The possibility of gold reaching $1.01 must have caused Jay Gould to prick up his ears as he recalled his famous

and infamous corner on gold gn Black Washington Friday, fifteen years ago, when half a dozen conspirators "held up" most of the gold buyers in New York and robbed them. There are many who have been watching for years for gold to strike a premium, and brokers who would rejoice to see it added to the unfortunate securities they use for foot-balls on Wi.ll street. With all the

The Express, in speaking of the proposed new postal law preventing the passage throujsii the mails of papers containing lottery advertisements, says:

It might, with much more regard for fair treatment thau the Gazette shows toward this bill, be said that our contemporary opposes the measure because it alone, of all Terre Haute newspapers, publishes lottery advertisements.

Either tho Express is confused In its observation or the above is intentional misrepresentation, The Gazette's contracts for advertising of this character were all cancellcd long ago and it does uot.j«bllHU tlicm. Evory PADnr 1" Tnrro Haute printed lottery advertisements previous to the passage of the state law, Which the Gazette has never opposed.

The above is from yesterday's Ga-1 zette. Within the past eix months] ihere have appeared in the Gazette

advertisements of the Henry College

Kentucky Lottery. If the Gazette will refer to its files it will so find. The Express remembers very well that they were published at the time a grand jury was sitting, and we marveled at the temerity of our neighbor.

The Republican district convention, which is set for April 10th, at Crawfordsville, is called for the following purposes:

First—The selection of two (2) delegates to represent the district in the Republican national convention, and two (2) alternates.

Second—The selection of one member of the state central committee. Tliii-vl—FiAtng daio and plaoo for holding a convention to nominate a candidate for congress.

Fourth—The organization of a congressional district committee. This committee, will be composed of the chairmen of the several county central committees, with the district member of the state central committee as chairman.

The basis of representation is one delegate for every 200 votes, and one for every fraction over 100 votes cast for Governor A. G. Porter in 1880.

The opponents of the news copyright bill, and these opponents are fouDd almost exclusively among those who profit by the larceny, are trying to make it appear that the bill before congress is for the protection of "a monopoly," meaning the Associated Press, and against "the dash and enterprise" of growing journals. The lill is-for protection sgainst piracy, if that is what is meant by''dash and enterprise," which in fact consists in stealing early copies of daily newspapers and quickly reproducing the news contained in them. The effortto make it appear that the bill is for the benefit of the large metropolitan dailies as against the country press will npt avail. The discussion of the measure is speedily oispelling the first and general impression that such yvouUl be the effect or the Igw. Ite

Copyrighting News.

New York Tribune. A proposition to copyright newB sounds strangely to some, perhaps. News seems to be such an intangible thing. It is what A tells B, orB tells C, or what the newspaper tells each of them. The time was when men would have started at being told that news could be considered property, "let that is what the progress of the age has made it, and in the further progress of the age measures must be found to protect it, which Mr. Watterson's bill for copyrighting news proposes, in part, to do. Enormous sums

are expended in the collec-

tion of news—far greater than most newspaper readers realize. The product of all this labor and expense is jast as clearly property as if it could bo weighed or measured, or cut with a knife or melted, and therefore just as clearly entitled to protection against thieves. The ordinary thief, when he is caught, goes to the penitentiary. The news thief enjoys complete immunity. He secures an early copy of some enterprising paper, steals from it news which has cost it a great deal of money to obtain, and reprints It in hiB own paper almost as soon, or perhaps quite as •oon, as the original owner gets it be fore the eyes of its readers, or he telegraphs It to some distant paper, being enabled by the difference in time to have even a greater advantage there The plan of the Watterson bill is simply to prevent such thieving by giving newspapers a copyright on their news for a few hours. The length of time is not of importance. Twenty-four hours has been Bpoken of. Twelve would be better even six or eight would doubtless be sufficient. A limit of twenty four hours might seem to interfere with the free copying of matter from other papers with credit, or might be supposed to embarrass the evening papers, though it need not do so. A copyright ot twelve hours or of eight, would serve all practical purposes. News to be stolen so as to be of use, must be stolen at once. Those who have suggested that news could be rewritten so as to destroy its identity, and the thief thus escape punishment, do not understand the real nature of this grievance. The news theif does his stealing when there is no time to rewrite. If congress will give the copyright the newspapers will look after its practicability.

