WE regret to learn from reliable
information that the Board of Su.
pervisors of Pdnola county have
recently been guilty Of an act that
savOrs of partiality if not of positive
injustice. The contract for the
building of the new Jail and court
house at Batesville, was awarded
to Mess. Gillon & Co., contractors
at GIG, 400, sum nine hundred doI-
lars i'm excess of the bid of Mess.
Packer and Olsen. Mr.. Packer
went before tho Board and asked
Why the contract was gwen to the
higher bidders, and was told that
his bid should have been accompa-
MED by bond. Az no bond was
mentioned in the advertisement, Of
coarse none was proffered with the
bid. PACKER & Olsen would not
have know n whether to have eot>
ten up a bond for $4,000, OF &16,
was said about il in tt
The law is plain
as to these letting of contracts, and
should not be violated.

GEN. GRANT will go down to pos
rity as the Great American Fail
ure. Two weeks ago he was the
most illustrious man on earth. His
tory contained not the record of a
m IN who had been shown such uni'
vprsal honors. Fresh from a tour
of the whole world, during the pros
gress of which, the crowned heads
of all civilized nations had bowed
to do him reverence, he demanded
what no man will ever get-a third
term as President of the United
States. Yesterday possessed of a
f.me beyond that ever enjoyed by
a. hero living or dead, to day he il
disappointed candidate for an
honor asked of his own political
household. Who does not pity
Grant?

The Meridian Mercury opposes
the re- election of Col. Singleton, on
the ground that he has represented
his district in Congress long enough.
The people do not think SO. He
has ever served US faithfully and
with ability. During all the long
years he has been in Congress he
has been always found at his post
true to his t1ust, and alive to the
greatest or smallest interests of his
constituents. Can the Mercury put
its hand upon single act of Sing
leton's by which his constituents
have suffered No. In the face of
this shall we take up ano.ber man
and place him in the office Col.
Singleton asks at the hands of the
sovrreigns of his district! Is there
member of the House whose loss
to the party in this eventful year
would be more keeuly felt than that
Of Col. Singleton.
We fully accord the Mercury its
right to prefer another aspirant to
our veteran Representative-he
who has grown old in the service
OF his people-but let not the NJ r.
curry 20 out of it's way in preferring
the claims of its favorite, nor use
undignified terms against gentle-
man whose constituents know him
as the soul VI diguity, truth and
honor.

A GIRLS LOVE SONG.

1t was an April morning
When my true iove went out;
The wind had never q warning,
The sky had never a doubt.
Fair and fugitive lustres
Fitted DER thought and speech;
Hopes were hanging in clusters,
A little out Of reach.
He wandered, he and no other,
Down by the little white brook;
The stones sang one to another,
"a king is coming! Look"
The brook said, cooling and creeping,
Peep, and you shall see"
Through the leaves he went peeping,
And there he saw-me.
Saw me, took me, crowned me,
There as stood in my shame;
knew that he had found me
Before knew his name,
/ went as was fated,
Faint with fear and surprise;
A week and day waited
Before saw his eyes.
1 had never whisper
For all the words he said;
But the br ook was pleasant lisper,
talked to him instead,
Brook, yeu tc Id my emotion,
Hearing him plight his vow;
Brook, you have not notion
What feel for him now.

GARFIELD'S TROUBLES.
A Weak Nomination.

