N OF a Fact.

The statement that Maj. Barksdale is
in favor of the retention of Rounds, a
Republican, in the office of Public
Printer, at Washington, is founded in
malice. There is no truth in it. The
Meridian Ne,cs thus appropriately dis
poses of the matter:
'The assertion has been made that Mai.
Barksdale, who is chairman of the House
Committee on Printing, desires that the
present Republican public printer, S. p.
Rounds, shall be retained. Mai. Banks
dale emphaticslly denies having intlmated
such a thing His Democracy is too strong
and his sentiments too we'll known in Mis-.
'sissippi for the people to give credence to
the idea that Republican shall continue
10 hold a lucrative Office under the admin
istration with his appreciation 50 long n,
there is competent Democrat left who
would accept the place.

The Pardon of Melissa Henley.

EDITOR SIGNAL-COPIAHAN-l see In
your last issue some comments upon the
action of Governor Lowry for pardoning
Melissa Henley, convicted at the recent
term of circuit court of Copiah county
for violation of the liquor law. Justice
to the Governor demands that | shall ex-
plain the matter to you, and through you,
to your readers. When the prohibition act
first went into effect it was my opinion
and the opinion of some of the bar, that it
was no violation of the law to order whisky
for another person from New Orleans.
Melissa Henley, an ignorant colored wo-
man, applied to Capt L. B. Harris, member
of the bar, to know if it would be lawful
for her to order whisky for customer OF
her little store. Capt. Harris, as an at
torney, advised her it would be lawful to
do so. Mr.. E. w. Brown, circuit clerk,
advised her to the same effect. Acting on
this advice she ordered whisky for one OF
her customers, and for this she was subse-
quently indicted.
The court held that ordering 1t was dis
posing of it within the meaning of the act
and upon reflection the bar, | believe gen
orally, concurred in this construction OF
the law. Upon this she pleaded guilty by
advice of Harris & Dodds, her attorneys
Upon a representation OF the foregoing
facts by Capt. Harris and Mr.. Brown to
to me and Judge Wharton, we promptly
recommended her pardon to the Governor
and if any blame attaches to anybody for
her pardon it ought to be us.
l think the law ought to be enforced in
all proper cases, and have endeavored to
do so as best was able, but its enforce
ment in this case would have brought the
law into contempt with those of its best
friends who love justice and hate wrong
She had acted in good faith on the advice
OF an able lawyer, and to have punished
her would have shocked the sense of every
just friend of prohibition.
Respectfully,
Il n MILLER Dist Att,v

A Consuetudinary Privilege.

House Executive document No. lo2 of
the present session of Congress is a message
from the President and accom- panyipe doe.
uments relative to Chinese treaty stipnIa-
tions. In letter dated February Is. from
Secretary Bayard to Mr.. Cheng Tsao Ju.
the Chinese ambassador, at page 81. The
Secretary remarks that, ''in the treaty. Of
1868, by its sixth article, the United
States, for the first time, established. az a
treaty right, the heretofore consuetudipa-
ry privilege of emigration. of Chinese in
this country"
1t Is pleasure to call attention, even at
this late day, to this evidence of harmony
between the President and his Secretary al
State. The latter might have used the
simple word customary, but it was deli
cate tribute to his chief to substitute term
which had fallen into desuetude.
In thus throwing out an expression an
unconsuetudinary he boldly followed the
Presidents lead. at the risk of being count-
ed pedantic. He may even have contem.
plated the possibility that what he was
doing would point to him as the real an
thor OF the phrase .innocuous desuetude .
thus relieving the President and his ac-
complished sister from responsibility. It
was knightly act.--N. Y. Sun.
