WASHINGTON, June G.-Mr. JEFF
iords, the only Republican Congress
man from MississiPpi,has been trying
for several days to get a number OF
his constituents placed in the depart
ments. He finds that Mississippi
hasn't a representative in tie State
and Navy Departments, only seven
in the War Department, 81 in the
Treasury, 20 in the Interior, and four
in the Post-oiiice Department. This
condition of affairs he regards as a
shameless imposition on Mississippi.
He had long talk about the matter
with the President to-day, and COM
planned that the heads Of departments
did not seem disposed to give his
State fair show.
Mr. Jeilords said he hoped tho
President had some influence with
this administration, because he wanted
his assistance in getting some Missis-
slppi Republicans taken care. of. The
President thought that Mississippi
would be takcn caro- of in good time.
Mr.. Jeilord's intends to make con-
siderable noise unless some appoint
ments are given him. He has un-
dertakon a harder task than he has
any idea of.

EDITORS ExAmNER;-Man voters
on the Trace and in its vicinity urge
us to invite the attention of the peo-
pie through your valuable paper to
the cali reported to have been made
by the Third Supervisors District
for a Mass Convention of the east
side voters on the 23rd instant, to
consider the recent apportionment
made by the County Executive Com
mittee.
They desire us to say that the ex-
perience of the past teaches that
unity and harmony are essential to
the efficiency and success of all party
organizations and that iactional
proceedings tend to division, hostili-
ty and ruin That general dissatis-
faction exists among the voter of the
East side as to the apportionment as
it now stands, and that the County
Executive Committee as the author
izod agent and representative head
politically of the people of Monroe
county should forostall all such pro-
coedings as can only result in disas-
ter to the party, by calling together
the people in Democratic Mass Con
vention previous to the time set for
the District and County Conventions
to discuss and settle in proper spirit
and good faith all essential differences
in the ranks of the party to the end
that goodwill and harmony may
prevail III all our future deliberations.

Capt. Paul ]. Mars, of Nashville,
and George L. Beetle, of Chicago,
and their associates, yesterday COM
pleted the purchase of the property OF
the Louisiana Telephone Company.
Capt, John N. BolTinger, President
of the company, w. II. Bofinger,
Vice President and General Manager,
and w. w. Huck, Secretary and
Treasurer, retain a stock interest in
the new combination.
The new Company propose to add
many improvements,and hope to make
the service satisfactory to the people
Of the Crescent City.
They have in contemplation the
building of q number of "extra terri
torial" lines, connecting the city
with the towns and cities in the int.
rior. In fact, they have already COM
menced building a line to connect
New Orleans with Baton Rouge, Port
Hudson, Jackson, Bayou Sara and
Woodville. This line will probably
be extended to Nicl<sburg.
Many of the parties identified with
this new enterprise ore interested in
the Cumberland Telephone Company,
of which Capt. Mars Is the General
Manager, and with the Evansville
company, Of which E. S. Babcock, Jr
is the President.
They are men Of experience in the
telephone business, and have been
very successful with their several
properties.
They bring energy and experience
to this new field (new to them), and
hope to demonstrate that they are
worthy of the confidence and support
of the people OF Louisiana and Missis.

A relic of the olden time, a linl;
with the past is gone from our midst.
Old "uncle" Harry Harris Martin
(colored) died yesterday, aged ninety
seven years. He was faithful slave,
and after he was free, loyal to 'his
family" as he termed his former
owners. He was their coachman, for
fifty years, preceding the war, and
continued in that position, after that
era, until too feeble to handle the
reins. He told with laudable pride,
of the day on which he drove the
carriage of his young mistress (the
mother of Mrs. DR. Strong, of this
place. near in the rear Of La Fayette's
chariot, at the reception given in
Milledgeville, to "Georgia's distin-
guished guest" He was an humble
and hopeful christian, honest and
true; there are few left, Of his type.

The New Mississippian wants. a
primary election in Kinds county for
the nomination of officers. If he OBJ
tains its wish a Single experiment
will satisfy it. There may be such a
thing as stocking" a delegate Con
yention on account of the failure OF
the best men to turn out to the
primaries, but we have never known
it to be done; yet when it comes to a
primary election, there are countless
possibilities for fraud, and candidates
in their eagerness to secure nomina-
ton will frequently avail themselves
of the vote Of men who cannot be de-
pended upon to support the ticket
when nominated.
There may be heart burnings
among candidates over the results Of
Conventions, but in primary elections
this feeling is always shared to a
large extent by the supporters of the
vanquished aspirants, and the nomi-
nees seldom secure a full party vote.

II Mr. Henry Watterson has any
desire to maintain reputation for
accuracy in the field Of political
prophecy, he had better "hedgo' on
his prediction that Randall will not
get ten votes for Speaker from the
South. More than that number of
Southern members are openly advo-
eating and working for Randall's
election. This is stated simply as o
political fact, and not W til the view
Of booming Mr.. Randall, or Of de-
tracing from the canvass of any of
his rivals Washington Star.
We think it quite likely that q
close canvass Of tho members elect
of the 46th Congress will show that
Randall is likely to enter the Demo-
cratic caucus with the following votes
from the States that are covered by
tho phrase Solid South" Delaware

Carolina l, Maryland 3, South Carr

these there are twelve or fourteen
other Southern Congressman whose

OF Randall, but who may DO deferred
from supporting him,

OHIO.

The nomination of Judge Faraker
by the Republican State Convention
of Ohio, last week, though a fore
gone conclusion. before the meeting
Of the assembly, was nevertheless
brought about with the greatest
difficulty; as it was manifest from
first to last that John Sherman was
the choice of a great majority Of the
delegates, and it took all the man
agement of that astute politician, and
all of his eloquence, and all of his
skill as presiding officer of the Con
vention, coupled with his positive re-
fusal to accept if chosen, to prevent
his being put in nomination by his
blind adherants and carried through
with whirl IN fact a number Of
the delegates in their speeches pro-
claimed their belief that he was the
only man in the State who could be
elected Governor on the Republican
ticket.
1t is a great relief to the Demo
cratic party, however, that sherman
was not nominated, for it would have
given to the canvass national
aspect, and forced the beginning Of
the campaign for President year in
advance of SCHEDULE time" 1t would
have been regarded in all quarters as
Sherman's bid for the Republican
nomination, and he would certainly
have been entitled to it if no came
victorious out of the fight for Gov
ernor. As it is, the contest is without
other than local significance, and in
wolves no other issue than the ques-
ton as to whether the Constitution
of the State shall be so amended as
to require license tax for retailing
liquor in OHIO such as is justly. eX-
acted and paid in Mississippi.
OF course Ohio is a Republican
State, and though we managed to
carry it last year on account Of the
local issues that divided the Repub-
licans, and may succeed next Octo-
Der under similar circumstances, we
have little or no reason to hope to
add it to our column in 1884,
We shall observe with interest a
canvass in which the Republicans
are led by candidate nominated by
a convention that wanted another
man.
