The following telegraphic dispatch
is going the rounds of the press:
Hon. j. L. Stay, who has besp lead
ing figure in the Democratic politics
of Clark county, Miss, for the past
quarter of century, having been re-
peatedly honored with legislative posi-
lions, has left the Democratic fold to
join in the Third party, in his letter of
withdrawal he says: "A new party must
rise and sweep the rottenness and cor
ruption of the old parties from the face
of the earth This is the way wisdom
would suggest for the salvation of the
republic, whose corner stone is labor.
But there is another way and we fear
that will be the choice of many-war;
war-the mad fury of the enraged peo-
pie, and when that comes millions will
be strung up at lamp posts like cartons,
their places will be burned to the
ground, their wealth sliced and scat
tered to the winds, while carnival of
blood reigns supreme"

THE GRAND JURY.
Minority and Majority Reports Msde to
Jndge Chrisman

Judge Chrisman.
Wednesday evening about o'clock
the grand jury fled into the court
room to submit their report to Judge
Chrisman, which was done under the
strain of an open rupture.
1t had been currently rumored for
several days that the grand jury split
over certain matters, and this was amply
confirmed by the following double re-
port:
To Hon. j. u. ChriSman:
The grand jury has been in session
since June 9Th. during which time one
hundred and siNty-one witnesses have
been examined and twenty-five true
bills returned to the court.
We have made personal inspection
of the State prison and county Jail and
have found them to be in good sanitary
condition with ample arrangements for
safe keeping of the prisoners. their &C
commodation and health.
The tax books of the sheriff together
with his reports and settlements we
have found to be correct.
We have endeavored to handle the
cases which have been brought to our
notice with that care which their i'm
portance seemed to demand, and have
presented no person whom we did not
believe could be convicted on the evil
dence before us.
We have good reason for believing
that the Sunday law is in some of its
features openly defied, but on the evil
dence before us we have not felt war
ranted to return indictments. 1t is to
be hoped that the grand jury for the
next term may have less hard work to
do, and SO be better able to hunt out
such dangerous disturbers of society.
In the matter of alleged Irregular
ties in the granting of liquor license.
we have acted upon the best legal adj
vice obtainable, together with the tes-
timony of experts, and can discover no
cause for censure of the officers who
granted the licenses. or the licensees.
We would respectfully suggest, how
ever. that. inasmuch as our district Is
somewhat stirred up on the subject.
State Revenue Agent be requested to
examine into all liquor licenses now i'll
force. with view to determining
whether or not any irregularities do
actually exist, and that he make public
the result OF his examination at the
earliest date practicable.
We would respectfully suggest that
the practice on the part of railroad
companies of having stock which Is
killed along their lines buried before
proper appraisement has been made. is
fraught with danger to the interests of
owners of such stock. and that the
Railroad Commissioners should require
all companies whose lines pass through
this district to file weekly transcript
from their records in the office of the
circuit clerk, giving such detailed de
scription of stock killed that owners
thereof may have proper facilities af-
forded them for Identification and APP
praisement.
Believing that no necessity exists for
a further session of our body. we re-
spcctfully ask to be discharged.

To Hon. ! II. ChriSman:

SIR-We adopt the report just read
by our Foreman in every thing except
that part of it which refers to gaming
and liquor license. We have not for
gotten that your Honor instructed us
to look especially into violations of the
law in regard to gaming. We have
made dilligent inquiry into that. We
have examined a great many witnesses,
and we are sorry to say that it Is very
difficult matter to prove what we are
morally certain of, viz: That there
are three regular gaming rooms in the
city of Jackson. and one in Terry, Miss,
and that great many OF our young
men engage in this most demorallzlng
vice. We have four witnesses to testi-
fy positively against twenty-four men
for gaming, and we found twenty-four
indictments against these men. But
on the following day two or three of the
Jury who voted for the indictments
changed their minds, for what cause
we know not. as no further evidence
was introduced.
Just before we made this, our report,
we polled twelve in favor of these in
dictments. but after we got into the
court room one of those who voted for
the indictments (Mr. ID. p. Porter, Jr..)
changed his mind. this only left eleven,
so we. as a grand jury, stand in the
awkward attitude of indicting four men
for keeping gaming tables, and not
single indictment for gaming.
We, as a jury, have worked at great
disadvantage, as we have only had an
average of fourteen present during our
deliberations. the others being absent
on account of sickness, and as it takes
twelve to indict we very often failed on
account of one or two votes.
We believe that there are two saloons
run in Jackson on one license, as the
party is allowed to do business on two
different streets, in two different houses
We think this is violation of the law
and that his license should be CANCEL
ed, but some of the jury seemed to think
that as the party has the license, that
nothing further can be done by this
grand jury, we respectfully beg to be
discharged.

The Prohibition Mass Meeting called
at Raymond last Friday to take the
preliminary steps for calling a local
option election in Kinds county was a
fiat failure, This was due principally
to the fact that few men in Jackson

and who inaugurated this movement.

The following sensible and timely
remarks are fresh from the lips of Rev.
Sam p. Jones:
REPRODUCTION Yes, over-produc-
ton. We have it in abundance: Over
production of thief legislation, and
over production of fools who submit to
it over-production of political tramps
living on the body polite: over-prOduc
ton of fools reading the papers of their
enemies over-production of fool far
mers and laborers that believe every
thing their enemies say; Over-produc
ton of fools that have never read the
history of their country that have
never read the history of the United
States-that don't know the farmers
have got to organize as all laborers
have organized bankers. the man
ufacturers, the mechanics. the doctors,
the merchants, the railroad men. the
spectators and the thieves. The far
mers' organization comes last.

To the Public:

have heard it reported that eleven
of the grand jury tried to. present in
dictments against certain persons.
There is not a word of truth in this
statement. We did try to return in
dictments against certain parties, TWEEN
ty-four of them, who had been regular
ly indicted by the required number of
votes, (the grand jury record or docket
will bear witness to this fact and we
believed when we handed the papers to
the Judge, that there were twelve men
present who sustained them. We are
not responsible for the member of the
jury who changed his vote between the
Jury room and the court.
Respectfully,

great joy to be elected, but he did not

MIR. Weed, and he did. He saw the
politicians and urged them to nominate
young Fillmore, and they did SO and
elected him.
Thus Millard Fillmore began his
political career at 28 years of age. In
Albany he met Mr.. Weed and another
man, who was to become very famous
as politician and statesman. and
almost attain the Presidency, William
II. Seward. From this time on. owing
TO the friendship of Mr.. Weed and his
own abilities, young Fillmore's pro0.
ress was rapid. Mr.. Weed helped him
TO secure nomination for Congress.
and in less than fifteen years from the
time ne was a wool carder. he was
chairman of the most important conn
mlttee in Congress, for it was the one
winch prepared the bills providing for
tne raising of money, and also at that
time, for the expenditure of it for the
support of the Government.
Through the influence of Mr. Weed
very largely, Mr.. Fillmore was nomi.