This is not a bill in the interest of any particular news association. All news associations, and all newspapers, would be protected by it It is not an attempt to monopolize information, as some, out of interested motives, have absurdly represented. It simply proposes that newspapers which have spent their money for a thing shall be entitled to" the control of it for the very brief time which will prevent their being robbed of it. A newspaper which spends many thousands, of dollars for news annuallv has surely the same right to be protected in the ose oI its property as tbe writer oi a book,

•=pjs*r

composer of apiece of mane, or the publisher of a photograph. No one would be so unreasonable to expect or so foolish as to desire along copyright over news. That would bo wildly impracticable. All that the Watterson bill asks is that the newspapers shall not have their news stoen from them before their very eyes, and published simultaneously with them by others who have borne no part of the expense of getting it. It is a bill which men who practice honest methods of business of any kind ought to favor. How any honest man who understands it can object we can't see. Men who live by stealing the fruits of other people's enterprise and money of course won't like it. But is congress to legislate for them

SUMMING UP THE WORK.

T!WL Investigation Ended—The Last Witnesses Examined and the Committee Preparing to Return to Washington-

What the Majority Will Report—Bour lon Defense. New Orleans Special.

The senate committee investigating the Copiah county election outrages completed its work in this city late this afternoon, Mr. Frye waiving his desire put on a few more witnesses. A umber of persons were called to-day both Senators Jonas and Frye. Nothing new was developed. Several Democratic witnesses, seven of whom had been members of the Hazlehurst mob, ^re dismissed without a hearing.

The testimony taken during the in vestigation will amount to 500 printed pages, and the committee's report will be made as soon as the evidence can be printed and digested. Two reports will be made. The three republican members will find that the testimony fully proves that in Copiah county there was a determination last fall to elect bourbon officars at any cost, and that the independent movement having grown so strong that it was sure to carry the election with a free ballot, the democrats organized a reign ot terror to overcome this, and an armed mob under the lead of the democratic politicians marched over the county whipping, shooting, and murdering.

The report will also say that, as the crowning act of this grievous crime, J. P. Matthews, the trusted leader of the independent party, a wealthy and respected man, was notified by the mob that he should not vote, while other active republicans were advised to stay away from the pollB. Matthews went to vote, and was killed at the polls by a Democratic marauder, who has since acknowledged that he committed the murder because he was so directed by the party, but who has never been brought to justice, but, on the contrary, was elected after the murder as city marshal. No one has been brought to trial for any other outrage committed on persons and property during the rule of the mob, while for the three .weeks during which it pursuedjits cowardly ciimes no officer of the law interfered. The sheriff did nothing, thegovernor would do nothing, and the Damocratic press and party in Copiah and the state had no word of condemnation to offer.

Matthews appealed for protection and was killed, while other independents ol?u!igu|ir&fi£fe?s on"Section,day the polls were surrounded with armed men, so that the independent majority of 1881 in Copiah was, in 1883, by force and violence, turned into a paltry minority of 875 votes. All this was done with passive consent which, with such offences, was equivalent to the active approval of the magistrates and peace officers of the state, and though many good men in Copiah have deprecated these outrages, yet the amout of pub lie sentiment is still so strong in that direction that no utterance has ever been made to disavow the acts of the mob..

The majority will also indicate what a farce is popular government in Mississippi from these tragic recitals, and from the testimony of men high in Democratic counsels, who have sworn that rather than allow a majority of the votes to obtain control of the public affairs, the minority miifht, if it so deemed best, use force and intimidation. This avowed determination will he pointed out as the great source of endless trouble in the south, and the subversion ot common rights to be remedied only by some action on the part ot the federal government or such wholesome action by tbe law and order part of the community as will convince the south that until it learns to respect the rights of all citizens it can never be trusted with national administration.

The minority will undoubted! deny that the outrages in Copia have any political connection, but grew out of private feudp. An alleged improper use ot the county administration by the independents, a fear that Matthews would become all-powerful politically by raising the race issue and rallying the negroes about him, and a rumor that the negroes were about to arm last fail, will be relied upon to show that the democracy had good reason to use every lawful means to carry their point. The mob was but a band of excitable young men—rash, perhaps, not criminals. The state officers did their whole duty. The murder of Matthews was unpremeditated and to be deprecated, but brought nhont, in a measure, by the strong sta r! -lie has taken against Democracy The electioon was fair and honest.

In tbe mass of testimony which has been taken two"or three facts stand out clearly. The Democrats will defeat independent movements when necessary by force rather than lose control of the southern states, and for that purpose allow a state of affairs to exist for which no excuse can be offered.

The committee will arrive in Washington Saturday night. A meeting to hear Congressman Barksdale's testimony will take place next week, and a report will be made to the senate about the beginning of April. iZwf
