In local elections we always give
the returns by precincts, but in
this, the presidential election, it is
hardly necessary, particularly as
the vote was so light. There are
5O7 legal votors IN the county, but
only 322 ayaied themselves of the
privilege of voting for presidential
electors. A number of men of
sound money convictions evidently
refrained from voting. Only two
Palmer and Buckner votes were
cast at the Poplaryille box, and we
do not yet know who our partner
is. The following is the total vote
of the COUNT:

Attorney +. Ii. Mounger, who

practice his profession as partner
of Hon. G. w. Ellis, Of Hatiles-

has permanently located. The cits
izens of Poplarville will voice our
sentiments when we express re-
grets that Mr.. Mounger has select,
ed another field of labor, as he had,
during his short residence here,
made many warm aud fast friends.
Mr.. Mounger's only reason for
leaving was, that he desired bet,
ter field for his life's work. Gen.
Thos. S. Ford will shortly leave
Columbia to take up his residence
at some point on the coast, and his
departure Will leave professional

The Baptist protracued meeting
conducted by Rev. j. r. johnson,
of Rankin county, closed Wedness
day morning of last week, and Mr..
johnson and wife and Mr.. Holcomb
left the same evening for Purvis.
The result Of the meeting was very
gratifying to all concerned, and
would have been more so could it
have been possible to extend the
same few days longer. There
were 26 accessions to the church
18 were baptized-9 males and 9
females-2 by letter and 6 yet to be
baptized. During the meeting the
church was crowded from front
door to pulpit, and the pastor in
charge remarked that he had never
seen more earnest attention evinced
nor better order observed.

MARK TuE DISASTER THAT FOL
LOWED.

Tho Dispatch OF yesterday morning.
commenting on Charles Summers great
speech assaiiing the Supreme Court or
the United States. says: ut is singular
how that speech has been miTepresent-
cd. The Supreme Court Of the United
States never rendered any such decision
as that slaves had no rights which their
masters were bound to respect. What
that court said was that tho slaves had
learned 70 believe that they had no rights
which the Supreme Court was bound 10
respect
in the led Scott case. to which the
Dispatch alludes. Judge fancy who de-
livered the opinion OF the court, in fact
made no reference to any opinion or be-
lief Of the slaves as 20 the action Of the
Supreme Court. Of whose very existence
they were ignorant. lie was interested 10
show the public opinion IN relation 10
that unfortunate race which prevailed In
the civilized and enlightened portions OF
the world nj the time OF the Declaration
OF independence and when the Constitu-
ton OF the United States was framed and
adopted" and in this connection he said:
They had for moro than a century been
regarded as beings CT an inferior order
and altogether unfit TO associate with
the white race either IN social or po-
litical relations. and 20 Ear inferior that
they had no rights which the white man
was bound to respect. This opinion was
az that time fixed and universal in the
civilized portion q the white race"
We call attention 10 this mistake be-
cause the paragraph referred TO has been
Intentionally misquoted thousand times
to make It appear as the expression by
a Southern Judge Of his own opinion as
to slavery I'm 49,. Il refers simply and
solely to the opinion and belief OF the
civilized nations OF the world prior to
l776.
The Dispatch further says that Mr..
Summers speech may be said TO have
reversed the decision OF the Supreme
Court Of the United States" and II
might have added that this reversal Of
that great courts decision. brought about
by fanatic appeals TO the passions and
prejudices Of rhe hour. was shortly
thereafter followed by CIVIL WAR.
Was Charles Summers great speech re-
published by the Dispatch as paiiia-
ton or in excuse for the Chicago Convcn-
tons strange uttoranccs with regard &c
a recent decision OF the Supreme Court, or
did It really intend. by calling atteh-
ton so pointedly to Summers speech. 10
make men think Of the influence ii ex-
erted and the effect IL produced and
thus warn them against The possible
consequences Of political interference
with judicial integrity?
