A Medical Experiment,

A man was paralyzed by stoke of
lightning at High water, MINI. Some
of his friends reasoned that if earth
would receive electricity from the buried
end of lightning rod, it would in the
same manner draw out the charge with
which they supposed him to be filled.
Therefore they dug hole and covered
him up to the chin. He died in that
position.

fires. Just imagine man wearing

sport suit of black underclothing, with
an oversuit of black cambria. That kind
of philanthropy is much like boiling eggs

THE SENATE met in special session on
Monday of last week. The Senators
from New York, and the successor of
Gen. Burnside from Rhode Island, were
not admitted till after the Senate was
organized. Therefor the democrats had
the majority and elected Mr.. Bayard, of
Delaware, as President Pro tenn. The
N. Y, and r. L., Senators were admitted
the next day. The two parties are now
a tie, without counting Davis and Ma
hone, both independents, and usually
Davis votes with the democrats and
Malone with the republicans.
On Thursday, by vote of SO yeas to
"a nays, Hon. David Davis was elected
President pro. tem.-thus replacing Mr..
Bayard. The committees of the senate
were, on motion, continue during the
present session.
1t would have been better if by unan-
imous consent, Mr.. Davis had been put
in that office, when the Senate organ
lied.

place

Mr.. Reynolds-"I move that the specks

Gen. Chalmers Will Take His Seat

Natchez Democrat.
The name of Hon. James r. Chalmers ha,
been placed upon the roll of the forty-seventi
Congress. He is the prima face mombel
from the sixth district of Mississippi, and
will doubtless take his seat. The contest of
the claimant, we presume, will then be
made, but under the rulings of previous
Houses, we do not see how he will support
his claim. Gen. Chalmers received a ma
iority of the votes which were cast in ac-
cordance with the election laws of the State,
and is as clearly entitled to his seat as Is
any other member of the House With the
presidents already established, there would
seem to us to be no ground upon which he
could base his contest. So far as the inter
est of the people of the district is con-
cerned, there would be no cause certainly
for change. With an active energetic and
talented member such as Chalmers, the peo-
pie of the district, both white and colored,
would certainly hope for greater benefits
than they could expect from man like
John r. Lynch, whose record has heretofore
amounted to nothing, and which would in
the future be unserviceable to the people of
the district. If the question is considered
either i'll its legal aspect, or in the light OF
expediency the continuance of Gen. Chal-
mers in his seat would be proper, and would
be profitable to both Repu blicans and Dem
OrTatS

Outrage Stor1es-AoW They Were
Manufactured.

The day of fabrlcatlng outrage stories
in the South is about over, and their
authors are confessing that their blood
curdling stories were pure inventions
having no foundation in fact, and were
designed only to fire the Northern heart
and keep up the alignment of parties
upon sectional issues The Southern
correspondent OF the New York Tribune,
has found one of the agents of this vile
business in Mississippi and he has made
clean breast Of it. We quote from
the Tribune as follows;
''In Mississippi | was told by a number
of Northern people of an account sent TO
the Northern press during the Hayes cam
naign,' which located an atrocious political
outrage Mt che place which l was then
visiting. These persons SCENE. Feootaoie,
and they all affirmed that nothing of the
kind had ever occurred there. | inquired
regarding the author of the dispatch, and
learning that he was still living a few miles
away, | went to see him. He laughed when
l told him my errand, took fresh chew of
tobacco, and crossing his feet on the top of
the table before him, began talking of the
a1alE III du easy, Hueul, lDulUeFeul stSIc,
which seemed to indicate that he was glad
to have somebody to talk with, and would
as lief talk of that subject as any other.
Then the dispatch was not really true !?
l said. 'Well,' he replied, sit was true as to
the spirit of the South generally at that
time But why did you say that such and
such things happened at particular place
if they did not4 well, now, you know it
would not be of any account to say, at such
a time, that there was lots o devilish feel
ing in the South. But it rather wakes
people up to tell them that something
been done at a place they've heard of But
it was not true But he thought the use
of fable or parable was iusti6able under
the circumstances, because it was the only
way to give point or effectiveness to any
account of the condition of the South at
that time. All writers does pretty much
the same thing, he urged they have to-
oh, hope not said We'll, now, if you
lived down here awhile you'd find cut we
have to fight the devil with fire. The
Northern people who told me of this occur
renee were good Republicans, and they
were especially indignant about the fabrica-
ton, because it alarmed some of their
Northern friends who had been preparing
to remove to that region, but were now
frightened from their purpose

Brandon Republican,


1t is with patriotic pride that we publish
the fact that one of the native sons of this
county has received distinguished honors at
the hands of a people unknown to him till
after the close of the war, and among whom
he has resided but a few short years. We
refer to the nomination of Mr.. William
buchanan, Jr., BY Democratic Convention
to represent the county of Rankin in the
next Legislature of the State of Mississippi.
This distinguished gentleman is the son of
Mr.. William Buchanan, ST., and brother to
Messrs- ]. B. and Edwin Buchanan, citizens
of this community. Ee was one of four
brothers, the Youngest l6 years old, whoen-
tered the Confederate States Army together
in 1861 Two of them were kiIIed-the Is
year old soldier, and a gallant one, Alexan-
der, receiving his death wound during the
seven days fight nc Cold Harbor in 1862
James G. was killed by sharpshooter. near
the same place in ] une 1853 William aud
John B. survived the war, and the latter re-
manned at home after returning from the
fields of conflict, while the former cast his
lot among the Mississippians, whose stand
ard-bearer he has been elected on first ballot
in a large and enthusiastic Convention
The brandon Hepubliean, published id the
town where Mr. buchanan resides, thus
eulogizes him:
