A Murderer Returns Home 60 Die.
Meridian Mercnrv.l

Meridian Mercuryl
The case Of the killing of II. Vestal,
at Lockart, some two years ago, is too
recent and was too shocking to be for-
gotten. He was shot in the breast with
a full charge of buckshot, at close range,
in Kelly's store, at the twilight hour, and
fell and died almost instantly. Ben
Frank Brown fired the fatal shot Very
leisurely he betook himself to fight and
has remained away out of reach of the
officers of the law ever since the commits
sion Of the crime. But a singular thing
has now occurred. On Christmas eve
Ben Frank Brown, Of his own accord,
came to this city, made known the fact
of his return to the sheriff and some
friends and acquaintance, and took mp
his abode at one Of the hotels. lie is
reported to be sick, and in an advanced
stage of consumption, a heavier hand
than that of the law having been laid
upon him. He is under Indictment for
murder, aud Sheriff Henderson has him
in custody, and is having a watch kept
over him as he lies bedrldden, which,
from all accounts, was hardly necessary.
A few days ago the sheriff received
telegram from Euiaulu, Alabama, an-
nOuncing his presence there, and saying,
if wanted, he could be had. He now
tells Captain Henderson that he had the
dispatch sent. He says he has come
from the extreme southern portion of
Florida, where lie had hid himself away.
His condition is hopeless and piuable.
If his disease could be miracuously
cured, he is in the hands Of the law for
fearful crime, with a terrible penalty
impending.

4.-ON ANGER.

Beware of him that is slow to anger.
Anger, when it is long in coming, is the
stronger, when it comes and the longer
kept. Abused patience turns to fury.
When fancy is the ground of passion,
that understanding which composes the
fancy qualities the passion; but when
judgment is the ground, the memory is
the recorder and this passion is long re
Iained

7.-ON INCONSISTENCY.

Be not unstable in thy resolutions,
nor various in thy actions, nor inconstant
in thy affections. So deliberate that
thou mayest perform; 50 perform that
thou mayest preserve. Mutability is
the badge OF infirmity.

6.-oN LAW AND PHYsIo.

If thou study law and physic endeavor
to know both and to need neither Tenn
perate diet, moderate and reasonable
labor, rest and recreation with Gods
blessing, will save thee from thy physi-
clan; peaceful disposition, prudent
and just behavior, will secure thee from
the law. Yet if necessity absolutely
compel, thou mayest use both; they that
use either otherwise than for necessity
soon abuse themselves into weak bodies
and light purses.

8.-CHARITY ALLEGoRIzED.

Charity is a naked child giving honey
to bee without wings. Naked, because
excuseless and simple; a child, because
tender and growing; giving honey, be-
cause pleasant and com Portable; to bee,
because a bee is industrious and deserv-
ing; without wing, because wanting and
helpless. If thou deniest to such thou
killest bee; if thou givest to other than
such thou preservest drOne.

5.-oN SECRET ENEMIES.

He that profesaas himself thy open
enemy arms thee against the evil he
means thee; but he that Ensembles him
self thy friend, when he is thy secret en-
envy, strikes beyond caution and wounds
above cure. From the first thou mayest
deliver thyself, from the last good Lord
deliver thee.
The weekly clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1863-1882, 1879-01-15

Let the greatest part of the news thou
nearest be the least part of what thou be
lievest. lest the greatest part of what
thou believest be the least part of what
is true; and report nothing for truth, in
earnest or in jest, unless thou know it,
or at least confidently believe it to be
SO, neither is it expedient at all times or
in al companies to report what thou
knowest to be true; sometimes it may
avail thee if thou seem not to know that
which thou knowest Hast thou any Sc
cret, commit it not SO many, nor to any
unless well known unto the
ION CONDUCT TOWARDS A FRIEND.
Hast thou a friend, use him friendly;
abuse him net in jest or earnest; conceal
his infrmities; privately reprove his err
rors. Commit thy secrets to him, yet
with caution, lest thy friend become thy
enemy and abuse thee.
The weekly clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1863-1882, 1879-01-15

50 use property that adversely may
not abuse thee. If in prosperity thy Sc
curity admits no fear, in adversely thy
despair will afford no hope; he that in
prosperity can foreteil danger can in
adversely foresee deliverance.

