MoNTICELLO, Miss. Feb. %, 1899.
Chancery Court meets next Mon
day.
Town was quite lively during the
past week. Two steamers, the Full
ton and the Earl, visited us and dis
charged at the landings immense
quantities of merchandise. Captain
Poitevant, of the Earl, has his boat in
excellent condition, and says he will
make three more trips this spring and
commence again early in the fall. The
successful navigation of the Pearl
would place us on an equality for
good markets with the most favored
railroad towns.
While the Legislature is - gridiron-
ing tbs State with new railroads, we
sometimes imagine we hear the
whistling" cars, for IRE can't under
stand how new railroad could miss
Monticello. If a stranger happens to
pass, all that is necessary to have us
believe he is one of EN- in a hurry
to get the choice lands on the new
line, is for him not to let any body
know his business, and to accidentally
say he is from Michigan. One notice
able discouragement, however, is our
town lots haven't advanced 100 per
cent. We hope your readers will not
think us cranky. We rdnt railroad,
therefore we believe we will have one.
Since last writing we note but little
improvement in town. Our efficient
clerk, Mr.. Cannon, has taken the
initiative in starting a genuine flower
yard, and has already had his grounds
laid off in beautiful geometrical figures
for the young plants.
DR.. Muse is about to effect the pur-
chase of Mr.. Josh Hickman's place
here, and says he will turn his atten-
ton to grasses and hay-making.
Mr.. Ohio Magee, of Columbia, and
Miss Ella Burkett, of this county,
were married last Tuesday. We CON
graduate the happy couple on their
bright prospects, but we sympathize
with some of our boys here who can
suffer the girls to be carried off by
"fellOws" from another county. Still,
the occurrences about this town lately,
warrants the assertion it will not
always he thus.

The Hamilton Case.

This noted case was called in the
Brandon court last Wednesday and
both sides declared themselves ready
for trial. A special venire was then
summoned and the case set for
Monday.
Or Monday the case was called and
the selection of jury proceeded with.
The first day 30 of the special venire
were exhausted and only four jurors
obtained. Tuesday the balance of the
venire was exhausted and two more
jurors selected The Sheriff then pro-
ceeded to draw jurors from the body
of the county, and up to yesterday
"wednesday evening one more juror
had been selected, making eight alto
gether, three of whom are white and
five cOlored. 1t is presumed the jury
will be completed to-day or tomorrow
and the great trial will then proceed.

To the Public.

In order that there may W no mis-
understanding abroad as TO who COM
posed the meeting last Friday night
which adopted the resolutions
eulpgizing the Governor, Col. Deason
and the city administration, we will
here give plain, unvarnished state
ment of the facts. The meeting was
composed of about IS persons, more
than half of whom were colorcd Re-
publicans, and the rest white men,
consisting of Republicans, cx-saloon
keepers and few Democrats and
representative citizens and taxpayers,
who attended either out of curiosity
to see what would be done, or he.
cause they were personal friends or
relatives of members of the present
city government. The meeting was
worked up by Capt. Hoskins and
Judge Cassidy, and they were the
spokesman of the occasion. One of
these ia an ex-Penitentiary Lessee,
who together with his partner, Hamil-
ton, is a defaultcr to the State for
$4,000 in blood money, besides
$20,0O0 more the State was elm
proved" out of, and who has never
profcsscd to he anything but II Re-
publican. The other is a man who
figured conspicuously as renegade
Republican in Ames' day, and while
in the Legislature voted for the
negro Bruce in preference to
Lamar, for United States Senator,
and who since, while claiming to he a
Democrat, and having been honoled
by places in that party's councils, has
never lost his hold on the old Rcpubli-
can contingent, and more than once
has led them into Democratic meet
ings to override the will of men who
have always been true to Democracy
and carry his points. The resolutions
were cut and dried for the occasion.
They were voted for with Il whoop by
the negroes and the members of the
whisky ring present, and were not in
tended to he in accord or sympathy
with the objects of the citizens meet
ing called to inauguratc municipal re-
form. The negro mob that did most
of the voting would have adopted
resolutions to have President Cleve-
! land beheadcd in - hours or for any
thing else that Cassidy and Hoskins
said, so hlindly did they follow their
masters.
On the whole, the affair was one OF
the most diScreditablC public meet
ings that ever took place in Brook
haven. and filed with disgust many
good citizens who were otherwise
friendly to the present city admins
tration.

