We understand a number OF
parties from Pamela county have
been summoned before the
Federal grand jury at Oxford.
While there seems such a des-
perate effort to draw out some
thing injurious to the Democ-
racy, why not give the public
a little light upon the methods
and ways by which such politi-
cal hirclings as Scott Martin,
Fields g. Co., were sent out
over this county. The thing
looks very one-sided, and the
only effect is to build up sympa
thy for Manning.

THE FEDERAL IURIEs:
jackson Clarion.I

We have quoted statements
from the Oxford papers contra
dieting the report that the
grand and petit iuries of the
Federal Court, in session at
Oxford, had been empannelled
so as to contain partisan ma
iorities for the indictment and
convictions of persons accused
of violating the federal election
laws. In reply to the denial
of the Oxford press, the Holly
Springs South says: 'aa
"The OXFORD EAGLE insists
that the Federal Court grand
and petit juries at that place
are not made up to accomplish
partisan ends, but composed or
Democrats, Republicans and
Greenbackers. If the kepubll-
cans claim and obtain the solid
negro vote, we should like to
know how it is that a grand
Jury made up of fifteen negroes
and three white men can be SO
divided. Three white men can
make but ono democrat, one re-
publican and one greenbacker,
with the fifteen Republicans
added. We are a little puzzled
to see how our Oxford contem
porary can make the division so
as to indicate at least two OF
each party. AS to the petit Ju
rors, if they are all made up by
the same hand tno matter how
honestly intended), the same
presumptions seem to follow.
| If the Democrats escape service
by showing cause OF discharge
because they have families ana
business. how does that alter
the matter as to the result when
the negroes are all willing to
serve at two dollars q day and
are accepted"
From this statement, coupled
with other representations, we
infer that the juries originally
drawn, did not contain a ma
Iiority of persons opposed to the
Democratic purity, but that the
court in a spirit of accommo
dation excused from service
democrats who had been EN-
panneled and who asked to o.
relieved, thus leaving the Jurle
lin the control of the oppositioh
If this be true, it suggests tina
while censure is visited upo'
the court, Democrats who leav
their friends to the tender mel
cies of jjuries that have part
san ends to accomplish, az
not free from blame.

The Accumulation Of Wealth

j U0 RCCuiUut0&sVU W
In the course Of am address
in Now Orleans.on Prisons and and
Asylums, tho Rey. DE-. Hugh
Miller Thompson, uttered these
words of truth, aud we may
add, of warning:
THE Duke Of wellington said
there was nothing more terri.
BILE than a, great victory, except
a great defeat. THE path Of civ
ilization Is strewn with the
wounded and dead. Every sue,
cess OF a mar is it stlie expense
OF a victim. Civilization is
based on a fvof theory of life.
Business is conducted on that
principle. II is on this theory
that Wall street aud Carondelet
street exist; that most people
are doing their business. Ills
get all you .can honestly grab
all your hands can lay hold Of
Yc ur neighbpr has grabbed in
his turn and got all he could.
The man that grabs the most
is the most honorable man.
This is not altogether to be
condemned. 1t opens up ave-
nues of advancement for men in
the world.
1t is a very rough sort OF n
plan, and nowhere does it come
out in all its harshness as in this
country. 1--WE have no heredi-
tary wealth. very mans
wealth can be counted in terms
Of so many scalps which he has
taken in the strife. When one
goes to the highest rank of rich
men, say a man like old Wander
bilt, he has a hundred million
scalps. When you go to a man
like that and, ask for money on
the Christian idea that he holds
it in trust from God, he laughs
lat you and you can't get it into
his head that wealth is respon-
sibility, or that a man in the
United States should not do
with his money just as be
chooses. The consequence is
that the possession of wealth IN
this country is demoralizing
not only to the men who own 1t
but to everybody. Why thu
man who steals $500 should b'
sent to the penitentiary, and HI
who steals Sl00. .0Q0to Congress
the victim can't understand
, Or why the man who steal
enough to support his family 70
weeks is branded a felon, an,
the man who has stolen enougl
, to build a. house on Fifth Ave
nue. is held in great honor, ant
all the military companies .turl
out ut his funeral. The unfort
unate gambler is taken up, an
, occupation considered disgrace
