The meeting Of the Executive Committee
at Forest last week was one Of the most

which IS. 10 meet there on the second 81
August win display as much zeal for the
harmony and success Of the party as did this

w. Harvey, the members of Economy
Grange No. 70, of Rocky Springs,
Claiborne county, determined to have
an appropriate celebration Of the Fourth
of July, at Center Grove, near that place.
Catching the inspiration, the people
of all the country round, joined in the
demonstration, and made it a grand
affair. The day was suspicious, and a
large number of people of both sexes,
old and young, assembled to do honor
to the occasion, and to cultivate the
pleasant amenities of social life. In the
large attendance, delightful reunion of
friends, and sumptuous dinner, the
affair was a complete success. At a
late hour the company dispersed. When
this reporter left the scene in the after
noon, Judge Berry, ofPort Gibson, was
in the midst of a very able and earnest
address upon topics suited to the day
and the occasion.

A New Federal Court Building at
Oxford.


As q matter Of public interest, we
are glad to note that Mr.. Manning,
Representative from the ID District,
has succeeded in getting an appropria-
ton through the lower House of Con-
gress for a Federal Court building at
Oxford. The Washington Republican
makes the passage of the bill the occa-
sion of a ieremiad in which Mr. Man
ming is represented as having accom-
plished wonderful feat, while in the
same chapter, the Republican majority
are rallied at for having been circum-
vented and quite overcome by the ire
pressible Mississippian. The Republi-
can leaves out of sight altogether the
necessity of the case, and dwarfs the
question by mere partisan considera
ton far beneath the standard by which
the Republican majority were governed.
With pity for the Republican in it
lamentations, we cannot help congrat
ulating Mr.. Manning and all the people
who are directly concerned, on the sue,
cess of his laudable endeavor.
