UNDER WHICH FLAG
The Resolution in the House Relative TO
the steamer bahama.

the steamer Bnhnmn.
The following is the full text of the resolution
which was submitted in the House on Monday
last by Representative Cox, of New York, and
which, upon recommendation of the House Com
mttee on Commerce, was adopted Thursday.
Whereas II Is alleged that certain vessels called
steamers have sailed out Of the port OF New York
under the English flag with an American certih
cate allowing them TO run, among them the steam
ship Bahama, lately lost; and
Whereas 1t is alleged that the aforementioned
vessel was unseaworthy, of which the supervising
vlsed. and that other vessels similarly privileged
are grossly unfit and unsafe, and the lives and
property of our citizens put In peril thereby:
Therefore,
RESOLVED, That the Secretary of the Treasury be
directed to communicate TO this House all inform
alton in his office, or that OF his subordinates in
relation to such vessels, with view 10 so amend
the law as to remedy such gross disregard of life
and property.
Upon inquiry at the Treasury Department 1t was
ascertained that the information referred to had
been received by the Department, the steamers
named being the British passenger steamers Ba-
hama and Gamma. Immediately upon the re-
ceipt of the advtces an investigation of the rec.
ords was made by Supervising Inspector General
Dumont, which resulted in establishing the fact
that neither of thesteamers were subject To Amerl
can inspection and were not recorded as sail
ing under American certificates. Tho vessels both
being beyond the Jurisdiction of the United States
officers nothing further could be done in the
premises The person who made the complaint
was at once informed Of the result OF the investi
CATION. The records Of the Department show that
the lost vessel was sailing under an American GER
tifcate in 1875, and was known as the General
Meade" Since then, however, the vessel has been
purchased by foreigners and when lost was sub
ect only TO the British navigation laws, There IN
no record of an inspection of the Bahama ever
having been made by United States inspectors.

We may cry Democracy! but the
real issue in Mississippi county is
temperance or anti-temperanoc, and
there is no use in trying to disguise
this fact. This bug-a-boo about the
niggcr, is all in your eye. We have
heretofore warned the people that
the whisky men were organized and
would leave no means untried to
carry their object. 1t they can't
carry /" for license" their object then
is to elect mon who favor whisky by
any means, foul or fair. Don't be
deceived, the Democracy of Missis-
sippi county is in very little more
danger now than it has been in the
past ten years. The same cry of
"nigger was heard two years ago,
yet nobody was frightened, and there
is no reason to be scared now, If the
people will DO their duty. And what
we meah by TIE PEOPLE is the sober,
law and order abiding element, who
believe whisky is a curse to society
that churches and school houses are
more civilizing in their influences
than saloons, and that sober men,
other qualifications being equal
should be elevated to positions OF
honor and trust, no matter what the
merits or qualifications Of the whisky
champions may be. No use in beat
ing about the bush, or giving uncer.
tain sounds, the issue is before us
we have no time now for swapping
horses-the election is near at hand
If we fail, we will at least have the
conscious satisfaction of knowing
that we fought for good and worthy
cause, involving a principle which is
engaging the attention If the best
and purcst minds all over our LAND
and country.

them, grows exclusive of everything

the ways TO them are once found, and
men become fully cntangled within
