It is known to atl maukitid that fcr a long while the fate of Mississippi has trembled iii the balance vhi!o it has still undetermined whether' Ames cr Alcorn should b. the next Governor, with the right of " promotion subse quently to the United Stales Senate. ' Mr. Auies'njot the regular uomination by the Republican. Convention iu . August, aud Gov. Alcoru thereupon, r '. declared himself siudled, baccfai an ? , 'independent candidate and drew ofT v4th him a considerable party of se cders. The Democrats joined him ttnd in their CouTentiou at Meridian, !.ou tho 17th of September, resolved that in the approaching election it was 'inexpedient to nouiinato a State ticket. The qampaigu has been a hot cue, and the November eleotiou prum .ised to L)e highly interesting init how Gov. Powers has issue a piuclauiatian declaring that there shall be no election this year at all. He bases thia order on an opinion of th"b Attorney Geperal that the election Jaw is uuoou Btitntioual, and that the persons now in office must hold over until the Leg--islature can pass a new law for ; an f e!cction iu 18J4. The ground for this opinion is very carious. The Consti : tution providts that tho general, tltc Vtions shall be hold bieuuiaHy., The Legislature of 1871 therefore provided for u election is November of that year "and biennially, thereafter' 'at which State and county officers were to bo chosen; bat by the same law the . election for members of Congress was v "appointed to be held in 1S72 ""bieiini- 'ully thereafter." That, argues tho Attorney Ge.neral, makes tho generul election como around annually The law is consequently invalid, and nothing can-be done until wo hav6 a new one. Meanwhile the present of ficers hold over. The 'difficulty' about this is "that if the law. is unconatitutioua! now it was " unconstitutiorjal two years ago, and 1 tho chction of 1S71 "was invalid.

A humane and acceptable law was passed at tho last session of Congress and went into effect October j 1st. It seeks to put a stop to the cruel practice of carrying cattle long distances and detaining them on 'roads for days, shut up in closely packed cars or boats, without food, wter or rest. Tho law provides that when cattle, sho?p, swine or other an imals are carried from one Stato to another in vessels, boats or cars, where they cannot and do not have proper food, space and opportunity for rest, they shall not be kept in con finement for a longer period than 28 hours, including all stoppages and transfers from road to road, at the end of which time they shall bo released Grant's Oupian Colt.

One of the lateet rumors from Spain is to tho effect that tho Cortes, on reassembling, will proceed to the election of a President of, the, Uepublic. Castelar and Salmeron are, for the moment, it is said, the promi nent condidatcs. Would it not be hotter for the, Spaniards to go on as they aro, leaving t.ho power, in the hands of Castelar, who really is doing well, until the country is in some souse composed and tho people united? Castelar has como to tho front as the prominent man. In Castelar the re publican hope is centred. . But, now that Castelar has found, his opportu nity, Spain must heeds raise a new difficulty as to; tho Presidency of tho Republic.

