SuicfG de of Gen. Abe BufOrd.

Our readers who were acquainted
with this eccentric and kind old gen
tleman and soldier, will be shocked
to hear of his death by his own hand,
at the residence of his nephew, in
Danyille, Indiana, on the 9th. The
account of the sad occurrence which
is given in a press dispatch from In
dianappolis, concludes as follows:
''The General had come to Dan
vile to visit relatives and see the
races. He seemed much depressed
as he had lost almost all who were
dear to him, and was in his old age
penniless. He returned to his room
Just after breakfast, and shot himself
in the head, dying without a struggle.
The remains were sent to Lexington
Ky, in accordance with his written
request"
Gen. Buford was gallant soldier
in two wars, and an honest turfman.
He leaves in every State in the South
and West many devoted friends to
mourn his loss. Here where he was
well known, and where his annual
presence in the Judges stand at our
Grounds was always an
assurance of fair play in the speed
ring, he will be missed and mourned
almost as much as in his beloved
Kentucky home.

Delegate Demas, of Louisiana, in
an interview with Times Democrat
reporter gives the. following report
of the manner in which Blaine work
ed up his Chicago boom:
"Why he employed all of the rail
roads coming into Chicago, to work
for him, and the roads were sending
thousands and thousands of people
into the city free, and he had six Or
seven clappers and stampers on the
floor of the room to raise tremend-
Gus racket whenever his name was
mentioned. But he will be elected,
sure, continued the delegate"

EDITORIAL MATTER
Samuel j. TiIden Declines.
from Trl-Weekly issues Of Monday and Frida

Samuel J. Tilden has declined the
Presidency of the United States; has
refused to accept an honor for which
many an ambitious man would have
given even the price that Garfield
paid. The event is without prece-
dent or parallel, and is not likely to
be repeated in all the generations
that will succeed US.
The letter of resignation-for it
was nothing else-is the work of a
statesman. No man could have phras-
cd it who had not lived its spirit and
drank inspiration from a fountain
that commingled the bitterness of
retrospection with the glorious tri-
umph of complete vindication and
thorough appreciation.
1t said nothing that should have
been left unsaid, and it left nothing
to be said by others. Its sadness was
because of the inability of its author
to bear the burdens that his country
men sought to place upon his shoul-
ders, and he insisted upon withdraw
ing from the championship simply
and solely because of the certainty
Of fruition that would have encour-
aged men who cared more for them
selves than for their country, to step
to the front.
He could not have published that
letter sooner, for until it became alb
solutely certain that he was to be the
nominee he had nothing to decline;
he waited until the last shadow of
doubt was dissipated-until it was
evident that he was almost the unani-
nous choice of his party; until it was
certain that he would be called to
the helm, and then invoking Gods
blessing upon those whose call he
was forced to decline; upon the coun-
try to whose service he was physi-
cally unable to contribute; upon those
who would be called upon to lead
the column to victory and enjoy the
frtits of victory, he begged to be |
permitted to withdraw forever from
4 field in which he had done battle
'or half a century.
There are many other good and
true men to lead US; nature does not
admit of vacuum in any sphere or
of affairs, yet no matter
who may be selected at Chicago next
month to march at the head of the
column, it will be q sourse
of regret, even in the ecstatic hour
Of triumph, that the man who is to
wear the laurels is not the man from
whom the high place was wrested by
fraud, in 1877,

Major R. @. Patty, of Noxubee
county, can probably show the heav-
lest heeces that have been clipped in
the State this spring, and we doubt
whether they can be beaten any
where. From ten head of Cotswold
grades-half ''native breed" little
over one year old, he obtained ninety
pounds of wool. One of these heeces,
weighing little over ten pounds,
will go to the credit of Noxubee coun-
ty in the Mississippi Department Of
theNew Orleans Exposition.

The River and Harbor Bill vii
pass both Houses, excluding the
item of 100000 for the Hennepin
Canal. So far as we are locally con-
celned this is the most important
river and harbor bill yet reported,
for thanks to the persistent efforts
of Representative Muldrow the
item for the Improvement of the
Tombigbee river stands this year
alone, as a separate proposition, in =
stead of being merged as usual in an
appropriation "ior the improvement
of the Warrior and Tombigbee
rivers" This year each river stands
upon its own merits, and each will
draw. upon its own appropriation,
and as natural result each will re.
ceive due attention. 1t has not been
this way therefore.

