| "A PECULIAR case was tried here
during the term of the District Court
just closed, which presents a novel in
stance of mistaken identity. A color.
ed man was arrested as Robert How.
ard for obtaining money under false
pretenses frem a citizen, and the evi.
dence was so conclusive that he was
che party verdict of guilty vas found
and he was sentenced to a year in the
penitentiary. Even his own supposed
father swore he was the man who OBJ
tanned the money. The prisoner con-
tended that he was not Robert How
ard, but was Hamp Derry, of Pales-
tine, Texas, and was in Palestine on
the day he was charged with obtain
ing tim money, and was in the office
of lawyer named Greenwood trans
acting business with him on that very
day. One Of his witnesses, who testi
fled to this fact, was jailed by the Dis
trict Attorney for perjury. Mr.. John
N. Hicks, attorney for Howard, alias
Derry, interested himself for bis client
to such an extent that to-day he had
in court Lawyer Greenwood, of Palcs-
tine, and proved mp a clear case of
mistaken identity, resulting in dis
charge of the party in Jail for perjury,
and a recommendation from the Judge
to the Pasdoning Board to pardon
Derry at once. But for the efforts of
Attorney Hicks, Derry would have
gone to the penitensiary with the gang
which left yesterday. 1t seems that
Derry is u member of the knights of

Shreveport Journal: A corrcspon.
dent of the New York Star administers
the following deserved fagelation to
the ours who never cease to yelp at
the heels of Mr.. Davis. The writer
should by all means have headed his
remarks thus: Gan open letter to the
editor of the Globe Democrat, and 9TH
ers of his kidney" Here is what he
says:
Will you hear word from one who
was an abolitionist, open and avowed,
and resident in the South long before and
during the war-ever bitter foe to pro-
slavery and SECESSION 1t concerns the
abuse hcaped on Jefferson Davis and his
admirers. There is base, low-down,
contemptihle spirit in some men that is
never content with physically beating an
enemy, but would cuslave his soul as well.
This is shamefully manifested by those
who persistently prosecute Jefferson Da-
Wis, and endeavorto magnify every speech
OF his at Confederate reunions. 1t is the
spirit of cowarlly tyranny that ever fears
the beaten foe, and cannot understand
the generosity that still clings to the creed
of vanished time. A triumphant people
should take pride in the manliness of
those they defeated. They honor them
selves in doing so. The "cause of the
South is thing of the past. But so
long as human souls give decent burial to
their dead, and tender sentiment survives,
and memory is not deadened by the glare
of material prosperity, just so long will
the noble vanquished hold in tender res
pect lost cause for which they suffered
and bled and. their brothers died. And
wherever man is not mere brute, he must
admire this in former foes as much as he
prizes honor, truth and sincerity above
the worship of present success. We bury
our dead with tears, and annually honor
their memories; and we return to the
duties of the morrow better men for in
dulging the sentiment,

THERE is something akin to the
marvellous in the industrial growth of
the Soath during the last ten years.
Take, for instance, the increase ofcap-
ital invested in new manufacturing and
mining works in the Southern States
during the first quarter of the present
year, which foots up the enormous sum
Of S36,557,000, almost double the
invested in the corresponding
period of last year, which was $751;
100000. 1t is this phenomenal growth
which is so rapidly changing the polit-
ical and economic ideas of the South
ern people Il Philadelphia Inquirer,

COL. SECUP SPEAKS,

Col. Shoup, who was announced by
the Boise Statesman as having consent
ed to nomination from the republicans
of Idaho, in letter to Maj Huston, may
OF of BOISE City, makes use of the fol
lowing language;
"You can announce the fact that in
reply to an inquiry made by you, posi-
lively decline to become a candidate, and
will not accept the nomination if ten
dcred "
We suppose Col. shoup knows his own
business and can speak for himself. This
leaves 10 other aspirant in the field ex-
cept Dubois, so far as known. This be
inc the case the northern counties can as
well send no delegates to the convention
at Haley. Dubois won't pledge himself
to support annexation, and there remains
nothing for the northern republicans to
do but stay at home and run their swn
boat. Claeget has been made delegate
from Shoshone to the convention by q
committee, and not by the people OF
Shoshone county, and is an announced
Montana annexationist. The people
have nothing to do in making up the
slate, but they may have something tC
say at the polls.