One has been produced pledg ing his support to Hughes, tho repub lican candidate, for Governor of Vir- ginia, ana amaavic nas oeen maae oi another pledging his support to Rem? per, tho Democratic ; candidate. Of course the venerable ex Governor can explain this thing; but to think of a man at his time of lifo trying to ride two horses for Governor ! We are dis tressed by the redicalous spccaclo. The JFeics and Courier charges that the Radicals carried the election in CtSaTfTestoar Wednesday-by means of a vilely partisan law and the artful manipulation of the ooromiesioners. The Houston -Galveston disputo over tho two thousand dollar bribe jasked to remove the qurantine against jtho yellow, fever ot Galveston, has taken the avalanche of cards to the Idaily papers. First; wo have a re port from an investigating committee, which was unsatisfactory. JThen wo have the statiment of one William Campbell,-who made tho proposition in the name, aS he avers, of a Hous ton Aldorman, to havo the embargo removed for two thousand dollars! He refused to give the name T of his principle. Then comes a card of ;Mayor Hcrtley, of Galveston, stating that the bribe was asked of a com mittee jof which he vya8 ono. Then jwo have, most important of all, tho card of the Houston Alderman, assert ing individually, that the statement of Campbell is untrue, mnd that "any jman making or circulating that said assertion, is a liar and a scoundrel." Among the signers is Henry Hen dricks This brought Campbcl'. He says, in reply, "I regret deeply tho necessity which compels mo to name the person asking the bribe. , It was Alderman Henry Hendricks." Boys! who disturb camp-meetings by crying ("Amen' in the wrong placo, and remarking "Glory" with more zeal than judgomCnt, should read and ponderj the fato of thirteen small boys iu Kansas. These thirteen ill advised boyis. were guilty, so goes the story, of disturbing a Kansas camp meeting by insisting on shouting "Amen," when a very muscular preacher, who prided himself on" his voice, was sing ings hymn. The preacher bore, it for some time, but final y, becoming fillexl with righteous wrath, ho de scended from the pulpit, and, never once iritterrupting his hymn, succes sively reversed and spanked the thir teeij small boys. As his avenging hand descended and the small boys filled tho air, the rest of tho congre gation shouted in rapture and en couraged him with loud cries of "Go on, brother, goon' Then he rotuned to thepulpit, still singing, and those boys went half a mile away behind a hay stack and laid down with their faces to tho ground, weeping bitterly. A baggage agent on a" Georgia rail road died recently in Atlanta. The attaches of tho road made provision for his burial expenses, furnishing among other things a suit of black broadcloth in which to dress, the corpse! His wifo objected to having those fine clothes buried in tho ground, and brought out some of her husband's old apparel, in which he was buried. The next Sunday the bereaved wife's orqthcr wore the clothes furnished by the dead man's companions to church. . - A social glass to. which tHe ladies are addicted -The looking-glafes. . it ira or C C3, L V' -' l; ' '..; r i , ' , mmm '."-', ' . '' ( Dinyib, Col., Sept. 2& Mr. Thomas K. Crce, Sccrotary of Ida Pn1 "I r rt Mswati v xuuiau vommissiOQers, arrived hero to day. He brings with him a copy of the Bra not Ute Treaty, signed ty the- Indians. In company with six Indian Chiefs, Mr. Cree spent a week expioriog the Brunot parchas. es. They vuiUd tbe San Jain min ing region and reports immensely neb in gold, silver, copper, lead, iron and coal. Five hundred i valuable leads have located, and one mine, the only one fally tested, is yielding, with poor machinery L000 Jn rll tibr sold, witlioat legal title, to a Chicago ...... j v, Tuu,wvu, anu, since vne treaty is valued ut Sl.000.000. Im proved machinery is now en routo lor tho mines. mine with belter indi cations on the same lead is beinir nc sunicu ir ui. $uu,ouu. i ue ore from this lead yields from 42 000 to $5,000 per ton. Another lead unde veloped yields $8,000 per ion. The country is very rich in silver, one lead being very rich, a vein air feet thick having been found. Thero are immense veins of copper cropping out on me euriace. none oi which Are ta ken up. Iron and coal lie in close proximity, the lattor being of superior quaiuy lor smelting purposes. Fifty town lots were located on the news being received' that the treaty was signed. The country is immensely ncn, ana, with capital to develope it; is good for $100,000,000 worth of Dro- cious metal. Mr. Cree and party spent Boveu aays in ine saaate, crossing thre main specimen ranges of tbe Un co mpagh re and San Juan Mountains, crossing at altitudes ol from 12,500 to 13,000 feet in the open air, riding thrpugh rain and snow-over . steep trails and through' fallen timber, swamps and rocks. Thoy report the country as being the grandest in the world for mountain sconery. At one point they saw about 100 peaks, from 14,000 to 16,00 feet high. The mining region is surrounded by as good a chain of mountains as there are in tbe country. The country acquired con tains abont 400,000 acres of the most valuablo mineral land. The proceed ings were in the shape of an article of agreement, gndlo not come nnder the iieador a treaty which la forbidden by law. noT7.tbe:TImes Views the Situation A very fair prospect open i before the business community this morning, which prudence and forbearance will undoubtedly make better. The most serious difficulty growing out of the finaucial troubles of the week, that in the movement of the crops of the South aud West, is already partially got over, and appears likely to be come steadily less. Foreign exchanges are decidedly and probably per ma nently better. Advices from tbe West show that confidence which was tern porarily impaired is returning, and that affairs there are resuming their usual course. The Chicago banks which were in trouble promise to re some in part to-day, and the remaind er in a very short time. The banks here are again extending their aid cautiously, but with considerable lib erality. The dealings iu commercial paper begin again to assume their legitimate proportions, and; thero is reason to hope that with energy and mutual good-will in business circles, the conntry may now g6t through its troubles without further serious em barrassment. If it cau do this, the "panic" may. in its lesson of prndenco, prove a substantial blessing,, although for a week past it has been a blessing emphatically "in disguise." There have been practiced various effectual modes of dispersing a crowd. Napoleon believed in "a little more 1. t .n 1 a iui uiBb nus in ru voinLiotiarv rbulent Paris.

