TEERIToRIAL DELEaATION.

THE WASHINGTON telegram pub
lished at the beginning of the week,
concerning rumored changes in the
United States Supreme Court, con-
tanned a suggestion that Was unpleas-
ant, namely, that Justices Hunt and
Clifford would not retire from the
bench, though both are physically,
if not mentally, incapscitsted for the
duties of their high Office. II there is
a pIaos In the United States which
should be occupied by clear-headed,
vigorous, and activs-minded man,
and one capable OF severe physical as
well az mental toll. it is that Of the
Supreme Court justice. That court
is the final resort of individuals and
communities 20 obtain their civil ard
political rights. The rights of fifty
millions of people are in the hands OF
the nine men comprising the Su-
preme tribunal. These fifty millions
Of souls would stand by the courts
opinion as against the world, though
the opinion were au error. 50 much
power being with the court, AMI lite
duties being so important, the nation
ought to be deprived Of none of the
wisdom, the learning or labor belong
ing to the tribunal. More than q year
ago Justice Huat Yas stricken by
paralysis, and has since been incspa.
bic of work, while there is little prob
ability that he will ever again be able
to sit upon the bench. The age and
service Of Justice Hunt do not entitle
him to retire upon full pay, hence
he holds on to the Office for the
money that it brings. Az he is
and can be of no manner of
benefit to the court, his duty ought
to appear plain to him, namely. to
resign that his place might be filed
by an active man. The case OF
Justice Clifford is similar to that OF
Hunt, with this exception, the former
can retire ~ s. pensiouer upon the
nation. Gladly would the country
psy both Hunt and Clifford if they
will permit their positions to be occu-
pied by others. It is no! that people
are wanting in sympathy for these
distinguished jurists in their aflic
ton, nor is anyone dissatisfied with
their services, tina: the demand is
made for them to siand aside. The
country is well pleased with both OF |
them, but now needs sons one to do
the work which they cannot do. It
has long been the desire of Clifford to
have a democratic successor, but 81
this is now impossible, the old
man will serve his party and his
country best by permitting his place
TO be filed. Justices Strong and
sWayne are both, by reason OF age. {
eligible for retirement on full pay,
and it is rumored that they will both
,tep down and out before the close of 1
Mr.. Hayes administration. 1t is
hoped the rumor will prove true.
They are just, able and honorable
wrists, and have been all the nation q
lad the right to expect them to be;
but their age interieres with their !
sbors. They are no longer physically !
EQUAL to the work, and should give q
7ay to men Who can bear the bur- E
ems that they can no longer carry. d

IT WILL be remembered that q great
deal of Indignation was recently ex-
pressed throughout the north at the
manner in which Chalmers, demo-
crat, il the Sixth Mississippi District,
was counted in snd given certifi-
cate of election TO Congress. There
is a Law in the state which says that
no ticket shsll bear a distinguishing
mark OF device, and the commission
ere, claiming that the republican
ticket did bear distinguishing mark.
threw out 2,029 of those tickets, thus
defeating Lynch, republican, and
giving Chalmers a majority of 1.014.
The Vieksburg Herald prints side

Treaty Talk.

Washington, Sit is announced thai
the second treaty drawn up by the United
States commissioners and the Pekins
government, provides that Americas
shall not import opium, carry the product
| coastwise or sell il. 1t is not known pes
itively, the full report of the treaty n,i
having been sent by cable, whether this
is true or not, but it is not disoredited.
but thought quite likely, because the
Chinese government has been long op-
posed to the importation of opium into
China. American vessels were formerly
largely engaged in the bu-iness of opium
smuggling, but very little is doae by
Americans in that business noW-G-days.
The prohibitional clause will not affect
the Americans, and il is probably insert
ed in the treaty by the Chinese as COM
peiling the British TO a similar sgree-
ment, as large proportion OF the revenue
OF British India comes from opium, ana
China is the greate-t customer for
Indian opium. If the Chinese
have granted to the United States any
| specisl privileges in the new treaty,
the British will ask to have similar privi-
leges granted them. 10 that case the
Chinese will be 10 a position to say: We
will grant you the same privileges, but
on the same conditions which the United
States have accepted. This would put the
British in q serious dilemma and force
them TO look the opium question squarely
in the face. 1t is understood the Chinese
government Is more anxi US to put stop
to the importation of opium than our
government could possibly be to restrict
Chinese immigration. Reports says our
consuls have presented these facts to the
state department so forcibly that il is said
we have willingly become the ally Of
China in encouraging a step that our
country is DESTROYS of taking toward the
amelioration Of her people.

Magnificent Excursion.

Col. U. l.. Collins, the "boss" ex-
cursionist of the United States, has Or
ganized and issued his circulars and
posters for grand excursion to st.
Louis on Sept. 9TH, 1880. Gel. Col
Inns has been themanager of the most
pleasant and princely excursions to
every city ofimportance in the United
States, and with his magnificent trains
of Joyous excursi5nists has traversed
every state in the Union, and is well
known by the travelling public as a
polite, efficient, accommodating and
reliable gentleman. His trains are
always supplied with the very best of
accommodations in every respect and
at rates so low that it is as cheap to
travel on his train as to stay at home.
He has always given special attention
to providing his party with first class
hotel accommodations at very low
rates, and those who can possibly do
so should take advantage of this oc>
casion to visit the rafting city of st.
Louis. To merchants especially this
is a rare chance to investigate st.
Louis as market and see if money
can not be made by trading with the
merchants. This train will leave
McComb City Sept. 7th, and we are
informed will pass here about 8 o'clock
p. M. on that road. Fare from Mi
Ian only $3.50 to St. Louis and re-
turn, good for twenty days. Let ev-
erybody scratch up a few dollars and
have little vacation after the seasons
hard work, and let us give the Col the
rousingest crowd that he has ever had
the pleasure to take out of Tennessee.

