Christmas nj the University.

While u number of the cadets had
awaited themselves of the short furlough
usually granted to tliose who desire to
spend tho holidays in tic family circle,
n larger number had remained ut tho
University. In view Of this, President
Johnston caused dinner to DO served In
tho large dining hall at o'clock p. NJ.
Besides the cadets, tho President and
the Commandant, Hon. s. NJ. Robertson,
there were gathered around tho festive
board, tho Vioe-President of the Board
of Supervisors, Hon. Leon Jastrcmski,
the Treasurer, Harvey Skol6cld, Esq,
the Secretary, Wilmot II. Goodalo, Esq,
Professors 'Thos. ID. Boyd and Calhoun,
tho latter the Secretary to the President,
and Mr.. Conerly, tho Instructor IN tho
Agricultural Department.
Mr.. Jadot, the Majordomo, had ca
tered well for tho occasion, as was evi-
denced by the quality and the variety
of dishes and desserts that graced the
prettily arranged table; sight which
seemed to excite his just pride, already
wrought up by tho three hearty cheers,
which the cadets had given him during
tho forenoon, In appreciation OF his sue
cessful efforts in conducting the commits
sariat of tho institution.
At tho close of the dinner, appropriate
toasts were offered in turn by Messrs'
Jastremski, Johnston, aud Goodale,
which we're received with loud applause
by tho cadets, who responded through
their Commandment, Mr.. Robertson.
The want of space forbids us from
giving u synopsis Of the sentiments OK
pressed by tho several gentlemen; yet
wo cannot omit to mention that portion
of President JOhnstOn's remarks, where
in he said, in substance, chat Mt thu
close of tho unfortunate struggle fo
Southern Independence, lo had deter
mined TO devote his energies towards
the education Of the youth Of tho South
It was not, in financial point Of view
o rcmunerative pursuit, but his hear
was in tho cause, especially toward
Louisiana, to which State his father
Gen. Albert Sydney Johnston, owed hi
military education ut West Point
having been appointed a cadet from tin
Parish Of Rapides. Though it might b'
held that his sire had repaid by his ser
vices, tho debt he had contracted to
wards the State, he, Col. Johnston, fel
that he owed it to Louisiana to which
no was bound by those ties, as we'll a
by those of marriage, to do all in hi
power in disseminating knowledge
amongst her sons. He promised tin
Cadets to labor faithfully for their nd
vancemcnt and in perpetuating u Uni
versity of which they and tho people
would DO proud.
Thus was the afternoon of Christina
pleasantly spent at tho University.

REOONsTRUOTING WEST POINT

General SchoGeld, tho soldier and
gentleman, is no longer to DO Super
intendent of the West Point Military
School. The Conscientious and frank
utterances contained in that portion
of his report which refers to the
Whitaker comedy were of too manly
and patriotic u character to suit the
demagogues who, by fair or foul
means, have contrivcd to retain the
roins of government in their hands.
It matters little to the Republican
schemers whether tho training school
of tho Army is inquired in its
usefulness, or tho just pride of its
graduates be lowered.
The colored voter must be retained
within the fold. Hence have they
found it necessary to pander to his
preiudices. TO this end General o.
0. Howard, whose name is linked
with that hyprocritical swindle, the
Freedmen's Bureau, has been assign
cd to the post 50 hononbly filled by
Gen. Schotield.
From the radical standpoint How
ard is pre- emincntly tie man to fill the
position.
BY this time, the words of the Ger
man soldier of the Eleventh corps
who, after its crushing defeat u
Charlottesville, by Stonewall Jack
son, sworo that
"Wo fight nit Siegel
But wo run nit Howard
have almost been forgotten. Besides
ifHoward's name was the by word
then, in illustrating an inglorious
rout, has he not won greater laurels
since as the head of the Freedmen
Bureau ....
Everybody in this country know
that Howard is not proud man AM
that in consequence of the humilit.
of his nature he has never believes
himself "better than u niger"
The apostles of miscegenation vii
applaud the action of the commando
of the armies, in appointing so prom
inent a champion of social equality a
Howard to direct the social and mill
tary training of the young cadet
through whom it is hoped the colo
distinction will finally be effaCed.
It only remains for the Republica
Congressman of the North and Soutl
to appoint colored cadets to Yves
Point, instead of whites, to make thi
forward movement q brilliant success
The colored voter should not allo,
himself to be duped by the simple ap

asked him if he (the Solon) had such Il
thing asa Lucifer match in his vest

do you want with it?"

piled the boy.
"Ah, my dear young friend, that's
bad habit. You ought not to indulge
i'm the vicious practice Of smoking, and
YOU so young, too, Let me advise
YOU to abandon it before it gets hold
on you"
The boy struck the match and Went
putting away. But it wasn't many
hours before he had a chance to get
even. He met SolOn coming out Of
Chris Hinkie's oyster shop.
"Bin indulgin?" asked young hope
full.
"Yes." answered SOlOn, " simply
took a little rock and rye for my cold"
"Ah, my dear sir" said the boy,
gravely shaking his head, Z" its bad
habit-its a dangerous habit-its a
pernicious practice. 1t came very
near being the ruin of me. Let lac
implore you to abandon it while you

THE DAILY COMET.

