Col. HAMILTON seems we'll and in good spirits, though the tedious trial and strain upon him must be great. Friends are focking to him every day, :, and from everywhere come letters of sympathy, cheer and comfort. Most of the residents of Brandon are friends of this persecuted gentleman, and most all the Christian ministers are in sym pathy with him. Of course there are some Gambrellites, but they are all known and can be counted on the fingers of one hand. Brandon COrre- spondent of the Jackson Advertiser.
 Read this carefully and by the lurid light of Hamilton's own confession-'I shot the damned fool and belted hell out of him." If there is Christian, or any other minister, who sympathizes with the cold bloOded murderer who uttered these words he should be un- frocked at once, or be locked up in the insane asylum for which the lately ad- journed legislature left an appropria- tion that puts the patients on starva- tion rations. Such minister must be a hypocrite and knave, or else fool.- Appeal

ACCORDING to the Galveston News, Congressman Grain, of that district :, has not got as long pair of legs as his namesake of the air; and there are a large number of the readers of the News who are of the same opinion. As the head of that little rancho in Southwest Texas he would perhaps have been of more service than he is in congress. But he thought different and sold it out and went to Washing ton to write letters to the News. And of such is the kingdom of the states man.

INGALLS, says that it is doubtful which side was the victor in the late war between the North and South. We will state, for the benefit of all concerned, that Ingalls,, having per formed no part in the conflict, is per haps, in a measure, justifiable in his doubts. It also seems to us that, like the boy who watched the gap and got run over by the calf, he ought not to have a word to say. This leads to the paraphrase:
 John Ingalls,, my Joe John,
 When We were first acquaint
 You were militia corporal,
 John Ingalls,, may Joe John.

WE wonder if Gov. Lowry, of Missis- sippi. will have to dance to the music of fine for riding on free passes. We don't know exactly what kind of man the governor is, but we know he has his full share of enemies. The conviction of the governor, however, on this charge is something that we do not at all anticipate. In these days of degeneracy the two words ''charges" and conviction" are by no means synonymous. Better let his passes go and get . move on his penitentiary lease system. We pause right here to remark that our own State has prob ably nothing to brag about in her con- duct of the convict system.

Died.

Died, near Stanton, Tenn, Thurs day, March P. 1888, Mss IDA GIL LIAM, aged 17 years.
 Before the sunlight had fairly kissed the rosebud of life into maturity the shadows fell darkly, and the night came on. Not the all night of gloom, nor the shadows that shut out Hope, but the mourning veil that so often intervenes between the loved ones and the heaven for which they must wait. It is what we call Death-and yet we know that it is but the gateway through which we pass to newer, nobler and sweeter life. The tears of loved ones follow her to the couch of this long and silent sleep; the white wreaths that loving hands have twined about her may wither and die, as she has died but in the morning that soon will dawn all these tears win be kissed away in smiles, and the flowers will lift their white cheeks to be touched and tinged with the glow of fadeless immortality.

Ws don't know when . tougher thing was ever said of a man than when the editor of one of our local contemporaries denounced the editor of the New York Herald as "cheap juggler in circus ring trying to carry water on both shoulders in a storm" This is absolutely terrible. Such a wild and untamed mingling together of cyclones, water pails and circus jugglers in one mad metaphor produces an effect uyon the mind that is awfully startling. It is at once beautiful, numerous, mysterious and terrific. The imagination shrinks back appalled, when it tries to contemplate the pie ture of a ring-streaked clown with water bucket on each shoulder contend ing with a wild hurricane in q circus ring, amid the deafenipg applause of the spectators. Of course, after being the Herald will never kick again Exchange,

THE beef bill before the Ohio legisla- ture is proof sufficient that jokes are not confined to the vulgar or common place citizen, unless most of that body is composed of that kind of material. If Andy Johnson were still alive, and should appear before that legislature and ask how many of its members had read the constitution, what a stir be would make! Andy always asked this question Of those who were wont to interrupt his speeches, and he gener- ally squelched his enemies on the spot. But Andy is dead, and the Ohio legisla- ture can try it's hand on the beef bill.

IT goes without saying that Kansas, the great would-be prohibition State. has sent the most totally unprincipled man that ever sat in the United States senate. We are not whisky drinking man, but between whisky and Ingalls, we would take whisky straight the balance of our natural life, and feel that we had done our country a nOtle service. Aside from his recent attack upon Hancock and Mcclellan, he is man of no consequence, but he evil dently thinks that cheap nOtoriety is better than no notoriety at all.

