Build oxed from Home.

Clarence J. Ellis, of Fayette, had q
difficulty with a man named Dudley
Stewart. a few weeks ago and ran off to
st. Louis. as he says, to avoid being
lynched. He is a bitter Radical and has
made himself obnoxious to the Demo
Gratis Of Jefferson county by his efforts
to excite the negroes. AS soon as he
reached st. Louis, he went to the lead
ing Radical paper of that city, the Globe
Democrat, and gave a dreadful ac-
count of his escape. The report is
highly colored. Ellis says he will
never return to Jefferson. The people
Of the commonwealth can very well
spare such fellows.
Speaking of Ellis and his sensational
article the STANDARD says:
Making a mountain ont Of q molehill
is finely Illustrated by the big sensa-
tional article evolved by the Globe
Democrat, out of the affair had here
the early part Of this month between
MI. Dudley Stewart and Mr.. Clarence
Ellis. The increase in the proportions
of this story are not altogether mere
exaggerations, q part is wholly fabricat-
ed. To read it would be enough to re-
vive the dying flame of life in old Nor
tons frame. "
We believe that when Mr.. Ellis COM
mitted the assault upon Mr.. Stewart,
that gentlemrn or some of his friends,
might, in the excitement of the mo-
ment, have hurt him. Ali that the few
persons surrounding them demanded,
was the arrest of Mr.. Ellis. He was in
no personal danger after the Sheriff ap-
peared, and could now return to his
home without the least danger. We
think Mr.. Ellis, knowing people as
he does, is as fully aware of this. as any
one, and fear of danger cannot be his
motive, for fleeing hence, or staying
away. -"

Hon. A. III.

Our Washington correspondent says
the veteran statesman, Alexander II.
Stephens, arrived there last week, ap-
parently in better health than at any
time in the last few years. Mr.. Ste
pheus talks freely on all subjects con.
nected with politics OF the business
condition of the country. The latter,
he thinks is rapidly improving. In re-
lation to the Speakership he says he
thinks Randall ought to be, and will be
reelected. He will vote for Randall,
though his choice two years ago was
Cox, of New York, But the project
that rouses Mr.. Stephens more
than any other and to which he has
given much study, and which will have
his valuable aid this winter, is that OF
securing government aid to the Texas
Pacific Railroad. He has his wi ideas
as to the manner in which aid should be
given, but will not oppose any scheme
which will assist the road and at the
same time protect the Government.
The improvement in Mr.. Stephens
health will crafty every one North and
South.

generosity.

The following telegraphic paragraph
explains the situation in the East:
1t is said that the Turkish soldiers
have received strict orders not to fire at
any Russian General, lest he should be
killed or disabled, and be replaced.
Sensible Turkey! She is right in
sparing the lives of the Russian Gener>
ais, for if the world WAS raked and
scraped a more incompetent class of
field officers could not be found than
those now leading the Russian armies.
Their campaigns have been one series
of failures. Russia has not one officer
in the field that has shown he is capa>
ble,of filing Brigadier-G Generals place.
Her continued failures, where success
was within her reach, has shown she
can hardly be classed as n Of the third
rate power of the world, and her weak
ness is becoming more apparent every
day. If Russia keeps her present Gen
erals in the field Turkey will not only
kill the majority of her soldiers but be
able to dictate the terms of peace.

the Error of the
Convention.

1t is a matter Of little Importance,
tut it seems to us that at its meeting
September 18th, the Democratic State
Executive Committee took a good deal
of liberty when they adopted the fol>
lowing resolution. The State Conven>
ton wa as fully competent to name
the party as the Committee, and as that
body called 1t the Democratic party, we
shall continue to call it by that name
alone, regardless of the advice of the
Committee. This is the day for Execu-
tive Committees to take to themselves
very great power
But to the resolutions: O.
Res0lved, That the State Conven.
ton, not having authorized, by resolu-
ton, the expuDging of the term Con-
eervative from the a%ppellation of the
organization opposed to the Republican
party in Mississippi, it is hereby de-
clared in use and effect until otherwise
ordered by the members thereof in Con-
vention assembled.
Whether the Convention authorized
by resolution the e%xpunging or not, it
expunged, by ignoring the term Cou-
sentative, and we do not believe the
Committee had the right to re-substi-
tute it. Democracy is enough name
for us.

COnklfn. VS.. Hayes.

