The frequent bitter attacks upon
Hon. Sam Randall that appear in
certain prominent papers in Wash
ington and other large cities, that
assume to be Democratic, can hardly
be accounted for on any hypothesis
except that of purchase by parties
anxious to break down the character
and impair the influence of this emf
nent patriot and statesman, in view
of the possibility of his name being
presented to the Convention at Chi
cago by the delegation from his State.
This same policy was resorted to
in reference to Mr.. Payne, the Sem
ator-ele from Ohio, few weeks
ago, and persisted in until these
papers alarmed by the marked de-
crease in their daily sales began to
appreciate the storm of indignation
they had aroused, and sought q new
target.

The Dynamite Fiends.

France has determined to expel all
persons suspected of being "dyna-
miters." We presume they will come
to this country at once as America
seems to be the peculiar home Of
dynamite fend, and all other cranks
In Brooklyn, Chicago, and other cities
the Ishmaelites of the whole universe
seem to congregate, and at open, or
ganized meetings discuss plans and
methods of transatlantic murder.
1t is time that the sanity Radicals
who grow frantic over recitals Of oc-
casional Southern "outrages," should
thinks of sweeping before tleir owl
doors. Some day these rascally dyna-
miters may conclude to explode their
Internal cartridges On this side of the
ocean.

ONE of the witnesses introduced by
ex-Speaker Keifer to sustain his
charges against Gen. Boynton, was
Charles Garfield, Of Cleveland, Ohio,
a cousin of the ex-President. OF
course his sworn testimony was
generally discredited. The veracity
of the Garflelds has never been ac-
corded very envious rank in Wash
ington. No one ever placed much
confidence in either their promises or
their testimony.

Mcdonald and Bayard.

IT is said that Mcdonald and Bayard
have formed an offensive and defensive
alliance for the Democratic Presidential
nomination. There is too much free
trade favor about each Of them to suit
the present temper of the people OF this
great country Vicksburg Post.
The two able gentlemen above refer
red to, belong to class of illustrious
Americans who are never parties to any
compact or alliance that involves their
personal political for, ,unes; and neither
one of them would allow his own ambi-
ton TO he for one moment an obstacle
if the success of the Democratic party
II xt November could be more certainly
promoted-in the opinion of their ad>
visers-by the selection of another for
the Presidential nominee. Sc far MS
"free trade favor" is concerned. Me-
Donald is understood to stand hatfooted
upon the Ohio platform, which has been
accepted by even such Eastern protec>
tionists as Eaton, of Connecticut and
Randall, of Pennsylvania, as fair compro,
mise ground, while Bayard of Delaware
has always been recognized as the ex,
ponent of fair and liberal protection
while at the same time the opponent Of
any system that fosters to the extent of
creating monopoly.
Either of these distinguished gentle
men it nominated will lead the Demo-
cratic column to victory if supported by
platform that advocates what Andrew
Jnckson called "a judIcious tariff. No
two men in America are farther remov~
ed from the faint of "Free Trade
which means direct taxation-than Nc.
Donald and Bayard, and no two men
have less sympathy for a system of i'm
port duties that simply proposes taking
money out of the pockets of the many
for lolgpment in the pockets of the few.

THE Democratic members of the
Senate Investigating Committee sent
to the Sonth in regard to the Copiah
county matter, express regret that
they were not able to obtain the
photographs of the white witnesses
in the case. They say that if the

prosecution and defence could be
published in the pictorial papers of
country, the reputation of the Dem,
ocratic masses Of Copiah would need
no other vindicatiop.

