ing firm OF Messrs. Poitevent &
Favre, OF Pearlipgtou, Miss, to
become d candidate for Represeu-
tative from this county, to tue next

every Democrats heart with whom

consentto become a candidate and
that the firm OF p. & L. will take a
philosophical view of the situation
and also consent to spare Mr.. Bax-
ter during tue sitting OF the IIegiS.

elected, if he will only allow his
name to be'used in the coming can
vass.
Mr.. Baxter has a history which
few youDg men can boast of: At
the age of thirteen gears and eight
months he enlisted in the service of
the Confederate States to do battle
for bis country, and ddrIug said
service was the pride of his elder
comrades. He WAS brave tOa fault,
if such can be. He never shirked
duty under any circumstances, and
bore without a murmur all the
hardsbips iuci lent to a soldiers
life. He enlisted in the Adams
Rifles, at HandsbOrc, Harrison
county, Miss, in May, 1861, and
was attached to the 20th MisSissip
pi Regiment, commanded by Col.
ID. r.. Russei. Was la the West

MORE TROUBLE IN CAMP.

The action of President Cleve.
land in appointing ex.Confederates
to high places OF trust, some for
eign missions and cOnsnlates, has
occasioned the New York Tribune
and other Republican journals of
the North to roar and knash
their teeth. So threatinglY, indeed,
that a weaker man might have
been greatly alarmed. Not so Mr:
Cleveland. But when there is
mutiny in his own camp good
general will step cautiously. Some
days ago Mr.. Cleveland, upon the
recommendation and urgent re-
quest of the leading business men,
merchants and bankers belonging
to both parties of New York, ven
tured to retain II. G. Pearson as
postmaster of New York city.
When 1t was done the leading
Democratic papers of that city aPy
proved the action, and the Repub-
LEANS said Pearson was not much
Republican after all. But just as
his Excellency was beginning to
enjoy little feast of selEsatisfac-
tion on the result the sky becomes
murky, and the prophetic Daniel
Namont) read the Ominous hand
writing-the Biloxi Herald protests
threatens to throw up the sponge
and jump the party. How could
you, Bro. Richmond I That was
"the most unkindest cut OF all.n
Will you desert the old ship piI
Will you turn deaf ear to Mr..
Clevelandfs appeal, "et tn Brute"
Perhaps things have changed since
you were Governor of New York,
aud as Mr.. Cleveland has dealt
honestly and fairly with us so far,
he would certainly not fling the
first dirt at his own State, especial
ly as that State held the balance
OF power and elected bim. We
hope the Herald will retract and
let Mr., Cleveland feel easy again
