By request OF several gentlemen OF this
city, DR.. Truesdell, the noted Scientist and
Metaphysical Healer, submitted to a pri-
vate test of his phenomenal powers In their
presence, at the Grand Opera Hall, on Mon
day afternoon, May 18th.
Three "sufferers' from chronic rheuma-
tism were brought (almost instanta eously)
under the influence OF the operator, and
each, In turn, forced to cry "enough,
whenever the Doctor brought the full power
of Mind Tor wild to bear upon their bodies.
and each subject was thrown into violent
trembling of the entire body err Gained
down, at will. The limbs weie shaken or
drawn up by motion OF the OPERATOR hand
and the most acute pain induced or sent
away without touch.
The force was ielt with equal power
when the Doctor stood the length OF the hall
from his subject.

Mr.. Catchings and the Rivers and
Harbors Committee.

MI. Catchlngs and the Rivers and
Harbors Committee.
Greenville Times.
To secure this position Mr.. Catch
ipgs has exerted himself most actively,
solely indeed. Fortunately enjoying
favored relations with our senators
and older Congressman. representing a
district with a patent and %undeniable
claim for such recognition; he has sue
ceeded in the face of a strenuous con-
test for a place on this important COM
mittee over a number Of old and in
duential members.
Upon this committee, charged with
preparing plans and procuring appro-
priations for the inn rovement of navi-
cation Of the river, the preservation of
its harbors and incidentally protection
of the adjacent country from overflow;
Mr.. Catchings will bestOw his whole
labor. He is imbued with and bound
up in no specific theories of treatment
of the river, tinctured by no local pre-
JUDGES and jealousies; the twin here
sizes which wrecked river interests in
the last Congress. We believe that
Mr.. Catchings possesses the wisdom to
discriminate upon, and restrict himself
to, the feasible; which he will seek to
accomplish through practical ways.
1t is not to be forgotten that the
outlook for an appropriation adequate
to the necessities of the lower river is
not favorable. AS our readers are
aware we have INDUCED small hopes
of any recovery of lower river inter
ests. from the ruin wrought by the
fatal unwisdom of the Rivers and
Harbors Committee Of the last Con.
gress. But all chance that was fol
this recovery, lay in securing genuine
unbiased representation upon the au-
tCcracy of this committee. This rep
resentation Mr.. Breckinridge, of an
interior Arkansas district, and NOR
bidly imbued with engineering crotch
cts, in vindication of which he did not
hesitate to throw himself athwart the

Imprisonment for Debt.

New York World.
The first business Of the State Leg
islature which meets to-day ought to
be the passage of bill for the imme-
diate and unconditional adjustment
Of Imprisonment for debt. There is
NO possible justification or excuse for
locking a man up 10 Jail and depriving
him of his liberty because he met with
misfortunes or is pecuniarily embar-
raised. 1t is a barbaIism which has
been thus far tolerated mainly because
it has been a source of, large profit to
men who have been ready
to bride legislators to keep it
in existence. The Sheriffs Of New
York, who have found Ludlow street
jail one Of their NEST valuable priv
leges, have sent a lobby to Albany
whenever a proposition to abolish i'm
prlsonment for debt has been started.
They have of curse been backed by
lawyers and the creditor class, while
the poor bankrupt debtors have been
unrepEesented.
The present Sheriff is distinctly
pledged to aid instead of opposing such
a law, and there ought to be no delay
in its enactment. The pTetense that it
would encourage fraud and ras-
cality in mourning debt and in
bankruptcies is unsound. Per-
SONS guilty of false pretenses,
of fraudulent representations, of con-
cealment or conveyance of effects to
cheat creditors, and of other s~windling
practices are liable to define punish
ments under the penal code. If the
criminal laws r n%otstringent enough
in such cases they should be revised.
But under no circumstances should
Imprisonment for any debt be allowed
to stain the New York statute book.
The adjustment of Ludlow street
Jail is one Of the reforms demanded at
the hands Of this Legislature.

zHE %B1KKRNPYcY ELL.

1t is stated that letters and petitions
are pouring in upon Congressman
urging the enactment of a National
Bankrupt law. There is a growing
sentiment that something should be
done this winter, but there is a wide
difference OF opinion as to the kind Of
law needed by the business interests
Of the country.
The House Judiciary Committee,
last year, reported on the Lowell Bill,
and this bill has been Endorsed by
many of the leading Commercial
Exchanges and business men of the
country.
Mr.. Tucker, Chairman Of the House
Judiciary Committee, is of the opinion
that a general bankrupt law should be
passed, and believes that the
business sentiment of the country was
also in favor of it. Mr.. Tucker takes
the ground that a man in business who
is unfortunate is entitled to a chance Of
being set IN his feet again and if a
law is enacted it should be SO framed
that all creditors should have an equal
chance and the debtor forced into
bankruptcy ii one creditor finds that
the debtor is giving preference to
other creditors. Again, he thinks, in
enacting a general bankrupt law, that
provisions should he made to settle up
bankruptcies in the counties where
the failures occur, and thus avoid
heavy expenses travelling from place
to place etc"

DEATH on THE COTTON KING.
The public was startled by the sud
den. death Of Colonel Edmund Richard.
son, which occurred in jackson Mon
day night. Like the rich man Of the
NOrth-Mr. Vanderbilt-Mr. Richard
son died with little or no warning, and
probably from the same cause. He
was IN Vicksburg the day Of his death,
and it was remarked that he looked
unusually well foF a man of his cares
and age. After reaching Jackson be ate
a hearty meal in a restaurant, after
which no one knew he was ailing
until he was found in adying condition.
Thus passed away one Of the most
remarkable men ever known in the
Mississippi Valley.
Mr.. Richardson was born in North
Carolina and at the time of his
death was si~xty-seven years and seven
months of age.
He had limited facilities of
education in Richmond, Virginia, and
entered business early. His promi-
nent characteristics were economy and
ildomitable energy. These two made
his immense fortune.
When a young man he moved to
Mississippi, and at different times was
actively and successfully engaged in
business in Clinton, Brandon and Jack
son. at the time Of his death he OWL
ed a large number of valuable
cotton plantations, numerous stores.
various stocks and oil mills and was
the senior partner Of the gigantic cotton
~tactorage firm Of Richardson s. May,
of New Orleans. 1t is believed he was
the largest cotton planter in the world,
not excepting the Khedive of Egypt.
He married a Miss Patton, Of Ala
bama, sister of the ex.Gov-
ernor Of that name. He had
a large family of obs ard
daughters to whom he was devoted
and kind to a fault. He possessed an
elegant and costly residence in New
Orleans, but be travelled a great deal
looking after his vast landed interest,
and did not remain at home much of
his time. His towering robust form
vas a familiar figure in Louisiana,
Mississippi and Arkansas.
1t is estimated he was worth 1880,
COO. That is a very large sum, when
it is borne in mind it was not accumu-
lated in stock gambling or railroad
w~reckiDg, but in legitimate planting
and commercial transactions.
May his spirit have that rest, which
his untiriDg nature never permitted
his body during life.

THE LIEN Law.

To effect the repeal of the above
named lew requires no agitation on the
part Of the press Of the State. In fact,
we have noticed very little in u
State exchanges, for a year past in re-
gard to the subject. Our exchanges,
We imagine, like ourselves, have ar
rived at the conclusion that the iDiqui-
ty is about to repeal itself. 1t is well
that the law should die in this way.
We would not now make mention of
it but for the reason that our jackson
correspondent informs US that Senator
Burkitt has given notice that he will
shortly introduce a bill providing for
its repeal.
1t matters little how the thing goes
out of existence, whether by natural
death or by legal enactment, the State
can only be profted. The purposes
for which the law was originally en-
acted have been perverted and abused.
Instead of encouraging agriculture,
instead OF acting as a stimulous to the
laborer it has had the opposite effects.
1t has iaken the management Of the
agricultural and planting interests out
Of the hands Of those to whom they le-
Ultimately belongs and placed them, in a
large measure, in the hands of the mer-
camille class-and the result has been
the over production of one staple crop
to the neglect Of other crops. Over
production means low pricrs, hence we
find in the year of grace 1886, that a
crop Of nearly 100000 bales Of cot
ton will not yield as much money to
the producer, as 5,000,0 900 bales did ten
years ago. Bnt this is not all. Lands
have been worm out, valuable places
allowed to run down, all for lack Of
intelligent and skillful farming. The
experiment has been a costly one, and
now that it has run its course, we can
but repine, and have no objections to
Senator Burkitt writing its obituary.
