From the okOlOna, Miss, states,l

From the Okolona, Miss, States,l .s
The Okolona States, which voices pub
lie sentiment south, has formulated that
sentiment into the following platform.
/. Wrench the Amendments from the
Constitution and cast them into the lake
that is said to burn with fire and brinl-
stone.
II. Make the States the King of this
Republic, and let the Republic understand
that it is nothing but a serf and as1ave.
III. Vindieate the right of Secession.
w. Make Treason odious by making
odious, traitors like Grant and Seward.
V. Glorify the grand, immortal patriots
like Jefferson Davis, Stuart, Barksdale
and Lee.
WI. Make Free Schools, and all New
England principles, so called. simply
Infamous.
VII. The principle of a Confederacy,
the abstract right of Secession, our Labor
System-all these will in the future stand
forth among those things which human
liberty has defied.
VIII. Honor to Jefferson Davis-HOn-
or to the Southern. COnfedeFacy-HOno
to the Bonny Blue.
TX. The South and Southern principles
must triumph, or civilization must come
TO a stand-still.
Through red hearts, blood, and glare Of
| fire of burning cities; through death tina
grinned at us with set teeth; through
| horrors and gloom of which we may no
! speak, we have marched to see these prin
| ciples triumph, and by the living God W.
| will never surrender them until we wit
ness their supreme ivindication.

Robert roomSs Personally.

The Atlanta correspondence of the
Philadelphia Times, from which we have
already quoted literally, speaks thus of
General Robert Toombs personally : 'sBIr.
Toombs says he never said that he would
live to call the roll of his slaves at the
foot of Bunker Hill Monument, but says
s'that was a fancy lie started by Jack
Hale, of New Hampshire Once when
Mr.. TOOmbs declined to take a place in
the Confederate States Senate, which
was said to be open for him, a friend
said; There are few men who have the
ehaneetO get such a place. Yes, he re-
piled, sand id sight fewer who can
refuse Them General Toombs was
fine soldier and a brilliant fighter. Gen
eral Long said to me; 4 have
| seen him in battle often, and never saw
braver man lead brigade He is
quite wealthy-his estate being valued at
probably $500, 600. Be bought 100, GOO
acres of Texas land in the infancy of that
State, at twelve or fifteen cents an acre.
| 1t is now worth from 81 to SO per acre,
but he has sold 10000 or 10000 acres
His Income from his practice has reaehed
$40, 600 per annum. He is a prlncely
liver. but most careful inancier. Be
meath all his apparent recklessness there
lis a current Of shTeWd business sense that
leads him to drive sharp trade and knit
a bargain. Indeed, the reckless manner
of Mr.. Toombs is not an index of his char
acter In action he Is really conservative
and prudent, and is usually a safe advis-
er. There are few men who ever SO fully
enjoyed the confidence of his people as
Mr.. Toombs. Atthe close of the war he

to do so. His only public service since
the war, beyond work on the hustings

of his bitterness against the General Gov

AS there have been some objections
made to the pOstpOning of the opening of
the State campaign to the latter part of
August it may be well to state the rea-
sons for this action. The matter was
talked over by Messrs. Foster, Ewing,
Garfield and others at Sandusky on the
Fourth, but the cause of this postpone
ment is an agreement between the leaders
of both parties in Ohio and Maine to aid
each other. The Maine election comes
off the first week in September and Ohio
speakers are to be in that State up to
that time, and then the Maine speakers
will come to Ohio to make things boom.
Garfield, Updegraf and ButterWorth are
to go to Maine and stump that State In
return, Blaine, Frye and Reed viii come
to Ohioain September and speak through
outsthe State till the election. Major
Mckinney and other Democrats have en-
gagements in Maine and several Demo-
cratic and Greenback speakers of that
State are to stump Ohio in September
The campaigns in both these States are
to be very warmly contested and the best
speakers will be on the stump in Ohio
this year. In the calls for speakers from
different parts of the State it is noticed
that General John A. Logan is. in greatest
demand, Garfield second and Blaine next,
with strong sentiment to hear each OF
| them as well as many others. Hon. Ben.
| Butterworth is also quite favorite.
The Democrats are having considerable
trouble in-their exchange of speakers; as
the Eastern leaders are not very strongly
| disposed to roll up their sleeves and come
west of the mountains to work and speak
for Ewing.-O. s. Journal.

The run of cattle from Kentucky is be-

There were few loads of Indiana grass

There were shipped from New York
during last week for Europe S24 head of
live cattle and 3, 40 quarters of dressed
beef; s95 live sheep and ,070 carcasses of
mutton.
Everything indicates considerable in
crease in the coming fall and winter trade
at East Liberty, and our business men re-
gard the outlook as mite teene6aEaglng.
Several parties were ,telegEaphed on
| Monday to have their cattle here on We'd
nesday, but failing to do so they lost an
opportunity not to be found every week.
A good many Virginia cattle are now
running into Philadelphia, and for some
weeks will largely interfere with the sale
of cattle from Pittsburg and the West on

The Next Appor.lonment,


Estimating the population of the coun-
try in.19S0 at 46, ,500, 600, and assuming
300 as the number of Representatives in
Congress under the next appOrtiOnment,
the Washington Republican calculates
that the Southern States will lose seven,
while the Northern States will gain four
teen Representatives. It estimates that
the Northeastern States will lose seven
while the other Northern States will gain
twenty-one, making net gain of four
teen; also that Texas and Missouri will
each gain three, while the other South
ern States will lose thirteen, makinga a net
loss of seven. Assumingthat the p0pu-
lation@ Will be, $4,000, 900, as Mr.. Elliott
estimates, and that the number of Rep
resentative will be 300, the Republican
assigns 213 Representatives to the North
ern States, and 81 to the Southern States.
According to this estimate, the strength
of the Northern States in the Electoral
College will be 267, while that of the
Southern States will be only 119. Ac-
cording to the first estimate, Iowa and
Kansas will gain four representatives
each, Illinois, Michigan, and Minnesota
three each, Nebraska two, and Wisconsin
one. Of course the reapportionment will
not be made until after the next Presi-
Dental election. If it were made before
then, the politicians would have to revise
their calculations. The greater relative
importance of the N ortEWest would per-
haps insure the adoption Of the "Ohio
idea" by the Democracy as the basis OF
the contest on their part. AS it is, that
remarkable idea will probably have Ltc
take back seat; it certainly will if Mr.
! Tom. Ewing fails to carry Ohio in the
| fall Chicago Times.

DUNCAN as the Poor Mans Friend.

About the year 1860 Levi DUNCAN
was engaged in banking, in the room
now occupied by the First Notional
Bank Of Jackson. Our law office was
IN the rear of the banking room. We
had business with good many poor
men-laboring men, who had claims
against furnace owners. Times were
hard-ten times harder, under the
-Bemocratic- administration of James
Buchanan, and money was scarce~
than at any time since 1873.
We were informed by reliable men
at that time, that they sold notes on
good men, and reliable firms, at Dun
gan's bank, at discount of from 20
to so per cent. One man we remem-
ber, had a note for $40, and DUNCAN
would only give him 800 for it.
Now we regard Mr.. DUNCAN as a
banker, the same as we regard Charles
Foster as a merchant. Each did the
best he could with his capital. IF
these poor laboring men could do no
better, they could not blame Mr.. Dun
gan. They were not compelled to get
Mr. DUNCAN to discount paper for
them, if any one else would give them
a better bargain. But Mr.. DUNCAN
should not talk too much of his great
love for the poor man.
lie Mr.. DUNCAN denies any state
ment made in the above, let him pro-
duce his bank books. We dare him
to deny it.
