Rector Winchester, of Christ Church ,deliv-
cred beautiful address. Willie Bearden

"COpith Shakes Hands with

A conservative Democrat furnishes
the Copiahan with the following eX
PLANTATION of the above mysterious
sentence, which we reproduce tor the
benefit of Senator Hoar and Major
Barksdalr, neither one of whom
could properly interpret It:
The Ninth judicial district is composed Of
the couuties OF COprah, Kinds, Maids N and
Yazoo. In the Demncaaiic Convention
which met at jackson to nominate a District
Attorney, there were four candidates, one
from each county in the district. There was
a dead lock in the convention, and when it
became apparent that none OF the then can
didates could receive majority of votes, the
Yazoo man, Col. w. d. Gibbs, withdrew in
favor ola COpiah county man, Hon. X. \
Miller, who was nominated by the cOnvcn-
ton. In the last canvass COpiah and Yazoo
had straight GU. Democratic tickets, opposed
by Independents, while Kinds and Madison
had Fusion tickets, Democrats and Repub-
licahs} opposed by Independents. Hence,
when it WAS ascertuined that the Democratic
nominee tor district-attorney had tceiyrda
majority of votes and was elected, Copiah
shook hands With Yazoo over the r'sull--
that is, rrjoiced with her and mutually con-
graduated each other upon straght-"ut

Hance B. Penn and L. d. Yates, brother-ln- law of

Shots fired, eight ny the killing party and two by
Rails. -Four of the eight took effect, one in the

one of which DR.. Oats, examining physician,
says would have been fatal All the shots taking

dead man has also severe cuts from dlrk-One
in the throat and another just behind the ear.
His skull is also fractured by blow over the
head, which is supposed TO have be en- given with
a pistol after being emptied.

verdict as above described, holding the three
parties first named, who are now in jail.

The Bonded Whisky Bill.

The bonded whisky bill, by which
it was sought to release from internal
revenue tax for years to come, many
millions of gallons Of whisky, the
period of which FIR remaining in the
bonded warehouses Ofthe government
is about to expire, has been very
properly defeated by a large ma
jority in the house Of representatives
There is now remaining in these
bonded warehouses whisky enough
to pay a tax Of $70,000,000 at the
rate Of internal revenue taxation
now levied upon It's manuiat ture.
In these warehouses it has already
been kept, free of charge by the
government, for nearly three years.
In other words the government has
been loaning to the whisky makers
$4,000, 1000 annually, without interest,
and with the utmost care taken
against its loss.
The free traders Of the Henry
Watterson school have been the most
clamorous for the continuance of this
subsidy from the government, this
protection to the manufacture of a
useless and pernicious article. The
same class of politicians in times
past when hemp was the staple
article of Kentucky, were very good
high protectionists so far as their
own particular product was concern
ed, and Henry Clay, Kcntuckian
was the great advocate, if not the
father of the American protective
system.
1t is astonishing what a difference
it makes with people as well as
with an individual, "whose OK is
gored." These Kentucky free traders
who are so anxious to see the pro
ducts of everybody else made free.
are willing to vote a bounty of many
millions year to their own whisky
makers. 1t is we'll that their own
chalice is commended to their own
lips, and that the lesson has been
taught them that they must swallow
their own medicine as we'll as their
ueighbors.
The effect of compelling the pay
ment Of this large amount of internal
revenue will be to increase the reve
nues Of the government by that
amount and thus render the surplus
It'll more excessive. This will of
course make the necessity of reduc-
ing taxation in some manner still
more apparent, and it would seem
that the low tariff men would favor il
on that account. But we find that
the bonded extension was most Wig
orously supported by the very poll
ticians who are loudest in their out
cry for low tariff and free trade.
Such consistency we cannot under
stand.-Ndtchez Democrat.

THE editor of the Vicksburg Com

uuenviahle nOtoriety OF late as n
Bonrsoa of the Bourbons, denies the
charge that he was "a negro leader
a few years ago when he wanted to
90 to the State Senate so badly. He
says he ran that race as a Conserv
alive Democrat, and ''irInly believes
he was elected by hundreds Of votes"
Ii he was regarded as Conservative
Democrat at that time aud was

it would now be in order for him to
also explain to the public why it
was that he was c0aated out instead

after all. Warren Democrats regarded
him as N negro organizer and gave
him in advance a mild dose of tn,
