Machine Politicians.

Our friend r. II. Henry, ESD, of the
Brochhaven LEDGER, recalls n fact we
we'll remember, that he was a member
of the Meridian convention in 1873. and
warmly favored placing a full Demo
cratic ticket IN the field. He was so
much Disguised with the ~non-action
policy Of the majority, that he attended
the minority meeting, after the adjourn
ruent Of the convention, and bis disgust
continued until the election, when he
not only refused to vote Tor either Al
corn or Ames, but cast his ballot for
that noble old Roman, Gen. Ben Il.
Humphreys. Henry favors a full ticket
this year, aud so do we, if we can get
the right sort of one eliminated from
the machine politicians Itch'%bUrg
Commercial.
The Commercial ought to explain
what it means by "machine politi-
Clans A few days since it said
Gov. Stone would have occupied the
office of Governor six Yeas, longer
than any of his predecessors, and
ought to be willing to vacate; and
that it was in favor of u ''alw deal
all round There is considerable
force in the Commercials article
that the spirit of Democracy means
rotation in office. There are means
people who will endorse the Com
mcrcials idea of Il "clran sweep and
new deal" not that they arc oppos-
ed TO any of the State officers, but
that they desire a change; yet few
will follow it in its advocacy of the
election OF any gentleman outside
of the nomination. The LEDGER
does not wish to be understood as
advocating u "new deal all round"
1t would be delighted to see some
of the present officers rcnominated.
The world will not come to an end
in 1881, notwithstanding the opin-
ion of Mother Shipton to the contra
~, and those outside the party
machine will vet have an opportu-
nifty to possess offices Shat they
have, pcrchancc, long yearned for.

Ayaunt, Ye Slanderer.

That miserable Republican sheet,
the GI0bc-DcmOcrat, which was
never known to utter q syllable OF
truth since its establishment, has
published a mean, dirty and con
temptible attack on Hon. G.. f..
Hooker, the worthy Representative
OF this District in Congress. TO
our surprise, the article was copied
in a paper of this State, outside of
this district, but which has for
some time, taken great interest in
Col. Rockers affairs. 1t will prove
interesting reading for the enemies
of II gallant Representative, but
will have no effect in d~HthIuging
him in the hearts and esteem VI his
people, who admire him for his
God-given talents and heroic chiy-
airy. They Wilt believe nothing
written and published against him
by such creatures as preside over
that blot of journalism, yclept the

Let him who is guiltlcss, cast the

Au $50 Lesson.

One day last week Il young man
rom Wesson, whose name is with
held, went to New Orle:1 rs. While
there he formed the acquaintance of
a sharper who relieved him of $50.
The sharper needed $50 bad, was in
"a tight, did not have time to 90 to
the bank, and told the Wessonian if
he would let him have the money
he would give him a check for it on
a New Orleans bank. The young
man liked to be accommodating, and
cashed the check. y hen he present
ed it to the bank he was informed
that it was worthless. lie then laid
the case before the chief of police,
but the thief could not be found. 1t
was an expensive but good lesson to
the young man. He will know bet
ter next time than to cash bogus
checks for strangers.
There is, perhaps, no city of it's
size in the United States that con
tains more thieves to the square
yard than New Orleans. They live
by rohbing greenies from the coun-
try. Young men visiting New Or
leans, If they desire to escape the
thieves, should form no acquaintan-
ces on the streets, or on the cars;
loan money to no one, invest in no
lottery enterprise, cash no checks,
drink with no strangers.

Bruce and the Cabinet.

The Washington Post has inter
viewed the Mississippi congressman
and ascertained their views regard
ing the improbahility of Senator
Bruce's appointment to a Cabinet
position. They humored the joke,
for it can be nothing else.
Senator Lamar believed that the
selection of Bruce for Il cabinet DO
siLion would give as much satisiac-
ton to the Southern people as the
selection Of any white Republican in
the Southern States.
Chalmer said Bruce in the cabi-
net would be as satisfactory to the
people Of Mississippi as the scIcc-
ton of any Southern white fepuhIi
can for such an honor. The other
Representatives from thus State ex-
pressed..similar views, except Hook
er, who had nothing to say, and
Naming was absent.
Many colorcd men have called on
Garfield recently, and have dcman-
dcd that he appoint one of their
ace in his Cabinet, but they are not
generally favorable to Bruce. They
will get nothing from Garfield.

A New Cotton Picker.


Mr.. S. X. Cockrcll, OF Pine Blutl,
Arkansas, has invented a cotton
picker. He describes the machine
and the manner of working it as
follows:
No. l.. The cotton stalks are pulled
up in October and November, when the
cotton is open, and hauled out to a
proper building OR shed.
No. 2. The clippers are used to cut
off the limbs, and then cut of the
boils. ,
No. 3. This machine is a ''huli
separator" and takes the cotton from
the bolls.
No. 4. This machine takes out all
the leaf, dust, trash, and sends 1T to
the gin clean.
You have there stalks every one that
grows on the land. You havo the limbs
with the bolls cut off. The stalks and
limbs are then ready to go to the vat,
to DO made ready to have the lnte taken
off.
The bolIs are also ready to go to the
PAPER mill. The seed cotton is clean
goes to the gin. or. which is preferable,
to the Clement attachment cotton mill,
to be spun into yarn, worth 800 Il
bale.

Stricken Dead.

Alphonsc Montamat was struck
dead at 4 party, ut his own honsc,
in New Orleans, Sunday morning,
about three O'Clock, while singing
Il sacrcligions song, entitled the
Golden slippers.' People cannot
always trample upon the laws OF
God sand man without being pun
ished for it, The P!cayune thus
refers to the melancholy event:
It was about forty minutes after 2
o'clock in the morning Of Sunday. The
I,ancers has been dulced, when some
one proposed a song. Montamat had a
good voice. and was pressed to display
hie accomplishment. Mrs. Kent seated
herself at the piano to accompany the
manly voice, and Montamat selected
the song which of all others seemed
appropriate to the fate that overlook
him. A sad Sunday it was for that
family, The sudden transition from
the height of unalloyed pleasure to the
depths of gloom and dependency was
almost more than they could bear.

THE one day in which the fund
ing bill was to be disposed of has
swelled to more than week, and
still at this time the House has the
measure under consideration. Mr..
Randall has virtual charge of the
bill, and has succeeded in keeping
the discussion upon practical points.
Wednesday was given as the day
when a final vote will be taken. The
House will not, probably, consent
to a higher rate OF interest than
three per cent, or to a long time
bond, nor will it, from present ap-
pearances, give the Secretary any
discretion whatever as to the rate OF
interest.
