The address Of Mai. II. Barksdalc on
Wednesday last, at the court house was
able, eloquent and appropriate. lie
first presented a resume of the politi-
cal history Of Mississippi under carpet
bag and Democratic rule, contrasting
the corruptions, expressions and ex-
travagancc of the one with the honesty
benificcnce and economy ofthe other.
Under the present regime state taxes
had been reduced from IL to 16 mills
on the dollar to 3 1-2 mills which is the
levy for the...prescnt year;ssthe state
debt, which was over one million OF
dollars, is now about three hundred
thousand; warrants are at par; re-
ceipts of the treasury exceed disburse-
mcnts and confidence in the govern
mcnt of the commonwealth Is every
where restored.
/ fle next'paid his respects in pecu-
liarly forciblc and impressive manner
to that miserable abortion ola thing
called the Grcenback or Independent
party, showing the wrong and folly OF
Democrats endcavoring to breathe
life into such worthless and unprom-
Using bantling. There never was q
time he thought, when it was gilmore
importance to maintain the integrity
and pcrpetuity of the old Democratic
party. which has redeemed and Olsen
thrallcd our state and alone furnishes
hope of a reunited country, the resto-
ration of commercial activity, and 1.-THE
preservation of the constitution of our
fathers.
Ills review of the leading questions
in national politics was interesting, in
structive and timely. On the financial
question, he showed plainly that there
could be no just ground ..of complaint
among true Democrats: for their par
ty was outspokcn and sound on n suf:
ficiency of circulating medium, low
taxes, redemption of bonds lin green
backs, the restoration Ofsilvcr to lev
eli with gold, abolition Of national
banks and many other needed reforms
Altogether the speech was telling
one, and did much credit to Maj. Banks
dale as q statesman and orator. II
showcd-as everybody knew-that he
is thoroughly posted in state and natl
onal politics, has positive views and
expresses them boldly, fearlessly and
ably.

NERVE

in Batesville, Ark, ON the 18th inst.
occurred a remarkable case of calmness
in prospect of an immediate and GER
tain death. On that day in the pres
ence of a vast concourse of people, a
man named Robert N Lancaster was
executed for q murder committed in
December, 1877. The night before the
execution, the doomed one slept pro-
foundry and awoke only at 8 O'Clock
ON the last morning of his life. When
called on by clergymen he was cheer
full. He talked affectionately and ear.
nestly to a fellow prisoner likewise I'M
der sentence for murder, warning him
to prepare to meet his doom. On his
way to the place of execution, Lancas-
ter convcrsed nationally and checrfully
with his legal and clerical councillors
and when he reached the scaffold he
mounted it with a firm, steady step
calmly smiling as he looked at the mul.
titude. lie maintained the same quiet
and undisturbed dcmcanor during Il
final PRAYER and while his death war
rant was read. lie was permitted to
speak and said:

The acquital of Henry Gully in our
ncighboring county of Kemper seems
to give general satisfaction, except a
few enemies of his family :.and the peo-
pie of Kemper. II was proven by nu-
merous witnesses that he did not even
have a gun in his hand on the day, of
the riot, and could not have done any
shooting, and that he did all he colud
to prevent Chisholm from coming
down stairs, telling him, if he did, he
would be killed.
Judge Woodford who evidently does
not admire the political sentiment of a
portion of the people of Kelnper, says
that the trial was fairly and properly
conducted; Notwithstanding this, the
villainous Radical papers of the North
are crying out against the trial--that
it was a sham and fraud.
