Our Warren Cases.

The Editor of the LEADER went
over to Nicksburg last Thursday to
plead to the indictments against him
in that county for libel. A 5000 bond
was given in each case with j. G..
eastman, T. 7. Pegram, DR.. J. 5.
Austin and Il. c. Stevenson as sure
ties, and continuance obtained until
the October term of Court, though
this was much against the wishes of
Hamilton, who was on hand with his
body guard, DR.. Buck, and anxious to
force a trial at this term. Tomorrow
a formal application Will be made for
a change of venue, and when that
question is settled, we will know def !
nitely when and where the trial will
take place and make the necessary
preparation to have it as ''interesting"
to the Colonel as possible.
We met goodly number of warm
friends while in the Hill City, but we
feel especially indebted to our attor-
neys, Messrs. McCabe & Anderson,
and John G.. eastman, the manly ed
itor of the Evening Post, for courte-
sizes extended also to Sheriff McNair,
of this county, who was our escort
when going.

The Hobbs Indictments.

Very few Mississippians are prepared
to applaud or endorse the action of
the Kinds county grand jury in
returning an indictment against Mr..
B. Il. Hobbs, editor of the BROoKHA-
VEN LEADER, for libel for certain
publications bearing on the Gambrell-
Hamilton affair. No fairly impaneled
jury will sustain the Indictment. The
most that can come of the trial will
be to parade pre- eminently grinning
skeleton that should be kept well in
the back ground in very darkened
closet. The people want the celebra-
ted case with all it's sad surroundings
and unfortunate connections laid to
rest, and Col. HamiltOn's indiscreet
friends make a serious mistake in
dragging it into the courts again.
Whatever the thoughts of the people
concerning the utterances of the
LEADER no right thinking man would
have had the matter assume the shape
the blunder of the grand jury places
it in.-Bolirar County Democrat.

Was Never an Angel.

Rod. Lowry, who committed the
murderous assault on his innocent
wife in Jackson last week, lacked
much of being an angel without wings
before that brutal act. He had pre-
viously been indicted in Rankin cOun-
ty on four separate counts, so-wit ::
~ Resisting an officer; (2) assault
and battery; (9) malicious mischief;
az carrying concealed weapons. Be
sides these little peccadilloes, he had
lost an arm in row with somebody.
killed negro in Sunnower county
about year ago, and a few months
since shot at conductor on the |. C..
Railroad because he refused to allow
him to ride on free family pass is
sued to his uncle, the Governor.
II is also worthy of note in this
connection that forfeiture ON his
bond was taken in one of the cases
against him in the Rankin court, and
he was convicted in his absence ON the
charge Of assault and battery and
sentenced to 80 days in the county
Jail. but before he could he arrested
aud the sentence of the court exc
cuted, his great and good Uncle Rob
ert, the Governor, who runs the par
don mill So dextcrously, rushed to his
relief with a pardon and he escaped
even this slight punishment.
And isn't it singular, not to say lu-
dcrou~, in the face of such non
angelic record as this to see some of
the Lowry newspaper correspond
ents (who never heard (D of young
LOwry's assault upon his wife until
after il was published in the New
MissisSippian), attempting to con
done that outrageous affair by attri-
buting it to insanityS lnsanity-bah

Mrs. r. d. Lowry, the victim of the
Jackson outrage, was Miss Mamie
Hemingway, of Alfalfa county. She
is not a relative of State Treasurer
Hemingway, as at first reported, but
bore the same name and was an init
mate friend of the family. She was a
beautiful and highly cultured lady
and the daughter of widowed moth
er who is in moderate circumstances.
Lowry's dissolute habits were we'll
known to the family and she married
him against the solemn protests of her
mother and away from home with
out her mothers knowledge. They
had only been married about four
months.

The West Tennessee Classical and
Military Academy and Somerville Fe-
male Institute, located at SOmerville,
Tenn, two separate and distinct
schools under the direction of that
able and experienced educator, Col.
N. A. Flournoy, are specially worthy
the consideration of parents with
boys and girls to educate. The citi-
zens of Somerville have just fitted up
the old male Academy in first class
style for the establishment of this
military school, and West Point
graduate will have charge of the ca
diets. Read advertisement in to-day's
paper and write to the principal for
full particulars.

The cOlOred oman and brother
received rather cold comfort from the
Republicans at their late national
convention in Chicago. The effort of
the ablest cOlOred mani in the country,
John r. Lynch, of this State, to get q
resolution advocating additional leg
islation for the annoyance of the
Southern whites, was signal failure.
In addition to that a Republican Sen
ator informed the whole cOiOred race,
that the time had past to attempt to
put the whites of the South under the
control of negroes. When Lynch was
speaking, time was called on him, and
there are many unmistakable eviden-
ces that the cOlored brother will have
to do just as Horace Greeley predicted
twenty years ago, "rOot hog or die"
Bruce, a colored ex-senator, received
only pitiful eleven votes for Vice
President, when if the Republicans
were really consistent and honest in
their pretensions, he should have
made close fight for the nomination.

