A CHANGE has come over the spirit of
the dreams of the Harpies. In their
last Weekly, there is, among others, a
picture of Hon. John Young Brown,
under the head Of Distinguished South
ern Statesmen" A few years since,
when that gentleman responded in APP
propriatc terms upon the floor of the
House to one of Ben Buffers character
istc attacks upon the South, the former
was pictured as a ferocious tiger upon its
hind legs, attempting to spring upon
Butler and the Northern men. Fernan-
do Wood, and other Northern Democrats,
were holding the tiger by the tail.
Speaker Blaine was exclaiming, Don't
let your wild beast loose until the next
Congress - Che next House had already
been elected, and was Democratic
Around the tigers neck was a collar
labelled, Southern Dem Jcrat," under
meath the picture was the inscription,
''The (John) Young Brown Democrat
ic1 Tiger This was the beginning of
the series Of Democratic tiger pictures in
that Radical sheet. During the next
Congress, the tiger was pictured with his
tail broken off, the Northern Democrats
on their backs, and the tiger leaping
upon the Republicans. That was when
Hon. Ben Hill replied to Blaine's An
dersopyi!le speech. After which, fierce
tigers, double headed tigeFs, double
breasted tigers, hungry tigers, long
haired Southerners with chained tigers,
ETC., etc, were presented in great num-
bers. And now we have the real por-
trait of the original Young Brown Tiger,
with 9 complimentary notice of his
distinguished services the Butler speech
left out.) If Mr.. Brown did not have
a vivid recollection of his action in the
High Joint Commission business, he
might well exclaim, "What have done
that mine enemies praise me?"

Colonel Moses jackson.
Liberty Herald

SENAToR-Amite and Wilkinson.-From
all that we can learn from pretty general
intercourse with leading Democrats of Viii
date for Senator this election. And while
our Wilkinson friends would not presume
to dictate, Col. Moses jackson would be
particularly acceptable TO them for that po-
sitton.
All that need be said in reference to
the foregoing is that If the next Missis-
sippi Legislature is composed of such men
as Moses Jackson the public interest will
suffer no detriment. He is worthy of
the name he bears.

our eXuberant magnanimity


IHE Calhoun Democrat says that the
sentiment of Calhoun county points to
Hon. d. w. Rogers, of Yallobusha, as
the coming Senator from the two coun-
ties, and adds that She has made a
good Representative, has fully met the
expectations of our people and we pre-
sumo they would not object to his pro-
"motion" The compliment is we'll de-
served, if perfect fidelity to public
trust, and knowledge to gee aud will to
do the right, constitute the standard of
capacity. Mississippi has never had a
truer nor a better man in heN councils
than David w. Rogers.

A Lesson for Southern Democrats.

The Southern Democracy must remem-
Der that there can be such thing as
OVERRIDING their praise of Mr.. Hayes for
recognizing that the war is over and ad
for the use of troops in Louisiana and
South Carolina. There is danger of
killing him with kindness. When An
drew johnson, in darker time than we
have since experienced, joined issue with
his party, the South forgetting his recent
malignant hostility, espoused his cause
and hailed him as deliverer. He not
only had "a policy" which majority of
her people liked, but he appointed South
ern men who had boon held in high es-
TEEN, to office. Their adulation was the
signal for an onslaught upon him by the
Radicals. The Ben. Wades, Phillips.
Mortons, together with the Trays,
Blanches and Sweathearts of the pack,
were unleashed and went into full cry
upon his track. Soon there was scarcely
NoIlieIu AeaeICal VINO was VIKING
To take his fortune by the arm,
And go along with him.
johnson was man of power, with
title to his Office untainted by fraud, and
to Hayes he was Hyperion to Satyr.
Let US profit by the lesson, and while
we are bordering the methods of eco
operation" or whatever else you may
call accepting the tributes which have
been wrung from a beaten foe to the
principles upon which the Democracy
triumphed, let us season our applause
with moderation, lest he fall victim to
our exuberant magnanimitY.

SOUTH CAROLINA.

There is something still more ludi.
crous from its absurdity if possible, in
the following description of the h ard
ships of Chamberlain and his house
hold:
Never. so long as | live, shall | forget a
night just after the election in Columbia
when the Democrats believing they had
elected their national ticket, went wildly
through the streets, drunk with joy and
hi ad with whisky. The Governor sat in the
Executive Cham Der of the desolate Stat
house, calm and collected as ever, but with
a pale face and quivering lip which was
not usual to him. There was no one in the
cham Der but he and !, and as we sat wait
idy for good news OF the election. which
did not come, great crowd OF yelling red
shirted rifle club Democrats, drunk like the
rest of those in the town, came around the
building and under the Governors win
dows, cursing, shouting, disch!rging their
guns and pistols, and with ieers and
threats OF violence calling upon Chamber
lain to show his Radical head that they
might blow it off. Fearing for his life, and
it was in continual danger, number of
friends came in and urged him to go home.
NO, no. he said, my duty is here, and
will stay" Then they went out, and he,
turning to me exclaimed, as il his brave.
true heart would break: "Oh, my God, If |
only could go, My poor wfel My poor
wife," At that time did not understand
nor appreciate the full meaning of his
words. did both, eohen some days later, IL
lodS announced that Mrs. Chamberlain had

all their alleged crimes were not response

which the writer caps his record of their
wrong. doing to the Chamberlain dynasty.

GOV. STONE visited kemper county to
inform himself of the condition of affairs
in that county and to ascertain if there
was anything the Executive of the State
could do to suppress excitement and es-
tabIish order. He found that peace and
quiet had been fully restored; that after
the storm and outburst of feeling, order
reigned throughout the county. He
was assured that the courts would take
the necessary cognizanee of whatever has
been done in violation Of law and as
we have said elsewhere there is nothing
for the Executive to do except to come
a. the aid of the Judicial authorities in
executing the laws and the DEGREES of the
Courts if they should be defed. OF this
there is no probability. The citizens who
were driven to the verge of desperation by
accumulated wrongs, and to the dire ne
cessity of suppressing lawlessness by un-
lawful methods are not the men to evade
responsibility for their acts.

As a matter of course there will be
conflicting reports of such an affair as the
Kemper county tragedy, but we pre-
sumo that the statements we have copied
from the Meridian Mecury are, in the
main, as accurate as any that have been
published. 1t was the elimination of
the bad passions of hate and lawlessness
cngendered and carefully cultivated in
that hitherto peaceful community under
Radical misrule. The effects outlived
the wretched party that caused them /;
and were developing themselves in the
most inhuman and cowardly of all re-
venges, assassination.

MISSISSIPPI.

The weak, but honest and high minded
Adrlbert Ames, for instance, went through
all the terrorS that came TO a Republican
otiice-holder in Mississippi to that end and
to that end only. What he and his deli
cate nurtured wife suffered during the
years that they lived in Jackson, most des-
olate of settlements, will never be known
To the outside world. She for months at a
time was confined to her own house, never
daring to go upon the streets, because she
did not feel herself strong enough to en-
dure the insult that she knew would be
heaped upon her by "the. ehivalric sons OF
proud old Mississippi. Every house was
closed against her; she was not welcome
anywhere; even in Gods temple there was
no room for the wife of a Radical who had
been fairly elected TO the highest office in
the State. And in her own home what had
she. Nothing but the society of i few
faithful negroes and the occasional visits Of
the rough but we'll meaning men who We're
her husbands chief followers. Her case
was not an isolated one.
