The

Editor Br00khdrcn Ledger:
Having Noticed the recent dis
cussions appearing IN the dlfrren;
Journals throughout the State, as to
who will probably be the next Speaker
of the House of Representatives. re-
minds me- of two prominent gentlemen
in our owl immediate section. When
| suggest the names of DR.. r. r. APP
plewhite and the Hon. B f. Johns, /
feel that either mentioned wonld do
credit to the position, and give entire
satisfaction. The first named WAS .
member of the Legislature during the
dark days of our political history from
1871, to 1875. and ably discharged his
duties, as thewriter knows. Since then.
he has twice been re -clectea; an honor
vel! deserved az rare. He is a good
parliamentarisn just. aud discreet il
every particular.
The latter. Hon. B F. Johns, was
Chairman of the Judiciary Committee
of the House in 1876 and 1877. and the
journals show that he acquitted him
self ably and satisfactorily in that diff
cult aud honorable position. Without
anv d~isparagement to other aspirants
where could we find gentlemen better
qualified? Then why not put in our
claims for South Mississippi? 1t would
only be Justice to our section, and a
we'll deserved compliment to the above
named to bring them prominently be-
fore that body while c,nvassing for a
presiding officer OF the next House.
Shall it be A%pplewhite Or Johns? Let
us hear from you. ALPHA.

The Ways ola Circus Confidence
Man.

A sharper who follows Robinson's big
show mounted a goods box on yesterday
evening, on Fr3nt street, and proclaim
ed to the world and the balance of
mankind that he had a lot j~ewelry &c..
on hand which he proposed to sell for
wonderful low prices.
Both white and colored men aocked
around him and invested their quaters.
Now and then an individual would
hand him a dollar, when he in place of
giving back the seventy-fve cents in
change wonld p!ayfully put the dollar
in what he called the Contribution
box" remarking TO the luckless indi
vidua! who passed it in, TO stand still
perfectly still.
Well, the poor fellows stood perfect-
ly still, not getting any change back
until many dollars went into the con-
trihutioa box in the name described
Suddenly he exclaimed: gentleman
meet me at half after s O'Clock and we
wilLhave a grand distribution" and
without further warning or ceremony
he decamped and after him pell NELL
went those taken in and don, for
calling on the contribution man to
''give me back my money" but he
didn't refund. He shook-off the on
tributors and moved on, Of course
never seeing nor aiming to zee his
goods box. from which he sold his few
eky. at half after 8 o'clock nor at any
other time.
Such are the simple ways Of the cir
ems confidence men, but plan and sims
Pile as they are they are past finding oui

Dur w ouzs Va ssed Soldiers.

Twenty-nlne citizens of Pontotoc
county have addressed petition to
their Representative elect asking him
''to introduce q bill in the Legislature
for the purpose of paying to Missis-
sippi Confederate soldiers, who were
badly wounded land Totally unable to
work the sun of eight dollars. per
month per capita, commencing on the
LIST day of January, A. D. 1880, and to
continue as long as tho said soldiers
live. 1t is a well known fact that
many of the Confederate wounded are
very poor and will necessarially suffer
for q living in their old age, unless
some assistance is rendered them by
legislation" We are disposed to think
the petition should be favorably con-
sidered by the Legislature. The State
is abundantly able to support all
wounded Confederate soldiers who are
unahle to support themselves.

In XIII rbeC Gar.

An attempt al made to blow up the
trian on which the Gear Of Russia was
travelling, on the 1st inst. The IN
known con~spirators selected o point
upon the railroad, near a curve yer
which the train would necessarily pass
slowly, and on the track at this point
they placed a quantity of dynamite 80
arranged that the friction of the wheels
would cause an explosion and blov the
entire train to fragments. By some ac-
cident, however, the train containing
the Gar and his suite passed safely
over this spot and the dynamite only
took effect when the first carriage OF the
baggage train, which was following the
former. reached the spot. Then the ex'
plosion took place and tie first luggage
carriage was thrown off the track and
utterly demolished.

The Old Ticket.

From a letter received from Chicago,
we make the following extract, which
will show (Which way the mind blows
al have just spent an hour with a
friend who has returned from Washing
ton, New York and Indianapolis. My
friend was entertained hyssGovernor Til
den, and said the Governor wassnot in
the least cast down by the result in
New York, but was in fine health and
spirits and was far from giving up the
fight as ever. He said the universal
opinion in New York and Washington
was, that our next ticket would be the
old one of 1S76-Tilden and Hendricks
Nv friend took tea with Governor
Hendricks and wife. He said that
Governor Hendricks remarked that he
never had spoken disrespectfui of Gov
ernor Tilden; and, further, that he was
in accord with him on the courss he
pursued on the Electoral Commission;
and that he had rot said to any one
that he would not run as Vice Presi-
dent With Tilden as President. Stick
to the old ticket; we can nominate
and elect 1t. Any change Of front is
frought with disaster"

The StalwartS.

The stalwart Republican advice is
being obeyed by the Federal office,

with writing a letter to Gen. Wharton
saying: IT will recommend your son for
any position possible for him to get,
but I must remove him from my Office
for political reasons For the same
reasons Hill has turned cut his Demo>

he says:
