Sentiments Which Were APP
piauded in Chicago.

CHICAGO, Dec. 29.-Herr Johann
Most delivered a most outspoken
socialistic speech in the northwestern
portion of the city last night. He
said that when the people got the
upper hand they stopped killing ;
the only thing to be done was to
keep on killing. People here must
kill, must open banks and stores and
help themselves to whatever they
wanted, and bankers and capitalists
must be set to work on the streets.
His talk was received with the most
uprorious applause.
The people of Mississippi may not
be fully up tc the Chicago standard
of excellence aud enlightenment, but
we are very sure that had such SEN
timents been expressed by any public
speaker in any town or village in our
State, he would have had to choose
rapidly between flying and hanging
The man who entertains and ex
presses such views is not fit to live =.
he is an enemy to society and de-
serves no more mercy at the hands
Of law abiding people than a f9nd
who takes to the streets with torch
md blu lgeon intent on Grsou and
murder.

Natchez as u Seaport.

What would be the expense of ap-
plying the jetty system towards
deepening the channel of the Missis-
sippi as far up as Natchez for vessels
drawing twenty five feet of water?
Congressman Van Eaton should have
this matter looked into. We suppose
it is useless to direct State attention
to the matter AS a practical fact,
however, the channel can be deepen-
ed by the ietty system to Natchez,
and when that is done Gov. Pom
dexters dream will bid fair to be
accomplished-Mississi will have
great port of entry in her own
borders. How many bars from New
Orleans to Natchez, the present low
water stage of the same, and what it
takes to deepen them,is the question,
-JacksOn Neac NiSsissippia@.
While the channel between New
Orleans and Natchez possesses an
average depth of water capable OF
floating the heaviest ocean going
steamer, there are several bars be-
tween the two ports that will MOI
admit of the free passage of vessels
drawing over eleven feet, when the
river is low. We understand that
there are but three OF four of these
Instructions, and that their early
removal is part of the plan OF the
River Commission. We do not hope
however to see Natchez become an
important port of entry in the near
future, but expect to see the dreams
of both Governor Poindexter and
Ex- President Davis fully realized in
the establishment OF a great sea- port
on our South coast. The building of
the Ship.Island railroad will accom-.
plish this. and if our jackson friends
will spur Jones Hamilton up little,
he will build that road within the
next two years, and the Government
work essential to the improvement
of the harbor will follow as matter
of course.

CAPITAL COMMENT

Special to n. o. Picayune.
Washington, Dec. 30 Representative
Manning, of Mississippi offered resolu,
ton to,day well adapted to expose the
HYPOCRISY OF THE PRESIDENT,
who, while parading himself MS a champ
ion OF civil service reform, is allowing
his Commissioner OF Internal Revenue,
Mr.. Raum, to spend his time in Illinois
intriguing for an election to the United
State Senate, and has also armed Gen.
James Il. Chalmers with the power of II
Federal Office to MD him in his contest
for a seat Ill the House Of Representa-
tivcs.
The resolution calls upon the
Department of Justice to report what
public exigcncy there was for appoint
ing Chalmers Assistant District Attor,
ney; also to report the compensation and
date of the appointment, and whether
it was recommended by the United Stntes
District Judge Or the United States
District Attorney.
1t is believed that resolution which
was referred to the judiciary Committee
may be favorably reported, as some oil
the Republicans consider Chalmers a
henvy load to carry.
Representative Manning has also offer
ed resolution calling on the Commits
sion + Of Internal Revenue to furnish tie
reason forthe appointment of A. T. " i'm
berly of Coffeevlle, and Edgar West, of
Holly Springs, as special agents of the
revenue service, and TO furnish detailed
OH - a. 4,
an ltemiznd account.
1t is alleged that one of these individ-
uaIs charged the Governmentwith expen>
SEES iucurrcd in his political operations
in Mississippi
Mr.. Manning speaks with Indignation
of the
PROSTITUTION OF THE PUBLIC SERVICE
in this district. The course of Chalmers
in antagonizing the Democratic candi-
date, and especially in his persecution of
Democrats in the Federal Courts, has
alienated all the friends he once had
here among the Democrats
Mr.. Manning will probably make an
swer to Chalmers contest, accepting
the issue rendered, and defy him to bring
forward his proofs; but it is believed
that Mr.. Manning will not take any adj
vantage of the certificate of election is
sued in his favor, except to force the is
sue and Investigation by the House of
Representatives, as to who was the real
choice of the people. In word, Mr..
Manning will not take his seat nor draw
any pay as a member until the House
shall decide the question. If the House
should refer the matter back to the peo-
pie for decision, Mr.. Maunlng would en-
terrain no doubt of the result.
The use of Federal Office by Chal
mers to bulldoze the district by persecu.
ting his political opponents and the spec
tacle of pecked juries is not likely to
further Chalmers pretentions to seat
in the next House of representatives..

