The weekly clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1863-1882, 1869-11-18

The murmurs among the opposers of
Radicalism at the Conservative Repub-
lican movement, have almost entirely
ceased in every quarter, and where
there is not entire agreement as to
the State and Congressional tick
cts, the union is cordial and thorough
in support of sound, reliable men for the
Legislature. For example, the Houston
Record comes to US with the names of the
Conservative nominees in Chickasaw for
that body flying at its masthead, as fol-
lows: For the Senate, w. j. Lacey, w.
F. Dowd; For the House, Benton
Mcfarland and j. w. Whitmore. The
Record adds:
The candidates are all well known as men
of the right stamp; men who have proved
their faith by their works In times past
They are In all respects wei qualified TO
grace the position the trye people Of Chicka-
saw intend they shall I'LL.

We are gratifed to note that Judge
Kellogg, the candidate of the Conservative
Republicans, has now fair field against
Morphis, his scalawag competitor (who
by the way presided over the Convention
of November 25th, which petitioned Con-
gress to ratify the rejected Constitution
and appointed the Committee of Sixteen
to engineer that Ubiquitous scheme.) Col.
Green Clay has announced his withdraw
al from the canvass in the following letter
which is warmly endorsed by the Genada

The prejudices which were created in the

Township supervisors.

A Supervisor is to be elected in each
Township of this State, on the 2sth inst.
No more important office is to be filled
at the coming election. 1t is the Super
visor who levies our taxes and spends
the money; he makes our new roads and
mends our old ones; builds our bridges;
selects our jurors, and in every particu-
lar he has charge of the public interests
and public property of the respective
counties of the State. He, better than
any other officer, can determine whether
our taxes shall be high, or whether they
shall be low. All these and many other
considerations combine in urging the
voter to exercise great wisdom in the
selection Of this officer. The rery best
man, in every respect, honest, intelli-
gent, candid, with liberal views and
good business experience, should be Sc
lected in each Township, for this Of
fee.
In Democratic Townships, we see no
reason why our friends should not select
men of their own faith-having all the
necessary qualifications-to fill this po.
sition; but in Radical Townships, it
would be well for our friends to vote for
the very best man in the Township
whose election they can make certain.
We hope each reader of this article
will give the matter his personal atten-
ton.

Reported Revival of the Holy ALI

e.. nuCR.
After the fall of NAPOLEON, three of
the great powers of the old world en-
tered into what they called Holy AL
lance for the regulation of the worlds
political affairs. Lord BYRON, in his
Age of Bronze, styled the Alliance
AN. earthly Trinity, that takes the shape ~,
Of heavens, as man is mimicked by an ape.
There is a statement in the London
Dailu Ners that the object of Lord
CLARENDoN's recent visit to Paris was
to inform the French Emperor of an ar
rangemeut on the part of Great Britain,
Austria, Prussia and Russia to preserve
peace in France in the event of revo-
lution's following or threatening to fol-
low his death, but this, we judge, can
hardly be more than a piece of mere
newspaper gossip. 1t is not easy TO be-
lieve that such Ministry as that which
Great Britain now has, with MIR. GLAD
STONE at the end of it, could be guilty
OF participating in or giving counten-
ance to any such preposterous arrange
nent. Great Britain, to say nothing OF
the other powers mentioned, will be
likely lin almost any event, to let France
alone, and try the safe experiment OF
minding her own business. She will
find this the most profitable as well as
the most healthy of all possible employ
rnents. And, if well attended to, it will
tax her industry to the utmost.

The Income Tax.

1t is stated that the Commissioner OF
Internal Revenue has prepared circu-
lar of Instructions, to be sent to she
deputy assessors of each district, III
reference to the assessment of the in
come tax. A thorough re.canvass of
each division is to be made October 1st.
Every house must be visited, and the
names of the inmates obtained. Per
sons who have no income to be taxed
must make an affidavit of that fact, and
those who have made no returns are to
be summoned to appear az the Office OF
the assessor, and IN case of failure to re-
spond are subject to a penalty. The
duty of energetic action is impressed
upon the assessors.-Bah. Sun.
Give another turn to the screws, ye
blood suckers, and convince the people
how delighted they ought to he in pos
sessing the best government the world
ever saw. We are only serry that this
adjustment did not take place before
the elections in Ohio and Pennsylvania.

1t must crafty every man in the
North who bas pleaded for Justice to
the South at times when the ear of the
nation was deaf to such appeals, and
when the utterance of kindly wishes
towards a subjugated foe exposed the
speaker to calumny and denunciation,
to notice how the Republican State con.
ventions in the South are, one by one,
wheeling around to the support of the
same liberal policy. There was no rea-
SOD, says the Journal of Commerce, ex-
cepting the cherished grudges and OBJ
stisacy of the governing party at the
South, why these measures were not
openly advocated two or three years
ago; but their acceptance at last is 80
great a boon to the South and the whole
country that we should welcome them
without too harsh criticism upon the
malice or stupidity which has so long
postponed their adoption. Coupled
with this interesting fact we are pleased
to notice that Senator Wilson strongly
opposes any further interference by the
Administration against the so-called
conservative Republicans of the South.
We infer from his protest that the ridic-
ulous failure of the Cabinet to manage
matters in the interest of the Radicals
in Virginia and Tennessee has not
taught them lessons of discretion. 1t
may be that they will repeat the mis-
take, by throwing all the government
power and patronage against DENT in
Mississippi and HAMILTON in Texas,
aud experience decisive defeats in those
States; but we cannot believe that the
is SO dull rs not to ap-
precate and avoid policy which,
whether successful or not, will bring it
into greater disrepute all over TIE coun-

