marshal, United States Cons
missiorers etc., in that State, sticks to
their own hands, and that the United
States Judge, United States Marshals
and numerous deputies are engaged in
a huge swindle against the Government.
This agent asserts that he a prove
from false vouchers on file in the Treas
ury Department the stealing by those
officials of at least $4,000 during the
past year. He says, furthermore. that
since the present Administration has
come into existence the stealing has
beer larger than ever, as most OF those
holding positions of the class indicated
are hourly expecting to be removed,
and they are determined to make hay
while the sun shines. The same state
of things exists in every n OF the
States, the amounts stolen
outright during the year amounting to
more than one million dollars.

NeW Party Talk.

As old parties become defunct and
powerless there are always glimmering
luminaries ready to rise from the de-,
pleted ranks and cast q halo Of light
over the future by the manipulation of
political machinery. They always en-
deavor to enlist popular feeling in their
favor by the adoption of broad and
liberal policies, and invite all to partic
ipate with, perhaps, q similar contem-
plated joy that the spider did VIXEN he
invited the fly to walk into his parlor.
There is a class of political tricksters
that may be compared to the cunning
spider, and those who listen to their
sweet words of apparent reason may be
compared to the unsuspecting fly that
yielded to opportunities and became IN
volved in intricate webs which ultimate
ly proved its destruction.
The administration organ at Wash
ington intimates that a convention will
soon be held in the city of New York,
to have q "new party talk and if pos
sible to i~naugurate a movement in that
direction. 1t is also said that distin-
guished citizens Of the North and South
will favor this new departure. Well, if
that convention is ever ushered into ex-
istcnce the nation will be somewhat
gratified to learn who these distinguish
ed citizens win be. We have no init
nation what tile character of the new
party will be, and we care less; but it
will perhaps be an addition to political
to know what sort of ingenuity
these distinguished citizens will resort
to for the purpose Of accumulating that
strength necessary to give it a respecta
BILE position in the political arena. We
will visit and sec, if VIC ever do.

The RAIDS are aroused.

Col. E. II. MURFEE has within the
last few days received a numbero OF bids
from other towns in the State, for the
removal OF his splendid Military school
Three towns have offered the buildings
free of rent for n term of years, and
guarantee a large patronage. All TINS
is very iattering to the talented Facui-
ty of the Mississippi Military Institute,
but we hope that no inducements that
can be offered will be sufficiently
tempting to indnce q removal ID
erdeeR Examiner.
If Brookhaven will put in q good bid
it may induce Col. Murfee to remove
his Military Institute to this place.
