For sweet Mary Oh May Day.
One Angel looked with wonder
On his precious little child,

He's SO strangely pure and midi
II might only bring him
And place ut Mary's feet
'Twould be cen for our May Queen

Though Jesus, dearest Savior.
With His tender, human Heart,
Knew how painful is the cutting
OF our earthly ties apart,
Still he said: ''Tuke him. good Angel,
To bc Ny Mothers own. :
will I'LL the hearts that mourn him
With the purest joys, full soon."
Without labor, without sorrow,
He is now Prince OF Heaven,
Waiting on our gracious May Queen,
To whose service he Is given.
And he oft looks fondly Earthw2rd,
Watching till his loved ones come.
Oh! some day he'll run to greet them
With the glad cry, ''Wclcome Home!"

south Carolina and Massachusetts,
"A Companion.


Senator Butler in his recent address
at an Agricultural Fair at Chester,
South Carolina, produced some statis-
ties to show the claim set up for all the
morals, religion and observance of law
is with the North and that all the vice,
lawlessness and crime is with the South.
Taking the criminal statistics of Massa-
chusetts and South Carolina for exam
pie, he said:
The latter State, with population OF
7O5. sos, had in 1870, 2,343 paupers, sup
ported at an annual cost of 1921, 805, whilst
Massachusetts with population of ,45o,
80, about. twice the population OF South
Carolina, had at the same period S,O36 pau
perS about four times as many as South
Carolina. On the 1st of June, 1870, South
Carolina had 1872 persons in prison, and
Massachusetts had 1922, more than three
times as many as South Carolina, yet she
had twice the population. Continuing the
comparison we Will find that IN 1870 Mas
sachusetts had 1862 insane persons, whilst
South Carolina had but 333, eight times as
many with twice the population, or four
times as many with the same population.
OF the 1872 prisoners in South Carolina, on
ly 100 were native white, and 5S4 colored
and Is foreign born, and of 1926 prisoners
in Massachusetts,, there were ,l02 native
white, 139 colored and ], 235 foreign born.
This comparison will show similar results
when made with any of the other Nor thern
States, and it is proper to be made TO cor
rect misapprehensions at home as we'll as
abroad.

How a Democratic Stronghold is to
be Carried.

Indiana is a Democratic fortress hith-
erto impregnable but the Republican
tacticians have devised new plan of
assaulting her. The Democratic State
Central Committee of Indiana has posi-
tive information of a Republican scheme
on foot to colonize 10000 negroes in the
State between this and the first of
April. They think that by SO doing
they will be able to carry the State in
1880. In his speech at Indianapolis,
Wednesday night, Gov. Hendricks
alludes to the Radical programme as
follows:
"They intend to import negroes. IA
voice, I'VE won't stand that l say it is
the deliberate purpose of the Republicans
to do this They know they can't carry the
State of Indiana. They have contested it
year after year under the great leader, Gov.
Morton, and since his death under their
present leader, Gen. Harrison. But they
can't make an impression upon the Demo
cratic sentiment-the Democratic phalanx
of this State. Now their purpose is to
overcome the majority by the importation
of colored men from the Southern States.
A voice, they never can No, they
never can. Applause. But of their pur-
pose you may be advised They have their
organization. 1t has its center in Wash
ington City. With the machinery of the
society known as an Emigration Aid Asso-
citation, they have provided for carrying
out this purpOse-the importing of voters
into the State of Indiana"

Death of a Mississippi Journalist.

In the death of Mr.. Paul a. Botto,
of the Natchez Democrat, the press of
Mississippi has lost one of its worthiest
members. He was born in Italy in
1910, but has resided in Mississippi
since his childhood. He became con-
nected with the Natchez press soon after
the war in WHICH he bore his part
becomingly as a dutiful son of his
adopted State, and remained with 1T
until the time of his death. He was
discreet, courteous and considerate, and
was never betrayed in the heat of party
strife to indulge in mere personal as
saults upon political foes or others
whose cause he antagonized. For
several years past Thomas Grafton,
ESQ, has been associated with him in
the editorial management of the Dem
ocrat, and we believe the conduct of
the paper has devolved upon him almost
entirely for a year past. He Is an
experienced journalist, and an able one,
we'll versed in the duties as well as in
the proprieties of journalism. We
presume the paper will continue under
his control, and in mourning the death
of Mr.. Botto we are consoled by the
reflection that his journal viii lose moth
ing of its ability and efficiency.

1880.

