bill, because it is practical reputation. When
a Mississippi Democrat is constrained to raise
his voice against reputation, the world must be

The published accounts of contri
buttons throughout the country for
the benefit of the plague-stricken cities
Of the South indicate great sympathy
and generosity towards the sufferers;
and one would think that these con.
tributions in the aggregate ought Ia
be sufficient to meet every want. But
it is evident from the incessant com.
plants and appeals coming from those
unfortunate places that the aid sent
them, so far, has fallen far short Of
their necessities. 1t may be that more
or less Of the means sent, or attempted
to be sent, has been misapplied or
possibly appropriated dishonesty.
However this may be, the fact remains
that thousands of our fellow-men are
not only the victims Of a deadly dis
ease, the horrors of which can not be
adequately depicted, much less exag-
gerated, but that they are destitute of
the commonest necessaries of life, and
are crying piteously and continuously
10 us for succor. That these human
beings, stricken and scourged as they
are by the Almighty, should be per-
mitted TO suffer for the want of med
ical attention, nursing, food, raiment,
or any thing that money can proure in
a land of plenty, such as ours, is a
shame and a disgrace. Surely this
should not be so. To say that we have
given literally, is not the answer to
make to these appeals. The extent
of the necessities Of those who are suf-
Iering should be the measure. and the
,nly measure, Of our generosity. They
'hould have enougb-yea, the great
est abundance, of whatever they need
% alleviate their affection; should
rave all the assistance in every form
hat their more fortunate fellow.beings
ire able 10 render. Such is the kind
If charity this case demands. and any
hing short Of it is sheer inhumanity.
Let the hat 90 round again, and let
10 man shake his head.

the success of the party.
Col. Fox in answer to repeated calls
came forward and in q good humored
way said that the Convention had
lost the best chance it would ever
have of getting the best man for Con-
gress IN the District, but that Lit
tie Phil had won fairly and that in
his race no warmer friend or heartier
supporter would be found than he.
His remarks were received with great
applause.
Judge Turner answered the loud
calls for him and said that he hoped
something would have turned up so
that he would have gotten the nomi-
nation, as he was really anxious to go
to Congress this time, but he felt no
chagrin at the result Of the Conven-
ton and would cherish no chickering's
but would go forth to battle for the
good old Democratic party, and use
his every endeavor to the election of
Mr.. Thompson, which he believed was
as sure as that the election would be
held in November.
At this juncture, however, Col.
Jacobs, Mr.. Durham's law partner,
moved that the nomination of Mr..
Thompson be made unanimous. which
was seconded by Mr.. c. H. Rhodes,
Of Boyle. The motion was put, and
carried without dissenting voice.
Cheer after cheer rent the air when
Mr.. Thompson was introduced, which
only sutsided long enough to allow
him to accept the nomination in We
ry appropriate speech of thanks, and
then on motion the Convention ad-
journed sine die.
The contest has been a most unpar-
alleled one in this State, and we hope
never to witness another SO excited.
Every good democrat will accept the
nomination now in good faith, and 60
to work for the success of the ticket. |
Phil Thompson must, and will be
elected by a majority greater than
was ever before cast in the Eighth |
District.
