THE Cincinnati Southern Railroad bill
passed the House but failed in the Senate
The weekly clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1863-1882, 1871-08-17


THE CLARION is immense, recently, on
republishing all the monstrous crimes that
il finds reported in papers emanating from
the northWard of Mason and DiNon's line.
1t does this for the purpose of using them
az an offset to such small affairs of a similar
nature as the northern people may read,
having occurred in Mississippi and other
Southern States. But the Clarion, with its
usual unfairness, generally forgets to state
the concluding scenes in the instances it
copies-the almost invariable punishment
which follows the commission OF crimes in
the Northern localities.-Pilot.
Our vigilant Contemporary, the Nicks-
burg Herald, anticipates our answers,
when it says that if crime is not punished
in Mississippi, the blame belongs to a
State Administration, which is Radical
in all its departments, Executive, Legis-
Iative and Judiciary.
But we do not concede that lawlessness
is as rife here as in the Northern States.
Exempting the example Of unmention-
able outrages at which human nature
shudders, and which are due to the licen-
tious teaching of the Radical leaders,
crime is not of so frequent occurrence in
the South as in the North, notwithstand-
ing the provocation of bad government
and unjust and partial administration OF
the laws.
1t should be remembered that it is the
daily and nightly occupation of the Sim
ported scum" who have come South to
make their fortunes, to play upon the
credulity of the blacks-to array them in
hostility to the withstand to stir up
strife generally in order to manufacture
pretexts for Federal military interference
in the interest of their infamous party.
In the Northern States no such occa-
sion for violence exists. The people are
permitted to live under governments OF
their own choice. Federal bayonets and
foreign courts are not substituted for State
laws. They are not logged from pillar
to post by hirelings and informers who
are bribed to work up cases for prosecu-
ton under pretence of enforcing the laws
though really to furnish pabulum for
partizan consumption. They are not
arrested on fabulous charges manufac-
tured for the occasion without warrant,
or judicial process. They are not thrown
into prison for opinions sake. They are
not seized by armed soldiers and dragged
from their families and occupations be-
cause their influence is supposed to be in
the way of professional office-seekers and
the spoilsmen. But not so with the people
of Mississippi. They are robbed beyond
their capacity of production. They are
oppressed beyond the example of the
most hideous despotism. And yet, un-
less Gov. Alcorn is a wilfull falsifer,
notwithstanding all these provocations to
violence the people present an u'lbroLe''
evidence of ciUa order and obedience"

The Radical organs here are both cack-
ling over a new laid egg. They have dis
covered that the amount expended by
the Legislature in printing the Journal of
the Black and Tan Convention WAS 49,
$685. instead of $50, 900, as The Ola
RIoN had been informed. Very well, we
stand corrected. Then here has been ex-
pended the amount stated without bene-
fit to the public. What possible good to
the people has resulted from this expen-
diture? Tens of thousands of copies of
the Constitution framed by the Conven-
ton have been put in the hands of the
taxpayers at their own expense; and of
what practical utility is this Journal 3
Can any apologist of the expenditure
explain, further than that it was a
part of the general system of plum
dering the people of the State for the
benefit of the adventures.
And now, while the Pilots hand is in.
will it explain whether THE CLARION was
correct in stating that the taxpayers have
been robbed of FoRTY-oNE THOUSAND
DOLLARS for printing in pamphlet form
the previously advertised list of delin
quent tax lands? We want an answer to
that

serio:Comic Correspondence.

The correspondence between Col. Nc

Mr.. Seaman, the political prisoner,
confined in the county jail, is a man of
truth and conscience, and has testified
before the grand jury that he is not a
member of the Ku Klux Klan that he
knows no person who is; and that he is
entirely ignorant of any facts touching the
order. He is not sentenced to prison
therefore for refusing to tell anything he
may know on that subject, for he has
made a clean breast of it. But he is
punished for being member, or on the
supposition of being a member OF
political association and for refusing to
recognize the right of any set of men to
institute an inquisition into his political
opinions and to require him to reveal the
plans, secrets, &C., if any, of any party
to which he may belong.
Now, we have good reason to believe
and to charge that there are members of
this same jury who have instigated this
punishment of Mr.. Seaman, auho them
selpes belong to secret oath-bo,and political
organisation and have incurred ga solemn
obligation of secresy as to whatever may
''transpire in their presence" on the
occasion of initiation-that Sin the pres
"ence of Almighty God" with uplifted
''hand," they have sworn "to keep secret
''and at no time to reveal to any person,
ssor persons, or otherwise in any manner
cor form so that at any time any part or
'parts whatever may here transpire or
(which may be made known, or become
ssknown, by or in consequence of this OBJ

secresy in reference to the Order to which
they belong, are also pledged by an oath

advocate and support the principles" of the
same oath-bound Political Organization.
Our present intention is not
comment on the character, purposes,
and secrets of this order, but to state
the well-grounded belief that members of
the Grand Jury which has instituted pro-
scriptive proceedings against peaceable
and law-abiding citizen to the extent of
incarcerating him in the county Jail for
the reason that he will not concede their
right to inquire into the secrets of POI
litical organization to which he is suppos-
ed to belong, are themselves members Of a
political society arhose secrets they are bound
BIZ oath not to reveal. If we are in error,
let them substantiate it by submitting to
the application of the test in their own
cases which they have applied to Mr..
Scanlan. Andif they do hold themselves
bound to keep sacred the obligation of
secrecy which they have incurred, in
reference to their order, how dare they

