The Ololona Messenger discourses
thusly on the ''human natur' that's
in man" with happy allusion to the
candidate before an election and the
county officer afterwards
The MESSENGER opposed the prop-
osition once presented to the Legis-
lature requiring County officers to
buy their blanks from the local press,
as q matter of principle. We thought
then, as we do now, that the Legis-
lature had as much right to prescribe
what merchant the farmer should
patronize. We thought also, that
gentlemen elected to Office in the
County, would not be SO unmindful
of the services rendered by the local
press in securing their election, as to
send out of the Cor1ty or State for
blanks they could readily obtain at
home. In this, however, we were
mistaken, for we overlooked the fact
that County officers are not, in every
respect, the same individuals who q
few months before were candidates
for position. In other words after
election, some men have not so large
a stock of gratitude on hand, as they
professed to have prior to their in.
stallation into a good, fat Office. These
remarks are not intended for all our
County officers, for some Of them are
not strangers to the fact that the
MESSENGER has first class job De-
partment, and that our prices, when
large orders are given, will compare
favorably with those of John P. Nor
ton, R. & T. A. Ennis, ct. al. Sup-
pose, for the sake of argument, how,
ever, that our charges were largely
in excess of those made by parties
out Of the State, we ask would it be
good policy on the part of Office
holders to patronize out siders, and
starve out the local press? Have
these foreign gentlemen borne the
brunt Of our campaigns in the past,
or can they do SO in future? Will
they come to the rescue of their
friends and patrons, (who have 50
materially aided in breaking down the
local press by transferring their pa
tronage to strangers,) when a re~
election becomes desirable?
These are pertinent questions,
which, in all kindness, we would pres
sent to any official, who overlooks
the services of his hone Office, and
favors outsiders with his orders.
Ponder them well, gentlemen, and
ask yourselves il such q course is ex>
actly fair and right.

The House of Representatives pre-
sented a cane to General Featherston,
and the members of the Senate fol,
lowed suit in presentation of gold
headed cane to Senator Reynolds.
Gen. Featherston was the Chairman
of the judiciary Committee of the
House, and Col. Reynolds was Chair
man of the same committee appointed
by the Senate, and was, by virtue of
his Senatorial rank, Chairman Of the
Joint Committee of the tYo Houses.
We heard prominent and astute
Senator say just after adjournment,
that the session was shortened at
least thirty days by the activity, tack
and business dispatch of these two
mon, Reynolds and Featherston.
We do not doubt the correctness of
this Judgment, and assuming that it
is correct, how much does tho State
of Mississippi owe to the two distin>
guished chairmen? Or, to get the
question freed from too many ''stated
terms" as the Hon. Mr.. Marett would
be likely to say, how much have they
saved to the State? When it is un-
derstood that the Legislature on q
general average costs the State
about $500 day, the looping off of
30 days from the term would leave
the snug sum of $4,000 to be passed
to the credit of Messrs. Reynolds and
Featherston. But the saving of this
expense is not the chief merit of their
influence in shaping Legislation. Tn
der their watchful care, the Acts of
the last Legislature had a pruning
and tempering that removed from
the statutes many unconstitutional
and unwholesome enactments, and
adopted the laws passed to the inte-
rests of the people.
AS body, the Legislature of 1880
did their duty well and faithfully, but
the two prominent members who are
eminently entitled to the gratitude
andpraises of the people, are the
gentlemen named. The compliment
bestowed upon them, judged from this
standpoint, was not an empty one

anan, of Holly Springs, whose name was
sent in to the Senate by Mr.. Hayes fol
confirmation as Super VISOR of the Census,

Senator Lamar does not propose to per-
nit the Executive or the Chief OF the

of appointing Supel eisors of Census.

SAN Francisco, March IL The ar,
rest of Kearney was made quietly,
and has caused no excitement. 1t is
doubted whether he can be convicted
for the reason that the Sheriff, who
draws the jurors, is his personal
friend and, with the District Attor1
ney, was elected on the Working
mems ticket. Some, however, think
the Citizens Protective Union can
exert influence enough to secure his
conviction and punishment. The
witness against him is member Of

tending the meetings of the work
ingmen in disguise, nnd taking notes
of the incendiary language used by
the speakers.

DUBLIN, March 10-The Mansion
house relief committee says munif
cent contributions continue to come
in. Fifty-four hundred pounds were
received yesterday from Australia
and New Zealand. A contribution OF
$50 is acknowledged from Whining
ton, N. G. The funds now amount
to f109 600, Of which G54,000 are on
hand. The committee anticipates the
greatest distress in May, June and
July, when it fears all its powers will
be tested to its utmost. Had it not
been for Australian contributions the
operations of the committee would
have long since ceased.

'udge Field as a Presidential Can
dida c.
The recent minori y opinion, rens
dered by Justice FielI, of the Unit
ed States Supreme Court, in the two
Virginia cases, is regarded as placing
him in the rank of possible candi-
dates for the Democratic nomination
for President Judge Field halls
from California, and his selection
would assure to the Democracy the
electoral votes of the so called Pacific
States, California, Oregon, Colorado
and Nevada, and we are assured that
his nomination would be highly ac~
ceptable to New York, New Jersey
and Connecticut, and be considered
"a fair adjustment" by the friends of
Mr. Hendricks in Indiana and the
other Western States, who would in
the event that Mr.. Seymour positively
declines to run, be willing that ,heir
favorite should accept the second
place on the ticket with him.
The friends Of Senator Bayard are
not at all Respondent in regard to
the chances of their favorito at the
Cincinnati convention, and his man
liness commands the esteem and res
pect Of those who differ widely with
him in regard TO matters of finance.
In fact the financial question is fast
losing its hold upon the public mind,

contemplate becoming candidates for
Congress from this District, we repro
duce the following editorial and COM
munication from the Tupelo Journal, EN-
dorsing and urging Hon.JoHN NJ. ALLEN,
of Lee county, for Congress, as success
sor to our present representative, Col. Mul
drow. The letter was written from some
one in our county, and the sentiments
expressed are appreciated by the hume
rous friends OF Captain Allen in Mon

We publish in another column au en-
thusiastic communication from leading

talented townsman, Capt. J. NJ. Allen,
for Congress. The high esteem in which
Capt Allen is held by the glorious De-
mocracy of "Old Monroe" is a source OF
plide to the Democrats OF Lee, and the
partiality expressed for him in the Con
gressional contest awakens responsive
echo in their hearts. We do not know
positively that Capt. Allen is, or will be
q candidate for Congress, but one thing
we do know, that there is no man in the
District who is capable of occupying the
position with more honor to himself and
constituency, nor one who deserves bet
ter at the hands of the Democracy. With
him as our standard bearer, we could
challenge the opposition to bring its
most formidable and renowned champion
into the field and could enter the fight
without fear of defeat, or stain upon the
escutcheon of our party. His recognized
ability, energy, zeal, and iniiexible
courage, combined with sound discre>
ton, lofty patriotism, and an unsulied
private and political character, stamp
