Leading journals in the west are expressing
their convictions that the new Indian policy
inaugurated by General Grant is no longer a
doubtful experiment that the honest manner
in which the new agency system is carried out is
confirmed by the docility of warlike tribes and
the saving OF a million dollars to the national
treasury.

Fred. Douglass, in his paper, the Washington

National Era, says;
"The worst of all foes are those of ones
household. Often the very men who have been
most petted and exalted are the first to plunge
the dagger of treachery and ingratitude into the
heart OF the party which has lifted them from
the depths of obscurity TO the height of public
honor and distinction There is but one proper
way of dealing with all such, and that is to un-
mask them and east them ont, send them where
they belong. and have done with them"

The weekly clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1863-1882, 1870-06-30
From the Brandon Republican,
AIcOrn and AmeS.

One who had read the inaugural of Gov
Alcorn and did not know whom he had ap-
pointed to office, would suppose that he was
as far above Ames in his selections as the
eagle is above the sparrow. But unfortun-
ately the facts show that with all his tur-
key-strut rhetoric and fair promises, he has
not improved upon Ames.
The most odicus men appointed by Ames
have been re-appointed by Alcorn. Look at
the list and it will be seen that the most
bitter aud obnoxious men whom Ames an
pointed are retained in responsible offices
by Alcorn.
Ames said he'd carry the election for the
Radicals if he had TO march his troops all
over the State. He never professcd to be
fair. honest or liberal. He knowingly and
wilfully put bad men in office. Aleorn
promised to be fair. honest and liberal
would not haYe weak or drunken man in
office-would not have fellow whom socie-
tv would ignore, etc. Yet what has he
done? He has retained many of Ames' ap-
pointees who were selected as best calculat-
ed to punish the people who would not vote
Radical. Besides that, Alc0rn has put in
office men that Ames would not have touch
ed with q forty-fOot pole For example
(and we viii give here only one) Garfield
S. Mcmillan was q man that even Ames. bad
as he was, would never have appointed to
any Office; vet Alcorn found In him virtues
that no one else discovered-and that too in
a tima-serving, syeophantic secession DEM
ocrat.
LET their records be compared with their
professions and Alcorn viii not gain by the
Comparison. Nobody was disappointed in
Ames. but many have been sadly disap-
pointed In Alcorn.

THE LADY MARION.

This Is my Lady Marion.
She walks in our world. a Shining one!
A Woman with an Angel face,
Sweet gravity and tender grace;
And where she treads this earth OF ours,
Heaven blossoms into smiling flowers
This is the Lady Marion.
One Of the spirits that walk in white!
Many dumb hearts that sit in night
Her presence known just as the birds
Know morning. murmuriDg cheerful Wor0A
Where Life il darkest. she doth move
With influence of visible Love.
This is the Lady Marion
Her coming all your being fills
With balm breath from Heavens hills;
And in her face the light is mild
As though the heart within her smiled,
And in her bosom sat to sing
The spirit ofimmortal Spring.
This is the Lady Marion.
One of Gods treasurers for the poor!
She keepeth open heart and door,
That heart is holy well of wealth;
Drumming life waters, quick with health;
That door an opening you look through
To find our side of Heavens blue.
This is the Lady Marion.

But there is art, the most consummate art
in appearing absolutely frank. yet never
telling any thing which it is not wished
should be known, in being pleasantly chat
ty and conversational, yet never committing
oneself to statement or an opinion which
might be used against one afterward-ors
cGtdre drten in keeping ones own counsel as
well as in other things. 1t is only after
long acquaintance with this kind of person
that you find out he has been substantially
reticent throughout though apparently So
frank. Caught by his easy manner, his ge-
NAL talk, his ready sympathy you have con-
fided TO him not only all you have of your
own, but all you have of other peoples and
it is only long after, when you reflect quiet
ly undisturbed by the magnetism of his
presence, that YOU come to the knowledge
OF how reticent he has been in the midst of
this seeming frankness, and how little re-
ciprocity there has been in your condolences
together. You know such people for years
and you never know really more of them
at the end than you did in the beginning
You cannot lay your finger on a fact that
would in any Way place them in your pow
er; and though you did not notice it at the
time, and don't know how it has been done
now, you feel that they have never trusted
you, and have all along carefully avoided
anything like confidence. But YOU are at
their mercy by your own rashness and if
they do not destroy you it is because they
are reticent for you as we'll as toward YOU
perhaps because they are good natured, per-
haps because they despise you for your very
frankness too much to hurt yOu; but above
all things not because they are unable
How you hate them when you think of the
skill with which they took all that was of
fered to them, yet never let you see they
gave nothing back for their own part-rath-
er by the jugglery of manner made you be-
lieve that they were giving back as much
as they were receiving! Perhaps it was a
little ungenerous; but they had the right to
argue that If you could not keep your own
counsel you would not be likely to keep
theirs. and it was only kind at the time to
let you hoodwink yourself so that you
might not be offended. In manner genial,
frank, conversational, sympathetic--in sub
stance absolutely secret, cautious, never ia
ken off their guard, never sedueed into dan
gerous condolences, as careful for their
friends as they are for themselves, and care
full even for strangers unknown to them
these people are the salvation as they are
the charm of society; never making mis-
chief and, by their habitual reticence rails
ing up barriers at which gossip halts and
rumor dies.-SatuTday Review.