The solid South, will give 138 votes
for any Democratic candidate who Will
be nominated. Indiana is set down a.
certainly Democratic, with its ID Elec-
toral votes, making 153 in all. The
Democratic candidate who can carry
these and New York, with its 30 Flee
toral votes, will be elected, and New
York herself has a statesman who can
sweep his State like a whirlwind. He
carried it over Gen. Grant in 1868,
when the latter was fresh with his laurels
on the battle field. He has no entang-
ling alliances. His character for purity
and uprightness is not excelled by that
Of any other American statesman living
or dead. His craftsmanship is not sur
passed. He is even fwar Governor
if there is anything in that term to lull
the angry passions of the sectional par
ty that dominates most of the Northern
States. He would not only sweep New
York and the solid South, but the
whole country, like whirlwind. His
name is HOratio Seymour.

For Cotton Planters.

A New Orleans commission firm has
sent out the following circular which
contains matter of interest to cotton
planters:
As much trouble to the factor and ex-
pense to the shipper is being incurred on
sticky fax-bagging, we again call your at
tention to a rule Of the Cotton Exchange,
made public last spring:
Rule 27.-"On and after September 1,
1879, all fax-baygin filled with shives,
and all other bagging which when wet, will
stain cotton, shall be considered unmer-
charitable; and all cotton covered there
with shall be recovered with merchantable
bagging at the expense of the seller"
In advocating the passage of this rule
the buyers claimed that insurance conpa-
MES refused to pay losses resulting from
saltwater damage on cotton covered with
such bagging; that the shiyes or sticks be-
came mingled with the cotton, and would
not only deteriorate the value of the manu-
featured article, but injure the machinery
of the mills; that as cotton is the only COM
modify on which tare is not allowed for
the covering, they had right to insist
on such bagging as would not inAict dam
age
They are now enforcing this rule very
rigidly, and in every case are requiring
sellers to comply with it. The cost of re-
moving the Objectionable bagging and re-
covering with merchantable is 81 90 per
bale. We have already had some trouble
on this score and anticipate more unless
the use of this fax bagging is discontinued.
The continuance of its baling stuff will
only entail additional trouble and expense

New York Democratic.

By a division, the Democrats have
lost the Governorship of New York,
but they have elected the balance of the
State ticket. The result shows that
New York is Democratic and may be
relied upon for the Democracy in the
Presidential election next year if an ac-
ceptable candidate is nominated. The
loss of Ohio and the result in New
York, point the way for the Democracy
as unerring as the finger of destiny.
The wayfarer though fool cannot err
therein. AS New York goes so goes
the Union.

Gen. w. s. Featherston.

There is universal rejoicing that this
gallant, and ever faithful hero and
statesman has been returned to the
Legislature from Marshall county. In
the Legislature of 1876, he led the i'm
peachers of the adventures who had
ruled and robbed the State and he
now returns to the scene of his former
labors crowned with the wreath Of a
victory second in Importance to none
other in the State.

The Texas Pacific Railroad.

Vice President Brown, of the above
company, has caused it to be announced
through the press, that it will be with
drawn from the halls of Congress and the
lobby will make no further efforts to pro-
cure government aid for its construction.
1t is said that the company sis now en-
gagged in building the line, and expects
to be able to complete it without pecu-
mary aid from the Government"
The wonder is now expressed why all
this clamor for aid, if the company was
able to build the road with its own re-
sources? We presume its eastern ter
minus will be fixed at some point CON
venient to St. Louis, and that the bust
ness of the Road will be switched
off in the direction of the Pennsylva-
MIA Central. If the Southern States
want connection with the line, they
will have to accomplish it from some
convenient point on the Mississippi
river by private enterprise.

WALTER S. LYNCH, Southern Elk
press messenger, who last year reported
that he had lost $4,000 from his car
while going from Yemassee, S. G., to
Augusta, Ga, was tried upon civil
suit in the latter city, and the jury last
week returned verdict against him for
the full amount of the money, to be re-
turned by him in twenty days, during
which he is to remain in Jail. Lynch
has been imprisoned on the civil suit
since the loss of the money.

The Elections on the 4th.

On last Tuesday elections took place
in nine States-viz: New York, Penn
sylvania, Massachusetts, Minnesota,
Wisconsin, New Jersey, Virginia, Mary
land and Mississippi.
Virginia and New Jersey elect only
members of the Legislature all the
rest elect their entire State ticket, ex-
cept Pennsylvania, who had only to
chose a State Treasurer. The contest
in Virginia will have no political sig
nifcance whatever, as both parties are
divided and badly split up on the ques-
ton of the State debt settlement.
The particulars of the election will be
found in another column.

county, who died on the 29th Of Sep
