Hamilton and others for the murder of Roderick Gambreli before Chancellor Peyton on a writ of habeas corpus, was concluded last Monday. Hamilton and Eubanks were held to answer at the Circuit Court without bail, Albrecht was released on a $5,000 bond, and Figures and the negro Hardy discharged, the testimony not being considered sufficient to hold them. There never was a fairer trial accorded criminals than was given by Judge Peytou to the accused. Every scrap of testimony that could be found was patiently listened to and counsel given ample opportunity to review it all in their arguments. Speeches were made for the defense by Judge Harris, Judge Calhoun, and Col. Nugent, and for the prosecution by John H. Martin, Private John Allen, Judge Brame, and District-Attorneys Huddleston and Miller. The decision will be acquiesced in by the people as a righteous one, and Judge Peyton’s course throughout the whole trial generally approved. Hamilton’s lawyers gave notice, as soon as the decision was rendered, of an appeal to the Supreme Court, but as that tribunal does not convene again until October, and the Circuit Court meets in July, the appeal will no doubt be dropped. Monday evening Hamilton was confined in the county jail. We request every reader of the Meteor to make a careful perusal of the article in this issue from the Brooklyn Leader headed “The Pentecostal Ring” It is an array of official facts and figures that cannot be questioned. No wonder Col. Hamilton granted when Roderick Hambleton mentioned this gigantic steal: No wonder Col. Hamilton is arrayed in “purple and linen” no wonder he has a palatial residence, a fine family and plenty of servants to do his bidding. Had the Leaders' facts and figures from official standpoint and so for him, the Times' article would have been published in the paper. The Herald Appointed to and the Electric Light of Truth Tariff. In The Trader of the 10th of July, in an article on the Constitution Ring, we charged among other things that the order of the Penitentiary was not in reply to the Jackson Lantern of July 17th, 1885, concerning their indebtedness to the State, and the certificates of Superintendent McQuiston, Ex-Attorney General Catchings and State Revenue Agent Wirt Adams embraced in said card, published in the Clarion of July 22, 1885, were false and misleading and were so proven by the Governor's official message of 1886. Gen. Wirt Adams, in a statement published in last week's Leader, takes issue with us on this point, and endeavors to show us appealing to the record, that we are mistaken. On the other hand, we stand pledged, if we cannot sustain our charge by the record, to frankly acknowledge our error. Now to the record. The first thing we direct the reader's attention is the certificates themselves: Jackson, Miss., July 20, 1885. This is to certify, that I assumed the duties of Superintendent of the Mississippi State Penitentiary on the 6th of March, 1882, and that the present incumbent of that office, Hamilton, Allen & Co., lessees of the Mississippi Penitentiary and their successors, have made settlements for the amounts accruing to the State under their contract and paid into the State Treasury all balances. Due to the State up to December 1st, 1884, I adjusted and certified to the accounts, and the Lessees of Penitentiary hold the Treasurer’s receipts for the payment of the balances due on said settlements. T. J. McQciston, Sup’t. Vicksburg, Miss., July 20, 1885. This is to certify that immediately after the passage of the Act of 1881, Governor Lowry, in writing, called my attention to the same, and I so notified the Lessees of the Penitentiary, who made a full settlement of all sums due, under the law and their contract up to the 1st of December, 1884. No suit was instituted, as it was not necessary. T. C. Catchings, Late Attorney General. Jackson, Miss., July 20, 1885. This is to certify that I have examined the statement of account of Hamilton, Hoskins & Co., successors to Hamilton, Allen & Co., lessees of the Mississippi Penitentiary, and find that the balance due the State under said contract up to the 1st of December, 1884, has been paid into State Treasury, as evidenced by the receipt of the State Treasurer, the original of which receipt is now in the possession of the Lessees. Wirt Adams, State Revenue Agent. It will be observed that all of these certificates declare that the Lessees had paid all amounts and balances due the State under their contract up to December 1, 1884, but there is not so much as an indication in them or in Hamilton and Hoskins’ card (which is too long for republishing here) that this