A few days ago Senator Conkling
made a speech in the Republican State
Convention of New York, antagonistic
to the President. He is condemned by
many Republicans for it. 9'la5 % IT."
Speaking of the speech the Cincin--
natl Enquirer says that it is believed
that: under Conkling's lead the OPP
position to Hayes can find a more conve-
nient rallying point than under any
other leader. His course will undou bt-
eddy have the effect of bringing to the
surface those who secretly oppose
Hayes, but up to this time have kept
aloof from making it public. waiting for
some Goliath to lead. Conkling will be
the Goliath, under whose broad mantle
the pigmies will find cover. He has
gone too far to compromise and Evarts,
his arch enemy, will see to it that re
Cancellation will not be offered until
asked for. Conkling is hardly the APP
polio to appear as a suppliant, SO it will
be war to the knife. 2

The citizens of Rodney are making a
desperate effort to secure the Chamber
lain Hunt Academy. They have ad-
dressed, through the public prints
more communications to the Presbytery
Of Mississippi, than any member OF
that body would want to read in one day.
They set up claims for the academy as
follows, which we note in their order:
There are about one hundred and
twenty-five white children in Rodney
and vicinity, within educable age; that
we have no permanent schools any
| where in the neighborhood, and the
public schools only being open p few
months in each year, the consequence is
our children, for three months of the
time, are without the advantage of in
struction, we being too poor to send
them away from home. ai4il.4
If the academy is to be given to
charity, Rodney is entitled to it.
%. Our town is healthy, pleasantly
|loceted on the Mississippi river. With
an intelligent and once wealthy COM
munity, only five miles from what was
once Oakland College, to which this
fund was originally donated. !.
Only five miles from the old site, is
a powerful argument to some, but won't
weigh a feathers weight before as in
telligent and we'll posted a body as the
Presbytery of Mississippi.
Sd. A considerable number OF the
heirs and descendants of the original
donors reside in this immediate vicini-
ty, and could have the benefit Of the
munficent donations Of their ancestors,
of which, if located elsewher,e they
would be deprived.
If "a considerable number Of the heirs
and descendants of the original do
nols, ''only are to be benefited by the
Academy, then Rodney should have it
by all means.
4th. We could furnish more suitable
buildings, at less expense, here than
elsewhere, unless said fund should be
consolidated with some other already
established institution.
All of which happened not to be so,
the signatures of the signers to The con-
trary Notwithstanding.
5th. The want of educational privi-
leges as compared with either Natchez,

The truth of which does not amount
to "a ROY of pins" We are sorry for
Rodney. Her educational institutions
should be looked after by her County
Superintendent of Education.
Dunbar Hunt, son of one of the do>
nors. from away up in West Virginia,
asks the Presbytery, ''for the above
cogent reasons" don't laugh y to lo>
cate the Academy at poor, education

more to do with the matter han any
other gentleman, we assume his re-
quest will not be granted.

Anew Words 10 Farmers.

We stated in our last issue that we
hoped hat a peaceful settlement would
be effected between the farmers and
merchants in Lincoln county, and such
q settlement as would not break down all
confidence between business men.
In these hard times sympathy and in
diligence should be entreated, and liti-
CATION ard forcible settlements by oil
means be avoided, as the poor people
in the country are not in condition to
stand it, and many n poor man and his
family may be brought to sufferance.
We took occasion to touch upon a
point in which we thought the people
were in danger Of being misled, and we
thought very wrongly by people who re-
ally do know, Or ought to know, better ;
and that is, that deeds of trust based
upon our State laws are easily 'fknock-
ed III the head" We stated that that
was the "silliest bosh,", and now we say
demagoguery, if the latter term is bet
ter understood.
1t is a fact, recognized by all good
lawyers, that a deed Of trust is not
more easily overthrow than a deed to
land. ., g. ..4t -.
We state further, that usury in a con-
tract, or an overcharge in an account,
does not invalidate the contract or deed
of trust, only to the extent of correct
ing the excess of interest or overcharge.
The deed of trust and the contract on
which it is based, will be enforced by
the law to the extent of principal and
ten per cent. interest in the case of
money loaned; and in the case of proper
ty there is no such thing known as usu-
~, and the law will enforce a fair con
tract that parties may make among
themselves. This we feel it our duty
to say, and we believe any good lawyer
will so state to an interested party.
