GETTING HOMOGENEOUS.

In the month of March 1775 the
patriot Patrick Henry in his grand
speech against the tyranny OF England
and in favor of American independ-
ence, used the following memorable
words now familiar to every son of
the soil: 81 know not what course
others may take, but as for me, give
me liberty, or give me DEATH This
fearless utterance in the hour of inn
minent danger was made over one
hundred and eighteen years ago.
Compare the situation now, with
what it was then, and truthful par
aparase of the hero Henry's declara-
ton would be: Give me Office or go
to h-ll.
The scenes in Washington City
have, since the early part OF March,
been of the most humiliating charac-
ter to those members OF the human
family that retain modicum of sell
respect. The wild wolverine hunt
after Office has eclipsed ia every way
all that has heretofore transpired IL

Putting Down 0utlawry.

The two White Cap outlaws, Tyson
and Shields, whoSwerc recently tried
and convicted in the District Court at
Hazlehurst, Miss, were on Friday SEN
fenced each to one years imprison-
ment in the State Penitentiary by
Judge Cbrisman.
1t appears that there was consid-
cradle public sentiment in favor Of the
criminals, and when application was
made iu their behalf tor new trial,
large body of men, numbering quite
one hundred, waited on the Judge aud
urged that it be granted. Judge
Christman, who is said TO be one of
the firmest and most fearless magis-
trates OH any bench, resisted their inn
porsunities, whatever they may have
been, aud rejected ever plea for new
trial The Interview between the
Judge and The White Caps sympaihiz-
ers took place in the Judges private
office, and although no report has been
made of the transaction, it is known
that the mission of the White Capper's
| friends was entirely unsuccessful, so
THAT moi only was a new trial not
granted, but bail pending an appeal to
the Supreme Court was refused.
Such judge honors his high call
ing and proves himself to true con-
servasor of public order and q noble
pillar Of his State. This sort of out
rage on private property aud on the
/ rights and lives Of the citizens which
has come 10 be known under the name
of "White Capism" is far too common
in many of the States, North and
i South, but it is with this species OF
outlawry in the Soutl, that the South.
ern people have most need to concern
themselves. II should be put down al
every cost, and when the officers q
the law are brave enough aud devoted
enough to bring to justice these crimi
nails, as they have done at Ilazlehurst
they deserve the highest praise and
support from their people and iron
oil people who want to see law ant
orden sustained and enforced.
The names of the deputation tina
called on Judge Chrisman ought t.
be published, SO that the people o
Mississippi may know who are in sym

dall's appointment, the congressmen

Mr.. Crandall's application. At
least, he would do so, as he consid-
cred the appointment q local one,

good sense in the position of the
