 Mexican Herald; Yesterdays issue of the lmparcial contained an article in reference to the discovery of two pyramids and the ruins of an ancient village in the neighborhood of the city of Teocaltiche, in the state of Aguas- calientes. The article gives an ac- count of how the pyramids, which were badly oyergrown with vegetation were discovered to be pyramids and not natural hills. The same pyramids were discovered several years ago by natives, but no attention was paid to the matter until very recently, when some people versed in archaeology be- came acquainted with the fact that the Indians were procuring a various assortment of antiquities by digging into the sides of the pyramids, and at once proceeded to investigate. Their efforts resulted in the discovery of an ancient village and the two pyra- mlds. Speaking of the discovery last evening the Duke de Loubat said: "The Republic is full of antiquities and has only been partially explored. People have found old trails and tra- versed them for years without ever stopping to look to the right or the left for valuable relics. This has been demonstrated by the results of recent researches by archeologists in the country"

AN OUTRAGE UPON LAW AND
JUSTICE.
Sam Morgan Released from Custody b,
Mitchell County Authorities.

O~AA AOIK6u 6ele09eQ rom CuSLOOy Dy
Mitchell County Authorities.
We made mention Of the fact
last week that Sheriff Nc
Dowell had been notified that
Sam Morgan, the man who
ambushed and shot S. j. Ehr-
lick and John Patton, near
Bridgewater, on the 10Th inst.
had been arrested at Bakers
vile and that Mr.. Charles
Campbell had been sent to
that place to bring Morgan to
Morganton Jail. Mr.. Campbell
returned without his man and
the report that he brings looks
very bad for the Mitchell county
authorities. He says when he
reached Bakersville he found
that the deputy sheriff who
arrested Morgan did not place
him in Jail but took him home
with him; that as soon as it
was known that he { Campbell }
had come for Morgan a leading
Republican Of the place and an
ex-sheriff Of the county went
at once to the only telephone
Office IN the town and, behind
closed doors, after inquiring at
Marion as to Ehrlick's and
Patton's condition and being
Informed that they we're i'm
proving, telephoned the news
of Campbell's presence in
Bakersville to the home of the
deputy, advising that Morgan
get out Of the way, and the
man against whom there is such
a serious change was thus
allowed to make his escape.
We consider this an outrage
against law and justice and
the fair name of the State and
those who assisted in Morgan's
escape could not be called good
citizens and the officer or
officers who permitted it are
not worthy Of the trust imposed
in them.
Sam Morgan is connected
with prominent Republicans
of Mcdowell and Mitchell
counties and it is believed
that politics has something
to do with his concealment.

vided per capita. Provided further,
the provisions of this act shall not APP
ply to any soldier, sailor nor the widow
or servant of any soldier or sailor who
holds any municipal, county, State or
Federal office of which the salaries and
fees pay the amount of three hundred
dollars per annum."
1t will be seen that the benefits of the
pension laws do not follow non-resi-
dents, although they may have enlisted
from Mississippi, and although their
widows may be in INDECENT circum-
stances in other States. But those who
served from other States, and are now
citizens of Mississippi, are benefciaries.
We have always contended that the
benefits should follow the service; or
that there should be an agreement be-
tween the Southern States that Con-
federate soldiers who did faithful serv-
ice should be so provided for that none
would be neglected.
The idea of Confederate soldiers
home has not obtained favor with our
Lawmakers. They prefer the other
mode of relief, and will increase the
appropriation still further if necessary.
At the recent session of the legislature
the sum of $4,000 was appropriated to
the Daughters of the Confederacy OF
Vicksburg toward an annex to the hos
pital in that city ''for the exclusive use
of sick and disabled Confederates. The
ladies have raised the sum of $1,000,
which was the condition of the State
appropriation.
The following shows the number OF
Confederate pensioners, the amount
that each received and the appropria-
ton for the years named:
