Ho Bald that as far as he could see that everything van well; that it mndu but little difference Ono wor the ot h* r. lie stated that he wrs on the platform as an nounced by Mr. Jefferson Davis upon the subject of prohibition. A temperance man himself, never drinking whisky and seldom taking wine, ho was nevertheless persuaded that, it xvas not proper to say to a people or a community that you shall not have these in toxicants under any cii*n instances whatever. Thcggovcrnoi declared that he was prepared to admit, that the presence of the saloon or bar indiscriminately he re and there was an evil, but it was an evil that roti I*l be corrected. Laws Should bo passed regulating who should sell it, where it should be s«»ld, r.nd the seller should be required to give band and security for a decent and faithful performance of th* 1 law. Jackson, the capital. is a prohibition town or city, having been so since last January. Gov ernor Lowry stated that as far as ho could tell the people of Jackson s**niod satisfied, or con tent, but said he. made the issue straight,leave out the sick question of the saloon, it. being a blessing or an exil, and take local option or prohibition squarely on its merits, ami he be lieves that a good man with anti-prohibition views could carry the city and count?. Ermn my conversation w ith him J gathered this fact, which seemed to Is* alw ax s near, 1 hat the nrgn inent upon the question had never been fully put and met. That it. had always teen couplied with the issues of how it should bo sold, when, wh< re, er by whom—never ha the people been called upon to debate the broad proposition ought the plate to allow the sale • liquor nt all. \S hen over that ,u as brought up, ns it had been in Texas ami Tennese e, the governor declared that he f It ceriain that Missis ippi would en roll itself upon the prohibition side. A few months ago, tho state temperance convention met in ll»i> taa*, and among other matters appointed a conimitte e to memorialize the legislature to nass a constitutional amend ment forbidding the sale. Governor Lowry thought the legislature would respectfully listen to the memorial, ami inight even go so far ns to refer it to a commit tee, but he had no idea that it would permit the matter to go befort th* peonlo. Thi -amo resolution creat'd a big stir her© at the time, Bud The Gons mt h*>n reader will recollect that the Bev. Charles l‘. ( allowav. of M« in- » jihis, an eminent Methodist divine ami niiihop, came out in a public address in the Newspapers and nu'-l earnestly protested Against the com ent ion doing anything of tho kind. Ami the great body of the people her are with the M» thod st bishop on the subject. As to the success of prohibition in the < mn} ’ties that have and are trying it. various epin* jons can be obtained. Governor Lowry’s ex pression was that Im did not know how the majority felt, but he did not believe the piohi bilion ole incut strong enough to enter a state contest.

Ji. H. P. How ft I <*«4s to Ha Hanged. From the I>envcr News. “When I was about twenty years uld I loft New Hampshire, my native state, and camo west, with the idea of securing a fortune in tho 1 mines. That was about ten y< ars ago. At that time, to mv eyes, Montana offered the best I fr I<l to a young man from tho stales, and in tho direction of that territory 1 turned my face. J worked my way up into the northeastern part ami was beginning to foel just a little Linn, although L would not confess it to myself. 1 had not found a gold mine at the first jump, ns I fullv ami confidently ex pected,and insti rid * f jingling dollars in mv pocket I got down to rubbing dimes together, and even tin music sounded sweet, for b( fore long I was |whacking b inos for a place to sleep and something to eat. “1 inallv I worked my way to a little town away up in the corner d the territory and by making plenty of friends and hard work 1 be gan to see daylight through my difficulties. 'Phen Ihe camp had a boom and things were lively f«<r a time. I took good care to profit by it, ami waa in a fairway to raise mono) enough to ‘shake’ the country, when a strange thing happened. One night Ibe !><•<! - were all full at the house and I doubled up with a tall miner, who was a .■:tranger in town. Before I awoke tho next morning ho was gone,ami aft* r b-eakfast T heard that a aloon keeper had been killed and robbed of S.’XX). Late in the afternoon a man came upto me ami said he v,anted to see rno on a little business. I went with him, and we walked quite a distance until we camo to a team hitched to a lumber wagon full of men. I was ordered to jump in, and then for the first time it struck me that 1 might have been ac cused of the murder of the night before. I asked them what I was wanted for, but received no reply, and we were driven out of town to a clump of trees a mile or two axvay. A rope was produced, one end placed around iny nock, and the other end thrown oxer the branch of a tree. 1 xvas then asked to make a confession. 