The comet. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1877-1882, 1879-02-22

From The Port Gibson RcyciNe.
The Vicksburg Commercial seems to be
delighted with the idea of disruption of
the Democratic party; it rubs its hands
with great glee at the prospect of sectional
lines separating solid Democracy, and the
Vcksburg Herald isn't far behind it,
Gentlemen, if you knew the history of
! the Democratic party of the North, and
| what it has done for us, you would place
''your hands on your mouths, and your
mouths in the dust, and cry unclean. with
the voice of lamentation and woe" If you
are not '"tending like" but propose to try
to bulldoze the Northern Democracy, to in
timidate them, you are in the wrong role,
and had better consider your own weak
ness. They took the shackles from our
arms, the bayonets from our hearts, and
the soldiers from our doors, and it is
through the Northern Democracy and the
Grace of God. that we are what we are
again-States - sovereign States IN the
Federal Union.
Go back fifty years and come up with
history to the present, and tell us if the
South ever had such Democrats, SO sound
and solid, as those. of Rhode Island. Con-
necticut, Massachusetts,, Maine and New
Hampshire, and these are eclipsed-by tho
Vermont Democracy.
No State has had greater trials than Ver-
mont, and no people have battled with so
little hope, as her Democrats, for the man
don't live who ever heard of Democratic
victory IN that State, and yet, at every
election the old party rallies and votes be>
cause it is religious duty.
During the Revolutionary war the little
State was gobbled up like Poland by Massa-
chusetts, New Hampshire and New York,
but in 1890 she came into the Union
clothed with sovereignty, and from that
day to this her Democracy has been as firm
and fresh as her green mountains. When
you give up the Northern Democracy furl
your banners.
Let the riparian owners get all they can
in the general scramble, but don't try to
ruin the only party that lines itself on the
Constitution, and plumes itself upon its
faithful adherence to strict construction. |
When press men, or any other men,
talk of transferring Southern Democrats to
Northern Radicals, it is time to call halt.

BLEEDING KANSAS.

1t is bleeding Kansas as it was " Bleeding Kan.
sas" over quarter of a century ago. See in press
| dispatches how registrar of election in Kansa,
| City shot negro through the head last Tuesday
and killed him instantly. We infer from the brie
account OF the affair that the negroes there gave tn,
Kansaans free exhibition of the way they have
been doing things in the South 30 many years in
obedience to their instincts and the laws OF the
"inepressible conflict "-they fuzzed their tails
charged them and flung their stink around
Where, oh where, can the negro get his rights il
not in Kansas? If Windom's plan don't work
what will2 Are the poor negroes rushing away
from the South to Kansas to have their political
rights, denied them here, to find that registrars
there will shoot an impudcnt negro through the
head quicker'n lightning? Are no troops to be
sent to Kansas to protect the black birds Of passage
swarming into Bleeding Kansas? Are there to be
NO packed grand and petit juries with clouds of
sable witnesses lounging on the rear benches till
vermin iDfest the seats and saw dust? Niggers, be-
of Kansas where registrars shoot negroes
through the head MERIDIAN Mercury.
The warning of Qlr. excellent and wide
awake and we'll posted cotemporary to the
migrating darkies, and his eloquent re-
marks about Bleeding Kansas would be
all right and charmingly propOs, perhaps,
If it did not so happen that Kansas City is
a town of the good old Democratic State of
Missouri, instead of Radicalized and
Bleeding Kansas" Our cotemporary's
sermon may be good enough, but his text
is wrong. He ought to read his Bible
more than he does, and if he would say his
prayers once in a while it might have a
good effect in removing the geographical
mists that rise up before them.

The good people of jacksonville went to
bed in good time Sunday night only to be
rudely awakened about fifteen minutes be>
fore midnight by a general shaking of the
windows, blinds and doors, rlttling of
crockery, swaying of the houses, and rock
ing of the furniture. Beds shook and
trembled so that their inmates were almost
thrown out to the floor. There were two
shocks, following each other in rapid sue
cession, and the duration of both was about
twenty>eight seconds. In the towns along
the st. Johns river and on all the railroads
the shock was very severe. At Fruit Cove
glass filled with water was overturned,
and in Tallahassee and other places west
the effect was equally severe Some who
were standing on the ground say that there
was no perceptible trembling of the earth.
Others say that there was heavy undulat-
ing motion.
The occasion was replete with the most
laughable incidents. Its occurring as it
did at the hour when nearly every one was
in bed and asleep added to the humorous as
well as startling effect. Most men fancied
from the shaking of the doors and windows
that some one was trying to break into the
house, aud several seized their pistols and
made ready to shoot Others did pop away
at their supposed foes. In one house
broke loose and waltzed around
the room, scattering SCOT and CONSERVATION
among the inmates. Many got into the
streets after the shake was over, and held
on the corners to compare notes
and decide on what was best to do. Ladies
invariably got up, and screamed for
and mothers clutched their little
ones and prepared to save their lives or die
themselves
But probably the scenes in the large ho-
els outstripped all others in point of conf
ality. The guests jumped out of bed and |
ushed wildly into the dinly lighted or dark
lalls without stopping to prepare their
oilets, and as they fitted here and there,
unning about with no particular purpose,
Except to get away from the something,that
eemed to be after them, but which, in re-
-lity, was getting away from them very
asst, the scene had the look of ghostly
lance to which all the grave. yards of the
own had sent large delegations.

