INTERESTING TO INVESTORS. Capitalists or others with money to invest will do we'll to make note of the advertisement of the New York, New England and Western Investment Company, published elsewhere. One who knows them well writes us as follows: "The Company is & thorougl ly responsible one, en- titled to confidence, and having special facili- ties for placing investments safely and for caring for the interests of it's patrons. It has been very successful as a medium between purchasers of investment bonds and the municipal and other corporations issuing them. and has repeatedly secured the adjust ment of matters in controversy to the satisfac- tion of both parties. The Company also ne- gotiates loans on western farms at from to 10 per cent. with ample security, and collects interest without charge to the lender. It also deals in the choicest and safest bonds Of every description. Among it's stockholders are some of the most reputable business men of New York and Boston. and the extent of it's busi- ous offers to investors. The company will soon have branch offices in Hartford and New Haven"
 The row in Congress over Representative Townshend's effort to get tariff legislation re- ferred to another committee than that of the Ways and Means, which naturally has charge of that subject, is curious instance of the conservatism with which that body usually acts. The majority want good many chan ges in the tariff. The Ways and Means Con- mittee, however, is strongly protectionist in its makeup, and refuses to report any of the measures proposed. To dodge this bar, Mir. Townshend succeeded, one day last week, in having some proposed tariff legislation referred to committee of which he is chairman When the trick was discovered, there was great row which lasted two or three days, but finally resulted in taking the bills away from MT. Townshend's committee and giving them to the Ways and Means. Speaker Randall is much blamed by the Western Democracy for having made up the Ways and Means con- nisttee ia the interest of protection, but there are enough ps0tectionist Democrats in the present House to join with the Republicans and defeat any tariff reform measure.

To Be Hung.

The Supreme Court has affirmed the de-
cision of the circuit court of the first dis
trict of this (Hinds) county, in the case OF
the negro murderer, Henry Washington and
sentenced him to be hung on Friday, De
cember 31st. If any have tears to shed, let
them weep for the widow and orphan chill
dren of the murdered man, who are earning
scant living by picking cotton barefoot
these cold and frosty days. To them belong
all the sympathy that is to be given IN this
case. The accused has been tried before an
upright Judge, by an impartial jury, and
the case has been reviewed and affirmed by
the court fast resort The law should now
be permitted to take its course and its full
penalty be inflicted. If the poverty stricken
and pless condition of the bereaved does
not with justice demand this much, society
does, so that the hands of others who are at
heart murderers, and assassins, shall be
STAYED.
