CONGRESSIONAL SPECULATIONS
FOR THE FIFTH DISTRICT.

Amite county has instructed for Col.
Il. II. Stockdale.
Rankin county and Lawrence coun-
ty are in favor of Hon. A. J. McLaurin.
Kinds county instructs her eight
delegates to vote for Col. Hooker.
Copiah county does not instruct,
but is supposed to be divided between
Thompson, Bob Miller and Hooker.
Lincoln county has split, one
faction for Sessions and the other for
Thompson. -
franklin county instructs for Hon.
J. f. Sessions.
Pike county, not instructed, but
supposed to favor the nomination of
Hon II. S. Ford.
Marion and Covington have taken
no action that we have heard of, but
if Ford is a candidate Marion may be
given to him without a contest, and
Covington may divide between Ford
and McLaurin.
The coast counties are probably
favorable to Hooker if Ford does not
enter the field, and in that case there
may be division.
Altogether Hooker seems to be the
strongest horse, and in the absence of
Il consolidation of the opposition teams
will be likely to get the nomination.

GRANT--THIRD TERM--EMPIRE A
DEFUNcT TRINITY.

AS strange as it may seem there are
patriotic and good men in this country
who have drifted into the idea that
Grant, if elected President, would pan
out into pacificator. They appear
to forget the great historical fact that
the Devil once made proposition to
the Saviour to harmonic the conflict
ing interests between them, but the
sly old rascal's terms were properly
declined, because, 1st he was not the
sort of man to be enthroned, and, End,
he didn't have the ability to carry out
his promise. The accumulated evil
dences of the ages, since that attempt
ed negotiation, have proved the Devil
to be humbug, blatherskite and
fraud-and the accumulated evidences
of the last fifteen years prove Grant
to be as unreliable as the Devil. If
we are compelled to make a choice
between Grant, the Devil and Gar
field we can at present detect a slight
leaning to the latter gentleman,
though candor compels us to say that
It is exceedingly sight.

dash them all aside by entering into 6
fierce and ignominious scramble for a
party nomination.
He thought he would be greater
than Washington, and there were not
wanting fools who thought they could
make him greater than Washington.
But oh, shades of Washington! that
such character should be named in
the same connection!
1t is fitting, however, that Grant
Should be repudiated by the only party
that ever prostituted itself before him.
1t is hopeful omen to the country
that it has no party able to tolerate
him. 1t was fortunate that he scram-
bled for this nomination 70 the last
moment, and was, at last overwhelm-
ed by one of his own inferior dogs, by
man he would scarcely have allowed
to sit on his door-steps. 1t is in ac-
cordance with the inexorability of the
law of poetic justice that he should
finally go down in the house of his
friends, and ut the hands of the shah
best among them.
We did hope that Grant would get
the nomination at Chicago, because
we felt confident that he would be the
easiest man to defeat; but it probably
best that his own party should put
him away with the seal of their con-
demnation, and thus prove TO the
country and the world that no con-
siderable portion of the American
people believe in Grant or Grantism.

Mr.. BAYARD can undoubtedly carry
every Southern State. And if the
Democratic party, under any circum-
stances, and with any possible nom-
inees, can carry New York, New Jer-
sey and Connecticut, then Mr.. Bayard
will secure us the electoral votes of
those States.
Are Mr.. Bayard's financial views
Objectionable If so, is it supposed
by any intelligent people that soft
money Democrat would stand in any
sort of danger of being struck by
Presidential lightning?
Why, the st. Louis Convention of
1876 sat down emphatically,on Mr..
Tom. Ewing and his financial theories
-so-called. Mr.. Tilden was hard
money! man in 1876, and has not chang
ed i'm any degree since.
Moreover, it is perfectly evident
there is no such issue in this canvass
and that both the Republican and
Democratic parties occupy substan-
TALLY the same ground ON the SUBJ
ject. 1t is a past issue. The Repub
iican platform says nothing about it
and we had best not open that ques-
ton.

