what the People Expected OF their
Representatives.

The people elected Tilden President,
and the Democratic House had the pow
er, under the settled construction of the
Constitution, to prevent him from being
defrauded out of the election by return
ing boards administered from the Interi-
or Department, and il will be difficult to
make the people believe that this clear
and acknowledged right was surrendered
from mere apprehension that their oppo'
nents will not submit to the law. Moth.
ing was expected from the peoples
representatives but that they would stay
in their places and vote their own honest
convictions. Not a man among them
can suppose for one moment that any
soldier would modest him. Nor is there
a blatant Radical in the land who would
lift his hand against the President elect
if the representatives of the people haC
simply performed their duty to the peo
pie in reference to the election in accord
ance with the settled usage under tht
Constitution. Washington Union.

WE clip the following just tribute to
one of our distinguished Representatives,
from Jackson letter that arpe' red in
the last issue of the Canton Citizen:
"Not far from Gen. Tucker, and a
little to the right of the Speaker, a
stranger would pot fail to observe the
genial face and striking appearance of
Hon. w. w Troup of Monroe, u repre-
sentative agriculturist, whose heart is as
full of charity and the milk of human
kindness as his head is full of sound,
practical wisdom and statesmAnlike ideas
upon every subject; possessing high
order of intellect, with great ffmness
of character, an unblemished reputation,
untarnished integrity, the uncompro
missing foe of fraud and corruption in
every guise, extremely popular with the
working classes, Col. Troup would fill
with superior ability any position tc
which the people might elevate him
1t is to be hoped that he will soon bt
called to higher position, in which h'
may be able to employ to greater public
advantage his many admirable qualitie
of head and heart"

A CARD.

A CARD.
EDITORS APPEAL--On the night of the
23d last, in j. NJ. Phillips drug store, in the
town of Austin, personal difficulty oc-
CURED between Nj. j. Manning, sheriff of
Tunica county, and WillisS 5. Gibson which
resulted in the death of NJ. J. Manning on
the 24th instant, at O'Clock in the after
noon. The cause of the difficulty and kill
ing is as follows: NJ. j. Manning had diff
ficulty with John S. Fretwell, a few nights
previous 70 the shooting, which resulted in
Fretwell shooting at Manning. On the
night of the 23d, Manning suspecting that
Fretwell was in town, armed himself with a
double barrel SHOT gun and "a pair Of large
Russian pistols, left his office about ten
O'Clock at night, and went to j. NJ. Phil
lips drug store. While sitting near the
stove in the store, with his gun lying across
his lap, with the mnZze toward the back OF
the store, Willis S. Gibson entered the front
door, and coming toward Manning, re-
marked to him '' You accuse me of being
i'm plicated in trying to kill you, which you
know is a damned le." At this remark
Manning made no reply, but seized his gun
and attempted to gee up and turn the mnz-
zle toward Gibson; but Gibson seeing him
grab the gun, drew his pistol anC advanced
on Manning so fast that the latter turned
and ran in the direction of the back door
Gibson fired on Manning as he turned to
run. Manning fled into the back room of
the store, turned around and hursted both
the caps on his gun, aiming at Gibson; but
the gun failed to fire. Manning then shut
the back door leading into the rear room.
and ran out at the back door of the store,
when he was fired on by unknown parties
| a number of times, and received six shots
in the shoulder, arm, back and spine. When
persons reached Manning after he was
wounded, they found Gibson sitting by
him, supporting his head. Manning said to
Gibson: You did not kill meI'' aud re-
peated it several times. Manning was then
carried iato the store, and kept there until
daylight, when he was taken to his resi-
dence, where he made his will. and
died at four o'clock in the afternoon. His
remains will be conveyed to New JERSEY to
be buried, where his mother lives, in the
home of his childhood.

Fund damental Democratic Prin-
cipIe.

Recently Kentucky has elected Mr..
Beck to the United States Senate in
place of Mr.. Stephenson; Alabama, Mr..
Morgan in place of Mr.. Goldthwaite;
Tennessee, Messrs. Harris and Baily
in the places of Messrs. Cooper and Key
and Georgia, Mr.. Hill in place Of Mr..
Norwood The outgoing and incoming
Senators are all members of the same
political party-all Democrats. No want
of. loyalty to their party, was alleged
against any other of them, except the
mistake of Mr.. Key in voting for the
Mississippi investigation but his Sena-
torial career was an accident. He was
a gubernatorial appointee. The others
were all elected by Democratic constitu-
encies After service Of six years each
was retired by his State in accordance
with the sound Democratic theory of
rotation in Office, which is in fact the
best embodiment Of Tie salutary principle
of preserving the responsibility of the
public agent to the people. A life long
tenure of office in the same person is
destructive of this principle and virtually
defeats the intent and motive of frequent
elections. 1t has in some instances been
violated, but they were signal exceptions,
which marked the rule Kentucky, Mas
sachusetts and South Carolina, conferred
lifetime Senatorships on their statesmen,
Clay, Webster and Calhoun; but it is
not every centuary, much less generation,
that produces the counterpart of these
illustrious men. Missouri found that
becoming reverence for this underlying
principle of popular government, which
has been so emphatically illustrated in
the recent elections in Kentucky, Ala.
bama, Tennessee and Georgia, compelled
her to retire her own great statesman
Thomas II. Benton, who, intoxicated
with the honors which his confding con
constituency had lavished upon him,
wandered away after false gods.