settlement up to December 1, 1884, was for the rent long past due for 1883, or that on December 1, 1884, there was still an unpaid balance due for 1883 of $12,601, which was not paid until A month later. We now quote from the Governor’s message, delivered nearly six months after these certificates were published: Under section 2 of an act approved January 31st, 1877, I approved in 1884 contracts made by the Superintendent of the Penitentiary for necessary repairs and improvements, to the amount of $27,343.39. This sum was credited on the lease for 1883, and the balance of $12,079.61, due on the lease for that year, was on December 31st, 1884, paid into the Treasury. In the year 1885, I approved similar contracts to the amount of $27,419.42, which was credited on the lease for 1884, and the balance of $12,100.58, due on the lease for that year, was on December 19th, 1885, paid into the Treasury. The sum due on the lease for the year 1885 has not been paid.—Message of Jan. 6, 1885. Thus it will be seen that there is a direct clash between the Governor’s statement and the certificates Dutch, says Gen. Adams in his reply to our criticism.— "The certificates asserted that all amounts due the State up to 1st December, 1881, had been paid in to the Treasury; or in other words, that a full settlement had been made for the rent of 1883. It was not intended to certify that the amount charged for 1884 had been paid, as we knew that following the plan previously observed, no settlement could be made until the close of the year 1885." and consequently the result was not due for nearly six months after the certificates were given. It was not intended to certify, etc., says the General. That is to say, it was not intended to convey the only legitimate effect that the principle of the law was to be followed. Contract required annual settlements could place on the language used. Are, there's the rub! But, contends the General, we were only "following the plan [not the law] previously observed." In other words, the lease money for 1885, "was not due until the close of the year 1885." He also contends that this "plan" was necessary under the contract, and because time was needed to complete improvements, etc., which the Lessees might have under contract. In fact, on this sandy foundation he rests the whole superstructure of his defense, but that no such position can be maintained, we will presently show. The Penitentiary lease under discussion extended from Jan. 1, 1881, to Jan. 1, 1887, at $139,480 per year, and the contract required that settlements should be made annually. In proof of the correctness of this interpretation of the contract, we cite the last sentence quoted from the Governor’s message above, and. also his message to the Legislature of 1884, in which he calls attention to the fact that the Lessees had failed to settle for the rent due for 1883, and adds: "The sum of $139,420 is, under the contract, due annually until its expiration, on 1st January, 1887." Acting on this information from the Governor, and intending to enforce a prompt compliance with the contract as to payments, the Legislature passed the Act approved March 12, 1884, from which we take the following section: Sec. 2. Be it further enacted, That if the lessees of the Mississippi Penitentiary shall fail or refuse to promptly pay into the State Treasury, when the same becomes due, the amount agreed to be paid by them to the State on account of the existing lease of said Penitentiary, it shall be the duty of the Attorney General, upon being notified by the Governor of such failure or refusal to pay amount due, to institute suit at once, and prosecute the same to judgment and satisfaction thereof against said lessees and the sureties on their bond for the amount in arrears, and the amount so collected shall be paid into the State Treasury; and it is hereby made the duty of the Governor to notify the Attorney General of such failure or refusal to pay as soon as the fact of such default comes to his knowledge. With this evidence of the legislative sense, and intent before them when they wrote those certificates, it is worse than puerile, for two prominent officials, who were specially charged with looking after the financial interests of the State, to attempt to defend their position at this late day by saying they were only allowing the Lessees to follow the plan previously observed. We may add that Attorney General Miller takes no stock in this shallow sophistry of his predecessor and Gen. Adams, and early last year entered suit on the bond of the Lessees for the rent due for 1885, also recently for the rent due for 