Col. lamar's Sickness.

The Washington correspondent
of the Louisville Courier-Journdt
writ ties as follows under date of the
10th: "a Mississippi gentleman
tells me he is not apprehensive
about Senator Lamar, as he knows
him to be subject to attacks of
faintness, which are alarming for 4
brief time and then pass off entire>
ly, and attributes his recent illness
entirely to excitement with regard
to the Senatorial contest in Missis-
sippi. He mentioned an instance
of Senator Lamar's proneness to
such attacks from excitement, that
once during the war he (my inform
anti was present when Wigfall was
criticisilg JEFF. Davis very severely,
and Lamar, who then adorcd Davis.
was 81 overcome at hearing him
disparaged that he fiInted dead
away, and was with difficulty re-
stored to consciousness"
Blaiue, who has a national repu-
tation as the Painting Statesman,
must look to his laurels.

THE Brandon Republican advo>
Gates the passage of an insolvent
law by the Legislature, for the ben
eft of honest men whose old debts
are crushing them. The Republican
says:
Our Legislature could not pass
any measure of relief to he people
that would do more good than such
a law. There are hundreds of men
hopeIess!y in debt, and with all
their industry and energy can never
pay ont. They can pay little
perhaps year by year. but the pros
pect is gloomy, they and their fans
lilies become discouraged, and the
boys are leaving their homes to do
for themselves. Creditors are wills
ing to wait in most instances, SIM
ply because that is the only chance
OF ever collecting anything. With
such a law on the statute book, i'm a
few months old debts would be set>
tied and new era OF prosperity
would begin.

The Fourth of July.

Matters are progressing very favoraoly IN
regard TO the coming celebration of the
Fourth of July in this city, under the auspii'
ces of the Queen City Guards. The attend
ance OF military companies from other points
in the state promises to be very fair, and
there will be spirited contest among some
of the crack organizations of the state for
the first prize of $3.50 in cash. Mr.. Charles
G.. Weyersburg, the chairman of the com;
mittee in charge of the celebration, grand
marshal OF the day, is bending his usual zeal
and untiring energy to the task of making
the occasion q successful one in every respect
The cooperation of citizens and attendance
of the outside public is looked for and should
be heartily contributed to. The gain to Dal-
las, from the proper observance Of lndepeend'
ence Day, is not lightly to be estimated in
every way. The fitting entertainment OF The
city's guests on that day will be made most
apparent from the extent of the display ana
amount of the enthusiasm manifest in the
festivities of the day. There should most
sssuredly be "union" of our people in TIL;
matter.

We have no severe criticism TO apply to
the administration of President HAYES.
We have not been in accord with all that
it has done, though we have made great al
lowance for many things that lave not met
our approval, under the belief that he has
been over-couiding, and has been deceived
by selfish, designing and unscrupulous
men. lie has trusted to assurances that
have never been made good, aud has con-
fded in men who have only secured his
confidence TO betray it. lie was made TO
believe that the southern section of tho
country could be brought into harmony
with the constitution and laws of the ma
tion by q bestowol of patronage upon DEM
ocrats ia the southern states. He trusted
these assurances, and the result has been
that no return Of good faith has followed
these concessions in the way Of placation
aud conciliatlon Thus for nearly four
years certain democrats in the south have
enjoyed republican fayors at the expense
of q faith which has ended in broken prom

THE most pusllanimous of all attempts
to hide or sneak out of crime that have
been made in this country is the BARNUM
explanation of the MoREY forgery af-
fair 1t is thinner than gauze and weaker
than water. 1t is an insult TO the intelli-
gencc aud good sense of the American peo-
pie, and only tends to sink the snealis con-
nected with the crime into 10 wer depth
of contempt, if such thing were possible.
1t virtually admits the fraud and the crime,
and then sells up a scuscless plea in extenu-
alton, which excies derision and disgust in
the public mind, which is the fit ending oil
a base conspiracy and shameless crime,
This campaign has virtually ended the po-
litical careers of thrce men. 1t has buried
HANCOCK and disgrRced HEWITT. As fol-
BARNUDG, he has never been other than q
bad egg, but this affair has opened the
shell and developed the rottenness that has
long been lurking beneath. He could moi
be disgraced, while HEWITT has been by

IN view of the fact that the MoREY
Chinese letter is now clearly proven and
universally conceded 10 have been das-
tardly forgery, and that The authors and
instgators of it are likely to fill a felon's

Postmaster ANGER was led into slight
technical error by the records of the depart
ment, as to the exact date the new cancel
ing stamps were placed in use. That these
stamps were pot in use at the time the
letter was alleged to have been mailed no one
has attempted or will attempt TO question.
The evidence of the postoffice witnesses was
conclusive as to this, aud the defense did
not even attempt 10 combat it, In the
vital and material point, then, Postmaster
ANGER was right and his critics were
