The weekly clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1863-1882, 1869-07-22

We have published elsewhere the proc
lamation Of the President, prescribing the
manner Of voting on the proposed constl-
tuition and naming the day of election. =
1t will be seen, that the President has des-
ignated for separate vote, with view to
rejection, all the DISTINGUISHING clauses,
together with the clause forhidding the
pledging Of the faith of the State for the
objects therein named.
Gen. Grant thus endorses the decision
Of the people Of the State, to reject the
constitution on account of its more OBJ
iectionable features, when first submitted
and the act which declares his approval Of
their course, condemns the conduct of Its
authors 1t seems to be a foregone con-
clusion that the remainder Of the constitu-
ton, bad as it is will be accepted, in or
der to restore civil authority and to re-
establish relations between the State and
the federal government. The removal of
the DISTINGUISHING clauses will leave to the
people of the State the means of perfect
ing the instrument hereafter.
We have no objection to the time
named for holding the election 1t will
afford ample opportunity for discussion
and preparation

His endorsement of the sound, liberal
and Just principles enunciated in their
Platform of June 23rd, to which even the
Bitter-Enders have paid the homage of a
feeble attempt at imitation in portions of
their patchwork of creed, inspires the
enthusiasm of his immediate supporters,
and commands the perfect confidence of
the Conservatives. And the Bitter-En-
ders themselves are trembling at the
gloomy prospect which is before a faction
that passes high-sounding resolutions en-
dorsing the reconstruction policy of Gen
Grant and then betrays the cloven-heel by
refusing to accept as a candidate his
next friend and a member of his personal
and political household.
The Columbus Index hoists the name
of Judge Dent at its masthead, and con-
cludes an able article on the subject of the
election, as follows:
Upon the broad platform of universal am
nesty and universal suffrage, equality before
the law and exact justice 10 all men regard
less of race or color. and Judge Dent as
their standard bearer, the Conservative Re-
publican party of Mississippi will march to
q glorious victory.

MAJOR WOFFORD.

The people of Mississippi are under
great obligations to this gentleman for his
untiring and successful labors in their be-
half The abuse which he has received
from the DISTINGUISHES, the agents of
discOrd and the enemies of peace, is the
best evidence that his labors have been
in good cause. 1t is true he voted for
the Constitution in 1868, but we who in
tend voting for it in the pending election,
Notwithstanding the grave objections which
will attach to it after the passages marked
by the President are removed, can well
understand the difference between taking
it for its intrinsic worth, and as a choice
between the evils of rejecting it and pro-
longing military despotism, or accepting
it and establishing civil government with
view to its subsequent modification.
Maj Woford was among the earliest to
oppose the scheme Of the Committee of
Five to force the defeated constitution
and candidates on the people, and in the
Convention of November 25th, where
the split in the Republican party origina-
ted in consequence Of its endorsement of
that infamous proposition, he made
strong report against it. The success of
the scheme would have placed him in the
present Congress, but he disdained to ac-
cept the personal promotion that was of
fered him at the expense of the right of
the people to live under a constitution |
and to be represented by agents of their
own choice. He was present at the meet |
ing of Congress to expose the infamy of
the whole plan and to denounce the cor
rupt motives of its authors.
His more recent services are too promi-
nently before the public mind to require
mention. They have furnished occasion,
however, for us to say that, though he is
| member of a political organization with
which we are not connected, there is no
nan of our knowledge to whom we would
more cordially extend our support with
eference to existing issues, for any office
within the gift of the people of the State.
lie has the good sense to address himself
o the probabilities of the times. In war
Ie was emphatically war man. When
Far is no longer the game, he is peace
nan. And peace men in time of peace,
o matter on which side they fought when
ar was the order of the day, are the men
4 whom the people have confidence.

The Mississippi Bitter Enders Lag
gfmg behind i'm Professions of
MiheraliIy.

