Judge ]. d, Chrisman, of Brook
haven, spent Friday in jackson, en-
route to Issaquena county, where
he goes to hold the December term
of the Circuit Court for Judge
Trimble. He is one of the best and
most popular judges in the State.
He was first appointed Judge in
1877, by Governor Stone, when he
was not an applicant for the place.
He reluctantly agreed to give up
his large and lucrative law practice
and accept the office. He served
with such general satisfaction that
before the expiration of his term,
petitions from every county in his
district we're sent the Governor,
urging his reappointmenG. Judge
Chrisman objected to this, and de-
clined to ask for the place, prefering
to return to active practice. But
the Governor, in acknowledgment
Of his eminent ability and in obedi-
ence to the general request Of the
people of the Tenth District, reap
pointed Judge Chrisman last winter,
and he is now serving his second
term State Ledger.

JOHN R. LYNcH's VIEWS.
Opinions OF the Leading Colored
Mar Of the State Upon Nation
al Questions.

Considerable comment has been
made by Southern newspapers as to
the attitude Of the colored citizens,
and their prospects for the future,
in view of Mr.. Cleveland's election.
A bogus interview with Register
B. X. Bruce has been published and
commended, in which Bruce is
alleged to have denounced Blaine's
Augusta speech. Thinking the
views of the leading colored men
would be of interest to our readers,
the publisher of The Post addressed
a request to Register Bruce and
Hon. John r. Lynch to give their
views and opinions upon Blaine's
speech and the status Of the colored
citizens, for publication. John r.
Lynch's response is published to-
day. He is undoubtedly the lead
ing colored man of the State, and
his ability and character render his
opinion of more than ordinary i'm
portance.-V icksburo Post.

Davis of the Confederate States and

Gen. Sherman certainly gave to Mr..
Davis cause for complaint in the

| know Davis, writing, and have seen
his signature. In that letter he said
he would turn Lees army against
any State that might attempt to Sc
cede from the Southern Confed-
eracy."
This brought forth a newspaper
reply from Mr.. Davis, denouncing
the statement Of Gen. Sherman as
"unqualifiedly false" and he says.
''If Gen. Sherman has access to any
letters purporting to have been
written by me which will sustain his
accusations, let him produce them,
or wear the brand of a base Sian
derer."
The letter of Mr.. Davis was pub
lished in the ST. Louis Republican,
and of course brought about inter
views with Gen. Sherman, but be
declined to talk, upon the ground
that the affair was one between him
self and Mr.. Davis and one in which
the newspapers are not q party, or

A special to the Times Democrat
says Ouachita Parish, La, went for
Prohibition last week by majority
of over 500. There was a full vote,
showing that much interest was
taken in the election, and every
precinct in the parish but two gave
a majority against license. One
feature of the canvass worthy of
note was that a majority of the col
ored voters in the parish voted
against license, and but for their
votes it is believed that the result
would have been otherwise, and the
friends of temperance are giving
them great praise for helping their
cause.

Thursday, 3 miles east of Wesson
between w. w. Fox and D. N. BAL
lew both of Lawrence county, il
which the latter was seriously and
probably fatally wounded in the arm
and left side. His horse was also
shot. The difficulty was the result
it seems, of an old feud. Ballew
came to the county few years ago
from Missouri; Fox is quite a young
man and native of Lawrence. Both
are prominent planters aud citizens
of the county. The unfortunate
affair is very greatly regretted.
