many of their best thoughts 70 its
wise solution. The ablest legal
minds in the State have been UNI
able to find a chance to avoid
settlement upon an equitable ba-
sis. And no matter what the f.
nal result may be, there is no JUS
LITIGATION in silly trlfling with a
matter Of such grave Importance.
Either the Governor ought not to
have made the above charges we
have quoted or having made
them he ought to have had some
thing more substantial when call
ed on for the evidence, than a
few old dispositions wonderfully
lacking in facts and full Of hearsay
and suppositiOn,) and the crazy
p ttitudes 0. a drunl Ell protest.
The Message does not give the
people light on the subject but
serves to stab public and private
integrity in a vital part by foster
ing the spread Of reputation SEN
timents; thus imperilling not on
Iy the public debt but injuring
the business community by open
ing a way to repudiate all indi-
vidual Indebtedness. The Mes
sage has thus far done great harm
to the commercial credit of our
people.

Northern and Southern Democrats.

vicksburg Herald Dem 81
Southern Congressman are doing all
in their power, within party lines, to
secure an appropriation for the NIissis-
sippi river levees. They are almost on
the verge of determining to block the
appropriations unless tdey can secure
justice in this matter.
There are but three courses left
them. They must give up all hope
of securing an appropriation, or re-
fuse to vote anything the Northern
Democrats want, or ask the cO-Opera-
ton Of the justly inclined Republi-
cans. 1t is our opinion the last nam
ed plan is the best. The levee ques-
ton is not in any sense party ques-
ton, and if the Republicans are will
ling to do what is just in the matter
We think our Congressman should not
hesitate to ask their aid, and to re-
turn the favor whenever it can be
done without detriment to the public
service. Ifthe Republicans are given
the opportunity to do a good turn, and
do it, they will like US better for hav-
ing done it, for it is human nature to
like those we have aided. Another
good effect would also follow. We
could not feel as if we belonged body
and soul to the Northern Democrats.
We would be to a certain extent free
to return advice for advice and gush
for gush Mr.. Blaine says he will vote
for liberal aid to all needed Southern
improvements. Messrs. Thurman,
Bayard, Mcdonald and other Demo
Gratis, judging from their past votes,
won't do anything of the sort. Yet
when the next Presidential election
rolls around the solid South will be
expected to walk up like little man,
and put in one of these men, at the
risk Of losing all she has gained. Why,
the better class of Republicans don't
want anything better than this to car
ry three or four Southern States for
their man. Let the guarantee to the
South local self-government, justice in
appropriations, real equality in the
Union, and they will find the Northern
Democrats do not exactly own the
whole of the South. The very best
people in this State are rapidly coming
to the conclusion that the best way to
secure the peace and good will of the
best portion of the Northern people is
t. cease fighting the Northern Repub-
lican party, if it will cease fighting
US, and treat us justly. In other words
they do not acknowledge eter-
nal allegiance to the Northern Demo
cratic party.

The issue is not as to hard money or
soft money but is simply reduced
down to this one question shall we
have any money. There is but one
question Greenbacks or bare backs
and the people are to choose. The
question with the people is not hard
money or soft money but the main
tainance ofthe great fundamental idea
of national currency whether of gold,
silver or paper issued by the govern
ment, protected by the government
and to be perpetual in its character,
putting the life current Of the nation
in the hands of the government where
it properly belongs and not in the
hands of bank corporations, charter
ing them to iss ue their own evidences
of indebtedness, and fattening on the
same.

The Value flour Cotton Crep.

Washington, Feb. THE agricul-
tural report, just issued, in giving the
value Of the cotton crop says: 1.-The
production Of this great staple seems
to be too large, and the result is shown
in the glutted markets and low prices,
the larger crop of 1878 being worth
less than that of the preceding year.
Basing the calculation on the prices
returned by the producer, we find the
value of the crop of 1878 to be S191
100000, and for 1877, $24O, 100000,
while the number of bales was S4,75O,-
900 in 1877 and 100000 for 1873.

Hair VGgOr,
For restoring Gray Hair TO
its natural Vitality and Color.

