This distinguished and well
known gentleman, is out in a six
column letter IN the Mississippian
defending and explaining the Sub
Treasury scheme. It's length pre-
cludes us from laying it in full be-
fore the readers of the DEMOCRAT.
STAR. The Clarion-Ledger thus
summarizes the arguments of the
gentleman:
LIST. That II is constitutional. In
support Of this position, he cites
the constitution itself, the acts of
the government, The opinion of it's
trainers as declared soon after its
formation, and the decisions of the
Supreme Courts.
I'd. That it is justified by prece.
dents which serve the double pur-
pose OF indicating the measure,
and Of refuling the objections
which have been urged against il /;
precedenis, some of which he says
were established by the DIRECTORS
themselves.
81. That some of the objections
which have been raised are nntena-
BILE, aud IN some instances transpa.
rently frivolous.
4th. That it is a meritorious
measure for reasons which he sets
forth in detail.
He takes care, however, TO as
sert that it is subject To moditica-
ton and amendment ; that lis orig
mater RS do not claim that il is per.
feet that they ask for it calm con
sideration /; and caring hltle for
"mInor Details" only aim at the
attainment Of the main object,
viz: IAN increase of HE volume

POSTMASTER LYSD OF MOSS POINT.

About the 2Sth of last month
Postmaster A. +. Lynd, of Moss
Point, very mysteriously disap-
peared and has not since been
heard from. As he was somewhat
addicted to periodical DRINKS,
nothing was thought of it for some
days, thinking he would turn up
as soon as sober. As he was alb
sent so long without being heard
of, and the duties of his office be.
ing neglected, his bondsmen very
naturally wanted to know more
about it. They, therefore, sum
moned Mr.. Thomas ii. Fuller,
Postoffice Inspector, to their aid,
and had a general overhauling of
his books and accounts. This Off
Ger, after a careful investigation of
the matter, finds Mr.. Lynd to be

Immediately be made good by his

ing away. The new Of the kill
ing of a few Dagoes in New Or
leans must have been received by
the Italian Government when it
was in a very bilious mood, and
caused it to do as most bilious
men do-mabe a fool of itself.
But it now seems that they are
SOLDERING down., and if they con-
tinue 10 improve as fast as they
have in the last few days, they
will not only want no Indemnity,
but conclude TO give us a vote of
thanks for bearing with them so
long.
Neither nation wants war, and
we will not have it. Even if Italy
desired war she is in no condition
to go into it.
We do sometimes get a little
out of patience when we hear of
the great(?) Italian navy, and that
we are defenceless. As little as is
thought of it, we are in better
trim for a fight than most people
suppose. If We are not ready we
soon will be. 1t only requires an
emergency to show what this great
Yankee nation is made of. We
expect no war, but we will get
all the same.

THE reason that the "P. Z. z"
advertisement does not appear in
the DEMocRAT-STAR the price offer

low-in fact, it is no pay at all.
That Is what is the matter with the
press of the country now-it works
for nothing and tries to live on air

our family a decent living, and we

OBITUARY.

BRO. A.. Fl. PHELPS was born in 1879
and died March IL, 1891, aged 70 years
Sister MARY PHELPS, wife of A. ii. Phelps
died August 81, 1889, aged about 81 years
Brother and Sister Phelps came to
Jackson county, Miss, about eight years
ago from Clark county, Miss, and settled
on Fort Bayou. Sister Phelps ended heI
pilgrimage at this place. Brother Phelps
moved last year to Puryis, Mss. and end
ed his life at the house of Bro. Martin
Qnaves.
These two good and useful persons
have gone into eternity. Both We're
members the Congregational Methodist
Church. All who knew them loved them,
and believe they have gone to the home
of the redeemed spirits. They lived god
ly, Christian lives. Wherever they lived
their influence was felt for good. They
leave behind seven children and a host of
friends to mourn their death, but they do
not mourn as those who have no hope,
but are satisfied that when they see them
again it will be among the redeemed.
Both were laid away in the new gIave-
yard at Shiloh Church, IN Fort Bayou, to
await the general resurrection, when the
second coming of Christ will be when the
sea and graves shall give up their dead.
God grant that the bereaved children
will meet the Son of God and their par
ents in peace, is the desire of the writer.

O'MALLEY RETURNS.

Dominick G. O'Malley, the great
jury packer and suborner of wit.
nesses that the mob wanted sc
bad in New Orleans, has returned
and given himself up to the -au.
thorities. He is pretty cheeky to
give himself up, even at this late
day, although he knows that the
wrath of a mob soon cools down,
and when cooled there is no more
danger from that source.
This man, from the position he
held, should have been a good
man, but from our observation of
that class detectives we begin to
think that there is a great deal in
the old adage-set a thief to catch
a thief. O'Malley's reputation
has never been good, and whether
people have a much worse opin-
ion of him now than they had be-
fore remains to be seen. That he
is guilty as charged hardly admits
of a doubt. But it is evident that
he has, or thinks he has, matters
arranged to his liking, or he would
never have turned up. 1t is evil
he has some of the politi-
clans of the city under his thumb
by the ease with which he gave
We cannot say that we
want a mob to hang him, but We
do hope the courts will do HIM
strict justice, which will amount
to about the same thing.

have given the plan much serious

THE LATE FR0STS.

While IN our immediate vicinity
we have suffered but very little
damage from the trosts of Sunday
and Monday, we fear that great de-
structIOn has been meted out to
our citizens in the interior and
northern portion of The State. II
the destruction is as great as many
believe, 1t will be a sad affair, par
ticularly up about Crystal Springs
and along the line OF The Illinois
Central Railroad, where gardening
and fruit raising is carried on to a
great extent. We even hear a
wall from Mobile, and parts OF
Florida, but in the last mentioned
points we hope they r worse
scared than hurt. But even if the
worst should prove TO be the case,
there is still time for fine gardens.
The only difference being the loss
of seed and waiting a little longer
for our money.
In our own locality nothing but
he tendereSt vegetables are killed,
that is something always TO
looked for. This is not the lat
,st killing frosts that we have ever
lad by a good deal, and still we
lid well. But that we should hate
o be disappointed is all natural
nough, but we must not be dis
outraged.
