J. G. Marshall, colored, of Greenville, Miss., the Circuit Clerk of Washington county, is being urged by Representative Catchings, Senator Walthall, Col. Percy and other influential gentlemen for appointment as United States Minister to Liberia. Marshall is well educated, intelligent, good looking and well behaved, and if appointed will do his country and his race credit at Monrovia, the capital of the African Republic. -Aberdeen Examiner.

The foregoing we cordially endorse. As a Clerk of the Circuit Court J. G. Marshall has few superiors.