Howard Owen, of the Kennebec (Mc.
Journal, has lecture on "The Man who
Makes a Newspaper, and in it he comes
across some first-rate ideas. Most people
imagine that a newspaper is a huge fail
with which certain individuals are to be
lashed. The person on whom the fail is to
be used, is very multitudinous. He may
be a poor actor, a tiresome lecturer, dull
speaker, an unmusical singer, troublesome
neighbor, in fact any one who happens to
offend the man who comes up TO get the
paper to ego for him" Sometimes per
son wishes to use the paper against rail-
road company, the management of a steam
boat line, the city council, or the United
States Government A Detroit man once
left The Free Press office in high dudgeon
some time since because he was not allowed
to rake the Almighty, fore and aft, and in
the columns of this paper. MIR. Owen gives
the following letter from man who wanted
the paper d licately TO insinuate that his
neghbOr is not the most dosirlble person in
tho world to live next to, and who writes
the following unobtrusive note: Here
Mr. Editor, please insert this item and oblige
a subscriber: The rlntankerous old cur
mudgeon, whose pestilential influence poi
sons the air Of BROAD street, has of late been
engaged in questionable transactions for the
purpose of adding TO his ill-gotten gains.

The Home for the aged, regulated by
the Little Sisters of the Poor, in Seventh
street, east of Third avenue, had an air of
gloom yesterday, for the bodies of two of
the oldest inmates lay IN the house for the
dead
Mrs. lIcCloskey, Who, it is averred. had
arrived at the extraordiary age of 10
years, died yesterday afternoon. Her gen-
eral health was perfect. She died of ex-
| treme old age. When the first hospital of
the Little Sisters of the Poor was opened
IN Thirty-tourth street in 1870, Mrs. Nc
Closkey was one of the fifteen applicants
who were admitted. She went with the
Sisters from one institution to another,
and beyond a steadily intensified deafness
her health was good, and her mental facul-
ties We're almost unimpaired until the last.
fortnight ago she walked about and did
not seem TO be failing; but about ten days
ago she was missed from the Home. She
was found in the large garden attached TO
the hospital, wandering in a bewildered
way, unable to find the path. 1t was very
cold and she was probably chilled, but she
manifested no signs of physical discom>
fort When she saw the attendant ap-
proaching, she threw up her arms and ex-
claimed, "Where am 4 where am I? |
couldn't find my way back. She was
taken into the hospital and put to bed, and
there she sank quietly and died without
pain. She had a nephew who visited her
when she first became an inmate Of tho
hospital IN fhirty-fourth street but he is
dead
Near her body lay tie remains OF Mrs
Brock, who died only a few hours earlier in
her 1924 year. Her scanty snow white hair
and wrnki2I face bctoken great age Both
she and Mrs McCloskey in their last days
eyincad a tendency to make their age even
greater than it was; but in Mrs. Brooks
case her two daughters themselves aged
womel4- who frequently visited the hospital,
assured the Sisters that their mother had
passed her first century by two years She
was much more intelligent in her last mo-
ments .A,tu Mrs. McCloskey and retained
her faculties to the end of her life No
dimness OF eye or dullness of ear was notice
able in her, and when she died, at > o'clock
yesterday morning, she was fully conscious.
A few hours before her death she complain
ed of feeling pain but it soon passed away,
and she died peacefully.
The Little Sisters OF the Poor have in
their heme only one very aged woman now,
a Mrs. Gallagher, 1Oj years Of age, who is
unable to take her meals with the other pa
tients, but for some time has been confined
to her bed. She is less vigorous mentally
md physically, than either OF the aged
women who died yesterday, but her appetite
is good.
On the 3d inst e. IA Miss Rosanna Hammond
lied in the Home Tor the Aged mt 10Y years

lied ut the age of lO2 Years.

Terrible and Deadly ARRAY
PTcksburg Herald.


In the annals of deadly atfrays in this
State we know of no occurrence so fatal in
its results as that which occurred Oh
board the steamer SunfOwer, while lying
at Johnsonville, the county seat OF Sun
flower county. The particulars, as near as
we can gathcr them, are about as follows /.
About ten days ago Col. D. \. Holman,
while in Johnsonvllle, on entering DIR. W,
L. Lowry's store, was accosted by Dr.
Lowry, who ordered Holman out, remark
Ing, it is said, that Holman was no gentle
man, and did not keep his word, or some
thing to that effect. Holman departed, say
ing in substance he would see Lowry again,
On the morning of the affair Col. Holman
engaged passage on the steamer Sunhower,
for Nicksburg, accompanied by his father
in-law. Dr. G. c. Walker. The boat ar
rived at Johnsorville somewhat earlier than
usual, and Col. Holman and DR.. Walker
together went on shore, but in a short time
returned. Perhaps a half hour later DR.
Lowry as was usual with him, came on
the boat to transact his business. and willis
entering the cabin, was caught SO 1t is said.
by the left arm or back, by Col. Holman,
who turned Lowry half way around, and
