The comet., 1880-01-10

To the Editor OF the Comet:
1t does seem to the writer that this
portion of the State has been ignored
long enough. We have not been
clamorous office-seekers. We have
patiently submitted to be ruled by
Northern and Central Mississippi, but
"forbearance ceases to be virtue
and we must and ought to speak out,
and claim our rights. We were not
disposed to grumble when the present
Chief Justice, who comes from the
second Supreme Court Judicial Dis
trict, was raised to the bench, making
two out of the three Judges from that
District for two reasons; one, the law
did not inhibit it; the other, that he
was eminently qualified for the posi-
tion by his judicial learning and his
faithfulness to his country. But we
do'grumble now, and in good faith we
demand that our section should no
longer be overlooked. We have men
of ability, of statesmanseip and en-
minent for their patriotism, who would
do honor to the State and credit to
themselves by being elected 10 the
United States Senatorship. And now
that the Northern and Central portion
of the State are wrangling over their
favorites, we would suggest the man
who can unite all portions of the State
if his merits were properly canvassed
by the members of the Legislature.
Gen. VIM. IT. Martin is a representa-
tive man of Southwest Mississippi
in fact of the whole State--as much
so as any candidate proposed. He is
among the most active in the agricul-
tural development Of his sectiOn-not
a mere theorist-but worker in the
soil. He is practical horticulturist,
cultivates taste for the improvement
of stock of all kinds. A jurist that
would adorn not only our Supreme
Court bench, but the bench of the
Supreme Court of the United States,
his practice having carried him along
all the paths that leads to the highest
legal knowledge. If true devotion to
his country in i" the time that tried
mems souls" in the recent trying days
of Radical corruption and profigacy,
and faithful integrity Of character,
with emminent and acknowledged |
ability and qualifications as a states
man should offer any claims for his
election, then duty to the State, to
equal representation, to maintenance
of true principles, points him out as
the proper man.
Yours, SOUTH MISSISSIPPI.

my SWEETEST SONG FOR THEE.

There's not a careless wind that blows
But has its own beloved rose,
And when the West foretells the hour,
1t hies to that remembered bower;
And in some myrtles dewy shade,
Begins its gentle serenade.
Although at morn upon the hills
II trifes with the mountain rills,
And whispers to each flower 1t meets
Some gentle word that's full of sweets
Still, still the dearest song it knows
Is saved for that beloved rose. o..
There's not II star in yon blue. sky .
But downward turns its tirelcss eye,
Until its wandering glances rest,
On the blue wave it loves the best;
Then it begins to tell once more,
Things sweet as If unheard before.
The beauties of the land may smile,
That star may turn and spirit awhile,
With those soft dews that wet the cheek
Ofhowers thatwith theirperume speak;
Aud though its glances may idly seem
To have for each a loving beam,
The first, the brightest, and the last,
On that blue wave is fondly east.
| have message for that rose,
And for that wave that gently flows,
And they will tell the wind and star,
OF one sweet love that's brighter far,
Than ought that winds or stars ofheaven
TO flower or wave hath e'er been giv'n;
And thus whero'er my home may be
III wait my sweetest song to thee.

The following which we clip IRON
The Washington correspondence OF
the new New York Star-the leading
Democratic paper of that city-pays
a handsome tribute to our distinguish
cd fellow citizen, and as it is based
upon the Intercourse of the writer
with numerous well informed citizens
of Mississippi and adjoining States
constantly arriving, it may be regard
cd as indicative of the drift of public
opinion:
"The vacancies existing, or soon to
exist, in the Senate are creating great
interest both here and elsewhere.
The succession to Bruce, the Senator
from Mississippi is being hotly dis
puted by about dozen aspirants,
exclusive of jeff Davis, no longer
talked of in that connection by
Northern Radical newspapers. The
race seems to he chiefly between
Messrs. Walthall and Houston, with
the chances apparently in favor of the
latter, for the reason of his dOmicilc
being in n different section Of the
StOte from that represented by Sena-
tor Lamar, while Walthall lives i'm
the Senator's neighbOrhOOd. The
rule Of giving the different portions Of
the State each its representative man
i'm the Senate seems generolly to he
considered a wise one. Both are able
and good men. Houston is regarded
as one of the ablpst if not the ablpst

GOred by n Bull.



On Wednesday, December 24th, Mr..
]. Fl. Lang was seriously stabbed by
Jim Bull at Quitman. The difficulty
was brought about by horse swap.
Lang and Bull had traded horses, and
Bull coming to the conclusion that
Lang had got the better of him, en-
deavored to persuade him to annul the
trade and take his horse back. This
Lang refused to do, and Bull got mad
used some high words. Lang after
wards went itno Mr.. ]. s. Thomp-
sons store and Bull followed him,
stating that he wanted to have a
private chatr with him. lie came
up to Lang in the back part Of the
store and renewed the difficulty,
Knocking Lang backwards fnto a
barrel which was standing by, and
then stabbing him i'm several places.
his last stroke would doubtless have
put an end to Mr.. Langis existance
had not someone near by caught his
arm. Bull was arrested and tried
before Justice NOrthrup, who bound
him over in the sum of 5000, and he
now ladguishes in Jail. Mr.. Lang, we
are glad to learn, Is recovering from
his wounds.

NO KNOWLEDGE OF A LARGE DEBT.

Prominent directors Of the DcIawarc. Larka-

evening the published report tnat The Reading n
They were unable in.thc absence of President Sloan,
to state the exact amount of the debt, but they
said that no mention of large debt had been made
an amount due from the Rpading Company, the
directors of the Lackawanna Company had not
been informed OF it. Perhaps President Sloan
stole a horse last night" one director said, "and it
is true that | cannot deny from absolute knoWl,
edge; but nothing could convince ne that ho did
so"
At the time of the Reading failure, President
Sloan admitted that the company owed the Lacka
wanna Company about $4,000, for which income
that the debt was abundantiy secured. President
Sloans visit to Philadelphia at that time Is said to
have been on account of Moses Taylor, who was
large creditor of the Reading Company.