9.-oN DIET AND REGIMEN.
If thou desirest to take the best adva

If thou desirest to take the best advan-
tage of myself, especially in matters
where the fancy is most employed, keep
temperate diet, use moderate exercise,
observe seasonable and set hours for rest,
and let the end of thy first sleep raise
thee from thy repose; then hath thy
body the best temper; thy soul the least
incumbrance; then no noise shall dis
turb thine ear; no object shall divert
thine eye; then if ever shall the spright
ly fancy transport thee beyond the com
mon pitch, and and show the majorim
of high invention

evening, George William Curtis, was
introduced and spoke over Two hours
on the life, character and writings Of
William, Cullen Bryant, IN his early
days he was active in political life,
but his Democracy never meant erah-
Die nor mob. He never wrote an
impure line nor advocated measure
which friends Of good gOyeTnment coEld

May We ever have such d President,
and one whose motto shalt be, that t'he

But the country has had enough, the
Savannah Heass declares, of the tamper-
ingsOf the Radical revolutionists with
the Constitution. That instrument
was framed by wise, patriotic and pure
men. Under it for a century the
american people peacefully elected the
Chief Magistrate of the Union. A
few years of Radical usurpation ,misrule
and corruption has net 50 depraved and
degenerated them that they are no
longer capable of self-government.
If left to themselves freed from the
Interference Of Federal bayonets and
United States MarshaIs-therew will be
no need for Electoral laws or fraudulent
eight to seven Commissions to decide
whe is their choice for President.
There is good reason to distrust Mr..
Edmunds' Bill Besides there Is no
need for the Democracy to take it at a
risk, as. if they are true to themselves
and the country, tney viii settle the
next Presidential election without the
Intervention Of Congress. ~ .

THE cARPET.pAGGER.

Under the policy that Lincoln fore
shadOwed and Andrew johnson, advo-
Gated, the carpet-bagger would never
even have been born, the Phila-
delphia Times declares, and we might
have such men as Hampton, Gordon
and Lamar making their reappesrance
on the political stage as Republicans
rather than as Democrats But tbs
gods made mad and the gods have de
stroyed. Wade Hampton is not the
Senator that the North would have
chosen for South Carolina, but that the
Republican members Of the Senate
voted for him, and that the Republi
cans in the House could find no better
candidate than the degraded Mackey to
oppose him, is an indication that the
Democrats selected their best man, and
that the Republicans could not find a
better q, one SO good. His election to
the Senate, in fact is like his election
as the Governor, a triumph for the lib
eral element of the Southern Democ'
racv. @tta

NATTER OF FACT.


As matter Of fact, the Philadelphia
Telegraph, Radical, candidly admits,
the ''OutrAges," " properly so called, have
been comparatively few in number, and
tie negroes have often been brought
a8aer political subjection by agencies
that it IS impossible to object to On
either moral or legal grounds. For in
stance, In some of the Southern States
a very large proportion of the negroes
are disfranchised by means of Registry
laws and the enforcement of a poll-tax
that is, laws precisely similar to those
in operation in Pennsylvania, and in
Others of the Northern States, and
piaieh are, thereaboots, accounted to be
excsedngly good laws. The negroes
have An aversion to paying the tax,
and as they prefer 10 lose their votes
rather than pay it, whatever gain the
Demserats have BY their disfranchise-
ment Is as legitimate snd proper as any
asaeh gain can be. Mr., RIaine's claim
that the negro votes are rightly owned
by the clique of politicians to which he
belongs that is exactly what his
claim amounts tbs an absurdity on
the face of it. s

A BLOoDLEss ARRAY.


From the Statesmaa Of the 24th inst,
we extract the following; "About
noon yesterday a quarrel occurred in
the rooms of the Investigating Commit
tee, at the State House, the principals
being William h Watkins, formerly
Superintendent of the penitentisry, aud
Hon. John NJ. Thompson, Speaker of
the House of the last Legislature. The
affair caused considerable excitement as
it became known. 1t appears, from all
that we can learn, that Watkinds had
been summoned before the committee
to tell what he knew about the man.
agement of the penitentiary, and while
he was in the committee room Thomp-
son came in, holding in his left hand a
large envelope which he handed to Wat
kinds with the remark, al want you to
read thisl It's my opinion of you@
At this instant several gentlemen who
stood near, discovered that he had a
pistol in his right hand, and before he
could have used it-had he SO desired
it was taken from him by d. P.
Thompson, and further demonstrations
prevented by the prompt interference
&c the gentlemen in the room. The
PISTOL, which was small nickel plated
revolver, was lOsded, cooked, and ready
for immediate use. Mr.. Thompson was
shortly after arrested by Marshal Mimic
and taken before Recorder Bowie, being
defended by Messrs. Lord and Shaw,
while Mr.. Watkinds was represented
BY BOnham L Ramsey. After hearing
the evidence the court concluded there
was nothing to show that he intsnded
to do injury to Mr. Watkinds, and or
dered the ge of the defendent. "
We understand that this report of
the affair is not altogether correct. The
committee had adjourned, and Mr..
Thomson stepped up to Watkinds
hslding out the envelope, saying at the
same time, This is my message for
you" Mr.. Watkinds did not take the
envelope, but held his hands from him
open, and implOred the protection of
the committee, saying that he was un-
armed. The immediate cause OF the
circumstance was, that Watkinds had
written letter to the committee, filed
with insulting personal illusions to Mr..
Thompson.
