allow the people to elect their Judges.
II TINS be true, then the people are not
capable of self-government, or We have
been too liberal with the elective fran
chise. 1t is a strong argument, that a
man has virtue and intelligence sufi-
cient TO entitle him to a voice in the
selection of Governor, State Superin-
tendent of Education, Attorney General,
District Attorneys, members OF the Leg
islature, and yet too corrupt or too ig-
norant to be entrusted with the election
Of Judgel
If there is any class of our people to
to whom it is dangerous to entrust the
right to a voice in the selection Of
Judges, it must be equally dangerous to
allow them to vote for the Governor
who appoints the judges, and the Sena-
tors who confirm that appointment, it
must be equally dangerous to allow
them to vote for District Attorneys and
Attorney-General, etc.
There is not an instance on record in
the histoIy of the world, where the peo-
pie of any country ever lost their liberty
by retention of all power in them
selves. The worlds history is full, how
ever, of instances where the people have
lost their liberty, and their homes, and
their all, by submitting to the encroach-
mcnts of bold designing men, who de-
clared that the people were incapable Of
lf-goyernment, and the many should
be governed by the few--that the gov
eminent OF one man was better than the
whole people.
There seems to be some men in Mis-
sissippi, who are afraid of the people.
If Mississippi cannot confde her every
interest to the keeping of her own peo-
pie, they surely we are in a bad condi-
ton. Let the government be brought
in immediate contact with with the peo-
pie, and let every responsibility rest
on the people, and then none
but tyrants and despots need fear.

DEAR SGR-I read with great interest
IN your valuable paper of the 18th, inst.

the United States, whicd / hope will at
tract the most serious attention of all the
planters of the South. That the plant
can be raised most successfully in the
South there is not the slightest doubt. /

most luxuriantly, and know families
which, for years, have used tea of domes-
TIC production, and are perfectly satisfied
with it. More than that, experts have
tried it and found its flavor excellent. |
have in my own garden over 100 plants,
all showing the most vigorous growth,
and no intelligent eye can gaze upon
them without creating deep regret that
tea! which grows SO beautifully, and for
which our country pays annually so
many millions of dollars, is not added
to our existing agricultural enterprises
as new source of national wealth,
1t is true that we have difficulties to
surmonnt before we can compete sue
cessfully with China and Japan, but it
is not less true that these difficulties will
melt away before the inventive genius
OF our people, One of the largest i'm
porting houses and and which thorough
ly understands preparing tea for tho
market, told me lately, "When the South
evinces sufficient interest in raising the
plant, Labor saving machines will be in
vented that would cure tea as cheaplv
rs the Chinese do by hand"
Let every planter of the South raise
rom few hundred to a thousand plants.

efforts. The Agricultural Department

resorted to, and there was every reason
TO believe that the virus had not entered
the victims system. When the acci.
dent occurred the young man was about
to marry, but in consequences of the
uhtoWard occurrence the ceremony was
postponed for three months, when the
medical men who were consulted on the
case gave 1t as their unanimous opinion

This wicked baby Of the woods:

Yet all in vain, for sleep had caught
The hand that reached, the feet tina

you have read a paragraph or a page,
