The Apaches WHO fed from the United

by the Mexican troops, and are now anus

among the whites and ranchmen on this

Sharp Practice Of the Malone Can
wasting Board In Virginia.

- Is
In the ID Congressional District in Va.
Messrs. Mayo lReadiuster) and CARR
son fDemocraI were candidates. The
vote of Gloucester county gave to Gar
rison an unquestioned majority in the
District but the State Board award
ed to Mayo the certificate of cleo
ton on these grounds: The objection
made to the Gloucester returns was that
the seal used was not the County Courts
seal, but the ''seal of the Circuit Court"
with the word county substituted for
circuit then read seal of the County
Court. The Clerk of the Court, Mr..
Cook, stated that the seal of the County
Court had for some years been broken, so
that sufficient leverage pressure could
not be easily obtained to make an i'm
preston, and that since that time the
Circuit Court seal was used by the
County Court, the word circuit being
always written over by the County.
In other words, that the seal used by
| him on these returns is his official seal
BE brought the old seal to submit for
the inspection of the Board. Notwith
standing this, Mr.. Edgar Allan moved
that the Gloucester returns be rejected
not being, in his opinion, in conformity
with the law so far as the seal is con
eerned. The case was deliberately ar
gued by Allan, for Mayo, and Gen
Eppa Hunton, as counsel for Garrison
the Democratic candidate. A sugges
ton that the returns be sent back tc
the county for amendment as to seal, OF
that the county clerk, then outside
waiting the command of the Board, be
called and permitted to set the ole
county seal on the returns were all re
iected, and the returns were thrown out
Gov. Cameron was the only member o
the Board who voted to accept the
returns from Gloucester. Attorney
General Blair and the others held tina
the Gloucester seal was fatally defect
i've, and that it was not in the power o
the Board to do anything but pass upol
the identical paper before them. Gov
Cameron declined to sign the certifcat
: awarded to Mayo. This sends him t.
: Washington with one majority. Glou
cester gave Judge Garrison a majorit'
of 81, and upon these facts there cal
be no doubt but that the House of Rep

The Silver Question.

The Mining Record in reply to a
statement of the n. Y. Evening Post
that our silver dollar of 4121 grains
sold in London would bring but 81
cents, says that it is made with Che dis
reputable object of leading the readers
of the Post to enormously believe our
Government was doing an exceptionally
dishonest thing in coming silver at a
higher valuation than is done in any
other country, when in truth we are
giving 8. 06 per cent. more silver for 100
cents in coined silver than is done else
where in the commercial world. The
Record, in reply to the Post, says that
4121 grains of silver, nine-tenths fine,
coined at the valuation at which France,
Germany, Belgium, Holland, and other
leading commercial nations, have sill
yer circulation to the extent of one
thousand millions of dollars, would be
worth somewhat more than 103 cents.
There is utility in silver money which
does not inhere in silver bullion, and
the conversion of bullion into money
costs something.

Pure Democracy.

In the full enjoyment Of the gifts Of
Heaven, and the fruits of superior indus
try, economy, and virtue, every man is en-
titled to equal protection By law. But
when the laws undertake to add to these
natural and just advantages artificial dis
tinctions, to grant titles, gratuities and ex-
elusive privileges; to make the rich richer
and the potent more powerful; the humble
members of society, the farmers, laborers
and mechanics, who have neither the time
nor the means of securing like hvors to
have right to complain Of the
injustice Of their government. There are
no necessary evils in the government. Its
evils exist only in abuses. If it would con-
ine itselfto equal protection, and IS Heaven
does its rains, shower its favor alike on the
rich and the poor, it would be an unqual-.
fed blessing. AEDREw JACKSON.

