LAMAR'S VOgE.

On the first page Of this issue will
be found the speech of Senator Las
mar on the silver bill, just before its
passage in the United States senate
last week, which in itself is a noble
speech, but under the circumstances
we think it were better had he never
made it. While we doubt the pro,
priety Of the Legislature instructing
senator's and representatives as to
how they should cast their votes,
still upon a question Of national
Importance, and one too upon which
the people OF our whole state were
so unanimously agreed upon, we
think aa expression from our legis-
lature not altogether cut Of place.
Be that as it may however, the deed
was done, and Mr.. Lamar had
positive proof Of the fact that a
great majority of the people of
Mississippi were in favor of the
silver bill, and as a representative
of the people OF Mississippi, and
not Of Mr.. Lamar, it would seem to
US it would have become the eminent
gentleman to have given way to the
wishes of himself and expressed
those OF his constituents. Holding
the resolutions adopted by our state
Legislature in his hand, Mr.. Lamar
said {: Between these resolutions
and my convictions there is q great
gulf" Does he suppose that by ig
noring the wishes of his people he
is going to contract that gulf? We
think not ; but will rather have a
tendency to widen it.
Mr.. Lamar said in a recent speech
that he had given much patient
study to the subject OF finances, and
it was bis honest convictions that
the silver bill would be an injurious
measure for the south. Probably
90, but as a rule in all measures
strongly advocated by the eastern
bondholders, it is pretty safe for the
south and west to oppose it, for those
men as a class are very apt to sup
port the measures that will put
money in their pockets, it matters
not at whose expense.
We exceedingly regret Mr.. La.
mai has taken sides with the bond
holders aud rich men of the east, for
we verify believe he is politically
dead, and that his valuable services
in the congress OF the United States
will end when bis present term
expires.

several gentlemen in New Orleans
and Washington city, which, II
half we hear be true, would blacken
their souls with the most foul acts
Of v%illainy ever perpetrated through
and under the color OF law.
If Mr., Hayes is reported correct'
ly in saying that he deems the con-
viction of Anderson as a violation
of the pledges made last spring.
which facts were stated IN the
Washington dispatches of last week.
then he stands convicted OF a false
hood upon his own testimony, Tor
he has said upon more than one
occasion that there was no bargain
and sale in the recognition OF the
Nichols government in Louisiana.
The threats of old John Sherman
and his followers to play the Wild
generally for the Fo-called outrage
on Anderson, should remind the
tee-nancer-er that people WHO live
in glass houses should not throw
stones. His violent language is
not apt to stay proceedings against
his brethren in crime, as the people
of Louisiana do not scare worth a
cent. Leading democrats in and
out of congress, while they doubt
the cxpediency Of the proceedings
against the returning board just at
this time, nevertheless yield acqul-
escence and approve the verdict,
and that for the administration to
interfere would be impolitic and
possibly lead to serious trouble.

The success of the leading literary paper OF
the West, The CHICAGO LEDGER, is truly re-
markable. Since its introduction to the read
ing public, SIX years ago, THE LEDGER has
steadily advanced in favor, and is now a-
knowledged second to no paper of the KIND IN
the country. Its circu lation ID national, and
has been obtained through the efforts OF It's
publishers to produce a paper of high moral
character, and at the same time sell it at a price
consistent with the present hard times. That
they have succeeded, and well. too, the thou
sands of readers of Tar LEDGE scattered from
Maine to Texas and from Oregon to fIorlds
will bear testimony. The CHICAGO LEDGE
Is a large forty-eight column weekly paper,
which contains stories both complete ana
continued, in each number, written BY the
best autho, g, and a great variety Of informa'
ton interesting to every one. The su6scrip.
ton price of THE LEDGER is only $l5O per
year, postage paid, and it is equal in every
particular to other papers OF the same charae.
Ter which sell for So a year. Three copies OF
this valuable paper will be sent to any enc %no
sends 10 cents and their address to lHA
LEDGER, Chicago, Ill.

HAYES, ANDERSON, EFT Al.

From the dispatches in the daily
papers during the past weak, it
would seem that the conviction Of
Anderson of the Louisiana return>
ing board, at New Orleans, has
considerably stirred up the admins
tration and his fellow cabinet Off
GERS to a red heat. Whewl They
are the worst stirred up set of men
we ever heard of. The meeting of
Greek vs.. Greek was nothing to
compare with the bile of wrath they
bave been vomiting up during the
past few days. Well, weary lies
the head that wears the crown.
These bright and shining lights
of the party of great moral ideas
are so afraid of their own indicts
ment and conviction iD the criminal
courts, that we are not surprised
at their virtuous (?) indignation in
behalf of Brother Anderson"
To quiet a disputed title by the
hocus pocus of an electoral tribunal
begets that the recipients thereof
should keep themselves quiet, and
if the Hon. John Sherman ct ell.