Personal.

DIR. Crawford is spending this week
in Milan. 1t seems that there is some
peculiar attraction here for our hand
some friend.
Messrs. f. Z Osborne, Superinten-
dent, and G. A. Pardue, route agent,
both ofthe Southern Express, we're in
Milan last Saturday and Sunday.
Alex Roulstone, the sold reliable"
drummer for Silk, Krouse d. Co.,
Cincinnati, was in town last Monday.
He has sold twelve thousand dollars
worth of goods in the last few days
and is just getting warmed up to his
work.
Gen. Weaver, the greenback candi-
date for President, spent two or three
hours here last Friday morning en-
route to st. Louis. 1t was at such an
eally hour that very few knew of his
presence before his departure, or he
would have been interviewed.
Frank Anderson, with +. NJ. Hill
& Co., and Irby Moore, with Wood
ard d Moore, both of Nashville, and
representing two A / Nashville
houses, called on US Tuesday. They
are doing a rushing business, and all
ways take heavy orders in Milan.
Our Office was honored last Monday
morning by visit of bevy of beau
tiful young ladies, who desired to
learn something of the mysteries of
the typographical art. The psrty
consisted ofthe following: Misses Ada
Claxton, Fort Valley, Ga, Sula and
Fannie Claxton, Stauntou, Tenn,
Anna Claxton, Rraden Station, Tenn,
Mrs. Lloyd. of Atlanta, Ga, and Mrs
Cain and little daughters, Of Milan.
On Tuesday we were again. conpli,
meuted by another boquet of beauties,
who visited our Office. They were
Misses Ada Lane, of Gibson Wells,
Anna and Bette Harvey, of this coun-
ty, and jesse McGaughey, of Milan.
We are having a decided streak of
good luck this week in that line.

where he is located, the young man
above alluded to should hasten to join
him.
The Wallack Tripologue Troupe
played here last Friday night to rath-
er small but appreciati7e audience.
The weather was too disagreeably
warm for the people to turn out, and
on Saturday night it was thought
there would be a storm; hence there
was no performance. The troupe is
really good one, and deserves good
houses. Fanny has a highly cultiva>
ted, full, round soprano voice, and'to
hear her sing is well worth the price
of admission. And Messrs. Wallack
and Rider are both first-rate in their
special lines. We hope they will Wis
it US again under more suspicious
circumstances.
Mr.. Hearn, the Henry county bol~
ter came here last Saturday to engage
in a joint discussion of state issues
with DR.. Jordan. He was received
at the depot as was Edwards the
Greenbacker, by reputation repub>
lican, at whose invitation he came.
Mr.. Hearn in his speech took the high
ground that the legislature had no
right to issue bonds, and consequently
none of the debt was legal. He also
said that he was not willing to leave
the question of legality to any court
on earth He evidently thinks that
the courts are honester than he is.
DR.. Jordan was in favor of an honest,
fair settlement, and made a strong ar
gument in its favor, which was well
received by theaudience. We noticed
that large part of Hearn's applause
came from small squad of Republi-
cans who were present. They claim
to be state credit men, and yet they
applaud none but reputation speak
ers in this section.

RAILWAY RACKET.

AT 6 o'clock Thursday morning
there was nearly 100 miles of passen-
ger coaches standing on the tracks of
the railroads terminating in Chicago.
The war between the l.. ~ n. and
c., st. L. & n. o. roads has closed.
and regular fare will be charged III
future. Our Pythian boysjust did save
their nickels.
A small railroad skirmish was de.
deloped here last Monday, to get the
excurting Pythians. The rate to St.
Louis and return was finally brought
down to five dollars-cheap enough.
Railroad travel is lively enough
now, going both north and South.
Low rates accounts for it; and it
does seem to us that the railroads
might take a hint from this. If their
regular rates were reduced about one
half, we believe travel would be more
than doubled.
st. Lous Republican: There is con-
siderable talk of the Louisville &
Nashville railroad building an exten~
sion of their "Green line" track from
Union City, Tenn, to Columbus, Ky.
This road, formerly known as the
Nashville & Northwestern, and at
present as the st. Louis, Nashville d
Chattanooga railroad, has paid many
thousands of dollars to the Mobile d
Ohio railroad for the privilege ofrun-
ming over the Mobile d Ohio track
from Union City to Columbus, there
by making the direct connections with
the Iron Mountain d Southern rail-
road.
The Special Excursion business on
the Great Jackson Road Gin meeting
a long felt want of the public for cheap
transportation for societies, military
organizations, fire companies pic.nlcs
and other associations( has assumed
such proportions that the general
management has determined on giving
this branch of their large and increaso
ing passenger business special atten~
ton. In pursuance of this policy Mr.
Clark, the general manager, has order
ed al outfit of special coaches for this
purpose, and there is now in process
of construction in the company's shops
at McComb City eight new coaches
specially adapted for this particular
service. The cars viii contain the la
test improvements and will be furnish
ed with cane seats, toilet accommoda-
tions, extra water supply and every
thing that will add to the comfort of
the excursionists, and meet the neces-
sites of the business for which they are
designed. The coaches will be models
of comfort and elegance and will be
credit to the road and its managers.
They will be ready for the fall travel,
and parties contemplating excursions
can secure dates and make arrange
ments with S. E. Carey, g. P. A,
who will furnish rates and all infor-
nation on application by letter to 226
st. Charles Street, New Orleans.

A Strange People.

Do you know that there are strange
people in our community? We say
strange because they seem to prefer
to suffer and pass their days miserably

General Debility, when Shiloh's Wit
alizer is guaranteed to cure them.
