The following notice of this institu-
ton in the Houston Telegraph derives
its interest to our Mississippi readers
from the fact that the head of the insti-
tuition was formerly an honored and
useful citizen of this State-Hon. T..
S. Gathright, our late Superintendent of
Public instruction:
In gathering up the incidents of the Fair
week just ended. not one of them comes
back TO HoustOn'S recollection more pleas
antly than the visit of the faculty aud stu
dents of the State Agricultural and Me
chanical College. By their fruits We shall
know them (the treeS), is Il divine rule of
criticism, aud the well organized, care
fully instructed aud manly corps of bows
trained in this school speaks volumes for
the ability and JhOrOughneSs of their in
structors. The military system of the Col
lege IS excellent, but 1t forms DOLLY one of
the elements of the present usefulness and
future promise of this school. Although
in its first session it already Is 4 credit to
the state and promises to be most Vaiua-
BILE and efficient trainer of those who after
Us are to conduct the affairs of this great
commonwealth The credit of all this is
due to the wise administrative ability of
its President. GIthright, seconded bv an
efficient corps of assistants.
Mr.. Gathright occupies n position that
was first rendered to the Hon JEFFERSON
Davis, eX-HresiIent OF the Confedcracy
who on expressing his inability to accept
its responsibilities recommended for the
place the present incumbent. How fully
he fills its requirements let his students tes-
tify. A number of Houston'S Yoang sons
are entrusted to his Care, ana their friends
already congratulate themselves on being
able To secure 50 near home the advantages
in Laental, moral and physical training
they had heretofore felt it necessary To seek
abroad. This is now 10 longer desirable
and it is a decided addition to the bright

Gov. kEMPER, of Virginia, sets good
example to Governor Stone, of Mississippi.
when he says he will see that the murder
ers of the revenue officers in Lee county
are hunted down and punished as they de-
serve.-Phladelphia Times.
Very well. Gov Stone is not under
the necessity of hunting down" the
Kemper men. They can be found any
day the courts call for them. Now, when
Gov. KemPer catches and inAicts pun
ishment upon the thieving revenue Off
GERS in Virginia, the Times must not
forget to state whether he dispensed with
the judicial authorities upon whom under
the statutes of Mississippi devolve the
arraignment of accused persons or what
plan he did fall upon.

The Bargain and Sale Proposition.

The following extract Of a letter from
Mr.. Key, Postmaster General, is still on
its rounds-and is eliciting comments
anything but favorable to the Admin
istration of which he is a mouthpiece:
Very little is doing with regard to South
can appointments. The Presidents South
ern policy--his action as 10 South Carolina
and LOusiana-has arraVed against him
Blaine, Wade Wendall Phillips. the carpet
baggerS aud other bloody shirt Republicans.
The Democrats have a majority in the
House. and this detection may give an OPP
position majority in the Senate. To give
the President the power to carry out his
Southern policy, il is Important that he
have majority in both Houses favorable TO
his Administration. Whether he shall have
this majority depends Oh the Southern
Democrats. If they oppose the Administra-
ton. elect Il Northern Democrat, Sucl as
Randall or SayIer, - the Speakership, and
ally themselves with the disaffected Re
publicans to fight the Administration, he
will be compelled to use his official patron
age in such Il way as to give him strength
in own party. whereas, should Southern
Democrats wisely extend him support. he
will be able 10 deal l2s patronage 10 them
literally, and revolutionize the system OF
Federal patronage which has existed IN the
South since the war
that Blaine and other prominent men OF
the Republican party who are stigmatized
as "bloody shirt Republicans" are re-
garded as enemies by the Administration
which they insisted upon putting into
office by dishonest methods. In the divi-
sions of the Republican party, the Demo
Gratis, by remaining united, have reason
to hope for success in obtaining control
of the government in all its departments
as they are afforded opportunity by the
elections. But the significant feature of
the letter is the direct bid which it makes |
for Administration followers from the |
Southern Democracy. 1t commences by |
a significant statement that very few
Southern appointments have yet been
made The offices are yet to be disposed
of The mills of the gods are grinding
and there is serious disafection in the
ranks which must be supplied |
with recruits from the Democracy. tits /
important that the President should have |
control of the House as well as the Sen
ate. The election to the Speakership of
such inveterate Democrats as Randall or
Sayler, will be an obstacle in the wayof the
Administration. There must be a Hayes
organization of the House.
Now, says the Administration mouth
piece, do you give as the votes for control
of the House; take the o,Iitces and the
bargain is closed But if you do not
accept these terms of trade, the President
will confer his patronage on Republicans
in order ''to give him strength in his
own party" Was ever the sense of the
American people disguised by a more
and corrupting proposition
This is specimen of the civil service
reform which has been promised.

SINCE the kemper affair IN this State,
growing out Of the assassination Of John
w Gully (Democra), a colored Repub-
lican named Laws, in Louisiana, has
been murdered, and it has been asserted
that the crime was attributable to his
disagreement with his wife's paramour.
The murder was the original for bloody
shirt outcry all along the Republican
line, and Gov. Nichols was at once in
formed by the partisans that if he did
not usurp the prerogatiyes of prosecu-
tor, Judge, jury and eXecutioner of the
guilty party or parties, he would he de-
nounced as unworthy, treacherous,. law
defying, tool of the White Leaguers,
no more 10 be countenanced in loyal cir
cles. The New Orleans newspapers, the
Democrat and Picayune. which had been
unsparing in their denunciations of the
Kemper people, and exceedingly liberal
Isl their advice to Gov. Stone, have been
brought TO feel the injustice of wholesale
abuse upon one-sided presentation of an
issue, and especially the unreasonable
ness of the demands upon the Executive
department to perform functions which
are con1ided to other departments, and
which it is absolutely prohibited from
exercising, For thus presuming ignor-
antly to NEEDLE with matters that do not