10Th the gloss and freshness Of youth.
Thin hair is thickened, falling hair
checked, and badness often, though
not always, cured by its use. Moth
ing can restore the hair where the
follicles are destroyed, or the glands
atrophied and decayed. But such as
remain can be saved for usefulness
by this application. Instead of foul
ing the hair with pasty sediment, it
will keep it clean and vigorous. Its
occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling off, and
consequently prevent badness. Free
from those deleterious substances
which make some preparations dan
gerous, and injurious to the hair, the
Vigor can only benefit but not harm
it. If wanted merely for a

Congressman Casey Young, of
Tennessee, who was one of the
heroes of the yellow fever cpl
demic last summer, is working
hard to secure the passage Of the
Matthews bill, providing for a
National quarantine law and es-
tablishing Department Of Pub

will pass. and will have but few
votes against it, cast by some
Congressman ''who heard that

THE STARTLING STATEMENTS IN
GOV. MARKS MESSAGE.

Perhaps in the exaggerated rO-
nance of our day, there is not a
novel which has a more thrilling
description of terrible things. On
page 8 the Gov. says: The amount
issued was S1O,6S3, 900, there were
honest men in the Legislative
bodies which authorized this fraud
but their efforts to protect the
State were unavailing. But their
manly protests exhibit the shame
full methods employed in the per
petratiOn of this vast fraud"
LIST. The facts subsequently of
ficiaIly developed in connection
with the journals of the two
Houses show that appropriations acre
refused anle8s the members acre paid to
make them.
2nd. 1t appears that bonds were
sold at a large discount to raise
money to pay members to vote
further appropriations
3rd. 1t appears that with the
proceeds Of bonds so sold a minis
ter of the Gospel was employed to
manipulate members Of the Legs
lature.
4th. And that when he reached
the Capitol a bill authorizing the
issuance of bonds had been re-
iected by decided majority. In
the morning he opened the pro
ceedings with prayer; before night
the vote was reconsidered and the
next day the bill passed with but
two dissenting votes, This bill
appropriated S3,OOO,OO0 to the in
solvent roads.
5th. 1t appears that relatives OF
high officials acre paid money the
proceeds of bonds to induce favorable
action in the further issuance OF
bonds.
9th. 1t az pears that bonds were
sold at Il large discount to pay
interest in order to conceal delin-
quences.
7th. That the proceeds were
used to pay high salaries to rail
road officials.
8th. To pay eXhorbitant law
yers' fees.
9Th. To pay old debts.

an infinite variety Of other 'n'la'Cfut Pur

This is a horrible picture. Our
ostonisbment on reading this
LARGE list of crimes was greatly
Increased by the fact that neither
Governor Brownin his two terms
nor Governor Porter in his two
terms discovered this awful nest
q iniquity, and while we could
NOT well see how these sound
Democratic Governors and the
four Democratic Legislatures
and all the papers and politicians
IN the State had failed to dlscoV-

that Governor Marks had discoV-

The black plague, which the tele-
graph tells us prevails in the province
of Ceara. Brazil, is nothing but an ag-
gravated form of smallpox. The dis
ease there is probably the worst attack
Of this smallpox which has visited the
country sincs the epidemic that entire
ly destroyed the aboriginal population
of Hayti and Cuba. Latest dispatches
report that 1900 persons are diving
daily in Ceara. This is a population
Of $4,000, is a mortality equaling the
the worst days of the yellow fever ep-
idemic of 1852. Famine haze come 10
increase the horrors of the situation.
People are dying of hunger by hun
dreds. Cases are even cited where
cannibalism is practiced, and one case
where a mother was discovered eating
her own child, whom she had broiled
for the occasion.

INDIVIDUAL LIABILITY.

The conplainants charge that when
all the above assets are exhausted, that
for whatever may be left due, the in
cOrpOratOrs and members of said cor
pOratiOn are individually liable, and in
this case all the inhabitants Of the said
city Of Memphis will be bound in their
personal estate and property for the
residue of the entire debt unpaid by
assets, and that court of equity has
thepower to make an assessment upon
all said cOrpOratOrS and inhabitants of

pro rata amount sufficient to pay the
entire debt unpaid by assets, and will
bring them before the Court from time
to time, when required, and render
personal judgments against them for
that purpose. The complainants al
