dent and Distinguished
. Mississippiap.
The Accepted Version Of the Difference
Between gthelbert Barksdale
and tho Executive,
What the Press says Of Southern Com
munities Phoebe Cousins aud
the penitentisry System.


WASHINGTON. June u --Isamai'e
in making promised
appointments inducee many of those
once loudest In asserting his shluing
virtues TO call down imprecations
upon hls shaggy head. He is addicted
to exercise ON horseback, and now
that he is peopleing the boarding
houses with those who no longer love
him, the wiudows are filled with spec
tators, as he joys along the paved
thoroughfares, who declare that he has
misled and betrayed them. But
he has done no such thing.
He IL only organizing his
plans. He is making up his cata-
logues OF men and women who mWat
10 and OF those who must come. He
does this silently aud quietly. The
press Ia suffered to learn nothing.
This task perfected, Lamar, II will be
discovered has made no promise
which he will not execute and in-
Cured no obligation which he viii
forget To discharge. The Republican
newspapers are fearfully angry that
LAMAR does not publish his everyday
transactions or let them know who
are given and who ere denied places.
A CONGRESSMAN IN HOT WATER
The worst paed purveyor OF oiliies
OF the whole catalogue " Demo-
cratic congressman Is Mr.. Barkstialo,
the whilom exponent OF Mr. Jefferson
Davis on the flnor OF tho Richmond
house. IL IL greatly 10 he feared That
Mr.. Barksdale will not sustain to-
wards President Cleveland the close
and kindly aud confidential relations
once subeiAting between himself aud
the president of the Confeder-
ate Slatea. In fact. President
Cleveland has smitten Mr. Bafktdalo
most fiefceIy. Barksdale came all tho
way from Mississippi, even TO the
country's capital, 10 have one Meade
made postmaster mt Hazlehurst, the
famed capital OF the 'atate Of CopiRh.n
Meade, IL eeemn, Ia q very good man
aud excellent citizen, but, unfortun-
ately, had presided, with unrutll -
temper and serenity, over public
meeting ~ Hszlehuret, which ap-
proved in most solemn resolutions tie
violent aud bloody takingoti OF
quiet, reputable citizen named Math-
ews by another distinguished citizen
named Wheeler, the first Republic
(an, the latter a Democrat. Barka-
dale, by Inducing the president TO ap.
point h;eade, induced him, ut
lsast by indnectlon, 10 approve
tlun, and thus MIR. Clevelanu
indorses the killing OF Matthew's.
II seems though Mr.. Cleyeland, M
sheriff, once discharged the disagree.
able tack OF executloner thus showing
that he has the nerve and courage %
execute any duty, however Disagree
able, that he IL not disposed 10 rueh
forth needlessly and make himself re-
sponsible for the deadly deeds of
others. Meade has been elected there
fore, and Barksdales Efforts 10 restore
him ARE utterly nnavalllng, and here
part Cleveland and Bsrksdale.
WHAT m SIGNIFIES.
The fact becomes important, per.
baps, because the good people Of Ha-
zlehurst and Of the state of'Coplah are
given /, understand that II IL not ex-
actly right 10 knock people on the
head for opinions sake without other
adequate cause, and that the president
IL not going into this business by proxy.
And then The administration will
hardly be turned Barlkdaleward when
the senatorial election superyenes next
winter ut Jackson. Barksdale has
won the support Of Hazlehurst, but lost
that Of New York, and. little M we
may think OF IL, the blood OF Mathews
produces n crop Of political and partI-
san results, half OF which has not yet
been Rarnered and neither the Demo-
cratic nor the Republican party can
afford, IA civilized Christian age and
country, and still less In any unC3trfs-
ian country, To approve, by any fort
Of indirectlon, this pistoDing and bowie
knitting and sboLgunniDg process 10
| which the falsely educated slayer Of
Mathews nj Hazlehnrst, unhappily for
the late postmaster was too ready 10
rtsort. He belongs 20 by-gone age.
The Republican upcuEodly papers
say that Mr.. Gleveland's conduct ln
this behalf, hag been approved ny
every mouthpiece OF Northern opin-
Inn That has Rdveried 10 tho subject.

The history Of the Christian COM

aries sent from Jeddo 10 H5ziehurst.