The St. Louis Democrat, heretofore
ultra Radical, publishes a series of ex-
tracts from large number of the Repub-
lican journals, from the New York
Tribune, down to the smallest penny
whistle in the Southern States, showing
that Radical violence and prescription
against the South are yielding to more
liberal and conservative policy.
In Virginia, Wells, the candidate of
the Bitter-Enders, protested to renounce
the proscriptiye features of the Under
wood constitution, just as in this State the
EgglestOn-Alcorn Clique, under the com
pulsion of two defeats, one before the peo-
pie and the other before Congress, with
another staring them in the face, profess
to have undergone a similar change. =
While We believe this profession to be ut
terly insincere, it is due to candOr to saw,
that the pledge to modify their principles,
is not unconditional. In their platform,
With good deal of circumlocution, thew
express the hope that the improved CON
Duct of the Southern people, will at
some future day warrant" the removal
o. restrictions and disabilities, which have
teen imposed for opinions sake. =
but who doubts that the desperate adj
venturers, and their renegade confeder
a5es, who framed the DISTINGUISHING con-
siitution, will ifthey succeed in cajoling
majority of the people into their support,
50 as to lodge them permanently in author
iE, discover that the necessities of e'Ioy-
atty will require an indefinite postpone
nent of the liberal policy? Alcorn, in
anticipation of an easy triumph and be-
fore the ink in which their platform was
written had dried, did not scruple to de-
hre, that "the people of Mississippi are
rot laW-abidinp."

Southern Railroads -- gee
ment 40 Immigration.

The New York Herald speaks as fol
lows Of the Southern Railroad consolida
ton effected for the purpose Of ahording
better facilities for travel and observation
10 those desiring 10 emigratc 10 the
South.
The happiest results have thus far fol-
lowed the unanimous adoption, at a con-
vention Of Southern railways, held last
January in Atlanta, Georgia, of a rcsOlu-
ton, offered by Colonel T.. Hubert, SUI
perintendent of the Western and Atlantic
Railway, that excursion certificates should
be issued at a reduced rate 81 parties Wis
iting the South for the purpose of person
al observation with view to personal set
Element or investment. Twenty-sevcn
railways have already entered into this
arrangement, and others are preparing 10
enter into it. The holder Of the certificate
which is not sold, but issued 10 any one
who, in good faith, proposes 10 travel
South to invest or to settles entitled 10
a reduction Of the fare 10 two cents per
mile until July /, 1869. A large number
Of hotels have agreed 10 deduct Onc-third
from their usual rates for the same time.
For actual settlers the fare has been re-
duced TO one cent per mile per head for
all ages, allowing eighty pounds Of bag
gage per head. There has recently been
such a marked and steady increase of
southwark travel over the railroads which
have agreed TO this wise system for the
encouragement Of immigration from the
Northern States and from Europe, and
the prospective advantages which, not
only the South, but the railways them
selves, will reap from it, are so great as
TO lead US to hope that the experiment
will be continued beyond the lst Of July
During the heated term Of Summer The
travel must slacken somewhat, but il viii
revive and rapidly increase during the
ensuig Fall and Winter if the same sys-
tenn be maintained.
The judicious reduction Of fares on the
Southern railway must directly promote
and facilitate Northern and foreign imml-
grafton TO the South. Immigrants, with
their capital of money and skilled labor,
can nowhere find more desirable homes
or more profitable returns than IN the vast
territory embraced between the Potomac,
Ohio and Mississippi rivers and the At
lantic Ocean and Gulf Of Mexico. With |
in these boundaries there is such a diver |
sitv of surface, soil and climate, that most
of the fruit and all the grain-in some To- |
calities two crops of certain varieties Of
corn and fruits annually -can be success
fully and proftably cultivated. The cen
Lral and most elevated region, including
portions of Virginia, North and South
Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia and Ala
1ama, in particular, for salubrity OF eli
nate, grandeur of scenery and abundance
md purity of water cannot be excelled.

