A Jurv of His Peers Savs Ee Did Not Murder Jackson. A Funny Little Incident That Occurred About an Appointment. Fannin, March 17, 1S94. Editor of the Clarion-Ledsrer: Dear Sir: I see in your paper of 14th a piece headed, "A Funny Petition." I send you a letter from Mr. J.

R. Ellis to me explaining the matter. I want you to publish this letter as you have put me in a false position before my Your. respec'fullv, x- Joe McLaup.in. Fannin, March 19, 1SS4.

Mr. Joe' McLau riii Sir I give the following as a statement of the facts as I understand them In regard to your enclosing an account of ycure, to Gov. Stone, instead of a petition, signed by a number of citizeas lor my appointment magistrate in this beat, which petition was handed to you by Dr. Williams for you to sign, and solicit other petitioners, and that you eigned your name and that of your brother, Chas. McLaurin's.

Oathe IV. Williams come to see me, and handed me a sealed letter, stating that it was the petition, and went off and opened ir, and brought it back and showed the contents to me, which wap an account of Mr. Joe Dr. Williams took this account to Gov. Stone and did not tell you of the mistake.

But before the publication in the Clarion-Ledger was received here you discovered your mistake and came immediately to me and toid me about it, and I told you that i knew it, before Dr. Williams went to Jackson. Yerv lieepectfullv, J. Ellh. Fannin, March 17, 1S94.

I notice an article in the Ci-arion-Lkdgek dated 14tb, headed "A Funny Petition," which, I think, in justice tb all parties concerned, I make home correction First, the petition, when handed to Gov. Stone was opt-d. And it was a mistake on the part of Mr. Joe McLaurin in putting in the account for the petition, und not a ke as was supposed. D.

Citi and towns which jr years have been Democratic strongholds were carried by the Republicans. It seems that all over the country the Democrats have laid down, and are making no eflort whatever to hold tho ground they have won. The truth is the masterly inactivity of the Democratic Senate ha3 the Democracy, and so disgusted are the rank and file with the treacherous course of certain prominent Senators that they are apparently indifferent as to 'the fate of their party. The New York Herald told the truth when it said that if a general lection were to be held now the Democratic party would be swept from power by the greatest tidal wave of popular indignation this country has witnessed in thirty years. It is useless to say that the financial depression is the cause of the Democratic reverses in the rei ent elections.

The truth is that the men to whom leadership has been entrusted are ruining the party in order to protect their individual Interests. New Orleans States, NO RAIN FOR TWO YEARS. Texas a Good For People to Keep Away From. The following is an extract from a private letter, written by Judge John West, of Taralla county, Texas, dated March 13, 1S94: "We have not had a good rain here in two years. The prospecte are gloomy.

I don't know wh at we will do if it don't rain. Oae thing is certain, every cow and horse in this whole county will die this summer if it don't rain eoou. They are dying rapidly now. Around some of the watering places sixty to eighty dead cows can be counted. "I don't know how many people here live.

I have been talking, studying and trying to practice economy ail my life. It took me a long time to iearn, btat I have caught on at last. Circumstances sometimes proves a forceful teacher." THE HERO FARMER. TO OUR MISSISSIPPI FARMERS. You vaunt the heroes fataed of old, You boast the generals brave, Of poets true and financiers, Of statesmen great you rave.

By the Double Life cf Conaresfman BreckiBrldg-e A Relative Talks. Ever' man and woman in Kentucky who can read a newspaper is following the details of the Pcllard-Breckinridge trial at Washington. Breckinridge was an idol of the people, not only on account of being a famous member ot an old and famous family, but because his first wife was a granddaughter of the immortal Henry Clay. The people have condoned, his shortcomings, have elevated him ro plates of tuist, and finally elee'ed to the teat in Congres for eo many years honorably occip'ed by Henry Clay.

No wonder the people take it eo hard when their idol is being thrown from its pedestal by the terrible of the witnesses in Judge Bradley's court. Public opinion throughout the State is decidedly against Breckinridge, and the State press is almost unanimously gainst him. Some of the editors have even gone sj far as to say that the people of the grand old Ashland district should forever hang their heads in shame if they return Breckinridge to Congress. It is really pitiable to hear mon talk about the downfall ot this gifted statesman. Said a kinsman and warm friend of Breckinridge tonight: ''This trial is proving as sad a blow to Col.

