A. and NJ. College. Gen. Thomas is a
gentleman OF distinguished ability, who

he might accept. He is Il zenlous friend
and advocate of education and will
prove ayaluable member Of the Univor-
sity Boael.I "a t.,5- ,t's=e er II ,-4..az
Tho daily Shreveport Standard, one OF
the most influential papers in Louisiana,
does us the compliment to copy aud
: heartily endorse the article on State
Assessment" which appeared in the
CHIEF of the 3rd instant. A decided
preponderance Of public opinion, as ex-
pressed by the newspapers Of the State,
is opposed to the scheme Of State
Board of Equalization, and if the ,nem-
beers Of the General Assembly have any
regard for the wishes and interests of
the people they will steer clear Of this
specious project.

In n few days Governor Stone will
retire from the Office which for six years.
he has filed so worthily and we'll. We
have seldom had occasion to differ with
him upon questions of public policy.
and where q difference existed, we have
never questioned in the least, the perfect
honesty and purity of his motives, MOI
doubted but his conduct was influenced
by his convictions Of duty. His ad
ministration has been an example Of
ecoaomy and honesty, and it shines the
more c%Gnspieuously by contrast with tn,
regime of extravaganza and proaigacy
which it succeeded. In the meridian Of
life and with taleGts and capacity for
usefulness. il is not to be supposed thai
he is permanently retired from hi
public career butwhatever may be hiI

with him u congratulations upon his
successful performance Of all the trusts
he has been called to discharge, and oui
wish that his good fortune may con
time to attend him.

The Senatorial Contest in the 9Th
District.
Lexington Advertiser

Lexington Advertiser.
In the 9th Senatorial District there will
likely be a contest between Hon. V. b.
Waddell, of Tuniea, the Senator elect at
the late election, and Hon. J. B. Perkins,
who was elected to the same position two
years ago, and was one of the Senators re-
presenting that District in the last session
Of the Legislature, and whose term of ofic
lacks two years of expiring. Some time
last spring, Capt. Perkins, who is engaged
in farming in Tunica county, removed his
family to Memphis, temporarily, as he says,
for the purpose of affording them educa-
tional facilities. He then spent a part of
his time in Memphis, and a part in Tunica
county, still, however, claiming Tunica as
his home and being registered and assessed
as a citizen of that county. If this be so,
then there was never any such a removal of
Capt. Perkins from his district as to cause
a vacancy in his Office. 1t has been fire.
quently decided in our Supreme Court
THAT every person has, in law, a domicile
or home, and that the original domicile can
only be lost by the acquisition of another;h -
and that the intention as well as the act
must be consulted in determining whether
a person has changed his home; and that
there is no such change unless a new abode
is taken up with the intention Of perman-
emily abandoning the old one. Under this
rule, as We understand, Capt. Perkins is
still a citizen of Tunica county, and a Sem
ator from the 9th District Of Mississippi.
The law is, that where there is a vacancy in
a District Office and the unexpired term is
for more than two years, the Governor shall
issue q writ for the holding of an election
for the purpose of having the vacancy filed.
Where an officer dies, is adjudged a luna
tic, or is removed from Office by the sentence
of a court Of competent Jurisdiction, there
can be no question as TO whether there is,
or is not, a vacancy; but in the case Of a
vacancy caused by a change Of domicile it
is far otherwise,

Maj. Jonas in the Aberdeen Examiner,
of the 23d December
In the great fight impending in Congress
involving the Silver Bill providing for the
issuance of silver certificates as currency
representatives Of silver bullion on deposit
in the minis and treasury, Hon L. @ c.
Lamar viii be found among their stalwart
defenders. Always an advocate Of the un-
limited coinage of silver, he differed in 1878
with many others upon the question Of the
weight of metal that the dollar should con-
tain, but when the bill became a law he an
nounced his determination to give it a fair
trial, and resist all efforts for its repeal.
When the g. S. appointed Commissioner
to attend the silver conferences in Europe
he was largely instrumental in securing the
selection Of frieEds Of the bill as delegates,
and is yet hopeful Of n international adj
;ustment that viii establish a ratio between
the precious metals that shall be acceptable
to all the world, and restore silver to the
monetary circulation of all the nations.
Under no circumstances will he consent
to stop the mintage for q single month Of
silver dollars, believing that the least Of all
evils to be ~apprehended by our people is that
of 4 plethora Of these coins IN the treasury.
For the same reason he viii resist the repeal
of the law authorizing the issue of silver
certificates, feeling assured that no currency
vas ever offered 70 the American people As
stable and reliable as that representing. As
these certificates do, an actual deposit Of
bullion to their oEsdik

wouId Ieare the commercial the country to
the tender mercy Of the National Banks,
that might contract or expand the currency
at pleasure and there j. no statesman ID

ouzIy guard the people against the encroach-
ments Of these corporations than Hon L. @
C. Lamar.