Does he persist in the 'Picked Cavalry"

ing to the ideas of Radical rulers) atrocI-
ty for quartering bands of armed maraud-
ers on the people of any county who may
happen not to be in favor with the incum-
bent of the Executive office, after the ex-
ample of the Kirk-Bergen outlaws in
North Carolina, who seized peaceable citi-
Gems in that State without warrant-rob-
bed and destroyed their estates without
conscience, and punished without convic-
ton. To carry out this system of legal
lied depredation-of numbering innocent
men; of outraging helpless women-an
appropriation of ONE HUNDRED THOU
SAND DOLLARS was contemplated. 1t

and failed to be acted upon in the pres

The POIicaI Prisoner and the
Judge.

Mr.. Thomas Seaman is still incarce-
rated for refusing to submit to the in
QUESTION of a majority Of Radical jurors
into his political principles, organization
and associations. But not for refusing
to answer any and all questions which
have been propounded to him in refer
ence to the Ku Klux Klan, of which he
has solemnly avered he is not a member,
and of whose organization and member
ship he has also averred, he knows moth
ing whatever.
The facts prove not only that his treat
ment is wanton persecution for opinion
sake, but that the jury has prostituted
itself into a mere partizan agency, hav-
ing for its object the development Of the
plans, or supposed plans of campaign of
its political opposers. Nevertheless, the
Pilot says:
There is, in the Seaman case no attempt
at persecution-no disposition TO deprive a
citizen of any Of his legal rights; no tyran-
ny exercised by any one in authority against
him, and the cry Of martyrdOm Is all with
out the least ground TO stand upon, and H.
only made for the worst OF party purposes,
! and can serve no other end. But how
strangely in contrast with the idea Of pes
secution Is the fact Judge Hill went him
self to the Jail late on Monday night, took
Seaman out and brooEht him TO his father.
who was in the city, and not well, wanted
! to see bis son.
And the Leader adds further, in refer
ence to the Judge, that he is a kind
hearted man, combining in the perform
ance of his labors on the Bench, "suaUities
IN mode with the fortiter IN re-" All Of
which, is no doubt true. 1t was very
humane in him to constitute himself the
body guard of young Scanlan to visit the
bedside Of sick father who had been
drawn hither on an errand Of mercy to
his imprisoned son. We can imagine
that when he conducted his prisoner
back to the felon cage, the iron door of
the prison grated harshly on his sensitive
nerves. But after all, there is human
nature in Judge Hill, as in the rest of
mortals. He holds his place by the grace
of vindictive and unscrupulous Radical
Senate, and bare suspicion of even his
reluctance to execute the malignant pur-
poses of that infamous conclave who rep
present the blind rage of a revengeful
faction, would cost him his official head.
Does the county poor ever quarrel with
the Poor-House9 Judge Hill, kind
hearted and averse as his better nature
must be TO the work he is performing,
has no idea of, losing his Office, any
more than the Pilot editors have Of sur
sendering the Printing Plumber, or the
editor of the Leader has Of falling out
with the Lunatic Asylum perquisites.

The Vicksburg News reports that Gov
Alcorn in his speech at Vicksburg, sta
ted that !" Scanlan was imprisoned be-
"cause having stated he kneaO Of the erlSt-
"ence of the klt-klur organization and acds
s'npember thereof, yet he refused to testify
further touching matters connected
"therewith and affecting the persons OF
"prisoners ON trial, upon the plea that
che would thus criminate himself"
We are amazed and indignant that the
Governor of the State could have lent
himself to the circulation of this libel,
which originated in the Radical papers
here, against this outraged citizen. The
statement is directly the reverse of the
truth. Mr.. Scanlan SO far from stating
that che knew of the existence of the
Ku Klux organization and was member
thereof" declared that he did not know
of the existence of such an organization,
and was not a member thereof.

The richest thing of the season is the
Pilots appeal to the public to suspend its
opinion in the case of Swami, the prose
cutor of the Newton county citizens,
until he can have hearing in the courts.
i" A hearing, except the execution
of justice upon him, is the last
thing this adventurer wants. Else why
has the prosecution postponefa trial until
after the election? Why should he,
the pursuer of these citizens, ask sus-
pension of public judgment? Is he
arraigned Is he on trial 7? He is the
pursuer, backed by federal bayonets and
sustained by the gigantic power of the
federal government, reinforced by Alcorn
with the Secret Service money placed at
his disposal by the Forty Thieves. The
appeal of Swami shows that he is not
impervious to the concentrated scorn of
the people among whom he Is plying his
calling. His cry of distress with
all this pack of soIdiery and mercenaries
at his back bounding the victims Of his