Breckinridge's oMi frionds as it is to him. As for myself it fills me with sorrow and shame. A man ot national reputation, whose magic voice has wrung admiration and applause from Puritanical Boston, Quaker Philadelphia and effervescent Chicago alike; who was regarded as one of -the brightest lights Kentucky ever produced, and whose future promised eo much, to be proven in a court of justice a hi ted sepu'ehre, is more than I can bear without feeling that not only Breckinridge but Kentucky has been disgraced." A THOUGHTFUL SUBSCRIBED lie Makes a Good Sulfation About Tax Rseeipte. Edwaed', Marcb 18, 1894. Evil tor of the Clarion-Ledger: I received a notice some time since, but neglected to answer.

Enclosed you will find postofBce order for two dollars to pay balancejdue and one yeai's subscription your highly appreciated paper. I fully endorse your views poii i- call' and think it a valuable paper generally. I thought of a law since the Legislature adjourned I think would ir crease the public term of our schools, ani that is to require each patron to show tax receipt, before sending. Under the new law a great many people, both white and black, refuse to pay the tax, as there is no law as before to compel them. I know of a great many who have cot paid.

I am an advocate of good schools and the only way to have them is for trie people to be mad interested by htlping to pyy their share. I hope the subscription to your paper may double this year. I am truly yours, C. K. Farr.

THAT SECRET WEDDING. Said to Have Been Arranged to Defeat M. ssi Pollard. If therein any truth in the reports that force and pistols were used on the part of the Scott familj' in the early wedding of Mrs. Wing and Col.

Breckinridge it is not known in Louisville, says a telegram from that city. There are some friends of both families in Louisville who believe the secret marriage wres had for fear of violence on the part of Miss Pollard should the facts have become known. These friends gave it as their belief, but could not say so authoritatively, that Col. Breckinridge had ext lained hit previous relations with Miss Pollard to Mrs. Wing and Dr.

Scott, and they, desiring to aid him in defeating what had been represented to them ai an adventuress, arranged the secret wedding. It was the intention, sa these friends, to have a public and fashionable wedding later, but Miss Pollard, by some means, got a hint of the relations existing, and as soon as Col. Breckinridge heard this the public edding was hastily arranged. Tht it was hastily arranged few will deny. BRECKINRIDGE HAD NO WIFE.

So He Said in Uashviil, After He Had Married Mrs. "Winsr. Hon. C. P.

Breckinridge delivered a lecture at the Gospel Tabernacle in Nashville on the night ot the 34 of June last, for the benefit of a local charitable organization, known as the Fiower'Mis-sion. He had been to Lebanon, where he delivered an address to the graduating class of Cumberland University, and gave the lecture here without any personal remuneration. At the conclusion oi his address, Col. Breckinridge was presented with a very large and beautiful basket of flowers. In return for this compliment he made a highly ornate and touching speech, taking occasion to say in a manner most sathbtic that he had no wife to hom le could give them.

This circumstance jas been vividly recalled by the revelation that Col. Breckinridge was secretly married to Mrs. Wing on April 29, 1S93, more than a month prior to the date of this unnecessary declaration. The Maine branch of th W. C.

What vast advantage has an editor to learn the different phases of human nature from the material constantly supplied him, and yet like the attitude of a physician all things must be sacred. He may speculate to his heart's content upon this writer's capacity, or that oue3 lack of it, but honor keeps him silent The first manuscript examined was a pom emuled "Looking Up." As the divine atilitus doesn't mingle with the prosaic current of my veins, I was perhaps too harab a critic for after reading "Liokmg Up," I concluded that the 3'ourg man had become blinded by eomethirg falling in his eyes and the beauties eought were never founi.

"Here's a counter-part," said my companion laughing as she handed nie a huge roll. The young author wanted fame at once would do anything become the ednor'a substitute in the next war, if he wonla revise the enclosed poem anil make it sound great and sublime. "Father laughs at me," he wrote, forgetting that I once saw in an oHl album of of his odes, and rather think he owed hia rival critic for an added line: "Oh how lovely everything In spring, Eartn weurs a carpet green, and like a wall Stand the green trees, wbil! a-ound critic's aimmtiox. You're the greenest thing of al'. A married lady sent an effort atbiank verse descriptive of a walk through pleasant fields and woods.

