A Sad Occurrence in Covington
County.

The relation Of a sad event comes TO US
from Covington county. Mr.. W. Nj. JAYNE,
of Brandon, in company with Mr. Thos.
II. johnson, were visiting Covington coun-
ty on business. On Sunday afternoon, Mr..
JAYNE was preparing to take his cousin,
Miss Melissa Howell, fr.n her fathers
residence, near Mt Carmel, to her school,
some eight miles distant. Having united
the horse, and before Mr.. Jayne was ready
to assist her, Miss Powell attempted TO ger
into the buggy, remarking that she needed
no assistance or words to that effect. Be-
fore Miss Powell could reach the buggy
seat, the horse sprang rapidly forward.
Mr.. Jayne could not secure the lines,
which were tied to the dashboard, and in
the attempt, was thrown to the ground in
consequence OF the opposite wheel striking
half-opened gate in It's progress. A few
rods further the buggy wheel, on The side
on which Miss Powell was clinging, struck
an oak, and the partly demolished buggy
was inverted. Miss Powell was violently
thrown IN the air, her head striking The
tree and falling with crushing force uIor

OLIVER CLIFTON, ESQ.
Dear SRI am in receipt of your let
ter OF the Sth inst, in which, among
other things, you state that it is your
understanding that Maj. Barksdale and
myself jointly participated in all pro
ceedings relating to the appoin tment of
postmaster at Jackson, and are equally
responsible for what was done in relation
to it; yet some of the parties who are
dissatisfied with our joint action haze
arraigned Maj. Barksdale as solely re-
sponsible for the proceeding. You also
suggest that my equal responsibility
cannot be generally known, and you en-
quire whether your understanding, as
above set forth, is correct, and ask that
| state the circumstances concering the
matter so far as l may deem proper.
In answer, | have to say that your un-
derstauding is correct.
The only circumstance necessary to be
stated, is that Maj. Barksdale was at
hrst unaer the impression that we
were bound to recommend Mr.. Bulkley,
and | was not. After full conference
and free interchange of opinion aud
examination of the papers, we both
reached the conclusion which we an
aounced through the press; and we then
agreed to recommend General Adams
Recalling the circumstances, it is proper
for me to state that am equally respon-
sible for the result with Maj. Barksdale
and, in fact, more so, since, if | had con-
Cured in the impression which Mai.
Barksdale first had, the result might
have been, and probably would have
been different. Yours, very.respectfuly,

siGere6 in connection with the common

Federal Jurisdiction.

In the case of William Stone q. The
STATE Of South Carolina, decided by the
Supreme Court of the United States on
the 9Th inst, il was decided that suit
between State and citizen begun in
State court could not be removed to a
United States Court ON the ground of
citizenship, because State cannot, in
the nature of the case. be a citizen of
any State.
In the same case il was held that the
mere filing of a petition for removal
does not work a transfer; that the suit
must be one that may be removed; that
the petition must recite the facts which
show that the United States Court has
jurisdiction, and that the petitioner has
right to demand the removal, and
that in every case it is competent for
the State Court to decide for itself
whether, on the face of the record, the
removal has been effected. II a State
court after petition filed decides that
there has been no transfer, il proceeds
at the peril of haYing its proceedings

The Fifth Congressional District.

EDITOR CLARION As YOU have ad-
mitted to your columns the long letter ot
Mississippi Democrat censuring the
press of this, tue 9th Congressional Dis
trict, and praising the Hon. o. r. Single
ton, / ask small space in your valuable
paper to give other views in regard to this
Congressional District. Two years ago
Col Singleton promised, without qualifi-
cation, to retire to private life at the end
of this term; ard now Mississippi Demo-
crat thinks he ought to bold on and not
ssgive place to young, ambitious aspirants" J"
l. it any worse to be young and ambi-
tious than ii is to be old and ambitious /?
When will cur people have an opportunity
to try new man? When Col Singleton
is dead. Then, whoever is sent 10 Con-
gress from this District will be new in the
office, and Col. Singleton will be past Civ
ing any aid, advice or counsel to the new
member Would that be any better, then,
to elect new man, so that he can get
assistance from our long time member :?
Other districts in the State elect new men
TO Congress, and seem to be we'll pleased
with the change. Why should this dis
trict be an exception? Have we no men
who could fill the position creditably?
Ii Col Singleton has done 30 much
better than his colleagues as to deserve
lifelong seat in Congress from this State,
there are other Democrats candid enough
to desire hi.1 to again move into another
district and if Mississippi Democrat and
Col. Singleton think his nomination by
majority of the people is assured, let them
favor primary election throughout the
entire district Will they do it? Dare
they trust the Democrats in giving free
and fair expression of their choice in pri-
mary electiou2 Let as hear from Missis
sippi Democrat in regard TO this matter.
The other aspirants, though they ere
young, / trow, will not fear to meet the
old wsr-horse before the people, and dis
cnss his fair record. This proposition may
be new in regard to The nomination of
Congressman, but am sure il is fair and
could be made 20 give more harmony and
less friction than the mode heretofore 10
practice. BY all means let all the people
have voice IN this nomination. This is
