The Supreme Court sustained the
decision Of the Chancellor, but not on
the grounds that the fine imposed by
the justice OF the peace would have
formed a bar to the conviction and
punishment Of Bourgeois under proper
municipal laws; that decision Of JUS
tice Chalmers declared that it was
competent for the Legislature to del.
egatc to municipality the right to
make acts which were punishable by
the State punishable also by the mu
nicipal authorities when committed
within their corporate limits The
decision of the Chancellor was sus.
tanned On the ground that the charter
of Bay St. Louis did not clearly dele
gate to that municipality the right tt
make violation OF a State law a
criminal act against the municipality
of Bay St. Louis. The decision OF
Justice Chalmers plainly implies that
had the power been expressly granted
in the charter Of that town, Bourgeois
would have been liable To punishment
bDth under the State and the munich
pal laws.
AS Ocean Springs and Bay St. Louis
are neighboring towns, it may be that
the charter OF Que was made to some
extent the model for the draft Of the
charter of the other, aud that the de.
feet pointed out by Justice Chalmers
was feature OF both charters.
The decision Of Judge Wood, If it
were intended to have the far reach
ing effect that the Biloxi Herald gives
it, would practically wipe out the
municipal governments OF many of
the towns and all Of the villages OF
the State. 1t would, too, II sustained
by the supreme court, sooner or later
create friction between the Federal
and State authorities; for the power
OF each government to punish an in
dividual for an offense which, through
a single act, violates both National
and State law, is claimed and exer-
cised now without question. The
principle involved is the same In each
case. A single act may be an Offense
against three separate jurisdictions
National, State aud municipal.

The GlOriOsls Fourth.

1t affords US pleasure to note
that the. glorious "Fourth" was
not permitted to pass without
some commemoration of the grand
event which marks the natal day
of our Republic, by the people
of our town. Not one word was
said about getting up a celebra-
tion until Wednesday morning,
but a few public-spiritsd citizens
at the last moment put their
heads together, and the result
was the assembling of an enthu-
siastic crowd at the Court House
at eight o'clock that evening.
The ladies, as usual by far the
most patriotic of our citizens,
lent their assistance and presence
to the occasion, the feature of the
evening being the music rendered
by the brass band composed of
fifteen beautiful young ladies',
under the direction of Prof. r.
Mayer. The Declaration of In
dependence was listened to with
marked interest, and the addresses
delivered on the occasion served
well to awaken within the breasts
of the audience the memories. o.
our illustrious forefathers who
suffered so long that liberty might
prevail in our beloved country.
Especial enthusiasm was demon
strated at the mention of the
names of jefferson and Bryan,
and that the Declaration that
the platform adopted at the Ma
tional Democratic Convention at
Kansas City this week would de
clare fer Amerieanism and lib
.erty as contra-distinguished from
imperialism and subjugatien. At
the conclusion of the programme
the band played "Dixie,'' and the
audience gave liberal applause not
only because of its being patri-
otic air, but also because it was
excellently rendered. The meet
ing then adjourned, everybody
feeling better for having attended.
and rendering a vote of thanks to
the young ladies, who are en-
titled to most of the credit fer
the success of the affair.

The last news from China says
that not foreigner has escaped
alive in Peklng, and the streets of
that city are filled with the boz
dies of murdered foreigners and
native Christians. Continuous
fighting is reported at Tien Tsin.
The foreign settlement there is
again surrounded and is being
bombarded by the Chinese. One
hundred and forty thousand Chi
nese troops are stationed between
Peking and Tien Tsin opposing
the allied armies. 1t is reported
that Gen. Mich Ii Chang is adj
vancieg for an attack on Tien
Tsin with 0,0O0, 900 troops. The
Chinese are showing great cour-

The scarcity of cotton now is
eery noticeable. By the middle
of August the number of bales
left in the world, it is said, will be
near the zero point. The
new crop will be needed and
needed badly. 1t will be
worth as much, ornearly as much,
as spots are to-day. It should be
marketed slowly and judieiously,
as it no doubt will. Let every
farmer realize that the world is
wholly dependent upon the South
for its supply of cotton, and let
him act accordingly.
