The ALBANY FIGHT.


contest at Albany terminated yeeser-
day in the election of Eloridge q.
Laphsm to the unexpired term IN
the United States Senate lately sur
rendered by Roscoe Conkling. The
vacancy occasioned by Thomas @.
Platt's resignation was, as our read
ers are aware, filed some days ago by
the selection Of Warner Miller. The
result OF this fight proves that Conk-
ling made two mistakes. One was
in resigning his seat 10 the Senate,
and the second was in becoming a
candidate for reelection. At fret it
was hard to believe that a man of
Conkling's brain, ability and train
ing could be guilty of so grave a
blupder ss tbia has turned out to be,
but it seems that nc matter how
"big" a man may be, ne is liable to
err. The senator should not have
resigned unless his reelection was
certain. He may have deemed it
safe, but if so the outcome proves
that he was mistaken in counting
without bis host. The fight that be
has made, inasmuch as it has been
attended by his overwhelming de-
feat, cannot be regarded otherwise
than as ipjuriously and griegously
humiliatipg to him personally and
politically. His pride must be- pain
fully BUNDLED, while the blow, in a
political Uense, must be crushing. 1t
ia the first time that AIR. Conklipg
has forgotten his dignity long
enough to get down in the gutter.
On the other hand has the great state
OF New York gained anything from
this AFFAIR." If Conkling has been sat
down upon New York, it seems to US,
can feel little pride in the result OF
the squabble. The change is by no
means one of which a citizen of the
state can feel proud. It is
true that Platt was what might be
termed, slsngily, ligh: weight, yet
he could hardly be SO light as his
successor. But Conkling is an in
sellectusl giant. He is a statesman
who has no superiors and few equals
On earth. Men OF sll parties &C.
knowledge him TO be one OF the most
and remarkable men the
world MAS produced. Stslwsrt and
radical as be was, New York felt that

The advertisement of Mr.. GEORGE
RoUssEL, announcing the opening of the
Great Bazar," on Thursday the 2sth,
will attract the attention of our readers
this morning. He is receiving and
opening magnificent stock of Fancy
Goods, Notions, Jewelry, Hosiery, and
a thousand and one useful, ornamental
and attractive articles in other lines, and
invites the public to call and make an
inspection of his goods. His 5, 10, %,

constitute q novel feature of the new
en- terprise, and afford an opportu

tions and purchase the goods at his own
price. The stock will be opened in the
building adjoining the drug store OF
Mr.. G. W. Elkin, which has just been
thoroughly repaired, Reconstructed

The Trustees of the City Free Schools
have found it necessary to discontinue
the schools after Friday, the goth, owing
to the lack of funds for paying their
expenses. The teachers, however, in
this excellent educational establishment,
so far as the white school. is concerned,
have determined that the school rooms
shall not be closed until the entire nine
months term shall have been finished,
and in this issue publish cards to that
effect, announcing terms upon which
they will conduct it until the end of
the session. 1t is very unfortunate
that the Trustees are forced to sus-
pension, and the patrons should avail
themselves Of the willingness of the
teachers to conduct the school, without
abatement, during the remaining two
months.

We had the pleasure on Tuesday,
of inspecting one of the neatest and
most accurately drawn reports that
was ever submitted by publicoficer
to the Grand Jury, as record Of
his official conduct. It was the re-
port Of Mayor W. E. Love, ex>oficio
Justice of the Peace, to the Grand
Jury now in session, and embraced
ffty-nine Estate cases" from which
q revenue of oNe hundred and eighty
dollars and fifty-one cents was de-
rived and turned over, not including
several fines yet due and to be paid
by parties hiring the convicts. OF
the violators of law that have been
brought before him, seven have been
hired to Major E. G, Gordon for
railroad work.
The law for the prevention of
cruelty to animals is rigidly en-
forced by Mayor Love whenever such
cases come up in his court, and sew.
eral fines for that offense were en-
braced in his report.

