OYER THE STATE.

Chief Clerk Day, who arrived on the
Morning Star, thinks the owners Of the
Crown Point should make proposals TO |
the postal authorities to carry the mail
an additional day during the high
water season.-Commereial Herald.
Greenville made a gallant fight but
the floods poured down upon her in
greater volume than she could over
come, and the streets are now flooded.
Greenville is lively city, but she viii
always have this drawback. If she
only had a portion OF our bluff she
would be all right.-Natehez Banner.
[The Banner appears to think that
Greenville hasn't any @bluffH1
The citizens Of Greenville fought the
water manfully but to no avail-the
pitiless waves broke through their
levees, making Greenyille the Venice
of America. While it will be blow
to the town no one acquainted with
her past record can indulge in specu-
latiye skepticism as to its future
Twice cayed into the river and de.
stroyed by fire in the past, yet the
energy of her citizens remained un-
daunted, and from each disaster she
has grown in wealth, population and
enterprise. Success and bright
future for our sister city.-Bolivar
Review.

The Richmond, (va.) States says:
at has been said that one of the
most learned and profound constitu-
tional lawyers in the United States
Senate is Senator George of Missis-
sippi. His speech in the Senate on
the Republican proposition that the
Senate should investigate the case Of
Henry j. Franz, who, 1t is alleged, was
ill-treated at Aberdeen, Mississippi, a
: short time ago, will serve the more
firmly to establish his reputation
There had not been delivered In the
Senate in long time so comprehen
i sive, so succinct, so forcible an exposi
tion of the delegated aud the reserved
powers of the States. 1t was such &C
curate and faithful construction of th,
great instrument which renders pow

Interpretation of those who woult
: pervert its plain and simple teaching
Greenville is under water. After
v gallant struggle that did honor to he
pluck and determination, Mississippi
J brightest and livest city has had t
succumb TO the discomforts of TEN
porary inundation. We hope and be
lieve the harm done will not be YER
serious. Anything that INJURIES Greer
vile must affect the whole Delta. w
glory in the vim and vitality of ou
indomitable neighbor, and we hate lik
the mischief to see her receiving Sc
a back of any kind. But now that he

have ever marked her in the tryir
