The Asylum has been in continuous ex-
istence for nearly seventy years, during
which time it has prepared for usefulness
and responsibility in life large number
of children committed TO its care 1t
receives children from any part Of the
State the only qualification for admission
being orphanage and honorable parentage.
It's board of managers is composed of ladies
of the several Protestant congregations, and
of the Hebrew congregation, of Matches,
whose reward for all their labors and
anxiety is the consciousness OF doing good.
The only person who receives any COM
pensation is the matron, and that very
moderate The Asylum, in Its control, is
absolutely non-sectarian. The children
have the benefit of the public schools Of
the city, and also attend the Sunday
Schools, and the several churches. There
are about fifty children now in the Asy-
lum, mostly girls. The managers have no
certain income, but depend, for the care OF
these children, upon the charity Of the
public. They are often reduced to great
straits, and feel almost constrained to
abandon their noble work But relief
comes from some unexpected quarter, their
courage is rewarded, and they go ahead.
OF late years, the several Benevolent
Orders of the State have rendered timely
and substantial assistance, and they viii
continue to help as they may have the
ability. But it is the privilege of all to
assist in this noble work, especially in the
present emergency. / therefore make a
general and special appeal to the people
of the State to contribute, as the Lord has
prospered them, to the relief of the
Asylum. If the several Lodges Of
Masons, Odd Fellows, Knights of Pythias
Knights of the Golden Rule and Ameri.
can Legionof Honor, will each make
contribution either from their treasures
or By the individual members, the aggre,
gate response will support the Asylum
for the next six months or more.
Will not every pastor anu every Sunday
School Superintendent in the State bring
this matter before their congregations anG
schools? am sure, if the children of thu
State could be informed of the specia
necessity for their sympathy and help fol
the orphans at Natchez, they would worl
like busy bees for their relief. Indeed
they would never stop until an endOwmen
fund would be raised, the interest on which
would support the Asylum.
All contributions, whether from Lodges
Churches or Sunday Schools or individu
ais, will be specially and publicly &C
knowledged. They can be forwarded I,
Mrs. John Fleming, Treasurer .PrOtestan
Orphan Asylum, Natchez, or to the under
signed. ]. L. Power.
The press of the State will greatly aiC
the Asylum by copying, or stating the sub
stance of the foregoing.

contended for by our contemporary
would deny to an elector the right to
vote as he chooses, and this IS never
done.
We now suggest "an analogy" of our
own: It has always been eontended by
some of our Eisest statesmen that States
had the right to instruct their Senators
and Representatives in Congress; but
none have ever eontended that there vas
power in the Senate or the House to
compel the Senator'S and RspFesentatisea
to obey such instructions. In such 8
case the Constitution, by a failure to
give the power, denies it. While in the
National Convention the power exists,
the reasons for its non-exercise, it seems
to US, are patent, though We haven't
time to discuss them.
An agree that delegates are bound b.
instructions, and that it is an act of bad
faith in them to disregard their iRstruc
tions; but when they do disregard then
they are answerable to their principals
the people who elected them, and not 4
the Convention to which they are &C
credited.
Mississippi win sustain her delegate
il their vote on the "unit rule" be
cause it was in accordance with Stat
precedent, and We trust if the question
be brought before a National Demo
cratic Convention again different con
clusiOn will be reached.

1t has been said that the managers of
Gov. Cleveland's canvass made no mis-
take at Chicago. We think that they
did, when they opposed the right of the
Tammany delegates to cast their own
votes. We are firmly of the opinion
that the object of Tammany, and the
only object, was to show its opposition
to Gov. Cleveland, and this it did more
successfully under the course pursued by
the Convention than it could have done
had its delegates been allowed to vote
for another. More than this, we believe
that they would have yo-ed for Gov,
Cleveland in obedience to instructions
had their right to vote for another been
recognized.

TVF oaArrAHoooHEE TRADE.

The Competition of Savannah with
Rival Ports-The Advantages saVan-
nah Has and How the Trade is 10 De
Secured.
The competition between Savannah and
New Orleans for the trade Of the Chatta-
hoocbea and Flint rivers section, which
belonged wholly to Savannah before the
opening Of the Pensacola and Atlantic
Railroad, Is exciting considerable IN.
terest. The recent reduction IN Irelgnt
rates bv the Louisville and NashYlHe
reaching into Florida for the trade, when
i connefsd for bv both Mobile and New
Orleans with Savannah, from % to % per
cent. below the old rates. has caused an
injury whether a rate war IS Imminent.
A MORNING NEWS reporter, IN CONVEX,
satiOn with prominent Central Railroad
official Yesterday, was assured that what
ever the reduction, the competltloh
being for trade in opposite directions ths
rates would ultimately be the same anu
the matter would rest with the meFcudlIII5I
of the rival ports TO determine which shaI
secure the bulk Of trade.
"What inducements can New orleans
offer for securing the trade from oou'n-
west Georgia and Florida.
None whatever that Savannah does
not offer" , ~
s:How. then, have they secured the
trade Of that territory"
Through the energy of their mer-
chants. Before the Pensacola and Attain
tic Railroad was opened savannah
had control Of all the trade
west Of the Chattahooc1ee.
and the only competition that existed at
ali was among our merchants to deter
mine which should secure the most trade.
Now that the field is entered by rival 1t
Is necessary that some move be made 10
spt the trade. or il will naturally go TO
those who seek it elsewhere. The rail
roads have done with the matter, and IL
now rests with the merchants"
ssWhat rightiul claim have Mobile anu
New Orleans to the trade Of the Chatta-
hOOcheey'
The trade naturally belongs no more
to Mobile and New Orleans than 1t does
10 Savannah. The distance between the
two ports is nearly equal, but When cot
ton for the markets. Of the North and Eu-
rope is taken to New Orleans it IS carried
three hundred miles out OF It's hatural
course, while cotton brought to savannah
is directly in the line Of its transportation.
! After being shipped to the former port
the water course through the Gult
and around the Keys still re-
mains. requiring longer transportation.
| so tar as the advantage of shipment TO
! these ports;is concerned, there is none.
I The transportation is not direct; the cot
/ ton is carried down the river and then re-
Z shipped TO the port of entry In order 10
reach its destination, whilO, on the other
/ hand. it is brought direct to savannah
I and loaded with every possible facility IN
/ a less time and with less expense"
/ There is no prospect then Of a rate
I war;"
There is no necessity for one. What
} ever changes in the schedule are made
I the same rate will be maintained IN both
4 directions. 1t remains with the mer
! chants TO establish the movement Of trade
i'm one direction or the other"
