The Hazlehurst Postomce.
Hazlehurst Signal.1

Hazlehurst Signal.
Mr.. Meade has been guilty OF no crime
He took an active part in the campaign,
as all our people did, and if he is not
qualified to hold a position under demo
cratic admins tration, then but few citizens
of Copiah county are. If the republican
press and politicians are to dictate to 8
democratic administration who shall OF
shall not be our officers, then it is sac
day for the democratic party. Where and
when has 1t been shown that Mr. Meade
conspired with criminals, or was guilty Of
any act of an unlawful nature? Even il he
is guilty, isn't it reasonable that he should
be granted hearing
The displacement of Mr.. Meade for rea.
sons founded upon the testimony of repub
Leans, and upon charges which, when in.
vestigated, were proven to be groundless
is an indictment of our whole people, and
they have no patience with an administra-
ton which condemns them without hear
ing.
Congressman Barksdale is upheld by
every man in Copiah county for requesting
the President to withhold action until
Meade was given an opportunity to be
heard, and We believe he should insist that
the appointment shall not be revoked. II
Mr.. Meade is not acceptable to the demo
acrtic party as postmaster, then who would
be? Ii the testimony of our own people
and party is not to be given precedence
over that of a partisan republican press
the sooner we know it the better. Some OF
the papers which are calling for the reno
val of Mr. Meade are edited by republican
partisans of the deepest dye who are to-day
occupying the position of postmaster under
the democratic administration, and calling
for the removal of democratic postmasters
upon charges of their own Manufacture
We are not mistaken about this We can
cite instances. We hope Mr. Villas will
consider well before enforcing his request
We will say this that whatever steps NAV
be taken, Mr.. Meade viii still enjoy the
esteem and confidence of our people.
We learn that Mr.. MEADE, not having
been informed of the causes which have
led to the call for his resignation, has
declined to resign, for the reason that it
would imply the confession of wrong
doing of which he knows himself to
be innocent; but that Representative
BARKsDALE, after ascertaining the
wishes of the Democratic patrons of the
Office, has submitted a recommendation
for the appointment of another person
who is free from the political objections,
which, according to common rumor, the
Administration ascribes to Mr.. MEADE,
in the event the conclusion as to his
removal is irrevocable.

We 4 SIX Judgment

Since the Mercury admits that the Dem
ocratic party is competent to select suit
able candidate for Governor without a
previous Joint discussion between Gov.
Lowry and Col. Walker, its insistence in
the matter is one of those things which.
without explanation, is harder to under
stand than the plainly expressed views Of
THE CLARION ackson Clarion.
The Mercury only insists that the rea-
sons given for declining the canvass are
not tenable. The duty of an official to
''render an account of his stewardship" to
the people whose votes he seeks, always
exists. This is binding on party man, seek
ing the nomination of the party, just 50
long as there exists diversity OF opinion.
1t is no answer to say that his views will
be given to the people, when the hands OF
every party man is tied, after the nomina-
ton is made. The nomination in Missis.
sippi is equivalent to election, and if there
is ever to be free discussion within the
party it must be before nominations are
made Meridian Mercury.
The complaint of the Mercury origi
nally was that Gov LOWRY declined tC
engage in joint discussion with Col
WALKER. It now insists that the rea
sons given for declining the canvass art
not tenable, and in support of this posi-
ton asserts it to be the duty of an Off
cial to "render an account of his steward
ship" Since there is wide diferenc,
between a demand that the Governo
shall render ar account of his steward
I l. I Il 1 I L
and the demand that he shall discus
the doings of his administration Will
Col. WALKER, which the Mercury die
make, we claim that there has beer
what the lawyers call "a departure il
pleading" We ask judgment.

MAD RID, June J5.-The government order
forbiddng incubation. forbids also any one
TO have on his possession in the unintecte1
provinces enY 'microbe incubation liquor.
This decree shows that the government Is o.
the opinion that the incubation is liable To
transmit a dangerous type of cholera, and
foreshadows the decision OF the national
medical association appointed TO examine
DR.. FeTran's system. An immediate report
of the commission is not probable. II it l.

the poorer classes who now trust solely %

The other day the windows Of a hospital at
Valencia were stoned and smashed to pieces
by a mob, thus showing the popular fear Of
infection and the complete distrust Of physi-
clans. Statistics of infection show in thirty
eight villages Of the province of Valencia q
total Of ], 2s3 persons infected aud 81 deaths
In the village Of Muro, province Of Alicante.
sixty cases and fifteen deaths, and in Villa
vieja, province of Castellon, there are many
cases of infection. There is good reason

Col. Chas, E. Hooker.

