The song writer, win S. Hays, is
constructing a musical composition
entitled 'mockingbird singing in the
rain" in compliment to Capt. w. S.
Jones, formerly Of this city and now
of Vicksburg. The captain never
having attempted to MARBLE like a
bird, will not be expected to sing the
song.
Numerous delegates to the national
democratic convention, to be held at
Cincinnati next week, passed through
the city yesterday from Arkansas and
Mississippi. Those from Arkansas
are said to lean toward Tilden, but go
unpledged. Those from Mississippi
are likewise uninstructed, but in the
main are Bayard men.
Mr.. Hitzfeld is too kind. He e

were four gallons and a half it, but
the boys in the composing room got
away with 1t by one o'clock, and de-
clare they will never, never-hardly
ever-go to the springs as long as the
springs come to them.
From the Graves cotton plantation,
five miles out the Big Greek plank
road, came a cotton bloom this morn
ing two days old, and a beautiful
fresh-looking pink blossom it is. 1t
was culled from Tim Mack's patch of
twenty-five acres, all healthy, vigor-
GUS and promising.
The LEDGER Office book bindery,

The national greenbaek candidate
for criminal court judge, Col. Harry
NJ. Hill, occupied a bench at the cor
ner of Main and Madison streets this
morning before sunrise, wearing a
smiling appearance and enjoying the
salubrious atmosphere as the morn
ing journals with their accounts of the
greenback clubs proceedings ofyester-
day. 1t is generally conceded that
Col. Hill will hold up his end of the
ticket with a forcible grip.
In earlier days, Principles, not
men," was a favorite motto of polit-
ical parties. Times have changed,
however, and now men instead of
principles weaken or strengthen a po-
litical ticket, in the ratio that the
men are weak or strong. An illustra-
ton in point is our present criminal
Judge, L. B. Horrigan. He has a
powerful hold upon the hearts of the
people of this community, and would
prove a powerful adjunct to the list Of
candidates upon any of the proposed
tickets. Our quarterly court, if it
would be legal to do so, might we'll
afford to make an appropriation to be
added to Judge Hortigan's salary,
provided he can be induced to remain
in his present position.

Early and j. w. Paine testified to-day
in the case of the will Of Mrs. Sarah
A. Dorsey, who left Davis her legatee,
which is contested on the ground of
undue influence, which Mr.. Davis
emphatically denied. Mrs. Dorsey,
he said, believed that tho Confederacy
still existed; that its truths we're eter-

this 200, and if that was insanity,
both he and Mrs. Dorsey were crazy.

Disgusted beyond measure, he left the