MONDAY the house concurrent
resolution appropriating $1,000 to
lave the remains Of ex>Gov. John
j. McRae brought TO this country
and inferred at the capital was
amended by inserting $3.50. After
ward, on motion of Mr.. Miller, the
resolution was tabled. Why the
legislature refuses to appropriate
money to have the remains of this
honored citizen buried upon his
native soil we cannot understand.
The bill should certainly become a

THE senate joint resolution 10 cub.
nit an amendment to the constitu-
ton that no person who denies the
existence of God, or who does not
believe in a future state Of reward
and punishment shall be eligible to
hold Office in the state, was killed in
the senate last Monday. That is
perfectly correct. This is not a
Christian government, but is COM
posed alike of Jews, Christians,
Unitarians, and of all creeds and
beliefs, and no legislature or state
has the right to say what q man
shall or shall not believe. As well
might the legislature submit an
amendment saying that no one shall
hold Office who does not belong to
the Catholic, Baptist, Methodist, or
any other particular church, and
equally with as much rropriety, we
think.

In 1852 q family Of eight persons
were murdered in Brazil, and the
house containing the bodies was
burned. A rich planter and three
of lis slaves were tiled for the
crime, convicted upon purely cir,
cumstantlal evidence, and executed.
A man has just made a deathsbed
confession, however, in which he
asserts that he committed the whole
sale slaughter without the aid or
knowledge of the parties who were
hanged Tor it.

and ably and ingeniously argued
by The distric t attorney'be correct,
and which is, that admitting the
rule as stated, it does not apply toa
case where the United States are
plaintiff, in q suit in one OF their
own courts, that in such case the
Federal court is not mi Of concur
rent Jurisdiction With the state
court, but Of paramount jurisdiction !;
that the United States have a con-
stitutional right to resort to their
own courts to enforce their rights.
That they'd do possess this right
is uncontroyerted, but | am of the
opinion that when the United States
bring suit against a citizen, for the
enforcement OF any real or supo
posed right, they can claim moth.
ing which is not equally the right
of a citizen, and that when a state
is a party, the same rule is applied.
The writ of replcvin provided by
the laws of the STATE was not in
fol- ce in this court until adopted by
rule of this court about the time
this suit was brought (; before that
time the United States were only
en- titltd to an action Of trover, or
trespass, and could not have seiz'd
the property until after judgmeht
upon the proper showing. The
actors of trover and trespass were
and are still afforded to the United
States, and could be prosecuted
without interfering with the pos
session Of the property obtained by
the circuit court of jackson county.
If the person holding the property
under such bond or a purchaser
from him is about TO remove the
same from the jurisdiction of the
court, upon bill filed alleging the
Insolvency Of the Defendant an ins
junction will be granted to prevent
the removal.
So soon as the litigation is ended
in the state court, the property may
be seized if the defendant. shall be
successful, or if tho plaintiff succeed,
it may be secured Ivy process of re-
plevin against him. Any risk which
the Unites States may run in failing
to get an immediate seizure of the
property would not equal the injury
that would result from the conflict
Of Jurisdiction contended for by the
district attorney for it must be re-
membered that it would authorize
the seizure in the possession OF the
sheriff, as well as in the possession
of any one else.
1t must be admitted that there
may be cases in which the ends Of
Justice might be promoted by allow
ing one party to take property out
of the possession of an officer holding
it under another writ Of replevin,
especially as our replevin act does
not allow third parties to intervene,
as in case Of attachment and execu.
ton, and to enable this to be done
in one or more states, it is allowed
by statute, but that it requires this
enabling statute, is an argument
that without it it cannot be done !;
none such exists in this state. A
very careful consideration Of the
question submitted satisfies me that
the seizure by the marshal in this
case was unauthorized and void,
therefore the marshal will be dis
rectcd to release the property from
the levy, and deliver it to the de-
PENDANT. r.. A. HILL, Judge.

Bob INGERsoLL's lecture in New
York city last week, before a crowd
of applauding and cheering scoffers
of Christianity, is the most bitter
and ~sacrllegious speech we ever
read. He not only sneers at God,
the Bible and Christianity, but
says be even hates those who believe
in the religion of Christ, and has no
respect for those who preach His
word. II may be that be will %ipjure
the cause Of religion, but in our
opinion he only strengthens the
convictions Of those who are
Christians.

STANDARD rs. NARROW GAUGE.

I%'DiND ' -
The PAsCAGoULA STAR objects to
the road TO run centrally through
the state TO the sea coast teing nar-
row gauge, because its loaded cars
cannot be transferred to other roads
of standard gauge. In answer to
the objection, we suggest that a con-
trivance to set loaded cars on stand
ard gauge trucks is easier and
cheaper than the excess in cost of
building "a full size road over a mars
row gauge Medid;an Mercury.
We are well aware of the fact
that there is a coutriYance to raise
cars from the narrow gauge and set
them on trucks of the standard
width, and also of the fact that
there is considerable expense, time
and trouble in changing cars from
one track to another By this means.
In the end we believe money would
be saved by building a road of the
regular gauge. We will not dispute
about these matters, Bro. Horn, just
give us a road through the state to
the coast and we will be satisfied,
though we much prefer a road Of
the standard width.
