AS a result of the preliminary trial
of Messrs. F. R. Birdsall and Gibbs
Dorsey, for the killing of 7 A. Kelley
in a street duel at Yazoo City, these
men have been released on a light
bond. From the nsen OF opinion
obtained in Yaaoo City they should
have been acquitted, for the evidence
in the a 81 shows cOnclusiyely that the
wrong men are being prosecuted.
Men should only be prosecuted for
violations of the law in order that the
ends of Justice can be secured, and not
through a spirit of revenge. It seems
that Birdsall and the Dorseys acted
only in self defense in making a stand
against a number of sssailants,
some of them ambushed. They
did only what any brave men would
have done under the circumstances,
and they should be acquitted. They
stood out in the open doing their
shooting, while some of their enemies
shot from ambush.

HEARST FOR PRESIDENT.

With politicians lodging for an open
ing for some old worn out time server
to be honored by the Democratic party
as a Presidential nominee, not one OF
them has the nerve to suggest the pos
sibility of the election of any such a
man when named.
The South occupies a peculiar posi-
ton at this time on the checker board
of the Democratic party. For the first
time, probably in a quarter Of a CEN
fury, it is within the power Of this sec
ton to name the next President of the
United States. And it is the part Of
wisdom to think well before throwing
away such an opportunity. AS sugges-
ted, no man who is advocating the nom
nation of a Parker, a Bryan, a Stone,
a Francis, a German, or any one of a
dozen others who have been prominent
factors in the Democratic party for
years, has the hardihood to claim that

II we are correctly informed, the
first decoration of Confederate graves
was at Columbus, Miss, in 1866. At
teF the Confederate graves were deco
rated the ladies took some flowers and
laid them on the graves Of the Federal
soldiers, who were buried in the same
cemetery, and one Of the most beau
tiiul and touching poems in our lam
guage was inspired by this impressive
seene. In this poem we are told that:
mo more shall the war cry sever,
Or the winding river be red,
Our anger is baniShed forever,
When they laurel the graves OF our dead. "
And these words seem like prophecy
today as we read the account from
Columbus, Ohio, Of the recent deco
ration OF the Confederate graves at
Camp Chase. These graves have been
cared for years by an ex-soldier of the
Union army, and one of the principal
speakers on this occasion was Govern
or Nash, who said that honoring the
soldiers who fought on both sides, for
their brave deeds, was one Of the best
ways to create and foster affection for
the government. Among the floral
offerings placed on the graves Of the
dead heroes, were many fine flowers
from Mississippi.
