Take Notice.

The Legislature has changed the time of
holding the election for County officers
from the first Saturday in March to the
fourth Saturday in the same month. The
bill passed both Houses on the 4th inst,
and is now a law. We are no admirer of
the change. 1t was done in order to throw
the election of county officers and the
adoption of the amended Constitution to-
gether under the plea that it would save
the State the expense of holding a separate
election. 1t will induce undue excitement
and in many instances effect the choice Of
county officers. So far as the voters of this
county are concerned, and we have con-
versed with many on the subject they
dislike the law.

New Section Of the Constitution.

For the information of our readers, we
publish the section of the new. constitution,
passed by the Convention last Saturday re-
lating to clerks of courts:
Mr.. Jones, of Lincoln, moved to take up
the motion to lay the motion to reconsider
section / 3 on the table The motion was
taken up and the section reconsidered, after
which Mr. Jones, of Lincoln, moved to
amend by making the term of Office of Cir
cult Court Clerks four instead of six years
Carried.
Mr.. Kennedy offered the following in lieu
Of the section.
SEC Is The Judges of the Supreme Court
shall appoint their clerks, who shall hold
their Offices for six years. ChancelIors shall
appoint their clerks and masters, who shull
hold their Offices for period of six years.
Clerks of such inferior courts as may here
after be established, which shall be required
to be holden in the respective counties of
this State, shall be elected by the qualified
voters thereof for the term Of four years
they shall be removed from Office for NAL
feasance, incompeteRcy, or neglect of duty,
in such manner as may be prescribed by
law.
The section in lieu was adopted by vote
of Sc to 80.
From this it will be seen that the Office of
Clerk has been made of longer duration
than heretofore, and will necessitate great
amount of care on the part of the people in
selecting the proper sort of men to fill
them.

Rutler's Opinion.

The New York Herald, in noticing the
fact that General Butler, of Massachusetts,
was at the Astor House, says:
"The General expresses the opinion that
there is no use for the Republicans to com
menee laying pipe for the next Presidency,
or any othe~ Presidency, unless they radi-
cally change heir policy.
General Butler thinks that eventually
the colored population will 90 for repudia-
ton. They have sense enough to see, he
argues, that it is rot to their interest to help
pay an enormous National debt, which they
had no hand in creating"
There is a sagacity in the above, for what
ever Butler may be, no one ever accused
him of being fool. There would be a
beautiful moral retribution to the bond
holding influence, which, by fraud and
force, has assisted to foist negro suffrage
upon the South, to find, in the end, that
their Ubiquitous debt has been repudiatcd
by the aid of their proteges. If the negro
is permitted to vote, this will probably be
the case.

o. for a Cook:

Bolivar is not the only place where people
are without servants. Here is What the
editor of the lincoln County Ne,cs says.
He, like we uns, is getting hungry, and, be-
sides, wants some washing done:
Hunting the hipopotamus on the banks
OF the Nile. the alligatOrs in the bayous of
Louisiana, the lion in Numidia, the gorilla
in Africa, and the tiger in Bengal, are all
tame and inert pastimes compared TO hunt
ing cook IN Fayetteville. We have read
of Du Chaillu and Cummings, the mighty
Nimrods, who practiced shooting on the
Aower-bespangled soil of Africa-have fol
lowed them on the minds swift feet
through valleys. jungles and deserts in
search Of royal game, but jehosophat! all Of
that sort of thing is like fishing for minnows
with pin hook compared to the exciting
chase after a modern cook.

HAToHIE RIVER. What is the matter
with the machine at Nashville? Rosson,
has the railroad rink become too strong for
you to get friends enough to put through
the bill to reopen Hatchie river? Give EN-
a tilt or two anyway. Hatchie has been Oh
the rampage for weeks and months, and
even now is bank full. 1t is wrong and
unjust for the General Assembly to neglect
the interest Of the people who live along the
Hatchie bottom, and force them to submit to
monopolies, when competition and natural
conveniences could be extended them with
out one cent of cost to the State Gentle
men, you are not doing your duty in this
matter, and the press of the entire district
ought to be frank enough to tell you SO.
Hatchie is navigable stream; every gentle
man along its course, from here to its con-
fuence with the Mississippi river, knows
this to be true, and will tell you so. Why
do you debar them privileges they once
enjoyed, and persist in keeping their lands
deprecated? Give us justice in the matter;
it is all we ask.