a New Railroad.
am Yours
z. NJ.

Jay Gould, it is sud, contemplates
the construction of II new trunk line
of railroad through the States of
Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi,
Tennessee and X ntucky, reaching
Cincinnati, which, when constructed,
will be the Nor,b bern terminus. The
northern extenuon will begin on the
line of the Mobile and Ohio road, at
either Columbus, Miss, or Aberdeen,
in the same State, and will take n
northeasterly course, crossing the
Louisville and Nashville system at
Decatur, Ala. From there it will still
run in northeasterly direction,
parallel with and about midway be
tween the Cincinnati Southern and
Louisville and Nashville systems. 1t
will cross the Nashville, Chattanooga
and st. LOUIS road at a point about
Wartrace, in this State, or perhaps
between that and Murfreesboro.
From there the course will be almost
due north toward She,byviile, Ky,
passing through Frankfort, the capi-
tai, and thence on to Cincinnati, Mr.
Gould will, us soon rs the road has
by the court been removed from the
hands of q receiver, assume entire
control of the Mobile and Ohio, which,
it is understood, will be made a part
of the Wabash, St. Louis and Pacific
system, but operated jointly with his
Southwestern system, possibly in
connection with the st. Louis, Iron
Mountain and Southern.-Memphjs

Studying Our Railroads.

LOUISVILLE Courier Jo,t9maI: "There
is at present in our city Premier
Lieutenant Won Tschudi, of the Ger
man army, who has been sent to this
country for observations in railroad
matters. The German government
is at present organizing railroad
system in The army, and is sending
its officers abroad to see the result
of foreign engineering. Mr. Won
Tschudi has been travelling in France
from whence he came to America.
After visiting Mexico, Canada, Cali
fornia and the principal Western
States, he came from New Orleans
to this city, with letters of introduc,
ton to Col. D Funiak, of the NASH
vile road. Messrs. d. Funiak, A. V.
Gade, resident engineer, and William
II. Walters, architect, have taken
pains in showing the visitor through
our city, and giving him all possible
aid in his study of The system here.
He is very much delighted with his
reception, and thinks that he has
seen in the L. and N. one of the
most thoroughly organized concerns
of its kind. Mr.. Won Tschudi will
remain here a few days to get better
acquainted with the L and N. and
its workings. "-Mensphis appeal.

The New Bankrupt Law.

