AN APPEAL THAT Is STILL PEND
ING.

In reports OF the proceedings Of
the Convention at Mississippi City
on the 18th inst, there occasionally
appears an effort to hide, or cover
up one feature of the proceedings.
When IL was announced by the
Chair that the fractional majority
was sufficient to nominate, Captain
d. G. Bramlett appealed from the
decision of the Chair. The Chair
absolutely refused to entertain the
appeal, and submit the question of
what should constitute a majority
to the Convention. Inasmuch as no
rule for determining what should
constitute a majority had been
adopted by the Convention, but as
it was generally understood that
seventeen should be such majority
the appeal should certainly have
been entertained, and the refusal to
do so was most arbitrary, and a
violation of all rules of parliament.

MIR. Jefferson Davis Speech at
Mississippi City.

Below we give MIR. Davis speech
before the Democratic COngresSiou
al Convention, on the 18th inst.
In response to loud and repeated
calls, Mr.. Davis addressed the Con
yention.
He said as Il MissisSippian, 1T
least, he could address the COnvpn-
ton. MI. DAVIS adverted 10 The
great importance of the duties of II
Congressman, and that danger now
always TO be unprecedented that the
position would be prOStituted to
personal ends. Time was when
that fear would have beemunreason.
able. is it so now? he asked. He
trusted that the Convention would
choose a man who would be found
roof against corruption. In old
days, this district aud tha whole
State vas represented 10y statesmen
of reuoWn.
Touching the question of Mr..
CleNeland'S appointments, Mr.. Dd-
Wis said the President was entirely
new to national politics aud there
fore he could not be expected to
escape occasional mistakes.
In regard to the negro vote Mr..
Davis SAID that the Southern Dem.
ocrats should be congratulated
upon having educated their slaves
up to a grade of civilization so high
that the Republicans thought them
fit to exercise the right of citizen
ship. The charge that the white
people of the South abused their
superior strength to Cypress the
blacks he denounced as calumnious.
He trusted that MiSsisSippiaus
never stOOp so low as to
down the vote or to take an
unfair advantage of the ignorant.

THERE is a missing link IN the
political history of Col. Stoekdale.
MI. N. q. Hill, OF Jones, in nominal
ing him for Congress in the Missis-
sippi City convention, gave a good
account of the COlOnel's labOrs as a
Democrat from 1872 to 1882. BIT
it was remarkable how Mr.. Hill
skipped over 1876, that eventful
year in the history of the politics
Of the State, and Col. StOckdale's
services for the Democratic party.
Nothing was said about what Capt.
John S. Lewis, Of tho WOOdville
Republican, had to say concerning
Col. Stackdale's adhesion 10 the
Republican party 10 1876. The
testimony on that subject is not
retuted by any one as yet.

Important tOD ealersi i'm Live Stock
and Butchers.

We notice in the report of the
grand jury, recently made public,
that special attention is directed TO
the clause in the code requiring all
butchers and dealers in live stock
10 keep a book of record in Which
shall be recorded all the ear marks
and brands of all animals passing
through their hands. The penalty
imposed for a failure to keep such
records is ''nOt less than 800 fine,
or six months Imprisonment in Jail,
at the discretion of the court.n
The Legislature thought this to be
a most important enactment, aud il
is really the only safeguard tue
stock owner has in these days of
uncertainty as to meum aud teum.
This important provision of the code
has been universally overlooked,
aud we advise all persons interested
to be very careful ia the future to
Keep a strict and intelligent record
OF all animals sold or slaughtered
them. The next grand jury
may not pass it by.-MeridiaH

clared every office from The Chan
cellOr down to Tutor vacant they
then proceeded to re elect all but D
members OF the Faculty they post
poned election to fill these five
chairs until July 9th and invited
competition. The Secretary sent
notices of these vacancies to the
great bureaus of education, to the
Press and to the Universities aud
colleges of the couutry-the result
was when the Trustees met in July
they bad about 800 applicants to
select from for these chairs, aud
their selection of tie same old Fac.
ulty of the University of Mississippi
from SO many learned aud distin-
guished educators Is practical evil
dence that at last the Trustees con-
clnded that the Faculty of the
University is a good one and that
they can do no better than to keep
them. Prot. f. E. Larkin was re-
elected Tutor.
