COMPRESSED.
An Interview With a Prominent
Mississippi Republican.

Judge K. Stafford, Of Greenville,
Mississippi, is in the city, on his re-
turn from trip up North. He leaves
this aftern DON for Friar's Point. He
is a Conservative National Republican
and has had much to with Mississippi
politics as editor and public speaker.
In speaking of the head Of the Demo
cratic ticket in Mississippi he re-
marked to. day that he knew General
Robt. Lowry very well and had can
vassed the State with him on opposite
sides in 1868 and found him an anna
Bile, heightened, liberal minded gentle
man. He would like to see the demo
cratic party in Mississippi defeated
if proper combination could be
made to accomplish this result, but
he hod nothing to say against General
Lowry personally. Circumstances
might arise under which he would
vote for him for Governor. In the
course of a long conversation to-day
with a LEDGER representative, he
said that there was time when there
had been some shadow of Justification
for what is called bulldozing in his
State, though not for killing any one.
But that had passed away, and all
good citizens should unite in demand
ing a free ballot and fair count.
From the general tenor of the
judges remarks it could not be
inferred that he is hopeful that
the Republicans can be successful in
the next election. He seems to think
that Lamar will be his own successor
in the Senate, and that if the report
about General Chalmers joining the
Greeuback party is true it will not d.
him much good, for he has had ample
opportunity to do SO before when the!
needed him, and failed to do so.
The Judge also states that tn,
weather is hot in St. Louis, in return
for which the information was fur
nished that it was warm but yer
pleasant here. Judge Stafford is tn
author Of the famous phrase, "Dea
Bob" This expression was used whe
he sold his interest in the Jackso
Pilot in 1868, and telegraphed to Ger
Lowry, then at Corinth, that he wa
ready to meet him on the stunt
Without intimating to him that b
had been interviewed, the LEDGE
scribe babe him a polite good day.

BARGE Line Story.

New York Special to Cincinnati Gazotte.l
There is a report that "a powerful
New York syndicate has been formed
to take control of the entire Missis-
sippi barge system, of which the st.
Paul and other Western journals have
been making so much.
On induiring at the proper sources
here it is found to be subject to sun
dry important qualifications, and when
these are duly taken into account
there will not be much Of the story
left. An intimate friend of Mr.. Jay
Gould, who is in a position to know
all about it, says;
"There is really nothing in it be-
yond a clever device Of Mr.. Keene to
'bear' the Gould Southwestern rail
road stock by creating the impression
that the projected barge line will take
from Gould's roads all the grain car
rying business. :,
"Mr. Keene," he further remarked,
is getting rather famous for initiating
schemes Of chs colossal character,
that rarely come to anything beyond
the limits of stock exchanges. SO as
soon as YOU hear that he has covered
his short contracts on the stocks he
has lately been hammering, depend
upon it. you will here no more of that
wonderful Mississippi barge scheme.

ANOTHER surgical operation has
been performed upon the President
to let off the pus and reduce his tenn
perature. According to the doctors,
it was, as usual, quite a success. They
are just beginning to find out where
the pus is located, and at every oper-
alton they get at it by a shorter cut.
If, in making these missions, they
should come across the bullet, just
like as not they would boldly take it
out, without waiting half an hour
to ask anybody. The President takes
ether and always feels better when
under its influence. The more he
takes the more he likes it, and this
gives the doctors a chance to open up
new bitches and put in new tiles to
draw off the ever recurring pus. One
thing is certain, Garfield has a power
full constitution, and has use for it. If
the Texas people have sufficiently
recovered from their indignation
at Governor Roberts to pray for
the President, now is the time
he needs it. 1t would not be surpris-
ing to hear in day or two that the
doctors have opened hole in their
patient victim on the other side to get
at something or secare more Light on
the subject.

The High Tax, State credit, out
and out Bourbon Democrats of Vir.
ginia, at their late convention at Rich
mond, which nominated Hon. John
w. Daniel for Governor, adopted a
plank which reads as follows:
2 That the maintenance Of the public
credit of Virginia is the essential means
TO the promotion of her prosperity; that
we condemn reputation, in every shape
and form, as a blot upon her honor, blow
at her permanent welfare and an obstacle
to her progress in wealth, influence and
power; that we will make every effort to
secure a settlement Of the public debt,
with the consent of the creditors, which is
consistent with her honor and dictated by
justice and sound public policy; that it Is
eminently desirable and proper that the
several classes Of debt now existing should
be unified, so that equality, which is equi-
tv, may control in the annual payment Of
the interest and the ultimate redemption
of the principal that with the view Of Sc
curing such equality we pledge our party
to use all lawful authority to secure a set
Element of the State debt so that there
shall be but one class of public debt; that
we will use all the lawful and constitu-
tional means in our power TO secure a
settlement upon the basis of three per
cent bond, and that the Conservative
Democratic party pledges itself as a part
of its policy not to increase the present
rate OF taxation.
This means that they are for State
credit if it does not cost too much
They are not up to the high standards
of this State under which shrewd
managers stole march on the people
and made a settlement to suit the cred
itors contrary to all pledges made before
and utterly regardless Of the rate Of
taxation that might follow. Now
when little drought has struck some
parts of the State their organs which
have declared Internationally thai
the 100 3 settlement would be enforced
are bowling for the Supreme Court tt
hold an extra term to clinch matters
and calling upon the Governor to ge
the Legislature together to postpone
the collection of the taxes required tt
carry out this act. The talk abou
relieving the people is utterly incon
sistent with the declaration so freel.

and the people could not help them