The Governor and the Alliance
Committee.

At their called meeting here the
Farmers Alliance adopted the follow
ing among other resolutions:
Resolrcd, That committee of five be
appointed by the President to express to
the committee of the Legislature on Con-
stitution the views of this body touching
the question of Constitutional COnven-
lion and that said committee also wait
ON the Governor and solicit his co-opera-
ton with the Legislature in the passage
of hill to submit the question of n Con-
stitutional Convention to the qualified
electors OF the State.
The committee, consisting of j. 5.
Jones, McRea MOsby, j. A. Nicholson,
G. +. Scott and $. ii. Hall, endeavOr-
ed to carry out their instructions on
Thursday. They first called upon the
Governor and presented him with the
resolutions adopted by the Alliance,
urging the importance of COnstitu-
tional Convention.
The Governor asked the necessity
for the CONVENTION. The chairman,
MIR. Jones, sad that the principal
reason for Convention, as assigned
by the people, was to secure an cleo
tive judiciary. Mr.. Hall agreed with
Mr.. Jones that the people objected to
an appointive judiciary, because it
lodged too much power in one in
dividual, and tended toward CEN
tralizatiOn that the county Alliances,
where the question had been discussed,
had expressed thcmselve in favor of
the Convention.
The Governor desired to know ifthe
County Alliances were engaged in
shaping politics in their secret meet
ings Mr.. Hall replied that they were
not, but that they were interested i'll
public affairs, and that their action in
all matters were published.
Opinions were freely exchanged, the
committee arguing for Convention
and the Governor holding that there
was no necessity for it when all the
evils complained of could be corrected
by amendments. He suggested that
the matter might be referred to the
next Democratic State convention,
when it could be actedupon as IA party
measure; that he thought State Con
vention, composed of representative
men fresh from Democratic con
SlitltHtN Nolil'l w d piopNi ''"N W
pass upon it, and that he believed
everybod y-especially all Democrats,
would cheerfully bow to its decision
MeSsrs. Jones and Hall opposed the
reference of the question to a State
Convention.
When the Governor said, % sup
pose this committee is composed OF
Democrats ?" Mr. Nicholson said
Speaking only for myself, | am Il
Democrat" Mr.. Mostly replied, "
am and have always been IA Democrat
McssrS. Jones, Hall and Scott did not
admit that they were Democrats. The
Governor was surprised that only tive
members had been outspokcn in de-
claring themselves Democrats, and
concluded the interview 10y saying:
" Gentlemen, this is Il Democratic
administration, and if you are not
Democrats, each and every one of YOU,
YOU of course are not with the dOmi-
nant party on this or any othcl
question.
Three members of the committee
Messrs. Jones, Hall and Scott, who
are reported to be Republicans or In
dependents, had nothing more to say
after the question of Democracy was
sprung. Clarion Ledger.

Ne are no apologist for Republi-

and we must say the attempt of the
Governor to rear back on his DemOc-
racy and say i" this is Democratic
Administration" when waited upon
by the State Alliance Committee. came
with very bad grace indeed from one
who lent the influence of his admins
tration to defeat the Democratic NOM
inees in Chickasaw county last fall, and
whose most ardent supporters and
biologists are old Republicans like
Lowd Charley Wright, Gibbs, Jim Hill,
IIoskins, Cassidy and the colored
Republican contingent of BroOkhaven.
In view ofthese things such an explana-
zion was necessary.
