We make haste to credit The Madison
Democrat with having done the decent
and manly thing with reference to the
murder OF Dixon by Barksdale at Yazoo,
Mississippi, some months since. Says The
Democrat; 'The grand jury at Yazoo,
Mississippi, failed to find an indictment
against Jas. A. Barksdale, charged with
the murder of Henry Dixon, last sum-
mer. Our judgment is that the man
Barksdale deserves hanging. We may
be mistaken, though we do not believe
we are It is claimed that Barksdale was
afraid of his life; that Dixon was waiting
for an opportunity to kill him, and that
Barksdale succeeded in getting the
drop of his antagonist. We don't care
how this may have been. 1t is unques-
toned that Dixon was killed; shot down
ON public street, and common regard
for propriety alike demanded that fair
trial be had The action of the grand
jury in failing with the light we have, is
reprehensible, and deserves universal
condemnation" Where is the next
democratic paper which dares to speak of
this butchery as it deserves? Perhaps
the bull doing concern down the street
may do it. Who knows?

POSTAL M TIERS.

Considerable misunderstanding exists
among business men as to what is en-.
titled to pass in the mails as third class
matter. For their information we have
compiled from official sources the follow
ing which will be found entirely correct
and reliable. Third class matter embra,
ces books (printed and blank, transient
newspapers and periodicals, circulars, and
other matter wholly in print, proof-sheets
and corrected proof-sheets and manuscript
copy accompanying the same, prices cur
rent with prices filled out in writing,
printed commercial papers filled out in
writing provided such writing is not in
the nature of personal correspondence,
such as papers of legal procedure, deeds
of all kinds, way bills, bills of lading, in
voices, insurance policies and the various
documents of insurance companies, hand
bills, posters, acknowledgements, en-
cravings, envelopes with printing there
on, heliotypes, Autographs, Photographic
and stereoscopic views with title written
thereon, printed blanks and printed cards.
The rate of postage on everything above
named is one cent for every two ounces
or fraction thereof It must be borne in
mind, however, that the postmaster gen
eral rules chat partly printed CONNER
cial papers which are in themselves, or
become the representative of a monetary
value, are always subject to the rate for
matter of the first Glass;" and must pay
three cents for each half ounce This
means that receipts and invoices of
merchandise which are receipted, are
subject to letter rates. The following
insurance papers also come under the
same heading and are treated as letters,
to-wit: policy signed, daily reports,
notices of premium due, assignments, pro
missory notes, applications for insurance,
and all notices from local agents to policy
olders An unreipted invoice or state
ment of account, being an ordinary COM
mercial paper, can be mailed for one
cent, but when it is receipted it possesses
a money value and is no longer treated
as third class. So do not attempt to mail
for one cent any invoice or statement of
account which is receipted, or bears upon
it any personal memorandum, such as
"balance of order in few days." "please
remit" or anything of that kind. When
you do that the missive becomes subject
to letter rates of postage, and fit happens
to get into the mail and is detected, as it
is likely to be, double letter postage Ode
Quoting the one cent first paid) will be
collected of the person to whom it is de
livered. -.ca af9

DAVID ARMSTRONG, a colored man
living in Madison parish, near Miliken's
Bend, Louisiana, was taken from his
house by twenty or thirty men, on the
Sunday night preceding the election,
murdered, and his body thrown into the
river, from whence it was recovered few
days since, according to the Carroll Parish
Conservative, a democratic organ. 1t is
acedless to say, we presume, that Mill

ONE result of thesrecent Virginia cleo
ton and the split in the democratic ranks
is growing disposition upon the Bour-
bons to acknowledge that the colored
folk have some rights which democrats
are bound to respect. Leading democra-
tic citizen of Richmond county have petit
toned the democratic judge to include
colored citizens in the jury lists and d.,
he said. "By .jinks! I'll do it, How
somever, it will be noticed by the dis
patch announcing the event that the
leading democratic citizens" have petit
toned that for the selection of "such of
the colored citizens of the county as the
court shall think well quilted to serve
as jurors By singular coincidence
the southern estimate of negro qualifca-
ton to serve as ajuror or in any other
public position, be it ne'er SO humble, is
proportioned in an exact ratio to the
colored gentleman's devotion and fidelity
to the democratic ticket Under these
circumstances we shall not anticipate any
very extensive innovation upon the CHI
valric usages of Richmond county, Vir-
ginia, in ladleing out the pabulum of the
commonwealth. But we are glad the
democrats are disposed to test the truth

The invention of that Superior and

important eras in the history of machin-
cry, and when we consider it's great use
fulness and extremely low price ($25), it
is very difficult to conceive of any inven-
ton for domestic use of more or even
equal Importance to families. 1t has great
capacity for work; beautiful, smooth, and
quiet movement, rapid execution, certain
ty and delightful ease of operation, that
at once commends it above all others.
The working parts are all steel, strong
and durable, and will last a life time:
the bobbins hold 100 yards of thread: the
stitch is the firmest of all the stitches
made, neat and regular, and can be regu-
lated to sew stitches from an inch in
length on coarse material down to the fin
est, so infinitesimal as to be hardly dis
cernible with the naked eye, and with
rapidity rendering it impossible to count
them as fast as made; it has more attach
ments than any other, and it does to per-
lection all kinds of heavy, course, plain,
fine, or fancy needle-work with ease, and
tar less labor than required on other ma
chimes. 1t needs no commentator, the
rapid sales, increasing demand, and vol
u,ntary encomiums from the press, and the
thousands of families who use them, am
ply testify to their ,undoubted worth as
standard and reliable household necessity

one had to be brought from London.
This year there was no such difficulty,
and instead of being met with Kisses and

ceived. But why this changer" said Mr..
Cough dramatically. "The people have
been frightened into it. 1t has been truly
sad that the workingman often goes into
the public house respectable man, and
comes out felon. The people know this
and they are afraid. In England there
are two pledges-the total abstinence
pledge and the moderation pledge. In
in this country there is also moderation
society. Now we have no quarrel with
the moderate drinkers, and will not say
one word against them. But there are
some men who can drink moderately,
and others who cannot do SO. 1t is like
the negro who needed shoes, and saw an
expensive pair in shop that he liked
very much, He made compromise
with his conscience, and, instead of steal
ing the better shoes, took a cheaper pair
from the shelf. l believe prevention is
better than cure"
