The weekly clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1863-1882, 1870-05-05

Elsewhere in this paper viii be found the
reply Of Mr.. M. b. H@son to the charge
of Senator Gibbs, that he had approached
him with dishonorable proposition in
regard to the State Printing. The reply
is published in the Vicksburg Times,
(Radical) as an advertisement, but The
CLARION, having published the charge of
Gibbs, and having called for the reply of
Hewson, deems it but fair to give both
sides a gratuitous hearing,
The reply is pointed in its denial of the
charge, and as emphatic in its denun-
citation of its author, as language could
well make it, but stillvit falls short Of the
public requirement in its failure to ex-
plain the object of the interview which
was solicited at the Executive Mansion. F"
Gibbs has given his version of what oc-
CURED. What says Hewson? If it re-
lated to a matter wholly personal, how
ever great may be the public curiosity,
the public has no business with it: but if il
related to public matter, and particular
ly to legislation affecting the disbursement
of the public monies-the people have a
right to press the question As the honor
and veracity of one of its members arc
directly involved, the Senate cannot
shirk an investigation.

judicial Appoint ents.

The Judiciary bills are passed and there
is nothing now in the way of the solution
of the problem, in which the people are
vitality concerned, who are to receive the
appointments, mere scalawags and car
pet-bag adventures without qualification,
or gentlemen who are really 'learned in
g the law and whom society will not pre-
g sumo to ignore" That the Executive
will have no difficulty in finding appli-
cants for the positions, is evident from the
number of creatures who are swarmihg
and buzzing like insects around him. He
has it in his power by going outside OF
this rabble to perform a great thing for
the State. By disregarding more parti-
zan considerations and selecting men of
judicial experience, learning and elevated
character he may not aggrandize the vile
party of which Grant, Butler the Spoon
Thief, and Beast Sumner the vindictive Fa-
matte, are opponents, and which good men
North and South are stunning as pesti-
lence, but he will secure to the people
what is really blessing, a sound and en-
lightened Judiciary. A step like this,
will do more in the interest of peace, and
in checking turbulence" and preventing
disorder, than all the "Secret Service
Funds" and "loyal militias" that can be
placed at his disposal.

How They Manage.

The Raleigh On. c. Standard in de-
scribing the management of the carpet
bag authorities in that State, explains
how the Board Of Education undertook
to sell the "Swamp Lands" of the State
TO carpet-bagger by the name of Bibles,
for the trihing sum of fifty thousand dol
lars. 1t was ascertained that Bibles, be-
fore he had paid dollar towards the pur-
chase, resold to capitalists at profit of
some one hundred thousand dollars
This being objected to by some parties,
the Legislature passed an act authorizing
this same Board of Education to sell
the swamp lands in the counties of Wash
ington, Tyrell, and Hyde, for a sum not
less than fifty thousand dollars to actual
settlers. The members of the Legisla-
ture had hardly got home before Governor
Holden called the Board of Education,
or part of them, together, and sold
these lands to this same carpet-bagger
Bibles and Samuel T. Carrow, a native
of the State, for the sum of fifty thou
sand dollars on a credit of from one to
five years. The quantity of land thus
disposed of amounts to about four hun
dred thousand acres. The Sentinel learns
that the purchasers propose to sell it at
five dollars per acre. Put the land at
the low price of one dollar per acre, and
it is worth to the State and her educa-
tional interests from three hundred thou
sand to four hundred thousand dollars,
and yet it is sold by Governor Holden for
fifty thousand dollars. And not a dollar
of that trihing price is paid, and no seeu-
rity taken. No one believes that the
State will ever receive one cent for the
lands sold. The whole amount will be
pouched by Holden and his associate
Bibles and others.
That this was vile proceeding is I'M
questionable; but that in the form of APP
propriating the public money it was any
more corrupting than the Secret Service
Fund voted by the Mississippi Legislature
on the recommendation of the Governor,
none will deny.
No wonder the heads that wear the
crowns of the carpet-bag governments
are uneasy.
The weekly clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1863-1882, 1870-05-05

The Legislature has come out at the
small end of the horn in the proposition
to remove Judge ShackIeford for ordering
the release of E. NJ. Yerger. The RAIDS
started out with flying colors and by
sweeping majorities passed resolutions
with that intent. The sages, however,
soon discovered that they had committed
themselves to an indecent and discredita-
bic proposition, and realizing a sense of
their condition, repented at leisure, and
acted upon the maxim that discretion is
the better part of valor. Their Commit
tee have in the progress of their researches
discovered that Judge Shackleford is not
in Office at all, and was not when the writ
was granted Is it not strange that this
idea did not penetrate their minds when
the resolution was pending? This is
certain, however: whether the Judge was
in Office or not, the prisoner was restored
to his liberty by his mandate, and it is not
in the power of all the disconsolate RAIDS
in the Legislature to take it from him.