The Admi N isfraIfOm and 1he Mis-.
sissipPa Election.
The following is special telegram to
the ST. Louis Republican:

The following is special telegram to
the St. Louis Republican:
WASHINGTON, July 15.-Before Judge
| Dent accepted the nomination for Governor
of Mississippi he had lengthy interview
| with the President, who advised him to ac-
cept the nomination, and expressed the hope
that he would be elected. The President at
| the same time said it was desired to have 81
| fair election in Mississippi and Texas; and
| if either Gen. Ames or Gen. Reynolds inter
| fered Herewith he would remove them i'm
mediately.
In another telegram it is stated that
Judge Dent had protested against the
purpose of Mr.. Boutwell,, Secretary of
the Treasury, to exercise the influence of
his Department in favor of the Eggleston
Clique, and that not receiving favorable
answer, he designed appealing directly to
the President for fair-play.
These reports may be true or they may
not be, but it is evident that the Secre-
tary of the Treasury.represents the Radi-
cal Extremists in the Cabinet, and is sus-
tanned by the Postmaster General, and
unless severely checked, they will use their
official patronage against the National Cor
LiberaD Republicans. In reply to an in
quiry to Mr.. Walker, Governor elect of
Virginia, while in New York, whether
the Administration was on his side and
would take immediate steps to recognize !
Virginia as restored, he replied: Seen.
"Grant was and is still, sincerely be-
''ieve, resolved to stand by the policy he
recommended to Virginia, but in the
s'late canvass Boutwell, and CresswelI
with the Treasury and Post Office De
apartments in their control, did all thew
could for Wells. These two engines of
s'power were used against us (said Gov.
Walker) as they were never used before"
We may reasonably infer that these
same engines viii be put in motion in Mis-
sissippi, if not restrained. But in any
event they can do but little harm in the
election; and their attempt to defeat res
Grafton after the victory is won will be
of no avail If the Virginia programme of
electing moderate Republicans for State
and Congressional Offices, bestrictly adhered

HE Canvass w hat 1S k<e4 uAreu.
The Virginia election has taught the
wisdom of running neither Democratic
State nor Congressional candidates. We
must unite all the elements of opposi-
ton to the Radical Extremists, and must
take from the Republican majority in
Congress, every pretext for refusing to
relieve the State from military despotism
and to admit it into the Union. And it
has taught another lesson which must be
learned, the sooner the better. 1t is that
victory over an adroit, well-drilled, un-
scrupulous party however odious its prin-
ciples, can be won only by the united
and untiring efforts of all good men.
1t becomes us to remind the Conserva-
tive Republicans that Walker and his
associates on the State and Congressional
tickets in Virginia, did not sit down and
wait to be borne into office ON the popular
wave without a struggle of their own.
They won the victory over the Bitter
Enders by proving themselves worthy of
it. They worked day in and day out.
Walker, the gallant leader of the patriot
hosts, carried his banner radiant with the
principles Of Equal Rights to white and
black, into every valley and on every hill
top of the Old Dominion, and holding it
aloft, called upon the true men to rally
around it. And his example was follow
ed by the other Liberal Republicans who
were designated to bear their parts in the
great drama.
Nor were the Conservatives idle All
of them, young and old, took their posi-
ton as priuates IN the ranks, except those
who were nominated for the Legislature,
and did what they were able. In this
grand army of men struggling for their
civil and political rights, were seen Ex-
Cabinet Ministers, Ex-Senators, Ex-Gov-
errors, each doing his part, and striving
as if the result depended upon his effort.
No one disdained to labor in the good
cause. No one played the ignoble part
of the WAGNER calling on Hercules to
help him out of the mire. Each put his
shoulder to the wheel, and thus was sped
on its glorious mission, the train freighted
with the destinies of the dear Old Com
The whole State was thoroughly can
vassed, and it was a rule of the Conser-
vatives to permit no champion of pro-
scription to speak without claiming
division of time.
The victory in Virginia is not worth
Whit of wind to our people if it has not
taught them the necessity of constant,
systematic, and unceasing labor.
