Admitting that the plaintiff in error sFas a
corporate city, having more than two N lu-
sand inhabitants, (Which no where aI@sars
IN this record) the power to grant retail IL
cenSe under certain limitations and re-
strictions, was conferred by the act of 1872,
p. 100. But this is a special and limited iu-
risdiction conferred by general law. for the
public good, and both the extent off pow
er and the limits of its discretion, are strict
" measured and regulated in their exercise
by that act. 1t is not private right, not an
exclusive privilege. nor public franchise
granted to this corporation, for the benefit
of the city of jackson as such corporation-
but it is a naked power, special duty. inn
posed by law upon this body, for the beneSt
of the public at large, which can only ha =
ercised for the purpose and in the mannera
and according to the special provisions OF
the act, and is wholly foreign to the objects
and purposes for which the corporation was
created. The corporation was only ufed as
a convenient agent for the accomplishment
of the purposes of the act. Its object was
two-fold Ist, to guard the community
against the evils of numerous unrestraiued
retail shops; and ID, to make them source
of revenue for the benefit of Common
Schools. The act was subsequently amend
ed so as to appropriate this revenue in the
city of jackson, not to this corporation. but
ito the education of poor children" land the
support of paupers." See act of '46. u. los
In this respect, as aptly suggested by conn
sci for appellants. this corporation occupies
the precise attitude of the Boards of Police
IN the respective Counties or of any other
Court acting under a special and limited
power beyond its general or ordinary inris-
dle ton, and all the doctrines applicable to
that class of cases apply strictly here.

COLoRED SCHOOLS IN MISSISSIPPI
In recent speech at Washington,
Gen. Howard said:
At Jackson, Mississippi, the
schools are in successful operation,
but in Magnolia, Miss, there was some
bad spirit manifested A citizen of
the place, urged by poverty, started
a colored school and prosecuted
by the people. They were willing that
colored teachers should open colored
schools, but utterly opposed to white
teachers ENGAGING in the business.

The New York Herald's correspon-
dent gives an account Of the recep-
ton of Grant and Sheridan, by the
Senate and House, on the 9th, which
would make the impression that Grant
was treated rather cody, while Sheri-
dan was overwhelmed with adulation.
Shenck announced Sheridan only, and
moved Il recess of five minutes to en-
able the Speaker to introduce him.
This being done, the two Generals sat
down together for half an hour, during
which time Sheridan was kept busy
writing his name in albums, while
Grant received an occasional call for
the same favor. One prominent Sen
ator remarked to those with whom he
was conversing that Phil Sheridan
was the hero of the day, and the pet
of the nation" Sheridan called on
the President this morning before the
meeting of the Cabinet.

A HISTORY OF THE New AMENDMENT.
The editor of the Raleigh Sentinel
been furnished by some one IN position
to show the facts, with history of the
new plan of adjustment. A number
of Southern men, he says, were stop
ping at Washington, and being desir-
Gus Of doing what was in their power
to bring about an understanding be-
tween the President and Congress, I'M
dertook to draw up terms to which
both parties could agree. He adds:
They were strongly impressed with
the idea, that in the unfortunate con
fict which had arisen between Presi-
dent Johnson and the majority in
Congress that neither party could be
expected to propose terms of com
promise, or recede from their position !;
and likewise, that, therefore, the posi-
ton of the South, between these con
fiicting interests, was becoming more
and more serious and complicated
every day. With these convictions
they determine1to assume the respon-
sibility of devising plan, which, al
though drawn up in the spirit of com
promise, might, without any surrender
of honor, be adopted by Southern
Legislatures as a proposition to Con
gress.
