Attacking Marry /.

This is what Governor Foraker
said to a reporter:
1T is a matter Of common report,
and accepted by many, including
myself, though was not there to
positively know it, that Judge
Thurman and bis family carried del
icacies to Confederate prisoners
while locked up at Camp Chase
three or four miles from here, du-
ring the war"
This is what Mr.. Thurman re-
Piled
Il say bless them for calling at
tention to the Confederate soldier
delicaeies business. remember
what a good samaritan my wife was
in those days. Governor Denni-
son and Governor Tod often spoke
of the goodness of Mrs. Thurman
in distributing to the sick, forlorn
aud captive ones, fruit and fresh
things. Governor Foraker does
not attack me when he mentions
those incidents. He attacks Mary"
And this is the comment of the
Boston Herald, which thus points
the finger Of deserved scorn:
'1s there mother or a sister
who had a son or a brother cap
tured in the war of the rebellion
but thinks OF the comfort It would
have been TO know that some wo-
manly heart was throbbing in pity
for him in the South, and some
womanly hand extended for his
comfort? There was lovely lady
in Ohio who did this good deed for
captives who were destitute, sick
and friendless, from the Southern
army. And now, when more than
twenty years have passed, and
passion has had time to die out,
even TO leaving no trace of It's en-
bers, there is public man in Ohio
mean enough to reprosch this la
dy for striving to mitigate the suf
ferings Of the unfortunate captive
OF war. Politics pull men down to
the basest acts, but it would not be
easy to point elsewhere to a degra-
dation quite so disgusting as is
this"
There may be meaner and more
contemplate men than Foraker
holding high position ir this coun-
try, but we do not know Of them.

The Meridian Democrat makes
the following sensible remarks:
owe do not see what inherent
deficiency or disqualification there
is in farmer, that should deprive
him of right enjoyed by other
citizens OF the State. Merchants
band together in stock exchanges
and ask of the Legislature what
laws they want. Lawyers through
local and State bar associations,
demand what changes they please
in the Jurisprudence Of the State.
Physicians, through the State medi-
cal boards and other similar bod
les, demand the enactment Of laws
for the protection of the medical
profession. Why then this discrim
ination against the farming classes!
Why shall not the farmers demand
laws protecting their interests? i
is lamentable fact that the taxes
Of this State do not fall with equa
and exact justice on all. Ii is {
lamentable fact that while various
properties are frequently exempted
from taxation, the farmer ever bai
to pay his taxes to the last cent OIL
see his home mercilessly sold owe
the head Of himself and his weep
ing. outeast family. There are
hundred ways In which the law a
relating to the farming classe
might be improved"

Col. Hamilton Brings Most Encour-
aging Reports About this Road.
Lon lhe ClaFIon,Ledger.

From Clarion-Ledger.
Col. Nugent returned from New
York Saturday, and Col. Hamilton
on Monday last, where they had
been with President Hardy and
Gen. Faulkrer to attend a meeting
Of the Board Of Directors Of the
Gulfand Ship Island Railroad Com
pany.
Upon meeting Col. Hamilton on
yesterday, We inquired Of him the
progress and prospects ofthe road.
He said the prospects of the con-
struction Of the road we're never as
bright as now; that the friends Of
the enterprise in New York were
entirely satisfied with the project
and seem willing TO continue ad-
vancing the necessary means to
prosecute the work. There has not
yet been sold any bonds Of the
road, and all the money thus far
advanced has been by the persons
connected with the enterprise.
Col. Hardy sailed for London on
last Saturday week, so that on
Monday last he was there to meet
English capitalists, upon whose in
vitation he had made the trip.
Negotiations have been progress
ing in London for some months
for the placing Of the bonds of the
company, and Col. Hardy went
there to confer with the parties
having the matter in hand.
Gen. Faulkner has his road (the
northern division of the road run
ming now TO Pontotoc, and as soon
as possible, that line will be push
cd on to Houston. On the south.
ern division, Capt. Grant, the chief
engineer, is pushing the work as
fast as possible, under the circum-
stances. He has ten miles more Of
iron now 10 lay, which will give
about twenty-five miles running on
that road. The earth work will
be completed to Hattlesburg by lst
Of August. The steel rail that has
been laid on the lower end is i'm
ported rail, coming from Liver
pool, and it Is thought Col. Hardy
will arrange tor a quantity suffici-
ent to lay the line from Gulfport
TO Hattiesburg while he is over
there. Track laying will be push
in both directions, and the Hat
iesburg connection be completed
as soon as possible.
1t is the purpose ofthe Company
to continue work north of Hatties-
burg towards Forest, Sthrougb
Smith county, as soon as it is
reached. The engineers will be
put in thefeld next month to make
a permanent location Of the line,
and when the line north is located
there will be a survey made of a
line from some point on the man
line in Smith county to Jackson.
The Company intends running
trains from Gulfport through Bran
don direct TO Jackson. The work
Of the Jackson line will be COM
mcnced, without accident, this
summer.

