The Crescent City Excursion

Every thing seems to indicate that
Col. HOgg's Crescent City Excursion
which is to run from Canton to New
Orleans on Dec. 9Th, will be grand
success. Every arrangement is being
made for the comfort and convenience
of passengers and to prevent over
crowding. Ample accommodations
will be made for all, and all disorder
and rOwdyism positively prohibited.
The fact, however, that Col. Hogg is
in charge, is a sufficient guarantee of
all this. 1t only rema ins for all those
who would like to make a cheap and
and pleasant trip to the Crescent City,
to get ready and be prepared when
the 5th of Dec. rolls around. The
round trip from Brookhaven will be
only $3.50 tickets good to return on
any regular train within five days.

What Caused Defeat.

There were no doubt many causes
which conspired to bring about the
late Democratic defeat, but to our
mind the ones which turned the scale
were these: /, Cleveland's Civil Ser
vice policy, which had bred indiffer-
ence among the best party workers;
End, Cleveland was traded off in New
York by the friends of Hill, Grant
and Hewitt; 3rd, the Republicans
were backed by the rich manufactur-
ers and monopolists of the North, and
literally flooded the doubtful States
of New York and Indiana with money
and bought up every purchasable
vote. That it was not due directly
TO tariff reform position of the Demo-
craacy is shown by the fact that the
Democrats won in New Jersey and
Connecticut, which States have i'm
mense manufacturing interests, and
the large gains made in Pennsylvania,
Ohio and other Republican States.

nuptials, and while we cannot be

other friends in wishing the loving
couple the fullest measure of happi-
ness and usefulness to be attained in
this life. They go at once to Saltillo,
Mexico, brother Chastain's missionary

J. NJ. GRAFTON,
Co. Supt. Education.

The New Orleans Picayune attrib-
utes Cleveland's defeat largely to his
Civil Service policy and the conse-
quent Indifference of the trained pol
iticians and political managers.
These had profited little by the vieto-
ry which they claim they won for
him four years ago. They saw their
ancient political foes retained in Office
and fattening under Democratic
administration while they, in their
own estimation at least, the most i'm
portant servants of the party, were
empty and naked and without any
substantial acknowledgment of their
services. They did not see the good
that was to inure to them from again
assisting in the election of Mr.. Cleve-
land if they were to continue to go
naked and empty, SO they withheld
their hands and refused to do any
work either clean or dirty, honest or
the contrary. This is what beat Mr..
Cleveland in New York City, and it
made large disattection for him
everywhere. There was no failure of
the people at large, but of the trained
workers who are practically more than
the people.

Who Are "ScalaWags.o

The New Orleans States thus de-
fines the meaning of the word "Scal-
awag." To her honor be it said, Lin
coin has only few of the species left :
A scalawag is an ex-Confederate
soldier who, after the war in which
he was physically crushed by force of
arms, came home to crawl and fawn
before the dominant faction of his
cOnquerors, recanting the principles
which, residing in the soul of every
native SOutherner, are as immortal as
the soul itself of Constitutional lib
erty and the supremacy of the white
race. This, in terse definition, is
what we call scalawag. We make
no distinction between scalawag
dating back from 1868 and one dating
from 1884.

An Error Corrected.

Some of our exchanges seem to be
laboring under a misrepresentation
regarding the libel proceedings pend
ing against the editor of this paper.
The cases to be tried in the Madison
county Circuit Court the last of this
month were carried there on change
of venue from Kinds, instead of War
rem, as many seem to think. There
has been no change of venue in the
Warren cases and none applied for.
They were to have been tried in War
len county in October, but the yellow
fever scare so scattered the witnesses
and disorganized matters that they
were continued until the March term.

Et Tu. Brute?

