Not Defeated for their Tariff Views

1t is hardly fair on the part of
some of the free trade papers of the
South To charge that the failure to
receive denominations by some of
the southern congressman il attiib.
uta HE to their failure to support
the tariff revision bill introduced by
Mr.. Morrison. At least this rca>
son cannot he assigned rs the cause
of the defeat of those who failed to
secure II denomination in MisSisSip.
pl. Every instinct of Col. Single.
tons heart was in favor of the old
time democratic doctrine of "tanfl
tor revenue only" Our own repre-.
sentative, Judge Van Eaton, was
equally firm in the support Of the
same doctrine. while Maj. Barks-
dale was outspokcn at all times in
favor of reduction of taliff rates.
Yet NIL these failed of rr.nomina-
iion, although their places were
filled hy persons who probably en-.
tcrtained the same views. In the
cnnvuSscS Of these gentlemen II is
probable that no attempt w;.s made
To make capital out of their views

with paragraphs like the following
in the tree trade newspapers.

The Next President.

There is such n general lull IN pc.

points OF difference presenting

prcpOnderating political parties,
that newspapers are indulsing in {,

County Candidates,

We are glad to note one change up.
on the political horizon of Copiah's
unterriiied democracy. We have
heard Of only few candidates for any
of the county offices, though it is only
about one year until the entire list of
county Offices will bc declared vacant.
This, wa think, is good omen for the
party, from the fAc, that il shows lit.
tie mo,lcsty has NJ last taken posses
sion of the public Office seeker, an!
that he is forced t, suppress dcs re
10 come forward through old vox pop
uli, or many voters, pasading before
the public his many virtues. aud debts
the grand old party owes to him. II
shows another thing, too, viz: that Tia,
time is near at hand when the office
will seek tho man, and not vice versa
This win be the nearest approach to the
millennium that great number OF Us
will ever enjoy. As general thing
when an official bee gets to buzzing in
candidates ear he hears call from
the tour quarters Of the earth to lay
himself GU the altar. and to forego er-
cry personal consideration for the
dear pcopl. and party. Every
smile that greets him is IN intimatioi
TO him that the originator of that
smile wants to vote for him, and thu:
he goes on in his imagination until he
feels so sorry for the other candids,-'
that he ventures 10 speak to u few oi
his intimate friends and suggests "a
them TO vote.for lis opponents in order
that they may not feel too bad in the
convention. Sometime this il carried
too far, and he speaks To to many oI
his friends, that the other fellow gets
elected We dD not wish it under

dates from coming out. On the con
trary we will be happy TO announce
half a dozen good men for each Office

This time the cry of cotton worms

Tensas report them rs sweeping

day AMI the attempts to poison

futile. The rains either wash fhe
poison off the leaves, or so weaken

eat poisoned and imprisoned fields

Of them are destroyed the supply
