in Chalmers's district, but he, as yet, has
given no Indication as to any preference

Gibbs for the place, and would probably
win but for the fact that Cunningham, the
contestant against Hooker, is out for the
latter.
There are no candidates in the field yet
for the Postollices at Vicksburg and Green

SOIREE MUSICALE.

On last Friday evening, at her
music rooms on the corner of Queen
and Burke streets, Miss Pink Wilen
held her annual soiree musicale
rare treat enjoyed by many Of her
friends and patrons. The class of 'S9
was very interesting one, and those
persons who where so fortunate as to
be present were not disappointed in
their predictions of the enjoyment the
evenings entertainment would afford.
The young ladies composing the class
were attired in the regular commence
ment dress, and with faces flushed in
anticipation of their reception, pre-
scented picture most pleasing to the
eye. The selections chosen bore evil
dence of an artists hand, and were
rendered in a manner which must
have been not only satisfactory to
their instructress, but highly crafty
ing TO parents and friends alike. The
delicacy of touch, richness of tone,
brilIiancy of execution, grace of move
ment and harmonious blending of the
whole, so noticeable in every produc-
ton, was proof conclusive that more
than ordinary ability had been exe--
cised in the training of the perform
ers, and that care, diligency and
thoroughness had been among the
chief elements of their success. All
acquitted themselves handsomely.
Miss Wilen may feel proud of her
work, and will have no cause to re-
greet any extra labor expended in be-
half of her pupils as true merit will
always bring its reward. A GUEST.

pondence in The HERALD than you are,
I admit that the letter of intimidation
and bribery received during the school
campaign was from the pen of Rev. E,
Holmes Lamar, bot Mr.. Lamar told me
you wrote to him and requested him to
make those threats and propositions con-
tanned in that letter, and requested him
to send you my answer as soon as he re-
ceived it. W hich he did. He gave as his
reason for complying with your request
was that he believed at the time he wrote
to me, that if you were elected you
would attempt to carry out your nefari-
GUS threat from the way you made the
declaration to him. have every reason
to believe you made your threat good, ,
from the report Mr.. Lamar gave me Of
the way you managed the examination
of my manuscript. To use his own
words in his statement to my friends,
you stole my answers from the presence
of him and Mr.. Albright and graded my
certificate to suit yourself, and the next
morning asked them to endorse your
work of vengeance.
Now Mr.. Dodd, please tell us pro boz
no publico. how Mr.. Jacob Syester. of
Failing Waters. came in possession Of the
letter of intimidation he received few
days before your elettion. You and

public was not imposed up, but why did
you not think of that when you gave your
sister a four-year certificate illegally, last
season.

have me sue you and give you a chance
to crawl out of the mire you have placed
yourself in by your changing my manu-
script before you presented It to that tri-
bunal. which believe you would do,
since you stopped me ON the street and
tried to trade me the sworn obligations
of your office for my support on your
election. .aR ar e8L
