A strong Endorsement.

vIcxsBuRo; Mss, July 10, 80.
Editor 8ignal,-
Incidentally I have learned that
/ my friend Mr.. Chas. A. Taliaferro Is
q candidate for the Office OF treasurer
Of your county. Deaming 1t o duty
to assist q friend whenever 1t 10 in
my power TO do SO, I ask the use OF
your valuable columns to add my tes-
timony 10 the gallantry and worth OF
my friend Mr.. Taliaferro. Charley
Taliaferro as O member Of the 18th
Regt. Miss, Volunteers, being only
u boy at the time, was wounded and
so badly disabled as TO incapscitate
him for further service and no was
entitled to his discharge. This he
would not accept, but after his
wounds were healed, he returned TO
duty with his regiment. Not being
able to carry q nusket, on the recon-
mcudation Of his regimental COM
mauder, Col. NJ. B. Harris, l had
him detailed to act as one OF my
couriers. In this position he served
with distinction to the close OF the
war, winning my entire confidence
and the admiration of his comrades.
hope that Charley's claims will
receive the attention they merit,
feeling assured that he will prove as
worthy Of confidence in peace as lie
was faithful and true in war.
Very Respectfully,
N. II HARRIS.

Political situation in New York.

Just now politics In New York
are attracting considerable atten.
ton. 1t is reported that oil Is not
lovely in the affairs of Tammany
Hall. The treatment of the society
by the President has embittered q
large number Of the members, who
threaten vengeance upon the nd.
ministration. John Kelly is still
the head and front OF the organiza-
ton, and can mould 1t ut his will.
His wife has recently written pri'
vate letters in which she declares
Mr.. Kelly will not again take part
in politics, but he continues to be
quoted in connection with future
political events. The impression
as indicated by the dispatches from
Washington is that there is "little
room to doubt that If John Kelly
remains at the head of Tammany
Hall IL will he anti.administration
in its sympathies, and will oppose
any man for Governor this fall who
bears the very slightest traces OF
the administrations favor. Mr..
Cleveland will never be forgiven
for his course, and he snot likely
to change it. 1t is pretty generally
confessed that something should be
done and quickly. The 10000 vo.
ters of Tammany ought not to be
permitted to sulk, and particularly
ought not to DO allowed to go over
bodily to the opposition, as now IL
threatened. With them there is O
flue fighting chance; without them
no combinations of circumstances
within the range of ordinary fore
cast could carry the State for the
Democracy"

Geo. 3. Dodds.

BY request of the friends Of the
gentleman mentioned, We copy the
following from the.Meteor
"Thls gentleman is, 80 far, the
only candidate announced for Sen.
ator. We hear from all parts OF
the county that he is acceptable to
the people. We know he Is q fa'
vorite in beat FIVE. Ho possesses
all the qualifications for the place
and is Interested for the prosperi.
ty of the county in every depart
ment, agricultural, commercial and
professional. He would do credit
to the county as her Senator"

The Important Question.

Editor Sgnali:-
Whisky or no whisky, that is the
question. Not men but measures.
Not filings but facts. These arc the
things that carry conviction in dis
cussi.n. Now, sir, l can conceive
IN honest difference Of opinion among
good men touching q great and
growing question, such as prohibition
is to-day. Fair-minded people wish
to arrive at safe conclusion in re-
gard to this, as we'll as oil other
questions, and I think the way to do
It is to discuss the question on its
merits and not with reference to some
respectable citizen and his candidacy
for Office. I suggest that the oppo-
s,tion to prohibition select their man
or men and let them confer with the
executive committee OF the Copiah
county prohibitionists, arrange terms
and methods Of controversy, and
then let us have the merits and con.
clusion of the whole matter. i think
there has been enough OF desultory
picket firing along the lines to locate
with tolerablc accuracy the position
Of both parties, and now let the two
lines move up and in joint discussion
begin the "Titans' battle" What
say you, gentlemen?
Respectfully,
ALEX. A. LoNAx.

The State Canvass.

The State canvass Is getting
warm and somewhat interesting.
Gov. Lowry is in the lead, so far rs
instructed delegations are concern.
ed, but the claim set forth that he
has about ninety votes is mistake.
Every county that gave no instruc.
tons ut all, are set down for Low
ry, on the presumption they would
be, and many of those which did
instruct, did so after q warm con.
test, notably Lincoln county, which
gave, according to the dispatches,
only five votes in his favor. Oar.
den is developing more strength
than was anticipated, capturing
some counties that have been con.
sidered for Lowry. There will be
240 votes in the State convention,
and thus far 80 are claimed for
Lowry, though if only those are
reconed which have in fact instruct
ed, We findhe has only about 90,
leaving him II short OF q nomini'
nation, as 1t takes 12l to nominate,
Some of the uninstructed delega'
tons may he for Lowry, but we
have rs much right to believe they
are for some one else. In those
counties which have been so close
and instructed for Lowry, the dele.
cations will consider their obliga.
tons carried out when they cast
the first ballot, and it is on this
ballot that Gov. Lowry must be
nominated or not at all. Many OF
the counties which have instruct.
ed for Darden, Featherston or Wal.
ker, did so because either Of those
men represented au anti'second
term, and all in opposition to this
idea will very readily unite Oh any
good man to prevent the estab.
fishing OF such precedent. 1t
may not be either of those in the
field, but the right man eau be
found at the proper time.

