was gross insult to every respectable citizen
of the Commonwealth, and an unnitisated
outrage upon the people Of vicksburg.
The negro is not even q citizen Of Vicks-
burg. but was selected from the State at
large as the man whose appointment was GER
tain TO be the most offensive that could pos
sibly be made. A large mass-meeting was
held at yicksburg, at which earnest but tenn
perafe resolutions were offered in protest
against the action Of the President but so far
from this step being likely to make the i'm

that it will only confirm his narrow, obstinate

impose upon the people Of Vicksburg negro

serves. would be actively employed as n con-
Wet in strengthening the leyees Of the Misss-

pected that Harrison has filed the vacancy in

POSTMASTER OF yICksBURG.

IL seems to afford President Harrison the
highest degree Of pleasure to make appoint
ments in the Southern States which he is fully
aware will be peculiarly offensive TO the
Southern people. BY this means, he evident
ly seeks to crafty his feeling of petty spite
against a section which has always regarded
him with undisguised contempt and dislike.
One Of his first acts after his Inaugural
ton WAS to place low negro

people of State which had given over a

Of his opponent, Mr. Cleveland This was
the revenge which he took, and it was in a
form quite characteristic of the man.
The white Republicans of Texas themselves
warmly condemned the appointment as highly
iuadyisable. and SO much aroused were they
that they assembled in State convention.
and in series Of resolutions declared that
negroes thereafter would not be recognized
by them as members of the Republican party
of Texas.
That beoted and narrow-minded partisan
like Harrison would object to the main object

DYING SONGS OF CONGRESSIONAL SWANS
