"What is to be done with the man
who is mean enough to subscribe for a
paper and take it for a year or more
and refuse to take it out Of the Office
and refuse to pay for it? Such a man
is too mean to live, and yet not ft tC
die, because he would not have any
place to 60 after death. We know he
cannot go to Heaven, and we have
serious doubts if the devil is low down
enough to associate with him.

Henry c. Griffin, who was the Re
publican candidate for Congress ID
this district against Hon. VIM. f.
Love, has fled his application at
Washington for Collector of Customs
Of the Pearl River district. He was
originally a Lynch man, but when
it was given out that Hill and not
Lynch was to control the patronage in
this State he went over to the Hill
faction. Henry evidently wants some
pie very bad, but we are under the
impression that the flop was made too
late to accomplish the desired end.
