THERE is some figuring on the Cor :
g%ressional slate in our District, proba-
bly, at Vicksburg, but as yet, no avow-
ed candidates against Gen. Catchings.
Many friends and some of the papers of
the District have sought to present our
distinguished citizen Maj. Collins, be-
fore the next convention for Congress,
but we a speak from authority and
say that he is not, and will not be a
candidate. We would be glad to see
him honored with a seat in that body,
for we know that he would fill it ably
and acceptably, but as he declines the
race we do not hesitate to say that as
Gen. Catchings has made an able and
efficient Representative he should have
an endorsement and as between him
and any other man who is not strictly
a Delta man, W will give him our
suppoTt.-Indianola Times, June 9Th.

RED HOT.

The election to secure prohibition in
Lauderdale county, comes off to-day.
Meridian is situated in Lauderdale,
and the canvass has been the most ex-
citing since the war. On Saturday a
mass meeting of three thousand assem-
bl ID in Meridian to secure a peaceful
finish of the canvass. The excitement
among Che "Prohibs." and the "Antis"
was intense and the meeting
did no good. A row was
nearly precipitated, because a young
man declared that it was improper for
the ladies to attend the polls. Speeches
we're made appealing for moderation,
but finally the meeting became so tur-
bulent that it was dispersed by the
continued playing of the brass band to
drown the voices of the speakers.

THE PRINCIPLE rs SOUND.

Although Mr.. G~ladstone's home rule
bill was defeated on its second reading
in the British House of Commons, it
is probable that some measure of the
SOFT will prevail eventually. The
principle is sound and it must
triumph, or England must fall
back on a policy of force. We
believe that a majority of
the English are opposed to ruling
Ireland by brute force, even if it can
be done. In the last twenty years the
English and Irish have made rapid
progress towards liberty, and the
corner stone of lasting liberty is local
rule. The application of the principle
in this country, the greatest and best
government On earth, has borne such
fruits as to convince all, that there
can be no full enjoyment of self-gov-
eminent without each community
regulating and controlling its own
affairs.
Mr.. Gladstone had, perhaps, less
confidence in the present success of his
great measure than he had in its JUS
tice and sOundness. He is perhaps
surprised that the principle grew so
rapidly in the face of the Tory OPP
position, church prejudice and
persistent Misrepresentation. The
grand old man will now take the great
principle and appeal to the people.
The result cannot be doubtful. Even
political revolutions do not go back
wards, and the revolution to stcure
the control of Ireland to the Irish will
not prove an exception.

not prove an exception.

WE have received a letter from the
editor Of the Sword and Shield, in
which he says no anonymous CORES
pendent asked the interrogatories of
Gen. Catchings touching the peniten-
tiary matter, and that we did the edit
or of the Sword and Shield a "great TO-.
justice in not presenting the other side
of the question"
We referred to one of the numerous
anonymous correspondents of the
Evening Post, and cheerfully state that
the other side Of the question referred
to, appeared as editorial in the Sword
and Shield. We fail to see, however,
that we do the editor of the Sword and
Shield great injustice, in not republish-
ing his attack on Gov. Lowry
and Gen. Catchings. We don't
think there is any good
ground for the attack, and although
the editor Of the Sword and Shield diff
fers with US, we don't see that we are
called upon to reproduce his writings
on the subject.

THE YaEoo Herald and Greenville
Times heartily endorse the petition Of
the State Press Convention to require
the publication Of local laws in the
papers printed in the counties to which
the laws pertain. This is certainly a
movement in which all intelligent
citizens will concur. AS the
law is now legislation referring
to counties hundreds of miles
from Jackson, is published in
a Jackson paper. Local legislation
should only be printed in the counties
where it is Of interest, and the expense
of doing that would be no greater than
in publishing in the State Printer.
When the Legislature meets again,
we have confidence this just measure
can be put through.
