Our Legislature is about to regu-

about as much right to say what an
Attorney or Doctor shall charge for
his services, as it has to say what a

But, isn't it about time that the peo-
pie should say what these fellows
ought to receive for their labor2

The Cleveland Herald-Repubii
can says: ga story comes from
Washington that the "stalwart"
managers of the Republican Con-
gressional Committee made no effort
to carry Congressional districts in
the South, and refused to send speak
ers and documents to that section
because they wanted an unbroken
Democratic delegation elected from
the Southern States in order that
the campaign cry of a Solid South
might be effective for 1880. How
much truth there may be in this re-
port we do not know. We hope there
is none, but we should not be much
surprised at any piece of folly COM
mitted by the pr~epostereus commit
tee managed by Gorham.

Under the constitution the legisla-
ture has not the power TO change the
time of holding our State elections
from the SECOND Tuesday of October,
to the Tuesday after the first Mon
day in November, on years of Presi-
dental elections. The House joint
resolution offered lately by Mr..
Estell, of Holmes county, is for the
purpose of giving the legislature
that power. If II State elections
are held every fourth year OF the
same day of the Presidential cleo
tions, as is done in Indiana and
Iowa, it will be a very great saving
to the Taxpayers, both in the way of
time and money.

The Philadelphia Times observes:
The Louisiana investigation contin-
ues to cast up mire and dirt, but to
what good? 1t was known before
that the return of electors in Louis-
lana in 1876 was a false one, though
believed to have been signed by the
proper officers, and now it was shown
that to the false return was added
the forgery of electors, but it Meth
er adds to or detracts from the crime
that was then perpetrated. 1t is
well known that the Hayes return
was conceived in fraud, executed in
fraud and maintained in fraud, and
whether o name orytwo more or less
we're forgedto it isn't of consequence
beyond its service in bringing the
fraud home to the really guilty par
ties who directed their creatures tt
commit the crime and paid for it by
awarding the honors of the govern
ment to them.

II is not uncommon to read of
lone, lorn, love-sick swains following
actresses about the country, barred
from their presence, but content with
the few looks they a obtain by be-
ing near them; attending the theatre
that they may be under the sweet
influences of their smiles, tho called
to the face for others; buying flowers
to throw at them, tho knowing they
are he~artlessly cast aside, content to
know, that first her eye read his name
and compliments. 1t has been the
good fortune for your correspondent
to see one of these strange i%nfatuaf
ted beings the past week. He is
said to be a gentleman of wealth
from Buffalo, young, good looking
and certainly refined in all his man
ners, except such as affect his con-
duct toward Mary Anderson, the
beautiful young actress. Two years
ago he saw her on the stage and foI
him to see was to love. An intro
duction followed, his story told and
he discarded. The story goes that
but one hearing was ever granted
yet with a determination worthy {
better cause, he follows ever in hel
pathway, hoping doubtless that hi:
great devotion may win where bis
wealth and words failed. One, coult
not help a feeling of pity though al
most mingled with contempt to Sc,
his wild ways. Alone, melancholy
he would sit in the hotel when sud
denly he would jump up, cross toth'
opposite sidewalk and tread bacl
and forth like a sentry at his post
with eyes cast up to Miss Anderson
window, seeking, longing, for jus
one glance at the face divine. Thel
slowly climb the capitol steps .watcl
from there, while a hundred eye
watched him, laughed at him ant
called him fool, lnnatic and such. T,
avoid him Miss Anderson kept close
ly to her room even taking all he
meals there. We propose him til
following valentine:
"Quit, quit, for shame! this will nc
move,
This cannot take her:
If of herself she will not love,
Nothing can make her:
The devil take her." .a.H

Rumor has it that an effort is be

to send a special message to Con-

the success of resumption, and claim

of which belongs exclusively to the
Republican party. As we have be-
fore said, every well wisher of his
country and fellow man, will rejoice
over restored confidence and a re,
turn to prosperous times. But when

Reputation in Mississippi.
Philadelphia Press (Rep.)

The fitness of Mr.. Horr's advice
to the South, to make honor less a
matter of speech and more a matter
Of practice, is aptly illustrated by
the recent conduct of the leading
citizens of Grenada, Mississippi, in
uniting in a general Reputation of
their debts to the Postofice for the
back rent Of boxes. These bills,
amounting to but a few dollars in
each instance, aggregate about
$3.50, which amount the ex-Post-
mistress, Mrs. Price, has paid over
to the United States as part Of the
revenue of the Office. In answer to
applications for the payment of this
box rent, there was returned in each
case a refusal, accompanied by
sneers against the government, for
the support of which they expressed
themselves as unwilling to con-
tribute one cent. We have become
somewhat accustomed to wholesale
reputation in most of the South
ern States, especially in Mississippi,
where the practice may be said to
have originated and found its most
congenial home, but hitherto the
magnitude of the regulating meas
ures has at least lent to them some
appearance of dignity. This de-
scent to petty larceny in Grenada
can excite but a contemptuous pity
for the men who could perpetrate it
and the section which can tol>
crate it.
