For the Clarion.
GubermntOrinI.

EDITORS CLARION 1t seems 10 be under
stood that our present very excellent and
efficient Executive desires to retire from his
position at tho close Of his present term.
That being the case, the people will nat
nrally begin to look around for the right
man for his successor, and desire, In this
communication, to suggest the name Of Hon.
H. 7. Simrall, representative from Wilkin-
son county.
These are no times for the people to
hearken TO the claims of demagogues. Our
State-the South--now has urgent and bitter
need for her best men, in all public POI
sitions--legislatiye, executive and Judicial |;
party hucksters and political tricksters must
stand aside In former days, when there
was little danger that the Republic could
take any harm" we might endure such such
characters to a limited extent now, we
must none Of them. We must have our
wsest and best men now--no matter in
what locality they reside.
Mr.. Simrall is eminently fitted for the
positions his course the past two years as q
legislator, has proved TO the people Of the
State that he Is a statesman Of enlarged and
liberal views, Of capacity, Judgment and in
tegrty, and one who would honor any off,
cial position.
Originally IN "old Line Wing" an ardent
friend Of the Lost Cause" faithful to every
trust, men Of all present and former shades
Of political opinion have cause to have con-
fidence in him, and will cheerfnlly and cor
daily lend him their support.
We venture to say that no more able State
papers have been submitted to the country,
since the close Of the war, than some that
have emanated from Mr. Simralls brain and
pen, during his connection with che present
House Of Representatives.
Mississippi, politically speaking, has been
very fortunate for the past two years COM
pared with Louisiana, Missouri or Tennes-
see, we are having political millennium
and this is due entirely to the wisdom of our
rulers and the conservative spirit of our
people, who have been willing to ignore q
dead past ard address themselves solemnly
to the living present and the momentous fu-
ture. In this they have done well. Mr.
Simrall has alienated none Of his old polit-
ical friends, while he has been fortunate
enough to win the favorable regard Of his
old opponents, and his election would Sc
cure o continuance of that harmony and
good feeling which now pervades our State,
and uniting all, would go far to make both
fortunate and prosperous as people 1t
matters not where the right man comes
from, North, South, East or West, so he 10
the right man. Mr. Sinrall has never
sought this ofice-does not seek it now.
Let the people of Mississippi lay aside pre-
judice and partisan feelings, and in the
coming election, choose only their best men
for the various Offices in their gift, and the
peace, harmony and good order that now
prevails shall continue and grow. and re-
act on all the most material interests within
our bounds. NORTH MISSISSIPPI

being fitted up by Capt j H. Greanar, for

pose for which it was used before the war.
IL is an immense building, and Capt. Grea-

other arrangements which will enable him,
II necessary, to turn on 10000 pounds of
manufactured tobacco per day. A walk
over the old factory brings to mind many
recollections of Confederate times. Here.
IN the fourth story, is the gable window,
from which leaped the spy Webster, with
his irons oni there the steps down which he
was borne on his way to execution; there,