When Major Gibbs was telling his
Indebtedness and nal administration
of LOwryism and charging it to the
Democratic party, why didn't he also
tell them that he deserted his own par
ty 7 years ago and took the stump
with that other carpet-bagger, Dugan,
for this same Lowry; and what's more,
has been the fast friend of Lowryism
ever since? Why didn' the tell them
about the editorials he wrote in that
bogus and now defunct Democratic
sheet, the jackson Advertiser, defend
ing Lowry and lauding his admins
tratiOn, while honest journals like the
LEADER were exposing its rottenness,
and calling upon the Democracy to
purge itself. Yes, why didn't the
Major explain these things to his col
ored hearers? WhyG-BrOokharen
Leader.
Great Heavens! Great Heavens.
Governor Lowry deserted by Gibbs
Will wonders never cease? Will the
administration tribulatiOns never
end? Will it's friends never stop de-
sorting it? AS Governor BOb's admin
istration grew in rottenness the old
Republican crew smelled about it a
sweet SAVIOR that brought back halcyon
memories that preceded rs; and as
it lost caste with good democrats, it
grew in "a corresponding degree of
favor with the carriOn crew. But alas.
alasi it has reached such a limit that
even the cast-irOn stomach of Gibbs
can no longer stand it and he spews
it forth in disgust and loathing.
Dear Bob has had much to contend
with, but when he finds that he has
been deserted by Gibbs, well may he
exclaim as did Caesar when he beheld
the shining dagger of his best beloved
raised against him, "Et tn, Brute?"
The burden of Gibbs song "No sur
plus in the Treasury" must constitute
the sad explanation.-New Missis-
sippian.

A Tribute to Cleveland.

Gov. Hill was serenaded after his
brilliant victory in New York last
week, and in the course of his speech
paid the following deserved tribute to
President Cleveland. Mr.. Cleveland's
failure will not lower him in the es-
TEEN of his party; on the contrary,
his unselfish devotion to,its principles,
and his manly fight under its banner,
should and will for all time command
the respect of every true Democrat:
"Our success in the gubernatorial
contest is married, however, by the
shadow of national disaster. In COM
mon with every true Democrat, |
greatly regret the defeat of President
Cleveland in the State and in the ma
ton. He deserved better at the hands
of the people Ofthis country. Honest,
brave and courageous, he CALAMITY
led his party in the great contest for
tariff reform, and suffers defeat, Ow-
ing to false clamor, unjust prejudices,
unfair representations and the gigantic
and combined efforts of all the mo-
nOpollsts of the country. He did his
duty, as he understood it. regardless
of personal or political considerations
and he should have been sustained by
the taxpayers, consumers and masses
of the people whose true interests he
desired to subserve and whose rights
he unselfshly endeavored to main
tain. 1t is not now necessary or profit
able toinquire whether the issue lie so
boldly made might not more wisely
have been earlier presented or post
poned to later period. 1t is sufficient
to say that as the trusted leader of the
Democratic party, after full and
careful consideration of the subject,
he deemed that the best and truest
interest of the country required that
the issue should be made at this cri-
sis, and with that patriotic and DELHI
crate conclusion when once reached
there should have been prompt acqui-
eScenCe.n
The Brookhaven leader., 1888-11-15

Our Lucius Quintius Curtius may
be dreamer and all that, but he
builded far more wisely than any OF
his fellow Democrats. Whilst the
President and his cabinet and foreign
ministers and all the lesser Democrat
ic lights will soon have to give place
to the hungry incoming host of Repub-
lican office-seekers and return to the
shades of private life, our Lucius is
safely perehed upon the supreme
bench for life and can view the
changing scenes of political fortune
and turmoil going on beneath him
with as much cOmpOsure and security
as the eagle, perehed upon his lofty
mountain cliff, regards with indiffer-
enee and contempt the surging, angry
storm asst thunders and howls in the
xslltt 1selow.

The Hobbs Libel Trial.

