The Lunatic Asylum.
DR.. T. j. MITCHELL, THE SUPERINTENDENT

Hon. j. J. Williams, of the House,
writes rs follows to the Grenada Senti-
mel:
All things considered, the institution is
an honor to the state, and there is not an
intelligent citizen in the State, who, on
visiting it, would not freely be taxed liber-
ally for its support. To see these four hun
dred people varying from handsome and
well-iormed Of both SEXES to the hideoUs
and maliormed, each with reason, the only
part of the Divinity that we claim,
wrecked, if not destroyed, is well calcu-
lated to open the heart Of the miser and
move the sympathy of the calloUs. DR..
Mitchell, the Superintendent, besides being
learned and skilled in his profession, is
high-toned, sociable warm-hearted, cult
waited gentleman, and from all that ] can
learn, assiduously devotes his time and tai
ents to the best interests of the institution
in all of its qualifications and bearing,
whether affecting the welfare of the Inflated
lunatic and his subordinates in attendance
or the honor and interest Of the common
wealth. | say this in behalfof good citizen,
q good man and good officer. To say less
would not be doing him justice; to say
more even would not subject me to the
charge of fattery.

The senatorial ElectiOn--A Fiction
OF the Herald Exploded.
Meridian News. !

Meridian News.
The Nicksburg Herald says that Senator
George is an '.out and out hard money
man" and that the speeches Of Bar3sdale
and Singleton were ''flled with imitation
ideas" and as George was elected and Banks
dale and Singleton defeated, the inference
would be that George was elected because
he differed with them on this question
Nothing could be farther from the fact.
With a full knowledge of their financial
views Barksdale and Singleton received the
vote OF two-thirds OF the Democratic mem
bers Of the Legislature for over forty ballots
against less than one-third given 10 GEN.
Walthall who was known 70 be hard
money man" The friends Of Senator
Lamar appear now To think that the
defeat of Barksdale and Singleton was
necessary rs the Endorsement TO his vote on
the silver BILL and are disposed to claim
the election of George rs a triumph. 1t Is
fortunate Tor them, no such issue was made
during the caHyass-if it had been, there
would have been nothing now to boast over.
(Our friend Of the News is right.
The election Of Judge George was no
endorsement OF Lamar's opposition to
the silver bill. II any one wishes to
put the assertion to practical test, let
a resolution be introduced in the Legis-
Iature endorsing his course on that
question and see what viii become oft. J

When Hodgson, of the Mobile Register,

he but proves the inveteracy of his ignorance
and his mental poverty. The editor of the
Mercury has lived in Mississippi, off and
on, over forty years, settling here in 1886,
at Macon, where he published the first
paper ever printed in that town, when 10
years of age. He was, for several years,
connected with the Mobile Mercury, but
even during that period, his family resided
in Mississippi most of the time, and his
domicil was in Mississippi
And our esteemed contemporary
will allow us to add, has made his mark
as one of the ablest journalists of the
eventful times in which he has lived.

In the selection of Judge J. L. George for
the high position of Senator in the Con-

clined to think with some of our cotempo-
raries of the Mississippi press that any cen
sure or condemnation has been thrown upon
the gentlemen who were prominent aspirants
for the position Mississippians have the
highest appreciation of the distinguished
men who have been foremost in redeeming
the State from the rule of the carpet-bag
nterlopers who were fast bringing the State
to ruin, but at the same time they look to
the future as well as to the past. Major
Barksdale, Col. Singleton, Gen. Walthall,
and other prominent aspirants for the Sen
atorship, had SO many friends thatit became
necessary to find compromise man, and we
think probably no one could have been
chosen who would more thoroughly have
united the discordant elements than the
distinguished gentleman who has been
selected. In Gen. George we have a repre-
sentative man of the State, and all should
be satisfied.-Ndtchez Democrat
