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.”

How They Nettle Contested Elec
tions in -WisttiNNippi.
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.”