1 told them briefly that I ha<l nothing to confess.jand that if they could find the tall miner with whom I had slept the night previous he would declare my innocence. They only laughed nt me, ami 1 realized that 1 was to die. I was filled with such a feeling of horror that my legs seemed to give way beneath their weight, and two men assisted me. “The order was given to pull away, and up I went, tho rope tightening about my throat like some living thing intent on killing me. Suddenly I was lowered to the ground ami again asked to confers. 1 tried to speak, but could rot utter a sound. 1 xvas speechless. Upon a slip of paper I asked that my father ami ni<>tlw*r bo notified of iny death, and wrote the address. After a bri<*f|consultation I was pulled up again, and, as my eyes closed, it seemed as though I had looked upon earth for the last time. At first I suffered intense pain, then a feeling of dizzi ness came over me ami my head swam around and around and 1 felt as though 1 were falling a great distance. Then a sensation of sleep cam** over me. I knew of nothing after that until 1 found myself lying on tho ground, while tho form 01 a man bent over me in the gathering darkness, and water was dashed in iny face. The revival was one of pain, and just then 1 would rather have been left to die. “1 was taken to a house, how I do not know, and nut to bed. My throat pained inc, and I couhl not talk. I remained there for twenty four hours, when tho man who cut mo down camo in and said they had found the tall minor 1 had slept with and they know 1 was inno cent. IL' had cut me down on his own respon sibility, he said ; but now he could tidl the boys, and he did. They came to tho cabin with a rush, and some of them cried for joy when they found I was alive. They asked me ques tions and 1 found 1 could not talk. Then they took me to the hotel, put me in the best room and sent for a doctor. “When tho doctor camo ami made an ex amination of my throat he said that some us the smaller bones of my neck had become dis jointed. IL' xvovked on the case two weeks, and 1 finally found my voice again. But the terrible red scar still remained, ami I suppose always will.” Cough* ami Cold*.

CATTLE AND SHEEP. i Tho Prog ess of Stock Farming in the Southwest. DIVIDING THE FARMS AROUND ALBANY Albany. Ga., November 2f).—[Special.]— Farming is becoming yearly more intensive and mr.i■ .• diver ified in this section. The vari ety of product;; is j.ioie diversified. Stock raising is attracting much attention, as our native grus;,; s are moat luxuriant and nutri tious, making a fine quality of hay. Mr. S. B. S.*lt<-r has just returned from Kentucky to L'S lovely country home, which retains its old name of Mud (.'reek farm. This place has been transformed from a great cotton plan tation to a most flourishing stock faim. The finest cattle in the state are raised there, and some of the cults from that farm are becoming famous on the turf. More small farms are needed, however. Hon. J. W. Walters intend ; next month to sell out his body of land near the suburbs of Al bany in small tracts, and upon easy payments. This is a good move, and if settled by pro t-r• ssive farmers, will be of much benefit to the town. J'oultry is becoming scarce here. Since the location of the many large saw mills and tur pentine farms upon the line of the Brunswick and Albany railroad, that road, instead of sup plying the market here as in former years, carries large quantities of eggs etc., from this mark* t. The main egg supply reaches us from 1} o Southwestern Railroad Exten sion extending, from Albany to Blakely, and now be carried on to Columbia, Alabama. Some of our merchants arc already receiving thuir supply from Tennesssee. Mr. W. W. Rawlins, who has recently added to the industries here an extensive sausage factory, says: “lam well fitted up and find * o'l sale for my production. My great trouble is, that although I offer the highest market price for hogs here, I find much difficulty in procuring them, and shall be compelled to or-lcr in car load lots fiom the west. lam willing to pay the farmers what the west costs me xvith tin; freights added, but tho supply is inadequate.” Great droves of cattle and sheep are being constantly driven to the market here from Mitchell, Worth and oast Dougherty counties. ERRATIC SAM BRANNAN. From the Bran Francisco Post. The announcement that Sam Brannan has returned to this city from Giiaymas, jSenora, and is registered at a lodging house on Commercial street, revives a host of recollections concerning the erratic career of that gentleman. Sun Brannan’s career on th s coast has been a varied one. lie was the first man to start a newspaper in California, and wu-j instrumental in the finding and working of gild in the island which is now known as Mormon Island. Bain Brannan was the