A Passenger Train Badly Wrecked, But
No One Iojured.
Copyright, 1855, BY The California Associated Press
PENDLEroN, August 27th.-Last nights
eastbound passenger train was wrecked at
Five Point Bridge, nine miles this side of
La Grange. The train was going down
Blue Mountain at speed of forty-five
miles an hour, when one of the coaches
was derailed just before reaching the
bridge. The two cars following 1t also
jumped the track, and all three ran across
the bridge on the ties, tearing the structure
almost to pieces. They were ditched after
reaching the other side of the bridge, and
were smashed up in terrific manner.
BY miraculous and happy stroke of for
tune not soul was injured. The track
and bridge at the scene of the accident are
in such a dilapidated condition that trains
were delayed all today.

The Mississippi Election Frauds Again
Under Discussion.
Copyright, 1855, byate California associated PrcssI
WASHINGTON, August 27th.-The greater
part of the time of the Senate to-day was
occupied in a discussion cf the political
methods at the South, arising out of the
Mississippi election investigation. Senator
Wilson, of Iowa, again addressed himself
to the subject of the denial OF equal politi-
cal rights to the negroes. He showed the
deplorable treatment to which colored
voters were subjected in Mississippi at the
hands of " hite Democrats, and how, for
fear of their lives, the colored voters of
Jackson held convention and withdrew
their candidates before the municipal elec-
ton in 1887, and concluded to remain away
from the polls. 1t was the Senator's opin-
ion that the members of the Congressional
Investigating Committee who submitted
the minority report on this subject were
influenced by those who controlled the
election. A great deal of testimony was
read which showed that there was con-
certed plan among those who managed the
elections to draw an exclusive white
line,n and that this was an insurmountable
barrier to all colored citizens, no matter
what vote they desired to cast.
Senator Walthall defended the Jacksoni-
ans, and said that the regime of Mayor
McGill, the predecessor of the present
Mayor, which was regarded by Senator Will
son as such a model one. was marked by
lawlessness and murder. He said that
from the repeated acts of crime which
were allowed to go on by McGill's negro
police caused the white people to combine,
irrespective of party views, 10 overthrow
the Mayor under whose governorship the
lives and property of the whites were at
stake. Many prominent Republicans were
allied with this movement.

REPORT on inc condition OF the Missouri,
Kansas and Texan Railroad.
Copyright, 1885, by G,e California AssOciated Press
New YORK, August 27th.-The repor. of
the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railroad
long anticipated, was made public tonight.
The committee shows possible reduction
OF S2,84O,O00 in the expenses of the several
divisions. In the event of separation from
the Missouri Pacific system the Kansas and
Texas has valuable northern connexions
which might ripen into an advantageous
alliance. Concerning the Great Northern
stock, about which SO much has been said
the committee decaresit it is not competent
for use as an asset, as it is properly under
the mortgages and represents an acquired
road for which Kansas and Texas stock has
been issued.
The report shows a seeming deficit Of
$500 600, which is offset. however bv
valuable assets. An expenditure of about
the same amount viii be necessary for rep
aration of the property, aud to complete
the Dallas and Waco road TO Hillsborough
will require $495000 additional. TIE
Taylor, Bastrop and Houston section re-
quires $409, 500 for completion. These will
entitle the company 10 Issue bonds upon
the property at the ratio of e, 900 per mile
of the road complete.
The report is decidedly unfavorabia.
Both the committee and Directors decliue
to state what stepS they will take to improve

