A Learned Convict.

David Peters is big, burly, thick Tipped
negro of the true African type who was
convicted in Newport eleven years ago of
an attempted assault upon little girl and
sentenced to fifteen years in the State
prison. During the whole time he has
been incarcerated his demeauor has been
irreproachable, and not only has he never
had single bad-conduct mark but he bas
obtained very excellent opinion from all
the officials. Soon after entering upon his
prison life Peters, who was very ignorant
took to studying and has steadily applied
himself to the improvement of his mind
ever since. The result is that he is to-day
one of the best scholars in the State, and
as lipguist has few equals in t he country.
He has mastered French, German, Italian,
Spanish, Hebrew, Greek, Latin, Sanskrit,
Portuguese and number of other Ian
guages. He has frequently delivered
orations before the other prisoners His
pardon is recommended by City Solicitor
Peckham, Governor Van Zlndt and others
aud will be granted.

A Horrible Plot.

On Sunday night diabolcal attempt
was made upon the life of John Stager, an
old and we'll known citizen of Jonestown.
Just before entering bis bed, to retire for
the night, upon Withdrawing the coverets,
he was Mortified to see large butcher
knife SO placed, horizontally in the bed,
that had he jumped in the blade would
have pierced him through and through.
Mr. s. is about rs years old, rather feeble,
and walks with difficulty, having broken
a leg about year ago. Hc resides with
his son Henry's wife, who, besides grand
son of Mr.. Stager's, are the ouly occupants
of the house. 1t is'a mystery as to who
could have conceived this horrible plot
against the old man, whose life has been
such as to make every man his friend. An
effort will be made to investigate the
matter.

There seems to be a growing OPP

manner in which caucuses and con

does not reflect the will OF tile peo

1t seems to us from the lights be

exalted or important the Office may
be, whether it be an office of honor
or profit, it is all the came, or wheth-
er the individual be qualified by
honesty OF purpose or capacity of

In January next our Legislature
will be called upon to elect Z. S.
Senator, to fill the place now Occu-
pied by b. X. Bruce, aud in elects
ing an individual to this important
position certainly the will of the
people should be consulted.
We have very large majority. of
Democrats in both branches of our
State Legislature, and no sort OF
danger can possibly arise in regard
to electing any one but IA Democrat,
and if the will of the people OF Mis-
sissippi could be reflected as it
should, Mississippi's truest and best

pie for a great number of years in

grown gray in the service Of Miss

he was always true to the interest
