The Clarksdale Banner, speaking
on the line of our leading article of
last week, says: "The administration
of justice is becoming farcical in the
eyes Of law abiding people, and if the
State of Mississippi, under the present
administration, is unable or unwilling
to protect it's citizens, the sooner they
are dethrOLed the better it will be for
the State. We have no faith in many
Of the State officials doing anything
that will tend to put a stop to this
lawlesSness which has already brought
discredit on our laws"

not see 4 wrong and basc'v hold his
peace.
If it he fault, ever to speak bold
" for the right and dare to tell the
clear, clean truth, then John Martin
had his faults. but these very faults
betoken the superb nobility of his i'm
perial soul. We have often heard
him quote these noble words: Let
him who will spread and shift the
silkcn sails of cowardicG to catch cv-
cry vecring breeze of popular applause
but as for me and my house we will
serve the right" and to Us it seems he
embodied in daily life these sentiments
/, to their utmost letter.
In his death the mothers and wives
of this country lose q champion who
ever strove to stay the red tide of in
temperance from devastating their
homes. In his death the people lose a
q champion who fought best and ticrc-
est for reform
In his death the young men of this
country lose champion who taught
them how noble thing man could
be.
And Vet though he died in the
blushing bloom of his youth, we be-
Iicve that God knoweth best. We see
Socrates quafiing the poison, Savanna
rola on the rack and Cranmer amid
the crimson cercmcnts Of flame, and
vet We behold their souls marching on
to victory.
Fright forever on the scatiold,
Wrong forever on the throne;
Vet that scaflold sways the future,
And behind the dim unknown
Standeth God within the shadows,
Keeping watch above his own"
We know not what garlands of glory
may be woven around his brow. We
know not what bowers of beauty may
blow for his bliss, but the Master
never welcomed Drawer, brighter,
better soul home to the sunlit Para
disc land than that of John II. Mar
tin.

1t is sad commentary on the com
potency, honesty and fidelity Of a
Governor when the solid, honest
farmers of his own county rise up al

the seat which they consider he has
disgraced; and yet that is what the
Farmers Alliance of Rankin county
has asked Robert Lowry to do.

called mp to-day and passed in the senate
bill Of considerable importance 10 tho
people Of Nebraska, which was intro.
dnced in March Of the present year aud

age Of the bill, were paid par cent on
Indian lands and permanent reservations
therein, but on the 30th OF June, 1855.
the department Of the interior suspended
all payments 10 the states named, on tho
ground that the act OF 1857 was not per.
feet in its character aud could not DO
made 10 apply 10 states which we're ad.
mitted after It's passage. This decision.
which WAS promulgated by Secretary
Lamar, was based on an opinion Of the

position TO the decision Of former com.
missiOncra Of the general land Office and
FIRST comptrollers Of the treasury. Gov

INDIAN DEpREDATIOY CLAIMS.

Washington special: To-day, in the
senate, Mr. Paddock presented an
amendment to the house bill now be-
fore the committee ON Indian depreda-
ton claims, which will obviate and cor
rect the absurd amendments tackled
onto that measure when it was consid-
cred before the lower body. The
amendment, as proposed, is essentially
the same measure introduced some
months ago by Senator Paddock, and
which provides for court for the adiu-
dication aud payment Of claims arising
from Indian depredations. As amended
in the house all claims which had been
heard before the interior department
were barred, as we're all claims which
had not been presented within three
years from the time of the alleged loss.
These amendments practically DESTROYED
the utility Of the bill and an effort will
be made by the senate to correct ~
fault.
