The Chicago Times. Herald makes
the definite charge that last week
three United States Senators bought
and sold, through one broker, 5000
shares Of Sugar Trust stock, netting
a profit of $4,000 on the transaction.
If this be true, of which there is but
little doubt, it indicates that Senators
are not at all alarmed over the condi-
ton Of the Chapman case, but feel
assured that they IA play the role Of
thieves without danger Of detection
and exposure.

WILD OVER HIDDEN TREASURE,

Kemper county is again to the front
with another sensation, but this time
it is the minds OF the people, and not
their StomaChS, which causes the con.
tortions. A special from Meridian to
the Commercially Appeal, under date Of
18th inst, describes the situation as
follows:
There is great excitement at Pres
ton, kcmpcr county, Miss, over a
letter received from an old Indian in
the Territory, concerning some hidden
treasure near Preston, in a mound
where there had been a considerable
cave found, something similar to the
Mammoth Cave. 1t has several dc.
partments in it, and it is Of consider
able size, large enough to contain a
little army, with three or four distinct
outlets. This Indians statement is
that there is Il wagon load Of gold and
silver in it, and the surroundings have
been tested with the magnetic needle
and it almost runs wild with attrac-
ton. There are large numbers OF
men working day and night with
shovels and spades, while the woods
are full of men with guns, pistols and
other equipments Of war, and great
fear is entertained, II there should be
anything found, that there will be
serious trouble. There are great
crowds lying around who take no
part, and should there be anything
found they will claim their portion
and those who are doing the work will
be sure to object, and then there will
be trouble. A letter from Preston
says the.whOle population Whereabouts
have lost their heads, and the farmers
for miles around have Abandoned their
crops to join in the search for the
treasure,

Slave Pension Bill.

Clarion-Ledger,
A week or two since the Clarion
Ledger made mention OF the fact that
Rev. Silas Myers, an old Rankin negro
politician, had passed the city or his
way to Washington with a huge petit
tion OF negroes of Mississippi praying
Congress to take up and pass the
ThurStOn ex-slave pension bill. From
the following Washington telegram it
will be seer that Rev. Myers and his
petition have arrived:
''Some slight agitation OF the pro.
position to pension e~x-slaves has been
in progress recently. The advent of
Rev. Silas Myers, of Simpson county,
Miss, who is at Washington with that
object in view, is trying to resurrect
the bill which was introduced in a
previous Congress to pension eX-slaves.
Over 5000 names Of alleged ex-slaves
are attached to a petition which the
cOlOred divine brings with him, and
which he intends Congress shall Shall
see.
1t will be recalled that when Senator
ThurstOn introduced his bill it imme-
dlately afforded INSCRIPTIONS persons
in different parts Of the South a
scheme to eXtort money from the ig-
norant and the crcdulous negroes.
Thousands of dollars in fees were col,
lected from negroes by men who agreed
to prosecute the new pension claims
and secure money for the negroes.
The fees were collected and never
returned. Neither did the agents re.
turn. If Rev. Myers should succeed
in getting his desired measure before
Congress it has been suggested that a
provision should be incorporated for
the reimbursement of the ignorant
who were victimized under the pen
dency Of the former bill. The latter
would as likely to receive COMPRESSION.

THE LEGIsLATUREDI LLYDALLYING

Our State Legislature has been il
extraordinary session something over
a month dillydallying with the queS
tiOn Of building a new State House
The Senate and House are at logger
heads as to the site on which IL is bt
erected. The two branches Of the
Legislature are playing the role OF
children in a very grave aud import
ant matter. One says you must &c
coed 10 our wishes and the other vice
versa. Maybe this is fun for the
legislators, but il is making the tax
payers to groan with multiplied bur.
dens, which they are unable TO bear,
1t costs the people from $1,000 t.
81. 200 every day the Legislature
remains in session They do not seem
to take lnte consideration the impov'
criShed condition Of the State, floods
Of great magnitude making it impos'
Slhle for the farmer upon whom taxa
ton falls the heaviest, to plant and
harvest their usual crops. Nero tid'
died while Rome burned.
We did hope that when the Legis'
lature met its proceedings would be
characterized by economy, lIrmneSs
and patriotism, but we have been de-
ceiyed. and it seems from the speeches
OF some Of the members they are
afraid to act on measures before then
with that hrmness that should char
acterize an honest representative Of
free people. Such men are unfit Il
grasp and act on question OF grea'
concern.
The Senate spent a half day discuss
ing the report Of the conference com
mittee on the Capitol bill, and inall,
refused TO concur by a vote OF q to l9
and in order To- cause delay, it seems
asked for another conference on TIN
bill. This committee is to C0nSide
sites and plans. We may be wrong ii
our Surmises, but we are forced to be
lieye that a large.sizcd bug Serenel
rests under the chip-the penitentia
ry site for the Capitol building. Th
present site is the place for the ne'
building, and we believe if the ques
tiOn was left to the people they wOui
so decide unanimously. If the pcopl
Of Jackson had not meddlcd with tn
members OF the Legislature thes s>iO
would have been shorter and COnslC
cradle money saved to the Stat

All honor to our Senator and Rel
