The New Orleans Picayune of
yesterday publishes fac simile
of Coy. McLaurin's communion
ton to the Jackson News, signed
"Spectator, which was published
in the News during the special ses-
sion of the Legislature.
In the joint debate at Macon,
Miss, on May 31st, John Allen
charged Governor McLaurin with
having written the Spectator"
communication. The Governor
then emphaticaIIy denied that he
had written the communication,
and defantly said it could not be
proven or produced.
John Allen'has now furnished
to the Plea yune the original copy
of the "Sectator," letter, and says
he recognizes it as being in Gov
ernor McLaurin's handwriting.
f. L. BelIinger, VINO was editor
Of the News when the Spectator"
communication was printed, turn
isbed to Mr.. Allen the original
COPY with the following certificate:
The foregoing was brought to the
News office by J. j. Conan, private
secretary of Gov. McLaurin, during the
Capitol controversy the called SEES
sion of the Legislature OF 1877 and .ie
stated the Governor renr,sssted its pub
iication in the .,ews. 1 am familiar
with Gov. McLaurins handwriting
and recognized it as being written by
/ him.
John Allen is a brave man, but
he is very careful man, and we
believe he has made no charge
against Governor McLaurin that
he cannot fully substantiate' In
this particular instance ne has
produced the communication which
the Governor defantly SAID at
Macon, could not be produced.
The Governor ("Spectator')
now seems to be like the potato,
belonging to a colored man which
had been badly frostbitten, and OF
which the man said, ''its a specked
tater. Post.

sprung a surprise on the McLaur-
in following by producing the
original Of letter which he had
charged at Macon two weeks ago

but which the Governor fatty de-
MED having written. The letter
was printed in the Jackson Even

editor of that paper, has certified
that the letter was brought to his
Office by Gov. McLaurin's private
secretary, and he recognized the
writing as that of the Governor,
with which he is acquainted The
text of the letter follows:

What . .Wed" Me.n..

Among the Anglo -Saxons the bride
groom gave a pledge or '.wed" at the be.
trothal ceremony. This "wed" included a
ring, which was placed on the maiden's
right hand, where 1t remained until, at
the marriage. 1t was Transferred to the
left. English women at ono time wore the
wedding ring on the thumb, many por-
traits Of ladies' In Queen Elizabeth's q days
being 90 depioted. In the reign of George
III brides usually removed tha ring from
its proper abiding place to the thumb AZ
soon A. the ceremony WAS over. In Spain
the gift of a ring is looked upon as a prom
ise Of marriage and Is considered sufficient
proof for maiden to claim her husband.

Men should be mindful Of the truism
that those who glibly accuse others of
fault frequently bear watching. Be-
cause a citizen or the press fearlessly
stand for the public veal, they become
the target for senseless charges of bood-

happen to have been crossed in their

fense or attack to further their plans.

BRIGHTER NEWS FROM LADYSMITH.
Engagements of Thursday and FRI
day Prove to Have Been Severe
Battles in Which the Beers
Suffered Heavily.

London, Nov. S.-The welcome dis
patches from the front have rent the
veil of gloom enveloping Ladysmith,
showing the British garrison not mere
~ standing on the logged defensive,
but executing series of brilliant sor-
ties. Accounts from different sources
agree that the laconic official descrip-
ton of Thursdays engagement as IAN
effective Smelling of the Boer lager
was unduly modest. 1t appears that
Gen. Sir George Stewart White sent a
strong force of cavalry and infantry to
attack the Beers at Tatham's farm,
about ten miles to the northwest, near
Bester's, and apparently achieved a sur
prise, the Beers being caught on the
open veldt and cut to pieces, and their
camp captured. Encouraged by this
success, Gen. White decided to risk an
even more important engagement on
the following day, which was again
justified by success.
Ladysmith had been isolated, and a
Boer force had intercepted the railway
between Ladysmith and Colenso. This
force on Friday had descended upon
