A GOOD THING TO BE A BRIT
ISH SUBJECT.

1t is a good thing to be British
subject sometimes. 1t is peculiarly
so if one wishes to live in Mississippi
and entertain independent views on
political questions. An old Scotch.
man, brave, true man, who would
never have been heard of, perhaps,
but for the circumstance of which we
are speaking, outside of the small
circle of his immediate acquaintance,
was one of the Kemper county mis-
sissippD victims, of which our readers
have heard. He was detailed as one
of the guards to protect Judge
Chisolm against mob violence. I'm
like his associates, he was true to his
trust. He stood up, courageously,
and fell before shower of bullets.
His name was McClelland, and being
a British subject, Great Britain pro-
poses 90 inquire into the circumstan-
ces of his death To ehia eraa, the
United States District Attorney,
for the Southern District of Mis-
sissippi, is required to investigate
and report, Judge Chisolm was an
old and prominent citizen Of his
county. He was elected to the office
of Probate Judge for many consecu-
tive years, commencing before and
extending through the war. He was
foully murdered, without the shadow
Of pretext. Nor did the mob stop
there. Not content with taking his
life they murdered his boy, only
twelve years old, and a noble, brave
girl, his idolized daughter. But he
was not British subject and his son
and daughter were not the children of
a British subject. They were citizens
of the United States, this land of
boosted freedom. No investigation
of the bloody deed has been made.
The murderers go unpublished. The
imbecile Governor of the State gives
it as his opinion that they will not
be punished in the county where the
villainous deed was done, and the
President of the United States says
he is without authority. Who will
say that 1t is not a good thing to be
a British subject under certain cir
?

THE difference between able news
paper men is great. Here is the
Louisville Courier-Journal that says
of Bob. Toombs. sc his life has been
one long public CURSE" while the
Atlanta Constitution says, "there is
not wiser or more conservative man
in the whole country than General
Toombs." There is not another news
paper man between British America
and the Gulf of Mexico that shares
that opinion.

GEN. ROGER A. PRIOR, of Confed
crate fame, delivered an address in
Brooklyn, on Decoration Day, and
had something to say about the poll
ticians of the South. He meant,
probably, that they had been " alb
stractionists." The Columbia (Ga.)
Sun is not pleased with his remarks,
and speaks of Gen. Pryor 40 poll
ticisn, and as having been a very
"poor soldier" How sensitive some
of these Democratic leaders are on
these questions. They know that
they have blundered, to a criminal
extent, but it makes them very angry
for any one to warn the Southern
people against the repetition of such
blunders. 1klLEs

THE penitentiary has been leased
again at figures largely in advance OF
those paid under the old lease. By
reference to the bids, as published in
the Nashville American, which we
give elsewhere, it will be seen that,
although the bid is offered by a diff
ferent Individual, the new and the
old lessees are one and the same.

they know what it is worth.

THE Chattanooga Dispatch thinks
if the question in Ohio turns on
"rags and real dollars" the rags
will be beaten, as usual. We think
it scarcely probable that the Ohio
Democracy will repeat Bill the Allen
nonsense this fall. 1t didn't span
out" two years ago, and they will
shift position this time.

Police Testimony.

BOSTON, NOV. 10. 1870.
Fl. R. STEVENS, ESQ,
Dear Sir.-During the past FIVE years have
had ample opportunity to judge of the merits of
VEGErISE. My wife has used it tor complaints
attending a lady of delicate health, with more
beneficial results than any thing else which she
ever tried. have given it to my children under
almost every circumstance attending a large fam
lily, and always with marked benefit. l have
taken it myself with such great benefit that
cannot find words to express my unqualified
appreciation of its goodness.
While performing my duties Police Officer in
this city it has been my lot to fall in tn great
deal of sickness. / unhesitatingly recommend
VEGETINE. and never knew of a case where it
did not prove all that was claimed for it. Particu-
larry in cases of deblitated impoverished state
of the blood. its effects are really wonderful; and
for all complaints arising from an impure state
of blood, it appears to work like CHI rim and
do not believe there any circumstances unGer
which V EGETINE can be used with injurious re-
suits and it will always afford me plesure to give
any further information as to what kn0 "
about VEGETINE.

what ST. Louis Physicians Say.

"CoIden's Liebig's Liquid Extract
of Beef and Tonic Invigorator is a
very agreeable article of diet, and par
ticularIy useful when tonics are re-
quired, being tolerated when other
forms of animal food are rejected. In
diptheria, typhoid fever and every
depressing disease, its use will be at.
tended with great advantage. We
have prescribed it with success and
believe it to be a most valuable med
icine."