The indictments for libel on the
character of Jones s. Hamilton, which
were procured by him in this county
against Mr.. B. T. Hobbs of the Brook
HAVEN LEADER, will be tried at the
Madison county Circuit Court on the
3rd Monday in November. This will
not only involve a re-determination
of the question as to whether Hamil-
ton was guilty of Gambrel's murder,
but also, whether deeds ofthat kind can
he committed with IMMUNITY, and the
press that would dare speak out and
proclaim to the world the truth, as
they saw it, should ut the beck of the
alleged criminal be muzzled, and its
editor stripped ofhis liberty and mon
ey by law that would mock the very
name of justice.
When Hamilton was being tried by
the duly constituted courts of the
land, and sought to escape from their
coils by every device of strategy and
technicality, his sympathizers raised
long and loud the cry of persecution.
A final trial resulted in his liberation,
but not content that the matter
should remain, res adjudicata, and he
continue secure in the enjoyment of a
freedom which, to say the least, came
under cloud, lie must in turn play
the role of prosecutor.
To this end he secured the indict-
ment of Hobbs for e-iterating his
guilt, after legal acquittal; when, If
he had felt himself clothed in the ma
.jestic and impenetrablea rmor of limo
cence, he must have known that such
re-iterations would, like spent arrows,
have fallen harmless at his feet.
Should this second tribunal adjudge
Hobbs guiltless of libel, it must of ne
cessity declare Hamilton guilty of
murder.
And under all the circumstances,
such a verdict would be clearly self
invited, and would place him beyond
the pale of sympathy or commisera-
ton at the hands of even his quondam
friends.-Ne,o Mississippian.

Crops to be Grown Can Still be
MOrtgaged.

On Monday, Nov. 5th, the Supreme
Court of Mississippi handed down the
following decision in the case of J. T.
McCown va. d. Meyer, which will be
of interest to our farmers and mer-
chants:
Cooper, j., delivered the opinion of
the court.
The single question presented by
this appeal is whether the owner
of the soil may make q sale
valid and enforceable at law, of a
crop to be hereafter planted on his
land.
We consider the point az settled IN
the affirmative by the case of Ever
man VS.. Robb, 50 Miss. 653. In that
case the action was begun by an at.
taclmeDt for rent sued out by the
landlord, under which certain cotton
in the possession of Everman a. Co,
was seized; the landlord claimed a
prior right to the cotton by reason of
reservation in the lease and grant
/ by the tenant, the lease having been
executed and acknowledged both by
the landlord and tenant subsequent
to the lease the tenant gave an Gag
ricultural lien" for supplies to Ever
man & Co., and delivered the cotton
to them in payment of the debt Sc
cured thereby.
Everman & Co. interpOsed a claim
ants issue instead of bringing the
statutory action of replevin, but the
cause was tried without objection
having been made on account of the
irregularities. The court while criti-
cising the form of procedure, dealt
with the case as an action of re-
plevin, and declared what were the
legal rights of the parties.
The Judge by whom the opinion
discussion, and entered somewhat into
the history of equitable liens which
courts of law could not enforce, but
the point for decision was whether an
implanted crop has potential exist
ence," making it the subject of Il val
id sale by the owner of the soil, and
the court on this point said:
"These tenants were purchasers of
the land for term of five years, to be
used for agricultural purposes. AS a
security for the price to be paid they
pleged the crop. The thing hypothe-
Gated was to spring out of the soil; it
was directly connected with the land
which the tenants owned for the term.
The crops were contingencies depend
ing on present existing property or
interest in the lessees, and therefore
the subject of sale or assignment.
Story on Sales, sec. 1856" "While a
person cannot make present sale of
the wool that may grow on sheep
which he may hereafter buy, nor of
any other thing in which his interest
is wholly prospective and doubtful,
there may be valid sale of the wine
vine is expected to produce, or the
grain a field is expected to grow, the
milk of COW for the next year, or the
future young of animals. Story on
Sales, section 1857
it is therefore settled by that case
LIST. That one may make present
sale OF mortgage of things having Il
potential existence" as the books
designate it; and
2nd. That an implanted crop has
such potential existence" as to the
owner or lessee of the soil.
The Judgment is reversed and
Judgment here on the agreed facts
for the appellant.

has been no authoritative statement
of what Mr.. Cleveland will do upon
vacating the Presidential chair, but it
is thought he will go to Europe for a
year or so. He and Mrs. Cleveland
are comfortably off in the matter of
money. Secretaries Bayard, Whitney,
Fairchild, Endicott, Villas, Dickinson