BosToN, August 27th.-The Congressional
immigration Investigation Committee be.
gan work here this morning. Only three
members were present. The first witness,
State superintendent of the Poor Wright
ington, testified that during last year AZ O62
Immigrants landed at ports of this State.
OF this number 107 persons ought not to have
been landed, and were classified thus: Three
lunatics, convict, 81 paupers and 46 con-
tracted for. Of these 6 of the paupers were
landed and 55 of the others returned.
Mr.. Wrightington became aware some
time ago that the British Government and
Luke Society were assisting emigrants to
this country, and 7 500 were so assisted.
The society was founded by Luke of New
York, and was a charitable scheme.
Through them about one million dollars was
appropriated by the British Government for
that purpose. The Mansion House fund
was raised for the purpose of assisting Rus
sian Jews OF Crimea to emigrate to America
In 1882 large number arrived in this city.
They were the poorest set that ever came
here, and they filled the almshouses. They
would not eat the same bread or other food,
and had to be sent back.
Special Treasury Agent Montgomery tes-
titled that IS per cent. of the fishermen on
New England vessels were aliens. The
native fishermen have been exterminated.
At Gloucester, the second important fishery
port, the industry is conducted almost

Cleveland's message to politics He says
that if Cleveland's policy is carried out it
would result in a commercial war between
the United States and Canada. and the
United States would be enormously in
jured. 1t would have great effect on the
commerce of New York, Boston and other
north Atlantic ports. Halifax would be
greatly benefited SO would St. John. He
doesn't think that there will be any COM
mercial war. Better sense will prevail.
Arbitration and compromise will probably
come in. He sincerely hopes the proposed
retaliation will not be carried out, and
scarcely thinks it would have been sug-
gested or the treaty rejected if there was
not a President to be elected.

WASHINGTON, August 27th.-Colonel La
mont, Cleveland's Private Secretary, i'll a
conversation to-day about tine Presidents
reported contribution of $4,000 to the
Democratic campaign, said: :" don't see
anything very startling about that story. 1t
is well known that the President has al
ways openly and above-board been in the
habit of making such contributions as his
means justified toward deflaying the neces-
sary and legitimate expenses of his party
campaign, whether he has been candidate
for office or not, and this year is not likely
to be an exception. The expense for docu-
ments, meetings, ETC., in national cam
paign covering the whole country run up
into the hundreds of thousand of dollars.
Somebody must pay it, and none could be
expected to more cheerfully than those
who are supposed to have personal inter
est in their party's success. The President
will, as he has heretofore done, assist the
Democratic party in this manner as far as
he thinks fair and proper-j1st, suppose,
as General Harrison and General Fiske will
aid the Republican and Prohibition parties.

mentioned ($10, ,000) is not unusually large"

New York, August 26th.-Commodore
John G. Walker arrived here on SATURDAY..
He has decided to send another expedition
OF naval officers to Mexico ana Central
America to make observations in connec-
ton with the work of determining the
meridian's longitude by the use of the tele-
graph, An expedition under command of
Lieutenant ]. A. Norris will leave here
early in November, so as to reach
Mexico at the beginning of the
dryl season, as clear, dry weather
is necessary for the requisite astronomical
observations. From Vera Cruz the
submarine cable extends to Coatzaeoolas,
on the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, thence by
land line across the Isthmus of Sslina
Cruz on the Pacific, from which point the
cable is carried down the coast. An OBJ
server will be stationed at each of these
places, and the difference in time between
them will be determined. The expedition
will be absent about five months. After
the compilations shall have been COM
pleted the result will be made public.