The accredited Chicago correspond
ent Of the Philadelphia Times, just
after the smoke of battle was over,
gave that paper an unbiased view of
the case of Garfield, and we subjoin
the conclusion:
Ishafe the general convict II of most
of the delegates who made the nomi-
ton of Garfield, that he is not likely
to prove strong candidate. He has
been gallant soldier. He has filled a
high measure of civil trust. He has
risen to the leadership of the House.
He is able III disputatiOn and is justly
esteemed as patriotic but few would
single him out as a great administra-
tor, and he follows too closely in the
footsteps of Hayes to awaken either
popular enthusiasm or command in
telligent trust. He would not be the
type of Executive that the humiliating
experience of the last nearly four
years has impressed upon the positive
Republican leaders as an imperative
necessity. 1t was the pitiable weak
ness of Hayes that made it possible to
anchor over three hundred votes in
the convention in favor of Grant, with
all the blemish Of his administration,
and while the party will accept Gar
field with mechanical unity the des-
perate courage and unscIupulous
strategy which made Hayes President
will not be repeated for Garfield by
the only men who could repeat it.
The nomination makes every South
ern State Democratic, makes Ohio
doubtful, makes New York and New
Jersey hardly debatable for the Re
publicans, and makes Indiana, Cali
fornia, Oregon and even Pennsylva-
mia depend upon the verdict Of Ohio
in October. If Garfield's own State
shall be lost i'll the preliminary Oc-
tober, the ensuing contest Will lie
ended and his defeat overwhelming
while if he shall carry it by a reduced
majority, as is inevitable against a
strong Democratic ticket, his election
will then be no more than possible.
He will be assailed in his own State
and by his political friends with un-
common bitterness and his integrity
will be as positively questioned as the
defamers of Blaine have questioned
the purity OF Ills publlC lCOpAbs AiS
own constituents and party associates
have made this public by standing
out as his accusers. That he does not
deserve thus to be assailed any more /
than does Blaine do not doubt, and |
the independent press of the country |
will be faithful in his defense against
all defamatOry assaults. But they
have weakened him in the popular
vote.
He will be compelled to wade
a violent flood Of partisan
bitterness from now until the melan-
chOly days of November, Of which he
spoke in nominating Sherman, shali
come to deliver him from the angry
waves Of the political strife, and as II
il was predetermined that he should
be overweighted in the race, the NOM
ination of Arthur for Nice-President |
was loaded upon him TO make the bat
tie for the controlling State Of New
York a hopeless one. IL is possible |
for Democratic folly to elect the Gar
field ticket. Its election will be I'm
possible if craftsmanship and patriot
ism shall be among the conspicuous
attributes of the Democratic candi-
dates. A IA W.

his utterancc was somewhat difficult,
owing to his speaking in strange

JUDGE ALCoRN AND GENERAL
GARFIELD.

Since the nomination of Gen. Gar
field for President, our friend Judge
Alcorn, has been compelled to 90 back
to the record to prove that he was
favorable to that arrangement from
The start. 1t is true that for n
brief period he was slightly stunned
with the Grant boom, and fell in with
the army that marched to Waterloo.
BUT this was only a spasmodic effer-
Vescence indulged for the time as n
tribute to the military hero, whose
star appeared then to be ascending
Ii the great Republican party chose
to give Gen. Grant third term. if
was not in the heart of Judge Alcorn
TO oppose the movement. His iudg-
ment, however was against the third
term, and he thought his friend, Gen
eral Grant, had been honored enough.
and occupied a good position to retire
on; but if Grant wanted to be Presi-
dent again and the people all wanted
him, the Judge was too good a patriot
TO step in and prevent it, merely be-
cause he had an original personal
preference for Garfield. But to prove
that Judge Alcorn was all original
and pronounced Garfield man, we re-
produce below, an extract from a
leader of his in the first issue of the
Republican, then edited by Judge
Alcorn. 1t may be prop to add, in
order to give to the country the exact
position of Judge Alcorn on the Re-
publican Presidential nomination, that
he declared in this same leader that
he stood prepared to support the nom
lnee whoever he might be-that in
his editorial conduct of the Republl-
can organ Of Mississippi he would
ook to measures mainly and not to
men. We make this publication in
jhe interest of truth, as a matter of
ustice to the Judge, and to quiet any
which may exist in the
mind of General Garfield that he has
o go into this canvass with the oppo-
ition of Judge Alcorn:

publican, Vol. l, No i December 9th, 1879.
General Garfield has not been so fire.
uently named in connection with the =,
Residential nomination us the others !
whose names we have mentioned, but there
re few men deserving better of the coun- c
ry than he. That he is u leader on the l
epubican side in the House of Represen- C
,tives all admit. That he is more than a
latch for the combined eloquence of the fl
onfederate brigadiers was witnessed and y
in the extra session of Con- U
ress last summer, when the attempt was o
ade by the Democracy of the two houses II
) starve the Government to death. The il
rinciples upon which this government n
as founded, were never more ably
scussed than by Garfield on the oc-
lsion to which we have referred And
l the hustings he seems to exhaust every
Inject he treats of, and leaves not foot
ground for the opposition to stand upon.
G contributed largely to the Republican
iumph in the last election in Ohio, and n
'serves well of the people every where. "
