\ Change OF Tactics.

Col. Jones :. Hamilton appears de
tcImHcd to Keep himself before the
public in one way or another. His
latest move in this direction was to
have the editor of this paper indicted
last week by the Kinds county rand
jury III four separate cases for alleged
libel. The four indictments are based
ON editorials which have appeared in
the LEADER of different dates, allcg-
ing in substance that the Colonel is an
assassin or murderer who has "~rajr,t
Justice, and by which, it is claimed he
has been greatly injured in character
and reputation. As IA matter of fact,
one of the articles i'll question reflects
far more severely upon Lowry than
upon hamilton, and the exception
taken i'll this particular case goes to
confirm the close alliance and tender
kinship existing between the Peni-
Tertiary Boss and His EXcelcncy.
Whether the Colonel hopes by this
new proceeding to obtain another
much needed whitewaSlinG at the
hands of jury, or simply as ii little
game of bluff to prevent free press
from exposing the true inwardncsS OF
some future scheme like the Pcnj-
Tertiary jobhcry by which the State
was swindlcd out of Il round 800, 900,
doesn't yet fully appear. but il either
event the effort will prove equally
frultlc,r
Meantime the lovctr Of law ard
order are to he congratulated that the
Colonel and his hcncllmen have re-
solved upon IL change of tactics and an
appeIi TO The peaceful methods of til,
law, rather than to the aIbitramcnt OF

The Memphis .iuldRche of the 25th
inst reads some of the sore headed
Missi>sipf editors good lesson in
reference to its alleged "ofticioUs in
termeddling in the affairs of the
State
1t is noticeable fact that editors
and public men, who are, or have
been, mixed up in machine politics, al
ways get mad if the short comings of
their falori.ts are exposed to public
view.
There are Il great many people who
think that newspapers should remain
silent on the foibles and rascality of
public men, and the mal-adminiStra-
ton of public affairs. They seem to
think that ii is oyerstepping the bounds
Of newspaper proprety and usefulness
to expose the social rottenncsS ola COM
muuity, or clamor Tor the punishment
of cyil doors.
The 1ralanchc is to be commended
il It's open and bold warfare for right
against wrong, no matter where or in
, hat State it exists. If every paper
in Mississippi Wa outspoken in the do
nunciation Of men ana measures which
