BEAUTIFUL MISSISSIPPI.

esa beautiful and eloquent tribute
TO Mississippi paid by Rev. w.
NJ. Mcintosh, as follows:
Mississippi How love to be-
hold her as she sits here, reclining
in her queenly beauty, with her
head reposing in the lap of old
Tennessee, her right hand resting
on the rich mineral lands of Ala
bama, her right guiding the great
"Father of Waters in his onward
majestic march to the sea, while
her feet are bathed in the snnny
waters Of the gulf.
How love her climate e-it is
more balmy than the poets loved
Italia, her landscapes more beau
tiful than the hanging gardens of
Babylon; her Delta more fertile
than the bottoms of the Nile,
Yes, every square inch of her
surface is made sacred by the
memory of the great and blood of
the brave. How ! love to climb
her sunny slopes and cross her
shady dales; to travel through
her rich forests of pine and listen
to the evening zephyrs as they
sing their melancholy dirges
through the tree tops; and her

sToCKDALE NOT ALIcENsED LAwYR

In the last gubernatorial cam
paign the Greenwood vardaman
club issued an address making
charges that have proved as true
as Holy Writ. Governor McLau-
rim in speech in Sharkey county
held up his hands in holy1lorror,
rolled his eyes like a dying calf,
and said he could not see why he
should be made the victim of such
unwarranted charges, and pledged
his honor that he had not made
a promise to any one of an APP
pointment if he were elected.
We do not question the Govern
,or's veracity, but it is quite singu-
lar that the very men it was
charged had been promised the
offices were afterward appointed
by him. Our supreme bench has
been the pride of every lawyer in
the state, our supreme court de-
cisions have been quoted in every
state in the Union, and it is a
shame for a man to Re appointed
to a position in that august body
who, it is charged did not even
have his license to practice law

Times will get better in LOUIS
lana, especially in the sugar dis
tricts, when the planters cease
employing foreign labor. The
Italian lives comparatively on
nothing, and his savings are sent

City Review.
The Rayne Tribune replies: The
above is very true. But, there is
one thing more we will add in the
way of an amendment, namely
every town, should if possible
give a chance to its own people
who are fully competent to do
both skilled and unskilled work,
and not send off to other places
for help, when the same can be
gotright at our door. This should
not only be done as a matter of
justice, butpeopIe who are out of
employment spend their money
for livelihood where they live,
and merchants and others should
give them chance before bring
ing strangers to fill their places.

PlE-CUTTEF S FOR SOUTH

eral Patronage Over the En-
tire South.

Washington, March 22.-Politicians
from the South are discussing the con-
ditions now surrounding the distribu-
ton of the Federal patronage in that
section. A movement was started a
short time ago by the chairmen of the
Republican committee of Florida, Lou
isiana and Texas, respectively, to form
IAN organization here in Washington,
covering the entire South and having for
it's object the control of the Federal pat
ronage there. 1t seems, however, to have
met with failure from the start, because
in some of the Southern States there is no
Republican representation in Congress,
and the national committeeman from such
have dictated the patronage in the past
and been held responsible therefor. 1t
is declared that this policy will continue
to be recognized by the administration,
and it is also said that the attempt of
the State chairmen to interere with the
National committeeman will have the
effect of diminishing in a great degree
the influence they might have otherwise
exerted in their respective States.

ONLY ABOUT EIGHT MORE
COMPETITOR PRISONERS TO BE
OUT IN A FEW DAYS.
Cazanas just Set Free, an American
Whose Arrest Lee Denounced
as an Outrage.

Washington, March 22.-Another
American citizen who has been held I'M
der arrest in Cuba, has been released.
He is Francis Cazanas, arrested at
Sagua, February 18th. The arrest was
denounced by Consul General Lee as a
great outrage. whereupon the State De
partment began at once to move in behalf
of the man with the result that he was
set at liberty yesterday. Cazanas resid-
ed on plantation in Santa Clara PROV
ince until last May, when he took up his
abode in Sagua. He owns property in
New York. His case was one of the
number reported to the last session of
Congress, in response to a resolution
From the correspondence it appeared that
Cazanas was registered at the American
Consulate at Havana in October, 1872
as an American citizen. The number of
Americans now under arrest in Cuba
awaiting trial is reduced to eight or ten,
and these include the Competitor prison
ers. The Spanish minister held confer
ence by appointment to-day by Secretary
Sherman, it is understood, with special
reference to the cases of these citizens,
and Secretary Sherman believes that
within few days all of the remaining
prisoners will be released.

New York, March 22.-The Crom-
well line steamer, Creole Captain eager,
from New Orleans, which arrived TODAY.
reports that on the passage a boat belong
ing to the Inflated French steamer. Vile
de st, NaZairt, which foundered in q
storm off Hatteras on Monday, March
s, was picked up with six dead bodies ly-
ing in it. Captain eager said that yester-
day in latitude 3617, longitude 74.30, a
boat was passed filled with water. AT
ter going Il short distance he recollected
the loss Of the st. Nazaire, and think
ing it might belong to her. turned the
steamer and put back. When the steam
er got alongside Of the boat she was found
to have six dead bodies lying in her in a
heap under the seats. The water in her
was up to the gunwale. In hoisting the
boat so as to empty some of the water
out of her the bodies were washed out
of the other end and Immediately sank.
The boat was taken on board the Gre
ole and brought to port.
1t contained some clothing, mostly sea-
mems trousers and jumpers, two women's
shoes of different pattrens, child's sock,
a nipple to a nursing botle,part of a bot
tie of soothing syrup, and some claret
bottles containing fresh water that was
found to be quite good. There was also
quite a quantity of French bread, two
cases Of knives and uniform button of
the French cOmpany's service.
There is some doubt as to one of the
bodies being that of a woman. The man
who went down into the boat says there
was no woman, while some of the excited
passengers who crowded about looking at
the CHASTITY spectacle said there was, and
the mate is ready to swear he saw a wo-
mans body. Capt. eager does not be-
lieve a woman was in the boat. From
the dress and appearance of the bodies,
he thinks they were part of the crew and
that two of them were colored men.
The boat is large one, about 40 feet
long, and pointed at both ends. She has
the appearance of being quite old and is
very much dilapidated, possibly caused
by the buffeting of the waves during the
thirteen days she has been in the water
since the wreck. She is painted white,
and has the No. painted on her and the
monogram of the French company,
Transatlantique She had no oars, mast
or sail when picked up,

zaire, who were brought to this port, are

health. Captain Berri, surgeon Macci
and Engineer Sauts are still confined to
their rooms in the hotel Martin, though
their condition this morning was some
what improved.

PRIrCHARD BETWEEN STOOLS.
Wants Purnell but Afraid of Andrews

Washington, d. c., March 22.-(Spe-
al.)-The judgeship was to have been
settled to-day. The Southern railway,
however, found reasons for postponing
action in that matter. Skinner called ON
the President this morning, accompanied
by Judge Timberlake and Claude Ber-
nard, while Pritchard, who was under

failed to do so. Undoubtedly there is
hen on. 1t looks as if Pritchard will
evade the responsibility of endorsing
anybody, and leave Skinner and Col. An
drews to fight it out, the latter for Price
and the former for Timberlake. If Pritch-
ard really lodges, he will fall between two
stools, for if he loses either Andrews, or
Skinner, he will be undone 1t is said
that in case Andrews fails to secure
the judgeship for Price, he will push
the latter for district attorney, and try
to defeat Holton. Milliken will be mar