1886, and which we cite as additional proof of the utter indefensibility of Gen. Adams’ position. While we grant, as Gen. Adams claims, that the Lessees had a right by their contract and the laws under which it was formulated, to make repairs and improvements and demand credits for same in settlement, yet for reasons already given, we wholly repudiate as illogical and unreasonable his conclusion that "the result of the privilege thus accorded to the Lessees was, that the rent for no year became vine or payable until twelve months after the expiration of the year to which it was charged." To say nothing of the law which we have shown was directly averse to any such interpretation, it was shown in 1886 by the Senate Standing Committee on Penitentiary and Prisons that it was entirely unnecessary for the Lessees to finish their contracts for work before credits were obtained. That committee (see their report in Senate Journal for 1886) showed that the Lessees had obtained credits on contracts in settlement with the State for the year 1883 which had not been completed up to February, 1886, and that contracts on which credits had been obtained in the settlement for 1881 had not been so much as begun in February, 1886. In the face of such facts as these, away with the plea that it was necessary to delay settlement with the Lessees a year in order for them to have a chance to finish negotiations! Moreover, on such a hypothesis and in the light of such a record, how would the State ever get the balance of its pay from the Lessees when their lease terminated and the Penitentiary had passed into other hands? Gen. Adams endeavors to fortify his awkward position by saying that Mr. H.C. Fairman, who first made the afterward frankly admitted in the paper and charged Mr. Hines with having made him, and that Mr. Hines himself acknowledged the error into which he had fallen. We are aware that Fairman got his data from Mr. Hines and that he did do what is claimed, but he did not retract until after the official certificates of Messrs. McQuiston, Cattingly and Adams, which he and every other man at that time not acquainted with the inside facts regarded as prima facie evidence of the truth, had been published. How far Mr. Hines helps out Gen. Adams and the other certificate-makers will appear from the following letter written to the Editor of this paper shortly after the card of Hamilton and Hoskins and the certificates were published: Jackson, Miss., August 14, 1885. B. T. Hobbs, Brookhaven, Miss.: Dear Sir—Since I published my card, I have ascertained that I committed no error in my figures to Fairman, and that his total was incorrect by his adding in “for 1885”, which he should not have done. The lease has been running for four years—from January 1, 1881, to January 1, 1885—at £6,400 per year— $157,000—and the Auditor’s books and Treasurer’s show but two sets of one year each— (L’W,420—total, $78,840—that during two years unaccounted for. When I published my card, I did not mean that I accepted an correct statement of the contents and the charges attached. I only intended to convey the idea that I had made an error, but to what extent I did not say or intimate; that upon investigation and reflection, I find that my statement was correct from the books in this office. Your friend, H. H. Hines. A few words of explanation and we will bring this article to a close. When Fairman made his charge that the Leasers were behind in their accounts with the State, it was not so important whether he proved the exact amount of their delinquency as it was to show that they were behind at all, because, as we have seen, the Legislature of 1884 had made the Governor and his administration responsible for the prompt collection of the lease money. In the face of the statute, we have quoted from above, had it then been known to the people that the Leasers were as much behind as has since been shown and that no such land ever been brought on their bond. Lowry and his administration would have been held responsible for it by the people. Mr. Fairman knew this and Lowry’s partisans, of whom Gen. Catching, Gen. Adams and Mr. McQuiston and the Penitentiary Lessees were among the warmest, knew it. The Gubernatorial campaign, in which Lowry was seeking a renomination was at its height, and an exposure of this kind made and sustained would have turned the scale against him. With this view of the situation at that time, we ask, if the card of the Lessees and the certificates of Missis. McQuiston, Latchings and Adams were not a Lowry campaign document, intended to deceive the people. Ile, why were they so adroitly worded