The report made By the gentlemen above
named contains the statement that the Kate
Adams ran
THIRTY FIVE MINUTES UNDER "sLow BELLS"
which is another one of the "ifs" that pre-
vented her beating the Lees time. In this
connection we will slate that the smoke OF
the Adams was seen behind Presidents
Island at 3:15 o'clock, which allowed her
thirty-on minutes TO arrive here in FIVE hours
and ten minutes, as she proposed 10 do when
leaving Helena, and it was thought by many
that she would do it easily. But the smoke
disappeared behind the Fort Pickering hills
and was Invisible so long that
SOME ANXIETY
was awakened, many believing that some
accident had happened to her. This anxiety
was somewhat intensified when the tug
Desoto, which had stood off on the Arkansas
side opposite Fort Pickering, steamed of
down the river, apparently going to see what
had become of the Adams. This incident
corroborates the report of the time-keepers
about
THE TIME LOST
at Presidents Island repairing machinery.
1t was not long, however, before the smoke
from the Adams's chimneys was discovered
curling above the point at Fort Pickering,
and soop her nose was discovered coming
out of the chute. Watches were drawn and
time kept from that moment until Beale
street was passed, the run being made in
NINE AND THREE. FoURTHs MINUTES.
The action Of the pilots in holding to the
Tennessee side was variously criticised, the
msjority arguing that they should have
crossed over to the Arkansas side where the
current was not SO strong. The Lee took
the latter course, and some say made the
run quicker, but We have no record Of the
time made.
THE ARRIVAL
OF the Adams was witnessed by hundreds OF
citizens, including many ladies. attracted 10
the bluff by the roar OF the Little Demo-
crat," which continued TO belch salvos Of
welcome az long as the stock of explosives
lasted. Although the Kate Adams did not
wipe up the Lees record, she made a
bully run and gave evidence that there is
more in her than yesterdays experiment de-
veloped. We think that Capt. Cheek would
be justified in making another effort.

Mr.. G. Menelas of Brookhaven, is
in the city. He came down to re-
ceive and attend to the delivering of
some 5000 pounds of jute seed,
which he bias brought from India.
The consignment; however, did not
arrive, but is expected on the next
New York steamer. Mr.. Menelas
expressed great confidence in the
South. This season he will test sew
eral machines that have been in
vented for decorticating, and ex-
poets to be able to announce lmpor-
tant results for the guidance of
those interested. He feels sure
that American ingenuity will be
successful in dispensing with the
manual labor required in cleaning
the fibre, and thinks that, in the
meantime, agriculturists should put
in small plats of iute to familiarize
themselves with the plant and its
cultivation.-New Orleans Pica-

"NOTGLILTY.1


Phil. B. Thompson, Jr. was ao-I
quilted at Harrodsburg, KY, We'd
nesday afternoon; by the jury.
Judge Denny spoke on behalf of the
Commonwealth in the morning, and
was followed by the Hon. Joe Black
burn for the defense. Applause was
suppressed several times by the
Court during Denny's speech The
argument closed at 2:45, and without
a wOrl of further instruction the
Court directed the jury to retire and
make up their verdict. The Court
room was packed as it has not been
during the trial-not a man moved.
Indeed it seemed a physical lmpossi-
bility for anybody to stir: 1t was
expected the verdict would be quick
ly rendered. An hour passed, and
still no verdict. The defendant sat
reading a newspaper, and afterward
read his mail, which was brought to
him.
At last, in one hour and twenty
minutes, a movement in the crowd
denoted that the jury was coming
They got to their places with diff
Guilty. Their names were called
amid deathlilxe stiffness. The YER
dict was asked for. 1t was ready,
"What is it?" said the Court. 1--WE
find the defendant, Phil. B, Thomp-
$780," here the foreman paused and
the suspense was painful until he
added, mot guilty as charged in the
indictment"
One solid shout arose, apparently
from everybody, as the worls ''not
guilty" were uttered and it was quite
a long time before the foreman could
speak the remaining words of the
verdict.
After the Jury was dismissed and
court adjourned the defendant was
almost carried from the Court house
by his jubilant friends. Thompson
himself was not jnbilant. lie wore
an air of relief, but not Of triumph.
1t is limited that a belief in his wife
guilt with Davis is not strong even
among his friends, but it is said the
jury took the view that Thompson
believed the story of her guilt, and
was unable to control his action
when he encountered DAVIS. There
were three ballots by the jury-1C
voted for acquittal on the first and
IL on the next. The result seems to
| give general satisfaction.
When the foreman of the jury an
nounced the verdict, Phil. Thomp-
son, Sr, father of the prisoner, who
was sitting beside his son with q
face ashen pale, exclaimed: "Thank
God! Kentucky wives can now be
protected"

II. c. Carter, vIclsburg. Miss:
DEAR SIR-You are mistaken in
supposing chat i have any special
knowledge of the condition of politi-
cal affairs in Mississippi, as only
see them at a distance strained
through the medium of the different
political papers: therefore / cannot
speak with particularly about Mis-
sissippi.. r.
You also ask me what line of con-
duct L would advise the colored men
of the. South to pursue in political
affairs, 70, that / answer frankly,
look out for yourselves. That is to
say, vote for the best men, whose
life ond conduct you know well, and
who have shown thereby their desire
that equal justice AMI equal rights
shall come to all mon under the law.
No matter what promises are made
by political orat DrS, or what induce
ments are held ont to obtain votes,
4 look to what men have done and
been, and not to what they say they
will do, or will be. If a candidate
for office whom you can trust is in
favor of the education of your chill
dren, the equal taxation of your
property and the protection of your
persons by law, vote. for him what
ever he may be Called politically
1t is a mistake for the colored voters
to vote for one party sohdly, even in
localities where they have the mum
erical majority; but it is equally
their duty to vote for men who will
best represent the interest oil all
You live in q community composed
Of both white aud colored men, and
YOU want to have a peaceful, quiet
life in that community. There are
good men in both parties, and you
will Gbtain the respect of every gooo
man if you will pursue the course
have indicated. By 50 doing you
will lull the passions, and the hard
feelings endangered by the war, and
the disappointments and regrets, i
any, produced by the emancipation
of the colored man, will die out. Il
is of more consequence to the colored
man that he shall have peace anC
prosperity in the community where
he lives, than who is President, oil
who is Senator or Representative tt
Congress. In word; vote for al
good, honest and true men who are
now your friends, and vote against
all men who, by their conduct, hav'
not shown themselves your friends
however loud or persistent thei
promises may be. Remember tina
the Holy Scriptures say "by thei
fruits We shall know them" / an
very truly yours,

THE Crown Prince of Germany is
an earnest Freemason. In recent
able addresses before the York Royal
Lodge, in Berlin, he said Freemasons
should be more progressive; and in
stead of clinging to old traditions,
whose only Importance is their an
tiquity. they should distinguish
themselves by being in the foremost
rank of seekers after new and living
truths" Progress is the watch
word of the day.
TIE trouble over the appointment
of D. Randolph Kcim as Chief Ex-
aminer of the Civil Service Commits

drawing his name; Charles Lyman,
the chief clerk in the office of the u.

ed and at once approved by the
President. The principal objection
to Keim seemed to be that his for
mer connection with Pennsylvania
politics brought his Reform ideas
under suspicion.