Radical Senatorial Convention for the

The Radical Convention for the nomi-
nation of candidate for Senator for the
Second District, composed of Marshall,
Wetzel and Marion counties, met at Bur
ton last Saturday. A citizen of that
place furnishes us with the following
account of the Convention:
BURTON, October 4th, 1869.
Editors Of the Register:
1 wish to inform you and your readers
that the Republicans of this Senatorial
District had caucus in this place, on
Saturday, ID inst., to nominate candl-
date for their party to represent them IN
the West Virginia Legislature this win
ter, and which they have done. The
caucus or meetlHg was composed OF four
gentlemen from Marshall county, MI.
Crow, Bener, Ried and Ferguson. These
four nominated Mr.. J. r. Brown of New
Nartiusville as their candidate for the
Senate. What part Marion and Wetzel
took am unable to say, as there were
no delegates from either county at the
meeting.

The rapid accumulation and growth
OF crests on carriages, note paper, and
silver, of cockades and liveries on
coachmen, is getting to be rather be-
wlldering, and some public spirited in
dlvldnal should get an appointment
from Grant to compile book of herald
ry TOR reference. In all of our principal
cities, and many unimportant ones the
number, variety and gorgeousness of
the hveries of the gentlemen on the
boxes" must strike every one. But how
IS one to know that 80 and SO is the
livery Of the Gunnybsgs, when the
Shoddies have the samef Nothing but
the direst confusion will result from the
present habit of every man prescribing
his own funkies' clothes. 1t is clearly
the duty of the government to systema-
tize this thing. Brown must not be per-
mitted to put his man in the colors pre-
viously selected by Jones, who got rich
first; nor must Noodle aggravate Doodle
by his similarity of taste. The powers
that be could make good thing out of
it by taxing these aristocratic trap
pings; and making them pay for the
privilege q crest and livery give in dis
tinguishing the exhibitors from tbs
great unwashed." At the same time
our nobility and gentry should be pro-
tected in their privileges, and those who
did not come over with the conaueror
(Grant should not be considered enti-
tied to these marks of distinction.

Removal of Caldwell, The Greenbrier
Registrar.

Months ago, Governor STEVENSON
knew, as we'll as he knows to-day, that
j. F. CALDWELL, his President Of the
Board of Registration for Greenbrier
county, was sceundrel and ia every
particular untitled for the position
which he held. Months ago, the best
men in the Republican party of that
county petitioned for his removal, and
petitioned for the appointment of MAD
rsoN COLLISION in his place. During all
these months, scarcely day, certainly
not a week, has passed, that the
Governors duty in thi, matter
has not been pressed upon him
in some shape. But he stood
immovably the friend and hacker of
CALDWELL. the tool of NAT. HARRISON.
He had determined to retain CALDWELL
until the Board should complete its
yillaiuous work for the year. Decent
Republicans in Greenbrier threaten the
impeachment of NAT. HARRISON. CALD-
WELL was relied upon to elect members
of the Legislature who would defeat
impeachment. Hence, CALDWELL could
not be spared until registration closed.
Tie work is finished, and, as a sop to
outraged and indignant public senti-
ment in other parts of the State, CALD-
WELL is removed,
Had this change been made promptly
when the Governor was first placed IN
possession of the facts upon which he
finally acted, he would have deserved
and received credit for doing his sim
pie duty; and the people of Greenbrier
would have been congratulated on be-
ing released from the rule of the worst
man that ever held power in this State.
But Governor STEVENSON preferred to
dare public sentiment and disappoint
the confidence of the better class of his
own partisan supporters, and be dogged
and jeered into doing his duty at the
eleventh hour, that prescription, NAT.
HARRISON and corruption might tri-
lumph. .

Rishta Of Married Women.

A correspondent of a New York paper
concludes, in a well-considered article,
that, in that State at least, women is
not SO very much oppressed by the
present social system as she sometimes
appears to think she is. He undertakes
to show, that, when she narries, she
has decidedly the best of the bargain.
She has the absolute control of her own
property, while the husband has not
such control over his-what is his is
hers, and what is hers is her own. She
may be rich in her own right, and he
poor, and yet he is responsible for her
debts, and she not responsible for his.
Her creditors can seize his property for
her debts, and leave hers untouched.
He must support her, and she need not
contribute dollar toward the expenses
of the household. If she owns the
house in which they are living, she may
turn him out oft, but, if he owns it, he
cannos turn her out. If he changes
his residence, he cannot compel her to
accompany him. She may absent her
self by day and even by night as long
as she pleases, and, unless he can con-
viot her of outright infidelity, he has
no redress. Lastly, the facilities for
obtaining divorces are much greater
for women than for men. If, then, a
New York woman would be lord and
master, the plan is easy-let her marry.
Undoubtedly the laws are not so par
.tiai to the fair and tickle sex in all the
States as in New York, but woman man
ages, as q general rule in most or all of
them, to hold her own if not considera-
ble that is not her own. But better
TINS nrohably than otherwise

Governor Stevenson's Finger in Ohio
County Politics,

We are informed that confidential
clerk of Governor STEVENSON, "a relic
left him of the FOREMAN dynasty,) was
the mover of the anti-let-up resolutions
adopted by the Radicals of Union town
ship, last Saturday night.
Because FOREMAN used to carry the
Republican party of Ohio county in, his
breeches pocket, STEVENSON ought not
to fatter himself that he can do the same
thing.
