Little Rock, Ark, Feb. 9.--It will be
remembered that last Friday, in his
great speech on the Woodruff defalca-
tion, Speaker Rector, among other
things, said "lf man admits that
he Is short s96,S00, 1t impeaches bis
entire administration" To-day's de-
velopments strongly point to a CON-
pleto veri1cation of the speakers opin-
ion, for he gave 1t merely as his opin-
ion.
The Special Legislative Joint Com
mittee, for some time past at work on
the books and accounts Of the late
treasurer, to-day completed thorough
investigation of the office during the
first term, covering the period from
January IL, 1881, to January, 1888.
That the work OH the first term has
been finished Is known to only very
few people outside of the committee
and the experts.
Very few people suspected that
Woodruff's speculations began earlier
than during bis second term. The
money said to have been loaned God
bold was taken from the vaults in
1885. The Commercial correspondent
made several attempts to-day to learn
what the committee discovered in the
first term investigation. The members
OF the committee said they were in
honor bound not to divulge anything
until they report to the General As
sembly, which will be done as soon as
the Senate takes action upon the reso-
luton passed by the House Friday.
SHORTAGE IN THE FIRST TERM.
awe cannot submit tho report until
the Senate passes the Rector substi-
tute,n said a member to the CONNER
cial correspondent tonight. Notwith-
standing the refusal of the members
and clerks of the committee to talk,
the correspondent knew il to be fact
that shortage had been discovered,
amounting in the neighborhood Of
$4,000 during the first term.
Mai. Woodruff was notified by the
committee that his explanation was
wanted. but be referred the committee
to his chief clerk, who, up to a late
hour tonight has failed to explain
away The shortage. The chief clerk
knows absolutely nothing about the
MANY unlawful transactions that have
taken place IN the State Treasurer's
office during the ten years Of Major
Woodrun's incumbency, hence he can
not explain.

For this brave old earth must honor It's mirih,

The echoes bound to joyful sound,

Rejoice, and men " IN seek you,

They want full measure OF all your pleasure,
But they do uot want your woe.
BE glad, and your friends are many,
BE sad, aud you lose them all,
There are none to decline your neciar'd wine,
But alone you must drink lifes gall.
Feast, and your halls are crowded.
Fast, and the world goes by,
Succeed and give, aud il helps you live,
But no man can help you die.
There is room In the halls Of pleasure
For great aud lordly traini
But one by one We must all iiie on
Through the narrow isles Of pain.

Through correspondence between
Messrs. Lowry and McCardle. the au-
thors of the History of Mississippi, and
Messrs. II II. Henry & Co., of the
Clarion-Lcdger, we learn that the
forthcoming work is to be published
by the latter,
In their letter to the publishers, tho
authors say:
1--WE are pleasad to receive your let
ter of this date, and can haye no hesi-
tatlon In saying, that as a matter OF
personal satisfaction, we should be
gratifled to have our History of Mis-.
sissippl, the work of Mississippi hands,
from turret to foundation stone. Our
lives have been spent In the State, and
in everything under our control our
own citizens shall have the preference"
This history is naturally looked for
with considerable interest, for several
reasons
First, as the want of good history
of the State has long been felt.
Second, because that history is re-
plete with the most interesting matter
concerning men aud things of past
date which concerns the present gen.
Grafton.
Third, because the authors, ex-Gov.
Lowry, and Col. W. Ii. McCardle, are
admirably fitted for the task they have
undertaken, by reason of their knowl-
edge OF the State; its past and present,
and are both fluent and exact writer's
To the people of this county, the
Oldest in the State, the book, we pre-
sumo will be particularly interesting,
as here was the Territorial and first
State capital and the work will neces-
sarily embrace much local detail asso-
clated with the county.

The pre-eminent claim Of the Dem
ooratic party upon tho people Of Mis-
sissippi, both inside and outside the
Alliance rests upon Its devoted cham
pionship Of the supremacy ofthe white
race. In respect to this matter,
which SO far as Mlssissippians are
concerned is paramount to all
economic measures, and to every
selfish consideration of material pros
perity, the Democratic party has
known but one path, and has trod that
through all its thorny length with un-
faltering feet. The time has certainly
not yet come when tho Alliance and
the Democratic party can consent to O
divorce, aud until that time comes,
this journal viii uphold the interests
Of both, and If IL seems too earnest at
any time IN the advocacy of the one, II
begs that the other will not forget the
identity of those interests. II pro-
poses to give an equivalent for the
favor 1t has met with from both, and
has no patience with that maudlin sup
port exemplifled by the prohibitionist
who favored the law, but was oppos-
ed to its enforcement. IL has no polit-
icaI theories that 1t will not seek with
its whole strength to make practi-
cally operative. While the buglo
is sounding to battle it will never
turn Quaker, aud give up its gun
on any flimsy and pulling pre-
tense That II is essentially nom
combatant, or, if you please, non-par-
tisan. There have been, and perhaps
are, papers that never having had any
positive convictions, have never In
consequences fallen into any positive
expressions, on the great vital ques-
tions of the day, and that can readily
assume the obligation of poor Bottom
In bis theatric lion skin: II will roar
you as gently as any sucking dove |
will roar you, ant we're any nightin-
gaIe.n The Mlssissippian Is not one
of these, and never will be.
When 1t assumed, ON the tender Of
the Alliance, the duties of State jour
nal, its views were, without conceal
ment, presented to the executive COM
mittec, who were clothed with full
authority from the Alliance TO select
State organ. There was q perfect un-
derstanding as 10 what the policy Of
this paper would be, and IL has the
qualification of knowing that the conn
miitee has approved Its conduct
throughout.
