TRY THE TRUTH.
ISAAC N. UN Q DID,
Vice President.

1t has been asserted by the Republicans,
that no black man was acquitted of CAPT.
tai offence. In this county, for the past
forty wears. This assertion was without
auv foundation, and must be classed as q
deliberate libel upon the upright admins
tration of justice in our county. The
,lander was the more wicked, as trip to
New Castle and an examination Of the
docket of the Court of Oyer and Terminer,
would have given the exact information re-
ouired. "Every Evening"" in its usual
slp>shod, biliingsgate, talked Of the IRE.
pablican" as "dirty bird" for soiling its
nest, it also deserves censure for Its cul-
pable ignorance upon the subject, It under"
took to scold the Republicans for broach~
ing.
The facts are so eloquent, that brief
statement will set the cbage at rest, and
establishes upon this point the stupidity OF
both, the "Republican," and "Every Eve
ming"
We examined the Docket back to 1867
that is a little over one-fourth of the period
stated by the "Republican; in that time
we find the following colored persons who
escaped conviction, when charged with
capital felony:
John Till, May Term 1857, murder !;
VIM. Waters, Nov. Term 1857, murder !;
Aaron Conner, May Term 1868, rape !;
Daniel Brown, Nov. Term 1869, rape;
Alfred Bay ,e, Nov. Term 1871, rape !;
Anne Tier, may Term 1878, murder
Frank Beaston, Nov. Term 1879, Rape;
will the "Republican" persist in it's libel
upon the impartial administration OF JUS
tice in our county after this showing?

The Phoenix Opening and Reception.

The opening and reception by the mem
bers of the Phoenix Fire Company last Sat
urday evening was pleasant affair and
called together large number of our citi-
zens to inspect the building and rooms of
the Phoenix boys. The building from top
to bottom had been swept and garnished and
placed in the most home-like and neat con-
dition showing extra good taste in its ar
rsngement. Of course the Silsby under the
magic hand of Charlie Straw was as bright
as dollar with everything pertaining to
her ready for service when required The
Company's meeting room was a surprise to
everyone; its fine tasty appearance, its floor
nicely carpeted and the walls decorated with
handsome pictures, principally representing
scenes in the life of an American Fireman
not forgetting, however the excellent crayoa
OF chief marshal Schultz from the pencil of
}. b. Murphy, and present to the company
from Straw & Murphy. The Phoenix mas
tiff was on hand and enjoyed the thing
equally with the other members We were
glad to see the boys had the nucleus for
library On their table and we hope they will
be able to increase the number of their
books until their collection becomes quite
large. Those having volumes to spare could
make good use of them by presenting them
to the Phoenix Library. The Phoenix boys
were unremitting in their attention to their
guests throughout the evening and proved
themselves TO be gentlemen as we'll as
prompt, efficient and gallant fremen when
duty calls.

The New Orleans Democrat says: "It is
conceivable that individuals should lind
their llfe-burdens so overweighing as to
make suicide welcome release; but when
a community reaches this point of despera-
ton we must express surprise. Yet in the
Mississippi Legislature recently there was
introduced an act to repeal the charter and
dissolve the corporation of the Mayor and
Aldermen OF the city of Vicksburg. This
act creates no new charter and makes no
provision for the city debt, so it virtually
abolishes the city of Vicksburg and resolves
it back into Warren County. There is
some probability that the bill will succeed,
and thus by its own hand the metropolis of
Mississippi will pass out of municipal ex-
istence to escape its bondholders." Now,
here is an idea for Watertown, should the
bondholders persist IN crowding US to the
wall aud threatening destruction to the
city by insisting on the full payment oil
their demands. We are not prepared te
advocate the measure at present, but if by
some such operation as this, the city CAL
get rid of its bonded Indebtedness. and tina
other curse, the present Board of Stree
Commissioners, we are not sure bat Vicks
blrg's example should be followed. TIL
plan is worth considering, certainly.

ehcacious medicine yet known for
the diseases it is intended to cure.
Its ingredients are so skilfully COM
bined, that the full Alternative effect of
each is assured, and while it is so mild
as to be harmless even to children, it is
still so effectual as to purge out from the
system those impurities and corruptions
which develop into loathsome disease.
The reputation it enjoys is derived
from its cures, and the confidence which
prominent physicians all over the coun-

of its usefulness.
Certificates attesting its virtues have
accumulated, and are constantly being
received, and as many of these cases are
publicly known, they furnish convincing
evidence of the superiority of this Sar-
