FAIR RIvER, Nov. %, 1884.
EDITOR LEADER Find enclosed sub
scription % yoar excellent paper, and al
low me space for few words. There are
some people In this world that are al
ways finding fault with some body or
some thing, and to this class belong many
Observation-Disclosures. They know they
are wrong themselves, and are ready to
speak and pruphesy evil of every thing
that opposes them. Therefore it is they
are watching every opportunity to iujure
"the Prohibition, Bible sometimes called
the BROoKIAvEN LEADERl" / am glad
to know though, that all such talk goes
the way of tie wicked. There was n
whole cow-pen full Of ants in this coun-
~ who said at fist that the stand yon
had taken against whisky would break
you, but was talking with one of these
same anti's few days ago and he said he
believed you were getting along better
without the whisky patronage than some
others are with it. "Improbr libenter
teRere ana doRec bora pericWli."
The last attempt of some of these I'M
comfortable anti's who see the handwrit-
ing ON the wall is to gossip around that
You are a Republican. But it won't
work, and would say to all such, Away
with your gossip, you can't hurt THE
LEADER. And il You want to build your
selves up in Lincoln county, sign for Pro-
hibition, quit fusing with the Republi-
cans and running against the Democratic
nominee. Lastly, don't vote for Blaine
any more, and take about two bottles of
the celebrated Indian Blood Syrup and
clean out your system and one of these
days in the sweet-by-aud-by the people
may run you for road ovcrseer.
Finally, Mr.. Editor, would say if you
will furnish me the names of every sub
scriber who sends his paper back saying
he "don't wdRt it," will make it my bus
mess to send you two to ones. You are
o. X. on Democracy and Prohibition, and
publish high-toned, independent and
fair-dealing paper, and the best people OF
this county are going to stand by you.
If some others are not happy on this &C
count it is their own fault.

To Prohibitionfsts- the
Executive Committee.

All Prohibitionists in the State of
Mississippi are urged TO perfect
their county organizations without
delay and report the same to the
Secretary of the State Executive
Committee, Mr.. B. T. Hobbs, at
Brookhaven, Miss. The Rev. j. III.
GamLrell has been elected Cores
ponding Secretary, and will give his
entire time to the field, assisting
where his labors may accomplish
the best and speediest results. We
desire through these county or
CARNATIONS to ask of the next Leg
islature a local option law which
will enable the majority in each
county to determine at the ballot
box the question of ''license" or
prohibition" Our cause has no
further political significance than
such a simple, humble prayer. The
State Convention decided to keep
the issue aloof from party politics If
possible. We are arrayed against
no party or people, but against the
greatest evil Of our land. Our sue
cess depends upon thorough organi-
cation. Independent or divided
action, however sincere, will retard
the certain triumph of constitutional
prohibition. All classes, creeds,
colors and parties are urged to assist
in this grand reform.
BY an early organization we can
ask of every county convention of
the two leading parties if they are
willing to submit the question to
the people in a local option law.
II so, we make no opposition to their
Legislative candidates. If not, we
will favor those who will accord us
the privilege of freedom. We cannot
await the meeting of the Legislature
and have the history of the past
repeat itself. Friends of reform
of the home against the saloon-let
us ORGANIZE. The members Of the
Executive Committee will assist the
Corresponding Secretary as they
may be able.

For Postmaster-General.

We copy the following from the
Vicksburg Post to signify our
unqualified endorsement and ap-
proval. Mississippi does not possess
son more worthy of distinguish
ed honors than fernando DeSoto
Money:
While the press of the country
are making various suggestions of
distinguished citizens of the Re-
public who would make fit members
of Mr. Cleveland's Cabinet, The
Post puts forward the name of the
Hon. H. ID. Money, of Mississippi,
for Postmaster General 1t is
altogether probable that the South
will have at least two members in the
Cabinet, aud of these doubtless the
Postmaster-General will be one.
No better appointment than that
of Mr.. Money, in our Judgment,
could be made. His efficiency,
eminent ability, and fitness for that
particular place is worthily attested
by long career in Congress, and for
most of the time as head of the Post
Office Committee.
1t was he who first exposed in
detail the Star Route frauds, which
years afterward the Garfield ad-
minstration tried to turn to &C,
count by the prosecution it in
stituted; and it was through his
efforts that the two-cent postage law
was adopted, besides the institution
Of numerous other valuable reforms
in that Department. He was also
the author of what 10 known as the
Blair Educational Bill, which he
vainly sought to pass through the
Republican House when Keller was
Speaker.
More than all, he is man OF
unblemished reputation; candid.
honest and honorable in all things;
thoroughly informed, of broad cul-
ture, liberal and conservative in
sentiment; in the prime of youthful
manhood, he truly represents that
progressive phaze of Southern civil
cation sometimes called the new
South. These things we have
written in no spirit of mere adula-
ton, but because we believe that
this appointment would be hailed
as one OF the very best that could be
made, and representative in the
highest degree OF the best sentiment
of the South and its growing and
broadening National spirit.