to be doubtful, Mr.. Mcdonald can

Gen. e. G, Walthall promptly and

Editors Memphis Appeals
To-day's Appeal attributes to me state
ment which never made, touching the
preference of the Mississippi delegation
and the sentiment of the people of the
State in the Presidential contest.
You We're probably misled by dispatches
which lately appeared in several Northern
papers announcing that made such a
statement in Washington ON the 2Sth ult.,
whereas L have not been in Washington

from Mississippi will determine how they

1t is proper to say that no element"
of the Democracy of Mississippi claims
any victory in the last harmonious
State Convention. The delegation to
Cincinnati, the Presidential electors,
the Executive Committee elected, and
the resolutions adopted, taken singly
or as whole, all pan out as the work
of men of intelligence and patriotism
who refused to lend themselves to any
scheme which would tend to dwarf
the great purpose of all into any pri-
vate or petty contest for personal pref
erence or individual glory. Every
delegate to Cincinnati has caught the
spirit of that Convention, and each
one of them will be true to it, and

MR.. aARF1ELD,-H1s BIOGRAPHY.

|
Born 1881 in Ohio; 40 years old.
Graduated in 1855, and became the
President Of debating society.
Studied law and theology. Succeeded
very well as preacher for a while,
until he took to politics; then he lost
his religion. Was elected to the Ohio
Senate in lS59-60. Went into the war
in '6l, and secured a bomb-proof posi-
ton on the staff of the Army of the
Cumberland. Got into the 39th Con-
gress. Stuck there, and made lots of
money out of it. Is rich man now,
like all the rest of the big Republicans.
Made a profitable operation in the
stock of the Credit Mobilier. Went
in also on the Salary Grab. Utilized
the tariff question. Got S., 900 out of
the DeGollyer pavement contract. At
once the smartest and most elastic
member the Republicans have in the
House. Was elected to the United
States Senate last January by the
Ohio Legislature, and his senatorial
term begins on the same day the
Democratic President is to be inaugu-
rated. A singular coincidence. And
that's all there is about Garfield.

SUPREME COURT DECISIONS.

APRIL TERN, 1850.

AMOS WOODRUFF
| Ar VS..
Town OF OKoLoNA.
Error to the Circuit of I'd District,
Chickasaw county, Hon. j. A. Green
Judge.
An Act of the Legislature authorized the
town of Okolona to issue bonds i'll ala OF
the Grenada, Houston and Eastern kail-
road Company, and provided that they
should be made payable ut time "hot TO
extend beyond ten years from the uate Oh
issuance.
The bonds were issued, but made paya-
BILE twenty years from the date OF their
issuance.
Plaintiff in error, holding some oil s'id
bonds, brought suit on certain coupons
attached thereto for the interest que ana
unpaid.
The only question presented is as to the
validity of the bonds on account OF inc
time of payment being different from that
prescribed III the act.
A demurrer to the declaration was sus-
tanned, from which the plaintiff prosecutes
Il writ of error
Lamar, Mays ~ Branham for plaintill IN
error.
Houston ~ Reynolds and Buchanan
Houston for defendant in error.
CAMPBELL, j.,
Held
1. The effect of sections and of the
act authorizing bonds to be issued by the
town of Okolona was to limit the time when
the bonds should be made payable to
neriod not to exceed ten years, and bonds
made payable twenty years after the uate
of their issuance were unauthriZed, illegal
and void, for want of authority TO issue
them. I t.
.. ANY person dealing in such bonds Is
bound to look to the public statute OF the
State which cOnfers power to issue them,
and is chargeable with notice OF any want
of power to issue the very bonds issued,
Notwithstanding they recite on their lace
that they were issued in conformity 10 tne
statute.
8. AS to matters of fact, constituting the
conditions for the exercise of power con-
ferred to issue bonds, purchasers might
RELY on the recitals of the bonds, but as to
the terms of the act comforting the power
they were bound to look to the act itseli, ana
not to any misrepresentation OF mlslnter-
probation of it contained i'll the recltals OF
the bonds. They are to be read as IL the
act authorizing their issuance was en-
bodied in them, and any material variance
from the act makes them void.
Judgment affirmed.