IT is estimated that at least four
hundred highly bred Jersey cattle
will be added to the stock of Mis-
sssippi this season az the product
of the herds now in the possession Of

porlations will be made, while quite
a number Of young males and heifers
will be sold to breeders in Texas,

The House of representatives on
the 3rd inst, under a suspension OF

thirds vote, passed the bill to PEN

as passed is substantially the same
as that published in the Examiner a
few weeks ago except that it strikes
out the clause applying to the sol
diers of the Indian wars.
We have no reason to doubt its
passing the Senate, in which event
We will publish the bill as approved

WE do wish that the two excellent
Dailies of Vicksburg, the Herald and
the Post, would cease their eternal
quarrel. If it is interesting to their
local readers we are mistaken in our
estimate of that community, for this
everlasting combat is anything but
agreeable to readers elsewhere. In
our opinion, and we venture TO ex-
press it in disinterested friendship.
this quarrel has the effect of weaken.
ing the influence of both journals in
the State, and of exciting continual
question and doubt as to the senti>
ments of the people and party they
jointly represent, upon numerous
public topics; and we imagine, per-
haps wrongfully, that the ambition
to oppose each other frequently ac,
counts for their dividing upon lines
where they would otherwise har
monize.
If, they will pardon the suggestion,
and attribute it to the kindness that
certainly dictates it, we would say
that the Daily press of Vicksburg is
capable of exercising powerful in
fuence in this State when its Demo-
cratic members are at peace with
each other, but that its influence is
vastly weakened despite the ability
of its management, by the lack of
harmony that exists.
II like the fellow who undertook to
settle coniugal difficulty, we have
intruded, we beg pardon and will
make the most expeditions retreat
that the circumstances of the case
will admit of.

EDITORIAL MATTER.
rom Tri-we ekly issues fMon day nd friday
Chalmers Constitutional Dis
qualification.

1t seems from an official commune
cation from Attorney General Brew
ster, that Gen. Chalmers was appoint
ed by him to the position of Special
Assistant United States Attorney tc
prosecute alleged election frauds in
the Courts of the Northern and South
ern Districts of Mississippi, on the
9th of December 1882, and that on
the 26th day of February 1884 he
was still in the employment of the
Government. Now Section 8, Article
1st of the Constitution of the United
States, declares as follows:
"* No person holding any
office under the United States shall
be member of either House during
his continuance in Office"
And the House in all cases of con-
test that have arisen involving this
question, has held that if the party
holds office under the Government
after the meeting of the Congress to
which he claims to have been elected
he by that act vacates the seat or his
claims to the seat. A notable case
in point was that of Gen. Frank Blair,
who though Congressman elect, saw
fit to remain in the army as the holder
of Generals commission under the
Federal Government for few weeks
after the assembling Of the House of
Representatives, in order to partici-
pate in an impending engagement;
yet his great personal popularity, his
renown as soldier, and the patriotic
impulse that prompted the delay were
impotent to save him; even in those
revolutionary and comparatively law
less tunes this constitutional barrier
received due recognition, and the
House held that he had by the reten-
ton of his commission and command
after the assembling of Congress,
vacated the seat to which he was un-
questionably elected.
From this it will be seen that what
ever may be the issue of the contest
"upon the merits" in the case Of Chal-
mers VS. Manning, Chalmers has,
whether willingly or unwittingly,
erected barrier that will effectually
close the doors of the 48th Congress
against him.

The Rebate on Tobacco.

Mr.. Randall, chairman of the Com
mittee on Appropriations ofthe House
of Representatives, read report
from the Commissioner of Internal
Revenue to that body, on Monday
last, showing that the Department
would be able to settle all claims for
rebate on tobacco within three
months. Many of these claims are
due to Mississippi merchants.
Mr.. Randall after making this an
nouncement, said;
can intimation had crept into pub
tic notice that persons having claims
by the employment of agents at FIVE
per cent commission could get pre-
cedence in the consideration Of their
claims. He wanted to say to the
House and the claimants that there
was no occasion whatever for claim
ants to go to any expense to secure
the payment of their money. If they
employed agents after this statement
they would do SO Of their own voG-

THE shipments Of specie to Europe
from New York on the 4th inst,
amounted to about two millions of
dollars. 1t looks as though the "bal-
ance of trade" for 1884, was going
against us. This is attributed to two
ca lses: First the blockade of the
German and French markets against
"the American hog" and secondly
to the fact that the West is holding
wheat at higher prices than will JUS
tify export. This great decrease in
the export trade is forcing the pay
ment Of foreign commercial debts in
specie.