1t to those Of soldier entering a bat
lie, but did not withhold the entire
consideration Of my powers to the
public service.
Twenty years of continuous malad
mlnlstratlon under the demoralizinr
| influence of intestine war, and of bad
hnance, have infected the whole
Government system of the United
States with cancerous growths of false
constructions and corrupt practices.
Powerful classes have acquired pecu-
liar interests in official abuses, and
the moral standard Of people has been
impaired. 10 redress the evils is a
work of great difficulty and labor,and
cannot be accomplished without the
most energetic and efficient and per
sonal action on the part of the chief
executive Of the republic. The can
yass and the administration which it
is desired that | should undertake
embrace a period Of nearly FIVE years,
nor can | admit any illusions as to
their burdens. Three years of ex-
PeFlence in the endeayor to reform
the municipal government of the city
OF New York, and 2 years experience
II renoYating the administration Of
the State Of New York have made me
familiar with the requiremel Its of such
a work, Al the present time the con
sIderaJIons which induced my actions
IN 1880 have become imperative. /
ought not to assume to a task which
l have not the physical strength to
carry through, To reform the ad-
mlnlstration Of the Federal Govern
ment, to realize my own ideal, and to
fulfill the Just expectations Of the
people would indeed warraut,as they
could alone Compensate, the sacrifices
which the undertaking would involve.
but III my condition of advancing
years, and declining strength, I feel
no assurance Of my ability to accom-
Plish these objects.
l am therefore constrained to say
definitely that can not assume the
llbors Of an administration, or Of d
canvass. Undertaking. in no wise
that best gift of Heaven, the occasion
and power sometimes bestowed upon
mere individual to communicate an
impulse for good, grateful beyond all
words to my fellow countrymen who
would assign such benedcent func-
ton, l am consoled by the reflection
that neither the Democratic party,nor
the Republic for whose future that
party is the best guarantee, is now
Or ever can be dependent upon any
one man for their successful progress
III the path Of noble destiny. Having
given to their welfare whatever of
health or strength l possessed, orI
could borrow from the future. and
having reached tho term Of my ca
pacity for such labors as their welfare
now demand, I but submit to the will
Of God in deeming my public career
forever closed.

THE State Convention at Jackson Oh
Wednesday, is said to have been one Of
the finest bodies OF men ever assembled
at the Capitol, and certainly embraced
many of the most able and prominent
gentlemen of Mississippi. 1t was pre-
sided over by that lifelong Democrat,
Hon. H. NJ. Street, of Prentiss county,
| while Messrs. Edgar S. Wilson and r.
Fl. Henry, of the Jackson press were the
Secretaries.
Among other actions of the Conven-
tion was the appointment of those pa
triotic gentlemen, General e. G. Wal
thall, of Grenada county; Hon. w. A.
Percy. of Washington county; DR..
Kearns, of Holmes, and Senator r. O.
Reynolds, of Monroe, as delegates from
the State at large to the Chicago Con-
vention of July 9th, while two delegates
besides were selected flom each Con-
gressional District, Messrs. @. A. John
ston, of Lowndes, and James Kincau-
non, of Lee, being the choice from this,
the FIRST District. Hon. j. A. Greene,
of Alcorn county, was appointed Elector
for the First Congressional District
A new State Executive Committee was
also appointed, consisting of two from
each Congressional District aad five
from the State at large. The members
from State at large are Messrs Oliver
Clifton, J. a. Barksdale, S. A. Jonas,
J. +. Sessions and Maury f. Smith.
The committee organized at the Edwards
House on Wednesday night by electing
Mr.. Clifton as Chairman.
Altogether it was perhaps the most
enthusiastic Democratic Convention
ever held in the State, all the members
seeming to be thoroughly imbued with
the conviction that the nominees at Chi
cago next month will be the successful
candidates at the polls in November.
