THE DlFFiEEypE-HKjKIMNO OF DrfdjUtfr fHE WOUSD1IV; Some time ago a man named H.,M. Dixon, of Yazoo county, Mississippi, annouoced himself as an independent candidate forh1ji.office of sheriff of his coijSty Mr. Dixon had long been re gatejetiis a leading Democrat in his k&frixiy, and supposed he had some $iWrns ujfon tTTa pally for the position to whichhe aspired 'but,Fat? a conven tion, his claims tyere5 overruled and an other person was nominated. lie then announced his purpose to enter the race as an . independent candidate, and he could only hope to win by arraying the rabble, white and black, against the better elements of the population. These remonstrated, and finally induc ed him to leave the field, a fact which The Observer has rerjeatedlv de nounced. He was afterwards met andl killed in a street difficulty by Jno. H. Barksdale in a personal, quarrel. All the impartial accounts which we have seen of the killing represent that the difficulty between Dixon and Barks dale was entirely personal, and in no way connected with the candidature of Dixon, and that it had no political sig nificance, becatrse both gentlemen were known and acknowledged to be Demo crats ; but forthjkiti th radical .Repubf lican press all over he poultry tookvup the cry and asserted fttaf MxdA fiad been killed by the "buil-dozers," and that no such occurrence could take place in a well-regulated community, arguing that this was another evidence that the South could not be trusted to manage her own internal affairs. The hue and cry went up Tray, Blanche and Sweetheart, Republicans, joined in the chorus. Great indepen dent newspapers, like the JiewYork Herald, fulminated long leaders, filled with venom and spleen against the South, which showed only a diseased or prej udiced mind. But the effect was all the same. Another turn of the thumbscrew was proclaimed to be nec essary, because the South was bom loyal. Now, The Observer dos-vnot at-, tempt to apologize for tha intanlous' policy of driving Dixon from the field, much less for his subsequent killing but because of a difficulty of this sort it contends that the odium or blame should not be cast upon the people of the South, nor, indeed, upon thepeepfe as a class of Yazoo county-Mississippi. Deeds of violence somlumes occur among the best of people, under cir cumstances which no one can control, but we submit that the community ought not to be saddled with the crime, and if this applies to individual and isolated communities, how much" more ought it to obtain where whole sections and States are in question. .AVe repeat here that we do not apologize for vio lation of the law in any case, but argue that its violation is not per se evidence of criminality and violence on the part of the entire community. But we commenced this article to compare the difference between the killing of Dixon by Barksdale to (he late scenes of violence enacted in San Francisco, over the wounding of Kal locU byChas. DeYoung. 'Kalloch was the Workingmen's candidate for mayor of the city of San Francisco, and was opposed by the Chronicle, conducted by Mr. Chas. De Young. The contest grew bitter, and; as is frequently the case, got into personalities. Mr. Kal loch's personal, as well as his public character, was none of the best, and the Chronicle was frank enough to say so. Kalloch retaliated upon the editor by denouncing his family, including his venerable mother, in unmeasured terms, using epithets, ana making as sertions which no gentleman could rest under. Spurred on by his passions, De- Young sought out his calumniator and "'-shot him down in the street. He was arrested arid confined, but a mob 'insti gated by spirit of revenge for the wrongs of their leader, clamored for the blood of DeYoung, and were .only deterred from breaking into the Jail and taking the life-ef a man already in the legal eiutcties, by the officers of the law", AnrV'thS wise eottnsels of Dennis; Rea&ejf.

( Elsewhere we publish a setofirejs$u tions adopted by the board of trustees of the State University on the occasion ol the reception of the letter of resig nation of Dr. Charles Phillips, as pro-, feasor of .mathematical the State Uni versity."

Seeing that, there was no prospect of his beirig able i to resume work at the beginning of the session, the trustees, at a meeting held 1 P two weeks ago, offered to continue the greaterpart of:his jisalarfr fiUfBg bra place with an assistant But fii pljyf sicians ad vised'' total cessation of all feeling of responsibility as the only hope of his recovery. Those who had watched his disease most closely con curred in this opinion: Hence Dr. Phillips sent in his unconditional res ignation which was reluctantly accept ed. Dr. Phillips has been one pf the very foremost men of learning and science and"' mental activity.- He has, won a distinguished place among the great educators. ..All true friends of educa tion will' hope for hi early restoration to the field of active usefulness. The trustees have not yet filled his chair. The mathematical duties will be made the charges of Professors Graves and Grandy, during the coming collegiate yrysdis4ed S.

Capt. Alexander and the Road IiAw.-Cap. Alexander's; rather sharjU card In another column indicates-very clearly his opinion that if an omission is made in on& law it T is proper that there should be omissions imaft suise quent laws.

So far as his undertaking to make us responsible for the law, because a copy of "it ' was sent us before its passage, is concerned, that, we opine, will hardly pass muster. Too much honor is done us. We were not a member of the last Legislature : we are only a newspaper man, and ten to one had we criticised Capt.

During the excitement over the Man hattan Beach discrimination against the Hebrew, Secretary Sherman, ap pointed ,tp aq important offica fn' tire service of the treasury department Judge Noah, a prominent and Influen tial "Ilebrew" citizen of New Ifork It appears that the first work assigned to Noah by the secretary was to take the stump in Ohio for the Republican ticket. The judge was announced to speak in Cincinnati last week. The civil service rules, which are said to forbid persons in the serjfice of the gov ernment from taking an active part in political campaigns, do not seem to ap ply to this case.