A Ssnator charges tlnt 70 influence his Off
ei4i action. he Is approached acith
proposition to enter into ga dis
honorable and ipiqa6tous

The debate in the Senate on the bill to
increase the compensation of the State
printer, and on the special message of the
Governor reminding the Legislature thatit
has not complied with the law as previous
Iy expounded by him, will attract atten-
ton. A Senator Mr.. Gibbs significant
Iy refers ''to the attitude of certain SEN
ators" in reference to the said bill increas-
ing the pay of the printer, and though he
disclaims charge of corruption against
any Senator, he leaves a doubt IN the
mind as to the meaning really intended
by his language, and creates suspicion
that there is something rotten in Den
mark"
His speech, however, contains another
charge which is too emphatically made to
admit of misconstruction. This charge
is that the Private Secretaryof the Gov
ernor aC7iting from the Executive Office,
invited him to meet him (the Secretary,
at the Executive Mansion" and that il
compliance with his invitation he did at
tend; that then and there the revelation
was made TO him, by the said Secretary,
who was presumed to be in the Governor 5
confidence that the present printing ar
arrangement, would be broken up and
that propositions were made" to him (the
said Senator Gibbs that if he "would
fall in with certain arrangements in the
matter of printing" he "should have a
personal interest" in the same. Regard
ing it as "a proposition" to become par
ty to what he terms ga dishonorable and
iniqiitous contract" the said Senator
brings it before the Senate and
openly proclaims that he "rejects it with
scorn and Indignation" In proof of his
charge, he appends the note of the Pri-
vate Secretary appointing the meeting.-
The note is silent as to the object of the
interview; and the public knows what
occurred only from the statement OF
Gibbs. They will await with anxiety the
reply of the Private Secretary.
In connection with other facts throw
ing light on the transaction the message
of the Governor appeared, confirming the
information as to the breaking up" of
the printing arrangement"
Nothing short of prompt and thorough
investigation of this dark and mysterious
affair will satisfy the public and answer
the requirements of justice. The parties
implicated cannot permit the matter to
rest where it stands. And above all, the
honor and dignity of the Senate require
the appointment of a Committee to ex-
anime into the transaction and to make a
revelation of all the facts, fixing censure
where it belongs.

Has it not occurred to some of the
faithful commons" while the Governor
is giving them Information" that even
he does not know it all? For instance,
in his special message in which he chides
the Legislature for its blunder in the
matter of the State Printer, he assumes
that Shannon & Co., or their representa-
tives, would be the lawful Printer provi-
ded they had not forfeited their rights bv
failure ''to discharge the duties of the
office" We have shown that this failure
was not their fault, but was in consequence
Of the wrongful act of the Legislature and
heads of departments, including the
Governor. But enormously assuming
the Office to be vacant" he declares his
purpose if the Legislature do not prompt
ly act, to fill it by Executive appointment
Where does he get his power of appoint
ing? Moth the Constitution. He can
not refer to clause of that instrument
which gives him the power But he can
find provision declaring that laws now
in force shall continue in operation until
they are altered or repealed by the Legis-
lature; and if he will look to Art. 81 of
Sec. Z, Revised Code, he will discover
that by law which was passed when he
himself was member of the Legislature,
it is provided that if the State Printer
shall fail to perform the duties required
of him in the manner prescribed by law,
the Secretary of State with the approval
of the Governor shall contract with some
other person to perform the work. If it
was true Though it was not) that the
representatives of Shannon & Co. had
been derilect, here was the remedy pre-
scribed by a law which is made operative
by the new Constitution, and of the exis-
tence Of which he manifests profound
ignorance in the very m essage in which
he takes the Legislature to task for their
stupid laundering.

We call special attention to the ad-
journed meeting of mechanics and citi-
zens generally, to be held at the City Hall,
tomorrow night, at 8 oclock. The meet
ing of last Saturday night was a decided
success. The movement points to public
enterprises of the greatest importance to
our city. Now that an interest has been
excited, itshould not be suffered to abate.
Let us have rousing meeting tomorrow
night We hope to see full representa-
tion Of all occupations.

The Governor sent in four special
messages to the Legislature last week.
His papers are no less remarkable for
their contents than for the frequency of
their recurrence. He evidently thinks
his faithful commons" are in need Of
information and he is putting them
through a course of training. He un-
doubtedly estimates the capacity of the
majority at its true value, and though his
papers imply his opinion Of their unfit
ness for the places into which they were
thrust by Ames' bayonets, we have no
idea that they are sensitive to the impu-
tation-though Senator Gibbs did feebly
protest against the attempt of the Gov
ernor to run the entire machinery of the
State government But they are
getting eight dollars a day, and forty
cents mileage. They are dead-headed
on the Railroads, and besides, have in
glorious anticipation cabin passage and
free lunch with the Governor and other
dignitaries on the approaching day of
'jubilo," which Is glory enough.

A settler.

The Mongrels are kicking up their heels
all over the country, because mule man
occupies the chair In the Senate OF the Uni
ted States, in which Jefferson Davis once
sat. Now, we suppose the fools who ART
shouting over this most wonderful result OF
the revolution in society, and we may add.
revolution in intellect and responsibility.
think that the picture is a sublime one; we
have no doubt they do; it just suits their
ideas of mental and moral sublimity.-Day
Book.
Probably Radical malignity has not
enjoyed so great triumph after all, if
the facts were properly stated. 1t has
been stated that the chair itself which
Mr.. Davis occupied, was destroyed in a
fit of passion by some Massachusetts
soldiers soon after the commencement of
the war. Hence it cannot be occupied
by the mulatto Senator from Mississip-
pi, as has been said. Nor can it be
possible that he fills the vacancy created
by Mr.. Davis, in the regular order of sue
cession from his first election, as will APP
pear by the following statement
