CONGRESSMAN VIM. +. LOVE.

We gladly give space to the follow
ing complimentary editorial notice OF
our Congressman, Hon. W. +. Love
taken from the Biloxi Review:
This writer is not given to fuls0me
compliments or sycOphantic praise
We bow to no greatness, save merit,
but we do delight to honor a faithful
official. 1t is well known that the
gentleman whose name heads this arti.
Gle did not receive a very hearty re.
ception along this coast country.
Comparatively stranger to our citi.
zens, and hailing from the hills, there
were many who looked upon him as a
likely enemy to the coast. Determined
to know nothing but right, and with a
conscience void of offense, Mr.. Love,
by an earnest devotion to duty, has
rapidly forged to the front In the
esteem and confidence of his constitu-
ents. There has been nothing of a
show or pyrotechnical display in his
record, but lending his energies first
to ascertain the needs and desires OF
his district, he has been unceasing in
his efforts to serve and advance its
interests. No Congressman from this
or any other district has ever shown
greater desire to promote the good Of
his constituents; none have been more
faithful to duty or more kind and
obljging in the demands and calls that
shower upon one in this position.
Kind in his disposition, assiduous in
his attention to duties, quick to act.
but conservative in his views of public
questions, Mr.. Love is not only win.
ming laurels and praise from his
"home" but is taking high rank with
the nation as an able Congressman
and true man. And one who has
watched and noted his career since
assuming the, to him, new duties and
responsibilities of Congressman, this
writer desires TO attest the unninch-
ing loyalty Of this gentleman to the
responsible duties that have been
committed to him. And when the
people come To pass upon his steward.
ship the verdict will read, well done,
good and faithful servant of the peo.

The last from Washington is to the
effect that the Hill and Lynch factions
have got together, and the following
is the result so far as Mississippi is
concerned:
The Hill and Lynch politicians have
come to an agreement according to
which the Lynch men will have the
distribution OF patronage in the three
congressional districts, the delegates
from which were seated in the st.
Louis convention. These are the I'd,
9Th and 9th. About the only patron
age covered by the agreement is the
postmasters. The following have been
named as referees in these districts:
For the I'd, j. M. Buchanan, of Holly
Springs; NJ. A. Montgomery, of Ok.
ford, and r. A. Simmons; for the 5th,
&. A. Simpson, OF Pass Christian, and
+. w. Collins, of Summit.

COUNTY AND DISTRICT OFFICERS.

Port Gibson Reveille.
p. X. Mayers, of the DEMOCRAT
STAR. who was recently awarded the
contract Of furnishing stationery to
the county aud district oflicerSr Of
Jackson county, printed some blanks
for a Justice OF the peace. He pre-
sentcd his bin To the board OF SUPER
visors. but the board refused TO allow
il, claiming that the word district
applied To congressional districts.
Judge ChidSey, however, decided
that the Legislature had no right 60
give the board OF supervisors authori-
" to make contracts which effected
other counties beside their own, con.
sequently he ordered the bill paid.
II this decision holds, which will
undoubtedly be the case, every justice
OF the peace and constable in the State
can have their stationery furnished by
the county.
The boards Of supervisors Of Wash
ington, Harrison, Claiborne and other
counties Of the State construe the law
as we do, and have not hesitated to
pay the county printer for all blanks
and other stationery used by justices
al the peace and constablcs in their
official capacity. The law under con-
sidcration is so plain that we fail to
see how a wayfaring man, though a
fool, could err therein, much less an
intelligent body Of men like the board
Of supervisors Of Jackson county, but
we presume the circuit court will set.

The Meridian Herald charges the
grand jury Of Lauderdale county with
bribery and corruption of the most
villainous kind. They have been seen
to patronize blind tigers and have
failed to indict these violatOrs of the

with their misdecds. The Herald
says it has proof of what it charges.

Our private opinion publicly ex-
pressed is, that If few petit juries
in some States were hanged by mobs
there would be more criminals pay
the penalty of their crimes. Variety
is the spice of life, and instead of
summary punishment to the malfac-
tors let's give the juries a taste of
mob violence for performance of
u sworn duty. Perhaps, this remedy
would not lessen crime, but there
would be more criminals behind the
penitentiary walls and in their graycs.

DOESN'T WANT HIS PICTURE USED
Col. J. l.. Power published Monday a
card to the public, in which he char
acterizcd in vigorous terms the un-
warranted use Of his picture in a
cancer cure" advertisement now ap.
pearing in hundreds Of newspapers.
The Colonel met an old friend at
Osyka last summer who claimed to
have been cured by the use of the
medicine, and lie so informed the
manufacturers, but the advertisement
displayed with the portrait of Hon.
EJ. l. Power, Mississippi's Secretary
of State" creates the impression on
superficial reading that he had been
thus afflicted and cured. A suit fol
damages is possible. Magnolia Ga
zette.
We exceedingly regret that our old
and valued friend denounced the ad.
vertiscment in question as spurious,
as the medicine concern will be com.
PEELED to withdraw from public gaze
the handsome and classic physiogno.
my Of our Secretary of State. Why,
just think OF the great notoriety the
advertisement would have given him,
because it would have been published
In every patent sheet from Dan to
Beersheba. Tired mothers all over
the land would only have to hold the
handsome and benign picture of the
Colonel before the gaze of their fret
ful infants when they would instantly
fall into peaceful slumber. These
things and the vast amount of pat
ronage the patent medicine concern
will loose by the COlonel's denial will,
after maturer reflection cause him, in
the goodness Of his heart, to regret his
hasty action.
