Danger Of the Coalition.

1t is a matter of surprise that such
little interest seems to be felt
throughout the country in the Sen
atorial deadlock. We are assured
that in Washington the contest in
the Senate is considered as more i'm
portant than any other for the last
three wears. Since the Democratic
fight to prevent the interference of
United States soldiers in State cleo
tions, Democratic Senators were
never so thoroughly in accord on
any other subject. Their belief is
that the rights of intelligent people
in the South are in danger, and that
negro and carpetbag governments
are sought to be revived in this &c
ton, through a corrupt bargain with
an unworthy Senator and q faction
of the Republican party. Believing
this, every Democratic Senator feels
the occasion to be a most important
one. If the Malone Republican CO.
alition should succeed, the next Con-
gress, Republican in both branches,
will mark out a course for the Re~
publican party which will hardly
leave the South in as good condition
as when the carpetbaggers and mes
groes had full sway from Texas to
South Carolina.

Death Of Lord Beac0nsfeld.

Lord Beaconsfield, late premier of
England, died in London, on the
10Th inst, at half past five O'Clock.
His name was Benjamin Disraeli,
the title having been given him by
the Queen, in recognition of his
splendid abilities. He was a son OF
Jewish parents, but renounced that
faith after entering politics. He has
written a number of great works,
his last being Endymion, a history OF
his own life. Snnc years ago Dis
raeli's party defeated that led by
Gladstone, and he WAS made premier
ia place of Gladstone. A year ago
Gladstone's party vas again trium-
plant and he was made premier and
D~israeli relegated to private life.
He was one of the greatest men OF
the nineteenth century, and had, as
much as any man, shaped the
destiny cfEagland. His opponent,
Gladstone, said he was the greatest
Englishman Of his time.

Tuckay lsltiIJ Penalty.

Hunters in Simpson county don't
regard the game law, which makes
it an offense to kill turkeys between
April 1st and October 1st. 4 Mr..
Walker and another gentleman were
hunting turkeys, not far from West
vile, On the same morning. The
News says a turkey flew down near
Mr.. Walker. He saw the other man
trying to shoot it and motioned him
to stop. 1t being too dark eto see
we'll, and thinking MI. Walkers arm
was a turkey moving about, the 9th
er gentleman fired at it, three buck
shot taking effect in MI. Walkers
arm, and about the same number OF
small shot hit him in the face.

AEaithMlDOV,

While in Beauregard. a few days ago,
our attention was called to a Newfonnd.
land dog, formerly owned by Mr.. N. ].
Hooker, diseased, of that place. We
were told that during his lifetime, when
Mrs. Hooker desired the presence oil
her husband, she made the fact known
to Bob, the dog, who would go:in search
of his master, and would not cease his
Efforts until he found him. and wonld
catch hold of his garment and persist in
milling till Mr.. Hooker would follow
him or give him q note to take to Mrs.
Hooker. When Mr.. Hooker oied, his
body could not be placed in the coffin
until the dog had been confined, and al
his burial he stood near the edge of the
grave, and seemed grieved to see his
master was being put out of his sight.
But what is more remarkable, it is said
by persons who have witnessed it. that
this dog visits Mr.. Hooker's grave, reg
ularly, twice q day-at sunrise and at
sunset. He has been seen lying on
the grave. Since his masters death,
Bob refuses to %reciprocate the friendli>
ness of any male person. Mrs. Hook
err can influence him nor than anyone
else, though he is not as faithful to her
as he was to her husband. 1t is hard
" surprising that Byron regarded his
dog as his oily friend. = WestUtue

Caraeld Getting impatient.

WASHINGTON, April lit is ru-
mored that the President will send a
special message to the Senate in a few
days, urging the necessity of some con.
hrmations. 1t is said that he will base
his request upon the fact that Indian
agents terms Of Office are expiring, and
there are which hinder the
proper disbursement of supplies and
bouuties. The President will urge the
necessity of the government keeping
its obligations with the Indians as the
only sure means of preserving peace.
Should dissatisfaction spread among
them, il is feared that some OF the
newer arrivals in the Indian Territory
and reservations may attempt to break
away, which would entail the perpetra>
ton of outrages upon the settlers and
another war, possibly, to bring them
into subsection again.
1t has been known for some time
that embarrassments from the nor
confirmation of nominations were weigh
ing upon the Presidents mind, and
while he has felt an indisposition to
offer advice to senators as tie conduct
of the fight, he has regretted the fail
ure to hold u few executive sessions.
He has said to several who have asked
an expression of opinion that he real-
lied the importance of protecting the
new liberal movement in the South and
would do all in his power to aid it, but
at the same time he thinks that some
combinations should be made for the
good of theirubiic service.