"I wrote blank veree because it has eo much more dignity and grandeur about it than rhyme," she said in her note ot explanation, "and dear Mr. Editor, if you put my piece in that awf j1 waste basket, I shall feel just as if you had thrown one of my children down ai abyss."

The writer informed that lady that eh a was writing a book of such exquisite tenderness, euch rapurous idealuiej, euch sensational characters that she knew it would galvanize ihe literary world, and send a chill of terror through its aspirants to fame.

That brieht star of the North, Mrs. Wilcox, replied that ehe thought the young lady should rather wait to fall heir to a comfortable fortune, tbr.n expect to gain it from a work that seemed prompted as much or more by the desire of sensation, not wrought by the fire of genius which burns away the dross of public opinion, and thought of self, while it leaves a gleaming star! Well, there were all kinds of manuscripts, pathetic, ridiculous, serious, and lots too sober and far removed from my orbit of comprehension, but all together, I enjoyea the day's work that the editor does the three hundred and sixty-five roust be lett to him. It may ba wicked to eay I enjoyed the revelations of other's secret thoughts but I di-i, forgetting for tha moment that we work our own retribution, that Nemesis, like death, never fails to concedes pecially to those who drop the offspring of the brain into the abyes of the waste-basket I was paid for my day's work, and for-get it.

The giant of the map family is now in course of preparation and construction at Washington, 1). C. It was begun over 12 years ago under the supervision of the United States Geological Suryey Corps, and it will not be more than half completed at the end of the present century. Some idea of tho gigantic plans upon which this map is being constructed and the magnitude of such an undertaking may be formed by cont-id ering the fact that the portion which delineates the little State of Connecticut and the Northern tip of Long Island is 'i feet in length and nearly 5 feet wide. When this wonderful map is finished it will indicate the exact location of every brook, creek, river, hillock, mountain, valley, farm, village, schoolhouse and city in the land, and will ehaw every public and private road and highway as perfectly as the surveyor's map gives ihem in the townships.

When completed this map will cover alrsost an acre in superneial area. This being the case, it cannot be either hung up or spread out, and in order to make the information it contains available it will be issued on the sectional plan.

He Has Ten Days in Which to Consider the Bill, Will (live It Careful Thought Before Disposing of It. Washington, March 20. The Bland silver seigniorage bill was presented to President Cleveland yesterday evening by his private secretary, Mr. Thurber, who received it from the chairman of the committee on Enrolled Bills at 2:30 o'c'ock.

Up to this hour the President has not indicated whether he would sign or veto the measure, but friends of the bill are expecting, in view of the large Democratic vote in both Houses, that he will either sign it or allow it to become a law without his signature. The Constitutional limitation of ten days begins today. Representatives from leading banking houses of the Ea3t are urging the President to veto the bill, holding that his approval will further disturb financial transactions and retard' business prosperity, while Senators and Representatives from the South and Wtsfc are as earnest in beseeching the President to sign the bill, holding that the party is pledged to silver coinage, and that the approval of the Biand bill will tend to restore harmony in the Democratic ranks, which was so seriously disturbed by the repfal of the purchasing clause of the Sherman act. As the President has ten daye to sign or veto the bill it is safe to say that he will give it the most careful consideration, and will not act until thoroughly saaGed as to the effects of an approval or veto. BISHOP GALLOWaYIN GEORGIA A Report of His Sermon Delivered at Columbus, Ga.

Speaking of Bishop Galloway's visit to Columbus, the Ei.quirer-Sun, of that place, says Bishop Galloway preached at St. Paul church to a splendid audience last night. The church was filled to its capacity, and rarely has a sermon been more cordially received or more highly endorsed. The sermon was clear, strong, pathetic and in it were touches of a masterful hand. Bibhop Galloway ia a gentleman of commanding appearance, tall, symmetrical in form, and he unites in his manner as a epeaker, an unusual ease and naturalness of manner with the moat attractive grace.

