Wo cnunot nhtieo anonymous comiuu- mcatioiiH, no matter how ineritorioUH; nor will manuscript written on both nides receive any attention. When it i« do- eired to return communications that are not used, stamps for thnt pnrposo must be enclosed. Wo arc always anxious to got news, and such information as is of interest to the majority of our roaders will always he welcome. niNMIKNIPPI. The Supreme Court of the State lias pronounced tho lato election in Missis sippi constitutional. Wo hopo that this will settle the political controversy (hero, and that Gov. Towers and his supporters will yield. We express this hopo without reference to the strictly legal aspects of tho case—for the truth is, wo do not fully understand them—hut simply because the decision of tho Court is in accordance with the expressed will of the people. We recognize the important fact that tho im position upon the people of a govern ment not of their choice, and against one of thoir preference, does not satisfactorily settle political contests in this country, and should not. Had this fact boon borne in tniiul aud roapooted during our “ Ke- • construction” trials, most of tho Southern Htates would sooucr have been restored to political quietude and stability; they would have been Havod from un iunuouKo amount of debt and plunder, and thoro would have been fewer rankling wounds to cause present irritation aud distrust. it is true that Gov. Towers is not as distinctly pledged to a recognition of tho legality of tho late election in his State ns Gov. Davis is in respect to that of Texas. Ho was not a candidate for re- election, and wo believe that ho refused to sanction tho cloction while tho ouuvahh was progressing, lint ho ought oarlier to have taken an official stand against it, if ho contemplated doing so at all. His proceeding ought to have beeu dirocted to tho prevention of the election, instead of an attempt to reverse or set it aside by a conlliot ufter it had boon held. Tho election of a new government by tho pooplo of a State is too grave and impor tant a matter to be sot aside by judicial revision unloHH it can be clearly shown that an injurious infraction of tho consti tutional rights of a portion of tho people has been committed. And when, as in the case of Mississippi, the decree of tho highest judicial authority is in accordance with tho will of the people ns expressed by their most solemn uud uutborituti action, it would seem to tie foil}' to at tempt resistance on tho ground of more irregularities or informalities. TUE I’EMITE.VUAKY «OWHT*. The question what to do with the con victs sentenced for criminal oilouocH to terms in the State Tunitontiary, is said to bo perplexing tho legislators at Atlanta. They have fur several years past boon hired out to contractors to work ou mil roads, Ac., and tho Stato has derived some revenue from this source. Hut it is said that Graut, Alexander A* Go., the present hirers, will probably not bo wil ling to oxtoud their contract after its ter mination (which will presently occur), because railroad work und pay are slack and the prospect precarious. This may bo the case, and still it by no moaiiH fol lows that no one will be wilting to pay something for tho convict labor. Wo doubt not thut j dan tors of large means cun he found to take them in gangs for field labor. Thu gangs would have to bo largo enough to justify the expense of koepiug guards on duty ; but many plan tations are to be found iu tho State, ou which such a uuuibor of hands could pro fitably l»o worked, and the hire of tho couviuts and paymeut of guards would not amount to as much an tho employ luent of free labor. Wo do not anticipate any difficulty, if tho proposition is made to hire them to planters iu gangs of forty, fifty, or one hundred. Wo do not share in llio fooling that re. volts at the hiring of these hands, for any kind of ordinary labor, ou the ground that it is inhuman. Hard labor—labor “ by the sweat of tho brow”—is the com mon doom of humanity, and surely we would make no exception in favor of tho most criminal portion. Of course, laws requiring their humane treatment ought to be continued in force, as they doubt less will, and penalties ought to bo en forced against any contractor who fails to provide them with bufficiont food, cloth- iug, aud needed medical attendance. They ought also to be dassi/u </, and contractors prohibited from employing any class in work for which it may bo incapacitated This ought to have boon done (if it hns not boon) under the contracts already en tered into, it would bo ridiculous, if not presumptuous, to say thut tho require incut of hard and constant work of then convicts is inhuman. Tho only inhuman- ity to ho deplored or avoided is the em ployment of any class of them iu a kind of labor which their mental or physical powers are nut capablo of performing, and tho tnihiro to provide for their com fort ; and these can he prevented by pro hibitory legislation 1>E.4TII OE THE SIAMESE TWI VS. The death of the world-known human curiosities, Chang aud Kng, ou Saturday last, seems to have Bottled a question that had long received tho attention of medicul and other scientific men. The fact that Eng, who up to that time had uppoared to bo in good hoallh, only survived the death of Chang about two hours, seems to establish tho fact that there was a vital or sympathetic connection between them that would at any time have caused the death of both bad it been sevored. It seems to verify the opinion expressed aud believed forty years ago, that the ligature connecting them was a duct through which vital organs performed their functions, and on the preservation of which the life of both depended. Chang and Eng were brought to this country about the year 1832, being then twenty-two years of ago, uud natives of Sum, Asia. They made a tour of the l nited Statfs at that