Carver pale into utter insignidcance
when compared to him. His name
is Elijah Wall, and he is as black as
a winters night. He gave a feat
of his craftsmanship lea the town
OF Plaquemines, La, last week. He
selected as his target eight living
beings of his own color. Wall had a
difficulty with Cabe Austin. Austin
had driven Wall from his camp and
threatened to annihilate him if he
again crossed his threshold. Wall
departed. obtained a shot gun,
quietly seated himself on the banks
Of a bayou to await the appearance
of the skiff containing Austin and
his friends. He had not long to
wait. The skiff was soon sighted
and a bead drawn on it. 1t con-
tanned eight persons. Austin was
sitting in the bow between two
others, two in the centre and three
in the stern. When about one hun
drcd and twenty-five yards from
their starting point they were hail
ed from the bank by Wall, who
rose up from she bushes, pointed a
gun at them and ordered them to
land. Before they could land, and
while begging him not to shoot, he
fired, killing Charles Williams and
Bowman and wounding four Others

riously and two Others slightly
Strange to say the person Walpin-
tended to shoot escaped unhurt

the banks and submerged o great many
of the streets. The entire western
portion of the city is under water.
which is still rising. Families in the
third, fourth, sixth and seventh wards
have been compelled to vacste their
houses, and the lumber yards along
the river are converted into floating
wood yards. The narrow-sauge tracks
are under water and several wash~outs
have already resulted. The damage
will be very large, and it is impossible
to estimate it now, As the flood just
seems to be coming. Fortunately none
of the city bridges have been washed
away. In some places the streets are
being navigated by boats. AT Waters

past two days. causing a sudden break
up Of ice, which m down in large
masses. The bridges leading to Oai
Hill and Boughton were both swept
away to-day. The river is still rising,
and much damage is threatened.

chase it was discovered that he had had
Syphilis for twelve years. His head was
without a hair on it. He treated him with
this remedy, and in four weeks he was
sound and well, and in a short time had as
fine a head of hair as was ever owned by a
negro. He owned this slave many years,

The Chamberlain Hunt Academy.

The following resolutions, relative
to the management of the Cham
berlain-Hun Academy, located at
Port Gibson, were adopted by the
Mississippi Presbytery, at its meet
ing in Brookhaven, last week:
The Committee appointed to prepare
o report on the Chamberlain>Hu Hunt
Academy, present the following: wN
WHEREAS, Presbytery has repeated.
ly asked from the Board of Trustees a
minute account of the affairs of the
institution and has failed to receive it;
and
WHEREAS, At the last Fall meeting
after another failure to render q salts
factory account, Presbytery urged upon
the Board to send up to the Spring
meeting a full and comprehensive re-
port, and they have again failed to
do so.
RESOLVED, LIST. That Presbytery ex.
press its disappointment and sorrow at
this last and oft repeated failure to
comply with or just and legitimate
demand.
RESOLVED, I'd. That Presbytery re-
gard these failures as evidence either
of carelessness or negligence on the
part of the Board or IN intention to
ignore or disregard the wishes of the
body that called them into existence.
RESOLVED, 81. That the attention
of the Board be called to the fact that
the Chamberlain Hunt Academy is an
institution which belongs to the Press
bytery If Mississippi. and the right on
our part to supervise its affairs is clear
and undoubted, aud we hereby renew
our demand on the Board to send up to
the next meeting all the information
which has been desired.
RESOLVED, That the Board be urged
to put forth all their effortst2 carry
out the great and pfomiAFy Sign OF
the Academy which is. tx lbnild-
ing up the church and II infi-
deity, by promoting q soupH sndsher'
al christian education.

at Crystal Springs, October 10, 1877
Several places made bids for the
College, Natchez, Fayette, Rodney
Port Gibson and Brookhaven
Brookhaven proposed to build ant
donate to Presbytery q large three.
story brick building, of modern
architecture, costing not less than
$4,000, if the College were located
here. The proposition was ignored
and the school was taken to Por'
Gibson. 1t has been nothing but
local school since established there
and Presbytery ees it has made {
mistake, and there is grave rumor'
of another removal. Presbytery
claims to have the right to super
wise the School, but it seems thu
Trustees decline to be supervised
and pay no attention to the com
mands to come up and give an &C
count of their stewardship. Presby
terry has her metal up and speaks il
unmistakable terms in the abov'
B resolutions.
We wish Port Gibson no harm
) but if the Academy will not prospe
there, and Presbytery decides t.
' move it, we trust that Brookhavel
will offer sufficient inducements t.
get the school. Everything consid
cred, we believe this is the hes
place in the district for it.

Rddsbarssr Virtually Disposed Of.


IN the Senate last Monday, Mr..
Beck said that Riddlebarger would
not now nor in December be made
Ssrgeant-at-arms; that before the
Senate met in regular session the
Virginia election would be over and
il the Republicans did not tender,
somebody else would tender for Ser.
geant-at-arms, some one who was
a conservative Republican, who had
fought through the war in the Fed
eral army, and then the Republi-
cans could choose between the
Confederate repudiating Riddlebar-
ger and that man who would be
rendered to them, he thought, by 0
Republican Senator, 1t might as
we'll be understood, that in Decem
Der next the Republicans would moi
put Riddlebarger IN. Senator brown
also stated that Riddlebarger could
never be elected. 1t was reported
that after hearing the speeches Of
Beck and Brown, Riddlebarger went
to Malone and authorized him tc
withdraw his name and suggested
that he knew several Union soldiers
in Virginia, either of whom could
fill the place creditably, and whose
nomination now would forestall thu
Democratic programme. The Re
publicans would rejoice at the with
drawal of Riddlebarger. He ha'
been the heaviest load they hav'
had to carry for many years.
