A JACKSON SENSATION.

The open rupture between the
rector and vestrymen of the Epis.
copal church at Jackson, referred
to by our regular correspondent, is
full OF significance as marking the
final downfall of the whisky power
in the Capital City. The editor of
TIE LEADER speaks with the as.
surance of personal knowledge
when he says the Episcopal Church
at Jackson, asrepresented by these
vestrymen and their followers, has
for years been the citadel of the sa.
loon power in that city. 1t furnish,
ed the brains, social influence and
respectabilIty which gave the sa.
loon its chief backing. Those we're
brave words, born of conviction
OF rlght and duty, which inspired
the courageous young rector, now
III charge OF the church, to boldly
tell these vestrymen, one of whom
was for years whisky seller, that
they should either take their names
of the petition asking for an elcc.
tlon to re-estabhsh saloons, or re
sign their office in the church
which they had thus discredited.
On the appeal taken to the con.
gregatlon last Sunday, the rector
was sustained and the vestrymen's
resolutions censuring him repudi,
ated by vote of 40 to 81.
In view of his environment it has
been a long while since we have
witnessed more splendid exhibi.
tion of moral courage by minister
OF any faith, than has been display.
ed by Rector Craig in the trying
ordeal TO which he has been sub.
jected. His course is worthy of all
honor and praise, and marks him
as a man of the real John the Bap.
tist type, who had rather sacrifice
his head than Detray his Lord and
keep silent i'll the presence of Ell.
thrOned iniquity, masquerading un,
der the gCise of Church of Christ.
And the effect of his words and
example can not but haye a most
salutary effect in destroying the
influence of whisky in all the
CHURCHES OF jackson. THE LEAD
ER learns from the Jackson pa,
pers that Mr.. Craig will now re-
call his resignation, call a congre-
gational meeting to elect "A new
yestry in place of the old one re-
signed, and go ahead building up
hls cpulel as heretofore, Just as if
nothing had happened. He is to
be congratulated Oh his wisdom in
this matter, as well as his courage,
and the faithful members of his
church who are standing by him
and the city Of jackson and the
cause OF Christian morality are all
to be congratulated on what he has
accomplished, The atmosphere is
never so pure and wholesome as
after a real thunder storm.

Taking advantage of the absence
of the Governor from the State the
friends of Marshall, Fox and Cole
man, the confessed murdererS of
Dinkins. have made an effort to in
duce Lieut.. GOV. Jones to pardon
these convictS. But they did not
know the man they were dealing
with, else no such propositions
would have been made. Gov. Jones
knows something OF the pardon
business in this State, from y. Is.
Davis down to Bob Lowry. Aud
he doubtless remembers that the
cold -blOOded murderer of his only
son, who was tried, convicted and
GantpnoGd TO nle imprisonment, Just
as Marshall, Fox and Coleman
have been, was pardoned by Gov.
Lowry before he ever dQnned the
stripes, and this TACT, we take it,

granting a pardon to men who
plead guilty when arraigncd. Be

New York, March 23.-The advices from
Livtrpool this morning reported little or no
change in that market and on opening was
also practically unchanged, May selling on
the first call at 7.0S. After the opening there
developed some little disposition ON the Iort
of local traders to sell, and May declined
to 7,05. The trading for the day was eX-
tremely narrow: May opened at los de-
clined to los, rallied to 7.07 and closed at
7.G5@7.0G. The tone of the market being
quiet and steady. Many shrewd operators
here predict that with few days OF good
weather in the south there will be more
disposition to sell the fall months. and that
IN the absence of speculation interest In
the market prices will readily yield to the
pressure OF any considerable Offering The
reports to date however, show that plant
ing preparations are materially delayed ana
should the weather continue unfaVorable
prices might advance slightly.
