The facts ofthe Hobbs. Hamilto
affair as related BY Mr.. Sherman.
of Tho firm Of Sherman q Davis
bankers Of Brookhaven, by Mr.
Brown, of Browns hotel Of Halle.
hurst, aud corroborated by the
railroad conductor aud others, are
these:
Hobbs was passing mp the car
aisle and went on by Hamilton
without noticing him. Hamilton,
who was accompanied by his broth
in.in-law, Bob Buck, got up and
followed Hobbs and hit hun back
of The head, stunning him. When
Hobbs recovered he found himself
covered by Bob Bucks pistol.
Buck said, "Col. Hamilton Is UNI
armed but | am here to protect
him." Hobbs replied, II am un-
armed but You can murder me If
you like" The conductor then lead
Hamilton and Buck to the sleeper.
Hobbs pistol at the time OF the
difficulty was in his valise.
Mr.. Hobbs was taken of The
train by his trends and did not
up 10 jackson as has been
stated. Col. Hamilton and the pis-
tol-bearing Buck were not arrested
but proceeded up to Jackson.

A DANGEROUS RULE.

We expressed our non partisan,
conservative, concirntlous opinion
in regard to the Martin.Adams kill
ing in last weeks issue. Still we
arc opposed both to pistol practice
and extreme liberty of the press.
We find, however, the same papers
that defended Hamilton justitying
the rash course of General Adams.
In reply we will just suppose a case.
Suppose the father or brother of
John Martin should set out to de
fend the fair name of a dead son or
brother and kill some OF those edit
ors. Following up the rule where
would blood cease to fowl Fol.
lowing the rule still further, the
public journal must be completely
mum lest the unrighteOus be offend
ed and death follow. Have the
Hamiltons wounded honors Have
the Gambrells wounded honor!
This sophistry in regard to wound
ed honor is in the interest of muir
der, crime and the devil. Where
true honor is wounded true charaG-
ter is left untarnished. Death is a
robber Of all, and when suddenly
produced by the murderous bullet
often damns a soul that might have
Which the greater crime?
The Birmingham Herald truthfully
This is not the day of swash- buck
cavaliers, but the latter part of
the nineteenth century. Chivalry,
as it is now understood, has 40 al
with murder, and wounded
honor is not to be redeemed by the
preparation of a crime. Bravery
and self-rrspect are to be admired
and encouraged, bit the proper
maintenance Of either a ever re.
quire the taking of human life.

With the expelIant forces, polltica.
and social, in foreign countries
cheap transportation and the en-
ticing conditions of this great, rich.
libertv-loving country, the flow oil
foreign immigration to the United
States continually increases, and
has as yet hardly begun. The van
guard has been moving westward
and popuiating that vast territory,
where there is yet plenty of room
and cheap land. But spectators
occasionally turn a few Southwark,
and ale casting about TO find places
for more. These SPECTATORS al
ready own large quantities OF land
IN this State and expect to get I'M
migrants to take them up. Now it
is a question with us whether We
shall rest upon u own oars to
"let well enough alode" until these
lands, and this beautiful country
of ours, the heritage of onr children,
shall be settled up by foreign scum,
escaped convicts, nihillsts and Hit
crate peasantry, or the intelligent,
thrifty and energetic citizens of
our common country from the
more densely settled portions Of
the North and West.
Let our people, who have an eye
to the future and the welfare of
the Using generation al heart, con-
slider tins matter. Those who adj
vocate saving our own land for our
own children see into the future,
but "through a glass darkly." We
can't, if we wished, play the dog in
the mauger. The OK has become
too hungry and speculation Geas
poster us too greatly. Let us then
do the next best thing and choose
the company, the neighbors and
co-workers Of our children. We be-
lieve 1t to be the duty OF the citi-

lions Of the South. 10 rise up as one
man, extend a cordial invitation to
the pick Of our Northern farmers,
laborers, and capitalists to come
and inhablt our vacant places. Ii
just so happens that we are so sit
uated rs to be prepared TO do it.
We can get them if we will try in
the right way. They wall come to
our fertile lands and excellent eli
mate. They will come in full SYM
with our political institu-
tons, our social and religious lib
born and reared under the
and stripes, and readily adapt
themselves to their new Surround
and aid instead of retardlng
our progress in civilization and
wealth. We must get them to come
or others will come.

Duringthc quarter of a century
in which the republicans were in
power, when a department at
Washington wanted a luxury that
was not allowed by the govern
ment, it bought what it wanted
and called the article "6oap,," or
candles" or something Of that
sort. In this way the treasury de-
paEment got a collection of oil
paintings of its secretaries. These
pictures, with the exception OF
Secretary Folger's, cost about $500
apiece. F0lger's cost $500. How
contrast republican methods with
those adopted since The democrats
assumed control. The former as.
sociates Of eX-Secretary Manning
wanted to place a good portrait of
