stance Ofthe state.
Meridian homestead
The Safe docket was taken up on Tues.
| day. and it appeared that in all there were
in these Indictments eleven cases. though
against six Individuals, some parties bein Q
| indicted in two or three cases. The accused
were represented by Col. ). NJ. Meek OF
Columbus, Capt, Thomas Ii. Woods of this
city, aud Capt. Watts of the kemper bar
The casts were called on Tuesday morning
and it was understood that the defence
were ready for trial. but on account OF the
absence OF number or important witness rs
Tor the State the District Attorney was I'M
able to 60 to trial at this term of the court.
When it was aScertaiued the cases would
have to be continued by the State, Capt.
Ford District Attorney, agreed that the
accused might be bailed in the sum of
five thousand dollars in each case, which
was sanctioned by the court, and he
securities were among the very best aud
most responsible citizens of the countc,
and while the bonds aggregated $4,000
dollars, no one acquainted with the par
ties doubts that If the bonds should be
forfeited, every dollar of the money could
be recovered by execution.
THE Meridian Mercury makes the
following important statement:
Since the indictments were found there
have been developments that have removed
all doubts OF the guilt of men taken off by
the mob in procuring the assassination of
John w. Gully. Their terrible crime,
heightened by its manner of hiring negroes
to do it, has been terribly avenged, and it is
folly to expect conviction, even upon proof,
for deeds done in the midst of a tumultu-
Gus riot under such maddening provoca,ion ::
and, in our Judgment, the Governor would
act wisely TO Yield TO the recommendation
of the grand jury to pardon these defen-
dants, which we understand they will make
almost unanimously in the shape of writ
ten emOrIal.

to expostulate with them, laid his hand
upon Bidinger's shoulder. and urged hin
to change his way Of life. BidiBger re
piled with an oath that he would nevel
change his ways. A few moments after

MASONIC TEMPLE.
THE DEPRAvITY OF MAN-sERMoN By Mr..
o. B. FRoTHINGHAM.

THE DEPRAvITY OF MAN-sERMoN By Mr..
o. B. FRoTHINGHAM.
Mr.. o. B. rockingham preached in
the Masonic Temple, taking as his SUBJ
ject "The Depravity Of Man" In the
opening stages of bis remarks Mr..
rockingham claimed that the depravity
of man was a legitimate subject; but
that the depravity Of human nature
could be no subject in itself, since the
latter question could not be raised. To
define what human nature is, said the
preacher, is impossible The common
element in human nature cannot be dis.
covered, and since 1t became apparent
that every race of men had its own sep
arate starting point the theory Of com.
mon stock had to be Abandoned
The German, the Celt, the Malay are
different from each other in all respects
they stand at opposite points OF intel.
lectual development. Therefore, to
speak of human nature is to speak oil
that of which we know nothing. The
theory of the depravity of human ma,
ture appears nowhere but in Genesis
and the question is, Are all men deprav.
ed2 You may speak of a particular
race that has degenerated but even this
application of the words, 'depravity Of
human nature" would be too general
and the time will come when they woult
be inapplicable to single individual.
The dominion. and domain of Adam
are circumscribed to two chapters in th,
Old Testament, and the question may
be fairly asked, What shall he be called
Is he geological depositr No. Blu
he is the beginning Of theology. Bar

A member Of the Sanitary Police force
came across a boy the other day who
was wheeling home load of oyster
cans and bottles, and curious to know
what use the lad could put them to he
made direct inquiry. 20
"Going to throw them over into our
back yard" replied the boy. II took
two loads home yesterday"
"But what do you use 'em for p
"It's trick Of the family" grinned
the lad
"How trick ?"

Johns Tricks.

The tricks of John Sherman are still
coming to light. He is said to be again
calling in the one and two dollar notes
He does not admit as much it is not bis
way to do things above board but it is
known that great scarcity of these
notes exists in the West, and the Treas
urer's books show that the amount oi
these notes outstanding to-day is $46,
100000 against s56,OOO,O0O one year

but public sentiment compelled him to
pay out small bills again. The man is

win has explored nature everywhere, but
he found no Adam in it. He was first
originated many thousands of years af.
ter the era of Adam, after the children
of Israel returned from their captivity
in Babylon. When they were gathering
themselves together again subtle philos.
ophers undertook to construct Adam as
speculative creature. Even as such
his existence began only few hundred
years before Christ. 1t is necessary for
Christianity that the depravity of human
nature should be admitted; for unless
there be q flend there would be no use
in combining measures to snatch man
from pit without existence. If the doc
trine of human depravity be true there
should be nothing but evil in the world
Why, then, is IT that q mere change Of
affairs-a re adjustment of things-.will
often change the bad into the good man !
Mr.. rockingham then endeavored to
show, by contrasting the difference be.
tween the present with the past the absur-
dity of arguing that humanity had degen.
Grated nowadays He took the ground
that man might falls victim to tempta
ton, become a defaulter, and not be utter
ly bad. He thought such man might
simply be the victim Of his own 'mpru.
dent attempt to fly into elevated regions
to which he could not penetrate. He sta
ted the broad issue which he and his hear
ers had taken against theology. and dwell
upon the courage and perseverance which
would be necessary to reach the desired
results.
"Defeat," he said, "must be FOLLOWED
by victory until at last We know how t.
walk steadily on-not downward, but up
ward. 1t we succeed it will be becaus,
we discard the very idea Of human depra
vity and endeavor to bring all men neare
tothe ideal OF their humanity"
