About Mexico.
MAGDALENA, Sonora, Mexico,
.IannarY 9th. 1NSo.

january -OJfi, lc>-.
To the Editor Of the Piedmont Banner:
If any of my friends in Southeast Missouri
should think of coming to this country,
have this advice to give:
Bring along plenty of blankets, warm cloth
ing and greenbaclls, for they will need them
all While there is no snow here winters,
and but the least of frosts, yet the air Is such
that man can shivcr and shake just rs east
/ ly Is at home. And bring greenbacks for
| two reasons-onc, because they will need
| them, and the other, because they command
II per cent. premium. l have felt some
pride for this latter fact, because | well re-
member when greenbacks went begging even
at home; now they command the respect of
the world.
To all appearance this is delightful
winter climate. 1t is more like an October
in Missouri than winter. Many beautiful
flowers are continually in bloom: the orange,
lemon, and palm trees are rich in foliage and
fruit: the wheat fields are very green: thf
cattle on the mountain ranges are all fat; and
the birds of all the northern chimes seem to
gather here for rest and pleasure. 1t Is
very beautiful land TO look upon, and the soil
is rich and climate and soil are so arranged
that two and three crops wear can be raised
and vet all things good for food scarce
and exceedingly high. The gait of the jack
ass seems to have regulated all the move
ment> of the people, and laZiness Is the rule.
This town is one of thirty five hundred pco-
pie, and is situated in Ma"dalena valley,
very beautiful valley; yet there is hardly
window or bed here. Every house is built
of mud ..dobicS,' one story high, and dirt
roofs. And the people are i'll fed, i'll clothed,
and governed by local petty tyrants, and the
ian@lin~ of discOrdant bells are rung every
day and for every Imaginable saint; and what
with gambling and the priests the people are
ground GOWN to the lowest condition and the
children are hungry for bread. This may be
in name aErepublic but in practice it is no
more one than Turkey is, and all the pre-
tended elections are only successful eases of
bulldoZing. As for the Judiciary system
here. it seems to be more the arbitrary dicta-
else. There are no reports and precious few
books of any kind in Mexico.
But in climate, in soils, and in the remark
able mineral deposits, the whole country is
unequalcd.
If 1 could see all the great land-gran
swept away and given to the people and the
starry flag floating over my head with its
safety and security to life and property. |
certainly woNld live and die here in Sonora.
Very Respectfully,
.I.NIES IT CHASE

For Congress.

Many of our Southeast exchanges
are giving themselves, we think, I'M
necessary anxiety as to who shall be
our next Congressman from the Fourth
District.
1t is not our purpose at this time to
enter the discussions; and We only refer
to it now because one of our citizens
figures i'm the list, as made up by some
of our exchanges.
We are very confident that the use
of Judge Emerson's name in that con-
nection is without his knowledge or
consent. We see him every day, and
have never heard such an intimation
from him. OF his eminent qualifica-
tons for the position, if he would ac-
cept it. all are agreed, but we speak
with the utmost confidence when we
say that it is our belief Judge Emerson
does not want the place, and is in no
sense a candidate. We think his true
position is on the Circuit or Supreme
bench, as his disposition, habits of
thought, and culture. give him judi
cial mind, and more eminently fit him
for judicial than political life. flour CO.
temporaries and the bar of the South
east would unite on Judge Emerson as
their can lidate for the Supreme Court,
there would he almost certain prospect
securing the place for the Southeast.
1S&ther name would receive so strong
rpport in other parts of the State.
the meantime, as Judge Emerson
il,as always heretofore favored the re-
election of our Congressman SO long
as they continued to demonstrate their
usefulness, We venture to predict, that
he will favor the reelection of our
present member, Hon. l.. H. Davis,
should that gentleman, as in the past,
continue to merit public confidence.
OF couse he will, and hence we know
of no reason why Mr.. Davis should not
be his own successor.

w. c. Miller, Sentenced to be Hung