time, appearing in Culombu, in March, 1883. After travel. ing on exhibition for a few years iu Eu rope and this country, they settled in the Western part of North Carolina, and thoro married two sistors named Hunker. They engaged in tho busiuoss of farming, on good lauds, and became prosperous and successful. No doubt thoy wore at first greatly aided by tlio experience of the funiily into which they married, tho West ern North Carolina farmers of Dutch extraction being notorious for excellent management and thrift. They had each a number of children, and reports repre sented them us being happy and harmo nious iu their married relations. It has boon only a yoor or two since wo had reports of conferences with eminent medical men as to the practicability of sovoring tho ligature that united them without causing the death of ono or both. Thoy wout to Europe for consultation on this matter. Tho newly uwakenod anxie ty on this subject was occasioned by the evidently failing health and precarious condition of Chung. It wus said that medical men differed iu opinion on the subject, und no surgical operation was therefore attempted. Aud now wo have an account of their douth, under circum stances which Boom to show that the sep aration, if ufi'octed, would have been futul to both. Thu twin brothors must have been about fill years of age at the timo of their death. Thoy were, like most of thoir race, below tho European average in stature, and thoir complexion was of the same hue as tho Chinese. It is said that iu old-time politics thoy differed, ono be ing a Whig and tho other a Democrat, but bore thoir political differences us philo sophically and patiently as thoy did other inconveniences which to most men would seem to liavo been very annoying, if not uuoociurablo. COLORADO. Dr. Josoph Puncoast, of Philadelphia, tho omiuont physician aud professor in J elforson , Medical College, writing of Colorado, says •. “That in regard to tho great questions which concern invalids—heat, cold, dry ness and humidity, and freonoss of the air from every noxious quality—Colorado presents peculiar attractions that can scarcely fail to make it ono of the great suuituriu of tho North American conti nent. “its weather, which in more thuu ordi narily dear and serene, aud its scenery, unexampled almost for interest and beau ty, invites tho invulid to out-door oxer turn ; uud its mineral springs, of varied qualities, grateful to the taste, will lie found very beneficial iu well-apportioned cases. “Colorado lies in tho northern part of tho tomporato zone, whieh is deemed iu ull climates tho most conducive to health and longevity. It is protected l»y its mountain raugo against tho cold winds of the West, uud by its loug oriental slopes from the paludal fevers of the Mississippi Valley. If greater warmth is required in the winter, the railroad whieh extends southward, places it within easy reach of tho invalid. “There is no climate that ftflfilrtull that is wished for special invalids. Dow aro now willing to send consumptives to the vorinblo winter climate of Southern Eu rope, where thoro are weekly alternations of hot winds from the South and frozen blasts from tlm mountain ranges of tho North. The Africau climates aro in many respects heller, yet tho oxtroiuo heat which characterises them is prejudicial to the consumptive, ami Dr. Slinepp, of Alexandria, has shown ns that Phthisis is a common disease in Cairo, forming about fourteen per cent, of tho general mortal ity. “The groat elevation and consequent rarifaction of the atmosphere iu Colorado, with its thermoinotrio moderations iu all seasons, gives to (hut region nu especial advantage as a general saimtarium. Yet this, though found extremely beneficial to many forms of Asthma und in the early stages of consumption by expanding tho lung cells, may ho prejudicial when can- ties have already boon formed iu tho lung*, which require contraction of the parts for their relief, it would therefore bo woll if invalids who think of visiting Colorado, to read the remarks of Dr. Bancroft, of Denver, which havo been founded upon personal experience in that locality.” For remarks of Dr. Bancroft, boo circu lar.

Two Radicals—Hilliard, the iucumbeut, aud a man named Morgan—recently ran for Sheriff of Yazoo county, Miss., and the latter claimed to havo been elected. How tho matter was settled is detailed in the testimony given in before a coroner’s inquest, and sout iu substuncu to tho Vicksburg J Jerald, as follows : At au early hour yesterday morning Morgan and his clan forcibly ejected Hil liard’s deputy from tho-sheriff's office and took possession. Hilliard, coming down town about 8 o’clock, summoned what citizens ho saw to go with him to tho court house. When near there, Morgan mot them and said, “1 am Sheriff and havo the keys. 1 warn you uot to go to tho court house.” Hilliard said to his posse, “I am Sheriff’; follow mo." Ho then wont rapidly on to tho Court house, followed by his posse and Morgan; Hilliard cutered and easily forced tho door. As it opened, Frank Stewart, col ored, fired at Hilliard, wounding him in tho side. Scott, colored, tired over Hil liard s shoulder at Stewart, wounding him severely. Several other shots wero fired, and Scott was slightly hurt. Hilliard re- treatod toward tho hall door only a few steps off. Morgan, standing in tho door, leveled his pistol at Hilliard’s head and fired, and Hilliard fell, tho ball having ponotrated tho brain, lio lived but three hoors afterward. Tho verdict of the jury at the coroner’s inquest reads: “Wo find that II. F. Hilliard conio to his death by murder by n pistol shot in the head at the hands of Colouel A. T. Morgan, and as accessories thoroto Frank Stewart und Emanuel Stephens.” —The Alabama llaptist is tho name of a new paper published at Muriou, Ala., under the auspices of the Baptist State Denomination.