CIRCUIT COURT.

The April Term of the Monroe
county Circuit Court, convened on
Monday morning, the 25th. His
Honor, Judge ]. A. Greene, presid--
ing, and General ]. L. Finley, the
States vigilant Attorney, present for
the prosecution of all who may ap-
pear at the bar of justice for offense
against the peace and dignity of the
State of Mississippi" etc.
The Grand Jury,of which Mr. RIB.
Brannin is Foreman, is one Of
the most intelligent bodies thai has
served in that capacity for many
years, and all the members were
present except two, who sent certif-
Gates of sickness, and only five of the
two petit juries summoned failed to
respond when Sheriff E. L. Sykes
called the jury roll. We hardly know
whether to attribute this punctuality
of jurymen to the excellent discipline
established by Judge Greene, or to a
patriotic desire on the part of our
people to promptly and faithfully
discharge duties of public nature
when imposed upon them, but in
either contingency the result is the
same. and the court was organized |
and ready to proceed with business
in remarkably quick time.
The charge to the Grand Jury
was an able document and was deliv>
cred in Judge Greenes usual forci-
bic and lucid language. Every crime
known to the law, and penalties for
were clearly recited to the
grand inquest, several, including the
vicious practice of carrying conceal
ed weapons, being dewitt upon with
special force and emphasis.
The Court was largely attended by
people from the country, as we'll as
from neighboring counties, and if
this fact affords any criterion the
present term will be mort interest
ng one.

The great trouble with the majority Of
people is they take too much medicine.
Many diseases arise from the same
cause-bad blood, for instance. What
will cleanse the blood, or redress a dis
ordered system, will remedy any Of the
diseases arising therefrom. This the
Seven Springs Iron and Alum Mass will
do, being nade from pure Virginia

use one good reliable remedy like this,
and it will be worth thousand sud one

for it. Physicians everywhere, who
have tested it, recommend its many
virtues.

COUNTY CORRESPONDENCE E.

CENTRAL GROVE.
April 20, 1881.
MEssRs ED1ToRs-There is nothing
perhaps more interesting to an editor
than to get direct news from differ
ent parts of the country. The situa>
ton of affairs in this immediate
locality has been very gloomy tho
farmers lost much of their cotton.
Some tried the plan of picking off
the bolls, and saving it that way but
that was quite an undertaking. Many
lost their potatoes, and not even
turnip was saved. but that will not
prevent us from trying again. l
believe Old King Cotton has reigned
long enough in this country, and if
every farmer would plant more corn
and less cotton I would feel assured
that they would get out of debt
Every man that could start a pillow
went for large cotton crop last
year, and we know the result. just
to think now that they will try the
same thing againl Do make an ap-
peal to them to stop planting SO
much cotton and turn their attention
to raising more corn. /, for one, will
do my best ia trying to inplant this
idea. Raise hogs, make plenty Of
corn, potatoes, peas, turnips, gou.
bers, and let cotton alone and we
will get out of debt The farmers
in this beat are moving their plows
in hurry. Mr.. j. M. Buchanan
has very rich farm on Town Greek
bottom; he also owns store well
filed with merchandise of every kind; |
another store near us is owned by
Mr.. j. III. Lawrence, so you see we
are not at loss for place to trade. |
My neighbors all join me theoretical
ly in trying to put cotton down, but
still they keep on planting more. l
have been taking your valuable paper
for some time; l receive it from the
office at Central Grove every Saturs
day evening and hail its coming as
| would that of an old friend. /
think if every poor farmer who wants
10 get clear of debt would read this
carefully and act accordingly he
would not be 80 involved in the
future. If this meets with your
appreciation I would be glad to see
t in print. I know that farms
ng is the noblest of pursuits, but it
will not do to plant SO much cotton,
md il you think I am wrong in what
have said in regard to cotton, 1
will not discuss the matter in future.
l remain as ever your well wisher,
out still against cotton.
