The Lash on Democratic Backs.

The New York Tribune cracks the Re-
publican lash on Mr.. Randall's back. 1t
is angry because the Pennsylvania Con-
gresham proposes to introduce bill re-
vising the tariff 1t threatens him and
his thirty-four associates with Republi-
can wrath and punishment if he and
they shall dare to speak of the reduction
of tariff taxes. 1t assumes that the
thirty-five men who hold seats in the
federal House of Representatives as
Democrats are under such obligations to
the Republican party that they will be
faithless if they act against it on the
tariff question.
The Tribune's article contains most
extraordinary admission. 1t states that
the thirty-five Democratic Congressman
who voted against the fulfillment of the
Democratic promise to revise the tariff
are the beneficiaries of the Republican
party; that they have claimed and re-
ceived much credit and support on the
ground that they could be trusted a:
well as Republicans on the tariff ques
ton. The Tribune boldly asserts thai
the thirty five are under obligations tc
violate their party pledge and to vote
against the consideration of any bill fol
the revision of the tariff.-N. Y Sun.

Democratic friends, the men whose force

The Riugmaster and His Whip.

In the bitterness Of his heart the At
lanta Constitution cries out:
There are a great many Democrats in the
House-some OF them from the South, I'M
fortunately, on whose votes Mr.. Morrison
appears TO hold lien, and il is undoubted-
ly to his political interest to air his propri-
e orship by fourishing forth occasionally
as ringmaster. He has a long whip, and
he cracks it abont the ears OF his fellow
Congressman to a very good purpose, so far
as he is personally concerned, since il is in
the nature of an advertisement.
The Atlanta paper inagines that Sam
Randall and his little "rump" of Thirty
five in the House constitute the Demo
cratic party. Mr.. Morrison, as the leader
of the tariff bill, was simply the spokes
man of the great national Democratic
party; he cracked no whip; he sounded
Hast upon the Democratic trumpet,
and lol there stood by his side the Dem
ocratic President of the United States

University of Mississippi.

At the annual meeting of the Board
of Trustees of the State University, in
Oxford, last week, the chairs of all the
Faculty were declared vacant. The
Board, subsequently, re elected Chan
cellor Stewart, and Messrs. Fulton, Hut
son, Fitzhugh, Latham, Mayes, Larkin,
and Miss Isom, to the chairs they have
heretofore filed, and postponed, for the
present, the election of Professors of
Greek, Latin, Mathematics, English and
Natural History. These positions have
been filled for many years by Rev. DIR.
John j. Wheat, Prof. A. ]. Quinche,
Gen. G. w. Sears, Rev. DIR. j. L. John
son and DIR. George Little. The Board
will have a special meeting at Oxford,
July 81, to fill vacancies. The salary of
each of the positions vacated is two
thousand dollars per annum.
This action of the Trustees was the
sensation of Commencement week, and
has elected various comments. 1t was
certainly surprise to all concerned, and
while we are confident that the board
did not intend any reflection upon those
members of the Faculty who were not
reelected, it is so construed by many Of
their friends. 1t would have been bet
ter, perhaps, after the chairs were all
declared vacant, to let them so remain
until the date above named.
The communication Of "Alumnus,"
which we publish to-day, voices the pub
lie anxiety as to the University. The
attendance is not as large as it ought to
be, and there has been a want of har
mony in the teaching force, and want

are not acquainted, but we have nm

Defeat of a Clever Scheme.


The proceedings of the Kinds County
Democratic Committee show that the
proxy of Mr.. L. St. Leon was denied a
voice in the Committee. 1t is said that
Mr.. st. Leon has written a letter to Mr..
L. F. Chiles, in which he uses the fol-
lowing language:
''Under the circumstances, / protest
against the action of the Executive
Committee in depriving me of my citi-
zenship; and further, as this action was
taken in the professed interest of Major
E. Barksdale, | shall expect him to sec
ond this protest, unless he wishes to re-
turn to Congress by, through and under
the authority of unjust and unfair
means"
The fact is that Mr.. St. Leon aban-
doned his home in this county some time
ago and is now located in Vicksburg, to
which place he has moved flock, stock
and barrel" He is fxture in Vicks.
burg, dependent, of course, ON his ability
to maintain himself there This is the
condition of residence anywhere in the
world, and is not peculiar to Mr.. St.
Icons residence in Vicksburg.
The question is not one of citizenship,
but of residence. OF course the Com
mittee had no right to deprive Mr.. St.
Leon of his citizenship, but it did have
the right to decide whether he had
changed his residence to another county,
and a change of residence is inconsist-
ent with membership of the Committee.
He admits that he has changed his resi-.
dence.
In 1881, the Hon. j. B. Perkins, of
Tunica county, a holding-over member
of the Mississippi Senate, went to Mem
phis to practice law Straightway Gov.
Stone declared that there was vacancy
in the Senate, and ordered an election to
fill the vacancy. Mr. " B. Waddell
was elected. When the Legislature met
in 1882, Perkins and Waddell both
claimed the seat, and though Perkins
''swore by all that was good and holy
that he had not changed his citizenship,
the Senate accorded the seat to Waddell
Under the law and the decisions of
the courts Mr.. ST. Leon has no nome
stead rights in Kinds county. His for.
mer homestead here could be seized for
his debts, if he owes any and has title to
| 1t. In such case his claim of home
stead exemption would not be recog-
nized by the courts. We could cite de-
cided cases in support of this position.
The appointment of person on. the
County Committee, presupposes that he
will remain a resident Of the county.
This, all sensible people will admit.
This was the supposition when Mr.. St.
Leon was appointed and he knows it.
The Committee did right to reject his
proxy. If he had appeared in person it
should have declared that his seat was
vacant. 1t was his duty when he aban-
doned his residence in Kinds to have
sent his resignation, and ..not..some one 10
represent him.
We don't blame the partisans of Col.
Hooker because they are sore that their
clever little trick didn't work. Least Of
all do we blame Mr.. st. Leon who,
though lawyer, seems to be under the
impression that the Democratic Execu-
tive Committee of Kinds county have
banished him. They have simply I'M
horsed him.
If he is as honest and just and fair as
Maj. Barksdale he need have no fear Of
his success in Vicksburg.

On November q, 1886, VIM. R. Moore

that Black & Sudduth, on the 18th OF
November, 1885, took out policy OF
insurance against fire in this Company,
to the amount of $500, on their stock
of merchandise; that this stock OF mer-
ehandise was claimed by Black & Sud
duth to have been damaged by fire on
Nov. Goth, 1885; but that the claim has
not been proven in accordance with the
contract; that this company denies lia-
bility therefor: that the matter is in
volved in dispute and litigation yet to
ensue, the company having refused to
pay said claim, being determined to re
sist the same in the courts of the coun-
try The plaintiffs traversed all the

read the policy of insurance, read the

that the proof was furnished the com
pany within thirty days after the fire
