GEN. ROGER A. PRYOR, now a lead
ing New York lawyer, was asked re
Gently what difference he saw between
the practice and knowledge of law in
the North and the South. He replied
that they read more law in the South
in little country Offices than the big
lawyers in the large cities did, but,
said he: "In this Northern region they
have a very extraordinary power to as
semble facts and overwhelm with evil
denca in order to carry their cases.
They do not argue upon the law points.
but beat you with their witnesses and.
their facts"

lam RNnnni.nn


Gen. J. H. Sharpe, of Lowndes
county, was in Aberdeen a few hours
on Saturday, and Was welcomed by
about three hundred voters of Monroe
county, in the parlors of the Gordon
House, who considered him as a prob
able candidate for the Fiftieth Con.
gress from the First District. Among
his visitors were many of "the boys"
who served in the late unp~leasantness
in his cammand, who grasped his
hand in the fervor of renewed friend
ship, while his pleasant address won
for him golden opinions from those
who had not met him upon previous
occasions. If he should become a
candidate for Congress he will receive
a warm support in this county.

COUNTRY persons visiting the city
will find a treasure in the Woman's
Exchagne in the way of a restaurant
and lunch-room. The ladies will find
all the conveniences of home, and will
secure the best dinner or lunch served
in the most a~ppetizing and clearly
style, at prices astonishingly low. In
deed we think the ladies in charge
have put the prices down too low.
All persons visiting Vicksburg
should go to the Woman's Exchange
and see for themselves if what we say
is not the truth. In patronizing the
place a double good is done-one gets
the best at the lowest rates and aids
deserving women and girls struggling
to support themselves.

WORRIED.

The Post is very much worried be-
cause the COMMERCIAL HERALD ad-
vised the Republican party in 1884,
shat il they would nominate Jeffords
he would have no opposition. If the
Post would reflecs a moment it would
not DE worried. 1t is not to relieve its
worry, however, that we informit why
we told the Republican party that JEFF
fords woul1 have no opposition, if his
party re-nominated him. 1t is to pre-
vent its repeated %insinuations, that
we had some sort of bargain or
deal with Jeffords from having
any effect. The reason we in
formed the Republican party that JET.
fords would not be opposed, was be-
cause in SO doing, we voiced the best
and almost the universal sentiment of
the Democratic party. Col. Percy and
all his followers were in accord with
US, and the matter was discussed and
fully understood between the Green
vile Times and VICKsBURG CONNER
CIAL HERALD. The Greenville Times
then as now. fully concurred with US
about the Congressional race in this
District.
There was not the slightest under
standing between Jeffords and the ed
itor of the COMMERCIAL HERALD about
the p%ostoffice or any other office, and we
trust tae insinuation even, will not be
repeated. We are quite sure Judge JEFF
fords had no understanding with any
Democrat, beyond a promise that he
would do the very best he could for
the material interests of the Delta.

The Geographic correspondent of the
New Orleans Times Democrat gives
the following information about the
local option election in Adams county:
"The election passed quietly. At the
last moment the Prohibitionists lacked
energy. No working was done at the
polls for their side. Some places were
even u%nproviled with tickets on time.
Great negligence was shown in their
management. Anything like a canvass
with work at the polls,would probably
have carried the county for Prohibit
ton. Even the w. G. T. U. was de-
ceived to the extent that they relied
IN the Mems Prohibition Union man
aging all the election business, and
only when it was too late did they
know otherwise. Thisl4t down of the
Prohibition Union made their effort a
failure, and the result is that Adams
county has gone overwhelmingly for
whisky"
Weekly commercial herald. (Vicksburg, Miss.) 1884-18??, 1886-06-18

THE Evening Post asks why the
policy of the Democratic party in the
District should be changed. 1t says
''if the best and almost universal sen
timent of the Democratic party was
opposed to a nomination in 1884, why
should the party make a nomination
in 1886, provided a reputable and able
Republican candidate is in the field ~
The situation is entirely different
now, and no one knows it better than
the Post. General Catchings Was
elected solely on the DELTA in
terests and having secured
a powerful committee position, and
displayed great zeal and tact, he is en-.
titled to precisely the concession from
the Republicans now the Democrats
freely offered Judge Jeffords in 1884
We are sure the intelligent colored PEG
pie Of the District understand the sit
uation, and will aid the Democrats tt
defeat any candidate who attempts t
ignore both parties.

Not Identified.

Half dozen men were arrested
last week and arraigned before a
magistrate at Eikmont, Ala, on the
charge of robbing the Elkmont
stage. John Young, the driver who
was robbed, was taken to Elkmont
to identify any of the party who
might be guilty, but after close in
spection failed to recognize any of
the party and they were released
Some Indignation was manifested
by the suspected men and their
friends, but as no one seemed spe-
cially to blame in the matter of
their arrest no scalps were taken.
1t was made evident to the prisoners
that their arrest was not the result
of malice and they knew not where
to seek redress.
The affair has dwindled down to
very small proportions. Some of
the boys had a row with John the
night before at the springs and it is
thought that they waylaid him to
whip him and not to rob him. The
people who live sabout Elkmont
Springs stand very greatly in their
own light if they fail to denounce
this affair and by all means prevent
a recurrence. ElkDont is in fair
way to be made big place and the
people living Whereabouts will be
benefited as it grows. They should |
therefore severely condemn such |
awlessness as tends TO frighten wo
men and children and keep people |
away. We learn that the good CIT
zens whereabouts are loud in their
of the affair.
