The Union is troubled on hi IA about : our use

The Union is troubled about our use Oh
words. We made it say yield when the
united wisdom of that wonderful sheet had
determined ON the word "betray" After
the long series of lectures, lectures full OF
good advice, which we have been furnish
ing the Union, it seems ungratefu1 for
them to get mad about trifling thing like
this. But such is the perversity of human
nature. Thanks, however, to the informa-
ton the ARGUS furnished them with, they
have at last discovered that there is dem
ocratic majority in the Senate. They
could have found this out from the dis
patches, if they had not had that firm re-
Hence on the ARGUS, that they waited to
have it tell them. They now know that
said democratic majority exists, and have
also discovered that it is necessary to have
o President pro TEN. to swear in the newly
elected members; it even knows enough to
know that no one but the presiding officer
of the Senate can do this. All this it has
learned from the Argus. The ARGUS has
kindly furnished its pupil all this informa-
ton freely, and yet it calls US vicious.
Was there ever such ingratitude?

The New York democrats would be more
than happy if they could feel assured that
/ their coming State Convention could be
managed in the same graceful and beauti-
full manner as was the hate republican con-
vention. But unfortunately the mildest
expectation any democrat has is that the
proceedings will be spirited" This term,
| it must be remembered, is used strictly in
a New York sense. It has been observed
| that the average New York democrats
| describes the proceedings between an active
bull terrier ard score of rodents in a
Water street rat pit as spirited. ''-Des
Moines Register.
This is mistake; neither New York
democrats, or democrats generally would
be happy over any such announcement.
Democrats expect that the state conven=
ton will be more than spirited; they expect
that there win be fight, and they are look
ing forward to that fight with pleasure as a
means of laying out Tammany, Tt is not
democratic custom. when they see any
thing which needs reforming in the party
to manage it in graceful and beautiful
manner At the late republican conven-
ton in New York there were two factions,
bitterly oppressed to one another. They
had fought each other hard and strong
last winter at Albany, to be sure twas only
about a division of the spolls but on
that account the fight was the
more bitter Each faction declared
that the safety of our institutions and the
existance of free government depended
on its supremacy. This idea was SO in
tensified that one side offered brides to
members of thesother if they would only
see their plan and vote for Depew. When
the state convention met, the political sit
uation had changed. The faction which
claimed all the virtue, because it had back
of it all of the federal patronage, still had
the majority in that convention, but the
dispenser of that federal patronage was
now a member of the other faction. His
membership was certain but his future ac
tons were as yet prohlematical. Hence
''the same graceful and beautiful manner"
of the late republican convention. When
the democratic one meets there will be an
issue to settle; that issue win be- Is John
Kelly the democratic party in New York,
or is he only member of it? That issue
will have to be finally determined. and if
its determination occurs, which may be
called spirited" which might even be
called a downright fight; no democrat win
object, providing John Kelly scase Is prop |
erly settled.

habifs that be might Be-. There is a super

changes his shirt once month, but if this
is SO, he must be uncommonly unlucky in
expectorating, for it would appear to the
unprecedented observer that it would take
at least six months for an ordinary man to
get as many tobacco stains on his shirt

habitually carries. Be this as it may. Sam

story of General Belknap and Secretary

actor
'Chancing to look one day into a tailo RS

the style he's got up there in
that pictureS Well, sir, I'm sending
copy to every prominent granger in the
state of Iowa. They all knew him when
he used to sit around in his shirt sleeves
on a dry goods box at corner store, with
cow-skin boots on, an old straw hat with
no ribbon but shoe string, a cob pipe in
his mouth, and general how-de-do, devil

at that picture they'll draw all in heap.

The Chickasaw messenger. (Okolona, Miss.) 1880-1900, 1881-08-04

The recent purchaser OF the rail-
way from here to Holly Springs and
on to Selma, Mr.. Fred Wolfe, was
in New Orleans three days ago, and
be will be here o week from to-day,
TO hear the report Of those who have
recently been inspecting tie route.
The part OF Selma road now in
operation, aud which has recently
been bought BY Mr.. Wolfe, on &C
count Of the Erlanger Syndicate, is
sixty three miles long, extending
from Selma to Eutaw, Alabama.
That portion lying between here
and Holly Springs, forty Eve miles
long, is graded, aud though badly
washed by long disuse, can be made
ready for the ties In a few months,
and At no very heavy outlay Cap
tains Wexford and Fontai e, who
arrived at Aberdeen, Mississippi,
yesterday, after riding over the
course from this city, report that
the people owning property along
the way will not place any obstacle
IN the way Of building and operating
the route through their lands. The
inspectors are practical railway men,
and they report themselves delighted
with the country.
The work OF building and operat-
ing The read from here to Holly
Springs can be accomplished inside
OF six months. The line between
Holly Springs and Okolona, 673
miles, is broken and billy, but the
expense Of construction will not be
heavy. No work has yet been done
on this part Of the route Between
Okolona and Aberdeen, is miles, the
grading is complete and ready for
The iron. The people Of Aberdeen
met the tRo inspectors yesterday,
and new life and vigor was impaired
to the feelings OF the citizens at the
prospect of the railway enterprise
being renewed. Captains Fontaine
and Welford left there yesterday for
Columbus, and expressed the opinion
that the work OF building will be
commenced OF an early day, and
pushed vigorously to completion
After this part is built it will be ex-
tended on through the Tusoaloosa
coal fields to Eutaw.
The Erlanger Syndicate have de-
clded to relay the Yleksburg and
Meridian road with steel rails, When
their new routes are complete be-
tween Shreveport and Monroe, %
miles, and tom hefe to Selma, the
Syndicate will have . through line
from Shreveport to Brunswick, &C.,
and also from Memphis TO Bruins
wick. These, with other lines pro-
posed, are expected TO prove proti'a-
hle as an investment al a very early
day.--Memphis ledger.
