Following resolution passed by
the Board of Alderman at its meet
ing on Tuesday evening was sub
jected to some criticism by a few Of
our citizens, as they labored under
the impression that the room space
allotted to the Mayors Office was
insufficient, but we wish to correct
this false impression. It was only
after full discussion of the matter
with the Mayor that the resolution
was passed, and we have also been
informed by Mr.. Miller that the
room is even more than sufficient
for all needs and purposes. The
erection of this building, that will
be an ornament to the town, was
a liberal proposition on the part Of
the Bank, and we see no cause for
complaint by anyone growing out
of the resolution which is as fol-
lows:
On motion of Leon Schwartz,
seconded by Fred Martens, it is
ordered that the lease from this
Board to the Bank of Woodville be
so amended as to give the Bank of
Woodville the lower floor, and that
portion of the upper floor, except a
room not less than 1884 feet, for
the use of the Mayor and Board Of
Aldermen, with free access thereto.
A vote being taken OH said motion,
w. c. Miller voting for said mo-
ton, the same was carried. Alder
men G. ]. Adams and d. c. Bran
lett being Directors Of said Bank,
declined 70 vote on said motion.

The separate car bill has been
passed by the House in the Louis
lana legislature, now in session in
Baton Rouge, and the probabilities
are that it will meet with little or
no obstacles in passing the Senate.
Such a law should be passed by
every state south of Mason and
Dixon's line, as there is nothing
that a southern man detests more
than to see a filthy black negro
push himself beside a decent white
lady ID a street car, as is now so
eften done. The wonder to us is
shat il has been permitted to con-

The remains of the late Dr. Err
nest T. Ferguson, who died at Al
magorda, New Mexico, on Monday
of last week, reached this city over
the New Orleans and Northwestern
railway last evening, and were con-
veyed to the funeral parlors Of Cap
tain Allison H. Foster, OIL Main
street, whence the funeral took
place at II O'Clock this morning,
being largely attended by the rela-
tives of the deceased and his surviv-
ing family. 1t was first announced
that the interment would take place
in Wilkinson county, of which the
deceased was native, but later this
determination was changed, and it
was concluded to have the body in
tered in the Natchez cemetery,
where the family has resided for
several years past.-Natchez Bulle-

DR.. Ferguson, son of Mr.. P. L.
Ferguson, was a former resident of
this county and has many relatives

Massachusetts incubates through
one Albert E. Pillsbury, a bill now
before Congress having for its pur-
pose the suppression of lynching,
by placing all perpetrators, as well
as officers within whose jurisdic-
ton such acts occur, under federal
power. The bill disregards, or pro-
poses to override, all state laws now
upon the statutes with reference to
the punishment ETC., of persons who
take part in lynchings, and the fed
eral power mete out justice and in
aict necessary punishment. This is
from Massachusetts, which should
be ample excuse for such a meas
ure. How the federal laws applied
to lynching could be made more et-
fective i'll the suppression of such
violations of the law, than is now
done by our state laws, we cannot
conceive: and Mr.. Pillsbury, in his
attempt to improve thereon, gives
a fair exhibition Of his ignorance
on the subject, and it is nothing
short of ludicrous to a man of ave-
rage information. As long as the
negro continues to commit crimes
upon pure southern women, just so
long will the brutes be given speedy
justice, despite all laws, federal OF
state, that may be enacted for its
prevention.

ELECTION OF SENATOR'S.

On the 10th inst. in the u. S SEN
ate, Mr.. Depew spoke briefly against
the adoption of the resolution pro-
viding for the election of senators by
popular vote In effect he served
notice on those states which had
limited their suffrage, that if the
resolution was enacted, demand
would be made on them to accord all
their citizens the right to vote, or
suffer loss of representatives in
congress. Mr.. Depew offered an
amendment to the resolution to pro-
vide for the election of senators by
popular vote. The amendment was
as follows:
'The qualification of citizens en-
titled to vote for United States sena-
tors and representatives in congress
shall be uniform in all the states and
congress shall have power to enforce
this article by appropriate legislation
and to provide for the registration of
citizens entitled to vote, the conduct
of such elections and the certificate
Of the result
Mr.. Depew addressed the senate
In support of his amendment
The people of these United States
have long been aware that the senate
is composed of men who while os.
tensibly elected by the people are
really the creations of some class or
corporation and necessarily in full
sympathp with and devoted to the
interests of the influences to which
they owe their positions. And that
this is really the true condition of
our affairs at the present time is be-
yond any question of doubt in the

mind OF any person competent To
think and who does give the matter
proper consideration. Exceptions
to the rule, there may be, and in
some instances men come to the po-
sltion by reason of pronounced abili-
ty and peculiar fitness, but these In
stances are 80 marked as to fully
prove the general rule. This is an
evil that first became noticeable in
the early years of the war. Previous
to that time the position of senator
of the Uni ed States was a synonym
for lofty and unselfsh patriotism,
and differences in opinion were never
attributed - to. mercinary. motives
The names of men like Lewis Cass,
of Michigan; Tom Benton, of Mis-
souri,; Adams, of Massachusetts and
their contemporaries make up roll
of American honor and devotion to
the cause of human liberty, and It's
advancement, and the memories of
such men and times sends the blood
quickened with honest pride through
the veins of every true American.
Compare their methods and motives
with the we'll known political chilean
cry that elects and controls the sena-
tors of today; SO well known that
the only further explanation would
be to be specific in the names of per-
sons and crimes committed and Mr..
Depew, ex-president of the New York
Central Railway, now acting United
States senator, in his resolution has
promulgated a revolutionary senti-
ment of the most Objectionable kind.
He in common with the class he
represents no doubt feel secure in the
apparently impregnable fortress of
wealth that they have erected, and
forget that all structures have a
common foundation, and not even
the mountain is immune from the
overturning force OF the earthquake.

Late reports from Portland state
that the oriental flour business has
fallen away to very small proper
tlons, and the steamship lines be-

consequence. If it continues some

10000 900 quarter sacks, of which
1000, 600 were Oregon and Wash

With this enormous stock hanging
over the market, prices were rapidly
drifting from bad TO worse. and 1t
