Congressional Candidate,

Editor Democrat-Star
Your article IN the last issue OF
the DEMooRAT-STAR respecting ouI
Congressional candidate and the
value of the services rendered by
Hou. II. s. Van Eaton, present in
cumbent, contains so much ulde-
niable political Souudness, | feel it
a duty TO not only express approval
OF your views, but to contribute a
thought or two in support of your
Congressional succession. Congress.
sional districts often fail of obtain
ing any recognition in Congress, by
individual preferences
aud personal ambition, aud electing
men to represent them that prove
to represent nothing but their own
selfishness.
Unless a man has gained political
distinction in his own State, and
is IA progressive thinker and an ag.
gressive worker, his first term in
Congress is a conspicuous blank,
except in always voting as some
party ideal votes, and iu drawing
his salary.
National politics is a most intri.
cate profession TO master, and if a
district desires to gain any reeog.
nitiOn and receive an iOta of bene.
fits thereby, it must send a repre-
sentative able to command proper
recognition, willing to work for it,
and possessed of sufficient charac-
ter and Self.respect, to be worthy
the personal consideration of polit.
ical leaders. Few men are endowed
with natural gifts, or possess the
acquired ability, to make them any
more than "fgure heads" iu Wash
politics.
There is, perhaps, no district rep
resented in Congress that have more
important u~ndeveloped interests,
that ought to be advanced, than
Sixth district but if new,
lDtried, incompetent men, that do

SEAMAN'S BETHEL.-Last week,
DR.. j. X. Mcleod, OF Moss Point.
in speaking of the benefits of the
New Orleans Seamen's Bethel at "A
meeting of the Presbytery, made
the following statement:
| have seen some sailors attend.
ing churches ut this place who in.
formed me that the desire of attend
ing church and not frequenting
public houses was caused by attend
ing services at the Bethel. | have
seen seamcn at this port acting
civiliy and living sOberly, who had
been in the habit of spending their
leisure hours in drinking and riot
MISCONDUCT. They attributed their
change in conduct to having attend
ed services at the Bethel. A pilot
on the Mobile bariuformed me that
he knew of a number of seaman
that were living as men and Chris
tians should who claimed to have
been converted at the New Orleans
Bethel.
Moved by this statement the
Rev. A. j. WitherSpoon expressed
himself as DESTROYS of establishing
a Bethel at this port, and we feel
assured he will give the matter
more serious consideration, as it
deserves. VIZ have no doubt but
that if the sailors who come to our
shores could be comfortably quar-.
tered, and have thrown around
them the proper restraints and
moral influences they might be
diverted into the channels of
sobriety and good citizenship, in
stead OF overcoming lasitude by
the popular mode of drink aud riot.

A PoINTER.-Under the home
stead law of the United States when
it becomes necessary to serve by
publication the law says it must be
printed in some newspaper printed
in the county where the land in
contest lies; and if no paper printed
IN such county, then in the paper
printed nearest the county to the
land. Now we take the ground
that no "patent inside" or "out.
newspaper can make a legal
publication under the requirements
the homestead law. The DEMO.
.RAT.STAR being the only news.
paper printed in Jackson county, is
therefore the paper that alone can
make a land notice legal or any
other advertisement emenating
from the courts of the county a
legal publication. Parties interest.
ed bad better bear this in mind and
govern themselves accordingly.