AS information in regard to Chinese SER
wants is of interest now, We copy the fol-
lowing from a private letter written by an
American lady living in Canton:
How our servants would enchant you
Yesterday one of the boys, Wing, came into
Mr.. C--'s room, and, in the deferential
and quiet way common to all of them said
Master, my like go-Pak Wan side, chin
chin that grandfather; tomorrow can come
back Fancy him a boy of about IS years,
with bright and pleasant face. dressed in
full white trousers, over which the stocking
is drawn, and gartered just below the knee
with a band of blue silk ; his shoes of black
SATIN, with soles of felt an inch thich; and a
blue gown reaching TO the Knee, and with
tremendously wide sleeves. The black tas-
sells which ad0rn the end OF his glossy queue
just clear the ground as he walks. His wa
ges are $6 per month, and he boards and
and clothes himself. During this temperate
weather he wears little skull-cap of black
satin, with blue satin crown. Of course, /
was all anxiety to know why he wanted to
go to the White Cloud hills (Prk Wan sham
and had dim perception of pleasure ex-
cursion of some description, and, OF course.
my conjectures were wrong, as they are
about everything here. He wanted to per
form his yearly devotion of the worship Of
ancestors and az his ancestral tonabs were
on the White Cloud hill side, he must bend
his steps. He is back again to-day as good
as gold.

GOOD substitute.

Pending the consideration in Senate

persons in disguise, &c, Senator Hardy,
of the Committee, presented the follow

JOINT RESOLUTION to provide for the

Whereas, There appeareth TO roam over
the entire length and breadth of our below
ed State, certain peculiar nomadic tribes
robed in frightful vestments of Witches, and
decked with the sombre ornaments peculiar
to the dark ages whose avowed purpose
on this sublunary sphere is the dethrone
ment of Justice, and arousing the fears OF
juveniles, anu other timid persons, by un-
Ringing their necks, thereby displaying the
hideous deformifies of their upper parts,
and disjointing their back-bones, thereby
revealing their relationship with the inmates
of another world.
And, Whereas. 1t appearing to the wisdom
of this body that these strangers of the
nineteenth century, should discontinue their
perigrinations through our peaceable and
quiet land, and thereby restore tranquility
&c our distracted country, and sOlidity and
firmness to the weak-kneed and terror
stricken.
And. Whereas, 1t being impossible for any

go FoOte in search of the frightful knights

taking these disturbers of our peaceful
dreams.
Be it further resolved. That when appre-

Grand Orient of France.

The following clear and concise report
was adopted by the Grand Lodge of
Michigan:
The Supreme Council of the A. q A.
Scotch Rite of the sovereign and indie
pendent State of Louisiana" having its
Grand East at New Orleans, processes to
confer the first three degrees IN Masonry,
and to occupy the Masonic jurisdiction Of
that State; and this, too, notwithstand-
ing the fact that our sister Grand Lodge
of Louisiana has long been recoenized
by all Masonic powers, as supreme within
that Jurisdiction.
1t is proper to say that the recognized
Supreme Councils of the Scotch Rite. in
the United States, carefully refrain from
interference with the Symbolic degrees Of
York Masonry, and receive, as candidates
from their Rite, none but Master Masons.
This spurious body in question, there
fore, violates the rnle and policy of its
professed rite in presuming to exercise the
prerogatives Of the York Rite.
