The Whisky Pool.

CINCINNATI, August III. B. Mil
Ter, who has been a leading spirit in
the whisky pool ever since its organl-
cation, has been in the city two days
endeavoring to reorganize for the
coming year. A protracted meeting
was held this afternoon. Mr.. Miller
declares the result total failure, and
the case hopeless. The whole
trouble seems to rest on two or three
parties here, as everywhere else the
agreement was unanimous in favor of
the pool. The whisky men say the
result must inevitably cause over
production.

A TENNESSEE MYSTERY,

FROM the Globe-Democrat.
CHATTANOOGA, TENN, July 16.-
This entire section of country Is
thrown into tumult of excitement
over the singular disappearance Of q
young man named John A. Neal,
member Of very prominent family
of Huntsville, Ala. Neal was private
secretary for Miss Maud st. Pierre.
She is very wealthy, and recently has
invested nearly quarter of million
dollars in southern mining lands.
About six weeks ago, she bought
1900 acres in Franklin county,
Tenn, for $4,000 cash. After the
transaction Neal was sent to the
tract to look after certain timbers.
While there he fell ill, and went to
the hotel at Anderson, Tenn. He re-
covered, and on Sunday, June is, was
entirely well. About 8 a. m. he left
the hotel for a walk through the
woods, and at noon was seen on top
of the mountain, setting by the road
side plucking flowers. Twenty min
utes afterwards the hotel clerk, be
coming alarmed at his absence, went
in search of him. He went to the
spot where he was last seen, but no
trace whatever was found. A large
posse secured the mountain, but
without avail. Miss st. Pierre
was sent for and employed
twenty-five men, and instructed them
to search night and day and spare no
expense. Boats were built and every
stream for ten. miles was dragged;
caverns, abysses and gulches were
thoroughly searched. Skilled detec-
tives were put to work in all neigh
boring cities and towns, and railroad
agents and conductors were put on
guard. but as yet no trace whatever
has been found. The lady says her
accounts were left all right, and Meal
did not have one cent of her money IN
his possession. He was in good Cir
cumstances and in good spirits. a
few days since man was heard to
exclaim in a crowd if Miss st. Pierre
will offer 81, 600 ransom Neal viii be
produced. The man was looked for
but could not be found, The case az
tracts much interest and Comment,
and no light whatever can be shed on
the deep mystery.

Mormonism.

Another effort is being made by Con-
gress, in answer to the demands of civil
ization, to put an end to the debasing
influence of the Mormon church.
If no experiment of that kind had
ever been tried, consideration Of the
Senate bill on that subject, recently
passed, would satisfy any friend of Vir-
tue, that the days of polygamy in the
United States were few and full Of
trouble. But when other fruitless at
tempts to eradicate this eating cancer
are considered in connection with the
difficulty, nay, the impossibility, of con,
trolling religious convictions by statutes
an approximate estimate of the alarm
ing vitality of the polygamous princi.
pies of the Mormon religion may be
formed. @
Elsewhere we publish very readable
review of the Senate bill, by the Chicago
Times, from which it would seem that
the present measure, though constitn-
tional, like those which have preceded
1t, Is destined to be failure; and there
are many who believe that the Senate
has transcribed constitutional limits in
some of its proposals.

..Tidings from the South -Amits
County Heard From.

EnIToR CHARIoN:. We have been a
raadar of The CLARION for number of
wears and it is seldom anything ever
snnears in its columns from this grand
Ma county of Amite. The reason we
cannot say; it is not for want of intelli.
gence. for she certainly has not been
aisarf ap.oag the prophets in performing
her burdens in the past, or being among
the first on the stage of Democratic
sction; and the fact that she has here
tofore been so remotely situated, almost
two dozen miles from everywhere, now
reduced to twelve by the NJ. V. Railroad,
4 not a sufficient reason to exclude her
from the no1 p0pUli on general interests
Of the State. A few years ago she bore
the frosts of enchanted distance by re-
norts of lawlessness and crime, princi-
nallv from the fact that she planted her
coIors of retrenchment and reform, and
Stood by them amidst all the hazards
of determination, but notwithstanding
has ever been staunch to Democracy and
true to her nominees.
We are an honest, industrious aud
law-liying people; new avenuesare being
onened for the development of resources,
and il is to be hoped that ere long We
can compare favorably with the
Weather portions of the State. But
few public lands remain Impoverished
besides Il general increase in the value
of all; and, altogether, we are emerging
from the depressions of carpet-bagism
and high taxation to plain where how-
ers always bloom and a ray always
bright from a genial sun. The races
are comparatively in political harmony,
and are becoming more so as education
Is more developed and the interest of
the two are more thoroughly appTe-
ciated. We have homes for the honest,
industrious immigrant from whereso.
ever they come.
We dare to place upon the altar OF
nomination for Auditor the name of A.
]. Wilmington, one of Antics ncblest
sons. His career as public man is too
we'll known to need comment. He is
qualified in every sense, and if nomi-
mated, we believe, will receive the united
vote of South Mississippi We endorse
Gov. Lowry in full terms for a second
term. Will give him hearty Gift" At
the polls this fall. Will go for Maj.
VanEaton open handed and "hope ever
for Mai. Barksdale. Tilden is our first
choice for President, but losing him we
want Speaker Carlisle.
