A great deal of foolish " non.
sense is being INDUCED in by some
of the most ignorant colored people
touching the question of wages, al.
leging that Hayes, the newly elect.
ed Sheriff, will fix and reduce the
laborers' wages. They forget the
fact, il indeed, they ever knew It,
that sheriffs are elected to execute
and enforce existing statutory laws,
and not to legislate or fix rules for
the government of the affairs OF pri.
vate individuals. The question of
labor and laborers' wages are gov.
erned altogether by the demand for
labor and the market value of the
product of their labor. Labor and
wages will regulate itself without
the Intervention of either the defeat
ed or the successful candidate.

was promptly invited over. He came,
and on invitation brought party of

often happened both in the East and
West during the war, men who had
spent the day in active efIors to take
each others lives gathered around

his war experience, says the Chicago
Mail, going 10 show that during the

prisoners, most OF whom had manned
the works Immediately in front of
them during the siege. These pris-
oners were supplied with rations un-
der Genaral Grants order, the same
as their guards, but they didn't al
ways, or even generally, eat alone.
The Union soldiers shared with them
TO great extent, aud, while guard
ing them as prisoners, really treated
them as old friends and discussed
the incidents OF the seige with them
with great relish. Among the pris-
oners was a young officer named
Saunders, belonging to an Arkansas
regiment, who became a favorite in
the camp of the Seventeenth and
spent good deal Of time for few

EDITOR OsCEolA TIMES, One Of
the most interesting elections ever
held in Mississippi county took place
on the 9th. day OF this month. The
like has never been before in the
history Of the county. Colored and
white voters blended and banded
together with common determina-
tion TO defeat the enemy.
They were defeated; the victory
is ours; and why rot rejoice? The
battle was fierce, the contest hot;
but on the 9th, about eveutide we
heard the shout everywhere, Victory!
Victory is ours, aud again say,
why not rejoice? You are out from
under the yoke; free from the op-
pressor; now do the thing that is
right; love and serve the Lord, and
We shall dwell IN your land safely
(So says the Bible.(
TO you who are newly elected,
while you are rejoicing, aud we are
rejoicing with you, remember the
eyes o, the country, far and near,
are upon you, watching your adj
,ninistration, and noting the contrast
between your conduct and that Of
the officials Of the past. The enc
my is waiting to tell it to his neigh
Dor; the press is waiting to bear the
news of your success or failure from
sea TO sea. IL is with YOU to make
the hearts Of your ooan,rymen re-
joice, BY proving worthy Of the
