The testimony given before the
Springer committee, by ex-Postmaster-
General James and ex-Attorney General
McVeigh, on the Star Route frauds is
the most crushing of any yet sworn to
by any witnesses. The assassination of
President Garfield is ascribed to the
Star-Route interest. Gen. James says:
81 mean, judging from the clamor of
the people and the clippings found in
the assassin's pocket that Guiteau's head
was turne': by these things" The first
impressions on the minds of the people
when the President was assassinated,
were that he was slain by the instiga-
tons of some clique or ring of his own
party. Congressman Springer is doing
a grand work for the country.

The Memphis Avalanche thus speaks:

lhE McHpuiS aNdiduCne tuuS spedhS :
The deficiency of lawyers who know
some law is so marked characteristic
of the Mississippi Legislature that the
Solons should take counsel with Gov.
Lowry who is an able lawyer and capa-
BILE of giving them wholesome advice.
We venture the remark that the Leg
islature of Mississippi has as good
lawyers in it as Gov. Lowry or anybody
else. Does the Avalanche hope by this
slang against the Legislature and its
palaver on Governor Lowry to get him
to veto the railroad bill now before him
Gov. Lowry was elected ON Railroad
Supervision Platform, and he has said
the time has arrived to do the work.
Does the Avalanche think Gov. Lowry
can be seduced from the line of duty, by
praise or censure, intimidation or per-
suasion, free tickets or any of the appli-
ances usually employed to get officials
to desert the people, violate their
pledges, and go over to the monopolists?
We don't have such an opinion here.
We believe that he will do his duty, and
act upon his convictions on all questions
before him.
The extra friends of railroads are
doing more to widen the breach between
powerful monopolies and the people who
support them, than any other class.
The sovereignty of the States will be
asserted and vindicated in this contest,
and the legitimate rights of the people
respected.