Tho Vicksburg Herald, in speak
ing of the crop prospects in the
Mississippi Valley, says:
The corn crop, in area and now
assured yield is the largest In ma.
nv years, and IN excess over neces'
sites for another, year unless some
disaster out of the ordinary line
should bcf,ll it will be gathered.
The cotton crop is the most promis'
ing since 1870, and the outlook is
full of promise and cheer. And,
altogether, the crop situation is
cheering, alike to the planter and
the merchant, whose inter DEEPEN
dence is never so forcefully dem
onstrated as during a series of dis
astrous agricultural years.

California Horses

CHICAGO, June %. In the parade OF
animals at Washington Club Park,
where the summer racing season is to
be inaugurated tomorrow, Lucky
Baldwin's stable turned out strong and
the horses that came in for the greatest
share of attention were Volante and
Verano, the two Derby candidates,
Lucky B, winner of the Louisville cup,
and the handsome mare, Freda, who
has become quite gray since last year.
The appearance of Alf Estell, Mr.
Murris, the California Derby champion.
is eagerly looked for. 1t has been
rumored that ALI Estell has been cough
ing of late, but he looked all right yes
terday, as did his stable companion,
Billy Ayers. Alta, belonging to Stem
Ter. and Todhunter, another Cali
fornia horse for the Derby, also
looks the picture of health. The
meeting of these two horses should be
interesting, as this spring in California,
ALT Estell beat Alta for the winners
stakes in 2.371z, one mile and half,
both carrying lis pounds, and in the
Spirit Of the Times stakes, ene-and-thrt E.
quarter-miles, at the same weights, Alta
beat Estell in $40. Baldwin will start
two horses for the Derby Volante aud
Verans. Holloway will ride the best of
the Baldwin stables. George Hawson,

4 Remarkable Cure of a Horse.

Co James l. Fleming, g prominent
grocery merchant; member of the firm OF
Fleming Lotion. augusta, Ga, makes
the following statement of the treatment of
available horse with Swift's Specific:
In the fail of 1858 | had valuable colt
taken with severe case of Pinkeye, which
resulted in the most fearful case of blood
poisoning have ever seen. After eight o.
nine months Of d0ctOring with every
remedy thatI uld hear of, despaired of a
cure. AT this time the horse was unable to
move. because Of swollen limbs. His right
hind leg was as large as mans body, and
had on It over forty running sores. He had
also a number Of large sores on his
body and other limbs. He was a most
pitiable looking object, and was advised
lOend his sufferings with the shot gun. He
was valuable animal, and did not want
% lose him. After racking my brain in search
for another remedy more efffcacious. ]
thought of sWifts Specific. I knew il was
valuable to the humaE family as q blood
purifier and why should it not be for the
animal as well did not hesitate, but sent,
last July to Atlanta for supply.
began the treatment with OF of 8. s. 8.
and o. OF water three time day. This
continued for week. Then I increased
the dose to o. of each and continued for
week Then increased to s OF. and run IL
aWeek when went back to o. again. The
result was that at the end of the first week
the horse had fair appetite, which he had
noi had since his sickness. At the end OF
iheseeond week even greater Improvement
was appirent, for many of the sores were
healing nicely, and the horse manifested
desire to move about. At the end of the
IhiI4 week he b gan to show gain in flesh.
sladhad full appetite. Theswelling had about
disappeared. fused in all about Is bottles
Of swift Specific. and when 1 quit its use
me horse had only four small sores left on
LIN, and they healed up Immediately.
IN August last all symptoms of the disease
passed away, and up to date no signs of the
return OF the trouble have made their ap
Pesrance, and the horse has done a mules
work on my farm.
l regard it one of the most remarkable
cures l have ever known. Thus this great
medielne has proven boon 10 the animai
rs well as to the human race.

this subject. In Louisiana 1t was

Now If the Commercial Travelling

be applauded by the entire community,
who are in favor of abolishing this tax,
and giving access to free trade between
states. II cannot be for the want OF
means to push this case, if necessary, 10
