Lamar and Conkling---a Contrast.
The Washington correspondent
of the PassrChIistian Gazette thus
graphically and eloquently presents
the contrast betweea Mississippi's
chivalrous SENATOR knight with
out fear and without reproach-and
the clustering braggart who miss
represents the Empire State:
Mr.. Conbling- is a. man whose
size and shape show he onght to be
and whose audacious Insolence
show that he would like to be as
brave as Julius Caesar, but four
times in his Washington career

threat OF Frank Blair, the derislye
tongue and emphatic finger of
Blaine, the stern rebuke of Gordon,
aud the cold contempt of Lamar,
proved him a veritable Bob Acres.
MI. Conkifng- N an exception
among the representative men of
America. IT the day should ever
core when fashionable clothes,
arranged whiskers and
hair, and French soap will make
gentleman of him who cringes to
vulgarity in high places, and inc
suits delicacy and refinement in
who will buster like a
bully and cover hke a child, then
Mr.. COukling will deserve that epi-
tibet.
Col. Lamar's quick and determ-
med check on the impudent asser-
ton of the dictatorial New Yorker
is the best proof that his condect
was' rnwarrantable. for Lamar is
one ofsthe quietest OF men. aud even

there has been SO much misrepresentation;
especially in the Northern section of the
Union. Those who are willing to hear

To the Editor of the Citizen

The convention to nominate cam
didates for the Legislature and fol
the county offices, meets on Mon.
day next, the 9TH day of July, al
this place. We trust that it will
be.a harmonious body and reflect
the honest wishes of the people
that it will be free from all improper
influences, so that when the nomi-
nations shall have been made, every
voter will feel proud of the result,
and can zealously enter the field
with IL firm and fixed determination
to do his level best for the success
of the ticket. 1t is not only our
right, but it is our duty to put for
ward our best and most efficient
men for the different legislative and
other positions. The next legisla-
ture will be the most important,

/ have in my Mods eve a young
man who is a candidate for the po-
sition of Chancery Clerk I mean
Mr.. Horace Handy-wbo, in my
opinion, is il.- every respect fully
qualified for the Office, and with
due Difference to the other candi>
dates for the same position, hope
to see him nominated on Monday
next.
Mr.. Handy, at the commerce
ment of our-late civil war, was II
student at the State University at
Oxford. He at once joined a COM
panys which constituted part of
the 18th Mississippi Regiment, and
was present at the first battle of
Manassas. At the expiration of
his term of service, be joined the
battery commanded by the beloved
md noble hearted George Ward, of
his county, and remained in the
service until the final colhpse~-a at
Courthouse. He was
twice during the war, and |
low carries upon his person a bull |
ct received while defending what
10 believed to be, in his heart Of |
learts, a just cause.
Mr.. Handy was admitted to the |
,ar in 1868, and pfasticed law in
Scott and the adjoining eounties
asst of Pearl river, for some~ tIthe,
which will enable him to under-
tand and faithfully discharge the
