at Warm Springs, in charge of Theodore
Henkes, who is insane. Mr.. Henkes has been
in the employ of Mr.. Lewis for a number of
years engaged in herding sheep, and was an
excellent shepherd. His arrangement is
thought to have arisen from injuries receiv-
ed in the fall he got down a shaft while min
ing at the lower end of Diamond about
three and a half years ago.

IHE Graham combination showed to a
fair house at Diamond, on the evening of
the 9TH, having previously played to crowd
ed houses at Centerville and Canton. The
music by the brass band carried Diamond
back to the remembrance of her days of
former greatness. The company made
good music both with horn and str1nged in
struments. Master Tommy's jig was per-
formed amidst a shower of silver, ranging
from the dollar of our daddies down to a
quarter. Prof. Harmon's v~entriloquism,
though given under the disadvantage of a
sort throat, was very pleasing and gave
good satisfaction. Other features were
laughable but not ont of the usual line of
slightof-hand performances.

THERE is to be a horse race at White Sui
phur Springs for a purse of $75, October
18th, as will be seen by reference to the
advertisement of Spencer Bros, elsewhere
in this issue. Butte has had her season of
flyers, Helena, Missoula and Bozeman will
have had their day ere this date. In as
much as the fancy stock of our n%eighboring
counties have been put to the test, is it not
mete that the ''cow ponies' of the scow
county" have a chance to show what they
can do at the coming races Such is the
Spencer Bros. conclusion, and they have
offered a purse such as will insure a field
full of competitors. October is the best
season for sporting that could have been
chosen, and we predict a large turnout.
The races are to be followed by a grand ball
In the evening, music for which is to be fur
nished by Prof. Hewins celebrated band.

THE Washington correspondent of
the New York Herald says that Secre-
tary Sherman Twill urgently recon-
mend in his annual report the repeal of
the law making it mandatory upon the
Treasury Department to coin the stand
ard silver dollars. He will show that
not one-fourth of the amount already
coined has gone into circulation, and
its accumulation is not only becoming
source of annoyance to the Treasury,
but currency is being locked up in the
most unsatisfactory manner by the pro-
visions Of the law requiring the month
ly coinage of not less than two millions
of standard silver dollars, besides the
useless tax on the capacity of the mint. /"
The trouble with the Secretary who
has massed his millions of private for
tune in serving the privileged classes,
is that he does not want to put the sill
yer dollars into circulation. Why does
he not use them in paying the interest
on the public debt2 Doesn't the Re
funding Act of 1870 say that the bonds
Of the United States shall be paid sin
COIN of the standard value then in
existing; and is not silver included in
that phrase2 It was so understood by the
fathers, when they framed the Consti-
tuition and required Congress to sscoins
money.

Hon. T. L. Mellen, of Adams.

The coming Legislature will contain many
new members and young men of brilliant
promise, but none more SO than the dis
tinguished young lawyer, who has just
been returned, by an unprecedented MAORI
ty, as a representative from this time
honored old county. Mr.. NJ. is the son of
the late VIM. P. Mellen, editor of the
Natchez Courier, often member of the
Legislature, and the confidential friend and
coadjutor of John A. Quitnan. He is a
nephew of the late Col. John B. Peyton of
Ray mond, so conspicuous in the history of
Kinds county; a grandson of Hon. Seth
Lewis, chief justice of the Mississippi Ter
ritory, and cousin of the late Hon. John 1.
Guion, of Vicksburg. His brother, Hon.
VIM F. Mellen, one of the most distinguish
ed lawyers in the South, is now Professor of
Law in the University of Louisiana. Mr..
Mellen enjoys large practice here, but at
the earnest desire of our people who have
important interests at stake, he consented
to stand for the Legislature and has been
triumphantly elected. In private life Mr..
NJ maintains the highest character, and is
a member of the Methodist episcopal
church You may congratulate the State
on having obtained the services of young
man of eminent talent, great energy, and
unblemished integrity.

The Available Democratic Candidate
for the Presidency.

WHAT THE WASHINGTON POST SAYS.
Washington Post.
There is but one man in New York, the
State from which every question of party
policy demands that the nominee be taken,
who fulfills these conditions, and that man
is Horatio Seymour.
The elections of 1873 and 1879 have re-
duced our chances of success next year to
this limit. We must carry New York. We
must carry Indiana. We must carry the
South in its entirety, We have nothing to
hope for in Ohio; Pennsylvania and Con-
neticut have declared finally against us, and
the States of the Pacific slope are doubtful
at least, and not to be relied upon. New
Jersey we shall undoubtedly carry next
year, but while its Electoral vote will go to
Increase our total majority, it will not make
up for the loss of any one of the eighteen
States we have here referred to- 1t simply
becomes question now as to whether Gov.
Seymour can be induced to run. We speak
entirely within the bounds of facts when we
state that he can have the nomination unan-
imously conferred upon him if he will &C
cept it. Simply have it understood that he
is ready to take up the party standard if
called upon to do so, and none of the Dem
ocratic aspirants now considered to be con-
testing the prize would allow themselves to
oppose him. They would all be only too
willing to yield to his superior claims, and
acknowledge his pre-eminent fitness. As to
Mr.. Seymour himself we have the deepest
of faith to believe that if, as we limited in a
former article, the matter finally resolves
itself into a question of the party's succeed
ing with aim, for its leader, or being defeat
ed without him, he will not refuse to meet
the emergency He must not decline. He
cannot decline.

A Great Man Has Fallen in Israel.

DIR. Lovick Pierce, ''the father of
Methodism in Georgia" died in Sparta,
in that State, on the 18th inst, in the
95th year of his age. He entered the
ministry in 1904, was an army chaplain
of the war of 1912, and delegate to the
General Conferences of 1886, 1910 and
1914. Since the organization of the
Southern Church, in 1916, he has been
a delegate TO its General Conferences.
He sat in the Louisville Conference of
1874 with his son and grandson, the
son, George Foster Pierce, having been
a Bishop for twenty years. His last ap-
pearance before the public, where his
age and grand historic character render
ed him an object of general interest, was
at the General Conference of his Church
at Atlanta, in 1873.

The Democratic majority in the Uni
ted States Senate is too precarious to
be trifled with. The first question
that will come up on the reopening of
that body will be the contested seat
occupied by Kellogg. 1t cannot be
spared to pretender who is not entitled
to it, and his occupancy is standing
fraud upon the people of Louisiana
We will not undertake to say that Judge
Spoford who claims i, It's legally entitled
to the position, but we do maintain that
Kellogg is not, that it ought to be de-
clared vacant and the question RENTED
to the people of Louisiana for their
action. By the agency of President
Hays's own chosen commission headed
by Wayne MacVeagh, the Legislature
which elected Kellogg dispersed and
vanished into thin air-thus admitting
its own illegality and incompetency. 1t
performed the farce of electing him
and then vanished like a bubble and
has been heard of no more from that
day to the present. The Democratic
party in the Senate could not afford to sur
render the seat he occupies evenif their
majority was large. Much less can they
do it with the frail tenure they now
hold upon that body.

THE proposed scheme at Madrid for
the gradual emancipation of the slaves
on the island of Cuba is found to be
illegal and impractieable, and the Span
ish minister of the colonies has intro
dueed in the Spanish parliament, or
Cortes, bill for immediate emancipa-
ton, though this is not likely to be
practically real emancipation for
some time to come-and for this reason.
The state of the Spanish exchequer
does not permit the home government
to pay the slave owners for emancipa-
ting their slaves, and hence the social
ed freedmen will be ''held to service"
at fixed wages, with their former mas
tiers for a certain period, under the pro-
lection of the government. Thus the
negroes have still to work out their
own freedom, and when they have sue
ceeded, it is an unsolved problem
whether they will know what to do
with it.

No doubt numerous friends of the
Hon. George Torrey, of Jefferson, in
other counties where he is well known,
may have seen with surprise that he re-
ceived votes for Sheriff against Mr.. Nc
Cormick, the regular Democratic nomi-
nee. To persons who know this true
hearted and unfinching Democrat as
we do, it is hardly necessary to
say that this liberty was taken with
his name by the opponents of
his party surreptiously and without
his consent, much less connivance.
When he discovered the trick, he posted
friends in each beat to say thatif elected
in that way he would not accept the
office. To use his own expressive
phrase, she would not be showed in at
the back door, if he could not go in at
the front"

GEN. WooDFoRD, of New York, who
has been the recipient of numerous
marked attentions from our Southern
people, don't yet seem to understand
and appreciate them. Here is the con-
clusion of his speech at the Grant
banquet in Chicago:
BY the God of battles, we will have for
every comrade, for every black man, all the
rights and privileges that we have yolunta-
rily given to the rebels. Abroad in all
foreign lands, he said, our Aag-and there
is none so beautiful-fully protects the
American citizen his land il honored, his
praise is sung, but in our Southern States
American citizenship is ignored. / charge
you, he concluded, my comrades, whether
Republican or Democrat it matters not,
that you see to it that American citizenship
protects the American ballot all over this
land.
