The weekly clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1863-1882, 1866-11-15

The Chicago Post and other radical
prints complain that the Southern jour
mails are exciting and encouraging the
spirit Of rebellion. That Is false, Mr..
Post, but we admit there is a marked
change in the tone Of our press and
people. We started ont after the sur
render to build up our own broken'for-
tunes, and support the government.
We followed out to the letter the in
structioHs Of the President, and when
Congress met your party refused to
admit our representatives You have
abused and villified US ever sincea
formed laws robbing our sector, and
DISTINGUISHING our people. There was
no kindness or Cancellation about your
party, and as a consequence we are
becoming ahenated from the govern
ment The people are getting tired Of
Northern treachery-of being in the
Union 70 pay taxes, and out Of it
when representation is demanded We
tried TO smooth the way to an adjust
ment Of our difficulties. but il was in
vain; and now we are Indifferent on
the subject Of representation II to
condemn the Constitutional Amend
ment and the policy Of the party who
created it, and urge our people to es-
chew politics until our time comes, is
rebellion, then the course Of this and
other journals is IRRESPONSIBLE indeed.

: GRIFFITH QUAINT, OR JEALOUSY Chas
Reade Ticknor & Fields Boston
1866
This is the cognomen of one of the
most singular literary productions OF
lmost singular and eccentric itera-
age.
Subjected as it has been to the most
severe critical animadyersions, and
having received over the sign-manual
y of its author pert and spirited vindi-
cation, it enjoys, if not celebrity, at
least notoriety, in the world of letters.
The arraignment of the work on the
charge of being immoral in its tenden-
cies, and suggestive of RIGHTEOUSNESS
in its teachings, is rather specious than
real; and it would seem to require
mind and heart already unchastened
by contact with the rude currents which
underlie the surface of English or
American society, to detect aught in
the detail of the plot which should
mantle the cheek of modesty with a
blush, or arouse within the breast of
the natively chaste an impure idea.
The plot seems to combine in admi-
rable harmony the grand conception
of Shakespeare in "Othello,p with the
melting softness of Kotzbue in The
Stranger
Caroline Ryder is female Iago,
without the same motives or success;
Mrs. Guant is Mrs. Haller, without her
guilt; and Griffith Guant is at once
Othello, acting upon false appearances,
without equal criminality; and the
Stranger retuFning after a long and
bitter absence to the love and embrace
unlike the Stranger Of a pure and
unstained wife.
Il IS unnecessary 70 add that the
apparel Of the production is classic
and elegant, and is morale a fine illus
tration OF two memorable sayings, Mt

The number Of fcmale employees in the
Treasury Department has become 50 great,
and many OF them are SO inefficient, that
the question of making clean sweep Of
them is undergoing serious discussion At
Washington. A great many, propably the
majority owe their appointments not to their
merits or capacity, but 10 the solicitation Of
friends, and d Crrat many more to the mere
fact that they are women, and dependent
IN their own cxcrttons for support. In SO
far as women have anything done for them
in the Government service which would not
be done for meh. Or are Kept in places which
men would tfli better, 1t is simply m nbusc,
which would assume monstrous proportions
whenever women were admitted to the bal
lot. If women are to be 'emancipated ~
(aLd We think .hey ought 10 bel, they must
take the burdens as we'll as the privileges of

be their vocation any more than mems, they
must compete on exactly equal terms with

and the time has coue for this rule to be
faithfully remembered and rigijly enforced.
