utes the Introduction Of the festi-
val of Easter into the church TO
the perpetuation of an old
usage, Just as many other Gus
toms have been established. -
This is doubtless the true state
ment of the case. The first Chris
tians, being derived from, or in
timately connected with, the jew
ish church, naturally continued
to observe the Jewish festivals,
though in new spirit, as COM
memoration of events of which
these has been the shadows. The
Passover, ennobled by the thought
of Christ the true Paschal LIANT,
the first-fruits from the dead,
continued to be celebrated, and
became the Christian Easter.
Thus the human instinct which
everywhere Graves for the COM
memoration of marked epochs in
the personal, social, ecclesiasti-
cal, or national life, found it's
legitimate gratificationin in the pub
lie celebration of the events which
are the foundation of the Chris
tian faith.

sidered a certainty that Hon. j..
c.. Hardy of this city would enter
the race for State Superintendent
of Education against the present
incumbent, Hon. Henry Whit

race during the last campaign
against Mr.. Kincannon, who was
nominated. Last night the Board
of Trustees of the city schools, OF
which Mr.. Hardy is the superin-
tendent, met and raised his SAL
ary, at the same time passing
resolutions requesting him to re-
tain his present position. They
also elected him for three years
in advance. Today the teachers
in the city schools also passed
resolutions asking him TO remain

NEGROES IN AFRICA.

The Greenville Times contains
a number Of plaintive appeals
from colored men who went to
Africa during the craze that swept
oveEthe country a few years ago.
The Times has been furnished
these letters by Mr.. Charley Met
calfe, from whose plantation, in
Washington county, the negroes
went. They are written 10 friends
they left on his place. These APP
peals are enough to touch a heart
of adamant. One OF them refers
to the lost condition of the writer,
and states that if the members Of
the church to which he belongs
have the spirit of God in their
hearts they will heed his humble
cries for money to bring him
home. The Times says that these
letters carry their own morals,
that the best place on earth for
the negro is the Yazoo- Mississip =
pi delta.

ENTERPRIsING NEGROES.

The following news item, which
was sent from jackson to the New
Orleans Times Democrat, shows
that all colored men are not the
slothful, shiftless, dependent peo-
pie that some newspaper writer's

deed, the white people in every
town in the state would do well to
follow the example OF these en-
terprising negroes. Read what

EASTER.


Osyka, Miss, March %, 1889,
Editor Gazette: Would you
kindly, in your Saturday s issue
OF the Gazette, give the origin of
the "Easter Festiyities?D What
people, nation or denomination
gave the name Easter to the
Resurrection Morn? By giving
the above information, you will
greatly oblige
An OLD SUBSCRIBER.
In answer to the above, we
quote the following from the En-
cyclopedia Britannica:
.Easter, the annual festival
observed throughout Christendom
in commemoration of the Resur-
rection of our Lord Jesus Christ.
The word Easter-Anglo- Saxon, !,
Eastre, Eoster; German, Ostern
like the names OF the days OF
the week, is a survival from the
old Teutonic mythology. Accor-
ding TO Bede it is derived from
Eostre, or Ostara, the Anglo
Saxon goddess Of spring, to whom
the fourth month, answering to
our April--thence called Eostur-
monath-was dedicated. This
month, Bede informs us, was the
same as the 'Mensis Paschalis,
when the old festival was OBJ
served with the gladness of new
solemnity.'
"There is no trace Of the cele-
bration Of Easter as a Christian
| festival in the New Testament ol
in the writings of the apostolic
fathers. The sanctity of specia
times or places was an idea quite
alien from the early Christian
mind; too profoundly absorbed ir
the events themselves to think o.
/ their external accidents. 'The
whole of time is a festival unto
Christians because of the excel.
llency of the good things which
have been given, writes Chrysos'
| tom, commenting on the passag'
III. Cor. v. z. which has been err
roneously supposed to refer to ar
! apostolic observance Of Easter
j Origen also in the same spiri
urges that the Christian whc
j dwells on the truths of Christ al
our Passover and the gift of th'
Holy Ghost, is every day keeping
the Easter and Pentecostal feast
| The ecclesiastical historian, Soc
rates, states with perfect trutl
that neither Christ nor his apos
ties enjoined the keeping of thi
or any other festival. The apos
! ties, he writes, had no though
of appointing festival days, bu
!; Of promoting life OF blameless

TEN in this state, that it was the
offspring Of ,oarpetbagism. Ad-
mltted, and at the same time we
are bound TO admit that an elec-
tive judiciary when the constitu-
ton was framed, would have fill
ed every judicial office in the
state, from chief justice down to
justice of the peace, with carpet
baggers, negroes and any other
sort Of material the carpetbag-
gers and negroes wanted. The
negroes and carpetbaggers held
almost absolute control Of every
thing in this state, and the form
er were. at that time, wholly un-
educated and in the very lowest
depths of ignorance. Both ad-
missions must go together, for
they cannot be separated, and
thus another admission is dedue-
ed, il not absolutely forced, and
il is this: the provision then made
for judiciary was the very best
that could have been made. To
argue in favor Of an elective iu-
dietary because the constitution
making the judiciary appointive
was the work of carpetbagcers is
the weakest and poorest argu-
ment that could have been made,
and we are, and were, surprised
that SO able man as Hon. IL.
r. Noel should have offered IL.
But for arguments sake, sup
pose we admit there is something
in this objection [alhough there
is nothing whatever), we have
lived where there was an ap-
pointiye judiciary more than half
q century before carpetbagism
was born. We we've born and
reared in North Carolina, whose
entire Judiciary were appointed
by the governor and for life or
good behavior, and We challenge
the opponents Of that system to
name lany state whose judiciary
stood higher than that OF North
Carolina. For thirty-four years
(except three that we lived at
Grenada, Miss. in our boyhood)
We lived under the appointive
system and about five or six un-
der the elective. The first chal-
lenged four admiration and re-
ceived our hearty endorsement.
The last we never did, and never
could, admire nor endorse. We
have known and seen, under that
system, what we would not care,
or be willing. to relate. and we
were so much disgusted with it.,
by comparison with the first, that
we could net, would not, cannot
and will not vote for a return 10
the system Of electing Judges by
q popular vote. The truth Of the
business is, there Is too much
politics already for the good of
the country, and the older we be-
come the more we become .sick
and tired" OF politics. We are q

but, the judiciary ID one branch
Of government that we conscien-
tionsly think should be kept out
Of. and above politics, and, ID
do this would be an utter impos-
sibility il judges are TO be elected
by the people. Parties woulc
nominate and parties would elect
and influential politicians would
make themselves "soli9" with
the incoming Judge, by working
for his election. This he coulc
not forget, and after all, men arc
human and only human, ant
gratitude, though rare, is human
virtue.
For the present we will let th,
matter rest. --Sardis Southern