and proof sheets sent out through the mails in advance of the Clarion’s day of publication? And why did Lowry, an interested party who probably saw the card before it ever appeared in the Clarion, hold his peace until nearly six months afterwards? Any man under the same circumstances, faced with these official certificates, would have done as Fairman did, and it was not a matter of wonder that H. H. Hines himself, the most and correct accountant of the Auditor’s office, confronted with such a formidable array of official testimonials, should for the moment be led to doubt his own senses. But what, the reader may ask, have these things to do with the present? Simply to show the people that there is such a combination as the Penitentiary Ring and that they stand in with each other for their own personal aggrandizement and wield a powerful influence on the politics of the State. Gen. Adams says there is not, and that the certificates were not false, but we submit that men have been hung on weaker evidence than we have shown, inculpating the Ring, and of this we leave the public to judge. Personal. Grenada, Miss., June 10, ’87. By the intervention of mutual friends Mr. B. T. Hobbs, of the Brooking Avenue Leader, and Mr. J. W. Buchanan, of the Grenada Sentinel, have amicably and honorably settled the differences between them as follows: Mr. Hobbs dislains any intention of personally reflecting upon Mr. Buchanan by his allusion to the Grenada Sentinel in his article in the Brooklyn Leader, of the issue of May 26th, 1877, "The Penitentiary Ring," therefore Mr. Buchanan and Mr. Hobbs mutually withdraw allotments of personalities that have occurred between them. J. H. Anderson, For B. T. Hobbs. J. C. Longstreet, For J. W. Buchanan HIGHLY PERSONAL. The Koscinsko Star and Oliver Clifton. The Koscinsko Star of May 3rd, contained the following paragraphs: There are many ways of achieving infamy, and Oliver Clifton took a short call to it when he called a dead man a liar. Oliver Clifton has had one experience in calling a live man a liar. After that, he decided to continue such efforts to men under the nod. It's safer. The Democratic party has made Oliver Clifton clerk of the supreme court and chairman of the State Executive committee. Now is the time for the party to seize him by the scruff of the neck and apply the toe to the bosom of his trousers. A brave and chivalrous spirit truly is Oliver Clifton. Ifton. He actually called Roderick (Gatnhrell) a Mar. Amated, however, by that discretion which is said to be the better part of valor, he waited until Roderick was dead. Hurrah for the knightly editor of the Clarion, who couches his lance against a corpse. Oliver Clifton’s ungraceful apology, wrung from him by the taunts of an indignant public sentiment, cannot wipe away the brand of damning and eternal infamy self-stamped upon his brow by calling the murdered editor of the Sword & Shield a liar. The receipt of the Star in this city Friday morning, the 3rd inst, provoked the following correspondence: Jackson, Miss., June 1, 1877. J. H. Anderson: Sir:— I must request you to name a time and place, outside the limits of the State, where you will receive from me a communication touching certain personal allusions to myself in the Kosciusko Star of the 3rd inst. This note will be delivered to you by my friend, Mr. Oscar H. Johnson, who is authorized to receive your reply. Respectfully, Oliver Clifton. Kosciusko, Miss., 6-4—*87. Oliver Clifton: Sir— In reply to yours of the 3rd, I have to say that I look on the method you propose as only a rotten bout way to avoid a fight. If you are spoiling for a personal encounter, I am ready to accommodate you, but there is no necessity for so much monkey business in preparing for it. There is no recognized “code of honor” now, and if there were, you are beyond its pale. I will not engage in a duel on account of the legal consequences. But if you are determined on a fight you doubtless know I. Live in Kosciusko and can be found here almost any time. I make it a point to settle my own controversies without involving my friends. Now if you wish to come to Kosciusko, I guarantee you a fair light. If you criticize your honor, I should not hesitate to put yourself to some trouble to hunt up the innocent who has been guilty of so hideous an offense. If you do not care to come here, indicate some neutral point within the State. There is no need putting ourselves in the hands of friends and running a thousand miles to settle a dispute when we are so near together. Any kind of light will suit me that will satisfy you, and avoid the legal consequences of a