Quite a number Of propositions viii
come before the Legislature for the or
ganization of new counties. A glance at
the map will demonstrate the propriety of
reorganization of county lines in some
portions of the State. Among others is a
proposition to carve a new county out of
Tippah, Marshall and POntotoc, with the
county seat at or near New Albany. -
Still another, to be taken from the North
east of Marshall and the Northwest of
Tippah, to be called Alcorn county, with
county seat at Ashland. Under the new
constitution it is made the duty Of the
Legislature ''to provide for the organiza-
ton of new counties, locating county
seats and changing county lines but no
county shall be organized, nor the lines
Of any county changed 50 as to include
an area of less than four hundred, nor
more than six hundred and twenty-five
square miles"
In the Eastern States, where railroads
pass almost by every mans door, and
where journey of an hundred miles in
wolves but few hours absence from home,
the location of county seat is a matter OF
but little importance to the citizen. In
many portions of Mississippi trip to the
Courthouse is a matter of serious concern
to the unfortunate juror or litigant
The organization of new counties, how
ever, is matter that while it secures con-
venience. also involves expense; and the
people in the several localities, in signing
petitions should carefully weigh every
consideration before submitting their
wishes to the Legislature. We take ID
for granted that no proposition will be
made for the organization of new coun-
ties'so as seriously to interfere with exist
- county sites; and on the other hand,
parties who have property interests at and
near county towns should generously IA
yor the wishes of their fellow-citizens who
reside at points remote from the county
seat Where the organization of a new
county is desirable or practicable, the
schools and churches that spring up as a
necessity, will, in their influence upon
society, more than compensate for the at
tending expense.

Who are the natural successors. in this
State, of the men whose craftsmanship has
been stamped by the condemnation of the
war! What class of thinkers 0f the South

which battled against Southern theorizings ?

thousand whites of Mississippi, who are

enters on its functions at a time when it
may claim the unanimous support of all men
who stand ready to rally to-day. as they did
in the past, for 1.-The Union. the Constitution
and the enforcement of the Laws"
The attention that l have bestowed here
on the great practical questions before me,
has but stilled for the time the emotions
awoke in my mind by the greatness of this
occasion. Standing as do, in the position

ment in the hands of Providence. Hoping

name, to pledge the righteousness of my
purpose to the people of Mississippi ia the

1t would be eminently proper for the
the majority, which will control the Leg
islature, just at this time, when they are
about entering upon their duties as law
makers, to consider well the fact that
minorities have rights as well as ma
jorities. And they should determine, in
the spirit of fairness, which they professed
to have during the canvass, to respect the
rights and the wishes of the minority
which composes their body. 1t is true
that they have the brute power of num-
bers and can, if they will, ride rough
shod over the Conservative minority. If
they desire to do so, they may initiate the
example of that Constitutional Conven-
ton which framed the instrument under
which they were elected. In that body
proposition emanating from Conser-
vative, mattered not how eminently prop
er it might have been, nor how little it
may have been connected with partizan
ends, it was Immediately voted down or
indefinitely postponed. In this way
many wise clauses, fraught with good for
all classes of our people, were rejected,
while others much less desirable were in
serted In the Constitution.
Soft can be in this body, if the Radical
members who will control 1t so desire.
But if in enacting laws by which all citi-
zens of the Stateare to be governed alike,
they viii consider the act itself and not
the fact that it may have been offered by
a Conservative, the two parties which
compose the body may act in perfect har-
mony, animated by desire to be of benz
eft to the Commonwealth. Such harmo-
ny is most deYoutly to be wished for.
