The weekly clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1863-1882, 1870-02-03
The Constitution Of the state 90
be Dfsregarded.

We have repeatedly referred to the
section in the constitution just adopted
which provides that in case the person re-
ceiving the highest number Of votes cast
cannot qualify, the person receiving the
next highest vote shall be entitled to the
office. We have also said that we ex-
pected no regard to be paid to this clause
or any other in the constitution, by the
party in power, though it was the offspring
Of their united wisdom, when party ends
can be subserved by ignoring it.
That this is to be the policy of the Rad
ical party is clearly prognosticated by the
Vicksburg Republican, which says: "In
regard to those who have been elected
''to the Legislature in the faith of our
platform, we think honor andjustice de-
"mand that they shall be secured in
''their seats, without regard to their pol
cities They have been candidates, and
''the people have voted for such, in the
"belief that our platform was to be made
"a present reality. 1t would be bad
''faith to unseat such, and we trust the
''strong arm of the party, will be thrown
''around them, like hooks of steel, bind
cling them to their seats. Thus only can
eve keep faith with all parties"
Thus it is proposed to keep faith with
individuals, who have been promised
these offices, by direct and unequivocal
violation of the constitution. 1t cannot
be denied that the gentlemen who receiv-
ed the next highest votes under the con-
stitution are entitled to the places to which
their competitors are ineligible under the
14th amendment. If they are entitled
to them, at this time, then it is a vested
right of which no subsequent act of Con-
gress can deprive them. If they are not
permitted to take their seats in the Leg
islature it will be a gross and premedita-
ted violation of the constitution for the
purpose of rewarding members of the
Radical party. Should this be done what
guarantee have we that it will not be vio-
lated in every instance where convent
ence of individuals can be advanced or
party ends be accomplished?
The weekly clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1863-1882, 1870-02-03

We hope the planters of Mississippi
will begin with this year to so regulate
their crops in planting that the
proceeds of their cotton will be clear
gain. Though most of them made money
last year, it will be very generally spent
during this year in the purchase of corn
and meat to feed themselves, their hands,
and their teams. Very few have grain
to do them doing this year, and we doubt
if there be any who viii have meat suffi-
cient They need not expect to make
money so long as this is the case. To
make the State again prosperous the agri-
cultural community must have their cribs
and smoke-houses upon their farms, and
not in the great cities of the West.
The indications are, that the provisions
of which Southern planters stand most in
need, will be extraordinarily high, during
the year, and the consequence will be that
most of the money which our planters
made last year will have found its way to
the NOElINcsISTH OldlcSs D61CIO the Gnu
of 1870. This will continue, so long as our
planters rely wholly upon cotton.
We will say, however, that we believe
they are learning the lesson slowly it is
true, but surely, that it is safest to live
within themselves, as last year most of
them raised more corn than they did the
year before, but they did not plant suf-
fciently of it, tobe able this year to raise
their meat, and we now, therefore, at the
beginning of a new year, urge our planters
to devote sufficient attention to the rails
ing of corn that we may have it in abund-
ance in the State at the beginning of the
year 1871.
We are not advising that they ''pitch"
their crops for more corn than cotton, for
we are too well aware that this would be
useless and thankless task, but we do
urge them to make the quantities of each
nearer equal than they have done any
year since the surrender. If they do,
then at this time next year, they, and the
whole State, viii be better off than now;
but if they do not, the probabilities are,
we will be in a worse condition

|. We understand that J. J. Gainey. the
murderer Of DR.. Gibson, is ut large in
this city. Why do not the military
authorizes place him under arrest until
there is an investigation of the affair.
Simply because he is Radical carpet
Dagger, and the murdered man was a
Southern gentleman. If it had been
reversed, and DIR. Gibson was living, he
would have now been confined in a mill
tary prison, perhaps in chains. We have
been informed that Gainey Is the indi-
vidual who fired upon Capt. w. F. Fitz-
gerald in this city some months since, and
then fed to headquarters for protection
from the police. When officer Robert
johnson of the police went there to arrest
him, he was also fired upon by Carney,
but undaunted by this he arrested him
and placed him in jail. The next morn
ing he was released by military Mayor,
as he was one of the annointed of the
Radical party, and while drunk had only
INDUCED in the little diversion of firing
upon an unarmed and unreconstructed
rebel
While We are on this subject, we will
record another Of the low and partisan
acts Of the bullet-headed despot that com
manded the 4th military district, during
| the election.
On election day at Oxford, Deputy
Sheriff named Jones, deliberately and
without provocation, murdered conserv-
alive by the same name, but no relation.
Great excitement prevailed, and young
man about twenty years Of age named
Ellis, was seen with his pistol drawn, he
was arrested with the Deputy Sheriff and
sent to this place. Within a week after
was Jones, the murderer, was released on
| straw bail, while Ellis was kept in jail for
three weeks, and then released on SO, 900
bond which is forfeitable if he leaves the
limits of jackson.
| We will add further, that Mr.. jenkins,
of Jefferson county, was convicted about
a year ago by Military Commission of
shooting a negro, for whom there was war
rant issued, when he (the negro) refused
to be arrested. Mr.. jenkins was pardon
ed out of the penitentiary this week, and
| $3.50 was the consideration

