1t has been stated that the President
has departed from the custom Of long
standing, by which postmxsters have
been appointed solely upon the recon-
mendation Of Congressman from the
districts in which the appointments are
made.
We have a case directly in point,
the appointment of G. w. Martin, at
Chattanooga. 1t is related that the
Office was a bone of contention between
the Democratic party leaders in Ten
nessee. Both United States Senator's
from Tennessee had candidates. The
Representative of the Chattanooga dis
trict, Mr.. Neal, had candidate, and
there were a number of applicants en-
dorsed by the citizens of Chattanooga
Martin was mailing clerk in the post,
Office, and at the solicitations of friends
consented to file his application, stating
that he has always been Democrat and
reiterating his faithful service under
Republican superiors. Although NJ
outside influence was brought to bear il
his favor, the President promoted Mar
tin from mailing clerk to Postmaster, il
disregard of adverse political influences
We mention this case to show tina
Senators and Representatives are no
always to be held responsible either TO
omission or commission in the matter O
Post Office appointments.

Hon. f. BARKsDALE, by invitation,
addressed the West Ward Democratic
Club last Friday night, at the hall Of
West Jackson Fire Company, which was
well filed on the occasion. He gave a
brief account of his stewardship as a
member of Congress, snd referred to
the most important measures that had
engaged the attention of that body. He
expressed some impatience that the
s'rascals" were not being turned out
faster, but believed that good Democrats
would in due time be turned in. As to
State politics, all he had to say was that
when the people, on the 10th of August,
shall declare their choice for the several
Offices to be filled, be will be ready, as
in former campaigns, to contribute his
share to the success of the ticket. The
distinguished gentleman was frequently
applauded, and the West Ward Club is
to be congratulated on such a good send
off for their reorganization.

Hon. w. W. Stone.
Missouri Statesman.l

Missouri Statesman
A native of this county, but now resi-
dent of Washington county, Mississippi,is
a candidate for the Office of State Auditor
of Mississippi, with good prospect of be-
ing nominated at the coming State Demo-
cratic Convention. Capt. Stone, well and
favorably known here as son of the late
Caleb S. Stone, and brother of Capt. J i.
w. Stone, our circuit clerk, was born in
this county in 1910, graduated at the Uni
versity here July 4, 1859, at.which time he
delivered mastery Grafton on State of
morals, the te st of permanent nationality"
In 1861 he joined the Confederate army as
lieutenant, and after the battle of Will
sons Creek raised a company which he
commanded as its gallant Captain, figuring
in the struggles in Arkansas and Louisiana
in the trans-Mississippi department, sur
rendering at Shreveport whilst in Gen.
Kirby Smiths command. Prior to the
war he read law and accepted that az his
profession. After the late unpleasantness
he made his home at Greenville, Miss, mar
ried daughter of DR.. Holt, of New Or
leans, and is now prosperous planter near
Stoneville, manned in his honor in Wash
ton, county Miss. At recent county con-
vention held there he was declared the
choice of the people or for the office OF
State Auditor fact true of many other
counties of that State-W ashington county
passing very complimentary resolutions,
which we heartily endorse. Capt. Stone
has been prominent in politics for several
years, and has served his people one term
in the Legislature.
We have local pride in the success Of
Capt. Stones candidacy, and hope his early
education, mental training and noble traits
of character will be thus recognized by the
people of Mississippi.

Carrying Concealed Weapons.

Judge Featherston, in recent charge
to Grand Jury, declared that three
fourths of the homicides in the country,
sprung from the common habit of carry
ing concealed weapons. So far as any
general good, that the law has produced,
Judge Featherston has openly avowed
its inutility. Occasionally some poor
fool or drunken man, exposes his armory,
and is arrested, while the cautions and
sober, keep it hid away in the hippocket.
We have almost come to the conclusion,
that a better way would be, to allow
every man that wishes it to carry as
many arms as he pleases, and thus ia
miliarize the public with the fact, that
every man is armed to meet every other
man, and not rely on the deception that
nobody is armed under a forbidding
law. While whisky is often the prime
cause of broils, troubles and homicides,
it is the cold, sober, calculating evil doer
that "wings" his man in the stiffness of
noon day, or the darkness of the night,
and disappears as mysteriously from the
scene of his crime, as an evil spirit

Il
Col. o. o. STyALEY, the Washington
correspondent Of the Courier journal,
gives the following as the utterances of
Senator BECK.
Il am not going to quarrel with the
President or the Administration simply
because my special friends or favorites
are not appointed to Office; that would
be childish and absurd. / have stood
by my party in defeat, and battled for
its principles for twenty four years, and
| am certainly not going to oppose the
first Democratic Administration we have
had in all that time simply because the
men ] recommended for Office are not
appointed. When / split or oppose the
Administration it will be on question
where some more important principle is
involved, and not on question of pat
ronage. / have not had any patronage
to bestow since have been in Congress,
| nearly sixteen years, and as have stood
it that long guess can stand it the
balance of my time in official life if it is
necessary. If in the judgment of the
President other Kentucky Democrats
are more fit and deserving to hold Office
than those indorse ] have not a word
to say. | believe he is an honest anG
conscientious man, and tries his best tt
to fill the offices solely for the public
good / know he has hard time enough
trying to do this, and shall be the las
man TO throw any obstacle in his wa,
even if do not get friend appointed
during his entire Administration"
Il We commend the Senator for til
wisdom of his course, and hope tina
others in high positions viii be guides
by it.

VII Said, Mr.. Carlisle

1t is stated that during the recent
visit of Speaker Carlisle to Washington,
an active Republican official in one of
the Departments called on him with
his two children, and appealed to him to
intercede and prevent his removal. The
Speaker said: "My friend, | feel sorry
for you, but also feel sorry for thous-
ands of Democrats as poor as you are,
aud with as many, or more, children,
who are beseeching me daily to get them
place to keep starvation from the
door. | believe that these Democrats
are entitled to all of these offices under
the law. They have worked hard for
their party for years, and should share
in its reward never asked the Repub-
lican Administration To put Democrat
in Office, and shall certainly not ask q
Democratic Administration to keep a
Republican in office"
This has been the understanding of
both parties. 1t never entered the
thoughts Of either, that the party which
was beaten at the polls, would hold the
Offices The Speaker il level-headed.

Crops at the A. & M College Farm.

The crops ON the Agricultural College
farm are first-rate., The few acres sown
in cotton looked well and promised a
large yield. Prof. Gully informs us he
will put in larger acreage of cotton
next year on good land and fertilize
heavily. We doubt whether the corn
crop on this farm, as a general average,
can be beat in East Mississippi. Most
of it is on rich land, well ditched, with
out any fertilizer whatever.
A large acreage was sown down to
millet, sorghum and chicken corn, mix
ed, for hay, and is now about ready for
the mower. The yield of forage will be
immense.
The Louisiana sugar cane is not so
promising MS it was in previous year.
but the yield will be very satisfactory
one.
A large acreage has been sown to peas
on stubble land and the crop looks well.
Since the oats have been harvested "a
fine CROP peas have also. been sown on a
good deal of the land
The ensilege crop will be good one.

The Republican party OF the South
