No mar should run for or accept an
Office the duties of which through fear
or incOmpetency he is unable to per.
form. He should be a courageous
man, knowing neither friend or foe in
the discharge Of his official duties.
Such an official IS only an instrument
In the hands Of the law, and it is not
for him to say whether this or that
law is right, but it Is his duty to see
that the mandates Of law are stricly
adhered to, whether the offenders
thereof are rich or poor they should
be arrested. When a man accepts an
office lie takes an oath to faithfully
and impartially execute the law a. he
finds It, and when he proves recreant
to the trust reposed In him he himself
is a culprit and amenable to the law.

TO THE PEE-EOr THE GALLONS.

The cold .blO0ded murder of r. I,
Dinkins by Marshall, Fox and Cole
man ut Brandon some days ago Is still
fresh 10 the minds OF the people. The
awfulness OF the crime shocked the
people OF Mississippi from center to
circumference, and caused them to
stop with awe and ask themselves the
question, can IL be possible that Gods
footstool Is the dwelling place Of men
so lost to the common instincts Of
humanity. 1t Is no wonder we shud-
der. Three young men in the flower
of manhood, reared In the lap OF lux.
ury, the pride Of doting parents, pos
sessed OF a high order Of education,
and on the very threshold Of fame and
fortune In their chosen profession,
arm themselves, and with murder In
their hearts, rs black and damning as

chance of saving their clients from

yers advised the three young men to
plead guilty to murder in the first de.
gree, and throw themselves on the
mercy Of the court, which, after Sc
riOus elaboration between Judge
and counsel for defense and
prosecution the Judge concluded to
the plea, and the misguided
md unfortunate young men we're at

heinous crime on the gallows will not
