tions to build a public wharf consist
ing of L. a. Levin, S. A, Dutch and

at the same place as the late wharf OF
the Pascagoula Ship Chandlery Com
pany stood, as being the most central
point. Liberal subscriptions haye al
ready been made for this purpose
Mr.. George w. Ladnier was selected

| to rebuild breakwaters and renewthe
| front street. A committee of three,

pointed to call on the property own
ers along the front to ascertain whal
they would do in the premises. Col

his services as engineer, the proper
lines for a uniform breakwater il
thereby assured.

THE COURSE FOR VOORHEES,.

1t is doubtless true that Senator Voor-
hees's friends are very anxious regarding
his political future. He has executed a
change of front under very trying circum-
stances. He is showing irresolution and
lack of the zeal of a real convert in his
new position Consequently, while some OF
his old soft-money followers denounce him,
his new friends berate him for irresolu-
ton.
Still, there is hope for the senior Sena-
tor. or would be if he had the courage of
conviction in pursuing his present course
True. some Democratic editors are assail-
ing him because of his changed attitude
In regard to the free coinage of silver,
but they are of no possible account. A
portion OF postoffice or something OF the
sort will bring harmony to their now dis
cordant organs Besides. and what is
vastly more important. the sensible DEM
ocrats of Indiana are in favor of sound

unless they can get them cheaper for the

who are Democrats are solid for the pol

divulged. Mr.. Voorhees, should find CON-
