THE TERRIBLE FEVER.

A fact or two in the following extract of
letter addressed to resident of this city
will attract attention. The writer is tele-
graph official at Jackson, Miss, now in
southern county of that State-or more ex-
actly in the centre of Southern Mississippi
AS the reader will see by reference to the
map:
UNION CHURCH, JEFFERSON Co., Miss,
Oct. 2S, 1873.
DEAR JUDGE: ] have been here
since September, having fed from the fever to
a place of safety. When ] can safely return to
jackson is very uncertain. We have had two
or three light frosts, but they were not sutli-
ciont to wilt the most sensitive vegetation.
The season has bcon an extraordinary one.
Peach and plum trees here on my fathers
place have bloomcd again. Two large walnut
trees have shed their foliage and put forth new
leaves as in the spring. They never did the
| like before. We think Of nothing but frost,
and each morning we are doomed to
| fresh disappointment. This morning Is
quite cool, and we hope the NOR.
row will bring a black and killing frost.
will not tell you Of the fever. You see enough
Of that in the papers. Among the last vic.
tins is Dr. CRUPToS, q great loss.
Your friend, JOHN A. GALBREArH.

sonally | am taking NO part In this election, as
Republicans are not to be benefited either way.
II is Kilkenny contest between Democrats,
and they now see for themselves how pleasant
II Is to be bull.dozed. II was all right 20 long
as confined exclusively to the suppression Of
Republicans but now, when applied to and by
Democrats, and 1t is brought home to them,
they denounce 1t as q terrible outrage. The
election In this State Is farcc-the number OF

WHEN FIrz-JoHN PORTER asked for the
privilege of a rehenring Of his case he SIM
ply claimed that he had discovered some
new evidence, which he desired to submit
10 the authorities as the basis of future ac-
ton, either by Congress or the President,
regarding the disabilitic7 imposed upon him
by the sentence of the court-martial of 1868
Since then he. has gradually encroached
upon and beyond the limits of this privi-
lcge, until now it appears that he not only
desires to present newly-discoyercd evil
dence, but to 20 over and over all. the old
testimony taken by that court But this
desire is circumscrbed pby fear that
repetition of some of this, old testimony
will iniure his case; hence the refusal of
his counsel to call General POPE as wit
ness, although that officer has sgnided his
willingness to respond to such a call with
out delay.

MISSISSIPPI POLITICS,

We give below part Of business letter
from Mississippi. The writer is a .reliobe
gentleman, and the facts explain themselves
Indeed, explanations would only render
tame the very terse and clear statements oil
one who is on the spot and writes from eX-
periencc and observation:
DAVIS aud MULDRow spoke here last week,
The meeting was turbulent aud an ntOlerant
spirit WAS manifested, It is more than prOba
bic that DAVIS will receive large majority oi

that he will be counted out, us there will be
no scrupes in that regard. The c9!Orud vote

THE Post-eror is fiat newspaper. It de-
clires itself to be newspaper and expects
everybody to accept it as such, when its
own assertion is the only evidence given OF
the fact. 1t has n fiat circulation stamped
upon its head lines each day, and yet its
figures represent nothing real; while its
conductors are mere fiat gentlemen, with
out any resources Of decency with which to
secure redemption.

CANADIAN RECIPROCITY,

The Canadas have recently held an cleo
ton at which the MCDONALD or Free-Trade
party were victorious This paves the way
for a new and strenuous effort with the
American Congress in behalf of the restora-
ton of the Reciprocity Treaty which was
abrogated in 1866, The Cnnadas prospered
under that treaty, 1t was partial and not
reciprocal in It's benefits and hence the
United States, after enduring it for Longer
period than its true interests would justify
declared it off, and it has remained of lol
twelve years, and during that period tn,
CanNdas have not prospered as they did un
der its continuance.
During this intervening period the

HAYES may rage and DEvENs may rage, and
the horde Of partisan bloodhounds may rage
but t. programme announced by the Admin
istration will not only make avery solid South,
but it will hasten the erection Of grand, bold

That is, the President may insist upon q
proper respect for the Constitution, and the
Attorney-General may take measures to
enforce the laws and protect the rights OF

South more solid in its determination to
override the Constitution and laws with

The state house commissioners organized a
year ago to-day, so that with yesterday
closed the first year of its operations. In
that time the board has examined and re-
jected the plans bequeathed TO it by the leg
islature, visited and inspected many of the
public buildings in various parts of the
county. The new plans, twenty-four in
number, have been examined and one Sc
lected, and the board now announces itself
as ready to receive bids for making the ex.
cavation for the state house. An ltemized
statement shows the expenses of the board
on all accounts up to May amounted to

The prosecuting attorney appeared to toss
up the names of the wives so far known in a
mental hat and called Mrs. Susan w. Kicks,

was known TO be not a misnOmer when q
very slim, very pTim and very straight lady,
with hair vergng closely on what used to be
rudsly called red, took the stand. Sus IN did
not know what her number would be in q
corrected list of the Kicks helpmstes She
could swear positively to only one who stood
ahead OF her in the class--LOnisa M. Kicks,
nee Rich, of Louisville, Kentucky. Susie
had enlisted in the ranks at no less sacred a
place than Angels Camp, Calaveras county,
in February. 1857, but quit the service in
June, 1860. In February, 1861, she

The editors of the Indianapolis Sun are

of a coalition between the national and
democratic parties. In this respect they are
political saints (?) of sDotless purity How

to form an alliance with the democrats in or

brother Tom? What kind of an LASS was par

How long is it since this same Jim Buchanan
was an independent candidate for congress
in the interest of John Hanna, a republican
nominee? Did Jim appear in his''true garb"

they participate in the spoils of that coup

was it a matter of pure principle? In what
way did it laid" the independent "cause"

One day it is tin pedder, next some patent

Pepper than keepirg cJrner in the cogno-
men of Kicks. ia which so many other women
claimed an undivided interest. The next
name drawn was that of the Rev. Conrad
Trevier who testified to having married
Kicks to Polly Peckham, OF this city, on the
9th day of October last. Kicks himself next
took the stand In 1861 he was canvassing
for house I'm Sacramento. In 1862 be
arted for his old Kentucky home, and
actually reached there without having been
married more than once on the route, and
that not until he had reached Cincinnati,
where he espoused Hortense Deerman.
About this time, his heart being sfiame with
love of his country as well a. of his country
women, he entered the service as
a chaplain and wrestled might ~ with the

that phlegmatic citizen that he had over

Louisville college, Kentucky, in 1S49, when
he married Louisa Rich; but If ne was not
mistaken as to the particular wife, she had
got divorce from him along in 1888, there

wife designated as the Pepper wife

Counsel for Mr.. Kicks made very touching
appeal for his discharge. Susan Pepper had
cast him off, thereby becoming a Pepper