His manner as a speaker is most admirably adaoted to the strong thoughts and the rythmic rhetoric of his style. "Biehop Galloway announced as a text these passages of scripture: "Without me, ye can do nothing, and I can do all things through Christ that strengthened me." "The first passage," said the Bishop, "is from the lips of Jesm Christ; the other from his ereaust apostle. The one asserts a fact; the other affirms a truth. Jesus Christ did not say without my church without a creed without my doctrine ye can do notuing, but without Me. "Dependence is the basic principle in all religion.

Our hand reaches out 'or a stronger dependence, not upon a fact, but upon a person. We can only worship personality yield ourselves to it, reveals himstlf, not only as powerful omnipotence, but back of the power is the. heart of God. We come to the central truth of worship, ii the fatherhood God. Every incident in the life of Jesus Christ as it appears in the scriptures, shows that he touches us at every point he becomes our brother to help our friend to weep with us our God to defend and guide us.

It is the business of the Christian to reconcile in a conscious experience the seeming dife ference of the passages announced as a text." No synopsis of the sermon, however, tould do it justice or express, even approximately, the impression on the attentive audience. The sermon, in every aspect, stamps Bishop Galloway among the foremost ministers of his caurch. THE BRAZILIAN WAR. Surrender of Da Gama Virtually Puts an End to Hostilities. It was on the night of September 5, 1893, that Admiral Mello and his followers took possession of the Brazilian fleet and began the rebellion which received what was probably its deathblow on Tuesday.

Admiral Mello is still alive and is still kicking, but he is not in a position to do much harm. His two boats combined with those of Da Gama would make quite a formidable showing, but they could not accomplish much atone against the enlarged navy of the government. His only strength now is in the rebel States of the South which have developed secession proclivities. What they will do depends largely upon the policy of the newly-elected President, Senor de Moraee. The election appears to have been the principal cause of the sudden collapse of the rebels.

It did away with their grievance, which was a personal one against Peixoto, who they declared, was determined to succeed himself and become a dictator. Now that he is ready to step down and out and that bi3 successor has been chosen there is really nothing" to fight about. Especially is this true because Moraes is a man who ia acceptable to all parties. Mark Twain will build a cottage near Fort Phoenix, on a site recently presented to him. The Second Count Beiii Dismissed He Cainrot be Tried Airain.

The Verdict Having lieeu Anticipated Caused no Surprise. Special to the Clarion-Ledger Kosciusko, March 19. As was foreshadowed in a special to the Clariox-Lkdger Saturday evening, the jury in the case of the State against W. P. Rat-liff, charged with shooting with intent to Kill and murder S.

A. Jacl eon, has returned a verdict of not guiltv. The argument in the case was begun on Saturday evening and was concluded at 11:15 that night, when the jury retired and were locked up. Various rumors reached the streets Sunday about the general belief that a verdict of acquittal had been agreed upon. This hi fief was connrmed early this when the jury sent a messenger to the judge, before he had eaten his breakfast, that they had reached a verdict, and wished to be discharged.

Judge Campbell hpsifly repaired to the court room, had court called, and sent word to the jury that he was ready to receive their verdict. The jury at once came into court and the foreman handed the verdict to the clerk, it being that "We, the jury, find the defendant, IM-liff, not guilty as charged." Thouga quite early, the court room was fillei with spectators, among the number being friends of Jackson, the defendant himself, members of his family and friends. The verdict occasioned little surprise, as the feeling had become very general that the State had not made out its case, and this impression had strengthened sicce Judge Campbell, on Saturday evening, announced from the bench that he would eliminate the first count in the indictment, the one charji-mg the defendant with murder, and that the jury was called upon 6imply to decide the second count, charging the defendant with assault and buttery with intent to kill and murder. Thus closes the RatlifTcase, and the defendant goes out a free man, and can not oe re-arraigned for the killing of Jackson. AVhile Jackson's friends are somewhat cast down, and to eome extent chagrined at the verdict, they are not greatly disappointed, as th State failed to prove that RatlifT had killed Jackson except in self-defense.

After.the rendering of the verdict and the announcement by the court that the defendant was a free man, Ilattitf received the congratulations of his friends, returned hoina to his family, and went about his business as thongh nothing extraordinary had happened. Through all the trial, he has maintained complete self-control and by his every act and gesture has indicated the belief that he would be acquitted. T02I DECELL CONVICTED.
