A d X. OF H,

This body convened in jackson on
the 18th inst, and remained in SEES
sion two days. Eighty-one lodges
were represented by delegates and
committe men. The membership
has about doubled in this State in
the last year, and new lodges are
beinginstituted all the time. There
are eighty-four lodges, with a mem
bership of three thousand, two hun
bred and twenty-one, in Mississip-
pi. Aberdeen was selected as the
next place of meeting, and the third
Tuesday in June as the time. The
lodge adjourned after ~electing and
installing the following officers:
Grand dictator, w. HI. Wall, Sardis;
grand vice dictator, j. L. McCaskill,
Brandon; grand assistant dictator
d. III. Wallace, Goodman; grand
chaplain, Az oane, Durant; grand
reporter j. w. Yeargin, Canton;
grand treasurer, J. A. Webb, Jack

FALSE PROPHETS,

Congress adjourned on the 10th
inst at twelve o'clock, after q SEES
sion of six and one half months.
While it cannot be claimed that all
the hopes of Democrats have been
fulfilled, all the Republican predic
tions of bad works have failed. For
campaign material the Republicans
depended wholly upon Democratic
blunters during this session. In
this anticipation they are disap-
pointed. A more careful and con-
servative set of laws makers never
appeared in the Capital than, the
Democratic majority that has work
ed there since December. The Re
publicans predicted and actually
mourned the national finances that
weret to have been all torn up, the
national credit that was to have
been damaged, and the business
that was to have been demoralized
That they have proved false pro
phets, need no telling. Great good
has been done under the existing
circumstances, and with a Demo-
President after next March,
the country will enter upon a period
of national harmony and prosperity
unprecedented. ft cub .

A HIGHLY FAVORED LAND.

The crops of corn and cotton IN
Lincoln and the surrounding coun
ties, so far as we have been able
from frequent inquiry to ascertain
are believed to be better than usual.
The cotton crop is especially fine.
There is also an absence from our
streets of IL farming population,
which speaks well for their industry
and economy. The merchants now
complain that trade is dull. The
same complaint reaches us from
other towns along the line of the
road and from the villages of the in
terror, but this is no bad sign even
for them. By and by the cotton
will begin to roll in. The festive
darkey, with a pocket full of change,
as well as the honest face of the
sunburnt, hard-fisted farmers, will
re-appear and the merchant will be
happy. If no blight occurs to the
crop, it may be safely set down as
above an average.
But it is not so at other places.
Indeed, when we cast our eyes upon
other and distant lands, We have
cause to be very grateful. There
have been floods in the West, fires