The talked of U. s. bankrupt law
will not, as we can see, prove OF any
benefit to the agricultural people,
and this class comprises two-thirds
of our population. 1t may be some
relief to commercial men and the
legal fraternity, but never single
jot or aciutilla to the farming Glass;
Ibcs'Soan W3ehly.
We should be glad to know that il
>pas not pc s,led by any of the Missis
sippi agrculturists, but the old law
Afforded relief 10 hundreds of them
and we fear there are quite anumber
who anxiously await the enactment
of the measure now receiving Con-
eressional consid aration. The bill
row before the Senate is exceedingly
generous to the debtor and at the
same time protects the interests OF
creditors to a greater extent than
ANY law of the kind heretofore pro-
posed or enacted.
To avail himself of its provisions,
man mist have "provable debts to
the amount of at least five hundred
dollars, and he is entitled to all of
the exemptions allowed by the laws
Of the United States and his own
State at the date of the filing Of his
petition, and may apply for dis
charge from his debts in not less than
two or over six months. This bill is
also exceedingly generous'and just in
its protection of the rights of en-
ployees Of the bankrupt, for it pro
vides that the wages due any work
man, clerk, or other employee of the
petitioner, shall take precedence next
after taxes, to the amount of fifty
dollars to each person, to be paid
out of the assets before any dividend
can be declared. The bankrupt dur
ing the tendency OF proceedings is
allowed reasonable wages for attend
ing to the estate at the request of
the trustee, and also the usual witt
ness fees for testifying as witness
in Lis own case, when required. In
this bill n special provision is made
for the benefit Of farmers and me-
chanics in the following words. "The
term trader shall not include per
sons who buy live stock and mer-
chandise for sale only to their own
tenants, employees and laborors {; nor
who buy to sell again any goods or
chattles from such tenants,employees
or laborers; nor mechanics of any
kind who habitually labor at their
trades nor farmers, who, having no
place of business in any village, town
or city, buy and sell agricultural
products, or buy live stock with the
view of fattening them for sale, un-
less such person so excluded be
otherwise traders within the mean
ing Of this act.
If the bill now under consideration
passes without material changes, it
will take permanent place upon the
statute book, and under our liberal
system of exemptions will become a
great blessing to Mississippi, afford>
ing timely relief to many worthy
but unfortunate man.

Four Sterling Boys.
From the Atlanta Consultation.

From the Atlanta Constitution.
The Constitution has printed many
a story of denial, energy and hero
ism, but none more deserving than
the story of the Green boys. These
four boys started few years ago
selling newspapers. They made ten
cents apiece the first morning they
went to work, and for two winters
thereafter they went, barefooted,
through the snow ana sleet in the
freezing dawn, on their morning
rounds. From the very first they
saved certain percentage of their
earnings, which they wisely invested
in Atlanta real estate. The oldest
of them is now eighteen years of age,
and the youngest twelve. They have
supported an invalid father and their
mother all the time, aud now have
property worth considerably over
$4,000, houses from which the rent
is $40 per month, and 5000 stock in
q building and loan association. They
have educated themselves the mean
while, remaining from school this
year in order to work The harder and
build homo for their parents that
is to have front parlor and a bay
window in it. These little fellows
have been carriers, news-boys. GRAND
boys and apprentices about the Con-
,tjtutiO,, Office, and one of them is
now assistant mailing clerk. The
net savings from their sales and sal
aries, exclusive of their rents, has
been 500 week for this year. Next
year they can do better, and by the
time the oldest of the brothers is of
age they ought to have a comforta,
BILE little fortune. What these boys
have done other boys can do. The
whole secret is steadiness, sobriety,
industry and economy. There are
few lessons more important for boys
than that the smallest amount-no
matter how little it may be-will
make great fortune if it is only
saved and invested, and that the
smallest income-no matter how
small--will make a man independent
if he will only live inside of it and
compound his surplus. 1t must have
been dscouraging to these youngsters
when it took them q month to lay up
Il single dollar, and it was heroic in
them when they went barefooted over
frozen ground rather than use it to
buy shoes with. 1t is easy now, when
they are comfortably clad and hous>
ed, and everybody about them is
comfortable, and their savings amount
to twenty times week more than
they were formerly able to save in a
month. They have conquered life
almost before they have entered it,
and if they will only keep clearly
hearts and genial souls, and broad,
hearty impulses, they will be not only
rich but useful men

to be the first temperance State in the