An Attempt to Gag the Press.

Judge Mayors took occasion in his
charge to the grand jury last week to
call special attention to the law
against libel and to recommend the
indictment of any publisher found to
have disregarded it. In view of the
recent utterance of Capt. w. II. Hardy.
Penitcntiary Lessee and President of
the Gulf & Ship Island Railroad, on
personal journalism" and the pro-
Ccediugs ofJonesS. Hamilton, another
Lessee, againtS the editor of the
BRooKHAvEN LEADER, for libel, this
special care of Judge Mayors to bring
the subject to the attention of a Law.
renee county grand jury is decidedly
transparent, and smacks strongly of Il
preconcerted plan on the part of the
Penitentiary bosses, the State admin
free press as far as lies within their
power. This is all the more appar-
Chl bCNduSS OHC pClHOihii .JOui hdllSHi
which has excited the ire of the lordly
lessees and the powers that be, has
been in no just sense an attack upon
the private characters of any of the
parties affected, but has simply dealt
with them in their relations to the
public. Only the truth has been told
and il is that, and not lie, that hurts.
1t will be a woeful day for the lib
critics of the people when the press is
shackled in the manner so earnestly
desired by these worthless, and the
proposition will meet with little favor
among the honest yeomanry here or
elsewhere.
Meanwhile, VIC would suggest that
the best way for the Penitentiary
Lessees, Lowry and his dependents to
stop the kind of personal journal
ism" so much objected to, is to attend
to their public duties as they should
and quit their crookedness. 1t will
cease then and not until then.-La,c-

Lowry CAPTURED,

Just as the LEADER goes to press
we learn that Rod. Lowry was cap
tured in New Orleans Tuesday even
ing on Royal street near Canal. He
refused to talk further than to say to
the reporters that his Offense was a
family affair which concerned only
himself and wife and that he was re-
sponsible for every thing he had done.
Mrs. Lowry is now out of danger
and will sue for a divorce.

Our friend Mr.. Wylie in note en-
closing the above resolution, adds the
following: ~ will say in behalf OF
the Alliance, that in adopting the
Press, we did so not on accounto of any
dissatisfaction with the LEADER. but
simply because the Press is our home
paper" This was an all sufficient
reason, and the LEADER hopes the
Lawrence Alliance and their new or
gan will become fast friends and labor
continually for each others mutual
advantage.

Resolced. That the announced in
tention of the Republican party to re-
move from tobacco and intoxicating
beverages the internal revenue taxes
without abolishing the saloons, and
for the purpose of maintaining high
protective tariff upon articles of neces-
sity in ordinary use, will result in
cheap whisky and tobacco and high
priced clothing and is opposed to the
best interests of the people.
The above is from platform adopted
by the Prohibitionists ofMichigan and
shows that they at least among their
party have well weighed and under
stand the full import of the Republic
can platform which pledges that party
to the wreck of the souls as well as
bodies of the struggling working
classes.

In the death IF Capt. Put Darden
che farmers of Mississippi lose man
devoted to their interests. He was
ever on the alert to strike blow fOr
them wherever and whenever one
could he struck. An ardent advocate
of everything that tended to elevate
the agricultural condition of his State,
it will be no easy matter to find man
who will fill the place made vacant by
his death.

The conspiracy of silence" on the
part of the jackson correspondents of
the New Orleans and other dailies in
regard to the Rod. Lowry outrage, to
which such pointed reference is made
by the New Mississippian, furnishes
the public a striking example of how
these correspondents are manipulated
in the interest of Lowry and his adj
ministratiOn. 1t goes to confirm what
many have long had reason to sus-
pect, that the best features of Lowry
ism are always promptly given to the
public by these correspondents with a
great flourish of trumpets, as it were,
while the bad is smothered up or at
best, condoned. The daily papers
represented by these correspondents
are depended upon by large portion
of our people for their information
about public affairs, and they should
demand departure from this sort of
service, or the public will soon learn
to rate it at it's true value.

The wicked Canton Picket gets off
the following:
We wonder if the usually vigilant
correspOndentSat jackson, Miss, of
the New Orleans and Memphis pa
pers were deferred from reporting the
brutal conduct of Roddy Lowry be-
cause they were opposed to personal
journalism, or were afraid of being
sued for SANDER. Maybe those enter
prising correspondents were only
waiting for Roddy's return to jackson
in order that they might, in glowing
words, tell how he was met at the
railroad depot with brass band and
how he was drawn through the city by
the populace in a little red wagon, and
how his triumphal march was herald
ed with flags and banners and his
pathway strewn with flowers. GUsH!
