A Splendid APPOINTMENT.

1t is with peculiar pleasure that we
make the announcement that our
talented friend and neighbor, A. II.
LOnginO, Esq, OfMonticello, has been
appointed by the President District
Attorney for the Southern District
of Mississippi, to succeed Hon. J. B.
Harris, lately resigned. Mr.. LOnginO
is splendidly equipped by nature and
education for the position, and the
President could not have made bet
ter selection. Clear headed, methodi-
cal, energetic and conservative, though
every inch Democrat, he will fill the
position with honor to himself and the
government, and his friends here and
elsewhere throughout this District
rejoice in this deserved recognition
of his merits. We regret to see an
efficient officer and a true and tried
Democrat like j. B. Harris give up a
position for which he was so well
qualified, out of Difference to the
partisan hOwlings of some of the
Northern press, but if this had to be,
there was no one we would sooner
have seen succeed him than 4. H..
LOngino.

Worthless Mail Service.

This Office has received no less than
half dozen complaints during the
last week from subscribers who fail to
get their paper punctually and regu-
larry. One of these comes from Oak
land, La, one from Atlanta Ca, and
two from Brandon, Miss, representing
three different States, the last office
being kept by that great and mighty
man of gas, Col. A. J. Frantzy. We
do not know exactly where the trouble
lies, but of one thing we are certain,
the LEADER is mailed regularly to all
its subscribers every week and should
be received by item accordingly.
And we are equally certain of another
thing. and that is, that if these COM
plants continue, we will soon have the
ways of some of Uncle Sans post
masters and route agents looked into.
1t is but justice to say, however, that
it is sometimes not strictly the fault of
pOstmasters or any body connected
with the mail service that causes sub
scribers to miss their papers. There
are always a lot of persons in every
community too mean ar penurious to
take and pay for paper themselves,
and these despicable characters after
calling for the mail of their ncighbors,
read their papers and never deliver
them to their rightful owners, thus
doing grave injustice to publisher
and subscribers. We advise all of our
patrOus to keep an eye out for such
characters, and if they then fail to get
their papers TO promptly report the
fact to us. and we will seek the cause
elsewhere.

A committee of the New York
Legislature recommends the execution
of criminals by an electric shock as an
improvement on the American fashion
of hanging. At the present day the
usual method for the official execution
of convicts is by the gallows, the
guillotine and the gun. Spain de-
strOys life with an iron collar around
the neck with a sharp spike, which is
suddenly driven into a joint of the
spine at the back of the neck. This is
technically called a garrOte. In
Prussia aud in fifteen cantOns of
Switzerland the victim is beheaded
with an immense two-handed sword.
In China the criminal is strangled
with ii cord. In the Duchy of Bruins
wick, Germany, the AK is used for be-
heading.
