next senator from this district is well
known, having been for many years
Solicitor General of the Southern cir

8mate, four years ngo, where he took
position in tho front ranks of that
body.
Though a mere youth he responded
to his country’s call iu lSfil.and serv

war, staining the battle field ofChica-
maugn with his blood, and only sur
rendering when the. banner of the
Lost Cause went down in defeat, to
rise no more, llis record in the sen
ate, where his every vote was in fnvor
of tho toiling masses, and against
trusts, combines and grasping corpo
rations, will now commend him to the
people. He is a fine parliamentarian,
familiar with the rulesand proceedings
of the souatc; and ho is brainy, cultur

integrity. He would honor the posi

much as would honor aim,

An Interesting Occasion.
That was a delightful gathering at
the residence of Mr. L. S. Morris, on
Monday evening, the occasion being
the presentation of the silver tea set to
Mr. Morris,by the engineers of the S.,
F. & W. Ry., ns a token of their
esteem.
Mr. Peter McDonald, a popular
young engineer, made the presentation
speech. His remarks were appropriate,
aud showed in what high regard and
brotherly love Mr. Morris was held.
In accepting the token, Mr. Morris’
voice trembled with emotion as he ex
pressed his appreciation of the gift.
As he expressed it, the hardest words
he had to say, were to bid his old
friends good by.
After the presentation nnd accept
ance were over, champagne was
brought out, and the guests present
drank to his health, wealth anil pros
perity in his new home.
Among the plensant features of the
evening was the music anil singing by
Miss Odessa Morris. When the
pleasant evenings enjoyment came to
a close, tho “good-byes” said and
the guests departed for their dif
ferent homes, it was with a wish that
it might las their good fortuue to
again, some day, have Mr. and Mrs.
Mortis for their hosts.

A Constitutional Convention.
The state ot Mississippi is holding a
constitutional convention. Numerous
plans are being proposed to insure the
continued supremacy of the white
race. The Macon Telegraph says:
“The Mississippi constitutional con
vention, now in session, will certainly
make some decided changes in the
fundamental law of that common
wealth. One of the most striking
propositions yet brought forward pro
vides for the extension of the right of
suffrage to women who have certain
property qualifications nnd upon male
minors over 1G who possess certain
property and educational qualifica
tions. The number of disqualifying
crimes will probably be increased and
a longer residence in the stato and
county required of voters. A lnrger
compulsory poll tax and the Austra
lian ballot"system may also be adopt
ed. At nny rate the new constitution
will be in many essential respects
quite different from the one now in
force.”
Grant’s Burial Place.
New York claimed the privilege of
burying General Grant and promised
to erect a magnificent monument to
his memory Grant was buried there,
but the monument has never materi
alized. The following’ resolution was
adopted by congress last week :
“That congress desires the removal
of the remains of the illustrious soldier
and statesman, Ulysses S. Grant, to
and tiieir interment in the Arlington
National cemetery, and that the pres
ident be requested to convey to the
widow of this eminent man such
desire, and tendering to her, on
behalf of the nation, all necessary
facilitcs for such removal and inter
ment.”
It looks as if the government in
tends to take charge of the matter,
by transferring the body to Arlington
and then putting up of a suitable mon
ument to the dead soldier’s memory.