Yielding to the solicitations of many
friends in various parts of the State,
THE COMET management has con-
cluded to issue daily edition during
the session of the Legislature. 1t
will give full but condensed synop-
sis Of the proceedings of the Legisla-
ture, telegraphic reports, sketches,
editorials, local and general news,
Supreme Court Decisions, etc. Every
effort will be made to make THE
DAILY COMET meet the wants of its
friends and patrons.
Advertisers will find THE DAILY
COMET valuable medium to reach
the public of Mississippi. Liberal con-
tracts for advertising to run one week
Or one month will be made.
Subscriptions 81 per month. Par
les remitting 81 can receive the Daily
during the session, and if the Legis-
lature should not continue in session
two months, the balance due upon
adjournment can be applied to Sub
scription for the WEEKLY COMET.

The Memphis Avalanche affects to
wish the election of Jefferson Davis
for United States Senator from Missis-
sipp, and it insists that the old Chief
tain is the choice of the Democracy.
The Avalanche, perhaps, is IA good eN-
ponent of the wishes of Mississippi
Democracy, it has been fighting it
long enough. Its conversion to Davis
is not sudden it seems to have
had tendency that way for some
months. Nevertheless, the Legisla-
ture may be able to make choice
without the aid of the Avalanche.
The Democracy of Mississippi would
be glad to conform to the views of the
Avalanche, it has been such staunch
friend to them, but in the complica-
tions likely to arise in the present Sen
atorial muddlc, they may be compelled
to make choice which the Avalanche
don't approve of.

The following is from the Port Glib

The following is from the Port Glib
son Reveille:
A movement to divide Bolivar
county into two counties is on foot
OF course the movement is foreign tC
the public welfare, and for sinister and
sordid purposes. We will notice it
more fully hereafter.
We mean no disrespect to our con-
temporary, but in plain truth, he
knows not whereof he speaks. We
think Il division of Bolivar county un-
advisable; but when a division is advo-
Gated by such men as Messrs. Green
Clay, Field Miller, Harry Grim, and
indeed majority of the planters in
the lower end, and many in the upper
end of the county, we may not pro-
nounce their motives "sordid or sinis-
ter"
Col. Montgomery, Bolivar county's
trusted and able representative, will
endcavOr to procure the passage of II
bill for the submission of this question
to the voters of the county; he will do
this, although opposed to division, to
settle IA question that has long veXed
the citizens Of Bolivar; and has pre-
vented their county seat from acquir-
ing permanent character,

SENATORIAL HOROSCOPE.

There is n strong probability tina
the friends of the three Senatorial
candidates will stick to their choic
until the time comes for throwing tn
election into the House without nom
nation. In some respects this woult
be unfortunate. AS it was decided Il
90 into caucus for Senator 1t woult
be better every way tomakea n decision
We did not recognize any pressing ne
cessity for n caucus in the first place
but as it was deemed advisable to have
one, there are many vantage points
in party sense, to be made by agree
ing on nomination.
Our distinguished cotemporary o.
the Clarion, Hon. +. Barksdale, con
tinues to hold the lead in the triangu'
lar contest, and his friends cling to hin
and fight for him with the tenacity OF
regulars. He has developed more
positive strength than anybody else,
butunfortunately, not strength enough
TO nominate. The ballotings disclose
the fact that he started out with his
best foot foremost, and while he has
occasionally made slight gains he lost
them so soon afterwards as to neutral
ize the moral effect. There would
seem to be hardly any reasonable pros
pect of his nomination except the
friends of Col. Singleton abandon his
fortunes. In that case, it is known
that Barksdale is the second choice OF
several Singleton men, and would
stand good show for the nomination.
But the Singleton division is grow
ing more compact every day. They
expect the Walthall corps.to be wearied
out and come to them finally; and
this expectation seems to be rea-
sonable. The antagonism between
Walthall's and Barksdale's supporters
is supposed to. be more intense than
that between the friends of Singleton
and Barksdale. While it is thought
to be impossible for the Barksdale
and Walthall elements to coalesce,
there would be, it is alleged,
nothing to prevent the Singleton men
from going either to Barksdale or
Walthall, and in the event that Sin
pleton was drawn off the track his
would divide, and as Barks-
dale needs the fewest number of votes
to elect him, he would probably be the
successful candidate.
Walthall's friends, however, to pre-
vent result like this, would, perhaps,
be willing to go solid for Singleton,
and thus secure his nomination. The
friends of Gen. Walthall, however, are
full of hope and confidence in his final
success, believing him to be the real
choice of the Rank and File of the
Democratic party in the State
the growing, progressive, liberal ele-
ments of Conservative Democracy
and that members of the Caucus will
finally come to look at the matter in
this light and respect the public wish,
But the appearance of the clark
horse" would scatter all these specula-
ions to the winds, and we think we
nave in our minds eye the man who,
f brought out at the right time and in
5he right way, will sweep the field,
and be received with an universal ac-
claim of satisfaction from one end of
jhe State to the other.
If the election goes to the joint meet
ng of the two Houses without NOM
ton, the clark horse" stock will eX-
)erience a sudden and formidable rise.