duel. Respectfully, J. H. Anderson. Mr. J. H. Anderson, of the Kosciusko Star, came down to spend the day at the trial. A difficulty being apprehended between him and Mr. Oliver Clifton, both parties were arrested by the municipal authorities about 10 a.m. and placed under a bond of $2,000 each. —New Mississippi. “Temperance,” in his communication to the Vicksburg Herald, says that the Prohibitionists say, “the world belongs to the saints—and we are the Saints.” The “autoocrats” now in power say that the State belongs to us and we are going to have it, if we have to murder those who oppose us. But the good people say, “Oh, it the devil rascals!” "Leland Record." Col. Nugent declared the other day that Hamilton had turned crank—in other words, that he had become converted to Prohibition. The County Democratic Executive Committee meets next Saturday. Give us nominations, gentlemen, and a clean fight on party lines. If there ever was a glaring inconsistency, entirely manifest to the public, it exists among those papers that affect holy and unspeakable horror because a few brave, murderous papers have condemned this outrageous murder, and yet these same papers have themselves tried Hamilton and pronounced him innocent, notwithstanding his villainous crime. Such journals would either be silent or defend the devil if he were to come on earth and avoid crime and immorality. Crystal Springs Meteor. Wm. Steele is a negro. He killed a man in Jackson. He was sentenced to be hanged. Col. Hamilton is a wealthy State Senator. He too, under the circumstances, a man in Jackson. Will be sentenced to be hanged?—Kosciusko Star. OBITUARY. Mrs. Mary W. Oat, wife of J. Oat, was born in Barnwell, Mass., May 13, 1817, after a long residence in 1887. Is dying only at the age of 13 years, having only been married to Mr. J. H., Oat's father of our fellow townsman, Dr. C. E. Oat, Sr. Of this union there were six sons and four daughters, and of this number two sons and three daughters survive the aged mother. The major part of Her life was spent in Lawrence County, Mo., where she was extensively and favorably known as a prudent wife, a sterling woman, a good neighbor, a faithful mother, and a devout Christian. For more than fifty years she was a member of Bethany Church, having been baptized by Eld. N. Robertson in his early ministry and who for forty years was her pastor. By nature blessed with a strong constitution and by regularity of habits, her days were extended to a point allotted to but a few in this age of the world, yet all these years were spent in active, honorable employment for family, home, and community. Another generation must pass away before "Grandma Oatis" will be forgotten or her influence be lost for good. When this long day of life came to end, it was almost painless. Without a cloud, the sun and the moon breathed her last and the spirit sped back to him that gave it. She rests from her labors and her works do follow her, "Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord" and our hearts do follow her, "Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord" and our hearts do follow her. May her children and grandchildrons meet her in the better land. So more it is. X. Hazleton, Miss., June 10, '87. A TONGUE IN NOTES. I contracted malaria in the swamps of Louisiana while working for the telegraph company, and used every kind of medicine I could hear of without relief. At last, I at last succeeded in breaking the fever, but it cost me over $100, and then my system was prostated and saturated with malarial poison and I became almost helpless. I finally came here, my mouth so filled with sores that I could scarcely eat, and my tongue was raw and filled with little knots. Various remedies I were resorted to without effect. I bought two bottles of B. B. B. and it has cured my mouth and strength. All sores of my mouth are healed and my tongue is entirely clear of knots and soreness, and I feel like a new man.

I have a little boy twelve years old whose knees have been drawn almost double and his joints are perfectly stiff, and has been in this condition three years, unable to walk. During that time, the medical Board of Lecompton county examined him and pronounced the disease scrofula and prescribed, but no benefit ever derived. I then used a much advertised prescription without benefit. Three weeks ago he became perfectly helpless and suffered dreadfully. A friend who had used B. B. B. advised its use. Use. He used one bottle and all pain ceased and he can now walk. This has been pronounced a most wonderful action, as his complaint had bullied everything. I shall continue to use him.