1t will be seen in to-day's dispatches, that
Gen. Candy has issued an order that all
military commissions shall cease, and all
citizen prisoners be turned over to the
civil authorities, Virginia having been adj
mitted to the Union. The Legislature
by proclamation of Governor Walker will
convene ON Tuesday, the 8th. Col. John
L. Marye, jr., of Fredericksburg, has
been appointed Lieutenant Governor, by
Governor Walker, to fill the vacancy oc-
casioned by the election of Governor
Lewis to the United States Senate. Gov.
Marye is an old and influential citizen of
Fredericksburg, and one of the most tai
ented lawyers of the State He is the
owner of the famous Marye's Heights, at
the base of which, many of Mississippi's
most gallant sons. yielded up their lives
on the Sd of May, 1858, while protecting
the rear of Lees army, who were at the
time winning the bloody but glorious vic
tory of Charlottesville.

REvELs.-The indications are that the
Republicans of the North do not like the
election. of Mr.. Revels to the United
States Senate. Their party papers are
trying to pacify them by reminding them
that he is to occupy the seat vacated by
Hon. Jefferson Davis, in 1861. They
say if JEFF. Davis had not resigned and
taught rebellion, and if Mississippi had
not have seeded then this would not
have happened. This is poor consolation. If
the colored man is good enough to hold
all State Offices, he is worthy to sit in the
United States Senate If the Senate can
stand it, we can. We would have to sub
NIT to Ames representing US, and Revels
is the more honest and truthful Of the
two.

A bin has been introduced into Con-
gress to establish five military prisons in
such localities as the President may deem
best.
Military Prisoas-the very name will
cause shudder to every American who
has a remaining spark of love for the
liberty bequeathed to US BY the heroic
men who endured so much. during the
revolution that their children and their
children's children might enjoy the bies-
sings of freedom. 1t is true that through
out the length and breadth of this country
in the last ten years the doors OF military
prisons have opened 20 admit and close
upon the political prisoner-and 1t Is true
also that at this very moment they exist
in most of the Southern States, but we
had hoped that they were soon to be OF
the past, that Americans would again, be
able to boast that no military bastile des-
ecrated this land of ours which has been
dedicated to liberty, and sanctified to
that holy cause by the rich hbation OF
blood poured out by our revolutionary
fathers. We had trusted that they would
be uprooted by civil law, when the pas
sions engendered by the war had passed
away, but it appears from the proposed
legislation that we are to be disappointed
in our expectations.
The Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore Gazette gives the following sy-
nopsis of this remarkable bill.
/. 1t proposes in the first place to give the
President power to establish no less than
five iails, 'sin proper localities" to be called
MILITARY Prisons"
2 That the General of the Army shall de-
| tail prison commandments and grades.
3. That so much of the pay of every con-
Wet as may be stopped by sentence OF court
martial shall go to the support OF the pris-
ons.
A. That each convict shall be allowed such
uniform. fatigue clothing, and rations. of
the kind issued to troops, as the Secretary
of War may prescribe.
g. The President to appoint prison chap
lain for each military prison, who shall have
the pay and emoluments of post chaplain.
6. That for the discipline OF refractory
prisoners, the prison commandant shall, as
often as necessary, assemble court, to con-
s;st of from one to three officers under his
command, who shall have power, with the
approval of the commandant, to award sem
fences within the limits allowed by the rules
and articles of war to garrison courts-mar-
tial, and such punishment may consist OF
standing or sitting in the stocks, or solitary
confinement with deprivation of part of the
ration. or with deprivation of tobacco, at
the discretion of the court.

THE New MILITARY COMMANDER
In our last it was announced by telegraph,
that Gen Pennypacker had been ordered to
take command during Gen. Ames' alb
sence. Gen. Pennpacker has the reputa-
ton at Grenada, where he has been for a
long time stationed, of being high-toned,
honorable gentleman, and we are of the
opinion, that he will be great improve
ment upon the little bur1et-headed man
who has for the last eleven months COM

rate, we cannot be worsted, for there does
not exist more ambitious and brainless

CoIorcd Cadets for west Point.

Sumner, of Massachusetts, has mounted
another hobby, and it is no other than
that a number of the children of the new
citizens shall be sent to West Point to be
educated as soldiers. His principle reason
for urging this is that the majority of the
graduates Of the government military
school are not as '1oyal" to the Radical
party as they should be. We are indif
ferent upon the subject, though we see nc
good reason why they cannot hold militia
nv as well as civil offices. There is not q
negro in the whole State of Mississippi
that would not have reflected more credit
upon the army, had he had the education
al advantages of Gen. Ames, and had
been assigned to the high duty which the
late military commander of this district
had to perform. Nor is there one, uned-
ueated though he may be, that would
have been guilty of as many little and
contemplate tricks to secure a civil office
in State of which he was neither a citi-
zen nor a property-holder.
BY all means let us have negro cadets,
and see if the next generation of United
States officers have not more ideas of
gentility, decency, and what is due to
American citizens, than have Sheridan,
Terry, and Ames, who hold Generals
commissions in the army now, and their
under-strappers of whom Rodgers and
Whithall are fair specimens.
Senator Revels should second Summers
honest endeavors to improve the standard
of honor and gentility in the army, for it
has become woefully deficient within the
last ten years
