We had the pleasure of meeting
Maj. s. A. Jonas, of Aberdeen Ex-
aminer, in the city, on Saturday, last.
The Major is visiting various parts
of the State in the interest of the
approaching Cotton Exposition in
New Orleans. He was assured of a
creditable display by Mrs. Doche, OF
this vicinity, of Silk Cocoons, and of
display by Mr.. L. S. Crozier, in
the same line, and of one or two
Others in Corinth. Maj. Jonas is
one of the men to work up such
things -COrjnth SUB. SojJer and
Democrat,

speech eulogizing the record of Mr..
Jonas, and which was unanimously
adopted:
ReSoloed, That Hon. B. F. Jonas has
represented the State of Louisiana in
the United States Senate with ability,
integrity and fidelity and with satisfac-
tion to the people, aud that his record
in the Senate of the United States is
hereby indorsed, and that the thanks of
the people of Louisiana are hereby tend
cred HIM.
AS soon as the resolution passed
the House, the doors, which had been
opened to allow the lobby to hear
the speeches, were again closed and
the caucus proceeded to consider the
election of circuit Judges. A motion
to adjourn, however, prevailed and
the caucus retired to meet again to-
morrow at 10 o'clock.
The Senatorship has been the chief
topic of conversation all day. In
consequence when it was stated that
the caucus would have a ballot to-
night the State House was filled with
people. This morning it was stated
that the Jonas side had succeeded in
breaking the ranks of the Eustis men,
and had captured three votes. Many
of the warmest friends of Mr.. Jonas
expressed themselves as being well
satisfied with the situation here this
morning, and felt confident that they
would elect their candidate.
The result of the caucus was re-
ceived with surprise by the friends
of Senator Jonas, who were confident
of a majority tonight on the second
ballot at least, when, they say, the
four Manning votes would have been
cast for Mr.. Jonas. That Mr.. Eustis
should have ma ajority of the whole
vote on the first ballot was entirely
unexpected by all.
A TIMEs-DEMoCRAT reporter saw
Senator Jonas shortly after the eau
Gus adjourned. He expressed cheer
full acquiescence in the result, and
remarked that the year had been un-
fortunate for the class of Senators
with whom he entered. Mr.. Jonas
leaves for Washington at 6 o'clock
tomorrow.

The bill to place Gen. U S. Grant
on the retired list is a proper one.
and when it is put upon its passage
we hope to see the name of every
Southern Senator and Representa-,
tive recorded in the affirmative. 1t is
the privilege of every officer of the
army to be placed on the retired list.
and many have been so retired. To
deny it to Gen. Grant, would be to
say brilliant services amount to
nothing, and that merit is an empty
sound Sundry officers much less
worthy have been so rewarded, and
differing with Gen. Grant politically
as we do, we insist that be shall not
be the only Federal soldier excluded.
The world has paid the tribute of
its homage to Ger. Grant as u great
American soldier, and in his presence
all that the world holds great Sold
iers, statesmen, jurists, poets, artists
and men of science, have gathered
around him with uncovered heads.
For the American Congress to re-
fuse to do for a man SO hon ored
what it has freely done for many
others, would be unspeakably shabby
and disreputable.- TickSb~g Her.
aid.
Honest words bravely spoken.
This bill was right in spirit and right
in fact, if any bill is right that seeks
to restore a soldier to the rolls of
the Army with view of placing
him upon the retired list; and the
Senate has endorsed the proposition
without dissenting vote. Two
years ago when Mississippis Senior
Senator, Hon. L. Q. G. Lamar,
moved by that prophetic anticipation
of the award of posterity and the
result of a peoples sober second
thought which is the prime attribute
of craftsmanship, rose in his place in
the Senate to advocate this measurs,
he was condemned, and harshly con
demned, by journals and politicians
all over the country, but to- day
every voice in that chamber has
seconded the proposition, land Lamar,
voting as he voted long ago, is en-
dorsed by solid South as well as o
solid North.
We defended the first vote because
the man who cast it stood solitary
and alone among Southern Senators,
for a measure that we believe to be
right. The vote of yesterday needs
no vindication or defence-it was
lost in solid chorus of "yeas,' and
was not indicitive of courage, though
evidence of consistency.

Save the Young Oysters.

1t has been discovered that the
oysters brought here from Eastern
Bay and other oyster grounds on the
Chesapeake Bay, are covered with
growth of young oysters, varying
from ten to fifteen on every clump of
oysters. 1t has been suggested by
some OF our enterprising dealers that
arrangements should be made at once
to preserve and propagate this young
growth Of bivalves, by taking the
shells and placing them on Horn
Point bar, where, it is claimed they
would be sufficiently large in one sea-
son to supply large local demand.
In view of the rapid decrease Of the
oyster in our waters, and the increas-
ing demands, it behooves every dealer
and we may say, every citizen, to in
terest themselves as far as in their
power in the preservation and cuIti-
vation of our oyster beds. Let the
packers and tongers call meeting,
and let our merchants and citizens in
terest themselves too, and we shall
soon bring about measures and means
whereby to preserve and propagate
this growth of young oysters from the
shells that contain thousand of the
young bivalves, now thrown away
and allowed to decay.

LOCAL NEWS OF THE DAY
An Interesting Case.

Two of the most interesting cases
ever tried in our Court were heard on
Tuesday last before the Court. They
were the cases of the State vs.. Jacob
Ovens, charged with assault with in.
tent TO kill and burglary. Mrs.
Cruger testified to having heard on
the night in question, and about nine
O'Clock, repeated noises, and, taking
a candle in her hand, she went to as
certain the causes of them. When
she arrived at the foot of the stairway
she saw the prisoner at the landing
above, who, finding he had been de-
tected, fred pistol in her face, the
ball whistling close by her. Mr.. Ro
sen who lived in the house, also testi-
fed to finding the prisoners cane un-
der the window through which he en-
tered, his confused and unearthly look
the morning afterwards, and other
matters to show his connection with
the crime. He went on in most ex-
cited and violent manner, crying that
no one but the prisoner did it, Mr..
5. I. Mccullough, counsel for the
accused, permitting it to be done, for
the purpose ofIetting the Court see the
animus ofthe witness. Finally, Mr..
Mccullough interrupted the witness.
telling him he must now stop with
his fOolishness, but Rosen replied.
"Oh, Mr.. Lawyer, you may try bard,
but you know you have no case. .
To which Mr.. Nee, in his usual re-
partce style replied, that would be
true if you (the witness) had the de-
ciding of the case, but fortunately for
the prisoner, that is not so. The de-
fence was that of an alibi, and the
case which at first looked hopeless,
resulted in the triumphal acquittal of
the accused on both charges.