During the course of a conversation with a prominent citizen of Crittenden county, Ark, an Avalanche reporter gleaned some interesting information in reference to the race for congress in the district represented by MT. Dunn. It seems that Mir. Dunn will not be candidate. There are in all six pro- sp~ctive candidates. not including Clark, of Helena, who will not run. The others are W. B. Burlington. of Mississippi county; W. H. Cate. of Craighead; Charles Coffin, of Law renee; M. Craig, of Chicot; Patrick Henry, of Desha, and Featherston, of St. Francis. The latter is wheeler, and would be strongly backed by those members of the order who favor its taking an active part in politica. But there is also considerable element among the wheelers who are opposed to this policy as subversive of the inter- ests of the order. If MT. Featherston uns as a wheeler he will break with the democratic party. If he goes be- fore the democratic party it is difficult to see how he can remain a wheeler. As a democratic nominee he must ac- cept the doctrines of the party and re- pudiate all others. This would sever his connection with the wheelers, and the queer spectacle would be presented of his ceasing to be a wheeler the mo- ment he came forward as a wheeler candidate
 Such a state of affairs does seem to encircle Mir. Featherston, but if he de- cides to become candidate we pre- sume he will be able to explain away this conflict of party affiliation.

KENTUCKY wants to abolish the county of Rowan and portion 1t out to the old counties from which it was originally formed. but these counties don't want it. Perhaps the State could sell it to a colony of the Oklaho- ma fellows, or to Adam Badeau, or Ingalls,. No trouble to find purchas- CTS who would be willing to fence it in and raise up colony of anarchists and bloody linen wavsrs. Put Rowan up at auction and she'll go of like a flash at a good round price.

'lT depends altogether on whose son the culprit is," said bystander re- gently. Well, if that is the case TIE TIMES has nothing more to say, ex- cept that, in tempering justice with mercy, it might at least appear in a different light if more sound judgment was displayed in passing upon the ma jority of cases.

SENATOR GEORGE rightfully re- ferred to Senator Blair's confederate bill as a ''peace offering" and we agree with Riddleberger that it is cor rect in principle. The Southern sena. tors oppose it on the ground that it was neither asked nor sought for, and truthfully say we are able and do care for our maimed soldiers. The North ern senators become blown in this opportunity to fight the battle over and denounce the people of the South, and object to placing the confederates on the same footing with the union soldiers. Both sides are partly right, but there seems to be misunderstand- ing as to tho true intent and meaning of Mir. Blair's bill. Under the civil service so long as appointments have to be made from among the disloyal the preference should be given to the maimed confederate soldiers, is the in- tent of the bill. He simply asks that a should be made in favor of those who suffered most, and were not less disloyal than those who aided in bringing about the war and su fferad nothing,

SENATOR INGALLS, friends say that he is not at all disturbed on account of his rejection by the Loyal Legion. If the Senator's friends had kept their mouths shut there would perhaps have been some credence placed in this lie; but it is too late now. The man of militia reputation feels sore, and he cannot deny 1t.

THE chances for the Blair educa- tional bill and the tariff bill to go over to another session is very plain. The republicans will throw every obstacle in the way to put it of until near the end of the session, and then in the hurry with appropriation bills, etc., it will be too late to give them the atten- tion they require.

THE attitude of Blaine and Conk- ling toward each other is somewhat similar to that of Gov. McNutt and s. s. Prentiss. both prominent citizens of Mississippi, in 1s42. McNutt was for repudiation, and Prentiss was opposed to it. Prentiss said in the canvass that McNutt was worse than suck egg dog, because the dog, after sucking the eggs, would go away satisfied and do no more harm, while McNutt, after sucking the eggs, remained and scratched up the nest. Our readers will observe the striking similarity.

A WASHINGTON special says that "the house committee on Revision of Laws are ready to report a joint reso- lution providing for the choosing of senators by popular vote, instead Of by State legislatures. Amongst the little good the monkey show" has done this session we believe none will be more appreciated than the passage of this resolution. We believe 1t is a change sincerely hoped for by the peo- pls. By the old method of electing many senators go to congress with the odium of having been selected by dis reputable methods resting on their shoulders. Give the people a chance to say who shall represent them, and both houses of congress will reflect credit on the country.
