emperor, substantially declaring that "he is
the State and that personal government is
to be maintained, as against ministers and
people Hifis'-5 r1vrulty certuiH 20 TireciP'-
tate conflict with parliament, but ii it
comes to that, the latter, they are confident,
will be backed by the people, especially in
the great cities These gentlemen see the
hand of Bismarck behind the rescTip', and
assert that the chancellor is but pushing tt e
emperor to his ruin. The German merchants
and bankers OF New York are in sympathy
with these views Of the situation, AID they
seem to b. prepared for almost any thing that
may happen. Another great revolution in
Germany in the spirit of AS and the empire
VIII come to an end. We hope it will cone
socn and sudden.

tain Douglas tied up his boat for awhile in

and make purchases. Among others who

NOTHING 20 shames the ignorance OF pol
iticiars who desire to pander to the idle, lazy
and shiftless people who are not prospecting,
and who seek to shift their share of
the burd ems and responsibilities of the State
on to other shoulders, as the figures Of the
census report. These come direct from the
people themselves, and must therefore be
accepted as a hnality in all disputes as to
their progress and prosperity. A sample OF
them is to hand Which shows that'the num-
Der of farms in Mississippi has increased
from $3.50 in 1860 TO %, EOS in 1880. A
result of this is close and economic farming.
Hence, the growth of cotton increased from

Court has satisfactory grounds for liti-
CATION. The settlement as adopted by the
Court was recommended by a committee
composed OF a number of our best citizens
including the attorney for the county. This
was done, we are informed, after careful de-
liberation, in which the advice of some of
the best legal talent in Z e city was taken.
The report of the committee, no doubt, had
great weight with the Court when it adopted
the ordsr, and it will hardly reconsider its
action, unless very substantial reasons are
offered for 50 doing.

those who do not and Will not pay taxes,
and thus increase the burdens of their fell

reports, some OF the figures of which have
been published in the APPEAL prove that