THE following article in the Washing.
ton Republican of the 9Th, seems to in
dictate that the Clerk of the House will
place neither the name of Manning nor
of Chalmers on the roll, and viii leave
it to the House to determine who has the
prinaa taeie right to the seat:
Chalmers has fled q Sprobest with the
Clerk Of The House against placing Man
nings name on the roll OF The forty-eighth
Congress. The documents fled are certifi-
Gates from the Secretary of State of ATissis-
sippi, who IS the only certifying officer as
to Congressional elections in that State. II
the Secretary of State gives Manning a GER
tihcate declaring him elected, and gives
Chalmers a certificate showing thu actual
returns tefore him on which the leclara.
ton is made, the Clerk of the House must
consider both, and if the tive cef tifcates
taken tlgether leave him in doubt, he
should not put either on the roll, but refer
the Prlnld fdeje cases to Congress. If the
two certificates show clearly that Chalmer:
is elected he should be put on the roll
The Governor, under the laws of Missis
sippi, has nothing to do with the matter.
The Republican is correct in saying
that the Governor has nothing to d,
with the matter. His commission i
based on the certificate of the Secretary
of State, and is simply evidence Of wha
that officer has certified.

DR.. Galloway's Thanksgiving Sermon
Before the North Mississippi Con-
ference.
Corinth Herald

Corinth Herald
On Thursday all the business houses OF
the town were closed, and the Court House
was literally crsmmed to hear Rev. G..
B. Galloway's sermon on that occasion.
His discourse lasted but about forty mia
utes, but received most profound attention
and was highly appreciated. What we
should term a commendable departure in
preaching was his references to government
and political interests. That man should
be true to his country and true to his God.
That the great need of the times is pious
men in the Councils of the Nation that
the welfare ofthe country demanded praying
and Col fearing men in places ofpublic trust;
that positions of influence should be hlled
by those capable of rightly directing public
thought, and correcting public morals-men
who by their deeds honor God and elevate
His cause. Christian legislators should be
appreciated the purity of the elective
franchise must be preserved the ballot box
is the chief corner stone of Republican lib
thunder tones against all infringements on
the right of free ballot and fair count.
While the Church must not come down
from its high plane Of religious thought,
aud religious duty, it must yet render
unto Caesar the things that belong to Gaze
sar; and upon the pious and GodA fearing
men and women composing the Church,
must go out the influence to purify society,
correct the evils that affect them as citizens
of the country, whether social, political or
otherwise. He discountenanced the idea
that the responsibilities of legislation and
government should be given up wholly to
the irreligious; or that a Christian man
should forfeit his reputation for fidelity to
the cause of religion, by doing his duty as a
citizen of the country, in public as well
as private capacity. The whole discourse
was burst of grand thought, clothed in
beautiful imagery; and its effects no doubt
will remain for good to the hundreds that
heard il.

Tobacco.

A. bill has been reported by the
House Committee to abolish all form o.
internal taxes on tobacco. A good
measure. Tobacco is so commonly used
as to be regarded as necessity, and can
not be classed as luxury. Besides, It is
the only article of agricultural prOdue-
ton that is taxed. There is no justice
in such discrimination. Mr.. Morrison,
Democrat of nlinois) of the committee
voted against reporting the bill. His
Democratic colleagues voted to report
it. The Republicans were about equal

The Message on the Supervision of
Corporations.

Not the least noteworthy feature of
the Presidents Message, is his decided
committal in favor of laws for the pro-
lection of commerce between the States
by legislation controlling freights and
fares. He says
The regulation of interstate commerce has
already been the subject OF your delibera-
tons. One of he incidents Of the marvellous
extension OF the railway system Of the coun-
try has been the adoption Of such measures by
the corporations which own or control the
roads as has rendered - impair the advan-
Lages oE hes 'thfui composition and make
hur fu DETERMINATIONS in the adjustment of
freigh,age. These inequalities have been cor
rected in several o. the States by appropriate
legislation, the effect Of which is necessarily
restricted to the Limits of their own territory.
So far as such measures affect commerce be-
tween the states or between any one of.the
states and foreign country til y are subjects
Of national concern, and congress alone can
afford relief.
1t will be seen, that while the Pres
ident extols the regulations which have
been adopted by State Legislatures 10
prohibit extortion and discrimination
within the States, he recommends need
full legislation by Congress for the pro-
lection Of commerce between the States.
The recommendation is good one.
