JACKSON, September 15.-Yesterday be-
ing the anniversary of the battle in New
Orleans between the citizen soldiery and
the Metropolitan police, the Crescent Rifles
of that city sent handsome floral decora-
tions for the grave of their old comrade,
R. q. Lindsey, who fell on that memorable
occasion, yielding up his young and pure
life in defense of civil liberty while bravely
battling against the political vandals that
then infested Louisiana. Young Lindsey,
being native of this city, was buried
here. Fair and loving hands tenderly
placed on his grave and watered with their
tears the beautiful mementoes SO thought
fully furnished by his sorrowing comrades.
The Jackson Collegiate Academy opened

THE resumption OF publication of the
New York Star, under the editorship and
proprietorship of ex-Lieut. Gov. Dorsheim-
er, is an event in the political world of the
great metropolis. Dorsheimer himself can
know literally nothing about practical
journalism. He is a lawyer by profession,
but more of politician than lawyer, and
may, therefore, be expected to make the
Star thoroughly political as well as news
paper, one that the Democrats of New
York can rely upon Implicitly, and the
whole country look 10 with confidence.
Under the new regime the Star has our
hest wishes for its success.

SENATOR JACKSON, in the sdmirable, log
ical and mast .rful sp' ch we published in
the APPEAL cf Friday ast, made frequent
citations from and fs-orAble illusions 10
Federalist and Whig as well as Demo-
cratic statesmen, In doing SO he proved
the breadth OF his intelligence ard COM
prehension. The history of the United
States lies open to all men, and therein it
may be plainly read what constructions of
lew or of constitution were most beneficial,
and which operated to the best advantage
for the people consistent with the main
tenance of the integrity of the organic
law. The man who would assert that the
Democrats had all the brains of the coun-
try, and that Democratic leaders were
always right, would be very unsafe guide.
So would he who should say to the people
that the war was in vain; that there was
nothing gained by it and there was no
other outcome from it but the death and
measureless destruction of property that
left the South nothing to represent her
more than 200 years of toll by a con-
stant'y increasing population in a con-
stantly increased territory of fruitful soil
Parties are made up of men, and are
therefore just as fallible, just as liable to
mistakes; and that they do make mistakes
the civil war, with all its attendant horrors,
abundantly proves. That was itself a wo-
iul mistake. The man who profits by
these mistakes and by the successes of his
opponents is wise man and is fit TO be q
leader among men. The man, on the
other hand, who refuses to do this, who
stubbornly opposes policy based upon g
rational observance and knowledge Of
facts, is unfit to be leader. He is not 6
safe guide. The world does not stand still
1t does not wait on any man. 1t move:
and moves rapidly, and he is wisest who
moves with it and keeps pace with it. The
South in commerce, in trade and in manu-
factues has attuned herself thorough!
with the North and the West, and sh
means to keep pace hereafter with thos,
sections of the country, whose growth

shrewd and long-headed as our Yanke
brethren, and as tirelessly pushing as on
enterprising Western brethren. To d
this we must have well trained and edu
Gated mechanics and lsborers of commol
school training. We must have school

FROM THE PEOPLE.
The Rev. Mr.. Klein.

To the Editors of the Appeal; --.--
An article appeared in yesterdays AP-
PEAL accusing the Rev. Mr.. Klein un-
Justly. We, in Justice to him, and men,
bers of his congregation, wish to correct
this false statement. When Mr.. Klein
was requested to divide the services, he
replied, that in order for him to conduct
them at all it must be at one place or the
other, as his time was limited. He was
expected to fill his usual appointment at
st. Mary's Cathedral at the hour of
o'clock. We trust this is sufficient to ex-
plain all erroneous ideas in regard to Mr..
Klein giving a thought to his own
comfort. None know better the true worth
of this good man than We, this faithful,
self-sacrificing priest, with heart full OF
charity and compassion for all suffe ring
humanity. "PARIsHIoNEE."

TIE acceptance by the Hon. Clay Bas-
com of the nomination for governor from
the Prohibitionists of New York is as bad
for the Republicans of that State as the
nomination of the Rev. DR.. Leonard by the
Prohibitionists is for those OF Ohio. What
ever the strength of the Prohibitionists
may be, tis just so many votes taken from
the Republicans, who of late years have
had none to spare. Nearly every vote
cast for Bascom will be vote taken from
the Republican candidate, and by thus
weakening the ranks of the common
enemy, Democratic victory is more easily
assured. 1t is plain sailing now for the
