A POLITICAL CASE,
IN. 0. Democrat, Jan. 81

At about 8 O'clock yesterday
the three United States deputy
Marshals who had been dis
patched to Lake Providence to
make the arrest OF Messrs. M.
S. Powell, T: J. Powell, and j.
D. Tompkins reached this city
with the gentlemen named.
The gentlemen are charged on
the affidavit of Pleasant Harris,
a negro, with having conspired
together and killed DR.. Jones,
because Of his support of B. FL.
Lanier, the Republican candi-
date for Congress in the fifth
district during the last election,
and with having, by SO doing, vi
olated section $500 of the Re
vised Statutes of the United
States. ''5 +-'
This statute says nothing
about the specific crime of MUIR
der charged, but makes a con-
spiracy to interfere or intimidate
a voter during presidential or
congressional. election an offense
punishable by fine and imprison-
ment.
Jones, it will be remembered,
was not killed during. but sever
al days after the election.
The gentlemen were arl Aligned
before United States Commis
sioner Lane, who received the
affidavit and were released on

The Mother Rules the Wor1a.

1t is hard for young mother,
who has not overcome the way
ward tendencies of her own
youthful nature, to realize the
iDfuences she exerts over little
ones. She is constantly sur
rounded by critical imitators
who copy her morals and man
ners. As the mother is, SO are
her sons and daughters. II a
family Of children is blest with
an. Intelligent mother, who lis
delicate and refined in her man
ners, and does not consider it
necessary to. be one woman in a
drawing room and an entirely
different person in every day
fife,f but who is a true mother,
and always tender, charming
woman you will invariably see
her habits of speech and perfect
manners repeated 10 her chill
.dren. Great, rough men and
noisy, busy boys will always
tone down their Voices and step
Lightly and try to be more man
nerly when she stops to give
them 3 kind word or pleasant
smile; for true mother will
!7,s't never 4. fail i '' to say or do all the
pleasant things that she can that
will 10 any way help or lift up
and cheer those whose lives
are Shaded with care and toll.
The mother Of to-day rules the
world OF to-morrow.

klns, Gen. W. L. McMillen and
F. F. Montgomery, Esq.
The gentlemen had NO state
ment to make beyond the one
that, until they reached this city,
they did not know the offense
with which they were charged.
They did not know the charac-
ter of the evidence which would
be brought against them and
therefore prefetredsto.say moth

Theswitnesses thus far sum-
moned for the prosecution are
j. W. Dunn, Bailey DonnalIy, J..

cuser, Pleasant Harris,
The acc.sed were accompan-
led to this city by some half
dozen ofstheir friends, residents
of Lake Providence. They are
all young men, neither of them
apparently being much, if any,
over thirty years, and are class
ed among the best citizens of
the parish in which they live.
They were represented yester-
day before the court by Messrs:
W uieo " OpouceF.
In connection with the matter
it must be stated that there is
nothing on the record which con-
meets B. Fl. Lanier with the
proceedings, and that be denies
being insany manner response
bic for the prosecution or having
hadsany knowledge of it until be
read OF it in the newspaper. He