The Senate.

The discovery of an error in the
vote of Chicago gives the Demo
Gratis control of the Legislature of
Illinois and secures a Democratic
Senator. A Democratic Senator
from Illinois is good news, indeed
as the Democracy is weakened in
the Senate. The Republicans hold
majority in that body which will
enable them to block all reform leg
islatlon, and it looked moreover, as
if they were increasing that majority
They gain a Senator in the next
Congress, securing seats formerly
occupied by Democrats in California
and Oregan, respectively, while the
Democracy gains the Illinois
Senatorship. But for the detection
of the Pacific coast the Senate would
be a tie next year.

Errors in Judicial Instructions,

In a recent decision Of the Supreme
Court, Chief Justice Campbell de-
livering the opinion, the Court
closes with the following language
for the benefit of Circuit Judges:
1t is matter Of much regret by
US that we feel compelled so often
to reverse the judgments in criminal
cases because of serious errors,
which with a little care and atten-
ton could so easily be avoided. We
know very well, as lawyers of ex-
perience, that in fact the instruc-
lions of the court exert but little
influence in producing results in the
criminal prosecutions most common
in our State, but as judges are
obliged to assume that the instruc-
tions are potent factors in shaping
verdicts, since it is the duty of a
jury to follow the instructions of the
court as TO the law of the case.
Therefore when we see that the Jury
has been misdirected, and may have
been misled thereby, our duty is
to grant a new trial. If fewer in
structions were given. and greater
care was observed in framing them,
it would be most favorable to the
interest of The State in the admins
tration of the criminal laws. 10
many cases it would be most wise to
give no instructions at all for the
State, and In none is it prudent to |
give many. BY this course, convic-
tions would be just as numerous,
and reyersals would be rare.

-
How sadly political partisans
sometimes fail to estimate the full
measure of their acts, and how diff
cult for an oppressed people TO FORE
see the cause of their woes
made the agents of their deliverance,
has been aptly illustrated by recent
events. The Republican leaders OF
reconstruction days who, to crafty
their sectional hate, humiliate the
Southern whites and increase their
own political power, forced upon the
South the enfranchisement Of mil
lion ignorant negroes, utterly in
capable of approaching or exercis-
ing the high functions of citizenship,
little realized at the time that they
we're sowing dragons teeth that
would spring up in the good year of
1884, to their own destruction and
overthrow. As little also did the
Southern white people themselves
who were insulted, misruled and
robbed by the carpet bag govern
ments until goaded to desperation,
realize that the means of their
torment would in time be trans
formed into strength for a grand
political deliverance.
Such, however, is the political
history of the last score of years.
The Solid South has 153 of the 20l
electoral votes necessary to the
election of 4 President. OF these
AZ are based by estimate on the vote
of the enfranchised negroes and
which, since the political revolution
of rs, the Democratic party has
been able to cast for the Democratic
candidate for the Presidency, and
without which Mr.. Cleveland would
now be short of election by "a votes
in the electoral college.
Mr.. Blaine and other Republicans
have seen for some time that the
representation based on negro
suffrage in the South would ulti-
mately compass their defeat if not
provided against in some way, and
depriving the negro Of suffrage
again has even been mooted by
some of the party leaders as the
remedy. More than once during
the late campaign, and since in his
Augusta speech, did Mr.. Blaine use
the strength thus acquired by the
Democracy of the South as an oc-
casion for appeal to the sectional
prejudices of his Northern hearers,
falsely assuming that all negroes
are Republicans and if allowed to
cast their votes and have them
counted would go for the Republican
party.
On the other hand, the tables
having so completely turned in their
favor, it would be political suicide
for the Democrats to favor any
move looking to the disfranchise,
ment of the negro, and it is safe to
conclude that under the wise, con
sentative and patriotic administra-
ton of President Cleveland there
will be complete breaking up OF
old prejudices among the colored
people of the South, and that here
after they will flock to the Demo
cratic party by thousands.
On the whole there seems much OF
poetic justice as we contemplate the
subject.
