EDITORS CLARION: We learn from
reliable source, that at recent meet
ing of the Board of Mayor and Alder
men, that that body had granted the
Bowman House Joint Stock Compa-
N.Y. free license for ten years. AS tax
payer of this city, ask, why this
special privilege should be granted the
gentlemen composing this body !!
They are all known to be men OF
means, and not dependent upon the
reconstruction of that building for a
living, whilst there are others en-
gagged in that business who depend
upon it entirely for a livelihood. These
gentlemen pay heavy licenses. We
understand that the argument used is.
that it is an improvement to the city.
We venture the assertion that Col.
Dickson would rebuild the Dickson
House on the same terms. Why not
give Mr.. Nelson and Col. Edwards the
same privilege? They have improve
ments already that are great conve-
nience, not only to the citizens of Jack
son, but the travelling community at
large.
We certainly consider this legisla-
ton upon the part of our city authori-
ties a great outrage on those who pay
a heavy license for this purpose. We
hope, if this privilege is granted this
Company, all who are engaged in the
business will be granted the same.

The AMENDMENr IN LOUISIANA
BY unanimous vote of the Louisiana
House Of Representatives, on Wednes.
day, 1t concurred in the joint resolu.
ton of the Senate rejecting the pro.
posed amendment to the Federal Con-
stitution. In thus disposing of this
question the Legislature of Louisiana
has only followed the example set by
the other Southern States. The una
nimity Of both branches of the Assem-
bly, is an evidence of the universal re-
entertained by the people for
the amendment.

DEsT1TUTIoN IN GEoRGIA.-It is said
that in Warren county, Georgia, fifty
miles west of Augusta, there are over
seven hundred men, women and child
rem, white and black, without food.ex-
cept as it is doled out to them by the
charity of others. In the neighboring
county of Henry there are eight hun
dred names reported, by the Inferior
Court, of persons who are in the most
INDECENT circumstances. The Inferior
Court of Cherokee county reports
twelve hundred of the same class.
More or less are reported in other
counties. Fifty thousand would not
more than cover the number of those
who have not the actual means of sub
sistence.

NEcGAFFEYsS
COTTON SEED PLANTER.
PATENTED JULY II, 1866.

HyHIS Machine has been practically tested,
Il and is fully GUARANTEED to do the
work as well in ALL respects as is usually
done by hand. ,s
1t makes the furrow, drops and covers the
seed at the rate of from eight to twelve acres
per day, with but one horse or mule to draw it,
and a hand to guide it and keep it supplied
with seed.
The seed is taken from the hopper by rota-
ting fingers, which separate the seeds and dis
tribute them EVENLY in the furrow.
1t is so simple and complete in its construc-
ton that it cannot by any possibility clog or
become foul, or fail to deposit the seed regular
ly.
It is fully endorsed by experienced cotton
growers, and recommended as good and prac-
teal machine. The best yet invented. It is
selling readily wherever introduced.
The following are a few of the names of
members of the Legislature and prominent
planters who have recently ordered these ma
chimes, after witnessing its operation at Jack

THE WEEKLY CLARION.

There is some sonnd sense in the
following from the Richmond Inqui-
rer. We do not know enough yet
about the new proposition of adjust
ment to reject il. Our opinion, based
upon the kilograms that have reached
us, was given in Sundays issue and
we want it considered by the people
when the plan is laid before them in
extenso and as a finality. We want
peace-a permanent tranquility-and
should employ every honorable means
to secure it; but hooking our man
hood, and insulting the intelligence of
the Southern people, is too dear
price. Here is the Inquirer's advice:
Our situation is too grave and criti-
cal for violent language or rash coun-
ellis. We think more than ever that
no time should be lost in dispatching
trustworthy persons to Washington to
confer with the proper parties, and
advise us, instead of leaving matters
to drift or to fall in the hands, it may
be, of the ignorant, the false, the de-
signing or the treacherous, of the sons
of the South. We are not of those
who would reject any and every plan
of pacifcation, preferring to drift on
without chart or compass, trusting to
luck for propitious result. There are
those who cry out against all schemes
of settlement, reckless of the ruin that
may follow a reckless and impractica-
BILE course. Such is not our temper,
and such is not the temper of the
Southern people, as is evidenced by
the concessions to which they have

To the Editors of the Jackson Clarion:
l am pleased to see in to-day's issue OF
your paper, an editorial under the head of
Immigration and Labor" I agree with
you, in your assertion that Immigration is
the only salvation of the Southern States,
What has given wealth and power to the
Western States ?-the answer is plain. Ie is
foreign immigration, which has opened up
the wealth and developed the resources of
that country. Have those States which are
now so far ahead of us in point of numbers,
wealth, and agricultural resourees-any
advantages in the way of climate, soil, &c !?
Most assuredly not, but on the contrary.
We can produce double the value from our
soil, which the same number of acres will
yield in Illinois or any of the Western
States. They may excel us in the produc-
tion of small grain, but on the other hand
our climate and soil will produce more
valuable productions which cannot be
grown in q more northern latitude.
The natural and mineral resources of the
South, are also, certainly as great as that of
the Western States, and our geographical
position, with numerous navigable streams,
railroad communication and nearness to the
sea, gives US many advantages over out
Western neIghbors. In view of these things,
1 would suggest that some of our talented
and practical members of the present Legis-
lature, get up bill to encourage immigra-
ton and protect the industrial and pro-
ducing class of our people / would also
throw out as hint that high taxation wild
deter immigration, and that direct taxation
upon the products of our soil, will cause the
immigrant to seek other fields for his invest
ment and labor.
We should throw aside all local prejudice |
and give ample and sure protection to all |
immigrants who may core among us to
invest theircapital and become citizens-letl
them come from whatsoever country they |
may. K

General Thomas urges the following
plan enforcing the laws in the late
Confederate States. Instead of set
ting present government aside let the
national authorities appoint q COM
mission of loyal persons, armed with
judicial powers, TO try all cases which
arise between loyal men and rebels,
and make of the military posse to
enforce the authority of the Courts.
The object of Mr.. Bingham's bill, al
ready noticed, is to legalize the latter
part Of the plan.

The RAILROAD TAx.-In an article
on the railroad tax, the Goodman Star
says:
Such a law is contrary to sound
public policy, and should no longer
cumber the statute book Of our State.
Our railroads should meet with all
necessary encouragement; they are a
public blessing-the peoples high
ways, and We trust our legislators have
too clear conception of the right to
refuse the plea of the memoralists.
No other interest in the State suffered
more than that Of our railroads. They
were built at a heavy cost, and had
just got fairly under Roadway when the
war burst upon the country with the
fury of tornado of the tropics-pros-
trating them as well as every other
thing that stood before it, even as the
leviathans of the forest, are FRUSTRATED
before the storm that nothing can re-
sist; and in view of this; we think it
would envince an illiberality unparal-
lelled to insist upon their paying a tax,
which would go far to crush their en-
ergies and PROSTATE their power.
