ming to look up, after period of three months Of
unusual quiet We are now making grand prep
arations for the coming season, and it is believed
by all that more brilliant time, gayer throrg,
and larger crowd, have never in the '.piping
times of peace" adorned her annals. The Bowman
House is being reftted in most magnificent
style, and its accomplished proprietor will dis
pense his hospitalities upon such terms as will
suit ALL both as to price and quality. There will
be lovely ladies from all quarters of the State,
and resolution has been adopted by the young
men, as well as the aged, that they shall and
must be accommodated at any and all hazards
and perils. So let them come one and ALL the
beautiful and ugly, the fashionable and homely,
and such greetings as will be extended to them
will make their little frames quiver and their
large hearts palpitate. We can furnish the
''tporId' in husbands on the most approved and
economical principles, and the ''rest Of mankind
with wives who know their rights, and knowing,
ing, dare maintain.


The Legislature will have more "Young Amer
icas" in IT than any previous one.


There will be the handsome, gallant and talent
ed Bob Purdom, of the Eagle, now but little more
than eligible, yet known to the people of the State
for the last FIVE years. He will be the youngest
member the floor, and to say that he will acquit
himself to the satisfaction of his friends is nc
unmeaniug compliment.


Hon. Harvey R. Ware, of Rankin, has been
reelected by large majority He, too, is young
ard talented During tie last session he made
much reputation as agmceful aud elegant debater
as well as fine tactician and parliamentarian.
| have heard his name favorably spoken Of in
connection with the Speakership. He is a fine
type of the progressive party of the present day.


Then there is Maj Willis II. Claiborne, of Han.
cock county, son of the famed and noted Col. J
F. II Claiborne. Young and spirited he combines
tafents of a high order with sagacity and prudence
in au eminent degree. His father is man of the
most marked qualities, and he inherits all in a
wonderful degree. His voice is finely sttuned for
the purposes Of oratory, yeS his modesty may
prevent him from taking an active part in the
debates. Among the ladies he is agreeable and
fascinating, and will doubtless leave Jackson in
high repute with them.


The 'mighty southeast will be proudly repre-
sented by Mr.. Tyrrell, of Covington county, a
graduate ofthe University of Mississippi, and will
leave the record of finished parliamentarian
behind, as a monument of his Legislative prudence
and sagacity He too will desire to induce some
one of the gentler sex to abandon the idea of
living during coming years in ''maiden modesty"


From Holmes county is your old friend Mai
D. W. Sanders with whom you are more flmliar-
ly acquainted than the writer, and can form your
opinion accordingly.


rive cun truly say, from our intimate acquain-
taIce with Maj. Sanders, that he will do credit
to himself and honor to the county he represents
in the Legislature. Gifted in intellect, gallant
and chivalTous IN his personal bsarinE, affahe
and courteous in his manners, he is alike formed
to win esteem for the attributes of his heart and
challenge respect for the attainments of his mind
Although young, still the so1ndness of his views
the discrimination of his judgment and the clear.
ness of ss intellect, will be valuable to the coun-
ellis of the State in flaming the policy of her





proud of the bright galaxy of intellect displayed
among her young legislators, but to none could
che turn with more pride, or look with more
promise to the future, than to Mai David w.
Sanders.-ED. Dem.


Frank Valiant, of Washington county, is an
excellent example ofb high intellectual enlowments,
combined with the softer seductions of noble moral
parts. His voice will he as clarion in the de-
bates of the House of Representatives thrilling,
clear and suBdaing. May the eve of his life be
blessed with the fruits of lofty positions, which
the morn betokens with SO much brilliancy.


Speaking of Joung men, Why did not the city of
Vicksburg send the gallant and talented Ike
Partridge to the Legislature in lieu of that confused
bundle of arstooracy, VIM. A. Lake He would
have brought to the discharge of his duties ability
of high order, affability which would have made
him popular, and would probably have carried
home with bim-a wife, beautiful, fascinating,
intellectual-one who would have extracted from
editorial exersions the pangs with which it pricks
the conscience of a meek bachelor The Coils
politics are to be condemned, but if man of his
stripe is to be their representative, let us have
one who is not the embodiment of octogeparian