devil In that great play of “Gold Discovery,” which was acted here through, ut the years 1819-50. Though the actors were by no moms angles, yet Sam Brannan, by a iperior intelligence and his unbounded audacity, did for a great many months playa leading part during that time. As au example of his audacity, Sam Brannan constituted him. elf the collector of tithes for the benefit of the Mormon church, and this tithe xvas one-tenth of the gross product of the gold mines. Strange to say, the Mormon miners unhesitatingly paid to Sam this tithe, in the silly belief that it was duly forwarded to Salt Lake city. For many months the tithe xvas paid without a mur mur, but one day General Sherman, xvho was then stationed here, happened to pay a visit to Monnon island, and was approached with a complaint by Certain Mormons. “Lieutenant,” said Jtbey, “we are paying one tenth of the gross product of our earnings to Sam Brannan as a tithe to tl.e Mormon church, and we do not believe that he is sending as he promised. We wish that you would sec him about it.” Sherman was a notorious lover of justice, and wa ever ready to listen to a complaint, and if possible, rectify, so when he returned to Pan Francisco he met Sam and told him what he had heard. “More d fools they to pay,” said Sam, “and us long as they pay so long will I take.” Sherman communicated this ansxver to the sweltering T.ater Day Saints at Mormon Island>and after a great many resolutions It xvas finally agreed that the tithe should be discontinued. Little was heard of Sam Bia man for many years, until he suddenly Loomed up with the startling news that he had furnished supplies to the Mexican government during the war of 1866 to the tune of <10,000,000. The Mexican government,rather justly, repudiated this claim, and gave him a few thousand dolh.r*. Then Sam Bnmnnn loomed up again as a groat colonist, and elaborated a great scheme for furnishing Sonora with colonists, and for the fur therance of this plan he took up his residence in tho town of Guaymos, which is the port of the state of Sonora. As a d ossor Sato Brannan xvas not a success du ring his stay in that town. In the hut weather -and it * an be hot in Guay mas—Ram Brannan was the re verse of being xvcll clad. His favorite npi arel was ah uld chintz dressing gown, which came a little be low his knees, a pair of carpet slippers down at heel and out of toe. and a gaudy Japanese umbrella. Ar rayed in only these articles of wearing apparel, Mr. Sam Brannan would stroll out to pay his calls and r.tt* nu to his business. It can be imagined what alarm his appearance caused among the fair senoritas of Sonora when he came before them in his flapping dressing gown. One day, when a fresh sea breeze xvas blowing through the little toxvn and fanning the few sickly orang© trees in the plaza, Mr. Sam Brannan appeared in all the glory of his gaudy dress. A meeting was held by tho prominent resi dents bf tho place, and a deputation waited upon Sam reqvesting him to fni-h his toilet before he ap peared ou the plaza. Sam’s reply xvas couched in the form of breaking the paper umbrella over the speaker’s head, and he retiied to the house in high dud .eon. his mouth vomiting forth curses upon every man, x\« man and child in the slate of Senora of the great Mexican republic.

Features of the Speculative Movement in Grain and Produce. Special to The Constitution. CHICAGO, November 19—The main results of to day’s operations on ’change were a decline of 35e in pork, and an advance of %c in wheat and corn. Wheat, corn and oats held very nearly at the closing prices of yesterday during the morning hour of the session. Activity in the pit was fair and prices steadier early, with considerable weakness shortly after noon on reports of softer weather In the winter wheat sections. Just before the close there was a spurt among buyers, and for wheat took a bound of y,c, which closed them at the outside for the day— -75%e for December. Corn closed at 48%@48%c for May. Oats closed at 30%@30%e for May. In pork there was an unusually active speculative trope, attended with marked irregularity in prices. Offerings were large, and thedemand from all sources quite active. Early sales were in ide at 2%@5e ad vance, but the market soon weakened, and prices receded 27@30c> Later it rallied 12%@15c, but soon declined 25@30e and closed easy at 313.65 tor January. Hankers, reinforced by scalpers, had been free sell ers all the way down. lAird trading was brisk, but extremely light stocks on hand made transactions mainly in the more deferred deliveries. The mar ket opened strong r.t 2%@5c advance, but moder ately free offerings caused a reduction of 7%'.i 100.l 0 0. latter the market ruled strong, and prices rallied 5@ 7%c. Short ribs were fairly active and irregular, closing quiet at 6.57%@6.90 for January. '1 he following was the range in the leading futrues In Chicago today: Wheat— Opening.