Natchez Democrat
The fame of Col. CHARLES E.
HOOKER, the "silver-tonged" orator of
Mississippi, had long ago preceded him to
Natchez. and when it was learned yes
terday that he would make an argument
before the chancery court in the case of
johnson Is. Smokey, quite number of
our citizens gathered there to hear him.
That his remarks were eloquent goes
without saying, and they created in all
his listeners a desire to hear him again.
1t is to be hoped that during some of the
coming political campaigns Col. HOOKER
may eMbrace Natchez in his list of APP
pointments and give our citizens gener
ally an opportunity of hearing MIN
on living political issues. If he does so
we can assure him of large and intel
ligent audience, and one that will listen
to him with the deepest interest

read them for pleasure, and as matter
of business. Through Judge CoRDILL l
have met Mr.. and Mrs. HUeH TULLIs,
also of Tensas Parish, to whom | am
indebted for pleasant social intercourse.
Miss ETHEL TULLIs, twenty-one months
old, reminded me a good deal of home.
Dr. r. C. MYLEs, of Myles', left this
morning having been here only day or
two. He talks almost as well as Judge
CcRDILL and is very companionable.
He will be a frequent visitor at the Well
during the summer. DIR. W. III. BAIRD
and family. of Sunfower county, arrived
last night. He will go home to-day, as
this is the harvest season with him,
leaving Mrs. BAIRD and the children.
He is a LOWRY man and says that
Sunfower county IS for LOWRY and
that he does not believe LOWRY will

I The rates of board a. the Well might
be improved to the advantage of the
proprietors as we'll as visitors. At pres
ent the charge is $3.50 day and $40 a
week. The rate of SIC week will make
a months board in July and August
cost S70.S4, and in September, S6S.47,
This is too much. The day rate of 81. 80
is unobjectionable, but the week rate of
SIC ought to be reduced to SO, as it is
customary with hotels to allow person
who pays for six days board the priyi-
lege of staying another day without
additional charge If the hotel could
be filled with persons at $3.50 a day OF
at $40, week and kept full N that rate
the necessity for reduced rates would
not be apparent; but it is doubted il
the present pecuniary condition OF thI
persons who would be most likely tC
visit the Well, justifes the belief tha
such happy condition Of affairs, fol-
for the management, will exist. Tht
month rate should not exceed $50. Thi'
would encourage families to spend the
summer. There is no danger that The
hotel would be filled with boarders by
the month at that rate, but with sucl
persons as would take advantage of it
there would in all probability still b.
room enough to accommodate all com
i, ing to stay by the day or week. 1t ma!
seem strange that person who ha
tried nearly everything without beinl

Greeuyille Times.
We would say to our somewhat ran
corous, occasionally riproarious, and
always interesting and esteemed contem-
porary, the Chickasaw Messenger, that
the reasons we have not brought Gov.
LOWRY to the block about the Byron
EvERs land purchase, for which omis-
sion our moral obliquity Is broadly init
mated, are two. In the first place he
had no more to do with this sale of
lands decreed by the Kinds county
Chancery Court and executed by the
commissioners thereof, than had the
editor of the Messenger In the second
place, this purchase entailed no wrong.
These wild lands were so loaded down
with taxes, so clouded by conflicting
titles, that no settler would touch them.
Evers bought and holds and pays taxes
on them, clustered thick with imperfec-
tions. Through the subsequent building
of the Upper District Levees and the
L., n. 0. & T. r. R., EvERs & Co., mag
get their money back.
British gold though the lands were
bought with, which with the Messenger
greatly intensifes the wrong, is largely
contributed to the extinction of debt
involving very illadiusted and irksome
tax upon the Delta lands. EvERs is now
a large taxpayer upon property which
had yielded no revenue for years; and
what he paid ON his s;unflower county
lands after the recent embroglio with
his associates had been settled, placed
that county's finances ON a "cash basis. -
In point of fact as to "Lord Byron
Evers," the iresome valor of the Messe,,-
ger is cavorting and fitting around a
veritable wind MILL Still, it is a per-
fectly innocent hobby with which we
have no inclination to interfere.
