1t is well known that the Vicksburg
Herald carried Mississippi for Hancock.
The above is going the rounds of
the press credited to the Vicksburg
Herald. We never saw it in that
paper, and hope there is some mis-
take in the credit No one paper
Or individual has any right to
claim to have carried this State for
Hancock. The assumption is an
absnrdity, it seems to us, that the
most egotistical would not claim.

Ma. S. Z. Carey, Passenger Agent
of the c., St. L. & N. O. r. r. died
in New Orleans last Friday of con
ge8tion of the brain. He had from
time to time, been connected with
the road since 1856, and was one of
the best Railroad men in the South,
and a true gentleman in every res
pect. His remains were escorted to
his old home, Holly Springs, by a
large number OF Railroad friends,
and buried there last Saturday.
Peace to his ashes.

Gen. Adams, the present Clerk of
Congress, will organize the next
House of Representatives, and as
he is a Democrat, the Republicans
fear he will reorganize enough Dem
ocratic members to prevent the Re-
publicans from controlling that
body. The Aberdeen Examiner
says there are a dozen contested dis
tricts. and Adams can put the Dem
ocrats upon the roll, and throw the
onus of contest upon the Republi-
cans, leaving their cases to go to a
hardly be likely to report before the
end of the term.

The Weather and Crops.

We have had had weather for a
month passed. The cotton is rot
ting in the fields and the farmers
and merchants look blue. The
roads are in such wretched condi-
ton that farmers cannot bring to
market the cotton they picked before
the bad weather commenced, and
business is almost Frustrated. In
this section the cotton crop will fall
short of last year at least twenty
five per cent, and probably more;
but cotton is one fourth higher than
it was this time last year, and the
price is still advancing. If the
crop is not cut short of last year
more than twenty-five per cent. and
the present price holds up, there
will be as much money in the coun-
try as last season.
The corn crop is better than ii
was last year; the potato crop is as
large, but owing to the wet weather
it is still in the ground. The pea
crop is ruined. If the weather fairs
off soon, so that the crops can be
gathered, there is no reason why
the country should not be as pros
nerous this yea as last.

an extremely modest man, in fact ioc
modest to ask n newspaper to mention
the existence Of IN enterprise like the

ask that Won investigate this matter and

which will come before the Senate

OF course the Democrats have circulated
similar documents to the one above pre-
sented, and in doing so were
guilty of nothing wrong, and did only that

from this lberality that Mr.. Murphy was
fishing for the next nomination for con-
gress OF for the post office or representative
from this district. We are not certain
which of these three positions Mr.. NJ. has
in his minds eye but are inclined to be-
ieve that the promise to pay $3.50 is in
tended to serve as stepping stone to the
post office. This is all right and good in

solemnly protests against any man calling
his promising powers into activity to such
an extent as to brighten off the smaller

The assertion that mo order has been

bareiaced insults will certainly do the
party but little good, aud should and will
lose them many votes. The editor Of the
News is well aware of the fate Of his party
should the colored branch become thorough
ly disaifected, and all his Dor
rowed thunder regarding the party
which raised them TO their high estate
of manhood falls fat. And while on this
