The Calhoun County Alliance
declares against the immigration
of foreigners in very emphatic
terms, as will be observed from the
following preamble and rssolu-
tions
Whereas, The Governor Of Miss
issippi has called a meeting of the
people TO assemble in Jackson on
the Gath day of May in the interest
Of immigration; and,
Whereas, We believe the influx
of foreign immigrants is an injury
to our common country; and
Whereas, We believe that our
fair and beautiful Southland should
be left by us as an Inheritance for
our posterity; therefore be it
Resolved, That we do not in
dorse any party or parties, politi-
cal or otherwise, that favor foreign
or alien immigration, rs we look
upon it as being fangerousto to Amer
lean independence and American
liberty.
Resolved, That we recommend
that every Alliance in the State
take action in this matter, and in
dorse the above or similar resolu-
tions.

Some Of the newspaper press Of
the State intimate that Mr.. Paul
wofford's latest sensation should be
taken cum graao sails. They pro
fess to think that fat pine and coal
oil story needs a little verifcation.
And then they are not sure, who
prepared the fagots. The impress
sion in this vicinity is that the le-
gal gentleman of game-ehicken,
washerwoman notoriety knows
more, or less concerning the pre-
tended attempt TO burn Hamilton's
house, than he has told.

The President has sent TO the
Senate the name of Melville w.
Fuller, Of Chicago ILL.,, to be Chief
Justice ofthe Supreme Court. He
is said to be a fine lawyer, a good
democrat and about 45 years Of
age. So all the speculation about
Minister Phelps, Senator Gray,
Justice Fields, and all the rest goes
for naught. But the appointment
is Just like Mr.. Cleveland, and
will, it is hoped, prove eminently
satisfactory.

eheckmate "the bounty bummers'
who are Just now very active 10
trying TO induce the people along
the proposed line ofthe N. o. & c.
to subscribe money, bonds and
land to aid the construction Of said
road. With a line already built
connecting the principal towns
along the route, capitalists will
likely be slow to invest their mon
ey in a parallel line, especially
when they must compete with 80
gigantic corporation as the
Kansas city. We do not say this
in exultation, for we really wish
somebody, who has the means TO
do what they promise, would take
hold Of the NJ. o. & C. and build it,
but we desire simply to discharge
our duty to our readers along the
line, by keeping them informed of
the real state Of facts, that they
may not be deceived into unprofit-
able speculations, based upon the
idea, that the crowd who are en-
gineering this enterprise are sure
TO succeed. There is no probabil-
ity Of anybody building the road
on the proposed line, unless, in
deed, Jay Gould purposes extend
ing his system Of railroads to the
Southeast, and he does not want

for it would be, by fifty miles, a
longer route than that now owned
and operated by his rival. Should
he want a direct line from Mem

judgment, property on hand they

the hands Of the present owners

advise our friends in Clay not to