In New York, daring, the panic, it became necessary to open in some manner the blocked; streets notably in front of the Stock Ex change.. So the police cleared the sidewalk. The indomitable brokers assembled in the street. , The police were equal to the emergonoy. They collected a lot of tracks , and heavy vehicles, and had them np and driven down.

It happened on the brightest- and most delicionaly cool day of the - week, when the atmos phere,, and the skies themselves teemed attuned to tho event which wat celebrated. Eight married ga tlemen of eminently epicurean taste came together and set their minds opon having ft dinner, '-. There w era four Enghsmen and lour Americans, all of whom had tatted' the etlll cooks the world over.

Thoy learned to their Just indica tion that their husbands were prepar ing for ft grand foast for their sole ed ification, and that eight pistes only were to be bad at their table. With out waiting for,an explanation, they de8patcheda messenger to TefVt and duplicated their husbands' order, to be served in a separate dining-room. Tho bills of faro were Indontlcal, with the exception of cigars, and the ttrict est silence was enjoined. Not even a hint of a whisper wat to past belwsou the husbands and the landlord. The. hour appointed for tho two din, ners came, and tho husbands sat down to their dinnsr and the wives to theirs. The tables bore the results of Tail's unrivalled taste and skill, and nothing was oraittoa' to make it 'complete In every aeiar. Fish, blrdsJ and aU yielded their de licious mbijthfuls, while the thinieg plate and excellent service wat , tick ling to every sense. " Not a! word passed between the spio-and-span dining rooms.

Dinner over the wires ordered their bill added, to that or their an. suspecting husbands, and so the raso was discovered, mere is a prty moral to all this. Taft thinks, and perhaps one hasn't far to soaroh for it, either." An Impromptu Wedding. A Missouri paper gives a detailed account of bow a betrothed eoople were pursuaded to anticipate the day set for their wedding, and to have the coremony abiuptly porformed at a birth-day party, at which they chanced to bo gnosis. It says: Re corder Tbeis was also present, and as soon as ho saw tho young couple oomo in, with an eye to business be sug gested that if anybody was present who wished to bo married be was at their service. The young ooople took the hint. The young ronu was will ing but the maiden was hack ward and would not consent. Adam; concluded to use a little diplomacy, so he says: . 'I will make a present of a $35 cook- ing-stovo to any couple that 1 shall marry to-night This proposition so delighted tbo company that others commenced of fering presents. F. G. Moollor said, 'I will givo a nice bureau;' F, G. Abler-, 'And I a spring matlrois;' Fisch er, the batter, 'Call on mo for a rock. incr-cbair:' Miller, the cansmith. 'I ll givo a set of cushion-bottom chairs;' Mr. Yolk, 'And hcree an extension- table;' Mrs. Ann Nietebock,.
