United States Senator.

Chester (Chowtaw Coz Recorder
We this week place at our mast.
head, Us our choice, and we believe
the choice of the democracy of
Choctaw county, the name OF Ethel
BarkslaIe, of Kinds county, as u
candidate for United States senator
to succeed b. X. Bruce. In doing
this we must not be understood as
speaking disparagingly of any
other aspirant to the same exalted
/ position, but acting under sense
Of duty to the State, and to one of
the noblest SONS of the South, we
feel impellcd to the course. 1t is
i important, especially at this juno
ture in our political history, that
man of unyielding integrity, un-
questioned patriotism and lofty
craftsmanship should succeed to u
seat in the highest legislative de-
partment Of this government, so
long occupied by enemies to our
people. We have been watching
with deep interest, mingled with IL
feeling Of anxiety, the political
chessboard, as the various men APP
peared, before deciding upon the
course to be pursued by the Record
Cr, as an earnest worker III the
ranks of the democracy of the
State. We have weighed the ques-
ton carefully, and have reached
the deliberate conclusion that, as u
matter of duty to the State and
the democracy of the whole coun-
try, we ought to give our support
only to man who meets all the re-
quirements alluded to above; and
when we find them united with
eminent ability and faithful public
service in the person of Major
Barksdale, we feel that it is due to
him and to the State to speak out.
His public life runs through almost
quarter of a century, and whether
as Il soldier or a civil officer, not
stain can be foand upon his record,
Consistent, honest and true to his
people, stopping not to ask what
would be popular, but following
only where duty leads, if his career
were suddenly ended today and
the volume of his public service
were closed forever, no more fitting
inscription could be carved upon
his monument than faithful to
every trust" a
He is in full accord with the peo-
pie of the State on the question of
civil liberty, the purity of the bal
lot and financial reform, and in
hearty sympathy with them in all
the wrongs and expressions which
have been heaped upon them; and
in looking back over his record, we
know that he has shown IA wisdom
to rise to an appreciation of their
wants, and withal too pure to be-
tray them, too faithful to desert
them, ,and too fearless to hesitate to
defend them.

There is no sin which doth more
detace Gods image than drunken
ness, it disgulseth person, and
doth even amman him. Drunken
ness makes him have the throat of
a fish, the belly Of swine, and tile
head of an ass. Drunkenness is
the shame OF nature, the extin-
guisher of reason, the shipwreck
Of chastity, and the murder of
conscience. Drunkenness is hurt
ful to the body; the cup kills more
than the cannon; it causes drop
sizes, catarrhS, apopleXles; it fills
the eye With fire, and the legs with
water and turns the body into an
hospital.-T. WotSoM

RaiirOad Matters.

The Bethlehem correspondent Of the Phil
adelphia Ledger, writing under the date of
the 9th inst, says: The Lehigh Valley
Railroad officials here are not little sur
prsed at the persistence displayed by some
of the Philadelphia papers in building the
new line from that city to Bethlehem, in
competition to the P. & r. leased road. Mr..
Sayre says the easiest thing to do in the
world is to build railroad on paper, and in
a newspaper. Acting President Hartshorne
on Monday asked Mr.. sayre, Superintend-
ent and Engineer of the Lehigh Valley Rail-
road home to dine. En- route Mr.. Hartshorne
pointed out to Mr. Sayre the line the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company proposes to build
to tap Germantown and Chestnut Hill
This is all the foundation the papers of Tues
day evening and this morning had for the
lengthy accounts in reference to the new
line. No engineers have been placed on
the route, and the Lehigh Valley directors
at their meeting Tuesday, neither discussed
nor voted on the subject. The line the
Pennsylvania Company are now surveying
has become necessary to keep their share o
the travel from those sections, and has nc
meaning beyond that, at least not SO far a!
the Lehigh Valley Company is concerned.

account of his action in the Halle township
